Speicher of Engle wood, Colo., whose body was found on the Oregon side of the Snake river in September, 1953.

Gomulko was one of a number of satellite Communist leaders jailed or executed in 1948 and 1949 for "Titoism" defiance of orders from the late Premier Josef Stalin's regime in Moscow.

Comment On By HARMAN United Press Washington-f-(U.R Don't ever say that our fly boys can't pick 'em up and put em down on the ground. 1 have the U.S. ! Air Force's crack drill rifle team, as signed to the 1100th Secur ity Squadron o f headquar ters command Harmao Nichols here at Bol- ing Field, , These hand-picked e n li s t e d men can do more with a rifle than a Tennessee squirrel-hunt er, except that these kids don't shoot unless the occasion de mands. They merely show their skill with the manual of arms, done on the split of a second. When occasion demands the boys are ready to act as what they are basically air police men. In times of emergency the squadron is elected to guard spe cial government agencies in the Washington area. And don't challenge 'em. Those rifles they carry can go off, too. Highly Praised The squadron of 75 airmen hardly ever gets a breather. Folks all over the country want to see their precision executions. They have caught the hand clap, since their founding in 1950, of the President of the United States. Also the presidents of Italy, France, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, Turkey and Pan ama. The king and queen of Greece liked them, and so did the queen of Britain and Sir Winston Churchill. Just any old body can't get into the select group. Each man assigned is a vol unteer. He meets rigid require ments. There is the proper mili tary bearing, fine Air Force rec ord, the smile of the pro, and he must not be less than five-10, nor taller than six-one. Once accepted, the kids catch it. They must practice the pitch ing of rifles and the footwork three to four hours a day. They must go through rigid calisthen ics before breakfast. A trainee isn't sure like the baseball rookie in spring train ing that he will make the team. There are all sorts of difficult maneuvers all of them invent LI u J I TI ! 1 mree uuwiu Are Missing As Circus Goes On In Garden New York (U.R) The cir cus went on Friday night minus three of its most famous clowns and the regular ringmaster, shut out by picket lines. Whether the greatest show on earth would put on its three per formances Saturday was a mat ter of speculation. Pickets representing the Am erican Guild of Variety Artists and the International Brother hood of Teamsters began walk ing in front of the entrances of Madison Square Garden early Saturday on a 24-hour basis in hopes of shutting down the cir cus entirely. The unions accuse the Ringling Brothers and Barn um and Bailey Circus of unfair labor practices. Lifted Order A city Supreme Court justice Friday lifted an order banning picketing and union pickets im mediately resumed their march of protest around the garden. Their presence prevented three clowns Emmett Kelly, Otto Griebling, and Felix Adler and ringmaster Preston Lambert from taking part in Friday night's show. The unions said that begin ning Saturday they would main tain continuous picketing and hoped to keep out all unionized employes, including ticket tak ers, electricians and the like. They also hoped to stop the de livery of supplies. The attendance at Friday night's performance was esti mated at 8,000. The capacity of the garden is 14,000. Circus spokesmen said the New York stand always starts slowly and then picks up.

All done with a silent single command. In one minute there are 120 separate move ments, at two changes a second. You have to see to believe. It takes good men to execute them. The Air Force boys almost never goof. The leader of the teams is S-Sgt. Jack F. Wilson, who is called a drill instructor. Jack is a handsome young man and proud of his flying suit. He has been with the Air Force for eight years, a rifle fan from way back there, but he has been with the drill team for only three and a half years.

Riesel Given Hope To Regain Sight New York (U.R) Doctors Saturday gave labor columnist Victor Riesle hope that he will regain his sight despite injuries suffered when a mysterious as sailant dashed acid in his eyes. Dr. G. Bonaccolto, director of St. Clare's hospital eye division, announced that there is a "good chance" that Riesel's vision can be saved although "he's not out of the woods yet."

SAVINGS 126 East Main Medford ike Resumes Ceremony of Receiving Credentials Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower Saturday resumed the old ceremony of personally receiving the credentials of new ambassadors for the first time since his heart attack. The President planned to re ceive the credentials of Ambas sador George Arthur Padmore of Liberia at ceremonies at the White House.

The ambassador released a statement from Liberian Presi dent William V. Tubman declar ing Liberia "has never been for sale, neither will the Liberian people barter their integrity." The traditional White House ceremony of receiving ambas sadors was one of the functions dropped from the President's schedule after his heart attack in September to ease the burden on him during his recuperation.

The necessary o f fi c i a 1 documents were forwarded to the President for signing. ;- Interior Agencies Raise, Engineer's Pay Portland (U.R) Interior De partment agencies in the Pacific Northwest, on the lookout for 40 young engineers annually, Sat urday announced higher starting salaries.
