News came from Moscow. (International) First Models of New Interceptor Received By Defense Command San Francisco (U P) The , placed a contract for $83,000,- U.S. Air Defense Command is 000 worth of F-102BS. beginning to receive the first models of a new interceptor that is expected to fly as high as any Russian bomber. The plane is the Convair F-102A, the only delta or tri angular wing plane in the United States. It is believed to be cap able of flying about 950 miles an hour and to reach up to 50, 000 feet. Air Force officials put tht F-102A through its paces Thurs day at Castle Air Force Base near Berced for the benefit of 400 members of the Aviation Writers Association. Impressive Addition Although it was not the first demonstration of the plane for newsmen, the F-102A again proved to be an impressive-looking addition to the nation's aerial defenses. It climbed sharp and steep and at high speed. The plane is cap able of supersonic speeds. Air Force officials said the F-102A carries both the Falcon guided air-to-air missile and rockets. Interceptors used to carry guns alone. AH of its arma ment is carried inside the plane. There are no protrusions to spoil its sleek streamlining. Not Yet In Service The F-102A is not yet in serv ice, officials said, but one tacti cal unit is beginning to get a Jew. The F-102A will eventually be succeeded by a new model, the F-102B which will have even greater altitude and range than the F-102A. The Air Force has Besides looking at the F-102A, the intercontinental jet bomber and other new planes, the avia tion writers heard some down to earth talk from Gen. Curtis E. LeMay. commander of the Stra tegic Air Command. LeMay called the personnel situation in the SAC "critical." He said the re-enlistment rate will fall 50 per cent short this year of what the command needs to maintain a first-rate" nuclear striking force. He said only 8'4 per cent of SAC's present enlisted strength is in the professional category Second Annual Rose Show Set Tomorrow The second annual rose show sponsored by the Medford Rose society will be held between 1 and 9 pm. tomorrow in the Medford High school cafeteria. Entries wyi be received be tween 7:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. to morrow. There will be about 11 airmen with more than four years experience. More Pay Needed To afxact men into the Air Force, L-May urged Congress to adopt a "realistic" pay struc ture. He said the Air Force is in "direct competition to indus try and we are losing out." In addition, he said there should be adequate housing for Air Force families, complete military care for dependents and restoration of military "fringe benefits." He scoffed at the notion that patriotism should serve as the biggest incentive for keeping a man in uniform. "An airman cannot use his patriotism to pay his bills," Le May said. "It is not negotiable."

The fathers appearing here be fore Circuit Judge Donald Long were chastised for failing to accept their responsibilities as fathers and most were ordered to begin making support pay ments ranging from $10 to $125 per month. Judge Long said the reciprocal law was having results in reduc ing the welfare load for depend ent children but that better legal machinery was needed to bring the missing fathers into court. . Another mass hearing on non support cases was set for June 28. Use Tribune Want Ads By HELGA MITCHELL Applegate-Jacksonville Peo ple of this area were "gradua tion conscious" the past week.

Estts Kefauver seems to be burning his already rickety bridges to the South just as he did in his unsuccessful bid for the Demo cratic presidential nomination four years ago. Both he and his chief active rival, Adlai E. Stevenson, were in California today in the home stretch of their campaign for the state's 68 national convention votes. The delegates will be chosen in the primary p?xt Tues day. . . The Negro vote figures to be an important prize in that all important contert. fhe last of the Stevenson Kefauver primary races. In California, kefauver has said his Florida defeat by Stev enson this week was caused in part by the support given his rival by southern advocates of segregation. Both Kefauver and his campaign manager, F. Joseph Donohue, have used harsh language in referring to some southern Democratic leaders. Tagged More 'Moderate' Although Kefauver is a Ten nessean, many southerners re gard him as a renegade and he has picked up no substantial southern delegate support this year. While he and Stevenson both have said the Supreme Court decision against school segregation must be carried out, Stevens'".! has been tagged as the more "moderate" candidate by many in the South. Other political developments: The Negro vote also occupied held at the Milam residence on Memorial day. Guests attending were Mr. and Mrs. James Steph ens and their son Larry. Miss Virginia Neal, and Guy Powell and his son Blackie. The Applegate area was swarming with picnickers and' fishermen on "Memorial day; the Sunny Side Grocery store's cash register was ringing crazily; Mc Kee Bridge camp grounds were loaded; boats were being hauled up to Squaw lake; dogs tucked in the back trunks of cars were yapping wildly; and everyone seemed to be having a wonder ful time until the rains came. When the lightning, hail, and torrents of rain came down, all the happy people went hurrying and scurrying into their cars and rushed home through the cloud burst. Simultaneously, we ob served a very few people arriv ing at the river, dressed in rain garb; wearing a smug smile; hauling out their fishing para phernalia, and skipping gaily down to the river. Fishing was excellent! the attention of Republicans. A spokesman for Citizens for Ei senhower told a meeting of that group in Washington today to "drum into Negro voters over and over and over again that . ... a vote for any Democrat is a vote for Eastland." Richard L. Tobin, director of public relations for the pro-Eisenhower group, was referring to Sen. James O. Eastland (D Miss.), pro-segregationist and chairman of the Senate commit tee which handles civil right? bills. - Dump Nixon Drive Dead Indications are that the "dump Navy To Dispose Of 107 Old Vessels Washington (U.R) The Navy is asking Congress for permis sion to sell, scrap, or even sink, 107 of its old ships, including some men o'war which helped conquer the mighty Japanese Navy in World War II. Among the vessels listed for disposal are two pre-Pearl Har bor battleships, the California and the Tennessee, 10 cruisers, 10 escort aircraft carriers, and the carrier Enterprise. The "Big E," as it was affectionately known by thousands of sailors, boasted one of the great combat records of World War II. A dozen submarines also are lis'.ed for disposal. Most of the other vessels are landing ships and other amphibious craft. Nixon" drive once encouraged by some members of Citizens for Eisenhower apparently has died. The vice president was sched uled to address the group today. Michigan and low? Democrats held state conventions today to select delegates to the Demo cratic national convention. Iowa will have 24 convention votes; Michigan will have 44 votes. Michigan's votes are expected to go to Gov. G. Mennen Williams as a favorite son candidate. In California Thursday Stev enson and Kefauver swapped angry charges. Stevenson said at Los Angeles that Kefauver "apparently has decided after five defeats .in contested pri maries that if he cannot wint he will destroy." He said Kefauver has descended "to the mud-sling-Propriety Questioned At Ingjewood, Kefauver again questioned the propriety of Stev enson representing Radio Cor poration of America as an at torney in a case where RCA was accused of operating an alleged illegal patent pool. Kefauver said if Stevenson were again the Democratic nominee, the party would not make use of the mo nopoly issue because of his con nection with the RCA case.
