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."

as "absconding pappies" was
brought under the reciprocal

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

machinery was needed to bring
the missing fathers into court. .
Another mass hearing on non
support cases was set for June
28.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Kefauver Burning Rickety Bridges
In Bid for Democrat Nomination
Washington (U.R) Sen. 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

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

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.

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.
