.,dme for Poznan
Revolt Last Week
Party Paper Charges
'Irregularities'
Berlin (U.R) The Polish Com
munist party Saturday took the
blame for the Pozon revolt in
a confession of "irregularities"
and "mistakes" that apparently
provides the' basis for the cur-
re-' purge of party members,
government officials and police
in the city.
In its efforts to soothe dissat
isfied workers, the party accused
local leaders of neglecting to
heed legitimate complaints. The
President of Poland promised
new freedom in "ever growing
measure" for all citizens.
Fill Prison Cells
Western travelers arriving
from Poland said the purge of
authorities who either support
ed the rebels in last week's up
rising or who failed to crack
down quickly enough had filled
prison cells.
They said security police made
wholesale arrests in a series of
raids on homes of suspect of
ficials. More arrests are being made
daily and as many as 3,000 per
sons, both rebels and . official
supporters, have been jailed,
they said.
The party backed up its ac
tions in an article in the official
Poznan party paper "Trybuna
Ludu." It charged party and
union bosses with "bureaucratic
irre0ularities," "confusion" and
"mistakes."
The paper accused local lead
ers of being responsible for the
uprising by failing to alleviate
poor conditions in the city.
"The workers had reasons for
bitterness," it said in an edit
orial believed to reflect the
opinion of a commission set up
to investigate the revolt.
Federal Judge Dies
Of
St. Louis U.R) Federal
Judge Rubey M. Hulen, who
presided at the recent trial of
Matthew J. Connelly and T. La
mar Caudle, died Saturday aft
er he was found in his yard with
a bullet wound in his head.
Hulen died in the operating
room at Barnes hospital where
he had been taken for surgery
in an attempt to save his life.
Police said he had not been able
to make a statement before his
death.
Clayton officers said they
were unable to determine
whether the shooting was acci
dental. They said he apparently
was shot by a bullet from his
own .32 caliber pistol which was
found at his feet.
St. Louis Coroner Patrick
Taylor said an inquest would be
held at 9:30 a.m. Monday to de
termine circumstances of death.
Hulen was scheduled to rule
on motions and sentence the
two high Truman administra
tion officials July 19. The two
were convicted last month of
charges of conspiring to defraud
the government in the handling
of a tax case.

Campaign Starts
For Vaccinations
With Salk Vaccine
A week-long campaign to en
courage vaccination with Salk
antipolio vaccine was inaugurat
ed today by the Jackson county
chapter of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis.
With the polio season in this
area approaching, a recipient of
the vaccine may receive consid
erably immunity,, it was pointed
out.
The vaccine is administered
in a series of three shots, the
first two spaced a month apart
and the third from seven months
to a year later. The eligible group
is from infancy to 19 years of age
and expectant mothers.
Supplies Sufficient
Vaccine supplies in the county
are now sufficient to give a pro
tective shot to all eligible per
sons, officials said.
Dr. A. E. Merkel, county
health officer and chairman of
the chapter's medical advisory
committee, estimated a little
more than half the eligible group
in the county have received
shots.
- A former theory that vaccine
should hot be administered dur:
ing hot weather or during the
polio season has been proven
false Tir. Merkel said.
Those eligible to receive the
trar.-;n are ureed to contact
family physicians.
Defeat Predicted
For Canyon Bill
Washington (U.R) A shift
of sentiment on the part ot two
southern Democratic senators re
garding a bill for a high dam in
Hells Canyon was reported here
Saturday and caused observers
to predict defeat for the Democrat-sponsored
measure if it is
brought to the Senate floor for a
vote.
Majority Leader Sen. Lyndon
Johnson of Texas was reported
trying to dissuage Sens. Wayne
Morse of Oregon and Warren
Magnuson of Washington from
bringing the bill to a record vote.
The measure, authorizing fed
eral construction of a high dam
in the Hells Canyon reach of
the Snake river on the Oregon
Idaho border, is scheduled to,be
called up July 17 with , a vote
about three days later.
The vote shift by Sens. Russell
of Georgia and Eastland of Mis
sissippi presumably would be
enoueh to defeat the bill since a
winning margin of two votes had
been predicted on the basis ot
un-official polbng.

Irrigation Districts
Schedule Field Trip
A field trip for users of water
in the Medford and Rogue River
Valley irrigation districts will be
held Saturday, July 14, accord
ing to Jack Hoffbuhr, secretary
manager of the Medford district.
The trip has been scheduled to
acquaint users with the upper
system structures which are
scheduled for replacement later
this year. Hoffbuhr said another
trip will be planned next season
to allow users to inspect new
structures for comparison.
Starting Time
The trip will start at 8:30 a.m.
and patrons participating will
meet at the intersection of Cra
ter Lake Highway and Antelope
rd. at Camp White.
Users on the field trip will con
voy by cars to Bradshaw Drop,
where water is divided between
the two districts, From there,
the group will go to Lake creek
for inspections of the proposed
Wyant Wash siphon, the existing
Lake creek flume and site of the
proposed replacement, the exist
ing South Fork flume and site of
the replacement, and the new
Culbertson flume, which is in op
eration for the first time this
season.
Coffee and sandwiches will be
served by the districts at noon,
Hoffbuhr said. '
Few Familiar
Hoffbuhr said the field trip
was planned because "only a
small percentage of the users are
familiar with the delivering sys
tem," and the districts "felt that
it will be be eficial to all, and
possibly develop closer harmony
between1 the districts and the
users."

United Not Told
TWA Plane Near
Collision Scene
CAB, CAA Officials
Questioned Saturday
Las Vegas flJ.R) A con
gressional inquiry was told Sat
urday that a United Airliner
never was notified of the proxi
mity of the TWA plane it pre
sumably collided with because
"air traffic control procedures do
not require it."
Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark:) said
the statement was made during
the closed session of his subcom
mittee which is investigating the
crash of the two airliners in.
Grand Canyon with history's
greatest con.mercial aviation
toll, 128 persons.
Andrews Testifies
The public morning session of
the day-long hearing brought tes
timony by William K. Andrews,
director of the CAB bureau of
safety, that in his opinion the
disaster was caused by a mid-air
collision. ,
He and other witnesses said
the TWA's Super-Constellation
was advised the UAL DC-7 was
uic vicuuiy, dui uaa com
munications did not notify either
the UAL pilot or his rnrlin
ground headquarters that the
TWA plane was due to fly over
virtually the same spot at the
same time last Saturday.
Andrews testified that while
the TWA liner was told by the
CAA control room that UAL
was flying st the 21,000-foot lev
el and UAL was indication of
.blame-one way or -the-other. -
"Both pilots, under CAB reg
ulations, had the responsibility of
looking out for their own safety
under the visual flying condi
tions existing out of air traffic
control channels at the time of
the crash."
One-Day Hearing
Harris wound up the one-day,
one-the-spot inquiry by the nine
man committee after 7V hours
of questioning more than a doz- -
eh witnesses from the CAB and
CAA.
' As the hearing was held, heli
copters and mountain climbers
worked to recover pieces of
bodies from the wreckage of the
two planes only a mile apart in
the Grand Canyon.
Only 12 bodies have been iden
tified. There was no indication
when the task of body-recovery
on the walls of the canyon,
would be completed. ,
