Molofov Named
Soviet Minister
London (U.PJ Former For
eign Minister V. M. Molotov,- an
Old-line Stalinist, was appointed
suddenly tonight to the post of
Soviet minister of state control,
the Cabinet job responsible for
enforcing government policy.
Molotov had been a first dep
uty premier without specific as
signment since he resigned from
the foreign" ministry earlier this
year in an apparent concession
to the anti-Stalinists. Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai Bulganin and Com
munist party boss Nikita Khru
shchev are leaders of this fac
tion inside the Kremlin.
Molotov's new appointment
followed authoritative reports
of a new struggle in the Moscow
hierarchy between the old-line
Stalinists and the new faction
led by Khrushchev.
Molotov's new post had been
a practically unknown technical
assignment until he was assign
ed to it today. The brief Radio
Moscow announcement of the
appointment gave no hint of its
significance.

Ceremony Welcomes
Homeless People
McGuire AFB, N.J. (U.P.)
Sixty refugees from Communist
tyranny in Hungary, some of
them in tears of thanksgiving.
stepped onto free American soil.
today. They were the vanguard
of a flood of homeless Hungar
ians. Many of the refugees wept as
a color guard held the Ameri
can flag high into the stiff wind
that swept across this airfield
where their mercy plane set
down.
Army Secretary Wilber M.
Brucker brought the personal
greetings of President Eisen
hower to the first of an expected
5.000 Hungarian refugees in a
plane-side ceremony.
Applaud U.S. Flag
"I show you the flag of the
United States and ask you, for
the first time on free soil, to
applaud the flag of our country
your first act here," Brucker
said.
The refugees, standing before
the speaker's platform, applaud
ed vigorously.
"I saw one of you wipe a tear
from your eye," Brucker said.
"I want you to know you now
have freedom. Here there is
freedom of speech, religion, and
from every sort of threat that
anybody could worry about. You
are safe, and we will protect
you.
"In behalf of the President of
the United States and of your
hosts, the U. S. Army, I greet
you, patriots of Hungary I sa
lute you as residents and, I hope,
as future citizens."
Turkey Thanksgiving
The group, flown here from
Vienna and Munich by a char
tered Flying Tiger plane which
was the first of a projected two
a day airlift, appeared tired but
happy. Several of the women
brushed tears from their eyes
during the ceremony. An Army
band played Hungarian music.
The refugees later boarded
buses on their way to Camp Kil
mer, N. J., where the Army will
house and feed them, including
a turkey dinner on Thanksgiv
ing, until they can be absorbed
into American community life.
Idaho Student
Held for Arson
Moscow, Ida. (U.P.) Six state
policemen stood guard today
around the Latah county jail as
"protection" for a University of
Idaho freshman arrested in an
investigation of four dormitory
fires that killed three men stu
dents. The suspect was Paul Davis
Matovich, Kellogg, Ida.
He was accused only of set
ting a fire at Chrisman Hall, one
of three blazes that preceded the
fatal blaze at Gault Hall Oct. 19.
It was in the Gault blaze that the
three students perished.
Law officers refused to say
whether Matovich admitted set
ting the Gault blaze. They said
they had their "reasons" for
charging him only with the
Chrisman Hall fire.
Lloyd Martinson, Latah county
prosecutor, said Matovich admit
ted only the Oct. 13 blaze at
Chrisman hall which caused
minor damage.

Pacific railroad wreckers last
night cleared the east-west main
line tracks of debris which
blocked the route after 11 cars
of a 98-car freight train were
derailed just west of Kimama
Tuesday.
Hearings
install a sanitary sewer there
as part of the program approved
by Medford voters Nov. 6.
Council action followed re
quests from the Earharts stipu
lating conditions to which the
city would have to agree before
they would grant an easement.
The city has been negotiating
with the Earharts for the past
18 months for the easement.
City Manager Robert Duff said
condemnation would be advis
able because of the "tentative
nature" of the Earhart's condi
tions and the delay in time that
would be necessary in complet
ing a formal agreement with the
Earharts.
City Attorney E. R. Bashaw
and Duff were authorized to pre
pare an ordinance and negotiate
with Rogue Flying service on a
request that airport property
be leased to the service to erect
a building- to service private
planes.

Elizabeth Martin came here
from Great Britain, and the oth

O. H. Bengtson, Medford
at-

of
several beverage licensees.
Bengtson asked the council what
its attitude would be toward re
newing beverage permits of ex
piring licenses if the licensee
had not yet paid the city tax.
The council said it would con
sider the matter at its Dec. 4
meeting and that it could not
commit itself at this time.
The council for the second
consecutive meeting continued a
public hearing on annexation of
the First Free Methodist church
property on South Peach st. The
hearing was continued because
the church still has not secured
an easement through certain
property in order to connect
with the city sewer system,
which is the purpose of church's
position to annex.

Clifford Ouellette, Medford
attorney, delivered a short ad
dress on behalf of the Medford
Elks lodge. The lawyer said that
this country's form of govern
ment, with its systems of checks
and balances, isone of the best
yet devised to protect the citi
zen, v ', -
He said that the nation's laws
reflect its moral standards, and
that while our elected represen
tatives draft the laws and put
them into effect, it is in reality
the citizens themselves who
make the country's laws. He said
this nation's laws make it pos
sible for millions of people to
live peacefully together.
Council Plans to
Intervene in Case
The Medford city council last
night joined the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce and the
Jackson county court in filing a
petition to intervene in a Civil
Aeronautics board hearing on
additional air service in south
ern Oregon.
The CAB hearing is tentative
ly scheduled March 5, 1957. The
chamber is preparing an appeal
to the board that the hearing be
held in Portland, according to
Don McNeil, chamber manager.
Purpose of the hearing is that
air routes be added from Klam
ath Falls to Boise, Ida., by way
of Lakeview and Burns, and to
Reno and Winnemucca, Nev.
Medford already has air service
to Klamath Falls which would
connect with the proposed
routes.
The council action authorized
the chamber to prepare a brief
on behalf of the city to urge the
added air service. The chamber
is also representing the Jackson
and Josephine county courts in
the brief. It will be submitted to
the CAB in December, McNeil
said.
Harold Frye Presides

Harold Frye. elected president
of the Medford city council at

the council last night in the ab
sence of Mayor Earl Miller.

Snider, ward I councilman, and
elected new mayor, Nov. 6, of
fered his resignation as council
president.
Snider resigned as president
and recommended Frye for the
position as a gesture to Frye who
retires from the council this year
after serving 16 years, which
probably constitutes a record.

Union Receives
Go-Ahead; Group
Voices Protes
Port Said, Egypt (U.PJ A
noisy protest demonstration met
the first small group of the VM.
Emergency Force which arrived
(-today to act as a peace buffer
between occupying Anglo
t'rench troops and the Egyptian
population.
The UMEF contingent, a to
ken company of 216 Norwegian
soldiers, was met by a shouting
mob of angry Egyptians when
the troops reached Port Said by
slow train from the south.
Hundreds of screaming Egypt
ians massed in the center of the
city demonstrating agamst the
arrival of new "occupiers."
"Nasser . . . Nasser . . . Nas
ser," the demonstrators shouted.
Break Through Line
, The crowd broke through a
line of Port Said policemen
guarding the local railroad sta
tion where the Norwegians ar
rived from the UNEF assembly
base at Abu Sweir in Egyptian
held territory.
Lt. Gen. Hugh Stockwell,
commander of Anglo-French
forces, was in personal charge
of troops on the scene. He
shoved his way through the
crowd and ordered British sol
diers to furm-a-svlid front. The
Tommies formed up and bodily
shoved the demonstrators out of
the way.
Then the Norwegian Infantry
company marched in formation
to its camp site, the men carry
ing American rifles, machine
guns and anti-tank weapons.
The reception accorded the
UNEF force in Port Said was
in contrast to the cheers of
Egyptians when the men left
their Abu Sweir base earlier in
the day.
Ultimately, the UNEF troops
will replace the Anglo-French
forces under the terms of U.N.
General Assembly resolutions.
When that will be is still indef
inite. But the Egyptians want
the British and French to with
draw immediately, and the
crowd demonstration under
scored that view.
