ported in satisfactory but criti
cal condition Saturday morning
following an operation in which
skin from a 3-year-old Christmas
traffic victim was transferred to
cover burns over a large part
of her body.
A team of surgeons worked for
five hours Friday transferring
skin from the body of 3-year-old
Gilbert Case III, Chicago, to the
little girl who has hovered on
the brink of death since Nov.
27.
The drastic operation provid
ed a temporary biological cover
ing for the little girl who was
burned from her chin to her
knees after her dress caught fire
when she reached for a box of
crackers on a gas stove.
The skin from the dead boy
now covers 90 per cent of the
burned area and surgeons said
Cindy had a fighting chance to
live.
The skin was a bitter Christ
mas gift from Gilbert's parents.
On Christmas Eve, Mr. and Mrs.
Gilbert Cae were taking four
of their five children to a Chi
cago department store to see
Santa Claus.
A car swerved out of a line of
traffic and hit them headon. Gil
bert and his parent; were in

over 24 hours later.

Washington U.R) The Air

plete the air lift of some 9,700
Hungarian refugees to the
United States on New Year's
Day with the arrival of a Mili
tary Air Transport Service plane
at McGuire Air Force Base in
New Jersey.
Another 5.100 refugees will
arrive in the United States by
naval transports during Janu

Transport Service ships are now
at sea with 3.400 refugees
aboard. The first of the trans
ports, the USNS Leroy Eltinge
is scheduled to arrive in Brook
lyn Monday with 1,747 refugees.
With the completion of the air
and sea lifts, "Project Safe Hav
en" ordered by President Eisen
hower will come to a close. The
Defense Department said, how
ever, it will make available
further air and sea lifts in event
it is decided to admit additional
Hungarian refugees to the Unit

MATS planes made 110 trans
Atlantic flights with more than
6.000 refugees. Commercial
transports, under contract to the
military, made 46 flights carry
ing 3,341 refugees.
The government took two ad
ditional steps last night to aid
the Hungarian refugees.
It ordered local public hous
ing officials "do to whatever
their local situations permit" to
house refugees in 16,000 vacant
public housing units. It also di
rected that nearly S2 million
worth of excess military cloth
ing, bedding and similar equin

Miller Lists Several
Suggestions for New
Mayor, City
Outgoing Mayor Earl Miller
has listed several suggestions to
the new mayor and city council
on problems and proposed proj
ects that will face the new ad
ministration during its term in
office.
"I believe," Mayor Miller said
"the traffic situation is Med
ford's number one problem."
The 10-year capital improve
ment plan, approved by city vot
ers at the recent election, should
be carefully analyzed and car
ried out on schedule with prior
ity on certain arterial streets,"
he said.
The mayor added the plan for
storm and sanitary sewers
should be given equal attention
on the same priority basis and
carried out on schedule.

council to retain the present
council policy in regard to wa-
! Bremerton Man Hurt
In Highway 99 Crash
Clifford Charles Sallee, 22, of
Eremerton. Wash., suffered a
bruised collar bone Saturday
morning when the car he was
operating was involved in an
accident with two other vehicles
on the Tolo overpass, Highway
99, about three miles north of
Central Point, according to state
police.
He was taken to Rogue Val
ley hospital by private car, po
lice said, where hospital attend
ants said his condition was not
serious. He was released later
Saturday.
Also involved in the crash
were cars operated by Clarence
Arthur Hundeby, 58, Portland,
and Norman Rodrick Jones, 21,
Riddle, Ore. Jones suffered face
abrasions, it was reported, but
did not need hospital treatment
The accident occurred when
the Hundeby car went out of
control on icy pavement, and
the other cars struck it, police
said.
Pineau Stresses
Importance of Unity
Paris U.R) French For
eign Minister Christian Pineau
summed up the results of his
policy in a "year end" address
over French National Radio
system Friday night and stressed
the importance of greater West
ern European unity. .
He also attacked the role of
Egyptian President Gamal Ab
dcl Nasser and again expressed
French regret that the United
Nations saw fit to act in the
Suez dispute in a manner differ
ent from that in Hungary.
Pineau said the summing up
could be divided into four
policy sections: North Africa,
Middle East, Hungary and the
building of unity in Western
Europe."
Concerning North Africa,
Pineau said "in 1956 France
gave independence to Tunisia
and Morocco, demonstrating the
falseness of the accusations of
colonialism by countries which
could learn from us lessons in
Democracy and social progress."
At the same time, he went on,
France is fighting in Algeria to
"reestablish order and permit
reforms to be put into operation
which are awaited by the Mos
lem population."

ter and sanitary districts outside
Medford limits. The city should
not annex areas where those
facilities have already been pro
vided, he said, unless the dist
ricts are dissolved upon annexa
tion.
Miller also proposed that the
new mayor and council oppose
one of the recent findings and
recommendations of the legisla
tive interim committee on local
government.
The 'committee recommended
to the state legislature they pass
legislation permitting county
courts to establish service dist
ricts. Miller said this, in his op
inion, would retard the growth
of any cit; where a service dist
rict was allowed in an area that
in the future might be contigu
ous to the city.
Airport Zoning
He stated the proposed airport
zoning regulations should be ad
opted "soon in order that Med
ford's most important transpor
tation facility will be protected
from hazards. Parking facilit
ies at the airport should be im
proved, he added, and the ter
minal should be landscaped.
As Med ford's population
growth has brought a shortage
in recreational facilities for chil
dren, according to Miller, Med
ford should be surveyed in order
that plans for additional play
grounds can be formulated.
The city should give more
study to the "acute" parking sit
uation in downtown Medford so
that a solution will be found for
improvement, Miller said.
He cautioned the new mayor
and council not to adopt a pol
icy that would hinder Medford's
growth, and to be conscious of
local developments that could
strengthen Medford's economic
balance.

No Negligence Found
in Fire Fighters
Washington U.R. forest
Service investigators have found
no evidence of negligence on the
part of individuals who fought
the Nov. 25 fire in the Cleveland
National Forest in California.
Forest Service Chief Richard
E. McArdle said Friday a top
investigating team was unable
to determine the precise reason
why the fire started its flash run
up the side of the San Diego
River canyon.
The service speculated that
unburned gases, trapped in the
chimney-like ravine, suddenly
ignited. In the flash fire, 11 of
18 firefighters were trapped and
killed.
McArdle said the firefighters
were all experienced men, "yet
something happened here an
happened in a few minutes0that
caused the fire unexpectedly to
blow up."
Rep. Clair Engle (D-Calif.)
said the incident indicates "the
Forest Service doesn't know its
business as a fire fighting orgagi
zation." He said he will order a
congressional investigation of
the Forest Service's handling of
this and more recent California
fires.
