Government Ousts Russian Military Attache From U.S. Major Expelled for Improper Purchases New York (U.R) A Rus sian embassy military attache was ousted from the United States Saturday in the aftermath of the smashing of a Soviet spy ring here. Maj. Yuri P. Krylov was ex pelled for improperly purchas ing "quantities" of electronic equipment and trying to buy U.S. military secrets. He left with his wife and two small children aboard the French lin er Liberte. There were indications that U.S. government officials plan ned to implicate other Soviet officials in the spy ring, re garded by the FBI as the big gest such case since Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were execut ed in 1953 for wartime atomic espionage. Spreads to Canada The investigation of the al leged new spy ring spread to Canada, where authorities sought possible links with the three Lithuanian - born defen dants being held here in $100, 000 bail. Krylov's ouster was ordered last week as FBI agents closed in on Jack Soble, 53, his wife, Myra, 52, and Jacob Albam, 64, who were arrested in their homes here Friday. They were charged with conspiracy since 1947. U. S. Attorney Paul Williams said Soble had succeeded Soviet Embassy Second Secretary Vas sily M. Zubilin "as a dominant figure in the espionage ring after World War II." NKVD Head Zubilin, who returned to Mos cow in 1944, was identified by the FBI in 1953 as head of the NKVD in North America.

A Federal Grand Jury inves tigation of the Soble-Albam case was set for Monday, U. S. of ficials were expected to intro duce evidence implicating Sov iet officials and others believed to be involved in the alleged spy ring. There were reports that other arrests would be made.

Struble. have been retained by the Medford school board to work on preliminary plans for the two new schools proposed for construction. They were selected after dis cussions about possible plans, materials and designs. Leonard M a y f i e 1 d, superintendent of schools, said they will compile information regarding costs, al ternative plans and materials, and other data. They have been asked to work out the most eco nomical plans possible while maintaining acceptable school construction standards, May field reported. Edson has his own architec tural office, and Struble oper ates the Medford office of the James Paine architectural firm, Salem. School Needed The school board recently an nounced that the 1956 school census taken last October in dicates the need for a least one and probably two new schools in east Medford. Mayfield said the census has disclosed there was an unpredictable increase in school-age population due to immigration during ' the past year. If the schools are to be built, a bond issue will have to be approved by the voters of the district, and Mayfield said the work of the architects will be valuable in preparing plans and cost estimates for the informa tion of the voters. The board is continuing its study of the census results, and the impact they will have on the school system. Three Drown When Boat Capsizes in Napa River Vallcjo, Calif.

Thompson, 209 Fluhrer build ing; Ray Johnson, 117 Vernada place; and Clifford Ouellette, 1532 Terrace drive. Don Carlon is chairman of the DSA committee. New secretary of Slate Mark Hatfield, speaker at the banquet, said there are three institutions in this country making these awards possible. Prevailing Factor Referring to the six finalists, Hatfield said the prevailing fac tor in their distinction is that they were born in a country with a free public school system. Oregon has one of the finest educational systems in the coun try, he said. The secretary of state pointed out that Oregon has the highest starting mini mum wage in the country for a teacher with a BA and the sec ond highest starting wage for a teacher with an MA. The second institution is "our democratic way of life," often known as the "great American experiment," Hatfield said. He added "we are living in such a pragmatic age, people oflen con sider democracy only from a theoretical or mechanical view." Rehabilitation Hope "We must have a heart-feeling as well as an intellectual under standing of democracy," he said. Because of the enlightenment of democracy, Hatfield added, there is hope of rehabilitation for the criminally and mentally ill. According to Hatfield the third and most important institution in America is its freedom to be lieve in God. Service to man must be rooted by a love in God, he said. Hatfield said Oregon reflects this wisdom by being a leader in the nation with laws encouraging equal opportunity for employ ment, civil rights and de-segregation. Robert Boyer was master of ceremonies at the banquet. Weather FORECAST: Low cloudines. clearing early this morning, be cominc fair thii afternoon and tonight.
