(U.R) Coach Pete Newell of California had plenty of news today for the Bears' basketball faithful all of it bad. The folksy coach disclosed that guard Bernie Simpson would not make the trip to Corvallis for this week end's tough series against Oregon State because he is suffering from a knee injury. And if that wasn't enough, New ell added that forward Don Mc intosh, hobbling on a bad ankle. may not go north either. 'Ankle conditions are strange," Newell conceded be fore Tuesday's transplanted ses sion of the Northern California Basketball Writers association. And they sometimes come around quickly. If so, it is pos sible Mcintosh could make the trip. But honestly, we are just hoping that both boys will be ready for the Idaho series next week." MRS.

Coach Babe Brown said yes terday that Jenkins apparently won't be eligible for second semester competition. He said a transcript received from West Virginia Institute, where Jen kins attended classes for awhile, indicated his grades were not high enough to allow him to play. Burns Said Cause Of Plane Deaths New York U.R) The twenty passengers killed in the crash of a Northeast Airlines plane Fri day died of burns and not from injuries received in the crash, a medical report showed Tuesday. Dr. Milton Helpern, chief city medical examiner, Said "not one died of injuries from the impact of the crash." He said if there hadn't been a fire not a single death would have occurred." Helpern said after autopsies performed on all the victims that fire generating carbon mon oxide, rendered the passengers unconscious and they were un able to escape the flames. Nearly all the 81 survivors were injured and most suffered burns when the DC6A cracked up on Rikers Island minutes aft er it took off from LaGuardia Airport in a snowstorm. Teams of Civil Aeronautics board experts continued to examine wreckage and gather information for a public hearing on the disaster to be held in two or three weeks.

Oscar Baake, director of the CAB'S Bureau of Safety, testi fied about the collision before the House Commerce committee. He did not say immediately whether the crash, after which the big ship fell into a school yard at Pacoima, was considered to have taken place in such a As a result of the accident, in which three children and five adults perished, the CAB Tues day issued new regulations under which all military and civilian flight tests after Feb. 19 must be made over water or sparsely settled areas approved by the government. Policy Already Established But Bakke said it already was firmly established policy that flight tests must not be con ducted in areas where the popu lace might be imperiled. In last week's California crash both the DC7B, a new plane being tested prior to de livery to an airline, and the F89 jet fighter with which it collided at 26,000 feet were conducting flight test operations. Bakke said the exact limita tions under which the F89 was flying have not yet been deter mined. At the time of the crash it was in the midst of a maneu ver with another jet conducted, Bakke said, with "an unusually high order of precision." As for the big new Douglas airliner, he said it was operat ing under a special permit for tests leading to award of the customary certificate of air worthiness, prior to delivery' to a purchaser. This permit, he said, "clearly states that the flight of the air craft . . . shall not be carried out over congested areas or areas ot high trattic density. except while landing or taking off. Bakke was not asked immedi ately, and did not volunteer, whether the area of the crash was in the prohibited category. City Limits Poses Problem for Officials Roxboro, N. C. (U.R) A re cent extension of the city limits here has motorists, the city fathers and police confused, to say the least. The extension took one half of Highway 57 into the city while the other sideof the road is still in the county. Motorists . entering Roxboro must observe a 35 mile per hour speed limit while those leaving town can travel 55 miles per hour. Then there is the matter of jurisdiction. The state Highway Patrol handles the northbound lane while city police look after the south-bound lane on the half rfiile stretch. Something will have to be worked out," said City Manager W. F. Timberlake. YOUR TIRES or exchange your smooth tires for our Recapped Tires. Only perfect tires recapped. All work done in your own Medford plant. First grade rubber.

He testified in detail about the radar-testing maneuvers con ducted by the F89 and a sister plane just prior to the collision. The jet involved in the colli sion was just completing a 90 degree left turn when it struck the left wing of the liner, strip ping off about seven feet of the wing 'tip and aileron, Bakke said. The crash was almost head on, he said, at a combined au j speed of about 782 miles an hour, Grants Pass Youth Among Finalists In Science Search Washington U.R) Two Ore gon youths were among 40 final ists today in the 16th annual science talent search conducted by the Science Clubs of America. They were awarded all expense trips to Washington where they will compete in the five-day science talent institute beginning March 7. The Oregon winners were Willis Willard Balderree Jr., 17, of Grants Pass, and Marjorie Kay Simiia, 18, Salem. Seeks Chemistry Degree Balderree will graduate at the top of his class from Grants Pass High school in May and plans to get a doctor's degree in chem istry from Stanford University. In his search project, the young chemist did research on the synthesis of coordination com pounds of cobalt with examples of inorganic isomerism and the stabilization of unusual valence states. Miss Simiia, who gradutes from North Salem High school In June, plans to study chemistry and music writing at Oregon State College. Her analyses and comparisons of commercial detergents, soaps, shampoos and dentifrices won her a position among the finalists. Northeast Oregon Land Urged for Recreation Pendleton U.R) J. Herbert Stone, regional forester,, yester-! day recommended that 99,000 i acres of land in northeast Ore gon be developed for game hunt ing, fishing and recreational purposes. Stone said an analysis recent ly completed in the area shows it should be managed for multi purpose use. The area he recom mended for the change is located between the Tucannon and We naha rivers about 50 miles north of Wallowa. The average output per U.S. farm worker in 1945 was 22 per cent over 1939.
