FOURTEEH MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE San Francisco Police Continue To Search For Hit-Run Driver San Francisco -U.P. Police pressing a relentless search for a brutal hit-run driver today urged owners of 1952-53 Mer curys to bring them to the near est police station for "clear ance." "The quicker we can scratch off those not involved, the sooner we can narrow the field rfown to the one guilty driver," said Lt. Edward Moody, head of the Accident Investigation Bureau. Notes of Clearance "Owners who bring in their cars for checking will be given notes of clearance so they will no longer be bothered." Witnesses to the hit-run slay ing of Lloyd V. Stephens, 68, last Sunday night believed the death car was an ivory Mercury 1952 or 1953 vintage. There are 2960 such cars in San Francisco. Stephens was returning home from a baseball game when the car hit him, knocking him un der the wheels. He got en meshed in the undercarriage. Instead of stopping, the driver tromped on the accelerator and began swerving in a frantic at tempt to dislodge Stephens. When this failed, he began speeding and then jamming on the brakes. He did this for three blocks. At last, Stephens fell to the street, dead. Every bone in his body was broken, and his skull fractured. There was a flurry of excite ment in San Francisco and Oak land last night when police in each city checked out light col ored cars that could have been the death car. Both had been washed or newly painted. However, the results were "negative," and police returned Saturday Night! APRIL OB LIMY and the COUNTRY BOYS 4 Solid Hours of Good Western Dance Music!

Spraying for Worms May Start May 15 Spraying for control of worms in apple and peach trees should start about May 15, according to C. B. Cordy, county horticul ture agent. Cordy said it is useless to spray for worm control right now. However, coddling moths will soon begin laying eggs in the trees and the eggs will de velop into worms if allowed to live. Cordy said the moths lay eggs when the temperature is 60 degrees a half hour after sundown. The first eggs require about three weeks to hatch. Less time is required when the tem perature is higher. For worm control, Cordy rec ommended Vt pound 50 per cent DDT in 5 to 7 gallons of water, or as much water as is necessary for thorough distribution over the tree. This aDDlication should ! be made once every three weeks until early August. LIKES BEING SHOT San Jose, Calif.

Moscow Radio said in a Span ish language broadcast monitor ed here that Spain would be subject to possible Soviet nu clear attack if it joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The Madrid government thus became the latest target of an intense propaganda barrage that has leveled direct threats at more -than a dozen Western or pro-Western countries in the last two weeks. Each of the warnings has had the same theme "If your coun try is used to launch nuclear weapons or guided missiles against Russia in a future war, you will be wiped out by Soviet nuclear counterattack. Reports have been current in Europe for several weeks that Spain shortly will be asked to join NATO. Western Germany particularly is promoting this.

DINING OUT IS FUN for the whole family! Around Hollywood Hollywood The little kids in Wyatt Earp hats who hang around the television sets to i see their hero will be sur prised Hugh O'Brian will be doing rock 'a' roll and ca lypso in white tie and tails. Hugh is g u e s ting on Dinah Shore's Aline Mnsby NBC-TV show tonight. The actor, who eagerly acts as his own publicity man, is so excited about his switch from a sagebrush hero to song- and dance man that he tele phoned me to "plant" a story about the show. As Hugh points out, most stars of TV series are devoured by the character they play, but he's blossomed out all over the dial, first as a dramatic character on "Playhouse 90" and now as a hoofer and crooner. Tours Recalled "It started with my personal appearance tours when I did a western song and dance. You just can't appear, you have to entertain," he explained. "Ed Sullivan asked me to do my act on his show. Sullivan got more fan mail from that show than any other. Then I sub stituted for Jackie Gleason and danced an adagio and did a clown routine. His rating doubled. "If I had just appeared, and not entertained, on those shows, being on Dinah's show wouldn't be such a thing, but people are wondering, 'Now what is that guy going to do next?' " Hugh paused to catch his breath and continued with enth usiasm, "I'll do a soft shoe, rock 'n' roll and calypso. The reaction from fans has been great. They are very surprised to see my versatility."
