Bewildered Deer Wanders
Into Medford
A bewildered little deer a
spiked buck wandered into
town yesterday, and paid with
his life for his unfamiliarity
with the ways of man.
He was spotted on Park St.,
and Medford police officers were
called. They managed to "cor
ral" him in a garage at 901 Park
st., planned to tie him, then re
lease him in 9 less populated en
vironment. Where he came from
is not known, although he could
have arrived from the Griffin
creek area southwest of town.
The panicky deer, however,
jumped through the window of
the garage, breaking the glass,
and cutting himself badly in the
process. He dashed down the

children who had gathered to
watch.
Teamsters May
Have New Thought
About Objections
Washington (U.R) Teamsters
Union leaders indicated today
they may have a second thought
about their objections to AFL
CIO action against the union and
teamsters President Dave Beck,
Beck and five vice presidents
decided late Monday to call the
union's 13 -member Executive
Board to a meeting here "within
a week or 10 days." .
The decision was made at a'
four-hour meeting at which they
discussed AFL-CIO President
George Meany's rebuff of the
objections raised by the team
sters Executive Board in mid
April. Charge Rejected
Meany Monday:
Again rejected the charge
that the March 29 suspension of
Beck as an AFL-CIO vice presi
dent was unconstitutional.
Declared the AFL-CIO in
vestigation of the union on cor
ruption charges will proceed
whether or not the union attends
a hearing to be held next Mon
day. The charges are based on
Beck's use of the Fifth Amend
ment to avoid answering Senate
Rackets Committee accusations
that he took $320,000 in union
funds for his personal use and
on his own admission that he
"borrowed" between $300,000
and $400,000 of union money
without interest.

"new and improved'' Aerobee
Hi rocket set a new altitude
record for a single stage missile
today when it soared aloft "at
least" 180 miles. .
Hie Aerobee, carrying special
instruments which "could be
used in. later stage earth satel
lites, sped into the upper alti
tude at speeds between 4,500
and 4,900 miles per hour. .
The Navy, which fired the
missile, said radar contact was
lost at 180 miles and that the
rocket may have climbed "as
high as 200 miles."
Navy scientists were figuring
the exact altitude. But the Aero-bee-Hi
smashed the old altitude
record of 164 miles set last sum-i
mer by another Aerobee.
Navy officials- said the rocket
fired today was a "new and im
proved" version of the Aerobee
which held the record for more
than a year.
