Parachute Jumps For Smokejumpers To Start Thursday Cave Junction First train ing parachute jumps for smoke jumpers at the Siskiyou Aerial project will be Thursday and Friday of this week about 8 a.m. at Seat's field near the Redwood highway. A total of 13 returnees will start their week's refresher course June 6 and 7, and will be ready for fire calls by June 17. Thirty new men and four more experienced men will check in at the project. Then, first call of the season came last week from Six Rivers National Forest, but no jumpers were av ailable from this district. New Project The new aerial project at Red ding will draw three local smokejumpers as squadleaders , for the 24 men who will be sta tioned there under Fred Bar nowsky, foreman. Phil Clark will leave for Redding June 14, ; and Orville Looper will move to his new location July 17. j Both have been year around 1 squad leaders here for several years. Warren Webb, a summer i man. will also go to Redding as ! the third leader. Training Plans All of the Redding crew, in cluding Barnowsky, who is now at the Siskiyou aerial project, will receive specialized smoke jumper training here. Accordi ng to James Allen, foreman of the local project, 53 men will j be trained at the Illinois Val ley airport, but only 28 will re main here as the Siskiyou dis trict summer crew. j From June 17, when the new men start to arrive, until late j July, practice jumps from the new steel tower and training jumps from the U. S. Forest ser vice plane, piloted by Ed Scholtz will go on almost continuously. Meanwhile the previously train ed men will be on call for fire 1 duty in remote areas that can only be reached by jumpers. Investigations were ordered in both House and Senate. A two man Senate armed services sub committee called defense offi cials to explain behind closed doors today. Sen. Ralph E. Flan ders (R-Vt.). one of the members, called the Girard decision "out rageous." He told a reporter a very serious error" was made in the Pentagon "and we want to see who actually made it." Earlier Decision Confirmed The announcement of the final U. S. decision said an earlier agreement to turn Girard over to Japan had been "authorized" and this country could not re voke its agreement now. It did not say who authorized the ear lier move. Military officials pointed out that under Girard's indictment by the Japanese for causing death by wounding the most lenient homicide charge in the Japanese criminal code Girard would be liable to a sentence of 2-15 years in prison. They said a U. S. court-martial sentence would be three years. They were not clear whether this would be the mini mum sentence that could be im posed, and indicated the possible penally might be higher. Vehicle Travel In Oregon Declines Salem W A li per cent travel so far this year was re ported today by the Oregon Traffic Safety commission. Latest month to show a drop was April when travel fell off about 12 million miles from that recorded for April a year ago. So far this year, January has been the only month to show an increase in total motor veh icle mileage. The rather low travel figure for April of 589,990,150 miles was matched by a drop in traf fic deaths with 31 reported for that month. The state's death rate was 5.3 persons killed in each 100 million miles of travel. This compared with a 6.5 death rate for April in 1956.
