beat the bad guys.
Aparently George Edward
Collins Jr., 20, hasn't been keep
ing up with the latest "tube
techniques" but eight-year-old
Lee Crary has. And the young
ster has put his man behind bars
with a belt-chewing trick learn
ed from his hero Wild Bill
Hickok.

Crash Victims Flown
To San Francisco
Two seriously injured acci
dent victims were flown from
Montague, Calif., to San Fran
cisco by a Medford Mercy
Flights, Inc., air ambulance
plane Friday night.
The plane left here about 9:30
p.m., but because of delays due
to bad weather, did not com
plete the mission until about 6
a.m. Saturday.
The plane could not land at
Mott field near Dunsmuir, so
the victims, who had been at Mt.
Shasta General hospital, had to
be brought by ground ambul
ance to Montague field. A man
and" woman, they both received
serious head injuries with pos
sible brain damage in separate
accidents about a half-mile apart
the same night south of Duns
muir.
They were Robert Thompson,
26, San Jose, whose father was
killed in the same head-on col
lision with a truck Thursday
night, and Mrs. Blanche T. Web
ster, Pasadena, whose husband
suffered a broken leg in the
same accident. Both were taken
to Stanford Lane hospital in
San Francisco for brain surgery
They were the 715th and
716th patients to be carried by
the air ambulance planes of the
non-rjrofit organization in its
7 years of service.

Cross also provides information
on emergency leaves or how to
contact a serviceman in an
emergency.
Referral Service
Another service provided by
the Red Cross is referral serv
ice. This is to acquaint service
men and their families with
services available by other coun
ty agencies. Most of this work
is done through an inter-agency
council.
This council serves as a clear
ing house for the mutual prob
lems confronting people and
agencies who are called upon
for help. The council also elim
inates duplication of assistance
and speeds help. The applicant
for help is always guided to
the agency which is best suited
to meet his needs.
The need for emergency funds
by servicemen and their fam
ilies is met by the Red Cross.
Whenever a family emereencv
arises the Red Cross will help
out until personal funds are
available.
Basis of Need
Assistance is given on a basis
of need. In includes food, shelter,
fuel, clothing, household utilities
and incidental medical supplies.
Such assistance is given pend
ing the receipt, of the family's
government allowances check
which has been delayed. The
council upon examination, will
decide if the assistance will be
a loan or grant.
During the past year in Jack
son county more than 1.200 serv
icemen or their families have
been given such aid. The Red
Cross said that while a maioritv
asked for the aid on a loan basis,
more than 90 per cent were giv
en as grants.
The Red Cross pointed out
that although many welfare re
sponsibilities have been assumed
by the Federal government, the
field of personal community re
sponsibilities must not be sur
rendered. ,
Trick Helps
Ed Crary of Edmonds, Wash.
Monday and held him captive
until the lad got away Friday
morning.
Collins had tied the youngster
to a tree with his belt. But, as
Lee described it, "I remembered
how Wild Bill Hickok got loose
on TV when he was tied up
like that. So I worked my wrists
loose and reached around with
my teeth until I got that bar in
the buckle to drop loose."
Lee, who had been the object
of a search involving blood
hounds, a helicopter and more
than 600 -volunteers, then made
his way to a road where he was
found by a passing motorist who
notified authorities. The boy was
unharmed.
Collins and his wife, parents
of a six-month-old child, refus
ed the right of counsel at the
arraignment, but the court ap
pointed an attorney for each.
Signed Statement
The woman , signed a state
ment involving herself in the
abduction plot. Her story that
it had been planned for two
months, however, contradicted
Collins signed account in which
he said it was a "spur-of- the
moment deal."
Collins, a riveter, was ar
rested at the Everett home of
his father by the FBI after the
Crarys received a note demand
ing 510,000 ransom for the
boy. The. FBI would not tell how
they traced Collins, but Lee's
mother said her son had noted
the license plates on the kidnap
car. A crude kidnap plan was
found in the man's wallet.

Problems Faced
In Tribal Lands
Washington (IPI Secretary
of the Interior Fred A. Seaton,
commenting on S.2047 a bill that
provides for federal acquisition
of all Klamath tribal lands, said
Saturday that conservation of
timber resources on the Klamath
Indian reservation of south cen
tral Oregon is "of primary im
portance to the economy of the
area and to the welfare of the
public generally.
In a letter to Sen. Richard
Neuberger (D-Ore.), Sept. 26,
Seaton said "The two problems
confronting both the federal gov
ernment and the state of Ore
gon are protecting the property
rights of the Klamath Indians
on the one hand, and providing
for the sustained yield management-
of an important natural re
source area on. the other.
Neaiberger is chairman of the
Indian Affairs subcommittee of
the Senate committee on Inter
ior and Insular affairs.
The Secretary emphasized the
manner in which the Klamath
forest is managed will have "a
vital impact on the life and ec
onomy of the - entire Klamath
river basin."
He said the Interior depart
ment would submit a report and
recommendations on bill S.2047
early in the next congressional
session.

Unit Packs Wallop
With 75 Warheads
By DONALD R. SHANOR
United Press Staff Correspondent
Hahn Air Base, Germany (IP)
A U.S. Air Force unit stands
on 24-hour alert here, ready to
hurl as many as 75 nuclear war
heads of Hiroshima power
against an advancing Soviet
army.
The 701st has been quietly
building up this capability over
the past two and a half years. It
now has three squadrons of Mat
adors, a highly-trained force of
electronic warriors, and the
equpiment to scatter its forces
to survive attack and launch re
taliating blows.
. "Today the-Wing . . .is an im
pressive atomic strike force that
is not duplicated anywhere else
in the Air Force," an Air Force
fact sheet said. Air Force spokes
men refused to confirm whether
atomic warheads are at present
stored in Germany.
Model "T" Missile
The Matador is a model "T"
missile compared to the inter
continental rocket .the Soviets
claim to have perfected, and the
Titan and 'Atlas ICBM's being
tested by the U.S. Rockets of
this type can be fired 600 miles
above the earth's surface and
have speeds up to 15,000 mph.
The Matador with its 650 mph
speed, its 35,000-foot operation
al altitude, and its range of about
650 miles, is not intended to be
in the same class as the ICBM's.
The Matador's chief technical
advantage is that it can be
launched from a simple platform
mounted on the back of a truck
an'd can be moved rapidly to es
cape attack.
The advantage that outweighs
all the features of the ICBM's
however, is the fact that the Mat
ador is on the firing line now, 15
minutes from Communist terri
tory, not on a test range or draw
ing board.

dors stationed here and at near
