Russian Reports Supports Theory Claim of High Test Draws Attention Washington (IP) The Rus sians may have test fired an intercontinental ballistic missile with an H-bomb warhead. Some observers here believe this is more than just a possi bility. AEC verification that the So viets were testing megaton range bombs in the arctic, plus By UNITED PRESS The nose of lhe rocket that fired Russia's Sputnik into space was sighted officially for lhe first time in the United States today. But the satellite itself has not been seen as yet by American official ob servers. A Soviet weapons expert and scientist. Lt. Gen. Anatoly A. Blagonravov. 63. told news men at the United Nations, meanwhile, that he believes -Russia will be able to land a rocket on lhe moon before he dies. He did not say if it would be manned. But he also said Russia plans to launch a second satellite loaded with instruments sometime next month, perhaps on Red Army Day. Nov. 7. Russian declarations that on Oct. fi an H-bomb explosion was set off "at a great height," sup ports speculation about missile borne warheads. Pay Attention To Claim Some sources here pay consid erable attention to the Soviet claim that Russian bombs are tested high in the air to limit radio-active contamination. The Russians know as well as any body that explosions in the stratosphere spread contamina tion more extensively around the world than lower bursts do. If the Russians are sensitive to - world opinion, and they seem to be, they must know that they would inflict more harm on other countries with ordinary high bursts than they would with lower ones. Stratosphere Test Seen So there has been speculation that when the Russians claim to explode their H-bombs at "very great heights" where they will do no harm, they mean at alti tudes transcending the strato sphere with its 20-mile ceiling. Radioactivity released above the stratosphere conceivably would never settle to the surface of the earth. It would, in effect, be spewed into space. - But no airplane could carry the Soviet H-bomb to such heights. It would require a pow erful rocket-propelled missile. President Eisenhower himself said Wednesday the Soviets ap pear to have an eight-year-head start on the United States in de velopment of ballistic missiles. Faubus Feels 'Third Party' Should Remove Students Little Rock, Ark. iW Gov. Orval E. Faubus feels that only the removal of Negro students from Central High school by a "third party" will break the deadlock between the govern or and President Eisenhower, a reliable source told United Press today. Cooling Off Period The governor feels that such a "third party" as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People should pull the Negro students out of inte grated Central High to allow a cooling off period, the soufce said.

Officials said they be lieved high winds blew a metal object on the lines, causing them to burn out. able for comment on whether any such idea of transferring six girls and three boys back to Horace Mann (Negro) school would be likely. Mrs. Bates has said that the only circumstances under which she would permit the Negro chil dren to stay at Central High would be assurances from the White House that the children "would be protected." Signs of Fatigue The governor, showing signs of fatigue from an attack of the flu, said Wednesday there was no backing down on his part. At a news conference Fau bus failed to show any optimism of troop removal in the near fu ture as reported in Washington by President Eisenhower. ' fA TTv m v JtfI RI ..cDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER If cent, he said, but this was off set by a gain In receipts of 19.8 per cent over the previous year. He said gross income of $58,141 exceeded the total expenses of $51,556 by S6,585. Patton said 2,416 new patrons requested their names be added to the Festival mailing list, com pared to 1,475 such requests last year.

IrillniE HEAD Mysterious Object In Western Skies Believed Meteor Air Defense Command Making Investigation By UNITED PRESS The North American Air De fense Command at Colorado Springs, Colo., said today it be lieved a - huge fireball that hurtled across the pre-dawn skies of seven western states was a meteor. Command officials said an Air Force investigating team would be flown "immediately" to the Northeastern Utah site where the object apparently crashed shortly after 3 a.m. (PST). Plane Nearly Sideswiped The command confirmed re ports the mysterious fiery object nearly sideswiped a Navy plane in an area near the Colorado Utah border, but said it could not identify the pilot or where the plane was based. Command officials joined sev eral eastern scientistsin ruling out the possibility the fireball was part of the Russian satellite launching rocket. Other mili tary spokesmen in this area re jected the possibility it was a runaway missile. Meteors Active "This is a period of heavy meteor activity," said one Air Force official at the Air Defense Command. "A shower known as 'giacobimids' was due Oct. 9 with others due on the 18th and 23rd of October." A Western Air Lines pilot, Capt. Joe Seday, Los Angeles, said he saw the object while flying over Southwestern Wy oming. He said a few moments later he talked air-to-air byl radio with the pilot of the uni dentified Navy plane, which had reported near-collision with the object. "We won't have any definite information on the whole thing until an Air Force team gets in there to search the area on the ground," the command's public information service said. "I have been told to announce that a full-scale investigation is being made."

(IP) The United States warned today the world "must not miss the chance" of "harnessing for peace man's new pioneering efforts in outer space." U. S. Ambassador Henry Cab ot Lodge, presenting the western disarmament position to the UN Main Political Committee, made no direct reference to Russia's man-made moon now circling the globe, but he said: Seek Agreement "We seek agreement on ways to control the latest creation of science the outer space wea pon. This device can serve the purposes of peace or it can blow us to bits. We have only begun to learn of its possibilities but we know it is too dangerous to ignore. "In 1946, when, the U. S. alone had nuclear weapons, we proposed to the UN a plan to insure the peaceful use of this new and tremendous force of atomic energy by putting it un der international control. We made that proposal. Could Have Avoided Anxiety "The world knows now that a decade of anxiety and trouble could have been avoided if that plan had been accepted. "We now have a similar op portunity to harness for peace man's new pioneering efforts in outer space. We must not miss this chance." Lodge repeated the proposal made by the western powers, at the London Disarmament Con ference earlier this year to es tablish a technical committee to study the design of an inspection system "to assure that the send ing of objects through outer space will be exclusively for peaceful and scientific purposes." Christmas Parade Scheduled Nov. 16 The annual Christmas Open ing parade, promoted by the Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the Retail Merchants association will be held Saturday, Nov. 16, starting at 1:30 p.m., Al Car penter, general chairman of the event, has announced.

Cleveland Couple Arrested in Medford Theft of a- blanket from a Medford motel led to the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Mayer Levinson, Cleveland, Ohio, last night on charges of forging pre scriptions to obtain narcotics, ac cording to police. City police arrested the Levin sons after a motel owner said they took a blanket. Police, making a routine search of , the Levinson car, found several items which they believed are involved in the use of narcotics. State police were notified. The Levinsons admitted forg ing and passing several prescip tions in southern Oregon, ac cording to city police. City po lice said the Levinsons also are wanted by Los Angeles authorit ies on charges of violating pro bation on charges of possession of narcotics. Milwaukee Bursts Into Celebration After Victory Milwaukee (IP) The baseball capital of the world burst into wild celebration today the min ute the Milwaukee Braves won the 1957 World Series from the New York Yankees. Sirens screamed, car horns blasted . across, the city, office workers dumped bushels of con fetti and stationery out of win dows along Wisconsin ave., young and old danced in the streets. A long line of girls jn white BURDETTE HURL SERIES New York IW The strong right arm of Lew Burdette car ried the Braves to a 5-0 victory over the New York Yankees today and gave Milwaukee its first World Series championship. Witn Burdette scoring an historic third victory in the series, the Braves took advantage of an error by a Yankee rookie, Tony Kubek, in the third inning to go on and score four runs and that turned oat to be the bait game. Kubek, a native of Milwaukee and earlier a Yankee hero, could have gotten New York out of the decisive inning when he picked up a perfect double play ground ball off the bat of Johnny Logan, but instead he fired wildly to second oase. That was the only break the Braves needed, for instead of the side being retired they had two men on base with only one out. They went on to knock Don (Perfect Game) Larsen out of the box and score all the runs they needed to win. So Larsen had to take the rap, one year and two days after he had pitched the first perfect game in World Series history, al though it wasn't all his fault. For Burdette it was a brilliant triumph; for the Yankees, it was an unusual defeat, a game they lost because of their own shortcomings in the firud Those shortcomings robbed Manager Casey Stengel of a record tying seventh World Series triumph, but the way Burdette pitched, the Yankees never were in the ball game after that big third inning. Unusual for them, (he Yankees committed three official er rors Del Crandall's home run off Tommy Byrne, the fifth Yankee pitcher, in the eighth inning, was just icing on this Milwaukie tri umph. It was the second successive shutout Burdette had hurled, having Deaten the Yankees 1-0 in the fifth game in Milwaukee Monday. It ran his string of scoreless innings to 23 13 and made him the first pitcher since Stan Coveleskie of Cleveland in 1920 to start and win three games in one series. State Protests Canadian Order on Fruit Fumigation Salem Robert J. Steward, Oregon director of agriculture, today informed Canadian plant officials that Jackson county's large gift package fruit business is seriously impaired by the Oriental fruit moth fumigation requirement imposed earlier this year by British Columbia. He urged officials there to give every consideration to ex empting fruit gift packages from Jackson county, and other Orien tal moth-free areas from the fumigation order. Steward wired W. N. Keenan, chief of the Canadian depart ment of agriculture's division of plant protection at Ottawa, that the Oriental fruit moth is not present in Jackson county and that it is impossible and im practical to fumigate gift pack ages. He also sent the same wire to W. D. Touzeau, district plant inspection officer at Vancouver, B.C. Eight Sizes Steward pointed out packers turn out eight different sizes of gift packages of straight pears or pears and apples, and also six different types of mixed pears, apples, candy, nuts and fruit cake. In the latter group pears would have to be fumi gated prior to packing as methyl bromide could not be used on non-fruit items. Financially, shipment of . gift packages from Oregon to Canada amounts to a five-figure busi ness and is still growing, ac cording to Steward. Everything possible should be done to help this business continue to expand, Oregon's director of agriculture believes, as further development of present agricultural industries is one of the surest ways to strengthen Oregon economically. An early answer is expected, from officials. When Oregon re ceived advance notice early this year of the proposed fumigation order, Frank McKennon, the Oregon department's plant divi sion chief, issued a strong pro test. However, Canadian offi cials later reaffirmed their order. Six Deaths in Each 100 Million Miles Reported Salem (IP) Slightly more than six people met death in each 100 million miles traveled in Oregon during August, the Department of Motor Vehicles traffic safety division reported today. The death rate for the month, based on reported sales of gaso line, was 6.2 as compared with an even 6.0 reported for August i a year ago. dresses snake-danced down Wis consin ave., tying up traffic. Po licemen were grinning broadly. The celebration came like an explosion after two and a half hours of tense watching and lis tening before TV and radio sets. As the game progressed and pitcher Lew Burdette clung to his shutout, the comments flew faster: "If Lew wins this one, he would really be a hero around here." "Burdette could be mayor if we had an election tomorrow." CLINCHEi Play-by play: Braves first: Hazle struck out. Lo gan bounced out. Mathews struck out. No runs, no hits, no errors, none left.
