TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. October 30, 1957 rushchev's Bloodless Coup Seen as Another Step By K. C. THALER Uniled Press Correspondent London OP) The wily and iron-nerved Nikita S. Khrush chev has won another bloodless coup that signifies the beginning of virtually unrestrained one man dictatorship in the Soviet Union, Diplomatic sources in London said his victory over Red Army Hoard of Czarist Police Documents Excite Researchers Stanford, Calif. TP) Ex cited researchers pored today over a hoard of Czarist secret police documents whose exist ence has been unknown for more than 30 years. The two-ton hoard of docu-' ments represents the Paris office file of the Okhrana, as the old imperial Russian secret police was known. The Okhrana was set up in 1883 and was closed in 1917 with the downfall of the Czarist government. During its lifetime, it kept tabs on Russian revolu tionaries in Western Europe. The Hoover Institution on the Stanford University campus dra matically disclosed the where abouts of the file Tuesday. It was shipped to this country in 1926 in 16 sealed packing cases, bound with wire and lead seals. C. Easton Rothwell, director of the institution, said it is the 16 Bodies Found A! Mountain Site Of Airplane Crash Flagstaff, Ariz. OP) The Co conino county sheriff's office re ported today that Air Force per sonnel had recovered bodies of all 16 crew members of a giant four-engine KC97 tanker plane which crashed Into Gray moun tain 40 miles north of here Tues day. Eight bodies were recovered Tuesday, but those of the other crew members were not recov ered before dark. This morning, the sheriff's office said the bodies of the others had been found "scattered over a wide area." Plane Flying Low The big plane, from Walker Air Force Base, Roswell, N. M., crashed Tuesday morning, ap parently while flying at a low altitude. The mountain actually is a butte of about 1,200 feet, on a plateau. The plane crashed about half way up the side of the mountain, possibly during an unusually heavy morning fog. The wreck age was not sighted until Tues day afternoon. Indian police from nearby Tuba City were the first to reach the scene. Near Canyon Crash Site The crash scene, 20 miles from the nearest paved highway, is about 50 miles from where two giant airliners collided in the air and plunged into Grand Can yon, killing 128 persons, June 30. 1956. The plane, used to refuel jet aircraft at high altitudes, left Roswell on a "routine training flight." Sheriff Cecil Richardson re turned to the scene today. He reported wreckage over a wide ly scattered area,, with only the tail section distinguishable. Merrill Shooting Draws Guilty Plea Klamath Falls 0?) Baxter Hignite, 26. pleaded guilty to two counts of second degree mur der Tuesday before Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg, who set Monday, Nov. 4, for sen tencing. Hignite had waived prelim inary hearing and also the right to be heard by the grand jury. The charges grew out of the fatal shooting on the evening of Oct. 12 of James Flaugh, 48, and his wife. Lillie Pearl Flaugh, 53, both of Merrill. The Flaughs were taking care of Hignite's daughter, Cheryl Ann, 2, who had been left in their charge by his estranged wife, Leeta Ray Hignite. Police said the Flaughs were shot when they refused to let Hignite take the child away. 1954 OLDS 4 Door Beautiful tutona green Immaculate inside end out Mechanically perfect See this one LEA MOTORS 5th at Bartlett Marshal Georgi Zhukov makes him the future Stalin, the victor in a momentous struggle for su preme power in the Kremlin. These beliefs were further borne out by Khrushchev's own statement Tuesday night de scribed by diplomats as "arro gant" that he could now offer Zhukov a new job in line with his experience and qualification. But the signs were that the "largest Russian police archive outside the Soviet Union." A Surprise The Reds thought the files had been destroyed. It will come as a surprise to them that they are in California awaiting study by scholars, historians and others. "Already we have found files of Trotsky. Molotov and Pilsud ski," said Witold Sworakowski, assistant director of the institute. "I have no doubt that we shall find material on Lenin, Stalin and other leading men of the revolution." Sworakowski said the file will "unquestionably prove to be a mother lode of knowledge of the crucial years leading to the over throw of the Romanovs in March, 1917." So far, seven of the 16 boxes have been opened. It will take a year or more just to sort the papers. More Secrets Rothwell refused to say just how the files were shipped from Okhrana headquarters at 79 Rue de Grenelle, Paris, since some of those who' helped are still living. But he did say that the ship ment was carried out under the direction of Basil Maklakoff, the last pre-Communist Russian am bassador to Paris. He began smuggling the documents out in 1924. They reached the United States two years later. Maklakoff stipulated that the packing cases must remain closed until three months after his death. He died in Switzer land last July at the age of 86. Maklakoff had told the Reds he burned the documents.

Armstrong Ready To Go To Russia Buenos Aires If Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong said Tues day night he is ready to take his trumpet to Russia "anytime" since the U.S. government did the "right thing" in the Little Rock integration crisis. Armstrong had rejected in no uncertain terms an invitation from the State Department to visit Russia shortly after the eruption of the integration crisis in Arkansas. "President Eisenhower firmed up and did the right thing in sending federal troops," Arm strong said. , "I'm ready to go to Russia anytime."

In the 133-man central com mittee as well as in the power ful 15-man Presidium (or high command) of the Communist party, Khrushchev has been cun ningly strengthening the number of his supporters in months past. Zhukov's ouster was expected to be presented to the public as the unequivocal raffirmation by defense eans aacrosanci committee is drafting a plan for alerting the American people to the importance of this work. He said the scientific group, with whom he met shortly after the launching of Russia's Sput nik, believes that he personally should have a very important role in alerting the public. If it is feasible, the President said, he most certainly will car ry out the role recommended by the scientists. More Scientists Needed He said that he was a bit as tonished at the position of the scientists that they are not as much concerned about the U. S. missile position in relation to Russia now as they are with where we are going to be in 10 years. The scientists, he said, attach great importance to awakening of Americans to the need of turning out more scientific grad uates. The President said the scien tists also attach great importance to federal aid to research if needed. Eisenhower indicated that he would devote one of his forth coming major speeches to this 40 Persons Examined In Annual Clinic Forty people were examined in the annual tuberculosis clinic held recently at the Jackson county health department, ac cording to Dr. A. E. Merkel, health officer. Dr. Gerhardt Boost, tubercu losis specialist at the state hos pital was examining physician. Expenses for the clinic are pro vided by Christmas Seal funds by the Jackson county public health association as part of their tuberculosis control pro gram. Dr. Boost said most people entering the tuberculosis hospi tal have moderately or far ad vanced stages of the disease. He said if the infection could be discovered earlier, the treat ment would be more effective and the hospital stay shorter. He said the chest x-ray is the best known method of detecting the early cases. The x-ray clinic is open each Thursday at Sacred Heart hos pital between 2 and 5 p.m. and the first Wednesday of each month between 7 and 9 p.m with volunteer help provided by the Providence guild of the hos pital.

Diplomatic sources said it would appear in the final Soviet version as merely coincidental that Khrushchev would reap the immediate chief gains. But this would in effect free the way for Khrushchev's one-man dictator- Spendin subject. He said there should be an announcement soon on the first speech. Defense Secretary Neil H. Mc Elroy already had taken a step toward lifting the defense spend ing ceiling. He did this concur rently with the scheduling of a fourth congressional investiga tion of the U. S. missile program. The House Manpower Sub committee became the fourth congressional group to look into the missile setup, seeking to learn whether it has been ham pered by waste of scientific tal ent. McElroy gave a clear indica tion Tuesday he expects defense j spending to exceed its $38 bil lion limit. He said during the ! last half of 1957 expenditures ! would be likely to hit 519,400,-: 000. This is $400 million more than i the ceiling imposed by his pred- j ecessor, Charles E. Wilson.
