Anniversary Than Problems of World
By HENRY GRIS
United Press Correspondent
Monte Carlo flpi The rest of the world
may worry today about Sputniks and dis
armament, but not Monaco. This tiny fairy
tale principality was more concerned with
celebrating the eighth anniversary of Prince
Rainier's rule.
Rainier and Princess Grace, the former
Grace Kelly of Philadelphia and the Holly
wood movies, formally opened the festivities
Monday night to mark his accession to the
throne of the Grimaldis eight years ago.
The great "fete nationale" started with a
grand reception in the palace and dancing in
the itreets. I represented the world press in
the palace.
Whatever the outside world may have
been concerned with, it didn't bother Monaco.
The Central Park-sized country was bathed in
light, and 3,000 Monegasques took in with
rest the fireworks, free movies and free meals
offered in accordance with long-standing tra
dition. Monaco's red and white flags and the
Stars and Stripes of the United States have

Goal Gets Nearer
For United Crusade,
Chairman Reports
Approximately 88 per cent of
this year's United Medford Cru
sade goal has been collected.
Crusade officials 'announced to
day that $108,000 had been
raised as of yesterday
Bob Johnson, campaign chair
man, said that this figure is
$5,000 more than the compar
able figure last year.
The outstanding section in the
campaign this week was that of
the loggers. The logging section
reported $1700 raised on a
$1,000 goal, or 70 per cent over
the section goal.
Special mention was given
Mrs. Ray Reter, Mrs. Joe Hearin
and Mrs. Eugene DeVoe'for their
efforts in the home crusade.
In comparison to, state-wide
figures, Medford ranks 12th in
percentage of goal accomplish
ment. Three United Fund cam
paigns in the state have been
successful. All started in early
August. The Medford campaign
is the only one in the state that
has been successful for four con
tinuous years. If this year's goal
is realized, it will establish a
gtate-wide record. .
Dave Irving, assistant general
chairman, said, "We're going to
make our goal, but we need to
through with a fine tooth
comb and clear up the remain
ing pledges." Johnson also ex
pressed sincere belief that the
goal would be reached but cau
tioned, "We cannot exert too
much effort in this last phase
of the campaign. We still must
realize we are some, distance
from our goal and need the final
efforts of all our workers."

reacted angrily today to the sus

Army S3C William S. Girard
who shot and killed a Japanese
woman last spring on what a
Japanese judge called a "child

a free man.
Today's sentence will not be

until 14 days have passed. Dur
ing that time both prosecution
and defense attorneys can file
an appeal. Indications were both
sides have had enough and the
conviction will stand.

an overpass today and one of
the cars catapulted into a five-
story brick warehouse. The loco

The engineer and firemen were
killed. Eight other persons were
injured and scores were shaken
up. The Boston and Maine Rail
r o a d combination passenger
freight was carrying about 350
passengers.
The wreck occurred during a
drizzle on a curving detour sec
tion of track. Repair work was
under way on the main track.
Railroad Statement
The railroad said in a state
ment that "preliminary inquiry
at the scene, of the accident indi
cates that there was no equip
ment defect, but that the train
was going at excessive speed in
a restricted speed area . . ."
Dead were engineer- Harold
J. Danford, Somerville, Mass.,
and the fireman, James Murphy,
Nashua, N.H., who was trapped
in the cab of the locomotive,
which toppled 11 feet to the
street.
The seven-car train was travel
ing over, a side track when it
became derailed and tore into
the Converse Rubber company
warehouse in which 100 persons
were working. The two-section
locomotive tore a 15-foot gash
in one corner of the building
and fell to the street.
Engine Spills
The engine spilled on one side
of the bridge embankment and
the power car on the other. The
power car landed upright against
a single-story icinder block build
ing, battering in its roof.
The trestle itself was threat
ened with collapse. Steel girders
supporting it were weakened in
the ' impact and police cleared
everyone off the bridge.
Only four rear cars remained
upright on the tracks.
The wreck occurred within 50
yards of St. Clement's Parochial
school and Convent, minutes be
fore "school was to open, and
about 200 yards from the Tufts
College railroad station.
Ambulances were summoned
from eight surrounding commu
nities. About 3,000 bystanders
flocked to the scene.
Remodeling Shifts
In City Offices
Remodeling of the city hall
second floor offices today moved
into the area where offices of
the city attorney and public
works director were, according
to officials.
The offices, when completed,
will house the city building de
partment and Gil Gutjahr, ad
ministrative assistant. The of
fices will be enlarged and a
counter will be built onto the
office of the building depart
ment. Public Works Director Vernon
Thorpe and City' Attorney E. R.
Bashaw moved into offices at
the rear of the building today.
The city engineering depart
ment formerly was located
where the new offices are. The
engineering department will
move into new quarters in the
area of the building where the
city building department and
city engineer office was located.
Officials said the reason for
slow progress in remodeling was
because the contractors are forc
ed to complete one section of
the building at a time in order
not to interrupt the carrying on
of city business.

Chlorine Machines
To Receive Test;
Homes Unaffected
One of the city's two chlorine
machines will go into operation
on the number one pipeline of
the city's water supply system
Wednesday morning,' according
to Robert L. Lee, Mdeford water
superintendent.
He said the water, which will
be treated for about 7 to 10 days
will not be received in any Med
ford' homes but-wHlr-be-diverted
into a reservoir and ' then will
be run off into nearby Bear
creek. Only about 25 farmers
on the line will receive the wa
ter before it is piped into the
reservoir, he said.
Lee said the number two pipe
line would be more than suffic
ient to supply the city needs at
this time of the year. .
Not Neccessary
Adding chlorine to the water
is not necessary to Medford's
system, Lee said, but the city
tests one of its stand-by mach
ines, each year to make sure it
is in working order if ever need
ed, he said. He also said the
chlorine has a flushing value for
the mains when put into the
water. The bleaching effect on
the mains tends to remove ac
cumulations, he added.
Lee said the city has about
30 water inspection tests per
month, each one in a different
location on the lines. The- Ore
gon state board of health makes
rigid inspections of the city sup
ply and system, ' he " said. They
never have required the use of
chlorine because of the system
being underground, he added.
About four times the normal
amount of chlorine that would
be used will be put into the line
during the test, he said. He re
ported this amount, would not
be harmful to people or animals.
The fcity will use about 900
pounds of chlorine during the
test. Cost of the chlorine will be
about $112, Lee said.
Road Conditions
State police reported at
noon today that all highways
in Southern Oregon are clear

In the snow-covered Midwest,

Other Nations in
Europe To Receive
Them, McElroy Says
President Lists Talk
At End of Meeting
Augusta, Ga. (IP) Defense
Secretary Neil H. McElroy an
nounced today after a confer
ence with President Eisenhow
er that the United States will
begin to supply guided missiles
to Great Britain and other Eur
opean nations during 1959.
McElroy spent two hours
with the President here today
at the Augusta National Golf
club then held a lengthy news
conference with reporters who
travel with the chief executive.
McElroy 'said it might be nec
essary to close down some mili
tary installations in this coun
try to meet the demands of a
higher defense budget next year.
The defense secretary also told
reporters before returning to
Washington that he anticipates
a major budget increase for his
department next year, possibly
as high as $40 billion. The cur
rent defense budget is $39 bil
lion arid expected to increase by
at least $500 million before the
fiscal year ends next June 30.
The President and British
Prime Minister Harold McMil
lan agreed in a meeting in Ber
muda last spring that the U.S.
would start, as soon as practic
able, to supply Great Britain
with guided missies without nu
clear warheads.
McElroy said the final budget
figure was not settled today, but
he thought it would be "com
pletely possible" that some mil
itary installations in the U. S.
would have to be closed down
to meet the financial demands
of the space age. .
President Sets Speech
As the meeting between the
President and McElroy ended.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty announced
that the chief executive would
make his third "chins-up" speech
to the American public from
Cleveland, Ohio, on the night of
Nov. 26.
The President will speak un
der the auspices of the Cleve
land Chamber of Commerce and
will be introduced by former
Treasury Secretary George
Humphrey.
Hagerty said the subject of
the Nov. 26 speech would be
"The Value of International Co
operation in Our Nation's Se
curity." "'
The President has given no
indication he is considering
boosting taxes to pay for step
ped up missile development and
production. But he has held out
no hope of a reduction saying the
increased defense costs must
come out of domestic govern
ment services.
