O, o O o o o EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Nixon CaBIs For Full Airing Of Gnferservice Rivalries Washington n? Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon called today for a full airing of inter service rivalries and their possi ble effects on national defense. If competition between the services has impaired the na tional defense, Nixon said, news men should air the matter be cause "the public is entitled to know." "There can be no sacred cows as far as national defense of the United States is concerned," he told newsmen gathered for a missile background session. The vice. president, speaking extemporaneously, also made these points: 'Spend All Wsj Need' The United States "can spend all we need to spend for national defense," but he cau tioned that "if we simply give a blank' check for national de fense wer'e going to end up with rubber checks." o This country's missile in dustry is trying to do "in three years what their counterparts in the Soviet Union have been 'lining perhaps for six to 10 ears."

Nixon said three main conclu sions can be drawn from the Soviet Sputnik: (1) the Russians have developed a rocket with a thrust big enough to launch an intercontinental ballistic mis sile: (2) they can build a tricky guidance system for a satellite, and (3) they have solved the problem of reentering the at mosphere at tremendous speeds. Nixon said the guidance sys tem of an earth satellite, how ever, is only about one-tenth as accurate as that used on a mili tary missile, and this fact should be "drummed into the consciousness of informed Amer icans." Air Force Not Doomed He said the sputniks them selves do not indicate that Rus sia has licked the re-entry prob lem, but from other evidence "we certainly cannot assume that problem remains unsolved." He said that those who have spoken about "phasing out" the Air Force, in view of the de velopment of big missiles, were talking "without the awareness of the facts." Nixon said the public should be told that the development of a missile does not mean it can replace other forms of weapons. "You can get some pretty good arguments from some of -our Air Force people that there never will be a time when the manned bomber will not be an effective instrument," he said. ". . . We can make no greater Portland Pedestrian Dies From Injuries Portland (IP) An elderly man died in a local hospital early today from injuries suffered when he was struck by a car Sunday night. The victim was identified by police as Fred Wolf of Portland. The driver, Phillip Ernst, told police the victim walked from behind a bus. Wolf was thrown about 30 feet by the impact and suffered multiple injuries. Scales Free Parking Right at the Door! H. D. CHRISTENSEN s3" nn 1 r5 Monday, December 16, 1C57 effort than ... to fail to main tain the major striking power of the United States, which is our Strategic Air Force." Nixon noted a tendency in the United States to "cry about what's happened in the past," in missile development. He said this "isn't regrettable, unless we spend an inordinate amount of time wailing about what hap pened," and forget about the future. Jury Misconduct Told in Beck Case Seattle, Wash. (W Dave Beck's defense attorney confirm ed today that "misconduct of jurors" was one of the grounds on which he based a motion for a new trial for the Teamster boss convicted Saturday of grand lar ceny. Beck, 63, was accused of em bezzling Sl,900 of Teamster funds obtained from the sale of a union-owned Cadillac. His attorney, Charles S. Bur dell, said the motion did not re fer to or imply intentional mis behavior on the part of any of the jury. j 'It simply means that I will contend me state statute relat ing to the separation of jurors during the trial was no strict ly adhered to," he explained. The jury of seven men and five housewives had been kept to gether during the entire two weeks of the trial. Shortly after the jury handed down its veridct at 12:02 p.m. Saturday, Burdell filed a motion for a new trial. If the motion is denied, he said, he wil appeal the case to the state supreme court. He asked that arguments on the motion be heard as soon as pos sible. Judge George H. Revele said said the case was "continued for sentencing, subject to call." The maximum penalty for grand lar ceny is 15 years imprisonment. Girard, Bride Due To Dock at SF Today San Francisco (IP) A mili tary transport docks today at Fort Mason, bringing with it the young man whose trial for kill ling a Japanese woman caused international repercus sions early this year. He is Pvt. formerly S3C William S. Girard, 22. He and his Japanese bride Haru (Candy) Sueyama, 20, are en route to Fort Sheridan, 111., where the Army will discharge him. A Japanese court gave Girard a three-year suspended sentence last month for killing Mrs. Naka Sakai, 46, on Jan. 30. Blasted by Dynamite Portland (IP) Multnomah county sheriff's office said to day a blast which shook the southwestern part of the county Saturday night apparently was caused by an explosion of dyn amite sticks against a sign post. The sign post was splintered by "two or three" dynamite sticks, and grass and earth in the immediate area was scorched.

Half Called On Some Vel Benefits Washington (IP) The ad ministration has decided to put the brakes on spending for non-service-connected benefits . for veterans. Government and congression al sources said Saturday Presi dent Eisenhower will outline the controversial economy move in a special message to congress early in the new year. The move is aimed mainly at pensions, payments to needy vet erans disabled not in service but in civilian life. Compensa tion, as payments for service-incurred disability are known, is expected to be affected little if at all. According to present plans the president will propose merger of veterans pensions with social security. Along with other revis ions of the pension program, this would mean similar government payments to many ex-servicemen. Missing Schooner Found in Mexico Seattle (IP! A 38-foot schoo ner, missing 70 days out of Honolulu and due since Thanks giving in Port Angeles, was lo cated Sunday in a Mexican port. The schooner, named the Gi tanna, was discovered when one of its crew members phoned relatives in California from the Mexican port city of San Jose Del Cabo. The ship left Hono lulu Oct. 4 and was presumed bound for Puget Sound. When it did not arrive a coast-wide search was begun. Skipper of the craft is Wil liam Bredehoff, 56, of Honolulu. Oregon National Forest Fire Damage in Decline Portland (IP! The lowest fire damage on record occurred in 1957 in national forests in Oregon and Washington, Alfred E. Spaulding, Forest Service re gional fire control chief, report ed today. Burned areas totaled 1150 acres, far below the five-year average of 6500 acres. Largest fire was near Oakridge, Ore., covering 300 acres of mature timber which can be salvaged. People set 443 fires and light ning set 479. That ft AT? '1 . 7. MArJ'S . . &. NUWAV CltANERS ;d . 9.

The next best thing to an out door fire is a fire in the hearth and there are about as many theories of laying the fire as there are men sitting in front of it. But there are some things which can be accepted as fact. As for the best woods to burn in your fireplace, hardwoods make slow-burning fuel with lasting coals; softwoods make a quick hot fire, soon spent. About the best in the hard woods is hickory if you can come by it. Besides, like applewood, it has a pleasant aroma. Live oak is an excellent slow-burning fuel. Maples, too, make a long, hot fire, burning down to hot coals. Of the maples, sugar is a favorite because it ignites easily. Among the softwoods, second growth fir will hold a fire for some time. Seasoned chestnut and yellow poplar make a good fire but they crackle and leave no coals. As for kindling, resiny pine is wonderful and to hold a fire, use pine knots. About the best you can find in the woods, al ways dry, is the wood from a stump of pine, spruce, fir or balsam. Particularly if it has a resinous core. A tree that has been killed by lightning or a windfall will make good kin dling. Best, if the tree has been broken off without its roots. Dead branches broken from the tree always make better kindling than twigs found lying on the ground. And bark from all trees Officers Elected To Safety Council Berry Bigham, Pacific Tele phone and Telegraph company employee, was elected president of the Medford Safety council for- 1958 at a meeting Friday.

H I l U 2454 By EU6ENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist burns well. In our home we save the paper milk cartons which are heavily impregnated with wax. They burn intensely with a hot lasting flame. Soaked Newspapers For a cheap clean fuel, which makes a hot smokeless fire, soak your newspaper in a tub. Then wad up the papers into balls the size of an indoor baseball that is, about four to five inches in diameter. Squeeze out as much water as possible. Line up the balls on ledges or boards to dry out. This wartime fuel is useful as kindling or for emergencies when dry wood is hard to come by. Now about laying that fire, one which will not require con stant fussing. Remember two logs are better than one; three best of all. More than that is just being extravagant and for me, I like a cozy fire which burns down tp a good bed of coals. The two bottom logs should be split or have flat sides so they won't roll. Place them on your and irons or in your fire basket a few inches apart, with the back one an inch or two from the back of the fireplace. Take paper and crumple it between the log rests. Or lay your two logs ovar the paper or ashes and put kindling across them, leaving plenty of air space, with a few pieces of kin dling laid downward into the paper or ashes and between the logs. Then place the third log on top. To help matters along, you can start a fire with a brick that has been soaked in kerosene. But keep that pail of kerosene tightly covered, somewhat out of children's reach outside. Soak common building bricks in this. When you want to kindle the fire, lay the kerosene-impregnated brick in the grate, pile fuel on it, and light a match. The brick will burn for 50 minutes or so and save kindling wood.
