MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVElf
Major Leaguers Consider
Risk of Airplane Crashes
As Hazard of Occupation
New York (IP) With a few
exceptions, major league ex
ecutives and players accept
the risk of airplane crashes as
an "occupational hazard."
A United Press survey
made that clear today in the
wake of Thursday's crash in
Munich which killed seven
members of the Manchester
United soccer team. National
league teams must fly of
course, to meet a schedule
which includes two West
coast teams. American league
teams also are increasing
flights.
Baseball's most notable non
flyers are the New York Yan
kees, who have made only six
flights in the last three years
and have none planned for
this year. No change in their
policy is anticipated as long
as George Weiss is general
manager.
Disaster Plan
Three National league
teams the Dodgers, Giants
and world champion Milwau
kee Braves will make virtu
ally all their trips by air this
year. In the American league,
the Detroit Tigers will fly,
except between Washington
and Baltimore. The three N.L.
teams will travel about 20,
000 miles in the air.
Both leagues are prepared
to cope with the problem of
an air disaster. The AL has
had a "disaster plan" in oper
ation since last Dec. 5 and
the NL has an informal agree
ment. The AL plan provides
for a pool of 84 players, 12
from each team from which
the stricken club would be
rebuilt.
Ten years ago it was a
novelty for a major league
team to fly but expansion
west and night ball worked a
slow but steady change. No
big league team ever has been
involved in a plane accident
of major proportions.
PROTEST REJECTED
Berlin (IP) E a s t German
Communists have rejected a
Western allied protest against
the demonstration Jan. 19 of
armed militia in East Berlin.
The East Zone foreign office
issued a statement Thursday
denouncing the protest as "un
justified interference in the
internal affairs of the East
German Democratic Repub
lic." The West had protested
to the Soviet government in
East Berlin on grounds that
parades of armed German
groups are banned m Berlin
under four-power agreements.
The Soviets referred the pro
test to the East Germans.

Forest Service
Asked To Increase
Coastal Timber Cut
figure of 205 million board
feet. The tentative figure, he
said, is subject to change up
ward or downward at the re
gional office in Portland or at
Washington D.C.
Tom Chamberlain, secretary-treasurer
of the Yaquina
Bay Dock and Dredge Com
pany of Newport, led the at
tack on the Forest Service cut
ting program. He cited a re
port prepared by the Port
land firm of Mason, Bruce &
Girard, timber consultants,
that said the allowable cut on
the Siuslaw should be not less
than ' 477 million board feet
per year. Chamberlain said
copies of the report had been
submitted tg the Forest Serv
ice and that no denial of its
facts or any. other indication
that it was unacceptable had
been heard.
Wakefield said the report
was being studied v and he
added that a lack of personnel
and finances prevented the
Forest Service from conduct
ing any more timber sales
then it has scheduled.

shock to us who went through
the disaster." It demanded he
retract his "wild statement"
in deference to the 200,000
