ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Sam Coon has been in Lima, Peru, a whole year and no one has thrown a jock at him yet. The ex-congressman from Baker is deputy director of th U. S. foreign aid agency, International Cooperation Ad ministration, for Peru. "They must save the rocks for the higher officials," joked Coon, who is back for a week on official business. It was in Lima that Vice President Nixon was grazed by a rock thrown by students at one of the universities which Nixon visited. Speaking more seriously, Cooa declared that both he and Mrs. Coon like their as signment very much. "It's a good city, a good country, and good people to be with," he averred. Coon said ICA sponsors five programs in Peru, principally Jn agriculture, health and ed ucation improvements. The others are labor and general development. Beyond that, Coon said he couldn't tell about his work or why he was brought - to Washington. Asked if he was under wraps because of a new order by the state department which prohibits officials from talking with newsmen infor mally, Coon said: "I don't know that it's new. It's been in effect for the year I've been with ICA. I'm not supposed to give out press re leases or talk to newspaper men about what we are doing. Governor Pledges Support of Guard Miami Beach, Fla. (W Support of nationwide efforts to keep National Guard strength at 400,000 was voiced Wednesday by Gov. Robert D. Holmes at the National Gov eraors' conferenct here. "When both our economic and diplomatic slips are show ing, we certainly need to keep our powder dry," Gov. Holmes said in referring to the need for a competent re serve force. "It has occurred to me that recent revents, particularly those in the Middle East, North Africa and Latin Amer ica, indicate a critical deter ioration of our international prestige," the governor con tinued. The governor said he thought the National Guard Yould be particularly useful irf cases of limited war or local ditwter. And I don't want to get into trouble." Coon spent some time oh Capitol Hill lunching with old colleagues m the House res taurant, apparently contacting key members of the Appro priations Committee, possibly to plug for funds for the for eign aid or trade programs. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) has joined Justice William O. Douglas and his walking band of protestants who make an annual pilgrim age here in behalf of the beauty of nature. Douglas for some years has been hiking part of the length of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, where the interior de partment has proposed build ing a parkway. It runs from Washington to Cumberland, Md., along the Potomac river, and is now a beautiful wilder ness left standing since the ad vent of the railroads. The first year Douglas and his cohorts, including some puffing newsmen, hiked the full 168-mile length. This year they went i6lA miles, starting early after camping out overnight in order to make the hike during the cool est, part,.of the-day. Neuberger couldn't keep up with the steady f our-mile-an-hour pace the 59-year-old Douglas set, but he walked the full distance. He had no comment when asked if this was to keep in shape for going the other mile with his colleague, Sen. Wayne Morse. ' Morse himself is no slouch at outdoor activity, for he keeps in shape on his farm in nearby Maryland on week ends. Last winter he had an experience which demonstrat ed his ruggedness. Scheduled to make a speech in Johnstown, Pa., he found that because of a heavy snow storm the airlines had can celled all flights. So he took off by car, driving over the AUeghenies to get there in time for his engagement. Returning that night as far as he could go, he was forced by snowdrifts to stay over night in a small town hotel. Next morning, though told the roads were blocked to Wash ington, he set out and got to within four miles of his farm via a network of back roads. He hiked through the snow the last four miles, then pro ceeded to saddle up his horse and ride out to bring in a bunch of his prize cattle that refused to buck snowdrifts, to return to the barn and food. His horse threw him into a drift, but he saved his cattle before coming in soaking wet for a change into warm, cay clothing. lways delicious ... made with Smirnoff fKA WAGON fUTH&r j M- greats name n Jnurnoft vodka 9 1 100 Pruf.

Btrtfori. tin MEDFORD Tribune 2nd SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1958 Pages 1-12 Rites for Unknown Soldier Part of Memorial Day Plans By LOUIS CASSELS United Press, Correspondent Washington (IP) World War 11 cost the lives of 293, 105 U. S. servicemen. And 33,629 died of battlefield wounds or in , prison camps during the Korean war. Next week, on Memorial Day, the President and people of the United States will ex press their gratitude to these men with profound ceremony. The First World War es tablished a way of doing this. It calls for bringing home the body of an unidentified ser viceman, exhumed from a nameless grave in an overseas military cemetery, and re burying him with every honor the nation can bestow in Ar lington National cemetery. The unknown soldier of World War I was buried at Arlington on Nov. 11, 1921. The Korea war broke out in 1950 just as the United States was preparing to per form the same symbolic rite for its dead of World War II. So now there are two wars to be remembered; two un known bodies to be placed in new marble cryps alongside the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. One of them already has been selected. On May 15, four flag-draped caskets, containing uniden tified remains of Americans who died on Korean battle fields, were placed in a row at the National Cemetery in Hawaii. A Korean combat veteran, M. Sgt. Ned Lyle of Erwin, Term., chose one of them to be the unknown ser viceman of the. Korean war. The choice of the World War II unknown has been narrowed down to two cask ets one from the European battlefields and one from the Pacific. The final selection will be made next Monday, May 26, during a ceremony aboard the guided missiles cruiser USS Canberra, standing at sea off the Virginia Capes. Medal of Honor winner, Hospitalman First Class William R. Char ette of Ludington, Mich., will choose one of the identical caskets for burial at Arling ton. The other will be buried immediately at sea with naval honors. The caskets containing the World War II unknown and the Korean unknown then will be transferred to the de stroyer USS Blandy, ' which will bring them up the, Poto mac river to Washington. A delegation f government officials, headed by Secre tary of Defense Neil McEl roy and Secretary of the Treasury Robert B. Ander son, will meet the Blandy at 9:30 a.m. (EDT) Wednesday, May 28. The caskets will be trans ferred to identical . hearses and escorted to the rotunda of the Capitol, . where they will lie in state on black-draped catafalques . until the morning of Memorial Day, May 30. The funeral procession will leave the Capitol at 1 p.m., (EDT) Friday, moving down Constitution Avenue, past the Vashington Monu ment and the Lincoln memor ial bridge to Arlington ceme tery. At funeral pace, it will take the procession an hour and a quarter to reach Arlington. Marching units of all the armed forces, the service aca demies and veterans organi zations will lead the proces sion. A special honor guard composed of the chiefs and vice chiefs of all the services will follow. The caskets will be borne on two horse-drawn artillery caisons,. side by side. Long List of Dignitaries Vice President Richard M. Nixon will ride in a black car immediately behind the caissons. Behind him will come limousines bearing members of the cabinet, jus tices of the Supreme Court, leaders of Congress and the diplomatic corps, governors of states and territories, the Medal of Honor winners from all the armed forces. President Eisenhower will drive directly from the White LHouse to Arlington cemetery to take part m the ceremon ies. The funeral service in the marble colonnaded Arlington Memorial Amphitheater will be patterned after that held in 1921 for the Unknown Sol dier of World War I. The Mar ine Band will play the Na tional Anthem, a chaplain will give the invocation, and trumpets will sound a triple call to attention the sig nal for everyone to stand with head bared for two minutes of silence. The President will deliver an address, and will place Congressional Medals of Hon or on each of the caskets. In 1921, representatives of each nation that had been al lied with America in World War I also stepped forward to place military decorations on the casket. This ceremony Geddes To Speak At GOP Conference Salem (IP) Fourth District Congressional Candidate Paul Geddes, Roseburg, will head the list of speakers slated to appear at a regional Republi can conference in Eugene this Friday and Saturday. State GOP Chairman James F. Short, Salem, will deliver the kickoff speech Friday night and Geddes will make the principal address at a Saturday night banquet. There are 71 countries out side the domination of Rus sia, or communism, which can be called dictatorships. In 49 of these countries there are outright dictators or govern ing cliques. In the other- 22 nations, it is estimated that 2 per cent of the population govern the other 98 per cent. U. S. Planning Secret Weapon Washington HP) Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy hinted broadly in testimony published Wednesday that U.S. scientists are on the track of a secret new weapon to put enemy-rockets out of commis sion. McElroy told a house appro priations subcommittee there is no assurance yet the Nike Zeus, being developed by the Army, will succeed in inter cepting and shooting down on coming enemy missiles." Explaining why he did not favor a $6 billion "crash" pro gram for the Nike - Zeus, he said, "there are alternative ways of doing this which look as if they may be "very much more effective." Some scientists' have talked about the possibility of ex ploding a hydrogen bomb in the sky in the path of a mis sile, setting up a heat barrier which would melt it. Another theory involves creating a huge cloud of sand in the at mosphere ' to cause friction and burn up the rocket. Camp McLoughlin has been developed by the Crater Lake Council, Boy Scouts of Amer ica, for over 30 years and is now valued at $69,000. Regional Plan Set For Power Portland API . The Re publican state -central commit tee has approved the concept of a regional corporation to finance power projects, Wil liam Niskanen of Bend, chair man of the GOP power policy committee, said Tuesday. Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) has introduced a bill aimed at setting up such a corporation and hearings are scheduled on it this week be fore the Senate Public Works Committee. will not be repeated. One ob vious reason is that it would raise a w k w a r d questions. Should Russia, an ally in World War H, be included? Would Japan be rated an en emy of World War II or an ally in the Korean war? The ceremony will con clude with the lowering of the two caskets into prepared marble crypts immediately ad jacent to the 50-ton marble tomb which marks the grave of World War I's unknown. Each of the crypts will later be capped with a flajt slab of granite. The one containing the unknown serviceman of World War II will be in scribed with the dates ?'1941 1945" and the other with the years "1950-1953." Sawdust Medford Fuel Go. Tel.
