12 Mexicans Die,
o
19 Injured as
Fire Razes Bus
Work Crew Killed
In California Tragedy
Soledad, Calif. (UPD
Twelve Mexican nationals
were burned to death and 19
others were hospitalized , to
day when they were trapped
in the back of a makeshift
bus that caught fire as it took
them to work ffpm a farm
labor camp.
The fire apparently broke
out when a can of gasoline
in the front of the bus over
turned and sloshed into the
back where 50 Mexicans were
riding. The gasoline was ap
parently ignited by a match
or a cigarette and flames
roared through the wood and
metal top to a flatbed truck,
which had only .two exits
at the rear and both were
barred by safety chains. There
were benches on both sides
of the truck bed and in the
middle.
Trapped Behind Chain
A , paerby, Trino Romo,
said he was able to get the
chain off one exit but could
not undo the other chain. He
said those that died were
trapped in that side of the bus
behind the chain.
"I could hear the men
praying in Spanish as I strug
eled with the chains," Homo
said.
, Mrs. Audrey Burns, who
lived nearby, said she was
rakened by the screams of
the men and said she looked
out to see the truck covered
witbsmoke. 1 then burst into
flames.
Identification Impossible.
The accident took place
within the Soledad city limits
and the Soledad Fire Depart
ment extinguished the blaze
seven minutes after it arriv
ed.' However it took more
than two hours to get the
charred bodies out of the
bus. Immediate identification
was impossible.

Prospects Dimmer
Prospects for a summit
meeting to be attended by
President Eisenhower and the
British, French and Russian
chiefs of. state appeared some
what dimmer after the United
States denounced Moscow for
a breach of diplomatic cour
tesy and the Kremlin ques
tioned whether the Western
powers really wanted a top
level meeting.
The State Department Mon
day night released hitherto
secret documents detailing the
Western proposals for a sum
mit conference agenda be
cause it had been informed
the Soviet Union intended to
publish the supposedly confi
dential papers.
Official said they regarded
the Russian "threat" to pub
lish as a breach of diplomat
ic courtesy and wanted .to put
forth the Western proposals
before the Russians "garbled"
them.
At the same time the State
Department denounced
Khrushchev's long June 11 let
ter to Eisenhower on the sum
mit conference as propaganda
and said it did not appear to
advance matters.
Time To Get Going
The Khrushchev letter,
broadcast Monday by Moscow
Radio, said it was high time
to get going on a summit meet
ing and implied the Western
powers were interested more
in putting up roadblocks.
Diplomatic authorities said
they believed Khrushchev
may be casting about for tac
tics to get Russia's stalled
"peace offensive" in high
gear again. They said the
Kremlin appears to have lost
the diplomatic initiative in
recent days in view of the
solid front put up by the West
in insisting a summit confer

Brand Inspector's
Discharge Said
Fair, Equitable
Stockmen Reach Their
Decision After Study
The recent discharge of
Sterling Fryrear as brand in
spector for this area was han
dled in "a fair and equitable
manner," according to the ex
ecutive board of the Jackson
County . Stockmen's associa
tion. The board reached that de
cision during its meeting last
night in the county extension
agent's o'ffice. It followed a
report by Jim Miller, Medford,
and Leon Offenbacher, Apple
gate. They had been, directed
to contact the Guy Hughes,
Fryrear's superior and obtain
the background on the back
ground on the charges. They
had also studied all documents
pertaining to the case, the re
port read.
Fair, Equitable
"The board of directors felt
that the department of agri
culture were handling the
situation in a fair and equi
table manner together with
the fact that the department,
in accordance with recent leg

ing all employes who reach
the age of 65 years," the re
port stated. . 1

A member of the stockmen's
association executive board
said the group "is highly mif
fed at the articles which ap
peared in the paper since they
feel they were premature."
Also, the same board member
said his group did not want
the public to think the stock
men were taking the law into
their own hands.
Fryrear had been firedjre
centlyon charges of insubor
dination, according to infor
mation available. He had re
portedly disobeyed a direc
tive from state brand inspec

him. Permission had been
granted his wife as an assist

Forces Sought
To Seal Frontier
Against Syria
Several Thousand
Troops Requested
Beirut (UPI) The gov
ernment of rebellion-torn Leb
anon said today it had asked
the United Nations to move in
a force of several thousand
men and seal off its frontiers.
The disclosure was made by
Health Minister Albert Mok
heber, named by President
Camille Chamoun to act as
liaison officer with U. N. ob
server teams here. .
Mokheber said Lebanon
asked for land, sea and air
force troops and that the re
quest already is in the hands
of U. N. Secretary - general
Dag Hammarskjold.
Hammarskj old leaves New
York today and is expected in
Beirut sometime during the
night for an on the spot re
port from the observer teams.
Mokheber said the Security
Council may be reconvened to
consider the Lebanese request.
He said the force would have
to number more than 4,000
men and perhaps as many as
6,000 to 7,000 men to seal ef
fectively Lebanon's 150-mile
border with Syria.
Lebanon itself was tense
though quiet except for the
occasional whine of a sniper's
bullet and Maj. Gen. Fuad
Chehab, the Lebanese chief of
staff, declared "the situation
under control."
But official circles ex
pressed concern that the well
armed and well organized
rebel troop units might se
verely strain the security
forces if an all-out attack is
ordered across the nation.
Hammarskjold's greatest
worry; was believed to ' be
that another' flare-up of the
fighting might embroil the
United States, Britain and
Russia.

He said that the trouble in

Long-Standing
Friendship With
Goldfine Upheld
Would Act 'More
Prudently' Next Time
Washington (UPI) The
White Houte said today ,
that Sherman Adams will
continue as assistant lo
President Eisenhower.
Washington (UPI) Sher
man Adams admitted today
that he made a mistake in
calling the Federal Trade
Commission for his friend
Bernard Goldfine and said
that if he had it to do over
again, he would act "more
prudently." '
Adams, winding u) a more
than two-hour defense of his
relations with the Boston mil
lionaire industrialist conced
ed that on hindsight he would
have done differently.
However, Adams staunchly
defended his long-standing
friendship with the wealthy
New England manufacturer
and said he saw nothing
wrong in exchanging gifts
with him.
Said Not Aware
But the chief presidential
assistant testified that he was
not aware that he sought FTC
h-formaion for Goldfine that
there were strict federal regu
lations against disclosing such
data.
As he left the witness chair,
a reporter asked if it would be
correct to assume that Adams
intended to remain in his
White House job.
"I have nothing more to
.say than what I have already
'said," Adams replied.
Subcommittee members
varied in the conclusions the?
drew from Adams' testimony.
Rep. John E. Moss (D-Calif.)
said "I am of the firm opin
ion that regardless of Adams'
intent, the result was prefer
ential treatment for Goldfine.
Reading the record, I think
anyone coming to a different
conclusion could only be ,
somewhat naive."
Draws Praise
Rep. Charles A. Wolvertgn
(R-N.J.) praised Adams Wr
giving what Wolverton called
a fair, honest account. He said
grounds possibly exist for
some criticism, but that "you
have to look at the man's in
tent." At one point in his testi
mony Adams said "I think
there are some lessons we all
learn, no matter how far
along we get." O
Under questioning by Har
ris he conceded that an agency
official might get a wrong im
pression from a White House
call as to what was desired.
Legislators To Take

since 1894, each state repre
sentative and senator m$y se
lect a student each year . to
be given free tuition to Ore
gon State.
State Rep. Norman Howard
said, theri still were some
questions! about the law such
as whether it was good for
all four years and whether it
would limit the number of
girls. "But it probably will
be made workable by the
next Legislature," he said.
tion has since dropped its op
position to many of the dis
puted projects, and has agreed
to compromises on some of
the other projects.
. Committee aides said the
new bill contains only about
four projects to which the ad
ministration is still opposed!
Retained in the new bill -was
authorization for all of
the projects in the original
bill against which the Presi
dent raised no objections.
They total more than 100 and
included the Yaquina Bay
project in Oregon.
