discussion of water safety at
the June meeting of the Safe
ty Council recently.
Panelists included Manville
Heisel, president of the Jack
son County chapter of the
American Red Cross, B. L.
Collingsworth, state police of
ficer, and T. M. Geraw, state
district sanitary engineer
with the state " board of
Health.
Demonstrate Method
Collingsworth, a newly cer
tified Red Cross first aid in
structor, demonstrated the
back-pressure arm-lift method
of artificial respiratioh. His
subject was Berry Bigham,
president of the Medford
Safety Council and a quali
fied Red Cross first aid in
structor with many years of
first aid training experience.
The mouth to mouth meth
od of artificial respiration,
used primarily on children,
according to Bigham, was
demonstrated by Collings
worth with the use of a rub
ber doll.
Another method, the mouth
to airway methods, using a
metal, rubber or plastic air
way, was explained by Dr.
Fowler, who pointed out that
it was still in the trial stages.
Cautions Residents
In cautioning residents con
cerning water safety, the pan
el noted that 24 years of age
was the average age of those
who died in drowning mishaps
on Memorial Day week end.
Adults need to be especially
reminded of the hazards of
swimming in natural areas,
and to pass this caution on
to youngsters, it was pointed
out.
The Medford Safety coun
cil has designated June and
Juy as months of special em
phasis on water safety and
urged parents to take advan
tage of the swimming instruc
tion offered by the Red Cross
and the YMCA.
Bigham urged every fam
ily to learn to swim and to be
come iamuiar witn life-saving
techniques for greater
peace of mind and greater en
joyment of water recreation.

Tito Mav H
Break of P
By RUSSELL JONES
United Press International
Warsaw, Poland (UPI)-
Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito may
have factual proof that the
Soviet Union broke its solemn
word to support the Hungar
ian government of Imre Nagy
in October. 1956.
Many Hungarian experts
are convinced of the truth of
a report that Nagy secretly
tape recorded promises given
him by Soviet Deputy Anas
tas Mikoyan and top party
leader Mikhail Suslov, after
the Hungarian people rose up
against the harsh Stalinists
who had been running the
country.
Nagy and three of his com
patriots have been executed
for leading the rebellion. An
nouncement of the secret trial
and executions was made
Tuesday.
According to the reports,
Nagy took the recording with
him to the Yugoslav Embassy
in Budapest when he fled be
fore the Soviet tanks and
troops who crushed the revo
lution. Fact Outlined
Whether Tito actually has
such proof of Russia's double
cross is not known. But this
much is fact:
Suslov and Mikoyan came
to Budapest in the last days
of October and held long con
ventions with Nagy, the pres
ent party leader Janos Kadar
and other top Hungarians.
These discussions were held in
the Hungarian Communist
Party headquarters and in
Nagy's office in the parlia
ment building.

The Soviet cunter-offensive
and Nagy's flight to Yugo
slav asyluni came on Nov. 4.
According to the experts,
events that occurred between
those dates caused the So
viets to renege on their prom
ises to Nagy and throw the
full weight of their army
against the Hungarian people.

Lehi IV To
JuSy 5 for Hawaii
To Prove Race Point
Redondo Beach, Calif,
(UPI) The 12-ton 'raft' Lehi
IV will cast off for Hawaii
July 5 on the first leg of a
journey its captain hopes will
further man's knowledge of
the world's intermingling pop
ulation. Capt. Devere Baker, 42,
started earlier expeditions
from the San Francisco Bay
region and one of the rafts
still is bobbing across the Pa
cific Ocean.
"Lehi I, which we were
forced to abandon six years
ago, is somewhere near Ta
hiti, according to the last re
ports," Baker said. "Five
of Soviet
Back Naav
in The Arab world.
Second, President Eisen
hower, while showing no great
concern about Hungary, re
acted rapidly over the Suez,
threatening to break with the
British and French.
Thus, the experts say, the
Soviets ' were convinced the
U.S. would not interfere in
Hungary but would, in effect,
protect Soviet interests in the
Middle East.
Nagy, meanwhile, was drift
ing farther and farther from
Moscow; giving rise to fears
that Hungary might even en
ter the Western camp.
When it became safe to
break the pledges to Nagy;
the Soviets were ready.
Set
ships have boarded it to re
fresh the batteries for its
navigational lights and they
report its latest' position to
the Coast Guard.'
The second Lehi is an
chored in a bay near Ensen
ada, Mexico. Lehi III was in
corporated into Baker's new
est craft.
Baker has been working
on what he terms "my proj
ect" for 12 years. He sold his
two shipbuilding companies
in the Bay area to finance the
work. His wife, " Nola, and
two teen-age daughters are
enthusiastic in Baker's sup
port. Local Contributions
Each of the rafts cost $30,
000, : Baker estimates. His fi
nances have been boosted by
contributions from various
local groups.
Accompanying Baker on
the trip will .be four crew
members: Larry Foglino, 27,
a' member of an earlier expe
dition who now lives at Glen
dale, Calif.; Dee Jay Nelson,
36, of Vernal, Utah; Ed Ke
kaula, 27, of Hawaii, and Dale
Jackson, 26, San Marino,
Calif.
It is estimated the Hawaii
trip will take three months
and! serve as a "shakedown
cruise."
After Lehi IV reaches Ha
waii it will be lifted aboard
a freighter and taken to the
Persian Gulf, where an at
tempt will be made to swing
across the Pacific . to South
America with stops at India,
Singapore and the Philip
pines. Baker believes it may
take a year for the trans-Pacific
cruise.
More Contributions
The 12-inch square timbers
used in construction of the
raft were donated by the Re
dondo Beach Chamber of
Commerce, which also gave
Baker the land on which to
build Lehi IV.
Baker claims the purpose
of liis trip, is to focus world
wide attention on, his belief
that a highly civilized Semitic"
race came to the Americas
hundreds of years ago by fol
lowing ocean currents.
The Coast Guard, which in
the past has been disturbed
by Baker's trips, now takes a
hands off stand in his regard.
"We think it isjjto his own
interests to inform authori
ties; of his plans and estimated
times, of arrival," a Coast
Guard spokesman said. "How
ever, this would be for his
own protection only and he is
not required to do so."

Joel Reitman, who was

Local Firm Not
Fumigating Now
V
Oak Grove Furniture com
pany is not doing any more
cherry fumigating, according
to Manager Bill Rombach.
He explained that although
the company had been proc
essing commercially grown
cherries in its fumigation
chamber, it was not going to
process those either. It re
quires too much rearranging,
Rombach said.
Oak Grove Furniture com
pany had been listed as one
of the three fumigation cham
bers in southern Oregon ap
proved by the state depart
ment of agriculture. The oth
er two are operated by W. E.
Holhbauch,' Grants Pass, and
Harry Downs, Hugo.
According to a release from
Salem, the cherries must be
fumigated in the approved
fumigation chambers before
they can be brought across
the Oregon line into Califor
nia and Idaho. This is to pre
vent the spread of the cherry
fruit fly.
Rombach said following a
recent news story the com
pany received a number of
telephone calls from non
commercial cherry growers
wanting to fumigate their
cherries. "It isn't practical to
process such small, individual
amounts of. cherries," he said.
The fumigating chamber is
used for second-hand furni
ture, a company spokesman
said.

Miss Goede, who vanished
with the boy on Saturdc
was believed to have been the
woman who turned little Joel
over to an Ottawa taxi driver
Monday. s
Suicide Feared
Fears were expressed that
Miss Goede, who entered Can
ada from Germany in 1954,
may have committed suicide.
The blue-eyed youngster,
heir to a clothing chain store
fortune, vanished after his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cyril
Reitman, left their $100,000
suburban Montreal home to
visit friends. The boy's nurse
maid also disappeared. A wo
man answering her descrip
tion was last seen in Ottawa
on Monday morning after the
child had been abandoned
with cab driver Edward Roy
er. Questioned about the sui
cide rumors a senior Ottawa
detective said the idea" was
"feasible in a sense."
Vancouver police contacted
police in Montreal and Otta
wa in the hope that they may
be able to provide a slender
clue to the woman's where
abouts. Mr. and Mrs. Reitman
drove to Ottawa late Tues
day and Reitman was the
first of the parents to reach
little Joel.
'My Boy, My Boy'
He leaped from his car, and
raced across the street push
ing reporters and photograph
ers aside. He dashed into the
home, threw his arms around
his son and said, "My boy, my
boy."
Mrs. Reitman was only a
second behind. With tears
streaming down her cheeks
she took her child from her
husband and hugged him to
her chest. She wept openly.
But the center of all the
emotion, Joel, didn't appear
too disturbed by the scene.
He kept reaching across his
mother's shoulder trying to
play with his grandmother's
glasses.
