Couldn't Hear Every Word
Medford Is Among
Safest Cities in
Nation This Year
Medford and Portland, Ore.
were among the nation's saf
est cities for driving during
the first five months of this
year, the National Safety
Council in Chicago announc
ed today.
Medford ranked with
Kingsport, Tenn., and Napa,
Calif., as the safest in the
10,000 to 25,000 population
group with no fatalities. '
Portland ranked with
Memphis, Tenn., and San An
tonio, Tex., as one of the
three safest cities in the
350,000 to 500,000 popula
tion group. Portland had 1.8
deaths per 10,000 registered
vehicles.
Last Fatality
The last fatality nere oc
curred Dec. 11, 1957, when
John Arthur Marshall, Kalis-
pel, Mont., was struck by
truck on North Pacific high
way. There were four fatal
ities in the city last year, ac
cording to city police.
Police reported that so far
this year 45 persons have
been injured in 282 automo
bile accidents within the city.
Traffic fatalities within
the county so far this year
run far behind the 1957 fig
ure. Six persons have been
killed in three accidents com
pared to 12 on July 1, 1957.
No traffic fatalities occur
red in Jackson county July
4, 1957, but state police re
mind holiday drivers to drive

to take to the nation's high
way on the long holiday
week end.
Hearing Scheduled
By Council Tonight
The Medford city council
will hold a public hearing at

three recently annexed areas
from special districts. They
are the Earhart area, the
Phipps area and Douglas ad
dition No. 1.
The three areas are in the
rural fire district. Their with
drawal would relieve resi
dents from paying unneces
sary taxes.
on Hospital
In April, Orr, Medford mer
chant, received word from
Congressman Porter that it
would be a "difficult job" to
convince the Veterans admin
istration of the need for ex
pansion at the Camp White
domiciliary.
In his letter Porter stated
that since most cases now be
ing treated in VA hospitals
are nonservice connected it
will be a difficult job in at
tempting to justify the pro
posal to rehabilitate the' ex
isting unused buildings.
Earlier, Porter reported
that there is no intention of
tearing down the - unused
buildings at Camp White.
Fox Says Adams
Told Goldfine To
'Keep Mouth Shut
Remark Said To
Follow Boast
Washington (UPI) Bos
ton promoter John Fox swore
today he heard Presidential
Assistant Sherman Adams tell
Bernard Goldfine to "keep his
mouth shut" after he boasted
that Adams was "taking care'
of his troubles with federal
agencies.
Fox gave further testimony
to back up his charge that
Adams was present when the
boast allegedly was made,
Adams has denied that any
such incident took place.
Said Admonished
"Adams," Fox said, "took
Goldfine to a far corner of the
room and quite obviously ad
monished him."
Fox said he could not hear
every word spoken but that
"from snatches" he caught, it
was "quite obvious he was
telling Goldfine to keep his
mouth shut."
Fox, under sharp question
ing by Rep. .Joseph P. O'Hara
(R-Minn.) about his earlier
charges against Adams, also
testified that Goldfine told
him on "at least two dozen:
occasions that he had helped
Adams "financially and very
materially," especially during
the period when Adams' chil
dren were in school.
Other Witnesses v
On some of these occasions,
Fox said, others were present.
Specifically he said his secre
tary and Mrs. Mildred Paper-
man, bookkeeper for one of
Goldfine's firms, had heard
the Boston industrialist make
this statement. Adams also
has denied this charge.
Fox renewed his testimony
in open session under strict
orders from Chairman Oren
Harris (D-Ark.) to confine his
remarks to ground already
covered, and to open no new
line of allegations.
Smarting Under Charges
Harris obviously was smart
ing under charges that the
subcommittee had acted reck
lessly in hearing Fox's contro
versial testimony first in pub
lic session. In ,an opening
statement he defended the
subcommittee's action on the
ground it was trying to de
velop "all the facts." .
The subcommittee chairman
conceded that the group had
no evidence to back up some
of Fox's charges. Specifically
he mentioned in this category
the allegation denied by
Adams that Goldfine told
him he had bought a house for
Adams in Washington.
Statehood Foes
Again Defeated
Washington (UPI) The

sippi Democrat s xontenxion
that a section of the Alaska
constitution providing for the
initial election of one short

tor "does violence" to the U.S.
Constitution.
The vote was the third ma-
ior defeat suffered by state

Lebanese air force fighter

attack on rebel forces in the
mountainous country only

United States To
Formally Demand
Release of Fliers
Border Violation
By Crew Denied
Washington (UPI) The
United States was expected to
formally demand todav that
Russia promptly return nine
U. S. airmen forced to land
on Soviet territory in their
unarmed transport plane.
The State Department said
U. S. Ambassador Llewellyn
Thompson probably would
deliver the demand to Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro-
myko in" Moscow before the
day was over.
Appointment Sought
A Moscow dispatch said
Thompson asked Gromyko for
an appointment today soon
after he had received orders
from Washington to negotiate
the release of the airmen.
The Defense Department de
clared there was "no basis
whatever for Russian charges
that the plane's crew deliber
ately violated Soviet air
space. If the DC 6 type trans
port actually flew over the
U.S.S.R., the Pentagon said,
it was-Ueeause' of "arrovercast
sky.
Forced to Land
The Soviets announced
Saturday 'night that two Red
fighter planes forced the U.S.
aircraft to ' land after it flew
about 149 miles inside the
Soviet Armenian . frontier.
They said the plane "burned
up" after landing but all nine
crewmen, were safe.
The fliers ! involved were
among scores of U.S. citizens
in foreign hands after a re
cent series of incidents. U.S.
diplomats were also seeking
to win freedom for nine
American soldiers held in East
Germany and 42 servicemen
and civilians kidnaped by
rebels in Cuba.

Repeal
Freight
year all other corporate and

The' measure also ended a
tax of 4 cents a ton on trans

Repeal of the freight levies
will go into effect Aug." 1. It
will cost the Treasury an esti

Without the extension of
the other taxes, corporate and

automatically reduced at mid

The maximum tax rate on

American and a Canadian
have been seized.
Victims Identified
The . latest victims were
identified as Sherman Avery
White, General manager of
the U. S. government-owned
Nicaro nickel plans and his
assistant, J. Andrew TolL
The new kidnapings dashed
hopes that the rebels soon
would release all their vitv
tims, seized in retaliation for
the alleged refueling of Cuban
warplanes at the U. S. Naval
Base at Guantanamo.
Today's kidnapings occur
red at 8:30 a.m. and were
in the same pattern as others
beginning last Thursday.
Thought in Common Camp
All have occurred in the
rebel hotbed of Oriente Prov

might be held in a common

Havana said that U. S. Consul
Park Wollan in the Moa Bay
area of the kidnapings was
in touch with the rebels
"higher headquarters," but
had nothing to report on the
probable release of the kid
nap victims.
The reference ' to 'Tugner
headquarters" was taken -to
mean that Wollan was in
