In County in June

U.S. Told to Deal
.
With E. Germany
' Berlin (UPI) The Com
munists said flatly last night
that the 'only way for the
United States to win freedom
for nine American service
men held captive since June
7 was to deal with East Ger
many as a diplomatic equal.
East German Foreign Min
ister Otto Winzer said all
U.S. overtures to the Soviet
Union to secure - release of
the men were in vain.
He told the East German
News Service that U.S. oc
cupation agreements with the
Soviets on the return of sold
iers who stray into the Soviet
zone no longer were valid.
The U.S. has made several
demands on the Soviets to
have the men released, basing
its position on four-power
agreements made during the
occupation. The U.S. has not
recognized East Germany and
refuses to deal with it on a
diplomatic basis, but the
Soviets had declared the
whole matter is in East Ger
man hands.
The nine servicemen were
members of the U.S. Army's
Third Armored Division. They
were aboard a helicopter en
route to the maneuver area
at Grafenwohr when . the
craft wandered across the
Iron Curtain during bad
weather.
Chamoun Successor
Urged by States
Washington (UPI) The
United States is urging pro
western Lebanese President
Camille Chamoun to give
way to a compromise succes
sor who might win support of
some of the rebels who have
been fighting his government,
it was disclosed Saturday.
American officials said the
United States has told Cham
oun it will support his desire
to serve the remainder of his
six-year term, which expires
Sept. 23. But it believes he
must stop trying to hand-pick
his successor.
Such a concession on Cham
oun's part, officials said,
might drastically weaken the
rebels. Otherwise, they said,
there may be no end to the
civil strife which has erupted
into an international issue
and has United Nations ob
servers trying to discover how
much aid the rebels are get

of the United Arab Republic.

California, with 21 high

"The holiday toll means not
only that a certain number
of people have died on high

born said Saturday night,
"but that more than 7,000

Medford High school is pro

Supply Adequate
The local labor supply has
been adequate so far this
season, he reported, and it is
already difficult to fill most
skilled and semiskilled jobs
in the lumber industry.
Total unemployment in
.Jackson county at the end of
June was 25 per cent below
May and about 20 per cent
below the level of a year ago.
Non-agricultural job place
ments continued about the
same level as last month, and
about 10 per cent above this
time last year, the local man
ager said.
In agriculture the labor de
mand, has been slow because
the orchards have required
little thinning this year, but
Patton predicted that demand
for. workers, will increase rap
idly by the start of the fruit
harvest about Aug. 1.
Patton announced that in
view of thee considerable
amount of unemployment in
Oregon during the past win
ter and the current surplus
of labor in some parts of the
state, a special effort will be
made to recruit harvest help
from all parts of Oregon.

Early Saturday
Navy Says Men Will,
Not Be Found Alive
Honolulu (UPI) The
search for possible survivors
from Friday's crash of an Air
Force Globemaster was ealled
off Saturday after the Navy
decided there was no chance
any of the four men still not
accounted for would be found,
alive.
, Nine men were aboard the
90-ton, four-engined c a r go
plane when it crashed into
the ocean 610 miles southwest
of here. A propellor was
thrown through the fuselage.
Three were rescued by a
helicopter from the aircraft
carrier USS Boxer; One body
was recovered. The rescued
men reported one more had
died shortly after the crash.
Search Called Off,
The search was called off
only after ships, planes, heli
copters, the aircraft carrier,
destroyers and small boats re
peatedly swept the area.
The Navy said Capt. J. E.
Vose, skipper of the Boxer
and on-the-scene commander
of the search, "considers that
no possibility exists for recov
ery of additional survivors."
Searchers picked up 52
bags of mailancL'Jiumerous
pieces of the plane including
the main landing gear and
two landing wheels. They
were certain if there had been
more survivors or bodies they
would have found them. .

recovered was one of the five.

of the five "did not survive,"
according to word ; from the
survivors. ; . . , A. ...
