The meeting, which was held at the Central Point Grange hall, was called by Central Point Mayor Freeman Mason. It was one in a series of meetings planned for pity officials of valley cities -and towns. , Grants Pass Mayor E. D. Potts and City Manager Hugh McKinley asked that "Grants Pass be permitted to join 13 rural districts in "Jackson county for mutual aid in fight Ing major fires. McKinley conferred with Medford Fire Chief Gordon Barker on a standard agree ment form after the meeting. Barker, prior to the meeting, had suggested that . Grants Pass sign with each of the 13 mutual aid districts. Potts said Grants Pass could offer a 3,750 gallon pumping capacity, especially to nearby Rogue River and Gold Hill. . Points to Need The Medford fire chief had pointed out the need for mu tual aid districts in his talk last night on the Roseburg ex plosion and fire. Jack Foster, of the Jackson County Citizens Air Pollution Abatement League, empha sized that his group is gather ing public and industry sup port behind it. " "People are asking more questions, showing a growing public interest in this prob lem," Foster said. "We must have a common bond or agree ment. The problem is solution, not conviction. Legislating against the air pollution prob lem is a drastic thing to do." ." Foster said the larger or chards and most of the lumber companies are agreeable and willing to help in solving the problem. A few are not, he added. League representatives have travelled through almost every valley orchard and know where each rubber tire is used for orchard heating, he remarked. Asks About Service . Rudy Tetreault, Jackson ville, asked Foster if the league had contacted the City Sanitary Service, which is polluting the air around Jack sonville. : Foster replied the league is concentrating only on the lumber and fruit industries , now. ; County Judge Ear" Miller reported a general meeting on air pollution was held early last spring. Then George Flan nigan, Elk Lumber company. was appointed chairman for the lumber industry's anti pollution five-year plan. Dun bar Carpenter, Medford fruit grower, was appomted chair man of the fruit industry cam paign. A June report stated both erouDs are progressing on schedule. A report by all ci-ouds on future plans and programming is expected Oct, 15. the county judge saia. A fact-finding group has been organized for water pol lution. Miller said. It is com- nosed of representatives of each community affected by Bear creek pollution. The com mittee has not yet had the time to gather facts for pre sentation. Primary Problem Primary problem facing the county now is zoning, Miller said. A law passed by the last state legislature, allows coun ties to establish interim zon ing on petition of 10 per cent of the people involved. This zoning would be effective for three years or until the people vote on county -wide zoning during a county election, Mill er explained. - Maj. Gen, Joseph Hicks, Jackson County Civil Defense director, urged all communi ties to survey tunels, mines, warehouses and .basements as possibilities for shelters against attack by missiles Ashland is the only city now doing it, he said. Hicks noted a number of civil defense blessings in the county: Alert fire and police departments, radi ol o g i c a 1 monitoring network with 30 well-equipped teams ready to measure and detect the amount and intensityof fall out, and a volunteer radio communication network of 40 civil defense sets on one fre quency. ' Reads Report Barker read portions of report made on the Roseburg fire and explosion by Donald Starmer, acting Roseburg fire chief. Barker urged that all mutual aid fire departments have one common radio fre quency which could be' used in Jackson county in case of a similar emergency. Fire fighting personnel should be stationed close to the major source or sources of fire danger, Barker sug gested Roseburg's fire depart ment was handicapped on the two points, he said. Another handicap to the Roseburg fire department was HIT Ph. MIX 2330 Crater Lake Ave. 9 BONELESS TOP- SIRLOINS ... lb.

Roseburg was on an austerity program for all city departments because of recent financial difficulties. Fire defenses consisted of 16 paid men working two 24- hour shifts for five days and 15 active volunteers. The fire chief had suffered a heart at tack prior to the explosion and the assistant fire chief was killed by the explosion. Starmer was a lieutenant at the time. Roseburg did not have a fire code as city law prior to the blast, the report pointed out During comments by vari ous mayors, Arthur Mackin tosh, Phoenix mayor, urged a common pool be formed by the small towns to obtain en gineering ana legal services. French Airliner Crashes, Burns; 53 Known Dead Bordeaux, France (DPD-An American-made French air liner exploded, crashed and burned near here Thursday night, killing at least 53 of the 65 persons aboard and in juring the 12 survivors. , So far as was known, there were no Americans among the casualties. The four-engined DC-7, on a flight from Paris to Bamako in West Africa, stopped in this Atlantic port to pick up 20 passengers. Airport officials said the big plane, operated by France's TAI Airline, appear ed to have trouble with its engines during the takeoff. About a minute after it left the runway, they said, it was shaken by a "tremendous ex plosion" and nose-dived into a clump of pines about three miles away. Flaiues f ed by high-test gas oline from the plane's rup tured fuel tanks belched from the broken fuselage and set fire to trees and undergrowth nearby. ' Jean Peylet, a veteran air- fman station at the Bordeaux airfield, saidSthe flames con verted the plane's cabin into a "roaring furnace" in which no one could survive. The 12 persons who escaped deah apparently were thrown clear at the moment of the crash. The first rescuers on the scene found one survivor, a badly-burned Italian teen ager, standing as close as she could get to the' flaming wreckage and whimpering "Mama . . . Mama . , . Mama.'? Her mother was located la ter among the other survi vors. Wreckage and bits of per sonal property like pocket flashlights, cigarette lighters and compacts were scattered for hundreds of yards around the scene of the crash. Russian Premier Happy, Confident As Talks Near Washington - dTPD - Nikita Khrushchev ' today begins what he calls "the meeting of heavyweights" in an appar ently happy and confident frame of mind. On the ninth day of his grueling non-stop tour across the American continent, iuirusncnev's physical ap pearance showed no great signs of wear and tear. Young men in his traveling party, both American and Russian, were ready to call it a day. But not Khrushchev, who consistently has demon strated extraordinary stamina and energy as well as intellec tual agility to public and pri vate audiences in New York City, California, Iowa, Pitts burgh and Washington. Annoyed at Los Angeles - Los Angeles was the low point in Khrushchev's Amer ican experience. He was an noyed by the unresponsive: ness of some of his audiences, irritated by security . restric tions and offended by the coolness of his local hosts. As a battle scarred cam paigner, Khrushchev normal ly might have disregarded some of the incidents. He is not always as sensitive as he may appear. However, those incidents tended to confirm what he ad mitted to be a gnawing sus picion in his mind that his visit was not being taken se riously enough, that he had been invited here to be hu miliated. Khrushchev never question ed President Eisenhower's mo tive -in inviting him to this country, But there was no certainty among the men in Khrushchev's entourage that efforts were not being made by influential individuals in the administration to under mine the President's agree ment to exchange visits. . San Francisco proved to be the turning point of Khursh- chevs visit. At the outset of the journey , the Soviet pre mier made clear to his' hosts that as a guest of the Presi dent he expected all the cour tesies normally accorded to the head of a powerful government. Khrushchev did not and could not see much of Amer ica. The little he was exposed to was seen 'through the screen of security officials, photographers, and newspa pers. But it confirmed wnat he previously had said: that America is rich, strong and efficient, that its people are hospitable, warm and generous.
