Air Pollution, Joint Services
Discussed at Officials Meeting
Central Point - City offi
cials of several Rogue valley
cities last night discussed sub
jects ranging from air pollu
tion to the need for jomt en
gineering and legal services.
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

lack of on duty fire-fighting
personnel one officer with
two men in the west side sta
tion. 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.
