Skindivers Find
Body of Boy After
2Vi-HourSearch
Skindivers pulled the body
of 10-year-old Roger Timmer
man from the waters of Hoov
er lake, near White City, yes
terday afternoon, 214 hours
after the boy fell off a raft
on which he and another
youth had been playing.
Timmerman was the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Carl F. Timmer
man, 909 Wabash ave. The
drowning was the first Me
morial Day week end fatality
reported in Jackson county.
According to witnesses at
the scene of the accident,
which occurred about 3 p.m.,
the boy and an 'unidentified
companion had been playing
on a flimsy plywood raft in
the shallow water at the north
end of the lake. The youths
apparently pushed the raft
over a sharp drop-ioff at the
edge of the lake and both
fell off.
One of the boys made it
to shore, Roger did not.
Walter Summer, 628 Palm
st., said he and the boy's
father were fishing on the op
posite side of the lake.
Summers said the father
had been watching the boys
when he noticed them ap
proaching the drop-off, he
yelled, but they apparently
did not hear him.
Sought Help
The boy's father went to
the Desert Service station for
help after he failed to locate
the boy. Maynard Hadley,
owner of the service station
and captain of the Central
Point rural fire protection dis
trict, notified authorities, then
returned to Hoover lake with
Timmerman. Hadley searched
for about 30 minutes.
Aiding in the search for the
body were men from Jackson
county sheriff's office, the
rural fire protection district
and the Central Point fire de
partment. Five skindivers, including
Sheriff Joe Walsh, worked in
shifts for nearly two hours
probing the muddy bottom of
the lake. The divers said the
mud made it impossible to
see anything below the sur
face of the lake.
At 5:10 p.m., Allan Bishop,
a member of the fire protec
tion district, found the boy's
body in approximately 25
feet of water.

main speaker at ceremonies
dedicating plaques for the
Army, Navy, Marines and Air
Force at the cemetery. Names
of servicemen buried at Hill

on the plaque designating the

served.
General Prentice quoted at
length from Gen. William S.
Dean, who was a prisoner of
the Communists during the
fighting in Korea. General
Dean was quoted as saying
the exchange of prisoners at
Panmunjom was only a com
ma in the Communist pro
gram which will go on until
the world is conquered. It is
obvious that the so-called
slaves of communism are
willing to fight for a better
world for themselves and for
us. They are not the sub
human robots as sometimes
pictured, Prentice quoted
Dean as warning America.
Life Too Soft
The Communists are a well
trained and tenacious foe.
They conclude that our way
of life is making us too soft
for . the reality of the hard
world in which we live, it
was stated. They are trying
to speed up the process of our
deterioration with subversion,
General Prentice warned.
Prentice quoted from
Dmitri Manuilski, a Com
munist teacher, who said "the
time of conquest will come in
20 to 30 years. We will need
the ultimate of surprise. The
bourgeoise will have to be
put to sleep so we will begin
by launching the most spec
tacular peace offensive on
record. They will rejoice in
cooperation for their own de
struction. As soon as their
guard is down, we shall strike
them with a clenched fist."
The speaker said that Amer
icans must rededicate them
selves to preserve the freedom
of the country and the indi
vidual. The time is past when
we can prepare for war after
attack, Prentice warned, say
ing that there is a greater
awareness o f preparedness
now, than at any time in the
nation's history.

Safety Workers
Fear New Record;
Ohio Tops Nation
More Than Four
Per Hour Counted
By United Press International
The nation's holiday traffic
death toll climbed at a rate
of more than four an hour
today and safety workers fear
ed the total for the Memorial
Day week end would soar to
a new record.
State police said this
morning no traffic acci
dents, "fatalities or other
wise," have been reported
to them during the three
day Memorial Day holiday
so far.
Traffic was heavy Friday
night, all day Saturday and
Saturday night. It thinned
out Sunday night, but is ex
pected to become heavy
again this afternoon and to
night as vacationers return
home.
A National Safety Council
spokesman said he feared that
as motorists head homeward
tonight after week end out
ings thpre will be more trag
edies like the crash near Cam
bridge, Ohio, early today
which kiiied six servicemen,
apparently on a holiday week
end leave.
Planes Claim Two
A United Press Internation
al count at 9 a.m. (p.s.t.) show
ed 281 traffic dealhs-18 more
than at the same hour two
years ago. Two died in plane
crashes, 68 drowned, and 57
died in miscellaneous mishaps
for an over-all total of 408.
Ohio led the country in the
number of traffic deaths with
26. New York had 20, Cali
fornia and North Carolina 17,
Alabama 16, Michigan 15 and
Illinois, Indiana and Pennsyl
vania 13.
375 Deaths Estimated
At Chicago, the National
Safety Council had estimated
375 persons would die in traf
fic during the holiday period

OREGON, MONDAY, MAY
IPear Crop
Is 2,400.000 Boxes
Medford's pear crop this
year will be about 2,400,000
boxes, according "to Clifford
B. Cordy, county horticultural
agent.
This is about 600,000 boxes
short of, the average for the
last five years, but slightly
better than last year, Cordy
said. Main reason for the re
duced tonnage was frost
which occurred the morning
of April 16, he added. Some
further reduction from frost
occurred on the morning of
April 22. .
"From the pollination
standpoint the blooming sea
son was poor," the horticul
turist said. "D'Anjous came
into bloom during a period
of good weather in latter
March. Because of that they
were pretty well pollinized.
The yield will be good, ex
cept where the crop has been
damaged by frost. D'Anjou
production will be normal
and will exceed last year's
production by 20 per cent
because of this good yield in
healed orchards," Cordy fore
cast. Barilett Orchards
The Bartlett orchards
bloomed late and have a mix
ture of large and small fruits.
The large ones originate from
early blossoms and are well
seeded, Cordy explained. The
small ones came from later
blooms and most of them are
seedless.

Jackson County School Districts Will Receive
$236,246.53 as Share of Basic School Support Money
Jackson county school dis
tricts will receive $23, 240,53
for the 1900-61 school year ae
the county's share of the basic
school support money, appro
priated by the state legisla
ture. The announcement was
made by County Treasurer
Karl L. Janouch.
The money is distributed
on the basis of $105 per cen
sus child, 80 per cent of which
is a flat grant and 20 per cent
according to an equalized for
mula and need, according to
County School Superintend
ent Alf B. Mekvold.

Estimate
"It is still possible a good
percentage of the smaller
Bartletls will yet fall," the
horticultural agent said. "If
they stick and mature, the
Bartlett crop may exceed the
estimate. If most of them fall
we may be short of the esti
mate.
The Bosc crop is also rather
spotty, Cordy noted, with
some orchards having an ex
cellent crop. But many or
chards have only a fair to
poor crop. This variety seems
to have been marked by frost
more than others, Cordy said.
However, since the Bosc is
a russet pear it can tolerate
more frost marking than oth
er varieties. So, many of the
frost marked fruits will ap
pear normal.
Some, however, will be too
colored and others will be
misshappen. Again the crop
production will depend on
how these frost-marked fruits
develop during the rest of
the season. .
Cornice Crop
"Cornice had a good bloom
and we should have had an
excellent crop," Cordy re
marked. "However, Cornice is
very touchy about fruit set,
even in good seasons and this
year the set in most orchards
was rather light."
The percentage of bloom
which produces fruit deter
mines the fruit set.
The minor varieties as
Seckcl, P. Barry and Pack
hams, generally have good
crops with Scckels having an
extremely heavy setting. The
heavy Seckcls set will re
quire severe thinning to en
courage remaining fruits to
reach sufficient size to satisfy
the best market demand,
Cordy concluded.
and Phoenix, which have
been consolidated and reor
ganized into new Phoenix
administrative district, will
receive $22,331
Other districts and amounts
they will receive are Ashland,
$63,962.56; Central Point,

and Plnehurst apparently will
not receieve this tax offset
money since no money is list
ed for them, it was reported.
The 1957 legislature first
raised the appropriation from
$80 to $95 per -census child.
Then, in the special Session
the fund was raised another
$10 per census child to $105,
Mekvold explained.
However both the regular
and special session bills pass
ed after the various school dis
tricts had adopted their budg
ets. The budgets were based
on $80 per census child. Orig
inal purpose of the tax offset
was that the Increase in the
basic school support fund
could be reflected in the 1957
58 ichool year.
Foreign Plane
In Soviet Skies
Would Be Trigger
Decision Said
Lawful Matter
Moscow - diPD - Soviet De
fense Minister Rodion Mali
novsky said today Russia rt
rocket forces would attack;
any base from which a plana
takes off and intrudes upon
Soviet air space.
He said that modern radio
equipment can determine
with precision when a plana
takes off, follow its flight and
locate its landing. Thus no na.
tion can evade responsibility
if it is involved, he said.
Outline of Potential
Malinovsky announced the
order in an outline of Russia's
defense potential at a confer
ence in the Kremlin.
Washington (UPI) U.S. .
officials had no immediate
comment today on the re
ported order of Soviet De
fense Minister Rodion Mai,
inovsky that Russian rocket
forces would attack any
base if it is used by a plana
to violate Soviet air space.
Most key government
agencies such as the Slata
and Defense departments,
because of the Memorial
Day holiday, were manned
by skelton staffs. A spokes
man at the State Depart
ment said no immediate
comment was expected.
Premier Nikita Khrushchev
attended the session.
Malinovsky said he had or
dered the commander of So
viet rocket forces "to strike
at a base from which a plane
would take off and violate the
air space of the U.S.S.R."
Tass said the defense min
ister insisted it was a lawful
decision because it could not
be known what an intruding
plane might be carrying. ,
"It might be armed with a
hydrogen bomb," he said.
He said the Soviet Union
had all it needed to strike
such a retaliatory blow "at a
political satellite and at a
leader no matter behind
which ocean they were hid
ing."
Refers to U2 Incident
"This is not a threat, but a
warning," he said.
Malinovsky referred to the)
incident of the U2 spy plane
shot down over Russia May 1
"d ,said wf.stern Pw e f'
siles.
He said Soviet rockets
could hit a target "much high
er ' than 65.UU0 ieet at wnicn
a U2 can fly. He said there
was no plane with such a high
ceiling "as to be unreachable
for our rockets."

The state department of ed

from the increase In the basic
school support fund and cer
tify that increase to the varL.

reflected increase would be

not have reduced tax leviea
for that year, Mekvold said. -Jo
make it more confusing,
this provision of the law has
not been changed. This means
now that the districts get a
portion of the basic school
fund directly and can use it
as a receipt In their budgets.
Thesother portion is certified
directly to the county treasure
