The B-58, 1 which can fly at possibly twice the speed of sound, car ries three men. The names of the victims had not been released. Leiland Caddell of Ralls, Tex., and three other men said they saw two men bail out of the plane at high altjj'.ide, but they were deal when they reached them. Loud Explosion "We heard an explosion like funny sounding thunder," Caddell said. He said he and C. M. Woodard. Glen Slater and Thurman Flowers were playing dominoes at Uie Cap Rock Com .unity gin. It was thundering and raining at the time. They got into Caddy's car and rushed toward the ex plosion. As they ncared the spot where one o" the men fell, Caddell said they saw another 'chutist fall about 150 yards away. v "The second man hit the ground, rolled and the wind dragged him a good distance," Caddell said. "The first mi was dead when we got there. I don't have any idea what killed him," Caddell said. He said the two bodies were intact but were crushed and broken. The bodies fell about four miles northwest of the spot where the plane crashed. It was the seventh fatal crash of a B-58 since the planes have been in operation. The last B-58 to crash was on April 22 when two men died and one survived in a crash into the great Salt LakiSlnea Salt Lake Citv. The 43rd B-58 is now on tSe production line at Convair.

Appointment Story Error Corrected Leland Knox, Medford cer tified public accountant, was appointed receiver of eMed ford Escrow Co., Inc., at the request of the corporation's secretarly, O. H. Benglson, who also is a minority share holder in the company. In anstory which appeared in Friday's Mail Tribune, it was incorrectly reported that Knox was appointed "de spite" the request by Beng tson that he be appointed. Bengtson had filed the com plaint asking that a receiver be named, and declaring the company is now insolvent. The action was taken by Bengtson as a minority share holder and as secretary.' and for the benefit of the creditors of the corporation and all persons who are parlies to escrow contracts now held by the company.

BY DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Spfrts Editor Multnomah Stadium, Portland - Th Medford High school Black Tornado captured its third major team championship of th 1959-60 school year last night by taking the Oregon Class A-l Baseball crown. The Tornado defeated Park rose 3-1 in the champion ship game here. Medford had to come from behind to win. Parkrose open ed the game with a run in the first inning. Medford got its first run in the fourth in ning on a towering home run wor the left field wall by power-hitting Lowell Dean. It was a high fly that traveled some 330 feet to get out of the park. 3 Straight Hits Medford picked up two runs in the sixth inning which were the margin of victory. They came on three hits, a long triple to center by Cal vin Dean, a double against the left field wall by Ken Jensen, and a ground single thftugh second base to center field by Lowell Dean, giving Lowell his second run batted in for the night. Parkrose had big opportun ities to score in the fourth and sixth innings. In the fourth Lawry Jacoby tripled to center field. The Bronchos attempted' to squeeze Jacoby home but batter Dave Champ man missed the ball on the attempted bunt and Jacob? was tagged out at the plate by catcher Ken Jensen. In the sixth inning Park rose loaded the bases. Dave Beatkey was hit hy a pitch and was forced oui by Lynn Amman at second base. Then Larry ,Khulman singled and Bud hill singled to load the bases with one out. On Hill's hit a fine throw from the out field by rightfielder Mike Parsons prevented a run scor ing. Anderson Goe? Distance Medford pitcher Jerry An derson the: struck o-,t the next two batters to strike out tne side. Anderson pitched six -hit ball for the Black Tornado, struck out seven and l't one batter, issuing no walks. The Parkrose starting pitch er John Mahoney, who was the loser, pitched six innings, gave v9 all five Medford hits, struck out six and walked one.

Nfc toV Amacks) Blasted fyy Mcrtcr Washington -(UPD- Secretary of State Christian A. Herter declared Saturday , that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev made his abusive personal at tacks on President Eisenhow er in an attempt to escape blame for shattering the Paris summit conference. In an unusually harsh state ment which had the Presi dent's approval, Herter said: 'All America, I am sure, shares the disgust I feel at the U-temnered attacks emanat- ng from Mr. Khrushchev." The statement categorized Khrushchev's attacks as "vili fication." It said the Kremlin leader's action was a "degreda tion of the standards of inter national relations." It was the first formal Washington response o the massive propaganda campaign against Eisenhower and the United States which Khrush chev launched soon after his return to Moscow from the ill-fated Big Four meeting. It apparently signified be lief by U. S. officials that the United States is in for a long period of bitter assaults from Khrushchev. Khrushchev Lied Eisenhower, who was fly ing to a West Point class- re union when the statement was issued, undoubtedly saw, the Herter declaration in advance, a state department aide said. The White House yesterday said flatly that Khrushchev had lied when he claimed the President had opposed Ger man reunification during their Camp David talks last Sep tember.

Committee ft Problems .Southwest of Gity Limits A committee will investi gate possible solutions to the sewage problem southwest of Medford and report their find ings at a meeting of area resi dents June 1". it was decided during Friday njijht's meeting in the Jackson county court house. Approximately 100 persons unanimously elected Wallace Brill, 75 Lozier lane, as chair man. Others-n a m e d to the committee were Charles F. Hoppe, 305 Lozier lane, Gil bert Johnson, 1320 South Peach St., Herbttt Wilson, 1010 Ross lane, Joye Schwartzlcy, 1150 Janes rd., Bill Childreth, 220 Oak Grove rd., George Plane, 392 Clover lane, and Mrs. Max Wimmor, 1115 West Second St. Hoppe volunteered the services of his wife as secretary. The committee will meet at the Hoppe home at 8 p.m. Tuesday to set its course of action, Mayor John Snider and members of the city council will be invited. One Dissenter Only one person vocally op posed any proposed annexa tion with Medford. Brill said he was concerned that only one person had voiced any op position so the issue could be thoroughly aired. One man commented that all the people attending were there because they wanted to do something about, the problem. Many of the same people who proposed annexation to Medford years ago were in the audience, he pointed out, and annexation then would have been much easier and would have pre vented today's problems. Jack Hoffbuhr, Medford Ir rigation district manager, ssid Moscow sources have revealed that Kru shchev may visit Cuba and Havana sources say China's Premier Chou En-Lai also may visit Cuba. (UPI Radiotelephoto) bitterly anti-U.S." attacks be May proved to be a general-1 infi made bv Cuban President ly disappointing month for employment, according to John J. Patton, manager of the local Oregon Employment Service office. i Heavy rains caused many shutdowns in logging and con struction. I, also slowed down most work, at least as far as new hiring was concerned, Patton added, so that unem ployment compensation claims showed a sma". increase over the previous month. Job ilacements declined and hir ing was very slow during'the last two weeks of the month, the employment service mana ger said. Invest inula people who piped their sew- age into irrigation ditches and laterals were scattered a J 1 over the valley floor. Howev er, he said 95 per cent of them a7e located in the area south' west of Medford. Usually, precipitation wash es down the laterals and ditch- es before the start of the!ri! gallon season, but an unusu ally dry year has allowed the effluent to accumulate, he ex plained. Most of the irrigation ditch es smithwest of Medford have effluent In them, he added, and anyone Irrigating their gardens with water from these ditches and laterals is taking a chance on contacting a dis ease. This situation could per haps start an epidemic, he added. Re.d.r SpeSks District Attorney Thomas J. Rcedcr pointed out that If the area residents Insisted on an nexation the city would be obliged to annex the area. "It's not the intent of this office to throw all residents of your area in Jail for dumping sewage into Irrigation ditch es," Rcder said. "If you are making an honest effort to correct the situation we won't prosecute. However, we are obligated to see that this viola tion doesn't flagrantly contin ue." Rcedcr cautioned the area residents against attempting to solve the problem on their own before the committee has had a chance to work out pos sible solutions. Such indepen dent attempts might mean a needless expense. One man protested that he had moved out of the city to escape regulation. He suggest Castro Trying b Stir 'Distrust SapU.S.Ifete' llis.'trirag teisaagia Washington - (UPD - The) United States, in a blistering note Saturday accused Fidel Castro's rebel Cuban govern ment of continuing a lying campaign of slander" in an effort to stir up "distrust and animosity" against this coun try. Using the angriest lang uage yet employed agranst Wie Castro regime, the nolo contained a nine-point Indict ment of the Cuban premier's actions "to set the record straight." It was handed to the Cuban foreign ministry in Havana by U.S. Ambassador Philip Bonsai. State department officials denied tl'ue was any connec tion between the formal re buke and Friday's announce ment that Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba. But they said the invita tion, which afto was extended to Red Chinese Premier Chou ftn-Lai, was not surprising in view of thg opn Snd growing Communist influence in Cuba o'er Castro. 1'tava.na - Wlu-The Cuban government Saturday night rejected a Unite! States note charging the regime ot Premier Fidel Castro wiih lying and - maintaining si "campaign of slander" ;!.i.w.i! tlx U.S. The department said the hot protest was released at j this time partly because of Oswaldo Dorticos during his I current visit to several Latin I American countries. The note saif bluntly that Castro's "Cuban regime seeks to sow distrust and animosity, . despite its protestations thjit it seeks friendship and un- friendship dcrstanding." It said the United States was renewing "in the strong est way" previous official pro tests against "the utter dis regard for international and Cuban law with which Ameri can property owners in Cuba have been' treated since tha enactment of the (Castro) agrarian reform law."

County Judge Earl Miller callecjhim, Brill said, and of fered his help. However, tho county can do nothing official, ly since it is not able to issue bonds. - Cost High It would gost frm $650,000 to $850,000 for the area to build its own disposal plant. This project would take years to finance, Brill said, adding that "I am not trying to point ou any single solution." . A member of the audienca said lt is to the area residents' own best interests to annex to Medford. Under present sani tation conditions lt is almost impossible to sell or resell homes in the'area, he said. A chairman ot a water dis trict said the problem also limits the number of wells which can be used in the area because of pollution. It only took eight months for residents of Kenwood and Bcrrydale districts to annex to the city once they made up their minds, another person pointed out. Al Bradford, Ward 2 coun cilman, said all' areas coma into the city through annexa 1 1 o n petitions. Contractor's price and engineering f& are the only costs for extending the city sewer system, he said. It cost Bcrrydale residents a total of $4.10,000 he estimated.
