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

Appointment Story

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.

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.
Medford radded the A-l base
ball championship to the foot
ball title it won last fall and
the basketball crown it col
leoted in March, ending the
greatest year in history for
Midford High school sports.
Seaside won the Oregon
High School class A-2 cham
pionship by defeating Canby,
4-0, behind the three-hit pitch
ing of Duane Heller.

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

Camp David talks last Sep

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.

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.

new hiring was concerned,
Patton added, so that unem

west of Medford.
Usually, precipitation wash

plained.
Most of the irrigation ditch

haps start an epidemic, he
added.

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.

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."

ed tho group find out (.what
help the county could give be
fore turning to annexation.
This would put the area un
der all the city regulations, he
said. He was the lone dissent
er. 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.
This Is spread over all the lots
and acreage, he added.
