Airplane Wreckage
Located; 14 Killed
Anchorage, Alaska-IUPII-An airline's per
fect record of 29 years of flying over dif
ficult Alaska routes ended Tuesday high
upon the snow-swept slopes of 10,000 foot
Mt. Gilbert.
Six members of the Anchorage Mountain
Rescue Council reached the wreckage of
a Pacific Northern Airlines Constellation
Tuesday night and reported all 14 persons
aboard were dead.
Wreckage Falls Down Slopes
The climbers were flown to a spot on
the mountain 60 miles due east of here.
They hiked a short distance to the crash
fcene and found the wreckage had cascaded
down the caggy slopes from the point of
impact at about the 9,000 foot level. No at
tempt was made to bring out the bodies.
A spokesman for PNA said the airlines
would join federal agencies today in an in
vestigation which may produce the answers
as to why the Constellation failed by a few
hundred feet to clear the mountain. The
wreckage was found several miles north of
Board Supports
Disapproval of
Hazing Policy
Medford's school board
members last night supported
the high school administra
tion's policy of disapproval of
hazing incidents brougt to
the board's attention.
School administrators and
board members discussed re
ports of recent hazing inci
dents involving students who
will be sophomores at Med
ford High school next fall.
Patterned after Initiations
usually found in university
and college social organiza
tions, board members noted
such incidents can result in
bodily harm. They expressed
their concern.
, School officials said that
prior to the close of school
students were warned that no
.intimidations or mishandling
of incoming sophomc.res by
upperclassmen would be con
doned or tolerated.
Subject io Suspension
Students involved in such
Incidents in summer months
or during the school year will
be subject to suspension from
school or from extra curricu
lar activities such as athletics,
school officials said.
The board also was inform
ed that the high school coach
ing staff met with athletes
and stressed the same point.
Administrators said it is not
a general problem here. The
Isolated incidents reported
have been identified with a
relatively small number of
students.
They emphasized that haz
ing is a two-way street, and
that underclassmen should not
be antagonistic, thus inviting
such incidents.

France Calls on
Russia To Study
Arms Control
Gradual Reduction
Of Threat Possible
Geneva-IUPII-France warned
today that the nuclear mili
tary threat can be reduced
only gradually and called on
the Soviets to agree to a de
tailed study of the techniques
ol elimination and control.
Chief French delegate Jules
Moch told the 10-nation dis
armament conference it would
be relatively simple to ar
range now. Weapons of mass
destruction are not yet sent
into outer space orbits, he
said, because such weapons
are not yet in quantity pro
duction. Will Be Difficult
But, he cautioned, it will be
extremely difficult to put un
der international crontrol the
means of nuclear delivery
which are in operation now.
The Soviet Union, Moch
noted, has proposed that all
missiles and other means of
delivery of a nuclear war
head be eliminated within 18
months.
But France, Moch said, be
lieves that missiles can be
eliminated only "progressive
ly and methodicaly."
The process would have to
begin with an international
on-the-slte inspection of all
missile launching sites de
clared by the various govern
ments.
Aerial observations would
be required, Moch added, to
insure no sites other than
those declared were in exist
ence.
Control Posts Needed
' In addition, Moch said,
number of control posts em
ploying electronic and infra
ray equipment, would be re
quired to detect any clande
stine missile launchings
France believes 150 to 250
such posts would be required
International controllers,
he added, also would have to
inspect existing stocks of mis
siles and their places of manu
facture. Control of airplanes and
surface vessels and subma
rines, to insure they were not
secretly armed with nuclear
weapons, Moch said, would
be easier, and probably could
be limited to inspection at
airports, harbors aYid places
of repair.

Residents Discuss
Sewage Disposal
For Jacksonville
Cost Is Question
At Public Meeting
Jacksonville About 30 lol
ca residents met with the
Jacksonville city council in
an informal open meeting last
night to discuss the city's
need for a sewage disposal
system.
No one attending the meet
ing voiced opposition to the
idea. The question boiled
down simply to "How much
will it cost?"
At the conclusion of the
meeting, Mayor E. O. Graham
and the council, with the ap
proval of those attending, de
cided to have a thorough
study of the project made for
discussion at future public
meetings. The study is to in
clude estimated total cost of
the project and estimated
costs to individual home
owners.
Express Desire
Jf a majority of Jackson
ville property holders express
desire for a system, the
council will place the issue on
the Nov. 8 general election
ballot.
A 1956 engineer's study of
the proposal was reviewed at
the meeting, but the council
pointed out that the cost
would have increased consid
erably since that time and
that another type of system
might now be more desirable
Estimated cost of an open
lagoon system four years ago
was between $215,000 and
$250,000 but the current cost
of a similar system would be
close to $300,000.
It was tentatively agreed
that the cost of a sewage dis
posal plant and system would
be paid by all residents
through general obligation
bonds.
Each home owner would
pay the same price for con
necting the sewer pipe to his
property line but cost of
making the connection from
property line to a house
would vary according to dis
tance.
The council also said it
would investigate to see if
any federal funds are avail
able to aid In the project.

Construction Work
On River Bridge
Ahead of
Construction work on 111
Rogue river (Homestead)
bridge and the Grants Pass
to Rock Point sections of
Highway 99 is ahead of sched
ule, according to construction
officials.
Over 300 working days are
still unused by the Pacific
Concrete company of Port
land, the general contractor
for the bridge. It is estimated
that construction will con
tinue into the winter of
1960-61.
Twin concrete spans, with a
box-girder type of construc
tion, will link the two sides
of the Rogue river about
three miles west from Gold
Hill.
The bridge is being con
structed so that each span will
be supported by four concrete
piers in the water area. Over-
II length of the two spans is
is to be 807 and 766 feet, ex
clusive of the overpass which
will carry traffic over what is
now the main Highway 99.
Earth Fill Link
Specifications also call for
an earth fill to link the east
end of the bridge with the
highway overpass.
The west sections of the
bridge, presently the longest,
were built while the river was
crowded toward the main
channel by an earth and rock
dike.
Porcupine Creates
Local Disturbance
A porcupine created a dis

According to officers, Max
Paul Weston, of that address,
called police whe nhe noticed
the animal. He told police he
had tried to capture the ani
mal, but was unable to do so.
Thinking it might be some
one's pet, he didn't want to
kill it.
The police officer caught
"porky" in a barrel, and trans
ported It to the airport where
it was turned loose.

Eisenhower, campaigning for
world peace to defeat the
"evil objectives" of world
Communist leaders, was re
ported tonight to be deter
mined to carry out his visit
to Tokyo where bloody new
leftwing rioting aroused fresh
fears for his safety.
American security officials
here and in Tokyo were deep

demanded that his visit be

apprehensive about the ability
