PAINTING CRUSADE Two members of
the local Painter's union are shown pre
paring to paint the offices of the United
Medford Crusade. With the cooperation of
local paint companies and distributors, the
project Saturday was done at cost-price,
with the remaining costs being paid by vari
ous UMC board members. Baker's Paint
company and Midcoat painters loaned
equipment for the job. Shown above are
Bill Hartung (left) and Jack Miller, Union
members. Other participants were Roy Dell,
union business agent, Victor Medcalf, Orval
White, Bob Emery, and David Conner. Mrs.
Scott Davis, chairman of the UMC staff and
office committee, initiated and supervised
the project. The offices have needed paint
ing for some time and the "face lifting"
may reflect the "efficient' and the 'new
look' Hal Gardner is giving the UMC cam
paign," Mrs. Davis emphasized.

BY UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Washington A U. S. note to the Kremlin warning Russia
gainst shooting down any more Amerian planes over in
ternational waters:
"It should be dtar to the Soviet government that a
repetition of acts of this natura cannot fail to have the most
teriout consequences, responsibility for which would rest
upon the Soviet government alone."
Los Angeles Adlai E. Stevenson, addressing the Dem
ocratic convention after being almost mobbed in a tumultuous
reception for him:
"I've decided who you are going to nominate it will be
the last survivor."
Los Angeles Robert Kennedy, brother of the senator,
denying that a wild welcome given Adlai E. Stevenson at the
Democratic convention was a sign of Stevenson's delegate
strength:
"Each of the candidates who comes into the arena for
the first sun would receive the same kind of reception."

Fair Commission
Denies Request
Salem -flJPH- Another chap
ter in the battle between mod
ern and traditional artists ex
hibiting at the Oregon State
Fair was written Tuesday be
fore the Oregon Fair Commission.
The commission denied
request by members of Ar
tists Equity Association of
Oregon - the moderns - to
consider rehiring Mrs. Laneta
King, Salem, as head of the
Fair Art Show.
Commission Chairman Ur-
sel Narver, Portland, said Mrs,
King, who resigned in May
over the art squabble, left of
her own accord.
Narver also said that her
successor, Ronald Neperud of
Eugene, is doing a "capable
lob."
Association spokesmen said
It might be a good idea next
year to have two separate
shows at the fair, one for ab
stract and another for realist
art. The commission has taken
no action on this but has dis
cussed it, This year's contro
versy stemmed from tradition
alist claims that the modern
artists were taking over the
snow.

Soothes Senator
Los Angeles (UPD Sen
Thomas J. Dodd of Connecti
cut charged Democratic Chair
man Paul Butler was respon
sible for a plank left out of
the party platform because of
a "typographical" error.
Dodd's wrath was soothed
somewhat when the conven
tion discovered the "error"
and adopted the plank urging
effort to release Americans
imprisoned by the Red Chi
nese. '
Dodd accused butler of
"rigging" the convention and
implied he was responsible
for the omission.
Dodd also said he was de
nied a chance to address the
delegates from the rostrum
about the subject.
Platform Chairman Chester
Bowles told the delegates that
the item was left out because
of an error. Other platform
committee workers said the
same thing.
Butler denied he was re
sponsible and added that Dodd
had not spoken to him about
getting recognition to address
the convention,
"I had no direct communi
cation from Dodd," Butler
said.
Rocket Failure
Brings Valuable
Information
Washington-flOT-The Army
announced today that a five
stage rocket launched from
the Virginia coast failed to
reach its intended speed and
height but produced valuable
information for scientists.
The Strongarm rocket was
launched from Wallops Is
land, Va., in an experiment to
measure upper atmosphere
electron densities.
The Army's Proving
Ground at Aberdeen, Md.,
had pointed out that the rock
et was to fly at altitudes
where intercontinental ballis
tic missiles and antimissile
missiles would operate.
Altitude Withheld
The Army here did not say
what altitude was achieved in
today's flight. It said it could
not yet say what caused the
technical difficulties . which
made the flight fall short-
But "the altitude was suffi
cient to produce data of value
to the objectives of the experiment."
The five-stage rocket was
intended to reach altitudes
above 200 miles. The Army
had hoped it would climb as
high as 1,100 miles. It was in
tended to reach a top speed of
17,000 feet per second.
Carried Instruments
The rocket, Strongarm
Three, carried instruments to
measure electron densities.
Strongarm Three consisted
of an Army Honest John
rocket, two Nlke-Ajax boost
ers, a modified Air Force Re
cruit, and a scaled down Ser
geant missile.
The firing was one of a
number of projects planned
in connection with the U.S.
program for the International
Geophysical Year in 1960,
Findings will be made avail
able to all nations participat
ing in the program, including
the Soviet Union.

Hungarian Near
Death in Clash
With Policeman
Union, N. J. IUPD - A high
living Hungarian refugee,
hunted for murdering two po
licemen and suspected of the
wanton slaying of four oth
er persons, 1 a y critically
wounded today from a gun
duel with police.
Michael Fekecs, 25. a self
styled Hungarian freedom
fighter, tried to shoot it out
in face-to-face duel with po
lice Tuesday night and lost.
He fell with . a slug in his
head from the gun of sharp
shooting Patrolman Walter
Leamy.
Apparent Victim
Leamy, 36, a former com
bat Marine, apparently was
the only intended victim of
Fekecs who had the chance
to shoot back.
"It was either myself or
him," Leamy said. "He start
ed to fire and I returned the
fire."
Fekecs, who liked expen
sive cars, clothes and jazz,
had been sought along the
Eastern Seaboard since Sun
day when the bodies of two
Franklin Township, N. J., po
lice officers were found in
his apartment in Highland
Park.
Authorities said ballistics
tests showed that .32 caliber
slugs taken from the police
men's bodies matched those
found in the bodies of four
people, including three wom
en, who were massacred on
the estate of Dr. Francis M.
Clarke, in New Brunswick,
last Jan. 26.
Similarities Cited
Investigators also cited
s i m i 1 a rities between the
Clarke murders and the cop-
killings. All the victims had
been shot in the head with
.32 caliber bullets. All the
bodies were neatly arranged.
The locations of the slayings,
New Brunswick and High
land Park, are less than five
miles apart.

gency surgery at Elizabeth
General hospital T u e sday
night. Hospital officials said
he was not expected to live.

OBSERVE HITLER PLOT
Bonn, Germany (UPD - Gen.
Axdolf Heusinger has appeal
ed to all branches of the
West German armed forces
to observe the anniversary of
the 1944 officers' plot against
Hitler in an "honorable way."
Heusinger, Inspector general
of the armed forces, said thnt
the individual units would
determine their own observ
ance of the anniversary July
20.
bulletin concerning such
offers was issued utter a na
tionwide investigation of in
creasingly prevalent advertis
ing of "two gallons of paint
tor the price of one."
Tho bureau noted that sev
eral pnint businesses nrc offer
ing two gallons for the price
of one, or for the price of one
and one cent as their usual
method of selling paint.
The bureau, tho bulletin
noted, believes that "public
understanding of 'two-for-one-
salcs' is that, for a limited
time, two articles are being
offered for the usual price at
which one has been sold, as
a single unit, in the recent
regular course of business."
Usual Method
However, if the usual
method of selling Is always by
two units, and the firm Im
plys that the price Is for one
and the other "free," the bu
reau believes such a transac
tion is fallacious, the bulletin
noted.
"Such a scheme litis tho
tendency and capacity to mis
lend and deceive the trusting
and the gullible and to divert
trade unfairly from those who
do not use such pricing
methods," the bureau said.
The bureau recommended
that such offers be made for
limited times only, and that
businesses, which offer two
items regularly tor a single
price, avoid the use of such
terms as "two for one sale,
and buy one - get one free."
Mustard Gas
Victim Sought
Aberdeen, N.C. -IUPD- A boy
who tried to burglarize a
chemical plant here may be
dying in agony today.
He may already be dead.
Police do not know who or
where he is.
The boy, believed to be be
tween 14 and 17 years old,
broke into the Olin-Mathieson
Chemical Corp. plant some
time during the past week
end. He walked barefooted
across the plant floor, un
aware that the floor was cov
ered with deadly mustard gas
powder used in the manufac
t u r e of insecticides and
sprays.
Plant employees, who wear
rubber boots and protective
clothing, discovered the foot
prints Monday. A search be
gan immediately and radio
stations began broadcasting
appeals to the boy to surrend
er and receive medical treat
ment. Mustard gas, used with
deadly effect in World War I,
enters the bloodstream
through pores in the skin.
Plant Manager Robert T.
Brock said a person exposed
to the powder could live from
three to five days without
medical treatment.
Nikita Seeks
Havana - IUPD- Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev is an
gling for an Invitation to visit
at least one other Latin
American nation before he
sets a definite date for his
Cuban visit, diplomatic
sources said today.
Cuban officials recently re
turned from tours behind the
Iron Curtain have been say
ing Khrushchev would take
up Premier Fidel Castro's In
vitation to visit Havana soon,
possibly during the July 26
celebrations of the revolution
movement.
However, the sources
thought it likely the Russian
leader wanted to have at least
one more Latin American cap
ital on his Itinerary before
undertaking such a long trip.
He indicated this himself re
cently by telling Western
newsmen In Moscow that he
would like to visit the South
American continent some day,
but had not yet been asked.
In the past few days, gov
ernment controlled n e w s
papcrs, labor unions and oth
er organizations have been
showering Khrushchev with
telegrams of thanks for his
promise to protect Cuba in Its
dispute with the United States.

who figured In investigations
of the International Guaran
ty and Insurance Company of

e r a 1 authorities Tuesday
night on charges of mail
fraud and using a fictitious
name In a mall fraud scheme.

tody under an indictment re
turned by the federal grand

of the two counts carries a
maximum penalty of five
years imprisonment and a
$1)000 fine.
Assistant U. S. Attorney
Donald B. Constlne recom
mended that bail be set at

New York in 1959 disclosed
wide-spread involvement of
the Tangier company In U.S.

der," who could not be identified.

employee of Hopps, told a
California insurance commis
sion hearing that she and
Hopps' son Robert frequent

number of suits to recover
insurance losses, among them
a $15 million suit filed in
Austin, Tex.
