(UPI Telephoto) Starlings Blamed In Airliner Crash; 61 Persons Perish Boston - IDPlfi- A huge flock of migrating starlings may have caused an Eastern Air Lines crash that tobk 61 lives Tuesday night, Elwood R. .Quesada, administrator of the federal aviation agency, said today. He told newsmen the birds might have been sucked into some of the four turbo-prop engines, knocking them out of action instantly. Quesada said he had inspect- Court Calls for Building Plans Medford Architect Jack Ed son will be asked to submit preliminary plans and cost estimates for construction of an all purpose building on the county fair grounds to house the county extension offices, the county court decided yes terday afternoon. . A preliminary sketch placed the building next to the Maple Grove park and be tween the fair buildings at the fairgrounds south of Med ford. The "L" shaped building will house 10 offices in one section, hr ? a patio-type rest area in the center and an auditorium with stage and ad joining large conference rooms in the other section. County Horticultural agent, Clifford B. Cordy, who is also chairman of the extension of fice here, said the new build ing would relieve the crowded extension offices on the first floor of the main courthouse building, would relieve the crowded courthouse parking area and make county exten sion offices more accessible to farmers and the general pub lic. The fairgrounds provide a central location, he said.

He said he called in an ornithologist who said the birds had died sometime Tues day evening. All evidence in dicated that the starlings had been caught in the engines disrupting airflow and caus ing a "flame-out," he said. Dropped Into Bay The plane crashed moments after leaving the runaway and plummeted into Winthrop bay. There were 72 persons aboard and 61 were dead or missing. Quesada said he did not plan to ground the 126 other Electras now in service be cause there was no evidence as yet that the Boston crash was caused by a structural de fect. Beyond Reach of Divers By early afternoon all but three of the 61 bodies had been recovered. Those still missing were believed to be beyond the reach of skin divers in the wreckage of the main fuselage section. It was the fifth crash of a Lockheed Electra in the past 20 months.

"Let's Pick A Date After Which Neither One Of Us Will Discuss Religion" GOP Accused of Illegal Practices In Local Drive County Clerk Marvin Mad den today . accused Jackson county Republicans of illegal practices in their voter regis tration drive. Specifically he said tele phone and house to house registration soliciting has been carried on illegally. Any registrars found con ducting the house to house registration solicitation will be dropped as official voter registrars, he said. And unless the Republicans drop a certain method of soli citing Republican registra tions by telephone, the matter will be referred to District At torney Thomas J. Reeder, Madden said. Madden declared he has good information that Re publicans are conducting a "voter registration survey" by telephone. A county resident is asked what party he be longs to, and if it's the Demo cratic party, the solicitators hang up, Madden said. If the answer is Republican, then the voter is urged to register if he hasn't already, the clerk said. Using Subterfuge This is illegal because it is using subterfuge, Madden stated. He quoted from a state law which says that "any per son is guilty of corrupt prac tices if he is guilty of using undue influence to induce such electors to register or re frain from registering." No registrar, under state law, is allowed to solicit reg istrations and voter registra tions cannot be solicited frqm members of Just one party, the county clerk declared. This also applies to telephone soli citations, Madden added. Sheriff Joe Walsh, chair man of the Jackson County Tests Completed AtPowerplant Tests completed yesterday at the Green Springs power plant in the Talent Irrigation project were "satisfactory, generally speaking,", a bureau of reclamation official here reported. Tests were started Thursday by Richard Krueger, engineer from the bureau s Denver, Colo., office. The plant was tested by injecting a salt so lution in the penstock by the surge tank and electronically checking the velocity of the water. This was coupled with exact measurements of the diameter of the pipe and exact quantity of water in the power plant, the official explained. Various instruments checked the elec trical output and the net head of water on the turbine. These factors determined the ef ficiency of the turbine. Precise results of the tests' are not yet known since the data must be collected and the report made at a later date, it was explained. The 16,000 kilowatts of power produced by the plant will be sold to California Oregon Power company. This is equivalent to 21,000 horse power, the bureau official said. Tribune Republican Central commit tee, emphatically denied the charges and angrily said he would talk to Madden. As of yesterday, the offi cial Jackson county voter reg istration gave the Democrats an 814 lead over the Republi cans. The Republicans yester day had a current total of 17, 386 persons registered and the Democrats 18,200. The inde pendents totalled 871. Overall registration total yesterday was 36,457.

Polio clinics will be held Saturday, Oct. 8, between 2 and 6 p.m. in eight locations in Jackson county, the Med ford Junior Chamber of Com merce has announced. The clinics are being spon sored by the Jaycees in Med ford, Eagle Point and Central Point in cooperation with the Jackson County Med.ical So ciety and the Jackson county health department.

E. Haydal, Medford, gen eral chairman of the project. Chargei Scheduled Charges of $1 per person or S3 per family will be made, Haydal said, but he added that those who are un able to pay for the shots will receive the innoculation any way. He said any person, no matter where he lives, may receive a shot at any one of the locations.

The council heard a report by Dr. Christian Hald, chair man of the Lincoln PTA, ask ing for council action remedy ing dangerous traffic condi tion iring school hours at ' intersection of Beach, Morris, Iowa and Boulevard sts. Hald said the PTA felt that present traffic control de vices were inadequate during the time children from Lin coln school were crossing the intersections. The council moved to have a police officer placed at the icrsection during crossing iU!rs.

Monroe Sweetland, D e m o- cratic nominee for secretary of state, said today physicians in Oregon were being solicited for $50 each fur the campaign of his Republican rival, Howell Appling Jr., because Appling opposes the Forand Bill to provide medical care for the aged. In Salem, Appling said he has not asked doctors to kick in $50 apiece to his campaign. I have no knowledge of what the doctors are doing," he said. Supports Principles Sweetland told a Lions Club luncheon he supports the Forand Bill's principles and believed it essential that eld erly persons with low incomes be provided health insurance through the established social security system. He said "My opponent for secretary of state calls the Forand Bill 'fool ish'." Appling said he was "strongly in favor" of pro viding medical care to those who are unable to provide it for themselves. But he added, I do not favor heaping addi tional taxation on marginal income earners who are bare ly able to take care of their own needs in order to provide free medical care to retired millionaires, as my opponent does. Nixon, Kennedy Suggested in Talks " United Nations, N.Y. - (DPD Saudi Arabia suggested today that a five - power neutral resolution calling frr an Ei senhower - Khrushchev meet ing could bring in Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy for such talks. The suggestion was made by Saudi Arabian Minister of State Ahmad Shukairy during General Assembly debate on the resolution and an Aus tralian amendment suggesting instead a Big Four summit talk at "the earliest practi cable date." Shukairy, who often acts as a spokesman for the Arab countries, said the "renewed contacts" sought by the neu trals need not be limited to Eisenhower but that he "could be aided by both Vice Presi dent Nixon and Senator Ken nedy. The five-power resolu tion does not preclude this." Thornton Replies To Support Lack Salem - (UPI) - Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton re plied today to his failure to receive the official endorse ment of Labor's Committee o n Political Education (COPE). Thornton, seeking reelec tion, said "I know that there are a goodly number of rank and file trade union members as well as labor leaders who believe that labor has been treated fairly by the attorney general's office during the past Ti years." COPE this week endorsed all state Democratic candi dates with the exception of Thornton. the problem as it may affect other elementary schools to the traffic committee. In other action, the council set Oct. 18 as the date for a public hearing on curbing and paying Mary Jane ave. An ordinance calling for vacation of the corner of In diana d Ashland sts. was passed. The corner will be paved, and the intersection widened. Jack Pumphrey, coowncr of the Mark Antony hotel, pre sented a proposal to council men calling for removal of one parking meter in front of the hotel on Main St. Pumphrey said the meter was hindering convenient passen ger unloading. Councilmen agreed with Pumphrey and ordered the parking meter removed. FACE CUTS OFF LATE RALLY FOR 6 TO 4 VICTORY Pitisburgh-:tTi-The Pittsburgh Pirates won the opening game of the 1960 World Series today when they shut off a desperate ninth-inning rally by the New York Yankees to win, 6-4, on some daring base running and Bill Mazeroski's two-run homer. A crowd of 36,676 at Forbes Field watched relief pitcher Elroy Face induce Hector Lopez of the Yankees to hit into a game-ending double play after Elstron Howard had hit a pinch two-run homer that narrowed the Pirates' lead to two runs. Victory Saved for Vern Law Face's relief job saved the victory for starter Vern Law, who was knocked out of the box in the eighth when the first two Yankee batters hit singles. Face pitched his way out of that jam but ran into trouble in the ninth when he yielded a leadoff single to Gil MacDougald and Howard's pinch homer. The Pirates, who stole fewer bases than any team in the National League this season, threw the favored Yankees off balance in the first inning when they stole two bases during a throe-run outburst that drove out New York starter Art Diimar. Then, after the Yankees had narrowed Pittsburgh's lead to 3-2 with a run in the top of the fourth, Mazeroski hit a 2-0 pitch by reliever Jim Coates over the left field score board following a walk to Don Hoak. That blow drove in what eventually proved to be the winning run. Play-by-play: Yankees first.: 1 Kubck singled. Lopez grounded into b double play. Maris hit a home run. Mantle filed to Virrion.
