Pittsburg 3-2 Lead ii?Wor! o eoes Regional Edition Medford 18 Pages Number of Jobless Decreases 400,000 Above Normal ' Improvements I In September Seasonal Pickups ' In Retail Trade l Washington - (DPI) - Unem- f ployment fell by 400,000 In i September to 3,338,000, a bet- ter than normal improvement over August, the Labor De- j partment reported today. :t The number of Americans ; with jobs dropped by 515,000 .! from the August level. But , the September employment to- tal of 67,767,000 still was a record for the month. Normally, the department said, the number of job hold j ers would have dropped about 750,000 in September. 4 The department said the relatively favorable trend in both unemployment and em ployment reflected recalls to work of auto workers who had been laid off in August while the industry geared for model changeovers. Construction Declines Seasonal pickups also were reported in retail trade. On the other hand, there was an autumn cutback in employ- , ment in construction activity. Despite the step-up in auto J output, manufacturing em- J ployment as a whole ?rose by only 60,000 in September, a "below average" gain, accord ing to the department. Partly explaining this was a further decline in employ ment at steel mills, where i some 140,000 workers have been laid off since February. Jobless Hate Down The decline in unemploy ment pushed down the jobless rate from 5.9 per cent in Au gust to 5.7 per cent in Septem ber. The department said this was the second highest rate this year. It meant that 57 of every 1,000 persons in the labor force were out of work and seeking a job in September. Democratic National Chair man Henry M. Jackson said i in advance of the report that i Americans "should not be fooled" by a drop in the sea- ; sonally adjusted rate of unem ployment. Man Accidentally Shot While Hunting .: Pat A. Finney, 41, of route 3, box 169R, Medford, was re ported in fair condition at Rogue Valley hospital today after being accidentally shot in a hunting accident Satur day. I A bullet fired by Clarence Willard Johnson, 2355 Rob erts rd., Medford, accidentally hit Finney's rifle and splat tered lead. Bullet fragments hit him in the center of his right side. ;j Johnson, who reported the accident to the sheriff's office, said both men were hunting on the west slope of Roxy 'Ann mountain east of Med ford when the accident oc curred.

'.;. Guinea President Blames Confusion In Congo United Nations. N.Y. - IUPII - President S e k o u Toure of Guinea blamed the United Nations today for the con fusion in the Congo and said this had helped the worst enemies of freedom. The Moscow - trained Afri can said the United States has taken away from peace and security more than it has supplied to it" in The Congo. He followed the Soviet Union in demanding United Nations support for leftist Premier Patrice Lumumba, now in the middle of another attempt to regain power in The Congo. "It is impossible not to place the United Nations- in the center of responsibility for the confusion created in The Congo," Toure said. Supports Khrushchev Toure generally supported Premier Nikita Khrushchev's policy line. The Negro leader, wearing the ceremonial robes of Guinea, one of the most pow erful new nations in Africa, called for the proclamation of "immediate and general inde pendence" for oppressed coun tries. "There are no inferior peo ples," he said. "With equal force, we condemn exploita tion and domination as well as a feeling of superiority." Toure, a recent visitor to Moscow and Peiping, and con- Located End Searches Suffering from cold, fatigue and possibly infection, she was, carried out on a stretcher by John Creel and Bob Bow en, of the Jackson county sheriff's reserve.

This item is scheduled for discussion at tonight's county parks and recreation commis sion meeting in the Medford city hall council chambers.

H. Bengtson Affidavit Filed Regarding Records The trial of O. H. Bengtson, Medford lawyer, on charges of embezzlement got under way this morning in Jackson conn ty circuit court. Circuit Judge Orval J. Mil lard, Grants Pass, is presiding over the jury trial. Examina tion of the jury was expected to take most of the morning. Richard R. Carney, Portland lawyer, and Robert A. Boyer, Mealord lawyer, are repre senting Bengtson. Deputy Dis trict Attorneys Gerald Scan- nell and Brian Mullen are rep resenting the stale. Questioning of eight women and four men under jury ex amination this morning re vealed it may be a long and involved trial. Bengtson is charged with the embezzlement of $3,701.14 from the Medford Escrow company Oct. 21, 1959 while he was an officer of the com pany. Originally, Rachel Peter son Carter, Jacksonville, sec retary of the Medford Escrow company, was indicted on the same charge. However the in dictment has since been set aside. She is now charged with embezzling $224 from the company, according to a later indictment. No trial date has been set. She pleaded in nocent to the charges last week. . An event before the trial indicated It will be a hotly contested one between the two sets of attorneys. Earlier at torneys and certified public accountants working for Bengtson were not allowed to continue an inspection of rec ords which the district at torney's office will use as evidence, according to. a sworn affidavit entered by Boyer, one of Bengston's at torneys. On Sept. 23, Boyer received a court order to allow inspec tion of all books, records, and accounts of Medford Escrow company dated Jan. 1, 1957 through May 31, 1960 "in the care, custody, possession or under the control" of the dis trict attorney's office. Boyer charged in his affi davit that accountants were allowed access to the records in question after a series of delays by Scannell and that on Sept. 21 the district attorney s office denied Bengtson's at torneys and CPA's any further right to inspect the records. Scannell stated that he was denying access "principally because any further inspec tion is going to be conditional upon the defendant producing personal records of his office for inspection and that the CPAs were making certain small check marks on the duplicate check vouchers they were auditing," according to Boyer's affidavit.

He reported that negotia tions have been virtually com pleted between Radio Med ford Inc., licensee for KMED, TOT Industries Inc., and Med ford Telecasting. TOT Industries and Med ford Telecasting are expected to submit motions to the fed eral communications commis sion this week to dismiss their applications in favor of Radio Medford, he said. Johnson explained that this development could mean a considerably .earlier starting date for Channel 10 than oth erwise possible. The FCC will now formally examine Radio Medford's application and if it meets all qualifications granting of the channel will follow. The local manager added that the company plans to be gin construction of the new television station as soon as the construction permit has been awarded. Completion is expected to take 120 days.
