Human Error
Given Blame for
Missile Failures
Washington - (UPI) - A study
team from Stanford Research
Institute has warned the Air
Force that human error has
been causing from one-fifth
to one-half of all missile sys
tem malfunctions, a science
publication reported today. ,
The publication - "Wash
ington Science Trends" - said
a large share of the malfunc
tions had been blamed on
such things as "faulty de
sign." Analysis of Reports .
It said the institute, which
is located at Menlo Park, Cal
if., drew its conclusions from
an analysis of 4,248 malfunc
tion reports covering such
missiles at the Atlas, Thor,
Bomarc, Goose, Hound Dog,
Mace, Matador, Titan and
Snark.
"An almost complete break
down of the Air Force failure
reporting system is demon
strated by the Stanford
study," the publication said.
"Although human error is
considered to be the largest
single identifiable cause of
missile malfunctions, this is
not reflected in rcquiraoi.ve,
ports." Guilt Implication Avoided .
The- Stanford study itself
said 'there-was evidence ''to
support the conclusion that
many human-initiated mal
functions are otherwise re
ported in order to avoid any
implications of 'guilt' on the
part of reporting personnel."
In one missile system, which
was not identified, 1,391 mal
functions were reported. "Sci
ence Trends" said the records
show only three labeled as
human errors but the Stan
ford study" indicated the cor
rect, total was at least 322.

Stevenson
Economic
Against Cubans
Portland - (UPD Adlai Ste
venson said Sunday night the
United States may have
strengthened Fidel Castro's
hand in Cuba by imposing
economic sanctions on the
island.
Stevenson told 4,000 persons
at a fund-raising dinner that
the economic embargo "will
no . more overthrow Castro"
than former Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles' economic
sanctions against Egypt over
threw Premier Gamal Nasser
in 1956.
Halloween Dance,
UNICEF Collection
Planned Tonight
Tonight is Halloween and
most children will once again
transform themselves into
ghosts, goblins and other
ghoulish creatures and threat
en area residents with the
age-old "trick or treat." .
A number of parties and
other get-togethers have been
planned throughout the city
to celebrate the event. Not
the least of these will be a
teen-age dance at the Medford
Armory sponsored by the
Moose lodge.
Medford Police Chief
Charles P. Champlin urged
area young people to "have
fun," but to use common
sense and good judgment at
the same time. He said several
extra. officers will be on stand
by duty for tonight.
The dance at the armory is
being held in connection with
"Youth Honor day," an an
nual event that is sponsored
by the Moose. The dance is
free and open to anyone, the
only requirement being that
eacli person sign a Youth Hon
or day pledge card.
Live music will be provid
ed at the dance by the "Shad
ows." Arrangements for the
dance, which will be held
from 8 to 11 o'clock, were
made by the Moose in cooper
ation with the Medford parks
and recreation department
and Medford school district.
Chief Champlin has asked
tricker treaters" to not both
er homes were signs are post
ed that the occupant is ill or
otherwise unable to go to the
door.
During the past few years,
Champlin said, youths have
been very cooperative on Hal
loween and have also carried
on a number of worthwhile
projects such as UNICEF.
A number of children will
be asking residents for con
tributions to UNICEF. The
money collected will be turn
ed over to the U.N. organiza
tion for use in its world-wide
health and nutrition program.
The fund-raising drive is
sponsored by the Medford
chapter of the United Nations
association.
auspices.
But lurking in the .back
ground was grooving pressure
for the three parties to re
solve some half - dozen out
standing issues - or break up.
Model Treaty Sought
The aim of the conference
is to hammer out a model
treaty between Britain, Russia
and the United States.
The original parties would
then invite all the other na
tions of the world to join. The
agreement would be policed
by a gigantic worldwide con
trol system bigger and more
costly tha the United Nations.
Deplores
Embargo
Indeed, we may well have
strengthened Castro's position
with his people, as we did
Nasser's, and he.'ped Cuba
further into the Soviet orbit,"
he said.
"This administration . J,
has taken unilateral action by
imposing an economic em
bargo on Cuba 20 days before
our presidential election. No
other country has joined us
in this embargo."
World in 'Revolution'
The twice - defeated Demo
cratic presidential nominee
said the 1960 election "is more
than a choice between two
kinds of leadership. It is a
choice between a real man
talking about the real world
which is in revolution, and a
make-believe world where all
is well."'
Stevenson said Sen. ' John
F. Kennedy "has looked at
America; he knows what is
wrong. He has told the truth
to the American people."
Stevenson attacked the recently-announced
plan of Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
for a peace offensive to halt
Communism.
"This was not a strategy for
peace which the vice president
outlined," Stevenson said. "It
was a tactic for deferring de
cisions and trying to get
elected without being ' com
mitted to anything."
Stevenson was Introduced
by Sen. Wayne L. Morse, who
opposed Kennedy for the pres
idential nomination in the
Oregon primary last May, al
though other leading Oregon
Democrats opposed him. )
"I have come back to the
battleground to keep a pledge
I made last spring when I
said that if I lost I would urge
the closing of ranks behind
the party's ticket," Morse
said. "I keep this pledge with
great joy and deep convic
tion." Tavern Burglary in

Absentee Ballot
Deadline Wears
Thursday, Nov. 3 is the

today.
After that date only ballots
accepted will be those from
the physically disabled, peo
ple who have been called out
of town by their employers,
or those affected by a nation-
al disaster. Affidavits from
doctors and employers are re
quired with these applications

Election schools in the
county were completed Fri
day, it was reported. These
were held at the Jackson
ville grade school, the Han
by school in Gold Hill, Eagle
Point grade school and in the
county courthouse auditori
um. Stressed to the election
boards throughout the coun
ty was that all tally and re
turn sheets should be kept in
an envelope separate from the
election pouch so each pouch
doesn't have to be unlocked
to get returns from that pre
cinct. This causes consider
able delay in making the tal
ly, it was explained.
The elections department is
new putting out poll books
and stuffing the election
pouches. Relocation of a pre

the outlying areas has caused
a problem since officials of
the church used for the vot
ing place didn't notify the
