SEASON OPENS From the hoards of people at the lakes
in southern Oregon Saturday morning it would seem that
there wasn't a soul left in town. The opening of fishing
season was the attraction. The picture above shows the
resort area at Howard Prairie reservoir jammed with cars,
and hundreds more were parked in other areas around the

Fire Department
Offers Free Home
Safety Checkup
Medford residents who live
on streets extending east and
west will be offered a free
inspetcion of their home by
the Medford Fire department
Monday. The fire department
is again offering this service
in an effort to make city
homes more fire safe.
Last year 1,76!) home own
ers were inspected by the de
partment. A total of . l.gsa tit. Vichy quarter of tne west
recommendations were made, em port city of Oran last
on removal of fire hazards
found in many of the homes.
The department reported
that there was a noticeable
drop in the number of dwell
ing house fires after these in
spections. Due to the large number of
residents in Medford, the de
partment concentrates on one
half of the city each year.
This year, uniformed fire
men with proper identifica
tion will call on all residents
on east-west streets and offer
to point out fire hazards that
aften are not recognized as
such.
Thcse hazards usually are
of a minor nature but actual
ly are responsible for a large
number of house fires, fire
department officials explain.
Removal of common causes of
fires should help to reduce
the loss in lives and property
that reached an all-time high
in the United States last year,
they believe.

Captured Friday
A speaker identifying him-!
self as Gardy, the only OAS I
general still at large, said
he had succeeded ex-Gen. Sa-
Ian, the No. 1 OAS chief who
was captured Friday in Al
giers. Gardy also confirmed that
onetime French Premier
George Bidault was now pres
ident of the OAS' "national
resistance committee."
Both announcements had
been expected.
Gardy was in command of
the Oran district during the
abortive "generals' revolt"
last year and he has been
sentenced to death in France.
The shootings in Oran and
Algiers were the answer of
the OAS to Satan's capture

Centaur Rocket
Launch Attempt
Fizzles on Pad
Trouble Found in
Release System
Cape Canaveral -HIPP- An
attempt to launch America's
revolutionary hydrogen-powered
Centaur rocket on its
maiden flight failed Saturday
when a giant Atlas booster
that was to have carried it
aloft fizzled on its launching
pad.
Scientists said the cause of
the difficulty was trouble in
the umbilical release system
the system that feeds power
into the rocket. The malfunc
tion caused an automatic shut
down in the Atlas booster.
The engines of the powerful
Atlas booster ignited at 3:36
p.m. EST and roared furious
ly for 3'2 seconds but auto
matic sensing devices detect
ed some sort of trouble and
! refused to release clamps
: which held the rocket fast to
! the ground,
i Twice Ihe Thrust
U. S. scientists had planned
to rocket the second stage
Centaur about 300 miles in
space and then ignite its pair
of 15,000 pound thrut engines.
The tydrogen fuel that the
new rocket burns delivers
about twice the thrust of con
ventional rocket fuels.
No new launching dale was i
scheduled immediately for the
maiden flight.
Hydrogen - fueled engines
will be heavily used later this
decade to launch teams ot
men and tons of machinery to
i the moon and into deep space.
But scientists have been
plagued by a string of fail
ures reaching back for over
a year in their attempts to
test this prototype of the hy-
drogcn-fueled engines.

The president, in office
only three weeks, apparently
won a victory for his so-called
"constitutional" approach
in how to deal with the prob
lem of Peronist viotories in
last month's elections.
Reliable quarters said mil
itary chiefs lifted previous de
mands for the cancellation of
all congressional election re
sults after Guido agreed to
the appointment of federal
commissioners to head all of
Argentina's 22 -provinces.
The heart of the compro
mise, worked out as rival
army troops, tanks and artil
lery units massed for bat
tle in the capital, was the
removal of two top army
chiefs who disagreed over
Guido's continuance in the
presidency.
Named War Secretary
One was Maj. Gen. Enrique
Bauch, pro-Guido military
leader who was named war
secretary at 3 a.m. to succeed
Gen. Marino Carreras.
The other was Lt. Gen.
Raul Poggi, anti-Guido army
chief of staff who sought to
overthrow the president.

sworn inlb the job he held
less than 12 hours, was re
placed Saturday afternoon by

into new strife.

ly was opened Saturday when
President Kennedy punched a

The opening of the spark

by tragedy. An Air Force jet

At least two persons were

Few of the 10,000 persons
gathered for the fair opening
were' aware of the tragedy.
They heard President Ken

hookup say "By closing this
key, may we open ont only a

we open an era of peace and
