Two Americans Held in
South Viet Nam Saved
Saigon, South Viet Nam-OIPD-Two U.S. Army sergeants captured by the Communists
three weeks ago were rescued early today by South Vietnamese soldiers, the South Viet
Nam government said today.
The two men, both reported in good condition, are Sgt. 1. C. Francis Quinn, Niagara
Falls, N.Y., and Sgt. George E. Groom, St. Joseph, Mo., members of the elite U.S. special
forces who have been training government troops in their fight to crush widespread Com
mounist guerrilla activity.
While the South Vietnamese government said the two men were "rescued," the De
fence Department in Washington said they were "returned to the control" of the U.S.
Army
This could mean they were
rescued by a friendly force,
or it could mean they were
released by the Reds. The De
fense Department could not
clarify its statement on the
basis of Information it had
available.
Quinn and Groom were cap
tured when Communist Viet
Cong guerrillas swept out of
the jungles and attacked a vil
lage, where they and two
other American soldiers were
training civilian militia volun
teers. The other two Americans
were slain by their Red cap
tors. U.S. Army spokesmen said
the two men were taken from
the place where they were re
covered to a U.S. special
forces camp near Danang this
morning.
Col. G. B. Layton, Washing
ton, Iowa, chief of the U.S.
special forces in South Viet
Nam, said he had "never" ex
pected the men to be rescued.
Layton said he was "tre
mendously surprised" by the
news that Groom and Quinn
had been taken from the Viet
Cong by the South Vietna
mese forces.
He said he was overjoyed by
the news, but could scarcely
believe it until he actually
saw the men U the Saigon
airport. ,
Woodworkers To
Seek Wage Boost
Portland - IUPD - The Inter
national Woodworkers of
America (1WA) said Monday

of the two big lumber unions
in the Northwest, now work
at hourly rates ranging from
a base of $2.09 plus benefits
to more than $4.
Harvey R. Nelson of Port
land, chairman of the regional
IWA negotiating committee,
said the union will not seek
increases of SO cents an hour,
as urged by some locals.
"But we are not talking
about two and one-half or five
cents an hour either," he said.
The IWA contract reopens
for wage adjustments June 1.
The IWA requested meetings
on the wage question to start
May 18.

Budget Requests
Are Reduced
The Jackson county budget
committee this morning re
vised the county contribution
to the welfare program down
ward to $208,717.
Original total of the request
was $254,658 and current
total budget allocation is
$221,480. Most of the alloca
tions under welfare were re
vised downward, and some
left as presented originally in
the budget request.
The budget committee also
discussed increased fringe
benefits requested by the
Jackson County Employees'
association.
It decided to continue pay
ing half of both insurance
policies instead of the full
premium as requested. How
ever, it added $10,000 to the
current $5,000 allocation to
make the total allowed for
two insurance policies sup
ported by the county and em
ployees $15,500.
Sick leave benefits as re
quested were denied. The
policy of allowing 45 days of
accumulated sick leave was
j continued. The request to al
low payment tor accumulated
sick leave if an employee
should resign in good standing
was also denied. Vacation
time was set at two weeks
after one year and three
weeks alter 10 years.

TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1962
Army advisory board chair
man, said the meeting will be
for informational purposes
only.
Hensley stressed that the
building fund campaign to
raise a minimum of $137,185
is necessary due to the con
demnation of The Army's
present headquarters and the
serious water damage to the
Transient shelter on Crews rd.
A new citadel for housing
administrative, welfare, youth
and adult group activities, and
religious services will be built
at the site of Beatty and Ed
wards sts. The former Seventh-day
Adventist church on
the property will be remodel
ed for youth activities, class
rooms and an auditorium. Two
new buildings will be con
structed, according to Sr.
Capt. William Ricken, com
manding officer of the Med
ford Corps.
Repairs Necessary
Extensive repairs were nec
essary in January at the Tran
sient shelter due to water
pipes bursting in the attic
which damaged the inside
walls and floor tiles.
Captain Ricken said all
new floor coverings had to be
installed and inside walls of
the building repainted. Re
pairs were completed so that
the Shelter would not have to
be closed, he explained, but
now costs must be paid
through the campaign. The
loss was not covered by insur
ance, he noted.
The Shelter will continue
to operate on Crews rd. and
the Thrift shop at the 30
North Holly st. address.
William Johnston, dinner
chairman, said tickets for the
Monday dinner will be avail
able at the door.
Search Continues
For Man's Body
Jackson county sheriff's
deputies continued their
search today for the body of
Merie Harris Logeais, 39-year-old
Grants Pass man pre
sumed to have drowned in a
boating accident on the Rogue
river Sunday.
Deputies left this morning
with grappling hooks and
skin diving gear hoping to lo
cate the body from the acci
dent which occurred on the
Rogue river near Evans
creek.
Recent rains adding to the
muddy condition of the river
makes it almost impossible to
see anything under water, ac
cording to the deputies.
Nickerson
"You need to believe in
something so strongly that
. you are willing to fight for
j it." Dr. Francis B. Nickerson,
: galem. challenged a group of
27 honor students at the sec -
nnH annual scholastic recog-
nitinn dinner last evening.
What is really important,
he stressed, is to stand for
something, face up to problems
as they arrive and find trie
solution to the major ones.
"Then your life will have
been worth living." Dr. Nick
erson said.
The speaker, assistant to
the chancellor and executive
secretary of the high school- j
college relations committee ;
f the Oregon state system of
higher education, cited love
of country, home and religion
as things worth fighting for.
Kinds of Talent
The educator reminded the
seniors that it takes a lot of
different kinds of talent to
run the world, and academic
talent is one kind. !
"This makes you no better
than others." he continued. ;

Bids Opened for
MHS Grandstand;
Under Advisement
Bids to construct a 4,000-
seat grandstand at the Med
ford High school football field
have been taken under advise
ment by the senior high school
stadium bid committee, Chair
man R. H. (Bud) Parsons has
announced.
Three offers to construct
the stand were opened by the
committee yesterday with
Graff and James Contractors,
Medford, apparent low bidder.
Parsons said that a decision
on the bids will be made as
soon as possible.
Graff and James made a
base bid of $90,997 with an
alternate of $2,000 to be added
if seat riser width is increased
from 30 to 32 inches. M. O.
Bassonette, Medford, bid $94,-
750 basic with an added $12,
000 with wider seat risers.
Pittsburgh DeMoines Steel
company offered $110,166, but
Parsons said the bid was not
considered acceptable because
it was not up to minimum
specifications.
Parsons declared that the
bid committee "feels good"
about the prices submitted
and plans and specifications
presented. They would give
Medford "undoubtedly one of
the finest high school stands
in the state," he commented.
The 4,000-seat stand of basic
concrete construction would
replace a present 1,200-seat
frame stand on the west side
of the field. A citizen com
mittee has conducted a sale of
five-year reserved seats to fi
nance the project.
Coupon Books for
Vaccine Planned
Coupon books for the Sabin
oral polio vaccine clinics in
Jackson county May 12 and
13 are expected to be in the
hands of all pharmacies in the
area by the middle of this
week, according to Dr. Wil
liam J. Miller, general chair
man of the vaccine campaign.
The clinics, to he held from
noon to 6 p.m. each day, will
be at McLoughlin and Hod-
rick Junior High schools
Medford, Ashland High
school, Crater High school in
Central Point, Phoenix grade
school, Shady Cove school
and Rogue River school.
All residents are urged to
obtain coupon books prior to
visiting the clinics to speed
passage through the lines
The books, however, also will
be sold at the clinics.
The books, each containing
three coupons good for the
three doses of oral vaccine
are being sold for $1 each or
a maximum of $5 for a fam
ily regardless of number.
Those unable to afford the
books will be given them
without charge, Dr. Miller
said.
Since the Sabin vaccine is
permanent and eliminates
carrier possibilities, doctors
are urging that everyone re
ceive the three doses, even if
they have received the Salk
vaccine.

ity to lead the country," Dr.
Nickerson explained, "it is

ligation, iou win nave proo-
: lems you havent even

j The speaker challenged the
young people to have enough
nerve to change if they see
that their elders are wrong,
and asked if they wanted
their children to face the
same problems they are fac
ing in respect to the nation's
morals.
"How do you know what
you want to do?" he asked hi
audience. "Many of the jobs
which you will do aren't even
invented ye;." He added that
not all people would ever find
their spot in the world, since
they must do what they be
come acquainted with.
-You must find that which
is worth fighting for.'' he said,
"come out swinging - hard,
fast and early, and stay at it
long and late."

Kennedy, AMA
Fail To Agree
OnMedicalPlan
Washington (UPD President
Kennedy and leaders of the
American Medical Association
conferred for nearly an hour
today without resolving their
impasse over Kennedy's plan
to extend medical care to the
aged under social security.
The doctors emerged trom
the President's office still
flatly opposed to his plan,
which they contend amounts
to socialized medicine.
According to K e n n e d y's
secretary of health, education
and welfare. Abraham Ribi-
coff, the President remained
equally convinced that his
proposal is best and will be
enacted by congress. Ribicoft
attended the session.
Support Said Decreasing
'We told linn In no uncer
tain terms that we don't be
lieve that," said Dr. Leonard
W. Larson, Bismarck, N.D.,
AMA president.
"That is not our intelli
gence - we have a very good
line of communication with
the grass roots and the sup
port of the old people for the
administration plan Is de
creasing now that they real
ize what it will mean to
them."
Before he met with the
AMA leaders, Kennedy was
told by Democratic congres
sional leaders that they found
overwhelming favor for the
administration's medical care
for the aged program during
trips home while Congress
was in Easter recess.
The congressional report

More Cosmonauts
Washington - (liri) - One of

Russia expects to put up its

Blagonravuv gave a report
on Soviet space science at the

Blagonrarov is one of two

breakfast meeting between
the President and his lieu
tenants in Congress.
The touchy issue came up
at Kennedy's meeting with an
AMA delegation. There was a
difference of opinion over
who asked for the meeting.
Neither Kennedy nor the
AMA seemed particularly
anxious to meet. A spokes-
I man for the President said
the doctors asked to see Ken
nedy. Not so, said the AMA,
the President asked to see the
doctors.
"1 don't choose to gel Into

"All I can say is that they

want to see the President,
they should notify the Pres

Delinquent Tax
Story Criticized
By Judge Miller
Jackson County Judge Earl
M. Miller severely criticized
yesterday's story in the Mail
Tribune on delinquency in
personal property taxes.
'Don t you realize this is
personal political dynamite
for me?" the incumbent Re
publican candidate for county
judge asked a Mail Tribune
reporter.
Delinquency does not boost
the taxes for other county tax
payers, he indicated by saying
that the headline Is not true.
County Auditor George
Stacey did not tell the county
court to publish the delin
quent! taxes, Miller argued
further. "He merely asked us
to make an observation of
them. Our only decision was
in which paper to publish the
list. It's up to the sheriff to
collect them!"
Never Received List
"We have never received
any certified personal proper
ty tax list and former judges
will bear this out, too," Mil
ler said.
Arnold Bohnert, chairman
of the Jackson county budget
committee, emphasized that
the law stated collection of
taxes is solely the sheriff's
responsibility and not that of
the county court.
"You arc pointing the fin
ger at mc and criticizing my
integrity. Miller said in de
manding a correction.
County Treasurer Karl Ja-
nouch declared If was a fair
story. This was confirmed by
another county official who
did not wish to be named.
