the explosion traveled
through the anesthetic tube to
the patient.
Not Injured
Four other persons in the
operating room were not in

esthesiologist, an attending
surgeon and two nurses.
Damage to the machine was
limited mainly to a ruptured
gas bag.
"Nurses in attendance heard
a loud noise and saw a little
bit of flame under the ma
chine," Mays said.
The attendants threw wet
sheets over it. The hospital
did not reveal the nature of
the anesthetic being used. It
was believed to be a mixture
of ether and other gases.
Escapees From

New Orleans ll'Pli - Seven
bearded, tattered Cuban fish

after escaping from their
country in an eight-day trip
across the Gulf of Mexico.
They told stories of near

vessel. They were met at the

Iron Workers And
Contractors Agree
To Resume Parley
Portland, Ore. - l!P0 - Rep-1
resentatives of striking iron I
workers and contractors in
Oregon and Washington
agreed Saturday to reopen
negotiations in Washington,
D.C., this week.
The two sides accepted an
invitation to meet Wednesday
with John T. Dunlop, chair
man of the national joint ap
peals board.
The invitations were is
sued earlier in the day in
telegrams signed by William
E. Simkin, the national di
rector of the federal media

Federal mediators from the
Pacific Northwest also will

Macmillan May
Extend Political
Purge in Britain
London - WPP - Prime Min
ister Harold Macmillan will
carry his political purge to
the junior ministries 'within
the next four or five days and
end the "little austerity" pol
icy which cost the conserva
tive party much popularity,
informed sources said Satur
day. He began the purge Friday
by firing six cabinet min
isters and the secretary of
state for Scotland and brought
one newspaper head line:
"Macruthless." N e wspapers
revived the old moniker
"Mac the Knife" and several
called it "The Massacre of
Friday the 13th."
Selwyn Lloyd, the chan
cellor of the exchequer (treas
urer), bore the brunt of the
blame for the little austerity
drive which froze white col
lar and laborers wages. He
was dumped in what some
papers called "cold blooded"
fashion.
Return to Theme
Replacing him is former
Colonial Secretary Reginald
Maulding who is expected to
reverse the belt tightening
drive and to try to return
the conservatives to their
"you never had it so good"
theme, which won them an
unprecedented third-in-a-row
general election victory in
1959.
Since introduction of the
little austerity program
backed fully by Macmillian
the conservatives have
dropped 14 seats in parlia
ment by recent elections.
Macmillan's arch foes, La
bor Party Leader Hugh Gait
skcll and Liberal Party Lead
er Joe Grimond, called for
an immediate general elec
tion. But political sources
said Macmillan engineered
the reshuffle to give his gov
ernment lime to recoup its
popularity before October,
1964, the deadline for calling
a general election.
Labor Party M.P. Harold
Wilson, the opposition for
eign affairs spokesman, said
Macmillian made Loyd and
the other outgoing ministers
the "scapegoats." He said,
"When a company is facing
bankruptcy through misman
agement, it is usually the
chairman of the board who
goes first, not the executive
directors."
The sources said in recent
days there had been a move
to ease up on austerity but
that Lloyd had opposed this.
His refusal frightened some
of the conservatives and they
pointed to the spectacular
loss to labor of the "safe" con
servative white color constit
uency of Orpington this
spring.

inary meeting was set for
Tuesday.
The iron workers went out
on strike in Washington May
23 and went out on strike in
Oregon May 28 after contract
negotiations broke down.
The dispute has tied up mil
lions of dollars worth of con
struction in the two states and
in northern Idaho.
Dunlop, a Harvard univer
sity professor, will preside at
the meeting. However, it will
not be a meeting of the joint
appeal board.
The board is composed of
officials of seven internation

established to arbitrate dis
putes. The iron workers previous
ly rejected an appeal by Ore
gon Gov. Mark Hatfield to
submit the strike to the board
for arbitration. The contarc
tors accepted.
Negotiations were sched

in Salem, Ore., Friday be
tween iron workers and con
tractors involved in the strike

U.S. Test Balloon
Carrying Monkeys
Drifts Northward
Sunnyvale, Calif. tdlPD- A
gigantic balloon, carrying a
payload of two rhesus mon
keys and four hamsters, was
drifting over northern Can
ada Saturday in a test of cos
mic radiation problems.
The test was arranged by
Ames Research Center, Sun
nyvale, Calif., and was de
signed to find out about the
radiation problems that will
b e encountered by moon
bound spacemen of the future.
Brad Evans, scientist in
charge of the project at the
research center, said that at 2
p.m. PDT (5 p.m. EDT) the
balloon was about halfway
across Quebec province.
"It started out a little fast
er than we anticipated," Ev
ans said. "But it has now
slowed down and is about on
schedule."
The balloon carried the ani
mals in one of five capsules
slung below it as it towered
over the capsules as high as a
10-story building.
The balloon, about as big
around as a football field, was
expected to stay aloft until
about midnight Sunday
(PDT), when it will have
floated more than 2,000 miles
from its launching site in La
brador to the vicinity of Ed
monton, Alberta.

Cleveland Mayor Anthony
Celebrezze also takes into his

Alba Lawyer Slates
A young law school gradu
ate from Alba, Italy, Mcd
forri's sister city, is sched
uled to arrive here for a six
week's visit on Aug. 1. ac
cording to Robert Baccus,
chairman of Medford's sister
city program.
The visitor, Pino Dutlo, 25,
whose trip is being arranged
under the auspices of the sis
ter city program, will be the
first citizen of Alba to come
to Medford since the two
cities affiliated about two
years ago.
A group of area residents,
led by Mrs. Bert Pree, 2495
West Main St., visited Alba
last summer in the first per
son - to person contact be

Dutto'a expenses to New

nounccs his name Sel - la

at his office early, and stays
late when the occasion de
mands. In his daily press confer
ences Celebrezze neither dod
ges questions, nor hedges in
answering. He believes in
holding nothing back, .even
though the information might
be unfavorable t6 his admin
istration. , ' .
Celebrezze, the most pop
ular mayor the city has had,
keeps in close touch with the
public, attends all public
functions and never refuses
an invitation to appear at
neighborhood meetings or cer
emonies. In his eight and a half
years in office, Celebrezze has
never been away from his
desk more than a few days
in a row.
Pointed Up
While he has an abiding
interest in civil rights and
education, his chief pride has
been in the city's vigorous
slum clearance and urban re
newal projects.
His critical attitude toward
what he considers inefficiency
or poor planning was pointed
up when a planeload of Cu
ban refugees descended on
Cleveland in February with
out warning.
Celebrezze worried about
the refugees finding jobs in
a city where unemployment
at the time was higher than
usual. He said he was not in
formed of their arrival "un
til plans were already jelled."
He said he thought the
cities jobless should get first
choice on the available jobs
unless there was a shortage
of skills and the Cubans had
the skills.
However, he added, "Any
one Is welcome to come to
Cleveland, there are no bar
riers here."
