Youth Arrested
After Ashland
Motel Robbery
A 17 - year old Medford
youth is being held in Jack
son county jail in connection
with the armed robbery of
the Carlton motel in Ashland
last night, the Jackson county
sheriff's office said this morn
ing. Mrs. Florence Carlton,
motel owner, reported to
deputies that a man between
16 and 18 years old entered
the motel about 7:40 p.m.
yesterday and demanded
money at gun point.
Mrs. Carlton said she hand
ed him $45 to $50 from her
bedroom dresser drawer.
The youth then told the
motel operator to slay in her
bedroom until he left and not
to call police. Shortly after
that, Mrs. Carlton called the
sheriff's office, and the
youth's description was broad
cast to local police agencies.
Head to California
Later last night a youth
fitting the description was
seen heading toward Cali
fornia on a motorbike. The
California highway patrol ar
rested the youth in Yreka,
and returned him to Jackson

Deputies said the youth
had a gun and money with
him at the time of his arrest.
En route to Jackson county
in a sheriff's car he admitted
the robbery, but had not yet
signed a written statement by
noon today. No formal
charges have yet been filed.
It was the second armed
robbery in Ashland in about
10 days. An armed bandit
took $63 from an Ashland
service station, Aug. 24. Be
fore that, the most recent
armed robbery was an Ash
land bank holdup in 1929,
according to Ashland police.

friendly, they really made me
feel at home."

Reply fo Soviets
Winds Blew Plane
i Off Set Course
Washinaton-dW-The United
Slates said today one of its
U2 reconnaissance planes may
have "unintentionally" over
flown Soviet territory in the
Far East.
The statement was made in
a U S, note to Moscow reply
ing to Russia's charge earlier
today of a U2 flight Thursday
over Russia's Sakhalin Island.
The U. S. note said investi
gation has revealed "that an
unintentional violation may in
fact have taken place.'
Severe Winds
The note said "a patrol
craft operated by the U. S.
Air Force" was flying &
course "well outside Soviet
territorial limits" but encoun
tered "severe winds" and
'may therefore unintentional
ly overflown the southern tip
of Sakhalin."
The note added that U.S.
policy on flights over Soviet
territory has "in no way been
altered" since President Ken
nedy's statement at a press
conference Jan. 25, 1961.
Kennedy said then that
"flights of American aircraft
penetrating ' the air space of
the Soviet Union has been
suspended since May, 1960. I
have ordered that they not be
resumed."
Heat Up
Before the State Depart
ment issued its statement, sev
eral members of Congress said .
they did not believe a U2
plane had violated Soviet ter
ritory. Some suggested the
Soviets were trying to heat
up the cold war.
One of the bluntest reac
tions came from Sen. Howard
Cannon (D-Nev.), a member
of the Senate Armed Services
committee. Not that the com
mittee had been told that U2
flights over Russia had been
discontinued, he said he did
not believe the Soviet charge
has "any substance at all."
Rod. George H. Marion (D-
Tex.), chairman of the House
ueiense Appropriations com
mittee, also was among those
who cast doubt on the Soviet
charge.
