One of the photos, above, displayed by Miller, was de scribed by him as showing a student hostess on a "familiar ization trip" sitting on the lap of a pilot during a 1959 TWA flight between Denver and Los Angeles. Miller said instruments on the panel clearly show that the plane was flying at an altitude of 18,100 feet when the photo was taken. (UPI) THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA Schirra, Baseball Dominate News Throughout California By United Press International The word was "Wow" last week what with world orbits and world series. Mrs. Walter M. Schirra Sr. San Diego used it first as she watched the impressive liftoff of her astronaut son on liis earth-orbiting flight early Wednesday morning. But it erupted on Wednesday after noon when the San Francisco Giants made their cliff-hang ing capture of the National league pennant. With the Los Angeles Dodgors out of the way, the Giants had only to lace the New York Yankees. In San Francisco, the city's oft blase baseball fans hegan al once to work on one of the biggest hangovers since V-J Heat Institute, 4.13 N E ami prove to yoursell HEAT U day. long after midnight, downtown San Francisco was cacophony of auto horns, shout and breakdowns both mechanical and otherwise. Don't Ignore Baseball Even the gubernatorial can didates. Gov. Edmund G. Erown and Richard Nixon, could not ignore baseball dur ing their television debate at a United Press International Editors conference In San Francisco Monday. When iVixon asked Brown whether he supported the Giants or the Dodders, Brown said laugh ingly that he was taking the fifth amendment. In other areas, however, the candidates gave each other Ut ile reason to smile. From their olten-heated exchange, came two issues that undoubtedly will draw additional sparks from the two men during the closing weeks of the cam paign. -The question of whether it was "morally or ethically proper for Nixon, then vice (.resident, to permit the Hughes Tool company to lend $205,000 to his brother, Don ald. Cuesiion of Endorsement -The question of whether Nixon endorses or repudiates two congressional candidates who are members of the John Birch Society, and whether Brown blesses the candidacy of two Democrats who, Nixon charges, helped lead the riots against the House Un-American Activities committee at its San Francisco meeting on May 1, 1900. The same kind of heat gen crated by Nixon and Brown rose In Sacramento and Azusa between the Aerojet - General Corporation and the Interna tional Association of Ma chinists. Charges of 'mad rcss" and "irresponsibility" j began flying shortly after the j union called a strike of its j 8.000 members at the Aerojet plants in those cities. The strike began Tuesday shortly j after noon. But by Thursday night, federal government 'pressure had ended it and j forced negotiators from both sides to renew their talks I aimed at a new contract.

McAndrews Rd MEDFORD MAIL Railroad Vice Presidents Visit Lumbermen, Fruit Industry Two railroad vice presi dents were in Mer ford Friday "to win friends" -nd sell more traffic on thi transcon tinental Burlington lines Guy R. Glover, vice presi dent for traffic, declared mid western agriculture is gen erally "better than ever" this fall. There are good crops of milo, sugar beeis and the pas ture Is good for cattle Corn prospects are excel lent, but the wheat crop was disappointing. Wyoming and Montana, through which the railroad runs, is also better than ever, he said. Agricul ture is a main supporter of the railroad, Glover noted. Also here was E. L. Potarf, vice president for operations. Generally Ffll.' Glover said President Ken nedy generally has been fair in his handling of the railroad labor disputes. However, a supreme court decision now pending will be the deciding factor, he noted. He repeat edly urged a user's fee for highways and waterways so competition with other trans portation means would be fairer. "You might say our line carries the goods to the con suming area," Potarf said. "We're here to talk to the pear shippers and the lumber men. This area is a tre mendous source of raw ma terials." Jackson and Josephine counties have 10 per cent of the nation's uncut timber, first degree murder indict ment against Dr. Geza de Kaplany for the acid-knife slaying of his wife. The 36- year-old former Hungarian freedom fighter showed no emotion as the indictment. charging "muder by torture," was read. He had said earlier that he burned her with acid and disfigured her with surgi cal instruments "to take away her beauty because she was unfaithful." Church: Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken announce that a new $6 million cathedral in Stn Francisco will replace St. Mary's, which was destroyed by fire four weeks ago. The archbishop said that he favor ed a higher elevation than the Van Ness avenue site of the old cathedral. Shooting: A crazed roomer in a West Los Angeles room ing house used a revolver to shoot and kill three persons and bludgeon to death a fourth. Police say that the middle-aged man went ber serk, beating to death one man then shooting four per sons and killing three. Rousselot: Rep. John Rous- selot, a California Republican and member of the John Birch Society, said that Maj. Gen. Edwin W. Walker should be expelled from tne society if he "did in fact encourage rioters at the University of Mississippi." Ambulances: The electronic flge is affecting emergency re quests for ambulances. A woman called central receiv ing hospital in Los Angeles for an ambulance because: "I can't get up and I want some one to come over to turn off my television set." Rabies: San Diego and San Bernardino counties were de clared rabies areas and put under quarantine. The State Department of Public Health's Rabies advisory committee took tile action because rabid bats, skunks and dogs have been found in the areas. Un der the quarantine, animals must be confined by a chain, line or leash or be in a fenced area. While: State Supreme Court Justice Thomas White, 74, will retire Oct. 31 after more than 38 years as a California jurist. TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Local Ag-jnt Harold Pyle said. Crones SS Million The Burlington line grossed $5 million more this year than last year, but it." net receipts are $4 million down from last year. This is due mainly to labor and equipment costs, Potarf said. "We expect to spend $17 million in new equipment in an attempt to try to buy cars which will be useful to peo ple in the Pacific Northwest, ' Glover said. "This means re frigerator cars for fruit and wide door cars for easier handling of lumber." "We also buy lumber from this area for construction of those cars," Pot. rf said. "The box car shortage is pretty bad. In fact all lines are short of any car whicil would hold a bale of hay. Use of lift trucks by industry has made new types of cars necessary," he added. Glover noted an 8 per cent increase in passenger traffic gross in contrast to other rail roads who have or are think ing of abandoning passenger service. Few With P. Jtengers Asked why the Burlington line is maintaining its pas senger service while others are abandoning it, Glover said "we i-re one of the few railroads which has worked hard for the passenger busi ness. In fact, our passenger boys work harder for their money than others in the line because they deal with un known customers. We don't know who might be planning a trip while we have a pretty good idea which companies are shipping out their goods and about when. None of the lino's passen ger equipment is old, Glover noted and indicated this may be why his line has held onto this traffic. The Denver Zephyr, for instance, is a mo dern suburban train, he pointed out. "We will provide passen ger service as long as people want it," Glover said. "And it is not always lucrative," he admitted. "The Billings to Denver route carries far more express and mail than it does people, for instance. We want to be sure the service abandons us before we aban don the service." "Our trains are designed to move through scenic areas and carry people not in a hurry. The railroad is for peo ple who want to ride com fortably and sleep comfort ably," Potarf said. Irrigation District Turns Off Its Water The Rogue River Valley Ir rigation district is taking all water out of its ditches this week end. All the water will be out by Monday, according to Har old Sexton, district manager. Four flumes will be replaced in the system, Sexton said. Considerable tile line work also will be done, he said. "We are replacing four flumes on the main canal, plus approximately two miles of tiling of laterals and rebuild ing the main canal bank for about a mile," Sexton said. "The fall cleaning program will be started right away," he added. Silica Deposits of . Northwest Reviewed The most promising deposits of silica in four northwestern states, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and Montana, are evaluated by the bureau of mines recent report released by (lie department of in terior. Demand for industrial sili ca, or high purity quartz sand, grew rapidly in the Pacific Northwest after World War II with establishment of new glass plants and other indus tries which use the region's low cost power supply. Pro ducing deposits became de pleted in 1957 and critical shortage developed. To supply consuming indus tries with reliable informa tion, the bureau checked 82 possible sources in the four states. Only 16 of 37 high quality deposits were consid ered larce enough for eco nomic development. These represent future reserves, ac cording to the report, which is available from the bureau of mines. Accordion Students Provide Entertainment Accordion students of Cae sar Muzzioli entertained at the monthly Hed Cross party for veterans at the White City domiciliary recently. The trio consisted of Wal ter, Delia, and Fred Fitzger ald. Other music was pro vided by Rich Wells, Linda Amnion.. Gayle Taylor and Bill Lindow. Refreshments were served by Red Cross volunteers, Mrs. Fred Rehl inc and Mrs Maude Codding. Both of the vice presidents pointed to a continual pas senger service promotion pro gram, high school graduation trains which carry dance bands, excursion trains, gram mar school excursions and many others. Glover complained about "subsidized competition." He deplored the large public funds being allocated for riv er channel development. "If we had all the money spent on river developments we could rebuild the entire rail road network in this coun try," he said. Veterans Day Parade Theme Is Selected by Group "There is no ism like Amer icanism" will be the theme of the Veterans Day parade and other events, Sunday, N,ov. 11, according to Vaughn Beer, commander of the Jack son county chapter, Disabled American Veterans. Beer resigned at the recent Veterans Allied Council meet ing as parade chairman since he will be out of town Nov. 11.

Special Enlistment Permission Given Special permission has been received to enlist 25 men from Oregon for direct assign ment to- the 26th artillery group responsible for the air defense of metropolitan Se attle area, MSgt. Warren Long, local Army recruiter, said Saturday. Word came from Lt. Col. Arthur G. May, the main sta tion commander, Portland.

The check, expected some time today, will arrive a month earlier than usual, and will be $79,832.22 more than last year's check for $374,786, the county treasurer said. This is due to an increase in timber sales, he said. Three-fourths of the re ceipts will be allocated for county roads and one-fourth for county schools according to the law, Janouch explained. This means the roads depart ment will receive $340,963.67 and the schools $113,654.55. The total amount represents 25 per cent of money received from timber sales in the sec tions of Siskiyou, Rogue River and Umpqua national forest lands within the boundaries of Jackson county.
