Willi runners on first and second, New York Yankees steps back on second Tom Tresh lined to Giant pitcher Jack base to avert a triple play in the first inning Sanford.

Tresh's dramatic wallop into the lower right field stands capped a sudden ex plosion that wrecked the Giants just when it seemed that San Francisco pitcher Jack Sanford was nearing a brilliant hurling effort. Sanford Whiffed 10 Sanford, who shut out the Yankees in the second game of the series last Friday, struck out 10 Yankees today and, until theieighth, the only runs he had given up were scored on a wild pitch in the fourth inning and a passed ball in the sixth. In fact, Sanford had just si ruck out three straight bat ters, two of them in the sev enth inning and one to start the eighth, when the roof fell in on him. A crowd of 63,165 saw Tony Kubek open the winning rally by grounding a single into right field. Bobby Richardson followed with a single to left that moved Kubek to second and brought Tresh to the plate. Giants Stunned Tresh, a brilliant switch hitting rookie whose father also played in the major leagues, then stunned the Giants with his three - run homer that sent Sanford into the showers and down to de feat. Tlie victory went to Ralph. Terry, who pitched all the way for the Yankees and al lowed eight hits. It was the first series victory of Terry's career after four defeats. Terry struck out seven Giants Jose Pagan scored the fir-l two Giant runs. He singled in the third, took second on a sacrifice by Sanford, and came home on a double by Chuck Hiller.

Hoover, veteran Jackson county farmer, ranch er and civic leader, today called for the entire com munity to help save the rest of the pear crop once the cur rent heavy rains cease. The rains have delayed Pear Shippers May Sell To Government Pacific Coast pear shippers will have an opportunity to sell surplus Bartlett pears to the federal school lunch pro gram, according to Robert Eaton, in charge of the Pacific Northwest field office of the fruit and vegetable division of the U. S. Department of Agri culture. The government's offer to buy on a bid basis will cover U. S. No. 1 minimum grade with 165's set as the minimum size. All pear shippers of Ore gon, Washington and Califor nia should receive the federal bid offers tomorrow, Eaton said. The bids will be sent to Washington, D. C, and ship pers will be notified whether or not their bids were accept ed by the end of next week, Eaton added. Decision to admit the pears to the school lunch program was made by USDA officials in Washington, D. C. today, Eaton said. The decision fol lowed a meeting this week with Under Secretary of Ag riculture Charles Murphy, a representative of Medford pear shippers, R. A. Patter son, general manager of the Oregon-Washington - Califor nia Pear bureau, and other pear industry spokesmen. The meeting was arranged through Sens. Maurine Neuberger and Wayne Morse (D-Ore.). A large amount of the Bart Ictts remain unsold in the Medford pear district, it was reported, hence the need for federal purchases. scored in the fourth inninrr on Sanford's wild pitch. Rich ardson scored the other Yan kee run in the sixth inning on a passed ball by catcher Haller. The teams will be idle Thursday and the sixth game of the series will be played in San Francisco Friday. Pears picking, and unless the rest of the pears are harvested im mediately after picking can resume, many of them may be lost. "Let's have everyone - high school boys, farmers, anyone who can climb a ladder-rally round to get this crop in," Hoover declared. "The pear boys are a mainstay to our economy, and we owe it to them to save the crop." Can Furnish Trucks He added, "There are lots of us who can furnish trucks or Cats and other equipment to transport pickers and the crop. I'm sure everyone would want to help if they just knew how." Local fruit growers suggest ed that people volunteering to pick pears when orchards dry out should contact Glen Hasty at the farm labor office near the Jackson' county fair grounds. Transportation would be provided to the orchards be tween 6 a.m. and 8 a.m., Hasty said. Friday Hasty had issued an an appeal for family groups and boys 16 years and older to pick pears because of the critical labor shortage. Some growers noted that not every one is physically able to pick pears. Wait to Dry Out "It will probably be two or three days before the or chards dry out on even the lighter soils. It will be longer for orchards on the sticky soil," an orchardist comment ed. "We could be in real des per ate circumstances," a grower noted. "There are the equivalent of approximately a half million boxes of pears yet to be picked. These are Bosc, Cornice, Nellis and P. Barry varieties." Two school district super intendents said a "pretty lull calendar" would make it dif ficult to close schools to allow students to pick during the week. However, if the situa tion becomes serious they said they would consider It.

Premier Renews Charges of U.S. Invasion Plans Adlai Stevenson Target of Diatribe Miami-lUPil - Premier Fidel Castro told the Cuban peo ple Tuesday night for the first time that Russian military "technicians" are stationed in their country. In a speech broadcast by Radio Havana, Castro reiterat ed the familiar charge that the United Stales is preparing to invade Cuba. He said "it is for defense that we got these weapons and those techni cians." Scoffs at Reports He scoffed at reports that he is importing Soviet weap ons and thousands of Russian "technicians" to defend his revolutionary regime against the Cuban people. Castro's appearance at a mass meeting welcoming President Osvaldo Dorticos back from New York inter rupted his negotiations with New York atttorney James B. Donovan for the release of 1,113 captured Cuban invad ers. Donovan hoped the negotia tions, which have been re ported approaching a satis factory conclusion, would be renewed today. UN Ambassador Adlai Stev enson was a particular target of Castro's anti - American diatribe. Slung by Response Castro apparently was stung by Stevenson's response to a speech by Dorticos at the United Nations in which the Cuban president plugged the Castroite line about U.S. "acts of war" against Cuba. Stev enson said the speech contain ed "unparalleled calumnies, slanders and misrepresenta tions." The premier denounced Stcvension as a "cynic," and said he was "highly discredit ed at the United Nations." Dorticos and his official party returned to shortage plagued Cuba loaded down with bundles from U.S. de partment stores.

Justice Ken neth O'Connell dissented. Shipley was convicted in Lincoln county of the slaying of Linda Jean Stevens, 16, Willamina. Unreasonable Delay Shipley's attorneys contend ed there was an unreasonable delay in taking him before a magistrate after he was ar rested. They said his admis sions and confession during the 25 hour lag should have been excluded from evidence. But Justice McAllister wrote that S h i p 1 e y's statements were admissible, and their admission at the trial did not violate due process. McAllister said the federal rule excluding such state ments docs not apply to the trial of criminal cases in state courts. Justice O'Connell's dis sent said the Oregon high court should adopt the rule followed by the federal courts. Special Opinion Justice Alfred T. Goodwin wrote a special concurring opinion in which he sided with the majority, but he warned prosecutors to "care fully consider" statements made in O'Connell's dissent. Shipley, of McMinnville, now has 20 days in which to hsk me nign court for a re- nearing. If no request is made. me mandate will go to Lin coln County Circuit Judge Earl P.

Meredith Jeered on Mississippi Campus Oxford, Miss. - (UPI) White students harassed James Mere dith at just about every step the Negro took Tuesday on the University of Mississippi cam pus. A stocky youth even pushed past a U.S. marshal walking with Meredith and shook his finger in Meredith's face. "Nigger, you better watch out," he said. the House rules committee, Representative Howard Smith (D-Va.), wants all Senate-added projects stricken. But the Senate Majority leader, Mike Mansfield of Montana, wants the Knowles dam retained in the bill. Because Smith could block final House action if the final compromise version is unac ceptable to him, there Is speculation that the whole bill could be scuttled for this year as Congressional leaders press for adjournment this week. - If the bill dies, the Rogue Basin dams would not be eligible for federal funds for another year at least. The pending bill only authorizes the projects. Appropriations to start construction would re quire future Congressional action.
