NBC Criticized For Escape Help Washington -tUNl-The Slate Department has criticized the National Broadcasting Co. for involving itself in the digging and use of an escape tunnel under the Berlin wall. The department emphasiz ed, however, that the only reason it objected to the NBC action was that Americans played a part in the opera tion through their filming of it, and that this involved a "risk." It said it did not feel that televising a film of the events would be of any risk to those taking part in the construc tion of the tunnel and a sub sequent escape through it. Convenient Plane Schedules Asked Portland - WW - Pleas for airline service and more con venient schedules to Oregon cities were voiced here last week as a Civil Aeronautics board hearing on West Coast Airlines service continued. Portland Mayor Terry Schrunk said suspension of airline service' under the CAB's "use-it-or-lose-it" poll cv would virtually isolate some cities. Thousands of dollars in subsidies for airlines flying to such smaller isolated cities as Burns and Lakeview are justified In the interests of the whole state, Ray Allen, manager of the Portland Freight Traffic association, said. Allen charged that West Coast has not provided sched ules that would encourage air traffic, however. The Word Is 'Bird Doctor, Not Birth San Francisco -ll'Plu Crew men of a German freighter, wary of U.S. quarantine regulations, sent a message Thursday while steaming through the Golden Gate and louched off an abund ance of confusion, "Bird on boardi advise what to do," lhty messaged. This somehow got copied down as "birth on board . , ." And mystified crewmen got this reply: "We're sending a doctor io handle the situation." A worried quarantine of ficer boarded the ship short ly thereafter and asked to sea the baby. Able Seaman Verne Jans son of Hamburg sheepishly displayed a 6-month old green and yellow parakeet. The quarantine officer said the bird would have io stay aboard and left, I bW.irli.TV!. I ' - Lnn J M j&dfjikmli SINGLER For MAYOR "Eipritnc Incr nut ur wisdom but daain't liduca our foltiti." Joih lillingi Pd Pol. Adv. Jay Allen 383 Holmes, Medford The department also em phasized that any decision on such a telecast was strictly up to NBC. The network had assured the State Department that ed iting of the film would hide the identities of all those in the film except those who specifically consented -to re vealing themselves. It also argued that a group of students had started to build the tunnel by the time NBC arranged to film the op eration. It said "meticulous precautions were taken to in sure against any additional risk "already implicit in the students' project." Press officer Lincoln White said the Slate Department considered NBC's "risky, ir responsible" and "contrary to the best interests of the Unit ed States."

The hearings were origin ally scheduled to end Friday. West Coast introduced sta tistics which showed a "sav ings" of $106,678 a year if air service could be eliminated to Bend and Redmond. The CAB estimated elimination of the two cities would make a dif ference of only $8,800. The airline submitted sev en pounds of statistical stud ies pertaining to its Oregon service. Us experts and those of the CAB came up with dif ferent figures on the cost of eliminating service to various Oregon points. Except for the Bcnd-Rcdmond example, they were within about $1,000 of each other, however. The CAB is conducting the hearing to determine if West Coast service should be sus pended to nine Oregon cities because of lack of passenger traffic. The cities involved are Baker, Bend, Burns, Lake view, Klamath Falls, Ontario, Redmond, Pendleton and Sa lem.

V Page 2A Medford MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1062 Reclamation Heads Aim for Revenues From Dam Portland, Ore. Na. tional reclamation leaders have set their sights on the revenues from big dams as a means of paying for more water resource development projects. The National Reclamation association convention here passed a resolution calling for a special committee to study the relationship of hy dro-electric power licensing to reclamation work. The com mittee was instructed to re port back next year. The convention also passed a resolution endorsing the use of "basin-wide power and oth er revenues" for irrigation projects. The convention end ed Friday. The actions came after U.S. Commissioner of Reclamation Floyd Dominy urged federal, not private, construction of High Mountain Sheep dam on the Snake river. He said fed eral construction would make revenues from the dam avail able for reclamation work in the northwest. Supporters of the resolu tion creating a special study committee denied it was in tended to delay probable li censing of a private firm to build High Mountain Sheep, now pending before Ihe Fed eral Power commission. But private power was unhappy with the resolution. Acreage Limits The convention passed 23 resolutions, including three points urged by the California water commisioner. It called for overhaul of a number of reclamation laws, inclusion of projects primarily intended to provide municipal or indus trial water, and moderniza tion of acreage limits per farmer for irrigated land. The convention said acre limits should be flexible and should recognize different type of farming. The convention also went along with orcgon Governor Mark Hatfield in urging clari fication of stales' rights over water. It called for a law to require any federal agency to Jl8i left, and tumbled 4.000 feet to her death.
