Plane Searches
For Survivors
' New York (UPD Eighteen
crewmen of a Greek freighter,
hurled into high seas and
swept out of sight when their
lifeboat capsized moments be
fore rescue was at hand, were
missing and feared dead today
in the gale-tosed waters of the
Atlantic.
A Coast Guard plane, which
began a new search for the 18
seamen at 6 a.m. today, ra
dioed Coast Guard headquar
ters here that conditions for
survivors in the towering
waves were "very poor."
The seamen were tossed
into the sea at dusk Thursday
and hope was fading that they
would be found alive.
Seven Rescued
Seven other crewmen
aboard the 422-foot freighter
Captain George, bound for
Port Said, Egypt, with a cargo
of explosives when it caught
fire Wednesday night, were
rescued by two other vessels
Thursday night.
The 24 crewmen and their
captain fought a heroic 18
hour battle against flames be
for abandoning ship and tak
ing to lifeboats. The fire was
still burning today aboard the
freighter, located about 340
miles northeast of Bermuda
and 500 miles east of New
York.
Much of the cargo of ni
trates, sulphur, dynamite, and
other explosive material was
tossed overboard Thursday
but the threat of an-cxplosion
aboard the abandofel Jjihip
still existed. " ; .
Saturn Rocket
Scores Success
Cape Canaveral, Fla. - (UPI) -America's
mighty Saturn su
per rocket, the key to the na
tion's plans for conquering
the moon, roared 104 miles
into space today and scored
its third straight success.
The 540-ton rocket also
dumped 95-tons of water into
space as a bonus experiment
to punctuate the dramatic per
formance. The 162-foot rocket vaulted
from a launching pad and be
came the largest and heaviest
object ever to fly into space.
At the end of its flight, the
Saturn was deliberately
blown up to release the water
it carried as ballast in its up
per stages.
The water formed a mas
sive white ice cloud that
could be seen from the
ground.

istrators in Eugene. He
invited to visit Medford by
Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield, su
perintendent. Dr. Becker said schools
need to be made better for
two reasons. .
One is that "an explosion
of knowledge is taking place."
The explosion is occurring "so
rapidly," he continued, "that
k is almost terrifying."
The other reason is because
of a technological revolution.
This revolution, he said, has
not yet touched education as
much as it will in the future.
Because of these, he indicat
ed, schools and educational
programs mu:;t become better
to provide the student with
more knowledge and better
opportunities. Education must
be made more effective, he
said.
He reviewed aspects of the
Norwalk Plan, which includes
not only team teaching situa
tions, but also school improve
ment projects, participation in
both of which is on a volun
tary basis.
New Combination
The improvement projects,
of which there are 19 now
being carried out in the sys
tem, may involve new combi
nations of old projects, but
they are all designed to im
prove education or the means
of education of the student.
Team teaching at Norwalk
is actually a redeployment
project, Dr. Becker said.
Through redeployment, the
system gets "more millage
out of the dollar," receives
better staff utilization, and
obtains better space utiliza
tion. A team, he said, can teach
some subjects better than the
subriect enn be tauSnt the
self-contained classroom. The
team utilizes the teacher's tal
ents, and students can be bet
ter grouped.
Pioneer in Team Work
Norwalk was one of the
pioneers in experimenting
with team teaching. It was
introduced at Norwalk
through the work of Dr. Beck
er with assistance from a Ford
foundation grant.
Prior to Dr. Becker's arriv
al in Norwalk, the schools
were poor, the district had
difficulty in obtaining money
to provide an education for
children, there were local con-
Itrovcrsies, the district was
pressed with the Medford sys
tem its administrators, its
board and Ms teaching staff.

Screening Group
Seeks Postmaster
Applications
County Clerk Marvin Mad
den and Alva Bradford, Med
ford barber and city council
man, are the leading contend
ers for Medford postmaster,
James Redden, Medford law
yer and state representative-
elect, declared to the Jackson
county Democratic Central
committee last night.
Mrs. Alice Rulter, a mom
ber of the postmaster candi
date screening committee, re
torted this was a premature
statement since the screening
committee has not made any
recommendations yet.
Madden has not submitted
a formal application for the
job. He was reelected county
clerk Nov. 6. Bradford said
this morning he had made
formal application.
The two Democrats were
mentioned after William
Deatherage, Medford lawyer
and Democrat, suggested the
screening committee be aban
doned and let Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) and Congress
man - Elect Robert Duncan
(D-Ore.) make the selection
from applications submitted.
Morse, as senior senator
from Oregon, normally would
make the postmaster recom
mendation to the U.S. Postal
Service. This recommendation
plus results of a civil service
examination would decide the
appointment.
Following a series of mo
tions and counter motions,
the central comn.Utee re
ferred to the execul.'ve com
mittee a motion to allow the
postal department to decide
on a rural carrier appoint
ment without recommenda
tions. The screening committee
has received more than 50
applications for postmaster.
Those wishing to apply may
obtain more information from
Robert Boycr, 28 North Oak

Surveillance of
Cuba From Air
To Be Continued
Warplanes May
Protect Flights
Washington -ft'PIl- The State
Department said today U. S.
aerial surveillance of Cuba
will continue despite Fidel
Castro's threat to shoot down
the reconnaissance aircraft.
Earlier, other administra
tion officials said the United
States was prepared to send
heavily armed warplanes to
protect the reconnaissance
planes.
The State Department made
no mention of whether war
planes would be used, but
said this country would take
whatever steps are necessary
until a "better" means is avail
able to protect against threats
from Cuba.
"Individual countries of the
hemisphere must take what
ever steps are necessary to
guard against threats to their
peace and security," a spokes
man said.
Asked whether this meant
U.S. aerial surveillance of Cu
ba would continue indefinitely
until a better system of verifi
cation was worked out, de
partment press officer Joseph
Reap replied, "precisely."
The department statement
reinforced early reports from
other sources which said there
was no weakening of Presi
dent Kennedy's determination
to defend high level and low
level surveillance flights over
Cuba.
Flights to Continue
The other sources said these
flights would continue until
the Communists complied
with Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev's pledge to per
mit United Nations verifica
tion that all offensive weap
ons have been removed from
Cuba.
Government sources said
there has been no firing at the
U.S. reconnaissance planes
over Cuba during the past
two weeks.
The Slate Department based
its justification for the sur
veillance squarely on resolu
tions approved by the Ameri
can hemisphere nations Oct.
23. These resolutions gave full
backing to Kennedy's actions
to meet the threat of offensive
missiles in Cuba.
"The crucial importance of
surveillance for the peace of
the Caribbean," the State De
partment said, "was demon
strated by the events of Oc
tober." "All efforts to obtain better
means of observation and veri
fication in Cuba have so far
been rejected by the Castro
regime."
U.S. officials said the Unit
ed States probably would lose
little time In issuing a formal
replay to Castro's threat, made
in a letter to UN Secretary
General Thant.
Chlorine Added
To Medford Water
The Medford water depart
ment is adding small amounts
of chlorine to the water sup
ply as a precautionary meas
ure to maintain the water
purity since t h e extreme
heavy rains in October, Rob
ert L. Lee, water superintend
ent, has announces.
The chlorine was first add
ed Thursday.
Lee noted that since the
heavy October rains the water
has not measured up to its
usual high standards. While
the rainfall has since returned
to near normal, the water
quality has not.
Lee explained Hit the neces
sity for chlorination is hoped
to be only temporary. The wa
ter is regularly tested for
quality and chlorination will
be discontinued as soon as
possible.
The addition of chlorine to
the water supply was ap
proved Thursday by the Med
ford water commission.
Lee noted that the amount
of chlorine added is one pound
per 10,000,000 pounds of wa
ter. At this concentration, he
continued, only a few people
can detect the presence of
chlorine In the water. The
chlorine is added as a point
below Big Butte Springs and
is generally dissipated before
the water gets to the users.

Chinese Launch
Biggest Attack
01 Border War
New Delhi " (UPI) - Chinese
Communist troops today
launched their biggest attack
in more than three weeks on
the eastern front and a 'fierce
battle is 'raging," an official
Indian spokesman said.
The massive Red assault ap
parently was triggered by a
successful Indian attack on
Red hill positions In the bor
der area of the North East
Frontier Agency.
It coincided with reports
that Prime Minister Jawahar
lal Nehru had rejected Red
Chinese conditions for a cease
fire as a prelude to negotia
tions to end the undeclared
Himalayan border war.
927 Indians Captured
The Communist Chinese
Foreign Ministry today re
ported that 927 Indian offi
cers and enlisted men have
been captured thus far.
In a Peking broadcast, mon
itored in Tokyo, the ministry
said captives included Brig.
J. P. Calvi, commander of the
7th Indian Infantry Brigade.
Earlier this week, Nehru
told parliament that about
7,000 Indian troops were put
out of action - killed, wound- '
ed or missing - at the height
of the battle that raged after
the massive Red invasion on
Oct. 20.
Reparable Toys
Sought by Firemen
Firemen reported today that
they still need broken but re
parable toys for their annual
Christmas projects.
The firemen repair and
paint the toys for distribution
to youngsters of needy fami
lies. There is a need particular
ly at this time for wheel toys
and for those which need re
painting. Toys may be brought to the
main fire station. Persons
who have toys but no way to
bring them may call the fire
station on its business tele
phone and arrange to have
them picked up.
High Court
M. Holmes or Cash R. Per-

Anderson said it has not
been determined who would
lake the case before the high
court but he said at least one
Portland attorney was Inter
ested in doing so.
Anderson is active In the
American Civil Liberties Un
ion but there was no Indica
tion that the ALCU have de
cided to enter the case.
Miss Freeman, convicted of
throwing a 6-year-old boy to
his death in the Crooked Riv
cr Gorge In Central Oregon
last year, would be the first
woman to be executed in
Oregon.
