Hamilton, Bermuda UFD A small freighter possibly a Canadian ship en route home from Cuba was sighted listing badly in still stormy seas Saturday night by an airplane looking for bodies of more crewmen from an aban doned Greek freighter. The Coast Guard here, now directing the search for 18 crewmen lost at sea when they abandoned the burning Greek freighter SS Captain George, said the second ship in distress was listing almost 25 degrees. Shortly before the plane saw flares from the small freighter, bodies of crewmen from the 422-foot Captain George were sighted in the water. The Coast Guard said its cutter Mendota had picked up three of the bodies in seas still running 30 feet high. An airplane circling the smaller vessel radioed it had seen a small boat over its side but could not tell wheth er any crewmen were in it. The pilot estimated the length of the craft at between 150 and 170 feet. (In New York, the Coast Guard said it did not know why the vessel had not ra dioed an SOS or its name. (But a spokesman said one ship was reported overdue in that area the Canadian East Star, a 155-foot vessel that left Havana Oct, 23 or 24 for the return to Halifax. ; ("I don't know whether this is the ship or not," the spokes man in New York said, "but it's a possibility.") High seas capsized a second lifeboat launched by the Cap tain George Thursday when it was seared by a fire in its ; explosive-loaded hull and buf feted by a fierce storm. The first lifeboat had made it to safety with one of two rescue ships that steamed to the aid of the Captain George. But of the 20 men in the sec ond, only two were rescued. The Coast Guard here said that no SOS had been re ceived from the small freight er, but a spokesman said that atmospheric conditions and the storm were disrupting communications in the area. Motorists Advised To Carry Chains Motorists traveling out of the Rogue valley were advis ed to carry chains this week end, state police reported. There were snow flurries In the Siskiyous and on the Green Springs highway, but is of late Saturday night the pavement was bare. Oregon mountain on highway 199 was clear.

The airfield, which is still unfinished, is dominated by the soaring terminal building designed by the late and famed architect Erro Saarin en. Before his death, the Fin nish 94, Saarinen, designer of such buildings as the TWA terminal at Idlewild and the U. S, Embassy building in London, called Dulles term inal "the best thing I have done." The 600-foot long building represents a giant hammock. The somewhat swaybacked roof is suspended between parallel rows of huge mod ernistic columns that form the front and the back. It has two acres of sloping glass curtain walls. Kennedy said that "this building, I think, symbolizes the aspirations of the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. "I hope it will be possible, building on what has been done here at Dulles airport, that we wil make sure that all of our airports and all of our piers at the seas, and all of the people who work on them, show a face of Amer ica to the world which is our best face." The limited visibility would not have deterred commercial operations. Planes can land and lake off at the field in visibility of a half mile or less. School Bus Goes Over Embankment Vida -4UPS- A school bus plunged over an embankment and came to rest against three trees only 10 feet from the swift-flowing McKenzie river near this Lane county com munity Friday.

The others went on to attend elementary and high school classes at Blue River. Stnie police said the bus skidded 197 fret, went over a 19-fool embankment and overturned against the trees. Officers said it was going about 40 miles an hour when it left the road. Sport Bulletin Phoenix Phoenix High defcaled Eimira 1!) to 0 here lat night in a Oregon Class A-2 quarliT final football game.

Huge Narcotics Raid Nits Eight In California Glendale, Calif. (UPD More than $6 million worth of her oin was confiscated Saturday in one of the biggest narcotics hauls in California history. Six men and two women were taken into custody in a series of raids that climaxed nearly three months of inves tigation by state narcotics agents and local police. G. M. Coster, field supervis or for the State Bureau of Na cotics Enforcement, said the pounds ot pure heroin confiscated in the pre-dawn raids would have brought about $6.4 million on the ille gal "retail" market. He ex plained peddlers customarily "cut" the narcotic, a process of diluting it, before retailing it. Helicopters Used The intensive investigation included such cloak-and-dagger methods as helicopters trailing secretly marked cars with infra-red equipment, use of electronic monitoring de vices, and undercover agents. An undercover agent had gathered the alleged head op erators of the ring together Saturday morning in a motel when 23 narcotics agents and local officers moved in for the initial arrests. About a third of the heroin confiscated was found in the motel, and the rest in a sub sequent raid on a residence in neighboring Los Angeles. Arrested were Francisco Ro driguez, 33, Los Angeles, de scribed by officers as the ring leader, and his brother, Man ual, 31, Torrance; Robert Val demar, alias Bobby Vito, 24, and his wife, Maria, 26, Los Angeles; Donald Mesedo, 24, Highland Park, and his broth er, Daniel, 24, Los Angeles; and Ernest H.

The FBI arrested three leaders of the campaign including a newly arrived at tache to the Cuban UN mis sion who carried a pistol and "secret explosive formulas." Agents said the attache tried to swallow the formulas when caught. Agents said 10 members of their sabotage and espionage "school" had been subpoenaed by a New York grand jury that will hear evidence of what a U.S. attorney called plans to use explosives against ' "men, women and children." Two other members of the Cuban United Nations Mis sion took part in the conspir acy but could not be arrested because of diplomatic immun ity, agents said. Recall Demanded At the United Nations, the United States demanded the immediate recall by Cuba of the two Cuban diplomats and told Cuba the attache was being held for prosecution un- der U. S. law. 1 Agents said the plotters' plans to set off bombs and explosives in New York de partment stores and oil and gasoline refineries across the Hudson' river in New Jersey were ready to be put into ef fect. "It was a question of mov ing in before they had a chance to use the equipment," said John Malone, assistant director in charge of. the FBI office here who helped lead the raids that also upturned a cache of explosives and weapons. Tenants at the building where agents found the cache of explosives on the sixth floor said the plotters were so skillful they had "no idea" anything illegal was going on. Grenades Found The agents found hand gre nades, incendiary devices, de tonators arid other sabotage and guerrilla warfare mate rial in a jewelry workshop operated by Jose Garcia Orel lana, 42, near busy Pennsyl vania station. In addition to Garcia, agents picked up Antonio Sueiro Ca brera, 22, treasurer of a Cu ban social club, and the UN attache, Roberto Santiesteban Casanova, 27. Agents said Garcia and Su eiro were members of the Communist party. Also named as conspirators but not arrested because of their diplomatic status were Jose Gomez Abad, 21, and his wife, the former Elsa Men iere, 20. A federal complaint said the couple supplied in cendiary material and explo sives to Garcia. Ashlander Dies Of Heart Attack Ashland A 71-year-old Ashland man suffered a fatal heart attack Friday afternoon after the inside of his trailer home was gutted by fire. Ashland firemen tried to revive the man, Floyd L, Sam ford, with a resuscitalor, but were unable to do so.

S. officials said Saturday that several thousand Soviet "technicians" still in Cuba are being organized into regular military units for reasons as yet unclear to inteligence analysts here. The development was being watched with increasing con cern because it could balloon into another sticking point in the efforts to solve the Cuban crisis by diplomatic negotia tions. Officials said the Russian technicians" remaining on the island, estimated at ap proximately 4,000, were looking more like regular soldiers every day." There were indications they were being formed into groups of approximately battalion strength. Kennedy Deadline Seen Meanwhile, it appeared to diplomatic authorities that President Kennedy may have set some sort of deadline for Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev to give definite assur ances that he intends to re move the Soviet jet bombers still in Cuba. This was de scribed by top officials as be ing the key issue holding up consideration of all other as pects of the problem. The White House continued its silence on Cuban develop ments. However, officials said that Kennedy, in scheduling a "live" radio-television news conference for Tuesday at 3 p.m. (PST!, obviously expect ed to have some major news on Cuba for the . American public. It could be an announce ment that Khrushchev had agreed to pull out the IL28 twin-jet bombers without at taching unacceptable condi tions. Or it could be a declara tion that the United Slates was being forced to take tougher measures includ ing a cut-off of petroleum for Cuba because the Soviet leader had not come to terms. Several Break-ins Reported To Police Medford police said a series of break-ins were reported Friday. Victor Joseph David, 2948 North Pacific highway, re ported Friday afternoon that a storage shed with living quarters was entered and sev eral items taken from 2421 Howard ave.

Prof, Hans Linde of the University of Oregon school of law, chairman of the draft ing committee oi the commis sion, spoke to some 85 per sons under the auspices of the Medford League of Women Vcffers. He termed the proposed constitution a "neutral docu ment," non-partisan in ap proach, which will damage no particular interests, and which should be judged by whether it is a "good docu ment," better than the exist ing one, and not on the basis of details with which one may agree or disagree. Passage Expected Professor Linde said if it is widely studied that way, and a favorable attitude toward it is generated, he believes it will be passed by the legis lature and referred to a vote of the people. But, he indi cated, if arguments over minor points dominates the discussions, it may fail. Pointing out that not all 17 members of the Revision Commission were unanimous on all points in the document, Professor Linde added that, at the same time, the commis sion is near-unanimous in be lieving they have produced a good Constitution. Lacking time for a detailed, point-by-point explanation of the Constitution, the speaker limited himself to discussing the important changes that would be made, giving some background on the prepara tion of the Constitution, and pointing out that many pro visions which are unchanged are not as "newsworthy" nor as widely discussed as the provisions which do make changes. Oregon is not alone in the field of Constitutional revis ion, he reported; some states have completely revised or adopted new constitutions, and some 20 or more are en gaged in revision to a greater or lesser degree. But if Oregon makes its plan work Revision Com mission presenting a docu ment to the legislature (which in turn may adopt, reject, re vise or rewrite the proposal), and if the legislature presents it to a vote of the people and it is adopted then Oregon will be famous in the field, the speaker stated. The proposal is not a patch work or face-lifting job, Pro fessor Linde said, but is a brand new document. High points of the Constitu tion are these, he said: Annual sessions of the legislature, and a new system of legislative apportionment based on population but more broadly representative than the present one. Only Elective Officer An elected governor (the only state-wide elective of ficer provided by the Consti tution) with broad powers over B maximum of 20 depart ments of government, respon sible for the execution and ad ministration of the laws. A new official called a controller, to be elected or be chosen as the legislature di rects, who will continue the post-audit functions of the secretary of state and perform such other duties as the legis lature may assign. He will serve for an 8-year term, be largely non-political in func tion, and serve as a "watch dog" of state government and the legislature. A non-partisan Judiciary appointed by the governor, whose members, after serving 6-year terms, will run for re election on their record in office. Elimination of much ma terial from the Constitution which is statutory in nature. This wouid remain in effect as legislation but would not have the stature of Constitu tional law. Retention of many good aspects of the present Con stitution, Including the initia tive, referendum and recall., .1 Price 1 0 Cents Six HANS LINDE Warns on Arguments and other provisions which Oregon -voters have indicated they wish retained in the basic charter. Started in 1953 The Constitutional revision movement. Professor Linde expiainea, nas arisen since the war, and is at least in part an outgrowth of the increased power of the federal govern ment, which has grown in many cases because the states were powerless to solve their own problems. In OTegon, the movement is the culmination of discussions first started in 1853 as to the need for a new Constitution, he said, outlin ing the steps preceding the appointment of the Commis sion in imi. The Commission, which will expire at the end of the year, included seven legislat ors, three ludges. and seven public members, including two former1 governors. Thir-j teen of the members were ap pointed by the Senate presi dent and House speaker, two by the governor and two by the chief jtistice of the Oregon Supreme Court. It has been meeting, both as a whole and as sub-committees, for some 16 months. Pub lication of the final draft of the proposed Constitution will be in a couple of weeks. Higher Gasoline Taxes Discussed Salem -flJPI- The Oregon Highway commission is dis cussing the possibility of ask ing the 1863 legislature to in crease the state gasoline tax by one cent a gallon, a spokes man said Friday. Such an increase would up the state's tax per gallon from six cents to seven cents. State Highway Engineer Forrest Cooper said the in crease would bring in another $6.2 million a year. Of this, the state would get about 70 per cent, and the rest would go to cities and counties. Cooper said, "The commis sion feels this is the best way to finance additional needed highway Improvements." A finai decision on whether to ask for the increase hasn't been made, he said. The extra money would be applied to primary, secondary and urban routes only. ' Dismissal Requested in Balloon Bread Cases Deputy District Attorney Thomas Owens Friday after noon filed two motions re questing dismissal of balloon loaf bread charges against Beck's and Fluhrer's bakeries In Medford.

There was no indication how it might affect a Mexican commercial airline that has been flying into Cuba from time to time. Friday U- S. Ambassador Arthur H. Dean said at the United Nations that the Unlt- ea states would use? "alt means necessary" to protect the western hemisphere against danger from Cuban soil. Pentagon sources said the United States was pre pared to protect its recon naissance flights with fighter plane escorts.

Balloon bread is that which weighs one pound, but ap pears heavier because it is baked in a Hi pound pan. ,"5
