MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1962 Four Sections No. 212 Cuban Exiles Tell Of Plans For New 'Raids' Miami -(UPD- A Cuban exile group known as "Commandos L-66" Saturday warned the Castro regime to expect new hit-and-run raids on Cuba now that the United States naval blockade has ended. At the same time. Dr. Au reliano Sanchez Arango, lead er of the Triple-A organiza tion, said in an interview that "the days of the terrorist re gime of Cuba are numbered." Triple - A was originally founded by Sanchez Arango years ago for the under ground struggle against de posed strongman Fugencio Ba tista. Commandos L-66 is the new name of the old Alpha 66 or ganization which recently split up into two groups. One group adopted the new name; the other retained the name Alpha 66. A spokesman for Comman dos L-66 said: "We are going to renew raids on Cuba as soon as pos sible. We now have enough money to carry out the first new action." Ignoring apparent United States policy toward discour aging such raids, the spokes man appealed to both Cuban exiles and Americans to sup port the group's military plans with contributions. There was no indication where the projected raids would be launched from or what equipment might be used. Air Travel Poll To Be Conducted The aviation committee of the Medford Chamber of Commerce Friday afternoon completed the draft of a questionaire concerning com mercial air travel to and from Medford. The completed form, which contains nine questions, will be mailed to a representative list of about 436 individuals and companies in the area to determine their flight schedul ing needs. Air travel with the three commercial airlines at the municipal airport has steadily declined in recent months, statistics reveal. The chamber committee, feeling that inconvenient flight schedules may be a ma jor factor in the decline, de cided to sample user prefer ences with an aim toward pos sible revision of the airlines' flight patterns. Manville Heiscl, chairman of the aviation committee, said that extra questionnaires will be available at the chamber office and at the airlines' of fices at the airport for per sons who may wish to have their preferences counted in the survey.

Sanchez Arango, one time foreign minister in the gov ernment of President Carlos Prio, said Cuban exiles many of whom were badly disappointed when the United States ended its blockade of Cuba have no cause to feel that Washington is embark ing on a "coexistence" policy with the Castro government. "We interpret recent de velopments as an undeniable triumph of enormous tran scendency for United States policy in the fight against the Soviet bloc and against the Cuban regime which has re sulted in the democratic bloc of nations assuming the ini tiative it lost 10 years ago," Sanchez said. "The Soviet bloc, especial ly the Soviet Union itself, has been forced on the defensive." He said as result of these developments his Triple-A or ganization, an independent group, is "backing United States policy" toward Cuba. This policy has "fortified relations among the Latin American nations, he said. Meanwhile, Cuba Saturday began demobilizing its crisis activated militia units, called to arms Oct. 22 just before President Kennedy's blockade speech. Caravans of trucks loaded with grimy, bearded militia men poured into hometowns all over the island Friday night and Saturday. In most cities stay-at-home revolution ary organizations staged wel come parades and demonstra tions. O f f 1 cial communications media exhorted the returning militiamen to waste no time returning to the production front "so that battle also can be won." Soviet First Deputy Pre mier Anastas Mikoyan was officially reported visiting people s farms Saturday in easternmost Oriente province where the U. S. naval base at Guantanamo bay is located. (A Havana radio broadcast heard in Miami said Mikoyan would make his farewell ad dress to the Cuban people over radio and television to day. Later, it was learned that he will leave Monday. Mikoy an has held six formal meet ings with Premier Fidel Cas tro and other Cuban leaders since he arrived in Havana three weeks ago.) Soviets Take Steps To Bolster Economy Moscow -HIPP- Premier Ni kita S. Khrushchev and the Soviet Communist party cen tral committee appeared Sat urday to have reached some predictable but highly debata ble solutions in their week long search for ways to boost efficiency of the Soviet econ omy. Among the impressions that have emerged for study by Western experts here after the full central committee meeting which ended Friday night are: No major cuts in military or space spending. Thus no new massive investment in the civilian economy Is In the offing. Attempts will be made Instead to boost production by having Communist pauy offi cials watchdogging and con trolling the nation's planning system and its factory and farm production from top to bottom. hiitoric San Juan Capiitrano ot Int swallows. ,4 - SIGN OF PROGRESS An indication that work on Inter state Highway S is progressing rapidly is this scene south of Ashland. The path of the existing highway has been altered at this point, where the new freeway will branch off from the present route. The recently completed detour Administration Warns Cold War Isn't Over Yet Washington -IUPI)- The Ken nedy administration was em barked Saturday on the task of tempering free world op timism over the outcome of the Cuban showdown with the firm reminder that tough cold war struggles lie ahead. Officials derived solid sat isfaction that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's w 1 1 h- drawal of missiles and bomb ers from Cuba represented a substantial victory. May Be Oversold But there was concern that the American public and the allies may have been over sold on the scope of its long range significance. . Administration policy mak ers were making plans to ex ploit the broad peace possi bilities that emerged from the Cuban crisis but they were wary of raising false hopes that the tensions of the cold war would vanish overnight. They noted there was no assurance that Knrusncnev, in the face of his setback, might not decide to get tough er in Berlin or other areas. The Kremlin leader also could very quickly launch a new "peace offensive" aimed at dividing the allies and tak ing advantage of any U. S. complacency. Soft Pedal' The "soft pedal" approach was taken Friday night by a top administration spokesman, Assistant Secretary of State for International Affairs Har lan Cleveland. In a Philadelphia speech, Cleveland said that any as sumption that Khrushchev's backdown in Cuba signalled a general Communist retreat was nothing but "bottled-in-bond mythology." He deplored the fact that because of the Cuban success, too many people "immediate ly Jumped to the conclusion that we shall wake some Fri day morning and discover that the horrors and threats and sweat and struggles of the past decade and a half were no more than bad dreams . . ." Cleveland acknowledged, as the President did this week, that the way might be open ing for progress on East-West disputes but he warned against any complete Russian turnabout. Mushroom Drug May Be Used in Training Mexico City -flIPD- Mexico's "magic mushrooms'" which produce hallucinations may be used to help choose the first American to reach the moon. Dr. John D. Reed of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space administration said here. Reed told a press confer ence that one difficulty en countered in training astro nauts is that they know the ilmulated emergencies they go through are not really dan gerous. "We have been considering the use of hallucination-producing drugs to make a train ee feel a simulated flight is the real thing," Reed mid. Jm Big Bird Believed Cause Of Air Crash In Which 17 Died Ellicott City, Md. - (UPD -CAB Investigators said Satur day that a big, white feathered bird may have collided with a United Airlines Viscount and damaged its stabilizer just be fore the crash which sent 17 persons to their death near here Friday. George A. Van Epps, chief of the Civil Aeronautics Board investigating team, said that the carcass of a large bird was found near a part of the plane's tail assembly which apparently sheered off before the crash. Van Epps also said that blood and white feathers were found on a part of the left rear stabilizer, which was about one quarter of a mile away. Missing Hunters Found By Deputies Two missing hunters, John Wallace Morris and his wife, Cecilia, route 1, box 491, Tal ent, were found Saturday morning by Jackson county sheriff's deputies. The couple had been miss ing in the Long Prairie area over-night. Deputies encoun tered them coming down the Copco rd. They told the search party that their pickup truck had become stuck in the mud. Milo Fetter, Talent, had re ported the couple lost when they failed to return by 6:30 p.m. Friday. They had gone into the area to hunt with bow and arrow. Two regular deputies and three members of the sheriff's reserve were dispatched this morning to scout the area.

Earlier, construction crews re aligned the Southern Pacific railroad tracks and built a new overpass as an initial part of the project. Although the CAB refused to speculate, the investigators admitted the possibility that the Newark - to Washington plane might have struck the large bird, apparently about the size of a goose or swan. ' The impact could have dam aged the Viscount's stabilizing equipment and thus caused the T" . !"u" . to' of control, according to the theory. ' . : - ' , i This possibility will, be in vestigated by the CAB in its probe of the disaster. The investigators said that only a very small portion of the stabilizers integral parts of the tail control were found at the actual crash scene. The other portions were found at such a distance from this that the possibility was raised they were separated from the plane before it hit the ground. Steep Angle Van Epps said the inquiry to date indicated that the plane plumetted into a wooden thicket near a corn field at a very steep angle of descent" and apparently landed upside down. This tended to verify the eyewitness account of one small boy who told reporters yesterday he saw the plane turn over on its back before it struck. Former Grants Pass Woman Found Dead Fresno, Calif.

Fifteen persons who attend ed the earlier meeting gener ally agreed the present fair grounds south of Medford is not large enough for including a horse arena and track, plus room for an open class county lair and 4-H and FFA ex hibits. Horsemen present said 20 acres would be needed for a thre-quarter mile race track. A quarter of a mile is needed for a straightaway. Stanley Zapell, newly elect ed secretary, said then the first thought should be for the H and FFA and the fair should be built around them.

Defense Dept. Orders Development' Of Revolutionary New Supersonic Plane Washington -1UPI1- The De fense department contracted Saturday for development of a revolutionary new super ionic Jel fighter for use by both the Air Force and the Navy. It is the biggest fighter program undertaken by the United States since World War II. Two versions of the plane one capable of operating from land bases and one from Navy carriers will be developed by the Convalr division of General Dynamics Corp. at Fort Worth, Tex. It was se lected for the job over the Boeing Co., Seattle, Wash. Known as the TFX for tactical fighter, experimental the plane is expected to cost close to SS billion. But officials said this would be a saving of $1 billion com pared to the cost of entirely separate planes for the Navy and Air Force. The development contract calls for building 22 test mod els In the next two and half yean, at a probable cost of U.S., Britain Boosting Aid New Delhi -(UPD- India Sat urday asked Communist China for "clarification" of its three-day border war cease fire. It was the first Indian diplomatic recognition of the one-sided truce offer and came as U.S. and British teams began formal talks on massive militia aid for India. London dispatches said the British and American missions De Gaulle Favored To Score 2nd Victory Today Paris - (UPD - The trium phant De Gaulle bandwagon Saturday rolled toward the second round of France's par liamentary general elections with most observers predict ing it would score another vic tory. Communist gains also were expected in today's polling for the national assembly. Crippling losses were fore cast for the creaky alliance of old-time parties whose revolt against President Charles De Gaulle two months ago touch ed off a political crisis and resulted in the present elec tions. Only Inut The only issue reany in doubt was whether DeGaulle's Union for the New Republic (UNR) would obtain an abso lute majority in the new na tional assembly (lower house). De Gaulle and his wife left Paris Saturday afternoon for their country home at Colom- bey-Les-Deux-Egllses where they will vote as usual. In the first round last Sun- dav the UNR. originally ex pected to lose heavily, scored an overwhelming upset vic tory by winning nearly one- third of the Dopular votes, Under the French voting system only those candidates who win an absolute majority of votes in their own constituency-are elected in the first round. There are 485 assembly seats for metropolitan France. The results of 98 of these McNeil Awaits Arrival of Turkey Following Game "Next time beware of betting against profes sionals!" So ended a telegram sent Saturday by Med ford Chamber of Com merce Manager Don Mc Neil to Dale Dunn, Ore gon City, manager of the Tri-City Chamber of Commerce. Wednesday Dunn had staked aClackamas county turkey against a Jackson county gift box of pears on the outcome of the Medford-Orcgon City football game Fri day night. McNeil's telegram stated, "Tough luck. Your team gave a fine performance. Hope tur key is as good." close to $750 million. Follow ing tests, perhaps 1,500 oper ational models in the two ver sions will be built. The Pentagon said the de sign calls for a plane capable of retracting its wings Into a delta or triangular shape for flights at speeds up to 1,1150 miles an hour. The plans will carry all the latest Ivpci of nuclear and conventional weapons and "will be able to fly anywhere In the world In one day." Multi-Billion Coil Full details of the magni tude and cost are subject to negotiation, the department said. "However, it will be a multi-billion dollar program and will surpass any fighter aircraft program since World War II In both numbers and dollars," it laid. Convalr and Boeing had competed keenly for the con tract through 22 months of studies. The department prais ed the excellence of designs submitted by both companies but laid: in New Delhi had been in structed to tell Prime Minis ter Jawaharlal Nehru the two nations were ready to give India "any assistance" re quested whether or not it ac cepted Peking's truce terms.

Run-off ballots are being held today in the remaining 369 voting districts. A simple plurality alone is necessary this time. Voting also is being held in seven of the 17 con stituencies in overseas depart ments and territories. The absolute majority of the 48-man national assembly is 242. The most conservative estimates were that the UNR would win at least 188 seata. If last Sunday's De Gaulle landslide gains further mo mentum, the UNR was thought to stand a good chance of winning the abso lute majority 3 East Germans Swim To West Berlin -(UPB- Three young East Germans swam an, icy river to the American sector of West Berlin Saturday and were undetected in their cape to freedom. The swimmers, aged 19, 22 and 27, were picked up by West Berlin police on snow- covered bank of the river. They were hospitalized suffer ing from exposure. The Communist East Ger man News Agency, mean while, charged that arsonists had set fire to an electric transformer on the Commun ist operated elevated railway between East and West Ber lin. It said the fire temporar ily interrupted service on the line. West Berlin police denied any knowledge ot such a fire. The Communist ADN agen cy said the transiormer was located in the American sec tor of West Berlin. The Red agency said that 'this sabotage act against ele vated traffic In West Berlin created great dangers for long distance rail traffic to and from West Germany." ' The Communists long have threatened that Interference with West Berlin's elevated traffic, operated by the Com munists under four-power agreements, might have reper cussions on Western rail ac cess to Berlin. DRUG BANNED Copenhagen - (UPD - Open sale of the sedative drug Post- afen was banned Saturday by Danish health authorities pending an investigation into whether it could cause mal formed babies. The General Dynamics de sign was selected because It offered the best chance of developing an airplane that would be acceptable and com patible with the requirements of the two services." In its operational version, the fighter will be known as the Fill. It will be capable of exceeding the speed of sound at sea level, and to fly two and a half times the speed of sound at high alti tudes. The Navy version will be shorter and lighter than the Air Force type. The Navy plane reportedly will weigh about 60,000 pounds and may have a folding nose and tall to fit into aircraft carrier elevators. The retractable wings dispense with the usual need for folding wings in large carrier planes. Nevertheless, the Air Force and Navy versions will he about 80 per cent Identical.

Meanwhile Communist China has offered Pakistan a non-aggression pact that In cludes assurances of military help to Pakistan against ag gression from any quarter, usually reliable sources said Saturday. Foreign Minister Moham mad All would neither con firm nor deny the reports but he said he would visit Com munist China in the near fu ture and It was understood he would discuss it then. No date for his Peking visit was set. First reports of the non-aggression pact were printed in the English Daily Dawn in Karachi. The newspaper said the Chinese had no objection to continued Pakistani mem bership in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) and the Central Treaty Organ ization (CENTO). Both were formed to fight Communist aggression. ject to negotiations.

Not Cumb.riomt But the weight will not make it cumbersome, the de partment said. The plane will be able to "take off from rough air fields In forward areas, and will have a short landing capa bility," a Pentagon spokes man said. Originally, plans called for a "tri-scrvlce" fighter, also calling for adaptability to pro vide close troop support for the Army. But designers said they could not meet this requirement. L
