Secrecy Surrounds
Trial of Holla
Nashville, Tonn. - H'PIt - A
strengthened force of U. S.
marshals wrapped a tight se
curity cloak around the fed
eral court trial of Teamsters
President James R. Hoffa to
day despite the objection of
defense attorneys.
Judge William E. Miller or
dered six extra bailiffs in the
courtroom after a slender
young laborer attempted to
shoot down Hoffa with an air
pistol during proceedings
Wednesday.
Hoffa was struck by two
of the pellets but said he was
not hurt. His assailant, who
Identified himself as Warren
Swanson of Washington, D.C.,
was held on a contempt of
court charge.
Miller also ordered the mar
shals to search everyone en
tering the courtroom for the
remainder of the SI million
conspiracy trial. He locked up
the jury Wednesday night and
said he would decide today
whether to leave it locked up
for the duration of the trial
which is now in its seventh
week and is expected to last
until Christmas.

491 Cases of Flu
Reported in State
Portland - JPH The State
Board of Health said Thurs
day 491 persons in Oregon
were reported to have the flu
during the week ending last
Saturday.
The board said the figure
was considerably lower than
the number of cases reported
for the comparable week last
year.
Annual total to dale is 24,
026 cases which compares
with 20.03B a year ago. The
health board said, however,
the higher figure for this year
is inflated by a rash of cases
in January which resulted
from an outbreak in Decem
ber of 1961.
NO UMBRELLA? Gretchen, above, who
visited the Mail Tribune newsroom Wednes
day, looked positively stunning in her win
ter outfit ... a checked coat and rubber
boots front and rear. Gretchen is owned by
Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Newman, Holiday tnn.
Medford. Mrs. Newman explained to Gret
chen that the boots and coat were to keep
her from catching cold, but, from the look
on her face, Gretchen still feels a little
silly in them , . . particularly when getting
her picture taken.

Airport Rental Rates Are
Included in Controversy
Among other things, Doug
lass alleged that rental rates
charged by the city are out
of line with those charged by
comparable airports else
where in the state. He sug
gested the city contact the
state board of aeronautics for
data on rates charged by
other cities.
Gutjahr said today that
"rental rates now in effect
(at the Medford airport) are
comparable with rates at
other similar airports and
were established by the coun
cil in 1958." The airport man
ager pointed out that "the
first operator to be charged
the revised schedule of rental
rates was able to operate a
highly successful and profit
able business."
Douglass said that a "stand
ard of operation at the airport
is desperately needed." He

charged that "illegal, irre
sponsible operators" are di
luting the customer market
to the point that established
flight operators cannot profit
ably operate their businesses.
He said the unfair competi
tion is coming from private
plane owners who do their
own maintenance work and
who engage in instruction and
charter flights.
Correeliva Action Asked
"Some corrective action is
absolutely essential," he de
clared. Gutjahr responded to the
accusation by saying, "There
is no evidence that aircraft
have been repaired or over
hauled in places other than
repair shops.
"As concerns private chart
er flights and instruction, the
airport, is a public airport
available for use by the gen
eral public. The practical dif
ficulty of determining which
of more than 100 daily flights
involve a monetary considera-;
tion should be obvious. The;
airport department is not
staffed to undertake such reg
ulations, if indeed they were
feasible under the law,"
Costs Quoted in Leas
Gutjahr underscored that
Rogue Flying Service had
entered into the lease in full
knowledge of the rental rates,
that presumably "such costs
were included in the price of
products and services sup
plied by the firm to its cus
tomers, and that the account
had been delinquent during
the past two years.
"No satisfactory proposals
for settlement of the debt
have been marie by the offic
ers of Boguc Flying Service
during that lime," Gutjahr
said.

Covered Payrolls
Under Top Figure
Salem - (CPU - Covered em
ployment in Oregon last year
averaged 4,000 below the rec
ord 1960 figure, the Research
and Statistics division of the
State Department of Employ
ment said today,
A review of 1961 employ
ment information published
today by the department
showed covered employment
averaged 419,926 during 1961.
Topping employment losses
were the lumber and wood
products industries. Construc
tion activity also showed an
appreciable letup. Smaller
losses were recorded in most
manufacturing industries and
the transportation, utilities
and trade groups.
Service establishments and
financial institutions showed
increases.
Although the number of
employed was down, covered
payrolls totaled $2,068,565.-
287 during 1961, an increase
of nearly $30 million over
1960.
