Medlord Man Dies
After House Fire
Despite Rescue
John Lenard Detweiler, 78,
of 515 Alice st., died Satur
day morning after being res
cued from a smoke filled
house by Medford police and
firemen.
A neighbor, Mrs. Mae Eliz
abeth Remillard, reported to
Medford police at 10:12 a.m.
that smoke was pouring from
the neighboring house and an
occupant was still inside.
Firemen found the man on
the bedroom floor and applied
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Detweiler recovered consci-
ousncss and was taken to Sa
cred Heart hospital by Med
ford Ambulance service. He
died about an hour later.
Firemen said apparently a
heating pad or electric blan
ket caught fire Friday night.
Detweiler put it out, because
remains of some charred ma
terial were found out in the
yard where it apparently had
been thrown out.
However, a spark must
have ignited lh bedding and
the resulting smoke apparent
ly overcame the lone occu
pant of the house.
The body has been taken
to . Perl's Funeral home in
Medford, pending funeral arrangements.

San Francisco-ttIPP- Federal
Mediator Frank O'Neill dou
ble-timed between opposing

clerks from shutting down the
Southern Pacific railroad
with a seven state strike.
If O'Neill fails to bring
about a settlement, a walkout
is certain. It would tie up the
SP in California, Oregon, Ne

Mexico and west Texas, idling
as many as 50,000 persons

O'Neill turned to waiting
newsmen and said, "I know
you're tired of hearing this,
but we're still talking."
The "talking" over the con
troversial issue of men dis
placed by automated equip
ment was expected to contin
ue as long as negotiators
could prop their eyes open.
O'Neill, of the Federal Me
diation board, met first Sat

He then hot-footed It over

and company negotiator K. K.

and a half hours.
Then the unflagging medi
ator returned to the Sheraton
Palace hotel for a second
meeting with McGovcrn, and
possibly James E. Weaver,
chairman of the union's SP
division.
The union has demanded
that Southern Pacific initiate
a program of retraining and
absorbing into the company
men who have lost or will
lose their jobs because of au
tomation. The company's position is
that it cannot agree to a pro
gram that conceivably could
create unnecessary jobs and
retard technical advances.

Moscow -(UPP Soviet Pre
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev
told Canadian newspaper pub
lisher Roy Thomson Satur
day that Americans have no
cause for alarm over the con
tinued presence of Soviet
forces in Cuba.
Thomson quoted Khrush
chev as replying "absolutely
not" when asked whether con
cern in the United States over
Soviet troops and weapons
still in Cuba was justified
Khrushchev added, accord
ing to Thomson, that the So
viet forces on the Communist
island were "weapon instruc
tors, " sent there to teach Cu
bans the us of advanced
weapons with which they had
been supplied and for no oth
er purpose.
Thomson met with Khrush
chev for 2',2 hours in the
Kremlin. During the discus
sions, Thomson told newsmen
that Khrushchev also:
Not Satisfied
Said he was not satisfied
with the state of current So
viet-American relations.
Indicated he regarded the
German problem one of the
most crucial in East-West re
lations. Said he was "not at all
unhappy" about the current
dissension . among the West
ern allies following France's
torpedoing of Britain's bid
for membership in the Euro
pean Common Market.
Suggested the West not
take too much stock in the
long-range effects of the cur
rent disputes between the So
viet Union and Communist
China.
"The Chinese are our
friends and always will be,"
Thomson quoted Khrushchev.
When friends quarrel or dis
agree, it is not terribly serious."
Rusk Asks Soviet
Envoy About
Troop Withdrawal
Dobrynin Gives
Evasive Answer
Washington - (I'PD - Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk point
edly asked Soviet Ambassador
Anatoly F. Dobrynin Satur
day when premier Nikita
Khrushchev plans to keep his
promise to withdraw Russian
troopj from Cuba. He got an
evasive answer.
Rusk pressed Dobrynin
about the Khrushchev pledge
t a one hour and 15 minutes
state department conference.
U.S. sources said the envoy,
parroting remarks Khrush
chev made earlier in Moscow,
contended the troops were
weapon instructors and
there was no cause fur con
cern over their presence.
Dobynin was invited to the
suddenly scheduled meeting
after Rusk had conferred with
President Kennedy. The state
department insisted there was
no "emergency" involved.
Apply Heat
But there was speculation
that the President and Rusk
had decided to apply heat in
an attempt to get swift action.
Khrushchev made his prom
ise during last fall's crisis in
which Kennedy took him to
the brink of nuclear war over
the presence of Soviet mis
siles in Cuba.
Khrushchev said the troops
would be withdrawn "in due
course."
The administration has been
under increasing fire from
congressmen of both parties
over the troop issue.
At his news conference last
week, Kennedy disclosed that
negotiations were under way
on the problem and he hoped
for progress this winter. The
President said that although
about 4,500 Russians left
Cuba after the missile crisis,
about 17,000 remained, with
between 5,000 and 6,000 of
them formed into four combat
battalions.

Diefenbaker Loses
Two More Cabinet
Members in Crisis
Trade and Defense
Ministers Resign
Ottawa -(UPD Two more
members resigned from Prime
Minister John Diefenbaker's
erisis-riddled cabinet Satur
day. Other departures were
expected within hours in a
wave of revolt against the
conservative government's nu
clear arms feud with the
United States.
Trade Minister George Hccs
and Acting Defense Minister
Pierre Sevigny submitted
their resignations to Diefen
baker in letters that took
sharp issue with what they
called an indecisive stand on
defense and a dangerous dis
pute with Washington over
nuclear weapons for Canada
The resignations, handed to
Diefenbaker during a brief
morning meeting at his home,
dealt a sledge-hammer blow
to the Canadian leader and
his party, already faced with
an uphill battle in the April
8 general election.
They came only three days
after Diefenbaker apparently
quelled an open cabinet re
volt against his leadership by
winning a key confidence vote
from his conservative supporters.
Quit In Protest
They followed, too, Defense
Minister Douglas Harkness'
decision last week to quit
the cabinet In protest over
Diefenbaker s refusal to com
mit Canadian forces at home
and in Europe to nuclear
arms.
Hccs also announced that
he will not run in the elec
tion.
There was no immediate
word from the prime minis
ter, who himself could be
forced into resignation by the
latest developments.
Both Hces and Sevigny pin
pointed nuclear defense pol
icy and Diefenbaker s appar
ent decision to feature anti
Americanism in his election
campaign as the prime factors
behind their resignations.
The 52-ycar-old Hees, con
sidered a key man in the Die
fenbaker ministry, said he
felt that the government's
current defense policy "does
not cither fulfill our interna
tional commitments or pro
vide for the security of our
country.
"I have also staled clearly
that I consider the present
attitude of the government
cannot but lead to a deterior
ation of our relations with
the United States," he added
In his letter to the prime minister.

Gov. Nelson Rockefeller said

Rockefeller said In a tele

"The real criticism is in the

those goals and make them
realities," the governor said.
Rockfcllcr was critical of
Kennedy's sweeping tax cut
reform program which car

priority label for enactment
by congress this year.
He said It was difficult to
see how Kennedy's tax pro

The New Yorker, consider

chief rival in the 1964 presi

D e m o c r atic administration
had failed in the fields of
civil rights and transportation
reform.
As fur Kennedy's economic
goals, Rockefeller said:
"The predictions were that

and that we would have a sur

He declared that "transpor
