FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE U.S. Confused About Tito Visit Talks With Soviet By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON 11 The U.S. government is reported to be still completely in the dark and deep ly concerned about the purpose of Yugoslav President Tito's present talks with Russian leaders. In this uncertain situation. State Department officials are consider ing Communist Yugoslavia's ur gent request for emergency Amer ican wheat shipments to meet a severe shortage. There was reason today to be lieve the wheat request may be separated from the broader prob lem confronting President Eisen hower, who faces a decision by Oct. 16 on whether or not Yugo slavia is still eligible for general economic and military assistance from the United States. Doria Captain Faces Queries NEW YORK (UP)-The captain of the sunken Andrea Doria faces cross-examination today on his account of the Atlantic sea dis aster which contradicts testimony of the Stockholm's third officer. Capt. Piero Calamai testified Thursday that the July 25-26 col lision and loss of 50 lives would "certainly" have been averted if the onrushing Stockholm had sig naled it was turning right in the minutes before the crash. The 59-year old Italian Line master said one short blast of the Stockholm's whistle would have given him time to turn his ship to the right and prevent the col lision. Calamai's testimony on the 12th day of the pre-trial hearings to fix the blame for the disaster was sharply contradictory to the ac count of the events leading up to the crash given by the Stock holm's third officer,, Ernest Car-stens-Johannsen. Carstens-Johannsen, 26, claimed the ships would have safely passed if the Andrea Doria had not made a sudden left turn in front of the oncoming Stockholm. The third of ficer said he had ordered the Stockholm's engines . reversed and a hard right turn to avert the crash. Auto Crash Takes Ten VIRDEN, Man. (UP) Ten per sons were killed and one serious ly injured late' Thursday night when two automobiles collided head-on on the Trans - Canada Highway 10 miles -southeast of here. It was the second case of 10 deaths from a single traffic acci dent in as many days. About 24 hours earlier, 10 persons died in a highway collision at Muncie, Ind. Royal Canadian Mounted Police said there were six persons in one car and only the driver survived. All five in the other car were killed. The cars both were 1955 models. One was registered in Saskatche wan and the other -in Manitoba. Four of the victims were chil dren. A woman and the four children were killed in a car bearing. Sas katchewan license plates. A man driving the car was in serious condition in a hospital at Virden. Five men in the other car, which was owned by Standard Oil Com pany, were killed instantly.

FUNERAL SERVICES Funpral sprvices for Nellie Elaine Simonson, 47, who died in Klamath Falls. October 3, will take place from the chapel of Ward's Klamath Funeral Home. Saturday, October 6, 11 a.m. with the Rev. Ted Smith officiating. Concluding services and interment will be in Klamath Memorial Park The Welcome Wagon Hostess Will Knock on Your Door with Gifts & Greetings from Friendly Business, Neighbors and Your Civic and Social Welfare Leaders On the occasion of: The Birth of a Baby Engagement Announcements Arrival of Newcomers to Klamath Falls Phon. TU 4-6185 . (No coat or obligation) . The best available Information is that Eisenhower may announce then that he is without suificient information to rule on the broad question but that he believes Yu goslavia to be qualified for U.S. wheat shipments. , On the whole Yugoslav aid pro gram, Congress specified that such help be halted entirely unless Eisenhower determines by Oct. 16 not only that Yugoslavia is follow ing an independent foreign policy but that continuing economic and arms aid to her would be in the national interest. There is hope at the State De partment that before the deadline for this decision, there will be some word from Tito, relayed by U.S. Ambassador James W. Hid dlcberger. Dispatches from Bel grade and Moscow indicated Tito might return home today. Utncials here tend to discount the general speculation from Bel grade and elsewhere in Europe that Tito suddenly flew to the Crimea with Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev to help defend Khrushchev against colleagues critical of the program to discredit Joseph istalin. Official speculation in Washing ton tends to the line that Khrush chev asked Tito to go to Russia to debate Yugoslavia's relations with the Soviet Union and with the Eastern European satellite countries. There is considerable belief here that the Russians have put the strongest possible pressures on Ti to to stop trying to promote great er independence for the satellite countries and to mesh his policies more closely with those of the So viets. , . - Most officials here say they think Tito is determined to retain the independence of action he staked out for himself when he broke with Moscow in 1948.

W A six- jet B47 bomber crashed and ex ploded near here Friday, and a witness said the flames "went a good half mile in the air."

The scene of the crash is. about 18 miles southeast of here. A witness of the crash, Bob Hewitt, told a reporter: "The ex plosion rocked my house and the flames went a good half mile in the air." The plane went down about a mile from Hewitt's "farm home, which is in a district that is part of the runway approach area for March AFB. Hewitt said the plane crashed in a potato field, a mile east of Highway 395. He said he heard no noise that would indicate the big bomber was in trouble as it went over his house. The farmer said he saw no bodies at the scene, nor had he seen any parachutes before the crash.
