Public Cautioned To Keep Away from Scene Of Airplane Accidents By GUY W. FARMER . The crash of a T-33 jet target airplane Sunday in the Stewart Lenox area west of Klamath Falls iHKRALD AND XKWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. California Republicans Hear Nixon ' EL SEGUNDO (UPH Formei Vice President Richard M. Nixon Jays, "'There's a spirit running in Jhe slate the people want a change in Sacramento. t Sacramento is the capital where pemocrat Gov. Edmund G. Brown ias been serving since 1958. I Nixon, in an address to the an nual convention of the California! Republican Assembly which end-1 jed Sunday, predicted the Repub lican party will win the governor ship of California in 11162 and ;ehow increased strength through out the state. . He did not mention any political ;aspirations of his own, although ;he already has announced he will not be a candidate for governor. ; The three-day conference ended with the 5ft0 assembly members passing a resolution to oppose communism but at the same time comdemning extremist organiza tions which recklessly use t h e 'charge of communism to slander persons. Robert C. Lindscy, San .Jose, a trucking executive, was elected president to succeed G. Harvey TVTydland, Whittier. Mydland was named executive of the California Republican Development Fund. Other officers elected included Jack Pedder. Lafayette, secre tary; James Flournoy, Los Ange les, assistant secretary; William Ventre Jr., Gilroy, treasurer; Ed gar L. McCoubrey, Palm Springs, assistant treasurer, and Earl Sun Louie, San Francisco, sergeant at arms. Assembly delegates adopted a resolution chiding the California Democratic Council for approving United Nations Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson's statement he felt Red China eventually would be admitted to the world organiza tion. Other resolutions urged: Defeat of Assembly bills to allow candidates in local elections lo place their party affiliations after their names on the ballot and limiting absentee balloting. Stiller Narcotics Penalties Support of laws for sliffer penalties against narcotics ped dlers. Reorganization of the Califor nia executive branch to reduce overlapping agencies. raised the question of what would happen in the event of an accident involving one of Kingsley Field's muclear-armed F-101B Voodoos. Although Kingsley's flying safe ty record has been outstanding, the base is constantly practicing air and ground emergency proce dures. The base's rescue uni were on the scene Sunday m i n- ules after the crash. Kingsley's lone fatality in two years of flying was Lt. Clarence! E. Peoples, a radar observer whoi ejected at sea in April 1'JtiO after the canopy inadvertently ripped off an F-101B in flight. Although Peoples died, the pilot, Capt. Coleman Baker, brought the crip pled jet back to the field. The Voodoo is capable of car rying two nuclear "Genie" rock ets and two "falcon" heat or ra dar-seeking missiles. Chances are that in normal flying activities, the 101s at Kingsley would not be nuclear armed. Unlike Strate gic Air Command bombers, which carry atomic weapons in train ing, interceptors usually carry dummy weapons on training mis-i sions. Even if a Voodoo were armed with "Genies," there would be no danger from nuclear explosion in the event of a crash. The "Ge nie" cannot be exploded acci dentally. It must be detonated by a precise method by the aircrew and radar-controlled weapons sys tem. The most serious hazard in any jet crash is the possible ex plosion of thousands of pounds of jhigh octane jet fuel. A lesser danger in a 101 crash would be the possible detonation of high explosives carried in the weapons. The explosives could be triggered by impact with the ground. Air Force officials have' cautioned that radioactive mate-: rial could be scattered in the area. If a nuclear-armed interceptor, or bomber crashed locally, sev eral Kingsley Field units would go into action. A special nuclear weapons team of experts would monitor the area for radioactiv ity. Fire fighting units would be in action and Air Police would secure the area from curiosity seekers. A fully equipped rescue heli copter would be scrambled from base operations to stand by to pick up survivors and rush them to medical - attention. Medical teams, including a doctor, would be dispatched from the base dis pensary. A giant "dinosaur" type crane would lift chunks of wreck age.

Ejection Procedure Is Vital Training Point WASHINGTON lUPI' - Presi-i dent Kennedy wants Congress! lo provide for more research on new uses for agricultural products a field in which the Congress it-j self has been anxious lo get more action for a long time. Kennedy's special farm message last week called for expansion of, agricultural research in threcl fields marketing, nutrition, and especially utilization. The President put special em phasis on utilization research the kind of studies which have al ready developed such things as a new process for using animal fats in making plastic, and new meth ods for making wash-and-wear clothing from cotton and wool The government now puts about S18 million a year into research on new uses for farm products, less than one-third of the total rc seaich budget. Proposals to scl up a so-called "cash" program to find new uses for farm surpluses have won the support of many members of Con gress in recent years. A bill pro posing a $100 million a year utili zation research program has twice been passed in the Senate. Kennedy did not propose any thing on this scale in his message last week. But he said the rela tively small spending on utiliza tion research in the past has al ready produced good results. And he said the proportion of the re search effort devoted to utilization studies ought to be increased. When the President's budget (or (he 1962 fiscal year reaches Cap itol Hill, it will also include pro-1 posed increases for aid to soil con servation districts, for developing small watersheds, and (or forestry programs. j When the detailed drafl of Pres ident Kennedy's new long-range (arm program goes to Congress, it may include an emergency sec-: tion providing a one-year surplus reduction program (or wheat.
