MEDFORD MAP, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1940.
FREE PHONE CALLS
IN MEDFORD AREA
(Continued from rage Ou.)
Fluhrer bakery, said that as "a
matter of principle" Jackson
ville should be considered as a
suburb of Itcdford, though he
added the proposed toll would
not mean much to his company
in dollars and cents.
Frank P. Farrell, city attor
ney for Medford, testified that
the "unofficial" view of the city
council was that It Is opposed
to any change in service that
would be detrimental to Med
ford. He did not elaborate upon
the statement.
C. S. Mason of Seattle, com
pany auditor, testified that reve
nues of the Medford exchange
in 1938 were (137,898.36, and
operating expenses $133,183.31,
leaving a balance net revenue
of $4,813.03. The balance net
revenue in 1939, he said, was
$8,929.33. The balance net reve
nue for 1941, reflecting the pro
posed rate changes and toll im
position and based on a contin
uance of normal station in
creases, he estimated at $20,285.
Party Line Protest
A lengthy discussion was cre
ated by two letters of protest
to the commission from Med
ford subscribers regarding the
change from full-selective tele
phone bell ringing on four party
lilies to semi-selective under Die
dial system, each four-party us
er now having to identify one
of two rings. Fred D. Scholl of
Portland, the company's gener
al commercial manager, said
the ringing of bells was only
one of many Inherent disadvan
tages of four-party lines and
emphasized the company aimed
to give the best service possible
in all categories.
No objections were entered
to proposed changes In hotel
rates.
The hearings were conducted
for the commissioner by T. O.
Russell, the commission's chief
engineer. Taking part also were
T. T. Naylor, telephone engineer,
nd Alvin W. Kurtz, attorney
for the commission.
At the conclusion of the hear
ing in Jacksonville yesterday,
the telephone company was
given 30 days and Herbert K.
Hnnna, attorney for Jackson
ville. 13 days thereafter in
which to file briefs.
Category Different
In answer to questions by
jur. Manna, R. j. Collins, Port
land, the company s general
commercial engineer for the
Oregon area, explained that
both Phoenit and Talent are
not In the :ame category as
Jacksonville as to type of serv
ice. That Is why, he said, there
is no toll charge between Med
ford and Phoenix and Ashland
ajid Talent.
The proposed Jacksonville
telephone rate changes would
bring reductions to all but one
classification of station service
and would impose a toll charge
of five cents on calls between
Jacksonville and Medford and
Medford and Jacksonville. It
was the toll charge against
which the people of Jackson
ville protested.
Jacksonville telephone users
gave testimony against the pro
posed toil charge after the com
pany had presented Its case.
Gist of the arguments against
the toll was that Jacksonville
was really a suburb of Medford.
most of the telephone business
was done with Medford or vice
versa, users could not afford to
have telephones if they had to
pay for calls to Medford and
Jacksonville had become a resi
dential district because, in part,
of the free Jacksonville-to-Med-ford
telephone service.
Petition Presented
Ray Wilson, owner of a con
fectionery store and firt chief.
presented a petition against the
proposed toll. It was signed by
32 telephone users and Mr. Wil
son said he could have pro
cured more names if he had
had time. He asserted that if
the toll goes into effect, SO per
cent of Jacksonville telephone
subscribers would give up their
phones and that would increase
the fire hazard by reducing the
places from which fires could
be reported.
Others speaking againn the
proposed toll charge included
A. L. Beck, Jacksonville school
superintendent; O. M. Kesler.
manager of the Rogue River
sanitarium; C. A. Smith, water
master of district 13; Mayor
Wesley Hartman, Henry Nieder
meyer, William Campbell, gar
age owner; Mrs. Roy V. Mar
tin, Mrs. E. R. White, John B.
Hamaker, merchant, and John
Heckert, service station owner.
Just before the hearing was
closed, a telegram was received
from Paul Godward and James
W. Grlgsby, who reside In Jack
sonville and operate a printing
business In Medford. The two
men said they would discon
tinue their telephones if and
when the proposed toll charge
went into effect.

In the accidental death of his
wife and, seeing, too, his little
country once more blasted into
smoking ruins at a battlefield
in the age-old quarrel between
Germany and France and Eng
landdecided his highest duty
was to prevent further blood
shed. Mala Army Through
Premier Hubert Plcrlot an
nounced, contrary to the mon
arch's order to lay down arms,
that Belgian forces which could
be reorganized would continue
their fight on the allies side.
All indications were, how-
ever, that the main Belgian
army the Germans said be
tween 400,000 and 300.000 men
had ceased to fight and that
only minor units or new levies
raised from among the throng
of Belgian refugees In France
would be at the disposal of the
Belgian government.
While Frenchmen In the
streets of Paris cried "Treason!"
at the news of King Leopold's
capitulation, Churchill told com
mons the British and French
governments "vould ignore Leo
pold's action. He was wildly
cheered as he declared:
"Nothing which may happen
to us in this battle can in any
way relieve us of our duty to
defend the world cause to which
we have bound ourselves."
With the German high com
mand declaring that the allied
armies "pocketed" in Flanders
were doomed. British naval
spokesmen hinted that the Brit
ish expeditionary force was pre
paring to withdraw from the
battle In Belgium.
Nails Claim Successes
At the heighth of the furore
created by King Leopold's sud
den surrender, the German high
command announced a new ser
ies of smashing nazi successes.
Hitler's mechanized columns
broke through strong French
border forticiations "on a broad
front," the high command said,
and captured numerous towns
and villages in the giant
"squeeze" movement on the
trapped allied armies in Flan
ders. The British cabinet quickly
met at No. 10 Downing street
to consider the grave conse
quences of the Belgian army's
capitulation.
The Belgian monarch's decis
ion to lay down arms came at
the most critical hour in the
I struggle for mastery of the Eng
! lish channel.
The nazi high command re
ported its armies had driven to
l within six miles of Bruges. Bel-
glum, and had partly broken
allied resistance In the battle of
Artois and Flanders.
The German break-through,
it said, was made north of Val
enciennes. Other njzl hordes crossed the
strategic Scheldt canal and cap
tured Orchies and Douai,
French towns south of Lillie.
the high command announced.
Foreign circles in Rome ex
pected the Belgian surrender
to hleA Zii'e long-awaited
entrance Into the war to help
Germany "finish off the allies
and win share of the victor's
spoils.
