EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuaidsy, July 3, 194S RATIFICATION OF Poll Conducted By League of Women Voters Approve Congressional Action. Medford people believe that the congress of the United States should ratify the Unitel Nations charter drawn up at the ban Francisco conference at once and not wait until after the meeting of the Big Three later this month according to a cross section of citizens polled by the Jackson County League of Wo men Voters last week-end. Re sults of the poll were wired to Oregon League headquarters and then to Washington. The charter was introduced In the congress yesterday by Presi dent Truman. Out of the 135 persons polled 123 believed in immediate rati fication, many remarking "the quicker the better." But three . believed ratification should be delayed and nine declined to an swer. The poll was made of 10 merchants, 18 county officers and department heads, nine school principals, 11 profession al people, 10 religious leaders 10 real estate dealers, 9 federal, state and county agency em ployees, seven newspaper staff members, nine men and women working with financial institu tions. 10 orchardists and 29 housewives and others. Among the interesting re marks resulting from the poll were such statements as "Yes, by all means ratify the charter at once, because when power politics begin, the charter will have been forgotten" and "the quicker the charter is ratified, the better its chance to work." Others said "if not quickly, per haps n t ever" and "We're sure this isn't particularly good, but we d like to see It put into use and the flaws adjusted." One person remarked, "Yes, we've got to pass It, but it's a highly political move, lsn t U7 Another said "I don't know , enough about it myself, but have great confidence in Stettl nius." One man thought that the .charter shouldn't be ratified un til after the congress had had a chance for thoughtful discussion, but that this should be complet ed before the Big Three meeting, wnile another person said "No, the charter shouldn't be ratified until after the Big Three have had a chance to talk It over.' ED Approximately 178 Mexican nationals now In the valley working In fruit orchards were moved Friday and Saturday from Camp Prescott to new quarters in army barracks at the Medford air field. The move was made necessary wheei the cook house at Camp Prescott burned last Tuesday. , A growers' committee has re quested that 1000 Mexican na tionals be stationed here during the peak of the harvest season, by arrangements with the War Food Administration. It is ex pected that fewer than this num ber will be available however, as more Mexican workers will be needed in the eastern and northern sections of Oregon to replace Japanese internees used last year.

L HEARING SLATED FOR JULY 20TH Medford city school budget for the coming fiscal school year was adopted Wednesday night at a meeting of the budget commit tee and the school board and E. H. Hedrick, city school super intendent, announced today the public hearing for the purpose of discussing the budget has been set for July 20 at 8 p. m., in the school superintendent's office in the city hall. Estimated expenditures for the ensuing school year are listed as $338,152: an increase of approxi mately $35,000 over last year. This is occasioned by an 11 per cent raise in teachers salaries and an additional six teachers required by an enlargement in population, Supt. Hedrick point ed out. . With the exception of teachers' salaries, which is the biggest sin gle Increase, this year's budget Is practically the same as last year s, the superintendent said. The entire budget calls for $359,139.50. of which $20,987.50 Is for bonds and interest. Of the total budget, state, county and other receipts make up $159,- 505.60 which leaves $199,633.90 to be raised by taxation. Ordinarily this would require a tax of 16.4 mills to raise. But with the offset provided by the real property tax, it will be re duced to probably 10 or 11 mills, according to Hedrick. Members of the budget com mittee were O. O. Alenderfer, George Frey. Victor Milnes, Seth Bullis and Herb Grey. The school board is composed of N. H. Franklin Dr. R. E. Green, Eu gene Thorndike, Otto Frohn mayer and John P. Moffat.
