Rural Fire Districts
Near Budget Deadline
A barrier to actual formation
of proposed rural fire districts
in Medford and Central Point
before another year loomed yes
terday when it was disclosed
by the county assessor's office
that both districts have only un
til August 1 to submit budgets
for a four-mill tax levy.
Elections for the districts are
scheduled for July 21 at Cen
tral Point (moved -later from
July 14 to comply with state
law) and July 25 for Medford.
It is not possible to have the el
ections sooner as they must be
held 31 days after a public hear
ing. State law requires that all
such districts submit budgets
and tax levies no later than July
15 to the assessor, unless an ex
tension is made "if deemed rea
sonable." Deputy County Assessor An
drew Hawver revealed yester
day, after a conference with C.
A. Myers, county assessor, and
other officials, that "in view of
the great effort done by backers
of the proposed districts, the fil
ing date has been extended from
July 15 to August 1, jn an effort
to cooperate with the districts
and see their formation." He
.noted that the work which is
placed in the office at this time
of year is "tremendous" and

Ashland Girls Hurt
When Car Overturns
Two Ashland girls were hos

lowing an accident in which the
the car they were driving went

Operator of the vehicle was
Shirley Jean Balderstone, 88 Era

only passenger was Paula My

police said, and both had other
minor injuries. They were to

Police said the girls' vehicle,

The concrete was sent to the

of strategy whether to try to
win on the first ballot."
He suggested, without ex
planation, that it might be better
to hold back some of his dele
gate strength in reserve. ,
The challenge from the Eisen
hower camp was issued by Wes
Roberts, executive director of
the General's campaign head
quarters. Roberts accused Taft of try
ing to explain in advance the
"embarrassment" of a first bal
lot total that failed to come up
to pie-convention claims.
"The public can be sure that
whatever delegate strength Taft
has will be used as soon as it can
be mustered," Roberts said.
Taft told reporters that re
gardless of when he throws his
full strength into the battle, he
is confident of winning the nom
ination on an "early ballot" at
the Chicago convention.
Roberts issued a long state
ment charging that the Taft
claims were a gross "exaggera
tion" and the "tactics of a los
ing candidate whose campaign
is cracking wide open." He
called it "the old political trick
of making inflated claims to en
tice support for a sagging bandwagon."

Hawver pointed out that the
office is only able to extend
the time limit because fire dis
tricts in Oregon can levy up to
four mills without a special el
ection, making the work con
siderably less. He noted that no
district can levy more than four
mills before next year because
the law requires a 20-day elec
tion notice before the election
which would place both districts
beyond the maximum time lim
it. ,
A public hearing was held
Friday by the Medford district
in which the moundaries were
accepted as proposed by the
Jackson county court. No ob
jections were raised against the
boundaries. Several people ap
peared at the hearing who lived
adjacent to the proposed bound
aries and expressed a desire to
petition into the district after
it is formed.
Nominations for directors of
the Medford district were also
submitted and they will be vot

Rainfall Greets Arrival
Of Summer Here Saturday
Summer, which arrived offi
cially in southern Oregon at 3:13
o'clock Saturday morning, got
a damp start.
Rainfall on Friday and early
Saturday brought to 1.04 inches
the amount of rain which has
fallen during June, according to
the weather bureau. The normal
June rainfall to this date is .76
of an inch.
Last year, no rain fell in June.
The one-day storm total was
.22 of an inch. Of this total, .04
of an inch fell Friday morning
and .18 fell Friday evening and
Saturday morning. The evening
rain fell in short and heavy
showers through out the valley,
and in a few instances brief hail
showers were reported.
Piloti Seed Clouds
Medford'j anti-hail pilots.
Harvey Brandau and Eugene
Kooser, flew Friday afternoon,
just before sundown, they said,
when several of the rainclouds
began building up into forma
tions which threatened hail.
They id the tops were
around 12.000 feet high, with the
cloud bases at about 10.000.
They seeded for a total of about
an hour, with total flight time
being 1 hour 48 minutes, they
reported.
The heaviest portion of the
rain fell after their flights.
Justice Department
Forbids Lattimore
To Leave Country
Planned Russian Trip
Said Cause of Order
Washington (U.R) The
Justice Department directed the
State Department to bar'Owen
Lattimore, target of pro-Communist
charges, from leaving the
country, a usually reliable source
said Saturday.
The State Department refused
to say specifically where it got
its information which resulted
in shutting the country's doors
on the Far Eastern expert and
Johns Hopkins University pro
fessor. The State Department would
say only that it took its action
as a result of information from
an "official agency" that Latti
more planned a trip to Russia or
to Soviet satellite countries.
There was speculation that the
"official allegation" came from
the FBI or the Central Intelli
gence agency. The Uniled Press
informant said it was from the
Justice Department of which the
FBI is a part.
Lattimore first said" at his
home in Baltimore that he had
"no plans to go to Russian or to
any other country now or in the
foreseeable future."
Later, however, he said, he
had talked with Johns Hopkins
authorities about the "possibil
ity" of a one-year leave of ab
sehce. If he got the leave, he
said, one of the possibilities was
that "I might spend a year lec
turing at the University of New
Delhi in India."
"There is also the possibility
of my going to Europe, but not
to any Iron Curtain country," he
added.
Paving Ordered
At Bybee Bridge
The approaches to Bybee
bridge, across the . Rogue river
near the Table Rocks, will be
paved shortly, the Jackson coun
ty court was advised last week
by the State Highway commis
sion. The court, which has been
under criticism for not having
the work done sooner, pointed
out Saturday that the job was
a slate project and that the state
and the contractor are respon
sible for having the work done.
County Commissioner L. G.
Morthland recently wrote the
commission, urging that the
work be done as the weather
is not suitable. He was told by
W. C. Williams, assistant state
highway commissioner, that the
commission has "issued orders
to the contractor to prepare at
the earliest possible date to oil
these approaches ..."
Williams added that Division
Highway Superintendent Tom
Edwards, Roseburg, has been in
structed to take such action as
is necessary to secure "early per
formance of the orders.
Reno, Nev., (U.R) Millionaire
Lavere Redfield "raised an aw
ful racket" in Washoe county
jail Saturday when a news pho
tographer snapped his picture,
the very thing the victim of the
famed $1,500,000 Reno burglary
had sought to avoid by going
to jail in the first place.
The pilots, who claim that
their efforts have prevented hail
damage to pear crops, make no
claim to affect rainfall totals
one way or the other.
Rain Beneficial
Little damage to Jackson
county hay crops resulted from
last week's rains, according to
W. B. Tucker, Jackson county
agent for agriculture,
He said most of the hay cut
so far had been put up before
the rains. Even that still in the
fields was not destroyed, but
was bleached out somewhat, he
said. It still has value for feed
ing stock.
The good the rains did the
hay crops will probably far ex
ceed the damage. Tucker esti
mated. "They got the second
crops on dry land alfalfa fields
nicely started, and they helped
the seed crops tremendously,"
he added.

Brazilian Police Battle
200 Escaped Convicts
Sao Paulo, Brazil (U.R)
Police and state troopers fought
a bitter battle Saturday night
with more than 200 armed and
well entrenched convicts who
staged a mass break Friday from
the island prison of Anchieta
Brazil's Alcatraz.
The clash occurred in the
small port of Pirati, and in
volved some two thirds of the
more than 300 prisoners who
staged the break and escaped to
the mainland after killing 16
prison guards.
Fighting Starts
Reports reaching here said the
fighting started shortly after
dark when police reinforcements
from Niteroi reached the Parati
region, southernmost tip of Rio
De Janeiro state.
Departmental Security Chief
Morais Coutinho said five of the
convicts were recaptured in the
fighting and that several police
were injured.
Coutinho, personally directing
Jhe action, against the fugitives,
sent an appeal for reinforce
ments and ammunition. He said
the convicts were well armed
and dug-in.
In an earlier clash near the
mainland town of Ubautuba, two
policemen were injured and 21
convicts captured making a
total of 26 fugitives caught in
Brazil's biggest manhunt in his
tory. The break from the prison
the "Alcatraz" of Brazil was
led by Alvaro Carvalho and
Geraldo "blond devil" Fonseca
considered two of the most
dangerous inmates of a prison.
Fruit Regulations -To
Set '52 Ceiling
- Portland (U.R) District
Director Carl Donaugh of the
Office of Price Stabilization an
nounced Saturday the 1951 fro
zen fruit ceiling price regulation
will be used by the OPS as an
interim measure to establish
processor ceiling prices for the
1952 pack.
Donaugh said an amendment
to the existing frozen fruit regu
lation becomes effective July 11,
or may be put into effect by
processors any time after June
23.
He pointed out two important
changes in the regulations. Pro
visions are made for adjustments
for raw material cost increases
for pears and prunes in Oregon
and Washington due to lower
yields of these fruits and for
freestone peaches in all states.
A new method also Is provid
ed for pricing new items placed
on the. market since. 1948. Pro-L
cessors may establish ceilings on
these items by using their own
prices for a similar item for
comparison, rather than by use
of a competitor's ceiling price.

Medford Water Use
By Jacksonville
To Receive Study
Jacksonville The engineer
ing firm in charge of the water
survey for Jacksonville has been
ordered to go ahead with ob
taining additional information
concerning possible connection
with Medford's water system,
according to H. L. Markwith,
councilman.
Markwith said that the coun
cil met last Tuesday with Engin
es Archie H. Rice of Cornell,
Howland, Hayes and Merryficld,
consulting engineers, Corvallis,
and after discussion decided that
developing Jacksonville's own
water supply is not feasible.
A public hearing will be held
about July 10, Markwith said,
in which the further information
on the proposed Medford con
nection will be given for the
general public's information.
"It is hoped," Markwith said,
"that the minimum water charge
will be approximately $2.50,
with the" pipe installation and
initial costs covered by a special
bond issue supported by taxes."
In explaining the council's
action, Mrs. Lois Fretwell, city
recorder, said that the council
considered the long-range view
and noted that although the
costs would be "a little more"
with Medford water, the supply
would be adequate, whereas, if
Jacksonville developed its own
supply at a large expense, it
would find itself in the same
situation in 20 years as it is
right now.
Other factors in the decision,
the recorder related, were that
the present watershed is not
large enough to supply the city's
needs, the quality of Medford's
soft water as compared to hard
water, of stored water to fresh
pipeline water, and others.
Mrs. Fretwell noted that the
engineering firm, through its
representative, gave a very im
partial explanation of their
study to the council and mayor
and neither recommended using
the city's own sources nor con
nection with Medford. She con
cluded that the decision by the
council to go ahead with further
study of the Medford connection
was based on its value to the
citizens of Jacksonville and
future residents.
