Milk Ordinance Action Delayed by Council;
Further Study of Grading Problem Slated
Action on Medford's proposed
milk ordinance was delayed for
at least two weeks last night
after the Milk Producers league
requested that it be given fur
ther study by the city council.
Richard Westerberg, manager
of the league, appeared before
the council at a regular meeting
last night to request that the city
delay action on the measure
pending clarification of several
points.
Only City
He particularly mentioned
sale of Grade B milk, which
would be allowed by the pro
posed ordinance. "Medford evi
dently is the only major city in
the state allowing sale of such
milk," Westerburg stated.
The league manager also re
quested that the city's standards
for Grade A milk be more
stringent than those set up by
the state.
Regarding Grade B milk,
Westerburg declared "I know
that Grade B milk is being sold
in Medford and that it is not
being inspected or licensed
The name of the "independent
dealer" was not disclosed, but
Westerburg said the operation
has been working long enough
so that inspections could have
been made.
The council agreed to delay
action on the ordinance until
council members can meet with
representatives of the Milk Pro
ducers league. It may be brought
up again at the next meeting of
the council, to be held April 19
Asks Sewer Clarification
Medford Businessman Glenn
Jackson appeared before the
council at last night's meeting to
request clarification of sewer
use charges at White City. In
pointing out need for such clari
fication, Jackson noted that
more than 1,000 men are now
employed at White City, and "a
couple more industries are com
ing up."
He added that demand for

bank for two-way traffic in the
East-west alley behind the bank,

through the block off Central
ave., now is restricted to east
bound traffic.
Roll Call Vote
The request, which the bank
says is needed for its new "drive
in banking" feature, was turned
down on a roll call vote because
of council fear of traffic conges
tion. Those voting in favor of the
bank's request were Fred Rob
inson and Donald Hansen, while

Democrats Retain
Chicago Stronghold
In Spring Election
GRAND SPORT Mrs. Alice
Townsend, 60-year-old grand
mother from Port Washing
ton, N. Y., tried skin-diving
while on a short vacation at
Hollywood Beach, Fla. Her
first attempt kept her under
water for 30 minutes at depth
of 80 feet. Mrs. Townsend is
wearing a full skin-diving
regalia.
By UNITED PRESS
Jubilant Democrats held on to
their Chicago stronghold and
claimed domination of, the key
state of Michigan today as a re
sult of spring elections
The battle-tested Democratic
"machine" of Chicago rolled to
a decisive victory Tuesday as it
put party boss Richard J. Daley
in the mayor's office with a 127,-'
199 majority.
In Michigan, Democrats led in
five of eight races for state of
fices. Recounts appeared likely
in six of the contests, but party
leaders hailed the Monday vote
as the end of a 22-year- GOP
griD on state offices.
The victories boosted the pres
tige of two of the nation's top
Democrats 1952 presidential
candidate Adlai E. Stevenson
and Michigan's youthful Gov. G.
Mennen Williams.
Stevenson, who now practices
law in Chicago, had gone out of
his way to back Daley. Although
his support was limited to two
speeches, a Democrat defeat
would have been a serious blow
to Stevenson .on his home
grounds.
The Michigan returns were
almost a personal victory for
Williams and were largely at
tributed to his popularity in the
state.
Both Steyenson and Williams
are prominently mentioned as
possible candidates for the
'Presidency in 1956. Williams,
compared however, told newsmen in Wash
ington he is "not a candidate"
and Stevenson can have the
nomination "f or the asking."
Chicago Victory Expected
In Oklahoma, meanwhile,
voters in another spring elec
tion were more than 3 to 1 in
favor of abolishing the state's
dual finance system for white
and Negro school children. The
charge was in line with the U.S.
Supreme Court's ruling against
segregation in public schools.
The Democrats' Chicago vic
tory ran true to form. They have
not lost a mayoralty election
since 1927 and have been beaten
in races for the office only twice
in 67 years.
Nevertheless, a fiery Republi
can anti-crime crusader, Robert
E. Merriam, gave the Democrats
their closest race since 1943.
Disc Jockeys Seek
Long Playing Record
Tyler, Tex. U.R) A disc
jockey "filibuster" tried to break
a record today but not the rec
ord that some listeners wanted
broken.
Allan -White and Art Roberts
began playing the record "Ital
ian Wallflowers" at 8 p.m. Tues
day night over radio station
KTBB.
They said they did not plan to
stop playing the same song un
til they have broken a non-stop
record of 44 hours recently set
by two New Orleans, La., disc
jockeys.
Food Handlers'
X-Rays Stressed
Importance of chest x-rays of
persons in the food service in
dustry was stressed again this
week by the Jackson County
Public Health association. A suc
cessful campaign was conducted
last week, when 160 persons
were x-rayed at the county's two
x-ray centers. Thirty-eight em
ployees of the Groceteria were
among those x-rayed, with the
remaining staff members to have
x-rays taken this week.
Out-patient hours at Commun
ity hospital are Wednesday from
2 to 6 p.m. and at Sacred Heart
Thursday from 2 to 5 p.m. Any
person wishing an x-ray may call
at either center during those
hours without appointment. A
nominal charge of $1.75 is
made.
Although Oregon law does not
require physical examination of
those associated with the food
industry, there are regulations
forbidding anyone having a
communicable 'disease to take
part in food distribution, accord
ing to Orie Moore, county sanitarian.

McCormick Leaves
Most of Estate
To Charity Trust
Chicago (U.E) The late CoL'
Robert R. McCormick's vast
newspaper empire will be run by
four of his lieutenants and a
niece. Most of his estate will go
to charity.
The powerful publisher's plans
for carrying on the Chicago Trib
une and his other holdings were
revealed in a will read late yes
terday. McCormick, descendant of a
journalistic dynasty, died Friday
at the age of 74.
Large Stockholder
At the time of his death, he
was editor and publisher of the
Chicago Tribune and was a trus
tee and large stockholder in the
McCormick-Patterson trust.
The trust operates the New
York Daily News, radio and tele
vision stations, Canadian timber
lands and paper mills, and a ship
ping fleet.
McCormick put all of his stock
in the Tribune and his interest in
the trust into a "Robert R. Mc
Cormick charitable trust." The
trust will be used for religious,
charitable, scientific, literary, or
educational purposes.
Executives Get Voice
Management of the charitable
trust, plus his voice in the McCormick-Patterson
trust, went to
four Tribune' company execu
tives and his niece, Mrs. Ruth
McCormick Tankersley of Wash
ington ,D .C.
McCormick's will, covering an
estate estimated at $100,000,000,
included a provision of $100,000
a year for his widow, Mrs. Mary
land McCormick. Employees and
some Tribune executives were
given requests averaging $1,000.

The steel workers president
is 53-year-old David J. MacDon
ald who succeeded the late Phil
ip Murray in November, 1952.
MacDonald is being deluged with
resolutions from locals calling
for a big boost in the industry's
current average hourly wage of
$2.23.
Some Reason
Here are some of the reasons
why the big CIO union is go
ing after a particularly big in
crease now:
1. The nation's steel mills are
operating at about 93 per cent
of capacity, compared with about
70 per cent when the USW got
a 12 cents an hour package last
June.
2. Under terms of the 1954
settlement, any contract chang
es thi year will be confined to
wages alone. Discussion of a
guaranteed annual wage, cur
rent target of the CIO Auto
Workers, is barred.
3. MacDonald's personal riv
alry with CIO and UAW Presi
dent Walter Reuther will goad
him to seek a better settlement
than any obtained by the auto
workers in their negotiations.
4. Productivity of the indi
vidual steel worker has soared
to a point where the industry
now operates at the same rat
it did in 1943 but with 70,000 less
employees.
5. MacDonald needs a mem
ber pleasing settlement to head
off rumblings of diesention
among a few of his own lieu
tenants. In Midst of Comeback
The steel industry is In the
midst of a sharp comeback
from last year's depressed op
erations. One marketing expert
described the boom as "amaz
ing to the business community,
including steel makers and sell
ers themselves."
A . satisfactory contract with
the industry would go far to
strengthen MacDonald's posi
tion. The biggest single wage boost
the steel workers ever received
was the 18V4 cents an hour
in 1946 after a four week strike
and intervention by President
Truman.
