(See story on Page 1) Bank Plans Talked For Rogue River; Petitions Circulate Rogue River Petitions are being circulated in Rogue River to secure signatures of residents interested in establishing an in dependent bank in Rogue River. The petitions, which have been placed in most Rogue River retail stores, point out that the community, if it desires a bank and can raise $50,000, has "fi nancial and advisory help from a financially strong local inde pendent bank." (The Rogue Val ley State bank, Medford, is the only independent bank in Jack son county.) The $50,000 to be raised by residents would be through the sale of stock in the bank, with each share providing the holder with one vote in operation of the bank. Shares 150 $ The petition points out that "$50,000 represents an invest ment of $500 each for 100" in terested parties, and states, that each share would be $150. If a bank is established in Rogue River, the petition said, it would have Federal Deposit Insurance corporation insurance for deposits up to $10,000. The petition pointed out that a bank owned by the community is possible without a burden to anyone. Emergency Board To See Pay Schedule Salem U.R) A new schedule of pay rates with increases for most" state employees will be presented to the State Emer gency Board here June 17, and the increases are expected to take effect next month.

Chairman Clinton P. Anderson (D-NM.), predicted the full com mittee would also approve it when the bill is brought up there in about two weeks. The mea sure should be before the Sen ate itself some time next month, he said. The subcommittee vote was three to one for the bill to au thorize a $350,000,000 dam in the canyon on the Idaho-Oregon border. Sen. Arthur V. Wat kins (R-Utah) cast the "no" vote. Sen. Eugene D. Millikin (R-Colo) did not vote, Anderson said. Votes for the bill were cast by Anderson, Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.), and Sen Jo seph C. Mahoney (D-Wyo.). They are co-sponsors of the bills, along with 26 other senators. Private Dam Sought Backers hope to get approval of the bill to block possible Fed eral Power commission licens ing of one or more private dams in the canyon. . An FPC examiner, recom mended last month that the Idaho Power company be allow ed to build one dam there. The recommendation is to be review ed by the FPC itself. Anderson, in a formal state ment, said the examiner's decis ion found that the government dam would. produce 83 per cent more power than a three-dam plan originally sought by the power company. "The FPC examiner as much as told the Congress that if it wanted to save this great re source for the nation, it had the power to do so," Anderson said. "I certainly hope it will do this This is the kind of project which has helped to make the West a vital party of our econ omy. New Industries "Not only will this project pay back its entire cost with in terest, but it will repay the in vestment a dozen times over by creating new jobs, new industry and a broader tax base for the northwest." Anderson said the subcom mittee amended the bill to elim inate a reference to the com merce clause of the Constitution as authority for federal construc tion. Opponents of the project Anti-Japanese Storm US Embassy in Seoul Seoul, Korea (U.R) More than 1000 anti-Japanese demon strators attempted to storm the American Embassy today to pro test against U.S. aid to Japan. Police battled with about 200 of the demonstrators and set up a barricade of buses and taxis to stop the mob from entering the embassy. At least 10 persons, mostly police, were injured. The demostrators shouted that they wanted to tell U.S. Ambassador to Korea William S. B. Lacey that American aid to Japan should be halted. They said they were protesting Ja pan's "pro-Communist" policies.
