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.
The 1955 Legislature set aside
$2,776,000 for salary adjustment
and directed the civil service
department to work out a new
plan to be presented to the
emergency board.
The schedule will affect some
15,000- state employees under
civil service.
Civil Service Director Charles
W. Terry said the new pay plan
indicates moderate increases in
most state job classifications
and a slight broadening of the
pay ranges. It also gives substan
tial increases in jobs that com
parative studies showed have
been under paid by the state for
several years.

Backers Hope To
Block Licensing
Of Private Dams
Washington (U.R) A Sen
ate Interior subcommittee ap
proved a bill today for govern
ment construction of a dam in
Hells canyon on the Snake river.
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

At least 10 persons, mostly
police, were injured.

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.
