Lodge recommended that the UN General Assembly establish a procedure to receive and as semble the radiological informa tion. . Lodge pointed out that there has been "concern in several parts of the world" over atomic tests. "The collation by the United Nations of scientific reports and data on radiation levels could set at rest unjustified fears, combat sensational distortion in the light of and lead to human ity's learning how to deal best with the problems of atomic rad iation," Lodge said. Not A Thraat He said the best scientific in formation now available to the U.S. officials, shows that "prop erly safeguarded nuclear test ing in contrast with nuclear war fare, is not a threat to human health." He said the proposal will be submitted officially to the Gen eral Assembly meeting in New York. It was understood the propos al had been discussed with other nations, including Great Brit ain, France and Sweden. He said all reacted favorably.'

BEST t ID "America'. Mo BeavHrut Car by famous professional ertisfeV the Society of llluttrator Two Fire Alarms Given in Central Point Rural Area Central Point A blaze re ported as a "big grass fire' in the residential area near the White City industrial site turn ed out to be an easily-extinguished fire caused by smoldering rub bish which spread to grass yes terday afternoon, Central Point Rural firemen reported today. The fire was partly confined by a fire trail burned in the area recently. Only damage was to some stored lumber, it was re ported. Second Alarm While the fire equipment was out on this call, the John Cupp Furniture Barn 'on Highway 99 near the fire hall caught fire when a spark landed in some sawdust on the roof, firemen said. The Central Point city fire department responded to the alarm and put out the fire, which caused only slight damage. Rural Fire Chief Dick Krupp this morning said the double call pointed to the need for a second rural fire station in the White City area, a proposal which will be decided in a dis trict budget election tomorrow. Eight volunteer firemen and about 17 White City residents early today burned dry grass and made fire trails in the White City industrial area, as a fire prevention measure, Krupp re ported.

BUY NEW; BETTER TRADE LYMOUTH Council Delays Action On Sewer Agreement; Accepts Airport Fund A contract between the city and South Bear Creek Sanitary District to provide for installa tion of a sewer line by the dist rict was delayed temporarily by the city council last night. Mrs. Jeanette Marshall, attor ney for the sanitary district, urged the council to approve the contract so the district might in stall the line from Spencer st. to the north boundary of the dist rict. Sufficient funds are avail able, she said. City Manager Robert Duff said details have not yet been suffi ciently worked out to grant a contract. However, City Attor ney Frank Farrell said there is no reason the district could not begin - construction of the line on its own and complete an agreement with the city later. Study Continued The council continued the matter until a noon meeting on June 30. The council accepted an in creased CAA grant for a two year airport improvement proj ect, completed December 8, 1954. The increase is from $32, 324 to $35,409, for costs exceed ing the original grant. The proj ect included installation of sani tary facilities, and taxiway im provements. The city requested an increase in the grant to pro vide the difference in cost. Easements for power lines through Camp White lands were approved for The California Oregon Power company. The council decided, since ex cavation for the Eastwood sani tary sewer is underway, that a storm sewer should be installed at the same time, effecting a sav ing of some $1700. Light Changes OKd Vernon Thorpe, public works director, recommended new traffic signals at two intersec tions, and putting the Lindley ave.-East Main st signal into 24 hour operation. Because Crater Lake ave. East Main lights do not conform to state law, his suggestion to install two pedestrian-controlled walk-wait signals, was accepted. Also approved was his recom mendation that a pedestrian controlled walk-wait signal be WHY PAY UP TO SS00 MORE FOR A CAR SMALLER THAN PLYMOUTH?

The council voted to put the Lindley ave. light into aroiind-the-clock operation. Total expenditure for the three projects was estimated at $3,000. A proposal to change 12-min-ute one-cent parking meters to 30-minute five-cent parking me ters was defeated by the council. The change would have affected 41 parking meters. The council voted in favor of a changed cycle in the Court-st- McAndrews rd. traffic signal to alleviate conditions caused by Cottage st. vehicles at the inter section. The council's recommen dation will be sent to the State Highway Commission for ap proval. Requests Approved A request by the Oregon Ne vada Freight company for an extra-width driveway and 60 feet of no-parking area on South Riverside ave., and a similar re quest by a bakery at 11 Almond st., were granted. The council voted $40 from the emergency, fund to pay the Medford Realty Board for ap praisal of a proposed East Side fire station site. Location of the proposed site was not disclosed. Two planning commission rec ommendations, for vacation of a north-south alley . on Edwards st., and change of zone of prop erty behind the YMCA to class III-M commercial, were ac cepted. .
