Lodge Preparing
Plan for Pooling
Atom Information
San Francisco (U.R) Am
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.
made preparations today to pre
sent his plan for pooling atomic
information in a formal reso
lution before the UN General
Assembly next fall.
Lodge announced the plan
yesterday in a statement releas
ed to the press at the 10th anni
versary observance of the United
Nations here.
Would Asttmbl Data
The plan suggests that data
from all countries relating to the
problem of atomic radiation be
assembled in the United Nations.
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.'

the residential area near the
White City industrial site turn
ed out to be an easily-extinguished
fire caused by smoldering rub

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

prevention measure, Krupp re

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

installed on the east crosswalk
on Hawthorne st. and the west
crosswalk on Almond st., with
regular signals overhead. 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. .
The meeting was adjourned to
noon, June 30, the last meeting
of the fiscal year.
