the coast convalescing from a
recent illness.
Shews Accomplishments
Hanleylands is an illustration
of what can be done in the
Rogue River valley with -water,
district spokesmen pointed out
in announcing the meeting. Wa
ter development was pioneered
there with only a small supply
of water apparently available.
The Hanley ranch on Jackson
Creek, is in one of the major
problem drainage areas of Jack
son county, second only to Bear
Creek and the river, which does
not fall into the small watershed
program. It will be shown to
Senator Morse as an example of
what is being done at the grass
roots level.
There will be a general dis
cussion of the overall conserva
tion program and a demonstra
tion of what the people here con
sider their problems in conserva
tion within the small watershed
program.
Officials to Attend
Clem Auit, of the United
States Soil Conservation serv
ice, and W. B. Tucker, county
agent, , will be - present to dis

the program.

Juveniles Arrested
Grants Pass Max McMillin,
Josephine county district attorn
ey, aided city and state police
and the sheriffs department in
arresting 18 juveniles, ranging
from 13 to 17 years of age, in a
curfew enforcement drive last
week end.
The district attorney in an
announcement last week, declar
ed that a drive would be made
to curb juvenile delinquency by
enforcing more strictly the state
juvenile curfew law. The law
prohibits minors from being in
public places between midnight
and 4 a.m., unless accompanied
by parents or other authorized
adults.
"This was not a 'one shot' ef
fort," McMillin said. "Enforce
ment of the state juvenile cur
few law will be a continuing pol
icy with all law enforcement
agencies in Josephine county."
The 10 boys and 8 girls were
taken to the city police depart
ment where they were held for
their parents.

Report on Speech
And Hearing Clinic
At College Given
Ashland A report on the
activities of the Southern Ore
gon college speech and hearing
clinic during the past school year
has been given by acting-director.
Dr. Donald Wilson.
Diagnostic speech clinics were
held 'in 43 schools of Jackson,
Josephine and Curry counties.
A total of 395 speech examina
tions, including parent and tea
cher consultations, were provid
ed the children in these schools.
"The public has become in
creasingly aware of the speech
services that are available for
school age children, through ra
dio and television programs,
newspaper articles, parent meet
ings, and through interest shown
by teachers and parents who
follow-up the speech clinic
meetings," Dr, Wilson said.
Help Needed
"Parents are gradually recog
nizing that some children must
have special help to master the
complicated sounds of American
English, especially after faulty
habits have become established,"
he added.
One of the primary purposes
of the speech and hearing clinic
has been to show parents what
can be done and to enlist them
as helpers in improving the
speech of their children.
The campus speech clinic at
SOC provided speech therapy on
a continuing basis to 10 children
during 1954-55. A 'short- term
type of therapy was given to 14
additional children, while diag
nosis was provided for 17 others
during the same period.

Air Force Reports
New Advances in
Guided Missiles
Washington (U.R) The Air
Force today reported "some ad
vances" in developing an inter
continental ballistics missile
against which there is no known
defense.
In a semi-annual report to
President Eisenhower and Con
gress, Air Force Secretary Har
old E. Talbott made only a cryp
tic two-line reference to the
ocean-spanning missile. He re
ported some progress on the wea
pon and then described it as be
ing "of critical importance to
the basic security of the United
States and the free world."
Russians Work on Missile
A true intercontinental ballis
tics missile could .travel above
the atmosphere about 10,000
miles per hour. Armed with a
hydrogen warhead, it could
wreak untold devastation. Russia
also is believed to be working
on such a weapon.
Talbott also said this country's
B52 jet hydrogen bomber is the
"best in the world." He added
that the Air Force is steadily
developing "newer and better"
aircraft and guided missiles.
Widespread Concern
His statement came in the
face of widespread concern in
Congress over Russia's recent
displays of airpower, including
a formation of heavy bombers
similar to the B52. The Ameri
can bombers will begin going to
combat units in a few days.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D
Wash.), said yesterday he fears
Russia is making such "ominous
and unexpected strides" in air
power that it will have superior
ity over this country within five
years.
Israeli Premier,
Government Resign
Jerusalem, Israel U.R) Is
raeli Premier Moshe Sharett and
his government resigned today.
President Isaac Ben-Zvi imme
diately called in party leaders
for consultations in an effort to
form a new government.
' Sharett quit because the Gene
ral Zionists refused to vote with
his Mapai Party to stave off a
no-confidence vote in the Knes
set (Parliament) last night on
the "Kastner case."
The General Zionists and the
Mapai have been governing in
coalition. But the General Zion
ists refused to support Sharrett's
party in the controversy and
Sharett quit less than a month
before Israel's scheduled July 26
elections.

Chessman's Book
Contains Praise
For Jail Officials
New York (U.R) The book
which convict-author Caryl
Chessman smuggled out of San
Quentin prison contains only
praise for the prison authorities
who confiscated the original
copy of the manuscript.
The villains in the book, just
off the press in New York, are
the prosecutors and judges who
have blocked Chessman's efforts
to escape death in the gas cham
ber, and society in general which
persists in using capital punish
ment even after it has been
proved in Chessman'-s view
"a tragic, senseless, meaningless
failure."
Chessman says he hopes his
book will help "fire the. social
imagination" to find some other
means of handling murderers,
kidnappers and rapists.
July 11 Publication Date
Prentice-Hall will publish the
new Chessman work "Trial by
Ordeal," on July 11, four days
before the scheduled execution
of the author. His earlier book
"Cell 2455, Death Row," became
a best-seller last year.
A pre-publication copy of the
book shows that Chessman
thinks highly of San Quentin
Warden Harley O. Teets and
California director of corrections
Richard A. McGee. He describes
both as good and fair men "ded
icated to serving the best inter
ests of society."
Chessman's attorneys plan to
seek still another stay of execu
tion by the U. S. Supreme Court
between now and July 15. This,
and the unlikely possibility that
the governor of California would
commute his sentnee, are his
only .possible hopes to stay
alive.

Salem
(U.R)
The Stats
Highway Commission today
studied a 20-year comprehensive
plan for handling an expected
150 per cent increase in traffic
in the Portland area during the
next 20 years.
The program would cost ?371,-
000,000. It calls for five new
bridges, widening of two others,
14 freeways, 14 expressways and
24 major streets.
Not Necessarily Final
R. H. Baldock, state highway
engineer who presented the
plan said it is not necessarily
final but would give the people
"something to shoot at."
Baldock's report said about
$40,000,000 of the cost has been
provided or will be available in
the next two years.
The report recommends 96
miles of freeways, 74 miles of
expressways and 120 miles of
major streets, many with raised
center strips for parking.
Started in January
The 151-page report has been
under preparation since last Jan
uary. It brings up to date a mas
ter plan prepared by the state in
cooperation with the city of
Portland in 1944 and restudied
in 1949.
The Portland City Planning
Commission has estimated that
505,800 persons will live in
Portland by 1975, compared with
about 402,000 at present.

Holiday Accidents
Expected To Take
Total of 380 Lives
Chicago (U.R) The National
Safety Council estimated today
that 380 Americans will diei in
Fourth of July highway acci
dents during the 'biggest holi
day on wheels in America's his
tory" next week end.
The council predicted that
40,000,000 vehicles will be on
the move during the three-day
holiday. It pleaded for extra
caution to prove that the coun
cil's estimate was too high.
Need Safe Drivers
"More travel does not have to
bring more accidents," Ned H.
Dearborn, council president,
said. "All we need is more safe
drivers. When you start out this
week end, make up your mind
to prevent just one accident
the one that may involve you!"
The council's estimate covers
traffic deaths that occur from
6 p.m. (local time) Friday to mid
night Monday.
Accident Insurance
To insure themselves against
accidents, the council urged
drivers to:
1. Travel at about 10 mph be-'
low normal speeds.
2. Start trips early enough so
that they won't have to rush, to
reach their destinations.
3. Stay alert.
4. Don't compete with other
drivers.
5. Pass only one car at a time
and allow a clear margin of
safety.
6. Slow down at sundown so
their cars can stop in the range
of its headlights. Don't drive
when sleepy or overtired.
