County Millage
Rate ioran 1 3.3;
City's Levy Out
The average millage rate for
Jackson county during fiscal
year 1955-56 will be 63.3 mills,
according to figures released to
day by Jackson County Assess
or Robert Fowler. The average
rate is 13.3 mills below last
year's average 76.6 millage rate.
The millage rate is figured on
an assessed valuation of $80,
658,894.05 this year, an increase
of S18,904,778.73 over last year's
total assessed valuation of $61,
754,115.32. Millage rates vary
in 90 different tax levying dis
tricts throughout the county.
Tax Total Increase
Despite lower millage aver
ages this fiscal year, the total
amount of taxes to be collected
is more than $1,000,000 more
than last year, according to Fow
ler. Some $5,110,890.47 will be
collected during laos-ob, com
pared to $4,385,155.69 last year.
The county levy this year is
8.7 mills compared to last year's
5.7 mills. Total tax for the coun
ty this year is $699,636.21.
Rural school levies this year
dropped 1.2 mills, but because of
an increased valuation the levy
is considerably lower than it
would have been under last
year's valuation, Fowler said.
This year's levy of 50.2 mills
compares with 51.4 last year,
and with a levy of about 67 mills
had valuations been on last
year's level.
Medford Levy Lower
Medford's city levy is lower
than last year by 3.9 mills. The
levy will be 18.9 mills compared
to 22.8 last year. The total levy,
including school district 49 and
county levies, will be 67.4 mills
compared to 68.2 last year. Spec
ial school levy in district 49 is
32.8 mills this year, compared to
39.5 last year.
Various tax levying districts
include cities, towns, school dis
tricts, special school levies,
water, sanitary and " rural fire
protection districts.

Colorado Stream
Pine, Colo. (U.R) President

into one of his favorite trout
streams today and fished briskly
in a determined effort to catch
enough to feed his party at
lunch.
The President, giving himself
a complete day off, drove here
from Denver, 40 miles to the
northeast, early this morning
and planned to return this eve
ning. He came to the mountain ranch
of Bal Swan on the North Fork
of the South Platte river where
the cold, crystal-clear stream
races through the tiny mountain
valley beneath the towering
Rockies. He quickly changed to
fishing clothes, and was over his
knees in the stream within less
than half an hour after arrival.
Reporters got only one glimpse
of the President after he entered
the stream and they were barred
by state police from a conven
ient road that runs directly
above the fishing spot.

Hurricane Edith
Scanned for Size
By PlaneSpotters
Miami (U.R) An Air Force
plane scouted tiny Hurricane
Edith in the Atlantic early to
day for first signs of expected
growth into a tempest of danger
ous size.
The still-young storm already
packed winds of hurricane
strength of 75 miles per hour
near the center and was. feared
likely to grow into a monster
with a 125-mile-per-hour punch.
The Air Force ordered a vigil
Thursday night after the first
reconnaissance plane to pene
trate the storm found Edith was
still "immature," without full
circulation around an "eye" as
in fullblown hurricanes.
Increase in Size Expected
But Chief Forecaster Gordon
Dunn of the Miami Weather Bu
reau said the storm probably
will develop top winds of 125
miles per hour and increase
enormously in size by Saturday.
The 'Weather Bureau at mid
night (EDT) estimated Edith was
centered about 520 miles north
east of San Juan, P.R., or about
1,300 miles - east-southea.:4 of
Miami. '
Although little movement was
indicated by earlier reports
Edith had appeared bound on a
generally west - northwestern
course at about 15 miles per
hour.
Suspicious Area Eyed
A hurricane hunter plane
from the Jacksonville, Fla ,
Naval Air Station was ordered
early today to investigate an
other area of suspicion off the
northwest tip of Cuba, about 200
miles west-southwest of Key
West, Fla.
Navy reconnaisance Thursday
found no -evidence of a hurri
cane developing'in the turbulent
Gulf area but should it grow
into a major tropical storm it
will bear the name Flora, sixth
of the year.
Board Approves Fund
For Hillcresf School
' Salem (U.R) A sum of $32,
000 for alterations to provide
greater security at Hillcrest
School for Girls here was ap
proved today by the State Emer
gency Board.
Numerous escapes have oc
curred at the ' school recently
and extensive damage has been
done to the buildings by inmates,
particularly " those confined to
the security section where re
calcitrant girls are. temporarily
placed until "they cool off."
Miss Marjorie McBride, super
intendent, told the board that
the admittance of Indian girls
caused most of the recent trou
ble. Before, these girls, mostly
from the Klamath Indian Reser
vation, were taken care of by
the federal government. But
now it is the state's responsibil
ity. At present there are 13
Indian girls at Hillcrest. In the
past there were only one or two.

Tribesmen
Lay Down Arms
In French Revolt
New Disturbances
Feared in Morocco
Casablanca, Morocco (U.R)
Rebellious Berber tribesmen
came down from their mountain
hideouts today in "sizeable num
bers" to lay down their arms
after one of the worst uprisings
against French rule in North
Africa in 20 years.
The first large scale surrenders
came six days after the start of
the uprisings which caused an
estimated total of 1800 deaths
in Morocco and Algeria.
The fierce tribesmen bowed to
French power after being encir
cled in the middle Atlas Moun
tains of Central Morocco, 75
miles southeast of Casablanca, by
a powerful punitive expedition
of tank-led French troops.
News of the surrenders reach
ed here as French Resident Gen
eral Gilbert Grandval prepared
to leave for France on what prob
ably will be his last official trip.
But Grandval, in his brief ten
ure, has won the confidence of
many sections of Moroccan opin
ion and it was feared his depar
ture may signal . new disturb
ances. French officials warned they
will not relax their iron grip on
the Smaala tribesmen until as
sured of the allegiance of all the
4000 armed men and 25,000 popu
lation of the warlike tribe.
Led by their chieftains, the
nomads rode down the arid hills
in small groups to pledge their
allegiance and to ask French par
don. Nine Drivers Cited

Northeast Struggles
Back To Normalcy
By UNITED PRESS
The flood ravaged Northeast
struggled steadily back toward
normalcy today aided by the
determination of flood victims
and the support of the nation.
The flood areas concentrated
on restoring industry to produc

cut off by the tragedy of one
week ago.
Industry ' and business re
cuperation provided many with
the means to make homes from
which they had been forced by
high waters livable again.

Senator Morse
Predicts Victory
For Self in 1956
Democrat To Assess
Sentiment on Issues
Portland (U.R) Sen. Wayne
Morse, onetime Republican who
will seek reelection next year
as a Democrat, today predicted
his own victory at the polls,
regardless of who his opponent
might be.
The former University of Ore
gon law professor was back in
his home state for some advance
campaigning and to assess public
sentiment on current issues. He
said he himself would be the
principal issue in next year's
senatorial campaign in Oregon.
"In 1956 the issue will be
more for or against me than for
or against my opDonent, who
ever he may be," Morse said. .
Expects Ike To Run
He is due to share the speak
er's platform with Rep. Edith
Green at Sunday's Democratic
picnic at Jantzen Beach Park.
Morse said he expected that
President Eisenhower would
seek reelection, that Adlai Ste
venson would be the Democratic
candidate and that Stevenson
would win.
He discounted Eisenhower's
standings in national popularity
polls with the comment, "If I
had depended on popularity
polls, I wouldn't have got far."
Morse, who said he considers
congressmen overpaid, was criti
cal of Congress for adjourning
without disposing of important
legislation. Members should
stay on the job 11 months out of
the year, he said. .
Job Placements
Found Difficult
Salem (U.R) New openings
increasing both in number and
in quality almost daily are mak
ing it difficult for the Oregon
Employment Service offices to
fill many jobs, the Unemploy
ment Compensation Commission
said today.
Unfilled opportunities in most
areas are establishing new high
marks for the past three years
and some offices report employ
ment around 99 per cent during
the busy summer period. Engi
neers, skilled craftsmen and
professionally trained persons
particularly are in demand.
Non - agricultural placements
reported by local offices reached
9100 in July, best for this period
since 1951, and the total for Au
gust is expected to be even
higher. More than half of the
number were in manufacturing
plants with lumber and food pro
cessing claiming the most appli
cants. Construction got 492
workers while 334 went into
utilities and communications.
Wholesale and retail trade
claimed 1363.

Investigation To Resume
Next Month With New Jury
Portland U.R) The Multnomah county grand jury investiga
tion of the Oregon Liquor Control commission ended abruptly
today almost before it got started when it developed one of the
jurors was a niece of one of the persons under investigation.
Presiding Circuit Judge James W. Crawford excused the grand
jury from further investigation of the commission after one day
of hearings when he learned that Mrs. Laura Wood of Portland
was the niece of Floyd E. Burton, one of the individuals whose
activities in commission business were being investigated.
Mrs. Wood said she didn't know her relationship to Burton
was important until she heard yesterday's testimony. She told her
story to District Attorney William B. Langley and repeated it to
Judge Crawford. Oregon law provides that a grand juror may be
excused if he is a relative within the third degree of an individual
under investigation.
Housewife Angry
Oyer Strike Hurls
Bottle of Milk
Chicago (U.R) Mrs. Esther
Quigley, who turned her hus
band out because he went on
strike against a steel company,
tangled with a union official on
a picket line today and was
hauled off to a police station.
She threw a bottle of milk on
her opponent.
Capt. George Barnes of the
Chicago police labor detail, said
he planned to file charges of dis
orderly conduct against her and
her opponent, Nick Prete, pres
ident of Local 1214 of the CIO
United Auto Workers.
Local 1214 is on strike against
the Harrison Sheet Steel Com
pany. Her husband, Andrew, is
a shop steward of the union, and
the couple began to scrap when
he ignored her., pleas to refrain
from extra union activity and
to try to avoid a strike. He has
not commented.
Exchanges with Pickets
When Mrs. Quigley went to
the picket line, she had said it
was merely to let the pickets
read the letters she had received
supporting her stand.
But after tart exchanges with
the pickets, and a verbal battle
with a picket, Mrs. Quigley met
Prete.
He walked up to her with a
bottle of milk and said "You
wanted milk to feed the babies,
didn't you? Here's some."
Mrs. Quigley turned, grabbed
the milk and pitched it in his
face. Between them Prete
emerged with scratches on the
neck and a badly damaged T
shirt. Then both were taken to
Fillmore Station. N
Barnes had warned her against
any disturbance.
Appeal Board Upholds
Bid Disqualification
Salem (U.R) The Oregon
State Board of Appeals yester
day turned down an .attempt
by the George Isackson Co.,
Portland, to set aside a disquali
fication of its bid for construc
tion of a new classroom build
ing for Portland State College.
Jackson was not allowed to bid
on the $850,000 project by the
State Board of Higher Educa
tion and he appealed that rejec
tion to the board consisting of
Secretary of State Earl T. New
bry, State Treasurer Sig Un
ander and Labor Commissioner
Norman Nilsen.
Dr. J. F. Cramer, president of
Portland State College, and H.
A. Bork, comptroller for the
State Board of Higher Educa

Isackson was disqualified be
cause he had failed to meet
completion dates on some pre
vious projects.
Byrd Warns Against
Reduction in Taxes
Washington (U.R) Chair
man Harry F. Byrd of the Senate
Finance Committee said today he
is sure the budget can be bal
anced this year, but he warned
against "premature" reduction
in taxes.
The Virginia Democrat's com
mittee handles tax legislation in
the Senate. His remarks on the
outlook for tax reduction were
not quite so rosy as a number of
his congressional colleagues in
both houses.
Portland (U.R) The Oregon
Fish Commission has reported it
had released more than 6,000,-
000 salmon and steelhead finger
lings from commission hatch
eries during June and July.
To
Probe
To Resume Next Month v
Judge Crawford and Langley
decided it would be best to ex
cuse the grand jury and resume
the investigation next month
when a new grand jury will be
selected. ,
The three witnesses who testi
fied yesterday will have to re
turn and repeat their testimony
to the September grand jury.
Gov. Paul L. Patterson; Robert
F. Maguire,, Portland attorney
who investigated complaints
against the commission and its
employees for the governor, and
Howard Bobbitt, another' Port
land attorney who assisted Ma
guire were the witnesses at the
opening of the investigation.
Criminal Evidence Seen. .
Maquire later told newsmen
his investigation showed "loose
administrative practices" and
some evidence was uncovered
that "might be considered crim
inal in nature." He declined to
comment more specifically.
The attorney said that every
thing important discovered by
the investigation had been given
to Gov. Patterson. Some of the
findings, he admitted, had not.
been disclosed because no corro
borating evidence . could be
found.
District Attorney William
Langley, who ordered the grand
jury action, said the jury after
today would have heard from
both sides and would be ready
to determine whether there was
sufficient evidence to support
criminal charges.
