0 TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, September 7, 1955 Hearing on Continued hearing cn a change of zone from two (family dwelling to heavy industrial in the area north of Clark st. between Nar regan st. to McAndrews rd. was deferred by the Medford city council last night. The hearing was continued after a petition with 97 signa tures was submitted opposing thechange, and several people appeared objecting, that resi dential property values would be lowered should the area be changed to heavy industrial. Last April, the planning commission recommended the change after a public hearing in which no objection was voiced. Representatives opposing the change said they were not noti fied that the change was pro posed. The hearing was con tinued so further studies of the proposal could be made. Legion Request Granted The council also granted the American Legion's request to hie parking meter brackets to display the flag on holidays. Legion officials said they had several requests from merchants asking to have flags displayed. The brackets fasten onto the parking meter, putting the flag out of reach of pedestrians and vehicles parking beside curbs. Legion officials pointed out that previously flags have been dam aged by cars parking at the curb, where flags were displayed on Zone Change Plan Following Protests Grange Eagle Point Grange Eagle Point HEC met for a picnic dinner at Sunset on the Rogue with Mrs. Grant Hubbell hostess and Mrs. Lester Wertz co-hostess. - The usual business meeting was held with Mrs. Glen Clymer presiding.

Both annexations were rec ommended by the planning com mission recently. Withdraw Request The council accepted a letter from the First Church of Christ, Scientist, withdrawing a request for annexation of property along Medford's west city limits. Of ficials of the church said that since sewer facilities will not be available i m m e d i a tely, the churdh will install a septic tank and resubmit its request for an nexation at a later date. The planning commission had Court Issues Order In Turncoat Case San Francisco (U.P.) The Army has been ordered to show cause by Sept. 15 why turncoat soldiers William Cowart and Lewis Griggs should not be freed from the Sixth Army stock ade until they come to trial. The order was handed down yesterday by Federal Judge Louis E. Goodman. It coincides with a previous order in the case of the third turncoat, Otho G. Bell of Hillsboro, Miss. The three soldiers, now await ing a general court martial in the stockade, were prisoners of war in Korea who at first chose to join the Communists and then later asked to be returned to the United States. Attorneys for the turncoats have asked the Federal Court to overrule the Army's charges on the grounds the soldiers com mitted the offenses during a prior enlistment and,, therefore,-' no longer come under the Army's jurisdiction. They also argue the men have been sufficiently pun ished by being dishonorably dis charged in absentia. - Cowart is a resident of Dalton, Ga., and Griggs lives in Jackson ville, Fla. recommended the property be annexed. E-equests for stop signs at the corners of 13th and Peach sts. and Summit ave. and Haven st. were denied on recommendation of City Manager Robert Duff who pointed out that police de partment records fail to justify installation of signs. Records Cited Duff said police records show cn three accidents at the inter section of Summit ave. and Haven st. in 1954, and in seven and a half months of 1955 there has been only one. There were no accidents at the corner of 13th and Peach sts. in 1954, Duff said and only one thus far in . 1955, according to police records. The council granted a change to 24 hours the time effective on loading zone areas at the Medical Center building and the Fluhrer building. Previously the loading zone areas were effect ive only between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., but physicians in the Medi cal Center building requested an extension of time. All night parking hours were changed from prohibited park ing between 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. to between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. in areas of apartment houses, hotels and eating establishments which are open all night. The change was made because city street sweepers do not start sweeping until 3 a.m. Lease Approved An ordinance was adopted signing a lease with Rogue River Paving company for use of a 160-by-180 foot piece of city property for $250 annually. The company plans to install a pav ing plant near the old city sew age plant. The . council also adopted an ordinance calling a public hear ing on a request from Herbert Morris for a change in set back on property on the east end of Reddy ave. The hearing will be held next meeting. Action on a request from E. W. Brown for widening the north side of East Main st. to Genessee st. was deferred until after the state highway commis sion determines the route of a proposed freeway through Medford. Whereabouts of j Runaway Balloon Stumps Scientists Minneapolis, Minn. (U.R) Scientists, were stumped today on which way a giant runaway balloon went with its cargo of mice and guinea pigs. They figured it should be somewhere in the stratosphere in the general region of the up per Midwest. But Coloradans insisted they had seen a balloon like it bobbing above Durango. Officials of Winzen Research, Inc., which launched the 25 story high balloon at Interna tional Falls, Minn., seven days ago, insisted this couldn't be. The balloon has been staying relatively close to home Du luth, they think. It made a side trip ' into Canada and was last seen near Duluth, Minn., float ing east. But the Minnesota scientists admitted they couldn't be sure of the balloon's precise location because clouds have moved in to hide it. In Colorado, meanwhile, Air Force officials planned to check today to find out whether the Durango balloon belongs to them. Scores of residents in south west Colorado have reported they saw a huge, heart-shaped balloon in the sky. One of them. Mason Richards, said he fol lowed the balloon with his tele scope and noted that it had an attached gondola and the di ameter of a 25-story building. r Eastman Kodak Grants $100,000 to Researchers Rochester, N.
