"Molotov to Moscow Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov flew back to Moscow, apparently seeking new instruc tions from the Kremlin. There were hints that he may come up with a new Soviet proposal on Germany when the conference resumes Tuesday. British Foreign Secretary Har old Macmillan returned to Lon don and French Foreign Minis ter Antoine Pinay flew back to Paris for week end consultations with his government. The ministers took a three-day "holiday" after the West put the Soviet Union "on the spot" by proposing that free and secret all-German elections be held next year. It was a Western at tempt to smoke out the Soviet position on German unity. The proposal received a cold recep tion from Molotov. Dulles and his party flew in the private plane of Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, supreme com mander oi,the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Dulles planned to attend the gala re opening of-- the Vienna State Opera tonight. Tito Meeting Today, Dulles will fly on to meet Tito at Brioni, an island resort on the Adriatic Coast of Injured Youngster Gratitude Haynes car which had stalled, when he was struck by another vehicle. He suffered head in juries and underwent surgery at Sacred Heart hospital. He was unconscious for nearly a week People "Very Nice" "The people here have been very good to us." Haynes said. "There was a little trouble at first but after people saw our condition they were very nice. The Haynes family had some difficulty finding a place to stay Yugoslavia. Informed sources said the meeting is designed to tighten the links between stra tegic but neutral Yugoslavia and NATO, in the same way as Dulles last week conferred with Gen eralissimo Francisco Franco in Madrid on closer participation of Spain in the defense of the Med iterranean area. The meeting will be Dulles' first with Tito. Before leaving Geneva, Dulles met with aides to line up strategy for next week when the bogged down . conference is expected to take up the disarmament issue. Phoenix, Ariz. U.R) An investigation into the gangland car-bomb slaying of former la bor racketeer William (Willie) Bioff extended to Los Angeles and New York uriderworlds Sat urday and quickly'was envel oped behind a curtain of offic ial secrecy. 'Cloud-Seeding' Operation Set for Toketee Watershed North American Weather Con sultants of Oregon, a firm en gaged in weather modification activities, will again conduct a "cloud-seeding" operation for the California Oregon Power company this winter. In a notice of intention pre pared for publication as requir ed by state law, the firm, with headquarters in Goleta, Calif stated it will use silver iodide ground generators to increase the snowpack in the watershed area for Copco's Toketee power complex. The firm identified the boun daries of the seeding operations, and the area affected, as a line running north from Lake of the for Aid in Medford after Willie was in jured. They are Negroes. Haynes, who is employed now at the YMCA, said that he wished he could thank all of the people that have helped them since they have been in Med ford and especially the nurses and doctors at the hospitals who have helped care for Willie. . "Willie is doing fine," Haynes said. "He gets up now and moves around. His eyesight's going to be all right. He gets dizzy when he stays up too long, and has to go back to bed. but he's going to be all right." Churches, Clubs Helped Haynes said he would like to thank the Crater Lions club, First Baptist Church, Methodist Church, and the Seventh-day Ad ventist Church for the help they have given. "So many people have helped us I can't remember all of their names," Haynes said, "but I'd like to thank those I do know." They were Russell Heysell, Courtesy Chevrolet; Mrs. Henry Padgham. 2707 Springbrook rd.; and Mrs. H. J. Devaney, 1012 East Jackson st. Haynes said he would .also like to thank the woman who owns the house where they are stay ing. The Haynes family was on its way to Corcoran, Calif, when Willie was hurt. They had come from Independence, Ore., where they had worked in the bean harvest. They will go on to Cor coran as soon as the boy is well enough to travel, Haynes said, where they will work in the cot ton harvest. The Haynes family has lived in Corcoran since 1951. "Good People" "There's good people where ever you go," Haynes said. "Some times a couple of bad ones make it bad for everyone. People get to talking about what the bad one says or does and pretty soon it seems worse than it was. There's bad people and good people in any race." Haynes said in their search for a place to live they went-to a" place beyond rFour- Corners where a woman had a house she was willing to rent but couldn't Decause it had furniture stored in it. The woman called an auto court where there were two vacancies. Haynes said, but the man in charge told her he couldn't rent the cabins to Ne groes because his boss wouldn't like it. The woman then called radio station KBOY which broadcast a story of the family's plight. It was through the broadcast that they obtained a house to live in and many offers of help from in dividuals. UMC Home Crusade Hears Completion Women volunteer workers in the Home Crusade division of the United Medford Crusade will wind up their efforts to day, and tomorrow evening. Under the direction of Mrs. E. A. Littrell and Mrs. Scott Davis, the volunteers are call ing at Medford residences to ac cept donations to the Crusade. They hope that in families which have already given a major do nation at the husband's place of work, the woman of the house will also participate, - even if only in a small way. Main objective of the home division is to give those who have not given elsewhere an op portunity to make a gift to the crusade. Monday between 7 and 8 p.m. the workers will conduct their "porchlight" drive, when they will call on homes which signi fy a desire to give by leaving on the porch light. Woods to Windigo gap, on the east; west to the Umpqua-Wil-lamette divide to a point north of Toketee Falls power plant: south to the Lake Creek-Fish Lake road along longitude 122 degrees 30 minutes, then east to Lake of the Woods. The operations, as in past years, will be started about Nov. 15 and will continue through April. Copco has seeded during win ter months for several years, and has found evidence that the op eration has had a material ef fect on increasing the snowpack in the area, which in turn offers greater water runoff later in the year, adding to the firm's power-generating potential. Supreme Court May Act on Challenges To Discrimination Appeals Court Ruling On Monday's Docket Washington U.R) The Su preme court, confronted with the first repercussions from its historic 1954 school segregation decision, may act Monday on sweeping new challenges to ra cial bars in the South. Two groups of Negroes and a Chinese - American have urged the high tribunal to outline segregated public parks and swimming pools and state laws forbidding inter - racial mar riages. They say that if segregation is unconstitutional in schools, where attendance is compulsory, the principle must be extended to facilities and institutions that involve voluntary choice. Appeals Court Ruling The U. S. Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., used this reason ing last March when it held that Maryland and Baltimore authori ties must open public parks and pools to all regardless of race. In its appeal to the Supreme Court, Maryland argued that the effect of the ruling is to widen the scope of the school decision to include all activities financed by public funds. "Feeling and emotion in the state of Maryland, and doubtless in other Southern states, run higher in intermixing of races in bathing facilities than possibly any other field in human rela tons except miscegenation," the State said. Decision Slated At its Monday business ses sion, the Supreme Court is slated to decide whether to uphold the Appeals Court or review the case and hand down a decision later this term. Another important segregation case due for early action was brought by Ham Say Nairn, a Chinese-American of Norfolk, Va. He appealed from State Court decisions holding his mar riage with Ruby Elaine Nairn illegal under a state law forbid ding marriage of Caucasians and non-Caucasians.

Issues Statement Meanwhile, R. M. Kent, secretary-manager of the district, who disclaims campaigning for either candidate, issued a statement Saturday in which he sets forth his position with regard to a recent proposed contract be tween himself and the TID, and with regard to one aspect of the campaign. A story about his statement appears on Page 6. President Meets With Marshal Montgomery Denver (U.R) President Ei senhower's continued steady re covery was highlighted Saturday by his first successful try at step climbing and glowing reports on his health from his old friend, Field Marshal Lord Moptgom ery of Alamein. Montgomery, who said Mr. Ei senhower was "looking better today than I have even seen him look," was so enthusiastic that his description of the President's health that it sounded almost like a nominating speech. Igypt VioBatedl Tryce Syrian Forces Down Israeli Plane; Hew Fighting on Border Both Sides Place Blame on Opponents Jerusalem (U.R) Syrian forces were reported Saturday to have shot down an Israeli plane. Ground fighting shifted to the Gaza strip border area where Egyptian and Israeli forces dyeled for 45 minutes. A report received in Cairo from Beirut, Lebanon, said the Israeli plane crashed in flames inside Lebanese territory two miles from the Syrian border. One of the crew members was reported saved. First Shot Down This would be the first Israeli plane shot down by the Arab forces. Israel claimed last Sept. 1 that two of her jets shot down two Egyptian jets inside Israeli territory, but the Egyptian war minister said the planes had crashed. There was disagreement on who started Saturday's clash on the border of the Egyptian-held Gaza strip. An Israeli military spokesman said the Egyptians attacked a mobile Israeli patrol moving along the armistice line and the patrol returned the machine gun fire. Blames Israelis An Egyptian military spokes man in Cairo said nine Israeli armored cars wheeled up to the border opposite Khan Yunis and pou?fed j shells into Egyptian po sitions. Egyptian forces returned the fire with an intense barrage "forcing the Israelis to flee deep inside their territory," the spokesman said. United Nations truce observers rushed to the scene. No casualty reports were is sued.

Medford Firm Two New District 6C Elementary Schools Central Point Frank Fair weather Construction company of Medford has been awarded a contract to construct two new elementary school buildings in School District 6C. Fairweath er's bid of $319,385 was lowest of three combined bids. Bids were opened Friday night at Central Point. A four room building will be construct ed at Gold Hill and a 12-room building will be built at Cen tral Point. Both buildings will be finished by Aug. 1, 1956, ac cording to the contract. Previously, bids were receiv ed for construction of the. buil dings, but were higher than av endes-FranceWins ocialists Paris (U.R) Ex-Premier Pierre Mendes-France won con trol of the radical Socialist party Saturday by an overwhelming vote that lent him new strength in his backstage struggle against Premier Edgar Faure. Named Vice-President Mendes was elected first vice president of the party at its an nual convention here, making him in effect its principal lead er and giving him the power, to veto its choice of candidates in the coming elections. The party's nominal President Edouard Herriot, is a half-crippled octogenarian who takes little active part in radical af fairs. Faure, himself a radical, made Ruling Declares Jury Trial Not Required in runk Driving Cases An Oregon city is not required to grant a jury trial in a case where drunken driving is charged, it was ruled here last week. Warren Lesseg, a Medford at torney who has served from time to time as municipal judge pro tern, gave this ruling in a written opinion in a case over which he presided earlier this vear. Outcome of the case has been delayed pending his opin ion; which covered three ques tions raised at the earlier hear ing. Questions Listed: The questions were: 1. Does the defendant have the right of a trial by jury, which is denied by the city charter? 2. Was Lesseg himself entitled to act as judge pro tern under appointment of the mayor? 3. Is the defendant entitled to have the complaint dismissed up on the ground that it was not properly verified? Briefly. Lessee's opinion on the first was no; on the second and third it was yes. As a result of the third answer the action filed against Robert Rector, 225 Valley View dr., will be dismissed. Right of Appeal On the question of the jury trial, Lesseg's reasoning was that, since the defendant had the right of. appeal to the circuit court, where he can ask a jury trial, he is not ncessarily en titled to one in municipal court under the theory that the offense of driving while intoxicated is a proper subject of municipal regulation. Judge Lesseg pointed out, however, that -authorities are not in agreement on the subject, and said, "The court feels that the matter of jury trial may well be -eiven serious consideration, since the growth of the commun ity is great and in view of the additional fact that the defend ants often are put to great ex pense, and hardship is wrought, by requiring the defendant to take an appeal in order to obtain a trial by jury." On the second Question, Judge Lesseg simply cited provisions of the city charter and other au thorities, and came to the conclusion that he was acting Gets Contract To Build ailable funds. Architect Robert J. Kenney of Medford revised plans and specifications to bring costs within available funds. The buildings will be built of concrete block and heating will be by unit ventilators on a low pressure steam system. Both buildings have been planned so all classrooms will have north lighting, and each will be con structed to faciliate future ex pansion. The Gold Hill building will be erected at the east edge of the city on old Highway 99 across from the Ideal Cement plant. The Central Point struc ture will be built at the east edge Contro no attempt to oppose Mendes in the election because he knew he had no chance to win. The ex-premier was the only official candidate for vice-president, but he won by slightly less than a two-thirds majority 1,005 votes in a total of 1,533. Vote Divided The other 528 delegates voted for various party leaders most of1 them for pre-war Premier Edouard Daladier, who is con sidered a pro-Mendes man. The convention made its senti ments clear even before the vote. When Mendes entered , the hall Friday night he received an ova tion, but when Faure came in most of the delegates began shouting "Resign! Get out!" as judge pro tern legally and properly. The third question involved the proper verification of the complaint, and Judge Lesseg, after reviewing the circumstan ces, came to the conclusion that the complaint was not properly verified. He said: Axiom of Law "It has lona been an axiom of the law that the defendant is entitled to each and every rieht afforded Tiim bv oiir con stitutional form of government . . . So tnat there snau oe no question of the defendant being afforded every right due him. it is the ruling of the court that the complaint. ..be dismis sed ..." He added, however, that "noth ing in this opinion is to be construed as passing upon the right of the city ... to file an other complaint, nor is it the intention of the court to pass in any way upon such right ..." Sports Bulletins Phoenix Coquille high had the margin in statistics to get the nod over Phoenix as the two schools fought to a 20 lo 20 deadlock in their District 6 A-2 championship conflict here last night. Phoenix scored twice in the fourth quarter io knot the game. Del mar Brood's extra point kick with less than two minutes to play was ruled barely wide to the right. The Red Devils netted 318 yards to 251 for . Phoenix and their first down edge was 13 io seven. - Malin high captured the District 5B football crown by defeating St. Mary's of Med ford 27 io 12 here last night. The Mustangs led 14 to 0 at the quarter but only 14 to 12 at halfiime. Third quarter standing was 21 to 12. Portland U.R) Gov. Good win J. Knight of California said Saturday that if he is nominat ed as a favorite son candidate for president by his home state Republicans he would release his delegates after one ballot to vote for any candidate they choose. of the city at the corner of 10th and Manzanita sts. Both sites were secured several months ago by the district. Each building will house first and second grade pupils only. Other combined bids included H. G. Carl Construction comp any of Salem, $322,064, and H. Barnhart company of Medford, $326,354. Bessonette and Graff of Medford submitted a bid of $251,900 for construction of the Central Point building. Ausland Construction company bid S77, 870 and Minshall Construction company bid $79,796 for the Gold Hill building. Urges Xease-Firer To End Bloodshed In Middle East Sharply-Worded Notes Handed to Ambassadors Washington (U.R) The Uni ted Stat; charged both Israel and Egypt with Armistice viola tions Saturday, and urged them to agree to an immediate cease fire to end "bloodshpd;, and loss of life in their thus-far pocket war. In sharply-worded notes hand ed the ambassadors of both na tions, the State Department ex pressed its "deep concern" at the bloodiest and most serious clashes in the Mideast in seven years. Issues Complaint In blaming both countries for the fighting, the State Depart ment also complained about re ports that United Nations Armis tice observers "have been pre vented from carrying out their assigned functions." In the interest of peace, the r department urged both sides to accept the U.N. cease-fire plan. calling for the withdrawal of all forces from the demilitarized zone in the El Auja desert and the clear marking of the now poorly-defined borders. It also appealed to Israel and Egypt to give the U.N. truce ob servers "full liberty to perform their peaceful JkmctPons" and help preserve order along the disrupted frontiers. The Ambassadors expressed a desire for peace, blamed the other side for the fighting, and indicated a willingness to con sider the U.N. plan. But neither made any immediate commit ments. 0 Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) said the fighting In the mideast and potentially "dangerous" trouble in the Far East call for a complete review of U. S. pol icies in both areas. O Supports U. N. Plan The United States told the two Ambassadors it "deplores resort to force" and "strongly supports" the U. N. cease-fire plan "to ease the present situation." Assistant Secretary of State George V. Allen, America's top Mideast trouble-shooter, sum moned the two Ambassadors to the State Department to receive the U. S. appeal. The action came against a somber backdrop of mounting Western fears that the Arab Israeli fighting may blow up into a full-scale war and concern over Russia's recent moves to extend its influence into the strategic Mideast.
