YOUNGSTER RECOVERING Joe WUUe Haynes, 11, who was
critically injured in an automobile accident last month, is doing
nicely at Sacred Heart hospital, where he underwent brain sur
gery shortly after the accident, and lay unconscious for almost
a week. His brush with death attracted much sympathetic at
tention in Medford, and he and his family have been the recepients
of considerable help from kind-hearted Medfordites. Some of the
gifts the youngster has received are shown in his lap in the pic

Dulles Leaves Geneva
For Conference With
Tito in Yugoslavia
Geneva, Switzerland (U.R)
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles flew to Vienna Saturday
en route to confer with Marshal
Tito of Yugoslavia on defense of
the strategic Mediterranean
area.
0 The other Big Four ministers
also were taking advantage of a
three-day recess in the dead
locked conferences to mend some
political and diplomatic fences.
"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.

'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.

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.
Campaign Heated
As Talent District
Election Hears
The campaign in the election
for a new director of the Talent
Irrigation District became heat
ed last week. The election is
Tuesday.
Two candidates are on the bal
lot for the directorship. They
are Joe H. Meyer, the incumbent,
and David H. Holmes.
The voting will be at the Tal
ent Irrigation district office at
Talent from ' 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Nov. 8. The directorship is for a
three-year term beginning Jan.
1, 1956.
Meyer Incumbent
Meyer is completing his first
term. He is a truck farmer, rais
ing tomatoes, onions, cantaloups
and other garden produce.
Holmes, president of Harry
and David's Bear Creek orchards
also is engaged in dairying and
stock raising.
Supporters of both men have
been active on behalf of their
candidates during the week. A
"Committee for David H.
Holmes for Director of Talent
Irrigation District" has been
formed, with Henry G. Enders
as chairman. A letter over their
signatures has been distributed,
and a copy, submitted to the
Mail Tribune as a letter to the
editor, appears in the Communi
cations column of today's paper.
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.

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. Mail Jribune Starts

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

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

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 ..."

Sharply-Worded Notes

In sharply-worded notes hand

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

assigned functions."
In the interest of peace, the r
department urged both sides to

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

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 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.
