Af Dixon-Yafes Pact

declared last night that the j
Dixon - Yates contract "only
scratches the surface of some
of the deals which have been
going on in Washington."
The Atomic Energy Commis

controversial contract, Butler
told a press conference, is "com
plete vindication" of the stand
taken against it by Democratic
party leaders since its outset.
"It is definitely a victory for
the people," Butler added. "I
feel the administration is feel
ing the sting of public resent

deal."

Idaho Couple Observes
80th Wedding Anniversary;
Nation's Longest Married
Sagle, Ida. (U.R) Mr. and
Mrs. Benjamin Hartley offered
a special prayer of thanks today
as the one-time childhood sweet
hearts marked their 80th wed
ding anniversary to rule as the
nation's longest-married couple.
The observance was a quiet
one, tempered by concern over
the illness of "Grandpa" Hartley
whose failing health requires a
24-hour bedside vigil.
The oldsters, both 96, have
been living here since 1937 at
the home of their "baby" son,
Leo, who is nearly 60. Another
son, James, 76, helped celebrate
the anniversary. Frank, the
third living son, visited for sev
eral weeks this summer before
returning to his home at Sa
tanta, Kan.
Well Satisfied
"I have plenty to be thankful
for," said the sprightly Mrs.
Hartley. "Eighty years is a long
time, but I wouldn't trade a
minute of it."
' And that goes back to a chilly
day in 1875 in London county,
Tenn., when Ben rode up to Dru
silla Keith's house, put his
sweetheart on his horse and rode
off to Lenore City to be married.
They were only 16, but they
headed west for years of pioneer
farming in Eastern Kansas at
Tibloe, later known as Bonner
Springs. In the 1880s they moved
to the western plains of Kansas.
"During the good years wheat
grew so abundantly the elevators
were filled to overflowing, but
the dust storms ruined the land
and we had to leave."
Slight Misunderstanding
"I used to wear overalls when
I went horseback riding out
there in the open because it was
such a job to ride side-saddle
with all those skirts," she said.
"Of course Mr. Hartley didn't
like the idea so if I had my real
full riding skirt I'd be very prop
er until I was sure I was out of
his sight before I'd ride astride.
"That's about as close as we
ever came to an argument," she
said. "We got all that out of the
way before we got married, and
it's the best way to stay married."
She figures that's good advice
for the younger generation, but
she also says young folk should
appreciate what they have at
home.
"That's where the heart is and
no amount of running around
will change that," she said.

Public Speaking
Course Advised
San Francisco (U.R) So you
want to be a football coach?
If you do, Coach Chuck Tay
lor of Stanford suggests that you
take up public speaking as a ma
jor subject in both high school
and college. Also join the de
bating teams.
While the average fans think
that the hard work for a coach
ends the final day of the grid sea
son, actually that's when it
really begins.
"For the next few weeks,"
says Taylor, "I'll do some of my
hardest work of the season. From
dawn until midnight I'll be
either talking to alumni or
scouts or making speeches. And
I'll be on the road almost con
tinuously." Taylor is no different than oth
er coaches at the big-time
schools. They all hit the road the
minute the final day of the sea
son is over.

Taxation Has Many
Problems, Hawyer
Tells Kiwanians
Taxation is a many faceted
sort of a problem, Deputy Coun
ty Assessor Andrew Hawver
brought out yesterday in a talk
to Medford Kiwanians concern
ing property reappraisal in
Jackson county.
Mentioning that reappraisal 1
provided the first opportunity
in a number of decades for a
full physical inventory of prop
erty values, Hawver pointed to
a 30.6 per cent increase in tax
able value for this year over last.
Assessed valuation for 1955
was S80,658,894.05 compared to
$61,754,115.32 in 1954, he re
ported. However, last year's totals
were based on a 1930 replace
ment cost factor while this year's
valuation were figured from
property values as determined
by reappraisal started in the
county in 1952. The new fig
ures were not used until this
year. Assessed valuation this
year was determined at a ratio
of 25 per cent of appraised value.
Tax Dollars Up
Average millage rate in the
county dropped from 70.2 mills
last year to 63.3 mills this year
but taxes in dollars increased
14.4 per cent, $4,631,498!39 to
$5,413,239.45.
Discussing why property tax
es increase and continue to go
up, Hawver stated that 84 cents
out of every tax dollars, on a
conservative average over the
county, goes to the schools. He
said that 59 cents out of the tax
dollar in Medford, goes to the
schools. Hawver also reported
that value of property in the
county exempt from taxes is
$42,620,310. "If some people
don't pay, others have to pay for
them," he remarked.
The deputy assessor, who an
swered questions after listing
facts and figures, said that the
people's own' vote will deter
mine whether there is a boost in
taxes next year. He said that
people are welcome to come to
the assessors office and see the
appraisal cards on their prop
erty. The luncheon meeting was at
the Jackson hotel.
Symonds' Convicted
Killer Makes Appeal
Singapore (U.R) The court
of criminal appeal heard today
the appeal of Chinese truck
driver Ang Ah Too, convicted
and sentenced to death for the
murder of United Press Corres
pondent Gene Symonds last May.
Symonds was fatally assaulted
by a mob during a labor riot in
Singapore May 12. He died in a
hospital the following day as a
result of head and body injuries.
About a month after the riot,
Ang Ah Too and an Indian youth,
S. Suppiah, were arrested and
charged with Symonds' death.
In the trial that followed, Sup
piah was acquitted and released
but the jury found the Chinese
driver guilty of the charge of
"being a member of an unlawful
assembly, the common object of
which was to cause hurt to one
Gene D. Symonds and that while
a member of that assembly, one
or more members thereof com
mitted murder by causing the
death" of Symonds.
