Nation Prepares
For Elections on
New Year's Day
Move Ertds Threat
To Unseat Premier
Paris (U.R) Premier Ed
gar Faure disbanded the French
National assembly today in a
Controversial political stroke
that abruptly ended its threat
o unseat him as premier.
The assembly ceased to exist
at 7 a.m. (1 a.m. EST) with pub
lication of the decree in the
"Journal Officiel." France im
mediately prepared for elections
on New Year's day.
Faure called a press confer
ence for today to explain his
move which was condemned by
his political enemies as a "coup
de force" riding roughshod
over the will of Parliament.
Hurried Session Called
The Council of State, France's
supreme constitutional court,
called a hurried session totry
to find a loophole to prevent
the elections falling on such an
unpopular date the morning
after for 40,000,000 Frenchmen.
Th) council hofed to set the
elections for a week later.
French voters have been per
plexed for a week by the rapid
fire political moves that explod
ed into one of the gravest crises
since 1877 when last a Parliament-was
dissolved by such a
decree. And their reaction to
possibilities of a New Year's
election was varied.
French Woman Above All
' "Above all I'm a French wom
an," said Marcelle Joubert, 45,
a blonde tradeswoman. "I'll
vote."
"To hell with it," said taxi
driver Henri Terrine, 65. "I'm
not going to spend the best day
of the year voting."
Dissolution of Parliament was
the second time in two days
Faure had left the hostile depu
ties gasping. They voted no con
fidence in his government Tues
day and went home to bed, con
fident he would resign. .
But Faure looked up a con
stitutional provision which sajd
he could fire Parliament if two
premiers were voted out of of
fice in 18 months. So he an
nounced his decision.
The angry assembly mengb
ers held a series of meetings
Thursday and the powerful Soc
ialist party began a move to
recall the chamber and pass a
vote of censure which would
mean Faure would have to re-j
sign.
And although he realized how
unpopular , New Year's day
election would be he ordered
President Rene Coty to prepare
the decree abolishing Parlia
ment. Bitter Enemies Agree
Faure and Pierre Mendes
France, his most bitter politi
cal enemy, agreed for once that
the decree is issued by the Presi
dent "but it is ,the premier who
decides."
That was probably the last
area of agreement for the two
men, once the best of friends,
now mortal enemies. Mendes
France called a meeting of the
Radical Socialist party and its
leaders decided by a vote of 19
to 8 to expel Faure from the
party. That action is not final
until the entire party member
ship votes on it.
Eisenhower Confers
With fop Advisers
Gettysburg, Pa. (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower bid a cheerful
"good morning" to newsmen to
day and then ducked into his
tiny downtown office to confer
with his top advisers on national
defense".
Secretary of Defense Charles
E. Wilson and Adm. Arthur W.
Radford, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, were two min
utes late for their appointment.
Tho weather forced them to drive
here from Washington instead
of flvine.
There was no indication of
what thsHPresident and his de
fense ch&fs discussed. It was
considered likely, though, that
they talked about such things
as the new military budget and
defense sirategy in view of the
failure of the Geneva foreign
ministers conference.

Safe Driving day, 1955, without
a traffic death and slightly im
proved on last year's SD day
record, the State Traffic Safety
division said today.
Ten persons were reported in
jured in 79 accidents compared
to 12 injuries in 80 accidents on
Safe Driving day, 1954, which
was held Dec. 15.
lndications Point To Big
Christmas Package Volume
Advance indications are that
the mail volume this Christmas
season will be the heaviest in
history. M e d f or d Postmaster
Moore Hamilton, has urged resi
dents to "mail early and avoid
the rush," and he noted . that
many residents already are mail
ing gifts going long distances.
Hamilton said a recent ruling,
effective on a trial basis, allows
senders of parcel post to enclose
a letter inside the package. Pre
viously, if a letter were inside
a package, the whole package
went at first class ates. Under
the new ruling announced by
Postmaster General Arthur Sum
merfield, a letter may be en
closed and the package marked
"First Class Mail Enclosed." An
extra charge of three cents is
levied.
Properly Wrap
Hamilton urged residents
sending packages to wrap them
properly, especially during the
Christmas rush. Parcel post is
often piled high in mail termi
nals, he said, and packages at
the bottom of the pile often are
damaged unless well wrapped.
68 Safe Driving Day
Deaths Disappointing
To Safety Experts
By UNITED PRESS
Safety experts expressed keen
disappointment today because
the nation apparently failed to
heed the Safe Driving Day cam
paign. A United Press count listed 68
persons killed in traffic during
the 24-hour period which ended
at midnight last night.
Two weeks ago, when a sam
ple count was taken on an ordi-
Jackson county was not without a fatality on Safe-Driving Day
yesterday, but the life lost was not a human one.
A car driven by Gilbert David Milford of Portland, going north
on Highway 99 near Blackwell hill, struck a deer crossing the
highway about 6:30 p.m. yesterday. Police said Milford was pass
ing another car when the deer jumped onto the highway. They
esiimaied Milford's speed about 50 miles an hour at the time of
impact.
A patrolman disposed of the deer, which suffered a broken
neck. Milford's car, which sustained a damaged radiator was towed
to Grants Pass.
Two other minor accidents were reported to state police. W. E.
Honeycut of Grants Pass reported his car and one operated by
Keith Edward Schroeder, route 3, box 195, Medford, bumped on
Highway 99 south of Phoenix yesterday morning. Ernest Thomp
son, 108 Queen Anne St., Medford, reported his car was involved
in a slight accident in Rogue River yesterday.
There were no accidents reported within the Medford city lim
its yesterday, and Police Chief Charles Champlin said he was
proud of the cooperation of residents in eliminating accidents.
nary Thursday, 69 persons were
killed.
Adm. H. B. Miller, director of
the President's Committee for
Traffic Safety, .termed, the re-
suits "disappointing." He said
in a prepared statement:
"Disappointing as the S-D Dy
toll was, we must not lose sight
of the fact that 10 days still re
main of the 21-day period that
constitutes the S-D Day cam
paign. "It is our hope that the impact
of S-D Day on the public will be
reflected in the 21-day toll

Hamilton said mailers should
note regulations governing
weight of packages. Those going
from one first, class office to
another are limited to 20 pounds
unless the "package is ' for de
livery locally. If within 150
miles of the mailing point, it
may weigh up to 40 pounds.
Parcels mailed at second, third
or fourth class offices or from
or to any star or rural route,
may weigh up to 70 pounds.
This limitation also applies to
packages mailed to military in
stallations. The use of first class postage
on Christmas cards is advised,
Hamilton said. With a three-cent
stamp, the card is assured of
being forwarded or returned if
the addressee has moved and no
forwarding address is on file.
Cards with two-cent stamps are
destroyed if not delivered.
Hamilton said a good isdica
tion of the volume this year may
be seen in November postage
stamp sales at the Medford post
office. Last month sales were
25 per cent higher than in No
vember, 1954.

Dulles was reported confident
today that Nationalist China
will not block admission of 13
free nations to the United Na

Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek
ultimately will yield to two per
sonal pleas sent him by Presi
dent Eisenhower.

lead to a U.N. seat for Chiang's
hated enemy, Red China.

Connelly Denies
Violation of Law
St. Louis (U.R) T. Lamar Cau
dle said today he. will demand a
"wide open" congressional in
vestigation of why he was indict
ed along with another Truman
administration figure on bribery
and perjury charges.
The federal Grand Jury in
dictments returned yesterday
linked Caudle, onetime chief of

Slack has been relieved of his
duties "'pending proceedings
looking to his removal."
In New York, Connelly, now
a public relations counsellor,
denied that he had violated any
law of the United States.
Caudle, Connelly and Schwim
mer were accused of conspiring
to defraud the government
through perjury and bribery in
the case of Irving Sachs, a St.

income tax evasion.
The three men conspired to

Aspects, Of County
Taxes Discussed
By Chamber Group
Various aspects of county rev
enues and budgeting were re
viewed by members of the Jack
son county court at a chamber of
commerce breakfast today.0
The session was the second in
a series of tax study meetings
being conducted by the legisla
tive committee of the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce
Chairman Frank Van Dyke pre
sided." Q
Lists Budget Items
Commissioner Chester Wendt
listed the principal items of the
county budget for this year, ex
plaining briefly the reasons for
increases or decreases. Gentral-
lyvhe indicated, increasses1 -were
the result of higher costs of do
ing busines, of adding person
nel necessary to conduct the
county's business, and salary in
creases to obtain and retain per
sonnel. The largest increase was in
the county's road funds, Wendt
explained. It was brought out
during the discussion that the
total county tax levy this year,
totaling more than $690,000, was
almost double that of last year.
But three years ago, the levy
totaled nearly $600,000. The
higher figure this year was used
so the county could take advan
tage of the 6 per cent increase
allowed, and not lose its tax
base, the officials explained.
Courthouse Construction
One of the largest budgeted
items is the courthouse construc
tion and maintenance fund, it
was stated, which provides the
county with a fund on which' it
can draw for improvements as
they become necessary.
County Judge Rodney Keat
ing outlined sources of income
which the ' county has in addi
tion to tax levies. The largest
of these are monies received
from the Bureau of Land Man
agement as the county's share
of receipts from income off the
O&C lands.
Others include various re
ceipts and fees, and in all the
non-tax receipts total $3,212,
762. Judge Keating said.
Commissioner L. G. Morthland
pointed out that a large portion
of the taxes collected inside the
6 per cent limitation are turned
over by the county to other gov
ernmental units, over which the
county has no real control.
Other Meetings Scheduled
Later meetings of the group
will hear city officials discuss
tax problems of the cities of this
area, and county assessment and
appraisal officers discuss their
duties in relation to the tax sit
uation here.
Van Dyke explained the aim
of the committee is to gain a
broad background and picture
of the entire situation before
coming to any specific conclu
sions regarding taxation. A
number of additional meetings
will be held on a regular basis,
he said.
Vehicle Registration

Fire Damages Home
Here Early Today
An overstuffed chair was
destroyed and the ceiling floor
and a wall were damaged by fire
this morning at the Charles Clif
ford Cowan residence, 509 Aus
tin st.
Firemen said the fire alarm
was their first in five days. They
were summoned about 9:55 a.m.
by a neighbor. Mr. and Mrs.
Cowan were at work at the time.
In addition to the fire burning
a hole in the floor under the
chair, a hole in the wall beside
it and another in the ceiling,
heat damaged other furniture in
the room, firemen reported. They
said there was extensive smoke
damage throughout the house.
- On arrival, firemen were told
there was a dog in the house.
They found the animal under the
bed. It was probably the only
place the dog could have been
and survived, according to fire
men.
As possible causes, firemen
listed a cigarette or a frayed
electrical extension cord which
extended under the chair to a
table lamp.

strong tides, and by the darkness
at the depth where Tallarico
was trapped.
When freed, Tallarico was
brought slowly to the surface to
prevent him from suffering an
attack of the dread divers' dis
ease known as "the bends,"
which results from a too-sudden
change in pressure.
Smiles Despite Numbness
The diver emerged from the
chilled water smiling despite his
benumbed arms and legs and
told rescuers he was "glad to be
out."
During the early hours of the
ordeal he maintained good
spirits.
But later he complained of
cold and soreness and suffered
sharply during the slow and
painful ascent to the surface.
