The Rogue Valley Memorial
hospital fund-raising drive went
well over its goal last night. Sup
porters of the hospital immedi
ately turned to plans for con
tinued assistance and long-range
support of the hospital.
At the "victory" dinner last
night, final compilation of dona
tions showed a total of $876,379
turned in so far. Some donations
are still to come in. The stated
goal was $850,000.
Replace Present Hospital
This money will be used with
some $600,009 already given in
two large donations, with some
$563,000 in federal Hill-Burton
funds, ard with a smaller Ford
Foundation grant for a total of
more than $2,000,000, to build a
new hospital to replace the pres
ent Community hospital. The
new structure, which will have
78 beds, will be located on a site
at the corner of Murphy lane and
Barnett rd.
The dinner was the culmina
tion of a campaign which started

up with a general appeal which
has run for more than a month.
The latter phase has been
sparked by daily breakfast meet
ings at the Elks club, where last
night's dinner was held. Nearly
250 men have participated.
Louise D. Barr, professional
fund-raising campaign organizer

this morning that never in all his
experience has he seen so much
money raised per capita. "It is
an outstanding achievement," he
said. "Including the re-campaign
gifts, a community of
about 25,000 people raised more
than $1,400,000. I've never be
fore .seen anything like it, and
it is something of which the
community can well be proud.
The generosity and hard work
of Medford people is something
I shall always remember."'
Workers Honored
! In addition to the totaling up
of returns last night, the meeting
was devoted largely to honoring
the workers who had made the
campagn a success,' and in or
ganizing a continuing group, to
be known as the "Founders Serv
ice Organization," : which will
continue the fellowship and
feeling of service built up dur
ing the campaign.
. Diamond L. Flynn was ac
knowledged as the outstanding
campaign solicitor during the
meeting, and this morning he
was elected as first president of

officers, also all top workers
during the campaign, were Jim
Rowan, vice-president; Elliott

Objectives of the new group
dwill be to investigate any .detri

hospital and counteract it; to
continue obtaining funds as new
needs arise, and to act as a me
lon to the hospital board.
The directors include 21 work

Hospital Support
While the campaign met its
goal, it was pointed out that
- there will always be the need
for added funds for the support
of the hospital, as the rapid and
increasing growth of population
will soon make it necessary to
add to it. Equipment also will be
needed, and a women's group is
coordinating the plans of a
' number of organizations which
wish to participate in filling this
need.
. Special plaques awarded in
recognition of particular service
to the campaign were presented

Propaganda Gesture
Washington (U.R) Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles said
today that Russia Premier Ni
kolai Bulganin's latest letter to
President Eisenhower was in
tended as a propaganda gesture.
Consequently, Dulles told his
weekly news conference, the
United States will be in "no. great
hurry to reply to Bulganin's re
newed call for s a , 20-year-U.S.-Russian
non-aggression pact.
Bulganin also proposed similar
pacts with Britain and France.
British Prime Minister Anthony
Eden cold shouldered the pro
posal at a news conference here
last week, recalling that Russia
had denounced a -similar, treaty
with Britain and France only
last year.
Dulles said the second Bul
ganin letter, delivered last
Thursday, was apparently in
tended to counter the effect of
Mr. Eisenhower's polite but firm
rejection of the Premier's ' first
letter two weeks ago.
Dulles said the United States
drew these inferences from the
fact-that Russia chose a spec
tacular way of handling Bul
ganin's first letter to President
Eisenhower. He noted that Rus
sia followed the unprecedented
course of-delivering that letter
personally to the. President,
thereby getting the maximum
publicity. -

to meet "with an open mind"

Norwegian naval craft . cap

Control
I on the ground that it didn't ade
quately take into account all of
the resources of the valley, and
for that reason action was sus
pended on it by the interior de
partment. "There was never in my mind
any desire to retard the develop
ment of this river, except such as
was created by people who felt
that the .report previously sub
mitted was not adequately com
prehensive," McKay said.
' "In view of , these recent de
velopments it seems to me that
we should go forward " with 1 a
comprehensive review of the
river basin and the completion
of pending reports, taking into
account all of the resources, flood
control, irrigation, fish and wild
life, limber, recreation and oth
ers, and a plan which will make
the maximum use of all avail
able rsources."
Outlines Plans
In reviewing association ac
complishments, Bristol outlined
plans for incorporation and ex
panded membership to include
representation from Gold Beach
to the upper portion of the river.
He pointed out the need for com
pletion of a comprehensive sur
vey conducted jointly by the bu
reau 'of reclamation and Army
corps of engineers.
' About 80 per cent of the sur
vey work has been done, he said.
An additional survey would in
clude, a report by the fish and
wildlife service on the possible
effect of a, dam or dams on fish
ing in the river. . I--'
, Bristol said that members of
the association board of direc
tors had met with the Grants
Pass committee last Tuesday to
discuss a possible merger of the
two groups. A difference of opin
ion as to "where leadership of
a flood control organization
should rest, and a clash of per
sonalities were evidenced at the
meeting," Bristol said.
He stressed a need for unity
and the subordination of personal
feelings to the attainment of the
over-all goal of flood control.
Merger with the Grants - Pass
group was criticized by some at
the meeting who felt that it
might be controlled by the
Grants Pass Chamber of- Com
merce and the Izaak Walton
league. They expressed fear that
the Grants Pass committee
would drop 'the project before
work was actually started on a
flood control project.
Robert Saylor, association
member from Findley Bend, sev
eral miles below Grants Pass,
stated he felt their fears were
groundless.- He explained that
the Grants Pass committee would
be made up of representatives of
organizations who signed a reso
lution, circulated by the com
mittee,, directed to about 20 gov
ernment . agencies, asking for
early completion of flood . con
trol surveys. Some 32 organiza
tions have signed the resolution
and more are expected to do so.
Valley Representation
The committee would have
wide valley representation, Say
lor said, and for that reason it
would be impossible for any
group to control it. He pointed
out that several members of the
Rogue Flood Control and Water
Resources association board of
directors would automatically be
members of .the.Grants.Pass com
mittee. . In. answer to. charges that the
Izaak Walton league might, un
dermine a flood control program,
Hugh Molton, chairman of the
Grants Pass league's board of
directors, said that the league
was among the first to sign the
resolution asking for flood con
trol. He said he was not sure that a
high dam wouldn't be necessary
but that the league is not con
vinced that a series of tributary
dams is not feasible.

GOAL
File Memorandum
Opposing Motion in
D'Autremont Case
Asked Dismissal of
Remaining Indictments
District Attorney Walter Nun
ley today filed in circuit court
a state's memorandum in oppo
sition to a motion by Attorney
Edwafd C. Kelley that the five
remaining indictments against
Hugh D'Autremont be dismissed.
D'Autremont is serving a life
sentence in the. Oregon state
prison for first degree 'murder
growing out of the 1923 dyna
miting of a Southern Pacific
mail train in the Siskiyous. His
twin ; brothers, Roy and Ray,
convicted of the same crime,
are also serving life . sentences.
Ray is a patient at the state hos
pital. Kelly filed a motion late in
December asking dismissal of
three remaining indictments
charging D'Autremont with first
degree murder and two charg
ing him with attempted robbery
of a train and attempted rol
bery. , .
Will Be Considered
The motions and .memoran
dum will be considered by Judge
H- K- Hanna, who wil enter an
order either denying or grant
ing the dismissal motion.
, In the memorandum, Nunley
states that "There is no statute
of limitations on prosecution for
the crime . of murder arid the
running of the statute has been
tolled in the robbery - indict
ments by the filing of the in
dictments..,The,dismissal of these
indictments, if they; were to be
dismissed.. . . under the" author
ity of , (Oregon: law) .would not
serve m any way to acquit the
defendant nor bar another pros
ecution for the same crimes. It
would serve only to put the
state to the inconvenience and
expense of resubmitting these
matters to the grand jury for
the purpose of procuring new in
dictments. .
"However, in the event that
the court dismissed these indict
ments upon the basis of consti
tutional guarantees it would ap
pear that such dismissal would
serve to bar further prosecution
of these charges."
Nunley charged that D'Autre
mont has no "specific constitu
tional right to a 'speedy trial',"
as claimed by Kelly, because "29
years ago (D'Autremont) con
sented that these indictments be
held in abeyance and . . . not be
brought to trial."
In the case of U.S. vs. John
David "Provoo, which is cited by
Kelly, Provoo's indictment was
dismissed on the grounds he was
not granted a speedy trial. Nun
ley states in the memorandum
that ' D'Autremont has waived
his right to a speedy trial, and
that the only way to, dismiss an
indictment is that he demand it
be tried. "Then and only then is
it ; subject to dismissal if not
tried," Nunley said.
