(International) Allowable Cut of Sustained Yield to Be Increased Here Sustained yield allowable cut of timber on Rogue River Na tional forest will be increased 14 million board feet annually, ac cording to forest service offic ials. Allowable annual cut for the national forest has been set pre viously at 103 million board Medical Society Urges Polio Shots The Jackson County Medical society is solidly behind the cur rent campaign of the county chapter of the National Founda tion for Infantile- Paralysis fcr vaccinations with the Salk anti polio vaccine, Dr. Alvin Roberts of Central Point, Society presi dent, said today. The polio chapter is conduct ing a week-long campaign to encourage everyone in the coun ty under age 19, and expectant mothers, to receive the vaccine. "We are most happy to whole heartedly join in this campaign inasmuch as the polio season is only a few short weeks ahead," Dr. Roberts said. Jie pointed out that recipients of the vaccine now have time to build up a con siderable degree of immunity before the expectecT polio season starts in August. The polio sea son usually continues through October in this area. The medical society some time ago agreed on a charge of $10 for the series of three shots, the doctor said. This barely covers the Boctors' cost of the vaccine and of administering the shots.

Commissions Retaining Planner Here Ine Medford planning com mission last night decided to dis cuss with the county planning commission the possibility of ob taining the services of Harold F. Wise and associates, Palo Alto, Calif., planning engineers. Wise discussed various plans for metropolitan areas with mem bers of the Medford council and the city and county planning commissions last month. Arrange Meeting Commission Chairman Tom Wray directed City Manager Rob ert Duff to arrange a meeting with county planners to deter mine if the county group wishes to participate in hiring the firm. Wray pointed out that a gen eral plan for the metropolitan area is desirable because new industries and businesses consid ering locating here inquire about the general plan of development. Duff said Medford is about the only city in the state which has not taken advantage of urban feet. The new compilation, which places the cut at 117 mil lion feet, will be effective im mediately. Reason Listed Supervisor J. H. Wood said the increase is the result of a number of developments, includ ing application of better inven tory data and closer utilization standards. Cruise and scale volumes made available by widely spread timber sales in recent years were used to adjust older inventory estimates, Wood said. Weight was given certain tree species now being utilized which were not considered merchantable previously. , Better logging equipment and and methods are developing mountainous areas not operated in earlier years. More efficient utilization in the woods and at industrial plants result in fuller use of each tree harvested, he stated. Timber Inventory A detailed timber inventory for all working circles on the Rogue River forest will be start ed this year. Aerial photographs will provide one of the major tools, for the survey. Wood said. The photographs will be used as a base to delineate timber types.' Field survey parties, will check the timber types on the ground to establish volumes and growth. The inventory is expect ed to substantiate the present in crease in allowable cut with some possibility of further up ward adjustment, Wood stated. Contracts will be let this sum mer for aerial photography. For est officers anticipate the de tailed inventory job will be com pleted in two w three years. . Evans Valley School Addition to be Topic Evans Valley The necessity for construction of another class room and restroom facilities at Evans Valley Union school will be discussed at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the school gymnasium. Alf B. Mekvold, county school superintendent, will explain and answer questions regarding standardization requirem e n t s. All Evans Valley residents in terested in keeping state aid sup port for the school have been in vited to attend, school board members said. to Discuss development funds from the fed eral government. The commission agreed that if the county felt it could not parti cipate in hiring the services of a planning engineer at this time, the Medford group should pro ceed with what funds it has avail able. A total of $2,300 was budg eted to the commission this year, an amount which may be dou bled through federal funds. The planning commission rec ommended to the council that a change from two family (IB) to limited commercial (3A) in five lots in block 11 of Laurelhurst addition be approved. Also recommended to the coun cil were annexation of an area west of Lewis ave. and south of Main St.; and a request for a three-foot set back for St. Mary's school gymnasium for expansion purposes. The commission denied a re quest by petition for a change of zone in the Willamette st. area.

MEDFOP Umtea Press Fi-" 51st Year KNOV REVEALS PRESIDENT'S PLANS Gettysburg, Pa. U.R) There is no doubt about it now. Presi dent Eisenhower is definitely a candidate for a second term. He disclosed his intentions almost casually today in a meeting here with Republican congressional leaders who flew up from Washington. He told them he feels in belter shape than he did be fore his June 9 abdominal operation and is looking forward to a vigorous and active campaign. . Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland of California broke the news just outside the President's office at Gettysburg college. ' "The President reiterated the fact that he will be a candidate for reelection in 1956," Knowland declared. Nixon Not Mentioned In President's Remarks He told reporters the Presi dent did not discuss whether he still wants Vice President Rich ard M. Nixon for his running mate. But he said Mr. Eisenhow er did say he is still in the presi dential race and that "he and we are looking forward to a vigorous and active campaign under his leadership." The news, its timing was a surprise, ended weeks of specula tion over whether the Presi dent's operation might prompt him to reverse his Feb. 29 an nouncement about continuing, in the race. There were quick reverbera tions in the political world. Republicans Happy Republicans happily proclaim ed their pleasure and House GOP Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. predicted a "landslide vic tory" in November. For the rec ord at any rate, Democrats said they were glad Mr. Eisenhower will run but predicted he will be beaten. In Chicago, former President Harry S. Truman said it wasn't news to him. Adlai E. Steven son, front runner in. the. Demo cratic presidential stakes, said he was "delighted to hear the President feels in good enough health to run again." Sen. E s t e s Kefauver (D. Tenn.) also a Democratic presi dential hopeful, said he hoped Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhower reach ed the second term decision "without letting a lot of politi cal pressure play a part. . Knowland was asked whether Mr. Eisenhower had given any thoughts to changing his mind about a second term in view of his major operation to remove an intestinal obstruction just a month ago. In reply he said simply: "The fact remains he's in the race." Hsgerty All Smiles By Knowland's side when he broke the second term news was Presidential Press Secretary James E. Hagerty. He was all smiles and nodded as the word on the President's intentions un folded. Knowland said the President told him "he felt he is in better shape than , he was when he made the announcement last Feb. 29" that he was going to run for a second term. Knowland said Mr. Eisenhow er feels he is just continuing his previous plans to run. Knowland said he had not doubted that the President would run. But he added with a smile, "This clarifies the atmos phere." The circumstances of today's announcement contrasted sharp ly with the manner in which the President originally announced his second term intentions. His Feb. 29 announcement was made at a jam-packed White House news conference after weeks of uncertainty and sus pense over his intentions. That night, the President went on radio and television to explain his decision to the nation. Today's announcement came almost casually. (See story on Page 14) Cottage Grove Police Capture Young Escapees Cottage Grove (U.R) Two teen-age youths who escaped Monday from the Green Hill state training school at Chehalis, Wash., were taken into custody here this morning by state po lice. Makon Brooks, 17, and Rich ard Leon Lynch, 15, were ar rested as they passed through Cottage Grove in a car police said was stolen in Portland Mon day night. Officers here were alerted after the two youths were re ported to have driven away from a Creswell service station without paying for seven gallons of gasoline.' e- .-fAW . OREGON, E Be Considered by Humane Society Members of the Southern Ore gon Humane society will discuss dissolution of the society, and settlement of business and dis posal of property, at a meeting at 10 a.m. Thursday in the Jack son county courthouse audito rium. The action is being considered, trustees said, because of in creased financial problems. The society, they stated, must de pend upon its own income, earn ed through boarding dogs and performance of similar services, plus contributions from individ uals. They pointed out that income from city, county and state has been curtailed gradually and withdrawn creating the present financial problem. It has been further complicated, trustees said, since the United Medford Crusade was formed making it difficult for the society to con duct an independent fund-rais ing campaign. Trustees said an application for membership in UMC has been rejected and contributions from the Crusade are only those wnicn are specifically" designat ed for the humane society. Trustees said they believe there is no other alternative but to discontinue operation and dis solve the society. If members concur, assets will be sold, and after payment of expenses and liabilities, the remaining funds will be distributed to some other charitable organization. Since plans for dissolution were first announced, however, a number of interested people in the area have expressed con cern, and ar taking steps to see if some means can be found to save the society. Sentence for Kidd Set Aside by Court Salem U.R) A two-year prison sentence handed to fire bug Richard Ray Kidd of Port land for unathuorized use of a motor vehicle was set aside yes terday by Marion county Circuit court. , Judge George Duncan ordered the Kidd case turned back to the grand jury when Kidd's attor ney, Leroy Lomax of Portland, contended that his client did not have the capacity to waive, grand jury hearing prior to his trial last month. Kidd was recently released from Oregon State hospital where he was taken after setting a half million dollar string of fires in Portland. County Civil Defense Will Establish Emergency Headquarters During Exercise Jackson county's Civil De fense agency will establish emer gency headquarters at the Civil Defense Control center at 7 a.m. July 20, during the nation's Civil Defense exercise, "Opera tion Alert," July 20-26, accord ing to Maj.

Thousands of homeless sur vivors gathered in open fields or knelt among the ruins of toppled Fire Conditions Still Hazardous Both the Oregon state forest patrol and Rogue River National forest offices were "hoping for the best" here this morning, as fire conditions remained haz ardous on forest lands. Neither office had reported any fires since Sunday. The weather outlook was for continued unfavorable condi tions, with temperatures near 90 and humidities between 20 and 30 per cent. Yesterday's humid ity low tied Sunday's 20 per cent for the lowest of the season. Thunderstorms, which have been in weather predictions for the past few days, were still threat ening in higher mountains. The forest service office said it was concerned about winds, yesterday, some of which reached 16 miles per hour in the Applegate, Butte Falls and Ash land districts. A spokesman said conditions were "much worse" than last week. All 15 state forest patrol look outs are up in this district.

Many Hornet Destroyed Thera, a crescent-shaped is land 12 miles long and three miles wide, was struck by the full force of the quake and a 13 foot tidal wave which followed. Half of the houses on the island were destroyed, along with doz ens of public buildings, churchei and business places. Harbor facilities were wrecked, delating the arrival of aid from Greece. The Athens Red Cross issued an urcent an neal for blood. Greek Premier Constantin Ka- ramanlis dispatched nine war- ships to the scene. Cavendish Cannon, U.S. am bassador to Greece, offered American food parcels, and units of the U.S. 6th Fleet stood by to help in any way possible. American Views Havoc Theodor JeckelL information officer of the U.S. embassy in Athens, surveyed the stricken, area from the air. - "Segments of the cliffs wer collapsing into the sea," Jeckell reports. "The island's capital (Thera) appeared to be com pletely razed, as well as the township on the northern tip of the island. "I saw a small islet in San torin's (Thera's) harbor that looked as if it had just arisen from the waves. It was still cov ered with lava." The area resembled a fuming cauldron throughout the night. Small earth tremors continued to shake Thera, which is also known as Santorin and Santor ini. Smoke belched from several volcanic craters on the main is land and three adjacent islets. Frightened islanders feared the continuing tremors were forerunners of another major jolt. The broadcast will last IS minutes.
