Jjumane Society fo
Continue Operation
Southern Oregon Humane So
ciety will continue operation for
the remainder of this year.
The society's board of trustees
made the decision today follow
ing a public hearing at which
A. K. Woody) Morse, of Morse
Motors in Medford, guaranteed
payment of the society's deficit
for this year
Attending the hearing, held to
consider dissolution of the so
ciety, were seven local residents
including Morse, and seven
trustees of the society.
Insufficient Funds
The trustees stated there was
not sufficient money to continue
operation. While the society has
in the past received limited aid
from the state, county and city,
further funds from these sources
will not be forthcoming.
They also explained the so
ciety has experienced consider
able difficulty in obtaining funds
since organization of the United
Medford Crusade. The humane
society has applied for member
ship in the UMF, but was re
jected and contributions from
the UMF have been only those
which were specifically desig
nated for the society.
Morse and others at the hear
ing expressed belief that many
southern Oregon residents rec
ognize the need for such a so
ciety and would contribute if
they were contacted. The trust
ees, however, said concerted ef
forts in soliciting money had
produced only discouraging re
sults. At least $1,000 more would
be necessary, they indicated, to
sustain the program for the re
mainder of this year.
They also said the financial
problem would be greater next
year since funds alloted by the
Jackson county dog control
board would not be renewed.
From Jan. 1 to May 31 income
totaled $3,407.75 and routine ex
penses were $3,000.75. Net bank
balance on May 31 was
1.018.95.
The society, originally the
Jackson County Humane So
ciety, was organized in 1928 as
a non-profit corporation for pro
tection and care of animals.
This morning's hearing in the
courthouse auditorium started at
10 a.m. and ended about 10:30
a.m. Chairman of the board is
R. W. Frame and president of
the society is Mrs. Robert
Keeney.

Response To Polio
Vaccination
Declared 'Gratifying'
A check of local doctors and
drug stores today showed "ex
cellent" results from the current
campaign to encourage Salk
anti-polio vaccinations, it was
reported today.
The campaign, sponsored by
the Jackson county chapter of
the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis, is being con
ducted to encourage all persons
up to age 19, and expectant
mothers, to receive the first of
the three-shot series before the
polio season arrives. Polio inci

100-Mile An Hour
Chase Ends With
Arrest in Yreka
A 100-mile an hour auto chase
from Ashland over Siskiyou sum
mit ended at Yreka, Calif., last
night with the arrest of Stephen
Basey, 21, address unknown.
Basey is being held in Yreka i
on a concealed weapons charge,
A search of his car and Basey
revealed an automatic pistol on
a clip underneath the dashboard
and two switch knives, Ashland
police said. According to police.
he has refused to waive extra
dition. The chase began about 7:15
p.m. yesterday. This is the story
according to Ashland police:
Cars Parked
An off duty patrolman noticed
two cars parked on a boulevard
in Ashland. He called police
headquarters, thinking the men
in-the autos might be drinking
Kenneth Barger, a lieutenant
was sent to investigate.
Barger approached the cars
and recognized the man in one
of them as Basey, who is wanted
on a warrant for a felony charge
in Josephine county.
Basey saw the policeman and
"took out at 80 or 85" miles per
hour
Barger stopped him after a
short chase. Bothcars pulled to
the curb and Barger got out to
talk to Basey. The latter waited
until the lieutenant was walking
up to the car, then started his
car and headed south on High
way 99.
Resume Chass
Barger resumed the chase, and
radioed police to alert stations
down the line, for the fleeing
car.
Basey ran a highway depart
ment roadblock, and went past
the California checking station.
A Siskiyou county sheriff's
deputy ran Basey off the road
with a pickup truck after Yreka
city police had "fired three or
four shots" into Basey's car.
He was arrested by. the sher
iff's officers there. He is being
held for possible extradition to
face charges in Josephine county.
Apcording to Oregon state law,
a police officer "in fresh pur
suit" of a person or persons
wanted on a felony charge may
cross a state line. . . . .

site, and the new Culbertson

the first time this season.
Officials of the bureau of re

agent's office are expected to
participate on 'the field trip.
The trip was scheduled to ac

are scheduled for replacement
this fall. Another trip is plan
ned next year to allow users to
see new structures. Bids for the
rehabilitation work will be op

Hoffbuhr pointed out that cars
will travel close to the scheduled
sites on the field trip. .

Campaign
swing during, August, Septem
ber and October.
One doctor reported two to
three vaccinations being made
weekly before the campaign
started. They now have jumped
to 10 to 15 a day, his office said.
Another reported a big increase
in the younger age group but
said response by teen-agers has
been slow.
Response 'Gratifying'
Still another doctor said the
teen-age response has been "very
gratifying" while another said
"we can't keep the phone an-
swered, people are making ap
pointments all day long."
Drug stores generally reported
a sharp increase in sale of the
vaccine.
Harry Chipman, chairman of
the county chapter, said the vac
cine supply for the county now
looks better than at any time
since its release. A total of 216,
361 cc's of the vaccine are now
available for use in Oregon, he
said. Each shot in the three-shot
series contains one cc. Current
national production schedules in-
dicate that Oregon can expect
upwards of 200.000 cc's of addi-
tionaL vaccine each month from
now on, Chipman said.
Use Must Increase
Unless Oregon is to lose part
of its supply to other states, the
current rate of use must be in
creased sharply, the chairman
pointed out. Rough estimates
indicate slightly over half of the
eligible age group in the county
had received the vaccine up to
the first of this week.
Doctors in the county are gen
erally agreed that a charge of
$10 for the complete series of
vaccinations will be made. This
barely covers the doctors' cost
of the vaccine and administering
expense.
Verdict Favoring
Copco Returned
A Jackson county circuit court
jury yesterday returned a ver
dict in favor of the California
Oreeon Power comDany in a
damage suit resulting from the
Blackwell hill fire last Labor
Day week end."
The suit was brought by the
Rev. and Mrs. D. W. Casey, who
live on old Highway 99 south
of Gold Hill. They sought to
recover damages for the loss of
certain personal property de
stroyed in "the fire. The Rev.
Casey is pastor of the Church
in the Pines.
Mr. and Mrs; Casey claimed
that Copco was responsible for
the fire because of a portion of
a dead pine tree blew through
the air and hit one of its distri
bution lines.
The Blackwell hill fire started
from a broken power line which
ignited dry grass between old
and new Highway 99 near the
Church in the Pines. High winds
and low humidity caused the
fire to spread rapidly.
The trial lasted five days with
Circuit Judge H. K. Hanna pre
siding. Mr. and Mrs. Casey were
represented by George W. Rode
and Copco was represented by
Roberts, Kellington and Branch-

Administration
Looks To Senate
To Up Foreign Aid
House-Approved Bill
Studied by Committee
Washington (U.R) The Eisen
hower administration today
looked to the Senate to make a
sizeable increase in the $3,400,
000,000 appropriation voted by
the House Wednesday for the
foreign aid program.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee was called into closed
session this morning to consider
the House-approved bill. The
committee hoped to finish its
deliberations late today or Friday.-
The House approved the $3,
000,000,000 figure by a vote of
284 to 120, over the pleas of
President Eisenhower. Despite
the taunts of Democrats and the
pleas of GOP leaders, no effort
was made to increase the total
in line with President Eisen
hower's expressed wishes.
Approve Aid Study
Administration leaders de
cided such an effort would have
little chance of success in the
House.
In another development the
Senate Wednesday approved a
$300,000 study of the foreign aid
program. It would be conducted
by a special 19-member commit
tee, including all 15 members
of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, plus the ranking Demo
crat and Republican on both the
Appropriations and Armed
Services Committee.
The House total is $1,500,000.
000 less than the $4,900,000,000
originally asked by Mr. Eisen
hower and $600,000,000 less than
the $14,000,000,000 authoriza
tion ceiling voted earlier by the
House" and - Senate. Mr. Eisen
hower hoped the appropriation
woild at least match the authori
zation. Nixon Scores Cuts
In the Senate, efforts were
expected to both cut and raise
the $3,400,000,000 figure. The
outcome is uncertain.
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, returning from an Asian
tour, said Wednesday that cuts
in U.S. aid could be "disastrous"
in some of the areas he visited.
Secretary of State John Fos
ter Dulles told a news confer
ence Wednesday a $1,500,000,000
slash made by the House would
seriously undermine the defense
programs of U. S. Allies, includ
ing such countries as Formosa,
Korea and Viet Nam.

Nixon 'Definitely'
No. 2 on Ticket,
Hall Declares
Halleck To Make
Nominating Speech
Gettysburg, Pa. (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower will go to San
Francisco in August to accept
the Republican nomination as
head of an ','Eisenhower and
Nixon" ticket, GOP National
Chairman Leonard W. Hall an
nounced today.
Hall said after a one-hour con
ference with Mr. Eisenhower
that Vice President Richard M.
Nixon "absolutely" would have
the No. 2 spot on the 1956 GOP
ticket.
Hall said Mr. Eisenhower will
be present at the GOP National
Convention after he is nomin
ated, probably on Wednesday,
Aug. 22.
He also announced that Rep.
Charles A. Halleck (R-Ind.) will
make the speech nominating Mr.
Eienhower for a second term.
Vigorous Campaign
Hall said Mr. Eisenhower will
take part in a "vigorous,, hard
hitting campaign."
Asked to predict the outcome
of the election, Hall said it would
be "very very good and better
than in 1952."
Hall was asked whether the
president made clear that he
still wants Nixon as his running
mate. ' -
"Absolutely," Hall replied.
"I think it's Eisenhower and
Nixon that's it;"
He also predicted that the Re
publicans will recapture control
of Congress.
No Whistle Stops
Hall said Mr. Eisenhower him
self will not engage in a whistle
stop campaign, but will rely
mainly on modern media, such
s radio and television. He indi
cated that Nixon, however,
would do the whistle stopping
along with key members of the
Cabinet, Senate and House.
As for the President s health,
Hall said "nothing has been kept
from the American people.
The health issue, he said, had
been met "by candor and frank
ness" on the part of the Presi
dent, and White House aides
who have kept the people in
touch through the press with
the "daily condition of the Presi
dent's health."
Congressional Outlook
Hall predicted that the Re
publican party will pick up more
congressional seats and more
electoral votes from the South.
He said he did not anticipate
any trouble" on the farm issue.
Asked which Democratic can
didate would be the "hardest
to beat," Hall replied sharply:
"Oh, I don't care which one
Hall said the congressional
picture looks "good" in both
houses for the Republicans. He
particularly singled out the Sen
ate candidacy of former Secre
tary of Interior Douglas McKay
in Oregon, Gov. Arthur Langlie
in Washington and former Am
bassador tolndia John Sherman
Cooper in Kentucky.
Hall said the overall Republi
can budget for the campaign is
$7,000,000.

Portland U.P.) Operators of

The numbers of cars going to
Prescott park on Roxy Ann was
1,950 in the three weeks from
May 21 through June 10, accord
ing to a report of a traffic coun
ter installed on the park road.
The counter registered only
107 cars for the week July 2

was low, city officials believe
the counter was not working
properly.
For the week May 21 through
27, cars numbered 347 on the
weekdays, and 197 over the two
days of the week end; for May
28 through June 3, weekday cars
were 337, week end 236; for June

Lodge Assails
Soviet Diplomat
For Attack in UN
Russia Agrees To
Manpower Proposal
United Nations, N.Y. AJ.R
Russia today agreed to Western
proposed manpower levels for
disarmament, coupled with a nu
clear weapons ban, and deliv
ered to the United Nations a
blistering attack on American
foreign policy.
Soviet Delegate Andrei A.
Gromyko drew an immediate
reply from U.S. Ambassador
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. in the
ujm. Disarmament Commission,
Lodge told the Kremlin din-
lomat that his hour-long speech
was a "scurrilous attack on my
country m the very worst tradi
tions of Stalinism.",
Misquote Charged
He accused the Russian of
misquoting Assistant Secretary
of State Francis O. Wilcox that
the Untied States was not i
ested in disarmament.
Wilcox actually said rpmnt1v
in a Chicago srmvh that tva
word "disarmament" was mis
leading and the United States
favored regulated reductions of
disarmament.
Gromyko claimed that the
United States is to blame for
lack of normal relations with
Red China, the disunity of Ger
many and preservation of the
colonial system in Asia. He also
assailed the Baghdad pact,
backed by the United States and
Britain, as a weapon of aggres
sion in the Middle East. He said
America and Britain have sold
"enormous amounts" of arms to
Israel and Arab nations.
Largest Enterprise
Gromyko charged, "certain
circles in the United States are
unwilling to embark upon the
path of disarmament." He said
American military aviation is
the "largest enterprise in the
world" buying annually pur
chases of dollar value exceeding
those of U.S. Steel, E. I. DuPont
de Nemours, Standard Oil of
New Jersey, American Tele
phone and Telegraph, and Gen
eral Motors, taken together.
"In order to 'justify the high
profitable armaments race,"
Gromyko said, "the monopolistic
circles make every effort to
frustrate the settlement of urg
ent political problems."
Opposes All Proposals
Gromyko's previous contribu
tions in the two-week debate
of the 12-nation Disarmament
Commission had consisted main
ly of unrelenting opposition to
all Western disarmament pro-
posals.
He has accused the West of
"sabotaging" disarmament talks,
charged a Western-backed six
point declaration of principles
"sounded the death knell" of the
arms reduction question, and
flatly rejected President Eisen
hower's "open skies" plan for
mutual aerial inspection.
