You won't be lonesome if you
dead to get in on the excite-
. ment of the first national politi
cal convention ever held on the
est coast. An estimated 40,000
to 4o,000 men, women and chil
dren, ready to chant "We Like
Ike Again, will converge on
San Francisco for the 1956 Re
publican national convention be
(inning August 20.
Most of them will have no di
rect connection with the con
vention but will be combining
vacation with the opportunity
to watch the expected second-
term nomination for Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
On a recent motorlog for The
Oregonian and the Oregon State
Motor association to the Bay
city, we talked to officials of the
San Francisco convention and
visitors bureau, leaders planning
the Republican convention, rep
resentatives of the California
State Automobile association
and hotel and motel operators.
Two years ago San Francisco
was host to 43,000 who were
there for the American Medical
association convention. Some
had to stay -10 or 50 miles away
In the Eastbay area or down the
peninsula. Many stayed in pri
vate homes with friends.
That is undoubtedly what will
happen in August. That distance
is not unusual to travel each
day in the bay area. Many who
work in San Francisco commute
from homes 50 miles away.
Ted Dalton, who two years
ago made a strong race for gov
ernor of Virginia despite being
a Republican, has been working
on housing steadily since early
April and had 8000 hotel or mo
tel rooms assigned already. He
had another 1500 in reserve and
expected to need still more be
fore D-day, August 20.
Those 10,000 or more rooms
won't be luxurious, he said, but
thevTi all be clean.
13x1- lam
Fisherman's wharf; like little bit of Genoa on San Francisco
bay, ia pletumqrje "must" for every visitor. Touriata can .
combine alg-htaeetng with polities daring ' GOP meetings. '
Motels in San Francisco have
not been numerous, but many
excellent ones have been built
in the last couple of years. Sev
eral more in the luxury class
will be finished by convention
time. Some are as close to
downtown as Nob Hill. From
the motels will come approxi
mately 20 per cent of the 10.000
convention rooms.
Oregon's delegation will have
its headquarters in the Chancel
lor hotel near Union square in
downtown San Francisco, but
many delegates and convention
visitors will be lodged in the Sir
Francis Drake and Oxford ho
tels and various motels.
Motel managers. Dalton and
Harold F. Strong, secretary of
the convention bureau, urged
Northwest residents to be sure
they have reservations before
they jump in their cars and
drive to San. Francisco for the
GOP session. Either that or
bring sleeping bags and be pre
pared for a night in their cars.
The Cow palace, where full
convention meetings will be
held, holds 15.000. But some 40.
000 or more will want to get in
for at least one of the sessions.
Four thousand newspaper, mag
azine, radio and TV representa
tives enough to fill Portland s
auditorium by themselves will
cover the event.
Most popular probably will be
the third day, on which presi
dential nominations are expect
ed to be made. The convention
will open at 11 a. m. Monday,
August 20. The first day will '
be concerned with organiza
tional matters such as seating
delegates. No great fireworks
are expected in this department.
But of interest to Northwest
residents will be the keynote
address by Governor Arthur B.
Langlie of Washington.
Only afternoon sessions wiD
be heidon the remaining days,
with 2 o'clock the convening
hour.-
Chairman Leonard Hall has
announced that convention busi
ness will be completed in four
da.vs. Much of the work, of
course, will be accomplished in
committees in the Mark Hop
kins and Fairmont hoteLs,
which are convention headquarters.
The man to see for convention
tickets is' Jess Gard, Oregon Re
publican national committee
man.
Vast Cow Palace will house sessions of GOP conclave. Built
In 1935, it was named when newspaper naked why San Fran--iaoo

Airmen in Alaska Seeking
Peter Polar Bear Certificate
Fairbanks, Alaska (U.R)
' Every week end, the Beaverette,
a hulking C124 transport, un
loads at Ladd Air Force Base
here with a group of Alaskan
Air Command officers and men
seeking the "Peter Polar Bear"
certificate.
This certificate, more coveted
in Alaska than a college degree,
signifies completion of the rigor
ous course of the Arctic Survival
school that is designed to keep
men alive snould they crash
land far from civilization. And
in Alaska, a territory one-fifth
the area of the United States,
civilization frequently is hun
dreds of miles away. As one of
the instructors at the school,
MSgt. K. R. Clemmons of
Trenton, Mich., put it:
"Our entire mission is to

keep a man alive for four or five
days, once's he's down."
Capt. W. E. Bullington, officer
in charge of the school, added,
"if we save just one life, then
our whole operation is justified."
The week-long course includes
three intensive days of class
room work, listening to lectures
from men trained in Alaskan
lore, and two days of "field
training," when they go out into
the snow country and see if they
can put theory into practice.
How To Do It
The faculty of the school is
convinced that, with modern ra
dio and radar equipment now in
Air force operation in the Far
North, a man who can stay alive
a few days after a crash landing
is virtually certain to be picked
up by the alert, brave crews of
the Air Rescue Service.
The trainees are warned that
the first step after a crash is to
take care of injured. Then a
comfortable camp should be
built, signals laid out and pro
curement of native food to sup
plement survival kit rations
started.
MSgt. Claude C. Fredericks
of St. Petersburg, Penn., a vet
eran of nearly six years on the
school staff, and Clemmons
along with other instructors
show how available material
can be readily used for shelter.
Igloo Construction Urged
If the crash is in an area
covered with ice or snow, they
urge that igloos be constructed
from blocks of ice or packed
snow. Should camp be set up in
timber or brush country recom
mended procedure is to build a
native-type igloo, cutting nine
tall poles, erecting them in a
frame and then covering them
with parachute nylon.
Courses are given in building
of fires, smoking of fish or game,
making beds of birch boughs and
in improvising cooking and eat
ing utensils. Exhibits show at
least 22 native shrubs, bushes
and flowers that can be used for
food, but warn of six others that
could cause poisoning. .
Completion of the course earns
a certificate signed by "Peter
Polar Bear," attesting a man's
training to survive in the Arctic.
Bocy of Iowa Girl
Found in Newport Harbor
Newport Beach, Calif. (U.R)
The body of a five-year-old
Waterloo, Iowa, girl, who had
been feared kidnaped, was found
Tuesday in Newport Harbor
where she apparently fell off a
pier and drowned two days ago.
Three 14-year-old boys fishing
in a rowboat discovered the body
of Barbara L. Blasier floating
near the boat pier where the
child disappeared Sunday.

Several Ordinances
Passed by Council
Ordinances were adopted last engineers. Bids were scheduled"
night by the Medford city coun-to be opened Aug. 2 in Portland
cil accepting one easement of
property and authorizing nego
tiations for easement of
public right of way.
The council accepted ease
ments offered by Southern Pa
cific for a 10-inch sewer line
along the railroad right of way,
and one for an 8-inch sanitary
sewer along the right of way be
tween Main and Eighth sts.
Negotiations were authorized
by the council for right of way
necessary to open Jackson st.
between Barneburg ave. and
Sunrise ave.
Main Construction
An ordinance was adopted
providing a segregation of assess
ments for water mam construc
tion on Barnett rd.
A public hearing was called
Sept. 4 on assessing the cost of
a 12-inch lateral water main on
Woodstock st. from West Second
to Haven sts. City Manager Rob
ert Duff recommended that since
no water main has been, con
structed on Woodstock st. or an
assessment paid by the property
owners fronting the street, ad
jacent property should use the
main as a lateral and the abut
ting property be assessed. The
amount proposed to be assessed
is $2.25 per front foot.
The council adopted an ordi
nance approving the construc
tion of two water mains by Coast
Construction company. The pro
jects are a 6-inch water main on
Broad st. from Jackson to Clark
sts. and an 8-inch water main
on Fir st. from Monroe st. to
Melrose aye. and on Melrose
ave. from Fir st. to Grape st.
The council also adopted or
dinances creating funds for the
projects.
An ordinance was adopted
creating a special fund of accru
ed interests from the sale ot
armory bonds totaling $40,000
in July. City Manager Duff said
interest amounted to $210.
Fire Zones
Building Inspector H. E.
Mackie discussed with the coun
cil plans for changing district
fire zones. Mackie said making
fire zoning laws too restrictive
will discourage industry from
locating in the city. He pointed
out that proposed changes would
require certain additional con
struction requirements.
Duff said existing fire zones
are not' in complete harmony
with land use zoning ordinances
adopted in 1951. The council re
ferred the proposal to the build
ing committee for study.
The council approved the pur
chase by the city of an area at
the south end of the principal
runway at the Medford airport.
To conform to Civil Aeronautics
administration requirements the
city must acquire a clear area
zone of 1,000 foot width by one
half mile long at each end of
the runway. The land was ap
praised by a Medford Realty
Board committee at $20,250.
Duff reported that the city
was unable to secure all the
necessary rights of way from
property owners for protection
work on the bank of Bear creek.
The work will be done by Army
Dallas Area Farmer
Gels Life Sentence
Dallas,' Ore. (U.R) Bayliss
Gilbert Fanning, 57, today was
sentenced to life imprisonment
for second degree murder in con
nection with the slaying of his
wife last May.
Fanning on Monday changed
his plea from innocent to guilty.
Sentence was passed by Judge
William W. Wells of Pendleton
who was assigned by the Ore
gon Supreme Court to hear the
case. The judge held that no pre
meditation was involved, ruling
out first degree murder. But he
also ruled there was no evidence
by the defense to show adequate
provocation by Fanning's wife
to cause the shooting and jus
tify a manslaughter verdict.
The shooting last May 20 oc
curred at the Fanning farm
home, V2 miles east of Ballston,
12 miles north of here.

struction of the southeast Med

any the W. C. Conrad company,
Medford.
A request was approved by
the council for Courtesy Chev
rolet, 227 East Ninth St., to-install
a 600 gallon tank in the
alley in back of their property
on South Bartlett st.
A request by Wesley and
Blanch Coffeen that sewer and
water extensions be made across
the paved section of Holly st.,
at Coffeen's expense was ap
proved. The condition was made
that no connection will be made
until a petition for annexation
to the city has been approved.
Connections will be installed but
not used until the property is
annexed.
Request Referred
A request from Ann Pearson,
119 Clark St., to obtain a blanket
peddler's license was referred
to the license department and a
request from Mrs. Alpha Calvin,
334 South Grape St., to move a
pie business from 313 Eighth st.
to her home was referred to the
planning commission.
Petitions were submitted for
the paving of Newtown st., from
Dakota ave. to Stewart ave.; in
stallation of an alley drain in
the alley between Palm ave. and
Pennsylvania ave. from Rose
ave. to Summit ave.; and 'the
vacation of a portion of Ruhl
Way.
Councilman Don Hansen sug
gested two amendments to city
building codes be submitted to
the building committee. The
amendments are to establish
zones ordering all new commer
cial buildings to provide off
street parking and a zoning ord
inance requiring off-street park
ing facilities in residential areas.
The council adopted an ordi
nance ordering a change of zone
for lots 10 through 15, block 11,
Laurelhurst addition, from a two
family to a limited commercial.
The planning commission recom
mended the change because the
lots should have been in limited
commercial at the time the city
was rezoned.
An ordinance was adopted
ordering the vacation of the
alley between lots 1-3, block 2,
Edwards Place addition.

of his cabin yesterday so that
Lance Cpl. Bill Potkins could
