State highway commission rep resentatives will present data on the West Medford or West Side line, and three other proposed routes. Detailed maps of all four routes, and information on cost estimates for each, have been re ceived here and are posted in the city hall and courthouse.

The board also announced that school population growth will make a new elementary school necessary in the north section of the school district by fall of 1958. Mayfield was authorized to begin preliminary planning for the new school. Mayfield, chairman of a state committee studying the basic school support formula, report ed that the committee's policy is to seek changes in the pres ent equalization formula, result ing in a higher percentage, of support for Jackson county schools. Mayfield explained that pres ent equalization funds are dis tributed on a population basis, making "the rich counties rich er, while the poorer counties get less." He pointed out that equalization aid for Jackson county has fallen from 17.13 per cent of the 1947-48 budget to 4.27 per cent in 1955-56. He said that the school sup port formula will be considered in a reeional meeting of the Oregon School Boards associa tion Oct. 16 at Jefferson school. Jackson and Josephine county school board members will at tend. Mayfield added that the directors will also consider ac tion to take on proposed legis lation which the OSBA is spon soring in the next session of the state legislature. The board accepted the resig nation of W. C. Pirkle. science teacher at McLoughlin Junior High school, and approved the hiring of two other teachers. Jack Vincent. Portland State colleqe graduate, will replace Pirkle at McLoughlin, and Miss Jane Jeldness wilj teach chem istry, English and algebra at Medford High school. The board also decided to in vite school board members from Eugene. Salem. Roseburg, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls to meet with the Medford board to dis cuss comparable school needs and problems in November. Estimates on Freeway survey.

Rain started falling about 6 p.m. yesterday and later turned into snow. A trace was on the ground today, according to park officials, and motorists were ad vised to carry chains on the rim road and the north entrance rd.

(U.R) Egypt pressed today for a nego tiated solution to the Suez dis pute "consistent with Egyptian sovereignty" over the canal, but there were no signs that Egypt or Britain and France were ready to compromise. United Nations Secretary Gen eral Dag Hammarskjold was using his own brand of quiet diplomacy in an effort to find a solution through secret talks while Indian's V. K. Krishna Menon worked behind the scenes with a yet unannounced "com promise plan." Hammerskjold conferred Tues day night with the foreign minis ters of Britain, France and Egypt and called them in for another private talk this afternoon as "the parties most directly con cerned" in the Suez dispute. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles was understood to have disqualified himself as a "direct ly concerned" party entitled to participate in the secret talks. As a result, Soviet Foreign Min ister Dmitri Shepilov was not in vited either. The Security Council itself was in recess until 3:30 p.m. Thursday to allow diplomats 48 hours in which to hold private meetings. Hammarskjold's diplo matic hand obviously was play ing a major role during the 48 hour period. Morse Slated to Arrive in Morning Sen.

He is scheduled to speak at 7:30 p.m. at the Fair, and has scheduled an address at a Dem ocratic rally in the Esquire the ater at 8:30 p.m. The latter meet ing is open to the public. Pat Graham, secretary of the Veterans Allied council, said most local candidates have indi cated they plan to attend the Candidates Fair, and several state and national office candi dates have indicated that they will be represented. Three Europeans Gunned Smashing Roadblock Algiers, Algeria (U.R) Three Europeans were machinegunned to death and another wounded today when they tried to smash their way through a rebel road block 60 miles west of Oran. The incident was the highlight of another day of sporadic but intense action in the Algerian rebellion, only 21 days short of its second anniversary. Routes Available of Phoenix.

Stevenson Tuesday night with political irresponsibility in im plying the Republican adminis tration cares nothing for the "little fellow." In a major speech to an en thusiastic crowd of 15,000 at Hunt Armory, Mr. Eisenhower declared the Democratic orators have "concealed or twisted" the facts. "Those political orators prom ise bigger government spending on every front lower taxes for every citizen all wrapped up in the bright package of a bal anced budget." the President said at a GOP rally which cli maxed a Tate afternoon and eve ning of ovations in the tradi tionally Democratic steel center. Mr. Eisenhower departed from his prepared text when he ac cused Democratic orators of a "whole series of curious state ments falsely implying" that his administration cares nothing for "the man they rather patron izingly call the little fellow." "By the way," he said, "who has the right to call any Ameri can 'the little fellow'? Doesn't the word American still mean we are all equal? "I wonder just what kind of political children they think the American people are. I also won der what kind of man they think I am." Hits Opposition Proposals Mr. Eisenhower said Steven son and his Democratic running mate, Estes Kefauver. are mak ing a "record of clattering cam paign oratory" and cited as ex amples the issues of "big busi ness" versus "small business", the draft, H-bomb tests, national defense and peace. "They say your government is indifferent to labor," he said. "They say your government is negligent in social security in different to the unemployed. "This amounts'to saying that your government has no interest in the people of America. This amounts to the charge that your government has betrayed your trust. Such talk is political ir responsibility at its worst." Replying to Stevenson's state ment that the draft might be halted in the foreseeable future and that the United States should take the lead in halting H-bomb tests, the President said he was speaking "with the greatest seriousness." "I, as your President and com mander in chief of the ' armed forces, cannot and will not make proposals contary to national in terest nor offer you attractive prospects unjustified by world realities," Mr. Eisenhower said. "I will not promise that winning a peace based on justice will be cheap and easy."

Littla Interest The highway commission pre viously indicated little interest in the proposed West Side route, .because of an earlier high cost estimates. At a planning commission hearing held in the city hall last May, protests to the Genessee line were voiced by landowners in that area. A number of homes would have to be removed if the highway were located there. Or chardists protested locating the freeway on the Hillcrest route because it would cut through several acres of farm and or chard land. Members of the planning com mission had been asked to rec ommend one of the routes to the city council. In a split vote after the hearing, the commission went on record as favoring the Genessee line, with the condition that noise reduction and safety modifications be emphasized in construction. BARRAGE OF FOUR HOMERS BRINGS SERIES VICTORY ADLAI STEVENSON Fashions New Reply Stevenson Fashions More Direct Reply To Ike's Charges Seattle U.R) Adlai E. Ste venson ripped up a speech today which was set for delivery to night in Portland, and fashioned a new and more direct reply to President Eisenhower's charge of Radio Highlights Adlai Stevenson, D m o craiic candidate for President, will speak tonight in Port land. The talk will b heard over station KMED (1440 kc) at 10:15 p.m. "political irresponsibility" on the part of the Democrats. Stevenson was scheduled lo speak in Portland tonight at 8:30 p.m. (PST). After the President, speaking in Pittsburgh Tuesday night, ac cused Stevenson nd his Demo cratic running mte, Estes Ke fauver, of conducting a campaign of "political irresponsibility," Stevenson began rewriting his speech for tonight. Person-To-Person . This new development marked Stevenson's increasing inclina tion to engage in a person-to-person political combat with the President, rather than directing his campaign artillery toward the Republicans in general. In his Seattle speech Tuesday night, Stevenson first sailed into Mr. Eisenhower on political grounds. He said the Chief Exec utive had stepped up his cam paign because his "worried Re publican managers" had told him "a part-time president is all right, but they cannot afford a part time candidate." However, he saved his major artillery for a new attack on the atomic power policies of the ad ministration. He challenged the sincerity of the administration in its "atoms for peace" program. This was the plan that Mr. Ei senhower put before the United Nations in December, 1953, right after the Big Three meeting in Bermuda. Enterprise, xOre. (U.R) Tony Staud, 16-year-old Enterprise youth, died yesterday of injuries suffered in an auto accident Mon day night. Portland (U.R) A move to make the Columbia river gorge a national monument has been launched here. "Put Down: 'Variable Winds' " Brooklyn (U.R) The New York Yankees crushed the Brooklyn Dodgers 9-0 under a barrage of four home runs today to win the World Series behind the brilliant three hit pitching of young Johnny Kucks. It was the most humiliating seventh game defeat in series com petition since 1934 when the Cardinals routed the Tigers, 11-0.- Yogi Berra touched off the Yankee bombardment with a pair of two run homers off big Don Newcombe, who failed the Dodgers again. Skowron 'Grand Slam' Scored Off Craig Elston Howard blasted another homer off Newcombe in the fourth and Bill Skowron put the icing on the Yankee victory cake with a grand slammer off Roger Craig, the third Dodger pitcher, in the seventh. Thus the Yankees won their seventh series flag in the past 10 years and gave Manager Casey 'Stengel his sixth series triumph in seven tries. Only six Dodger baiters reached base all day three on walks and three on hits all singles and only one got as far as second. The 23-year-old Kucks was in trouble only once, in the very first inning. He walked Pee Wee Reese with one out and then Duke Snider rifled a single to center, Reese stopping at second. But Kucks, whose sinker had the Dodgers hitting into the ground most of the time, served a double-play ball to Jackie Rob inson, hero of Tuesday's 1-0 Dodger triumph. That was the closest the Dodgers were to come to scoring off Kucks, who in two previ ous appearances in relief in this series had been hit hard.
