ions on location of a proposed
Highway 99 freeway from
Blackwell hill to Ashland at a
hearing in the courthouse audi
torium Thursday, Oct. 25.
State highway commission rep
resentatives will present data on
the West Medford or West Side
line, and three other proposed

quest for consolidation.
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.

Egypt Is Pressing
For Suez Solution
To Keep Control
Dag Hammarskjold Has
Secret Talks With Menon
United Nations, N.Y. (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.

Ike Hits Stevenson
For Charge 'Little
Fellow' Neglected
President Tells 15,000
Demos Twisted Facts
Pittsburgh (U.R) President
Eisenhower charged Adlai E.
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.

"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.

"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.
