EdwSfrds spoke briefly describ

why the highway commission se-
locd the Hawthorne park

ers proposed those parallel
to Gennessee west of the
city, east of the city, and in
the foothills to the east.
Cost and engineering consid
erations eliminated the foot
hills route, he said, and higher
costs worked against the west
side route. The other thjee pro
posals were rtfughly equal in
cost, length, and servicability to
through traffic, so the final de
cision vs j-Jjased on service to
local traffic, and on relative
disruption to the economy of
the area. Edwards stated.
He said the decision was
made sfler a detailed survey of
four oL the routes and a rec

involvingon all aHoit 125 miles.

would lower property values,
and in the latter case cited ex

Edwards said that exhaustive

would be to work cooperatively
with the city, to draw up de
tailed plans, and then to formu
late a specific agreement with
the city regarding the matters
which must be settled.
No Timetable
The construction engineer did
not wish to be committed as to
any timetable for construction,
but said that it is not pro
grammed for construction during
the next two years. He indicated
it might well be in the next pro
gramming period after that, al
though preliminary discussions
might begin earlier. Some 90 per
cent of the cost will be paid by
the federal government.
Councilmen present at the
meeting gave no indication as to
their attitude' toward the plan,
but did ask if the highway de
partment had ever experienced
outright disagreement on the
part of cities involved in con
struction. Edwards said that, to
his knowledge, disputes had al
ways been worked out to the sat
isfaction of both cities and his
department.
Much of the meeting was de

of the route and of the design of
the planned overpass structure.

Student Increase
Elementary Schools,
HS Addition Included
The Medford school plans to
submit to school district voters
this spring a -Sl,200,000 school
bond issue to finance construc
tion of two new elementary
schools and a major addition to
Medford High school.
Frank Bash, member of the
school board, and Leonard May
field, Medford school superin
tendent, revealed plans for the
proposed projects yesterday at
the noon luncheon of the Jack
son County Chamber of Com
merce Roundtable at the Jack
son hotel.
The school board may take
action on the matter at its meet
ing next week.
Student Population
Mayfield said the 1956 school
census taken last October in
dicated the present student pop
ulation in Medford is what
school officials two years ago
anticipated it would be in 1960,
The census disclosed an un
predictable increase in school
age population, due to immigra
tion, accured during the past two
years, according to Mayfield.
Bash estimated cost of the
two elementary schools at $800,
000, with each building provid
ing service facilities for about
500 students, and classroom
space for about 350 each. Plans
will enable the structures to
expand up to 500, according to
future enrollment needs. ,
Proposed sites, already ob
tained, for the two elementary
buildings, are at Siskiyou blvd.
and Modoc ave. in southeast
Medford and at Corona and
Grand aves.
High- School Addition
Cost of the addition to Med
ford High school is estimated
at $400,000, Bash said. The ad
dition is intended to provide
space for an anticipated 1,200
students by the 58-59 school
year, some 220 more than now
enrolled.
The addition will be construct
ed as an extension-on -the-pres-
ent high school, or as a saparate
"campus type" unit on a site
adjacent to the school machine
shop.
Mayfield pointed out the in
crease in high school enrollment
creates a greater problem than
elementary schools, because
there is only one school to ab
sorb increases.
As there are several elemen
tary schools, he added, boundar
ies can be expanded to relieve
certain over-populated areas.
The new elementary plants are
expected to relieve Jefferson
and Lincoln schools of two class
rooms of students each, and Hed
rick Junior High school of 300
fifth and sixth graders now at
the annex there.'
The school superintendent
said total student enrollment in
Medford now is 5,362, filling
city schools to capacity. He esti
mated the student increase by
the 1958-59 school year as about
5,931, not including immigration
increases.
Including immigration, Med
ford schools will be providing
for about 931 students more
than it has facilities for by 1958,
unless the proposed school addi
tions are approved by Medford
voters.
Inconvenience
According to Mayfield. con
struction of the additional
schools could be delayed one
year if necessary. However, he
added, that would entail adjust
ing school attendance boundar
ies, using sub-standard class
rooms, double shifts of classes
and other unnecessary incon
veniences. Mayfield pointed out the 1953
59 school year is expected to be
a crucial one. He said enroll
ment is expected to climb to 575
students more than capacity,
and could go as high as 931 with
tentative immigration increases
included. Next year (1957-58)
Medford schools are expected to
accommodate about 219 students
more than rated capacity.
Breaking down school needs
into grade levels, Mayfield said
population of city elementary
schools now is at its capacity of
3,036 students and will increase
to at least 3,339 by 1961-62. .
Junior High
The junior high school popula
tion is now 1,348 pupils and is
anticipated to increase to 1,379
by the 1958-59 school year. If
the proposed elementary plants
are constructed, Mayfield said,
Hedrick will gain enough space
from its former elementary
population to absorb expected
junior high school enrollment in
creases for a few years.
Attendance at Medford High
school is 978 and has a present
capacity of 1.000. Mayfield said
the site and facilities there will
permit a maximum capacity of
about 2,000 students. The need
for a new high school will arise
sometime in the next eight to
12 years, he said.
Mayfield emphasized that the

MEDFORD,
Israel Compliance
With UN Resolution
Expected by Dulles
Secretary Defends
Mid-East Policies
Washington (U.R) Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles said
today he has good grounds to
hope Israel will comply with a
u.N. resolution calling for
speedy withdrawal from , the
Gaza Strip and the Gulf of
Aqaba.
At his first news conference
since Dec. 18, Dulles said the
United States is not thinking of
supporting sanctions against Is
rael. He said this government
now is thinking only that Israel
will comply with the TJ.N. resolu
tion approved overwhelmingly
last week end.
Dunes was asked by a re
porter whether the United States
would "go to the protection of
Israel' in the event of aggres
sion even if this meant risking
war with the Soviet Union.
Without mentioning Israel di-
rently, Dulles replied that the
overall American policy is not
to be deterred by fear of what
the Soviet Union might do in
any particular case.
Dulles said the United States
has repeatedly faced up to situa
tions involving Soviet threats.
He said this is the proper course
to pursue.
Plans lo Keep Job
At is 40-minute news confer
ence, Dulles also:
1. Said he has no plans now
to resign or retire as secretary'
of state. He defended the ad
ministration's policies in the
Middle East as honorable and
predicted history would justify
this estimate.. He said it was
heartwarming to hear President
Eisenhower refer" to' him' asr a
man of unparalleled wisdom
and knowledge.
2. There has been no discus
sion of a Big Three summit
meeting of Mr. Eisenhower,
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan, and .French Premier
Guy Mollet. But it would be
normal for Mr. Eisenhower to
meet separately with the British
and French leaders in due course.
enrollment increases in city
schools were not due to the re
cent school consolidations. Only
increases from consolidations
will be an additional 62 seventh
and eighth graders from West
Side and Oak Grove schools that
will attend Hedrick, he said.
Increase in Taxes
Bash said increase in Medford
school district taxes would total
only about one mill, plus possible
unexpected operating expenses.
Reason for the small increase is
because of the continuing amor
tization of current Medlord
school district bonded indebted
ness, he said. This would bring
the total millage rate of the
school district to not much more
than 44.7, he said.
Financially, according to Bash,
Medford is in excellent position
to construct the proposed school
buildings. He said the school
board hopes to have construction
under way by next fall.
The $1,200,000 estimated cost
of the buildings cover furnish
ings and equipment but not per
sonnel, Bash said. He added
there is no chance of Medford
getting federal or state aid for
the school projects because the
district does not qualify as a
distressed area.
' To qualify as a distressed area
Medford's millage rate would
have to be much higher and the
school district would have to be
bonded to capacity, Bash said.
Bonding Limit
Bonding limit of the Medford
school district is $5,696,923, of
which $2,230,750 is absorbed in
present bond debt, according to
Bash. The district has left ap
proximately 60 per cent of its
bonding capacity.
Bash explained amortization
of present school district indebt
edness will reduce the district's
nnual debt payments from
$200,326.88 in 1957-58 to $158,-
966.88 to 1958-59.
Additional tfebt service per
year resulting from construc
tion of the schools will be about
S80,000, he said. Bash added.
with the first tentative payment
set for 1958-59, the annual debt
service of the school district
would increase to $238,966.88,
resulting in the one mill tax in
crease. Retain Architects

last week retained two Med
ford architects, Jack A. Edson
and Wayne E. Struble, to work

Berrydale Residents Favor
Annexation, Gier Declares
Public sentiment in the Berry
dale district appears to be al
most 3 to 1 in favor of annexa
tion to Medford, Nick Gier,
chairman of the Berrydale Sani
tation committee, claimed today.
He said his estimate is based
on incomplete results of a door-to-door
canvass of the Berrydale
and Elk City districts, conducted
during the past week by mem
bers of the committee. The fig
ures were reported at a meeting
of the committee last night.
Far Different
Gier pointed out that this is
far different from the vote in
which annexation was defeated
last November, and indicates
that many residents have chang
ed their minds regarding the
need for annexation. He said in
terviews with residents of the
areas disclose three main rea
sons for the change:
1. A number of persons felt it
"wasn't fair" to include as large
an area in the proposed annexa
tion as there was.
2. Others said they have come

pan and wrapped "grab bag"

Most of the punch boards were
the one-to-99-cent female name
type. The spindle poll games in
volved numbered tabs on metal
spindles. Numbers on the tabs
allegedly correspond with num
bers on cards for which prizes
are awarded, officers said.
Followup Statements
District Attorney Thomas
Reeder said confiscation of the
"pay-offs" merchandise and the
resulting arrests are a "follow-
up" of statements he and Sheriff
Gault jointly issued recently to
police chiefs in six Jackson
county cities. - The statements
called to the attention of the
police chiefs reports of gambling
devices in general, and punch
boards in particular, being op
erated in taverns.
Reeder said he has also recent
ly received reports of pinball
machines pay-offs in the county
and the reports are being in
vestigated. "If sufficient proof
is found as to the operation of
these pay-off pinball machines,
prosecutions will follow," he
said.

ied in detail the tax situation,
and have found that taking all
figures into account, including
reductions in water rates, the
total cost would not be as much
as they had thought.
Canvass Incomplete
Gier said the canvass is incom
plete, and that annexation is
much more heavily favored in
some parts of the area than in
others. Several members of the
committee, who had additional
figures, were unable to attend
last night's meeting.
Gier said committee members
are checking the possibility of
having separate annexation elec
tions called for different parts
of the district, so that residents
of smaller areas could express
their preferences.
The committee will meet

further reports, and -to continue
their work toward obtaining an
other annexation vote.

Comparisons With America
This is the second consecutive
year the Soviet Union has reduc

The projected U. S. defense
budget is $38 billion, an increase
of $2 billion. This is higher, than
Russia's when rubles' are trans
