Macmillan Sees Talks
With Ike as Valuable
Prime Minister
Reaches Bermuda;
Eisenhower Due
Elaborate Welcome
Ceremony Planned
Tucker s Town, Bermuda
(U.Ri British Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan said today he
was sure his top level talks with
President Eisenhower here "will
be valuable in helping to build
up the strong tradition of Anglo
American friendship upon which
the whole life of the Free World
depends."
Macmillan arrived by plane
from London this morning. Mr
Eisenhower was due this after
noon.
Looks Forward to Meeting
"I greatly look forward to the
opportunity of meeting the Pres
ident of the United States with
whom I have worked and whose
friendship I have had for many
years," Macmillan said. "We
have a great deal to get done in
a few days."
Wet, windy weather which
had covered this semi - tropical
vacation region for the past few
days turned clear and fine early
this morning, with cloudless
skies and balmy temperatures.
The poor weather earlier had
threatened to wash out elabo
r a t e welcoming ceremonies
planned for Macmillan's arrival.
It led British Colonial Secretary
J. W. Sykes to make alternate
plans for receiving Macmillan
and Mr. Eisenhower on their ar
rival here for talks aimed atj
firming up the strained Anglo-
American alliance.
The President was scheduled
to arrive in Bermuda waters
aboard the USS Canberra, a
guided missile ship on which he
has been taking a sunshine
cruise for his health.
His physician, Maj. Gen. How
ard Mc. Snyder, told newsmen
aboard the Canberra Tuesday
the trip has helped the Presi
dent throw off many effects of
his lingering winter cold but
that he still has a cough, al
though it is diminishing daily.
The meeting, designed to heal
the bruises received by the Anglo-American
alliance following
as a result of the Anglo-French
invasion of Egypt last fall, starts
Thursday morning at the plush
Mi-Ocean club.
Britain on Initiative
It is expected to end Saturday
evening. An official communi
que probably will be issued Sat
urday night or Sunday morning
There weje signs that Britain
intends to take the initiative in
the talks generally and to mount
a diplomatic drive to establish
joint Anglo-American long-term
policies on all major world is
sues. Britain will make a strong bid
to align the Eisenhower Doctrine
fcr the Middle East as closely as
O possible with the Baghdad Pact.
Macmillan also will seek to line
up the two nations in common
policies on the Soviet Union, the
United Nations, NATO and Red
China.

Contract Extended
With California
Consultant Firm
The Medford city council last !
night extended the contract of i
Hahn. Wise and Associates, plan-ision
ning consultants of Redwood
City, Calif., to one month, which
includes services rendered by
the planning firm for March.
The Medford planning com
mission recommended to the
council earlier this month the
city renew its contract with the
firm witiiin the limits of the
firm's budget appropriation. One
month's service from the plan
ning firm costs about $324.64, it
was reported.
A suggestion of Councilman
Stanley Jones that the council
review benefits the city has re
ceived from the planning firm
before another six-month con
tract is signed with the firm was
approved.
Motion Approved
The council approved a motion
of Councilman Don Hansen that
services of the firm be suspended
during April, May and June for
budgetary reasons and to permit
further council study of the
firm's services. The motion stip
ulated that the planning com
mission consider the matter be
fore the council takes final ac
tion in suspending the firm's
services.
City Manager Robert Duff said
services of the consulting firm
are necessary at this time be- j
wuse ox zoning ana umer prob
lems facing the city as a result
of annexations and growth.
Hobart (Art) Pritchard, the
firm's consultant, has been meet
ing with city officials and the
planning commission two days
a month for the past six months.
He also spends one day a month
on Medford planning problems
while away from Medford.
The planning consultant firm
also has been retained by the
Jackson county planning com
mission. Couniy Court Says
Dead Dogs Buried
The Jackson county court said
today that dead dogs left on
property about two miles south
of Jacksonville had been buried.
The carcasses of the dogs had
been dumped there several
weeks ago, ,the county court
said. It is not known who buried
the animals.
The court said previously that
dumping of rubbish, animals or
anything of that type along any
public road is against the law.
The violation is punishable by a
fine of $100 and imprisonment
of 30 days in the county jail.
One Coming Home"
Medford city council represent
ing groups of Berrydale residents
opposing annexatior to Medford
"as its boundaries now are pro
posed." As a result the council
will continue its study of the
proposal.
A. E. Piazza, Medford attorney,
said he represented Berrydale
residents in a section bounded
by McAndrews rd. on the south,
Riverside avc. on the west. Bid
die rd. on the east, and Crater
Lake highway on the north. The
district was excluded from the
proposed annexation area re-
vised by the planning commis-
earlier this month.
Commission Recommended
The commission last week rec
ommended that an election be
called in the Berrydale area on
annexation.
"If the proposed Berrydale
area is annexed." Piazza said,
residents he represented would
be surrounded by incorporated
Medford land. This would permit
the city of Medford to annex that
portion of Berrydale without
consent of the area's voters, he
said.
Piazza cited a recent decision
by the Oregon Supreme Court in
the Thurbcr vs. McMinnville
case where it pointed out cities
do not have authority to extend
their boundaries without consent
of the residents being annexed.
Piazza said annexation of the
Berrydale area would do "in
directly" what could not have
been done if the excluded por
tion had been left in the "annexa
tion proposal. He suggested City
Attorney E. R. Bashaw study
the legal implications of the pro
posed annexation.
Alloted Time
Since the Berrydale annexa
tion proposal was only consid
ered by the council last night
because of the large number of
Berrydale residents attending,
Mayor John Snider allotted Pi
azza and two other. speakers for
and against the proposal five
minutes in which to present their
cases.
Mayor Snider indicated, be
cause of new information provide
ed the council by Piazza, the an
nexatidn proposal would be re
ferred to the council health com
mittee for further study. The
health committee constitutes all
members of the council.
James Redden, another attor
ney, represented several Berry
dale residents living on Merri
man rd., who oppose annexation.
He stated the only reason the
proposed annexation area was
revised was to eliminate portions
of the area which are against
annexation so a "yes-v o t e"
would be assured.
Sanitation Facilities
He said it would be one or two
years before the city could pro
v i d e sanitation facilities for
Berrydale and suggested if the
area was not annexed "the state
could order it cleaned."
City Manager Robert Duff said
after the meeting that sanitation
facilities probably could be pro-
viaea me area in about a year.
Nick Gier, chairman of the
Berrydale Sanitation committee
and a proponent of the annexa
tion proposal, tolri the council
the sanitation situation in Berry
dale has been bad for the past
eight years. At this point, he
said, "what we are fighting is
delay."
Gier added that the Berrydale
area "has to be cleaned up, and
it can enly be done through
annexation."

Women's Groups
Rally To Support
State Institution
Warden's Budget
Includes Building
Salem (U.R) Women's or
ganizations rallied to support a
$1 million state women's insti
tution separate from the state
prison at a hearing before the
House Health and Welfare com
mittee here last night.
Warden Clarence T. Gladden
of Oregon state penitentiary said
he included $750,000 in his budg
et for a women's building on
prison grounds for reasons of ec
onomy. Could Share Facilities
Gladden pointed out that he
felt the women's' - facility was
needed now and that it could
share heat, light, power and
sewage facilities if it were lo
cated near the men's prison.'
Claire Argo, executive secre
tary of the Oregon Prison asso
ciation, said most women's or
ganizations were willing to
build near some state institution
to share some facilities but did
not want it to be near the men's
prison.
Gladden said present women's
facilities at the prison were com
pletely inadequate. He said wo
men were forced to sleep four
to six to a room in cramped
quarters of the second and third
floors of the prison administra
tion building.
The women's building contem
plated for the prison would
house about 65 women while the
separate institution advocated by
women's groups would house
about 100 inmates and also
would take women sentenced to
more than 90 days in the coun
ty jails.
Col. William Ryan, state co
ordinator of institutions, told
the committee that he felt the
$1 million provided for in House
bill 507 to build the separate
facility was "entirely inade
quate." Medium Security Institution
Rep. Grace Peck. Portland,
chairman of the committee and
sponsor of the women's institu
tion bill, said she envisioned a
medium security institution,
perhaps of cottage type construc
tion, with emphasis on rehabili
tation. She said she felt it might
be built for between $1 million
and $1,500,000.
At present 27 women are
housed in the women's section
of the state prison. Mrs. Argo
said that in 1956 some 64 wom
en were sentenced to three
months or more in county jails
and that they could be taken
care of in the new institution.
Application lor
Hearing Approved
A resolution to file an appli
cation for a Public Utilities com
mission hearing to acquire a
right-of-way for a railroad cross
ing at Eighth st. was approved
last night by the Medford city
council.
The crossing is one phase of
the $1,656,100 arterial street im
provement program approved
by Medford voters last Novem
ber. Eventually, Eighth st. will
form a one-way couplet with
Main st., from a junction in the
Hawthorne park area west to
ward the city limits.
Proceeding through the pub
lic utilities commissioners of
fice is a procedural phase for a
grade crossing right of way at
Eighth st., according to City
Manager Robert Duff.
"If the development of Eighth
st. as an arterial street is to be
undertaken this year," Duff said
"the necessary legal require
ments and acquisition of rights
of way must be undertaken with
in a very short period."
The Eighth st. project has a
high priority in the overall 10
year street program, the city
manager said.

Fe d e ra I Ai
A resolution that Medford pro
vide $9,700 to finance the city's

program for planning municipal
improvements was approved last
night by the city council.
An application requesting par
ticipation in the federal urban

research at the University of
Oregon.
. Under the program, which is
available to cities with popula
tions less than 25,000, the fed
eral government matches city
funds to carry out city improve
ment planning. One-fourth of
the city's participation may be
in service, it was explained.
Total Cost '
Total cost of the planning pro
gram would be about $17,150,
about half to be financed by fed
eral funds.
City Manager Robert Duff
said the $9,700 is the estimated

city cost for obtaining a land
use program, zoning ordinance,
housing renumbering program,
park and recreation program
and services of a full-time tech
nician who would work with
the city administration.
The progranv would have to
be completed in one year for the
city to be eligible for federal
funds, Duff explained.
The program would include a
land use survey, which would
be recorded on a property lines
map. Distribution of population
as well as a projection of future
population distribution also
would be recorded on the map.
Field work, printing and simi
lar work also would be needed,
city officials said.
Preparation of Maps -
The zoning ordinance would
involve preparation of maps,
printing, hearings and meetings.
The house renumbering pro
gram would necessitate survey
and analysis of the existing pro
gram and setting up a new sys
tem which would facilitate num
bering changes, according to
Duff.
The program would not in
volve renumbering of every
house in Medford but would pro
vide for house renumbering in
areas where confusion exists,
Duff said.

Hammarskjold
Flying To Cairo
To Discuss Suez
War-Proof Buffer
Zone Possibility
By UNITED PRESS
United Nations Secretary-Gen
eral Dag Hammarskjold was fly
ing today to the Middle East in
hopes of ending what he called
the long, drawn-out situation of
crisis.
He arrives in Cairo Thursday
for talks with President Gamal
Abdel Nasser on thi future of
the Suez Canal and the possibil
ity of establishing a war-proof
buffer zone between Israel and
Egypt.
He may go on to Jerusalem
for talks with Premier David
Ben-Gurion, but his immediate
tasks was talks with Nasser in
his move to allay the atmosphere
of fear and distrust that has the
Middle East close to war.
Situation Still Tense
Though the situation was still
tense, recent conciliatory state
ments by Egypt eased the imme
diate threat, including one that
Egypt would not fire on Israeli
ships using the Gulf of Aqaba.
The Israeli-chartered freighter
Pandora, formerly the Queen of
Sheba, was reported to have left
the port of Eilat early today for
run through the Gulf of Aqaba
en route to Massawa, Eritrea
It was to pass the crucial
Straits of Tiran sometime to
night, but no trouble was
peeled.
In Suez, the Egyptian Suez Ca
nal Authority announced today
the waterway is now open to
2,000-ton ships. It opened it
Tuesday to 1,000-ton vessels.
Basis for Agreement
UN sources in Cairo predicted
Hammarskjold would have dif
ficulty in setting up any buffer
zone because of Israeli reluc
tance to station UNEF troops on
jits territory. Israel also was said
to feel that the UNEF would not
be able to stop Arab infiltrators,
but could halt Israeli forces bent
on revenge.
Ben-Gurion, in statements to
villagers in border settlements
near the Gaza Strip, told them
Tuesday he believed there would
j not be a recurrence of major Fe
dayeen attacks such as touched
oil me israeii invasion 01 last
October.

Boss of Teamsters
To Bring Personal
Financial Records
No Advance Look
Due for Committee
Washington (U.R) The
Senate Rackets Committee to-,
day called Teamsters President
Dave Beck to testify next Tues
day. Beck had announced he
would testify "voluntarily" and
bring personal financial records
sought by the committee.
The committee had given Beck
until noon today to decide
whether to submit records of
his personal finances. Before
the deadline, Beck sent a tele
gram from Seattle saying he
would appear at the committee's
convenience and bring the
records along.
Committee Chairman John L.
McClellan (D-Ark.) sent Beck a
reply telling him to appear Tues
day and produce "all your per
sonal financial books and
records."
Beck's telegram, addressed to
McClellan, had made it plain he
did not intend voluntarily to
give the investigators a look at
his record in advance of his ap
pearance. Mar Duck Questions
Beck also said that his appear
ance would be "without preju
dice to my rights under the Con
stitution and Bill of Rights."
The Fifth Amendment protecting
against self incrimination is a
key part of the Bill of Rights.
That seemed to hold the hint
that he might refuse to disclose
some data on grounds of pos
sible self incrimination.
McClellan's telegram advisee!
Beck that the committee "re
quires" that he appear next
Tuesday. It said he is to produt
the records "then and there."
"Please confirm by wire
promptly that you will comply,"
McClellan said.
Puzzled By Telegram
McClellan said he was puzzlei
by Beck's language that he
would bring the requested re
cords "without prejudice" to hia
constitutional rights.
The chairman said it wasn't
clear to him whether Beck in
tended to make the records
available to the staff or merely
have them here physically.
McClellan said he hoped Beck
meant he would make them
available for checking by the
committee and its staff. But the
chairman said only Beck could
clarify the matter.
Earlier, the committee re
vealed that West Coast teamsters
boss Frank W. Brewster got a
$5,000 year salary from his
union's insurance broker and a
540,000 profit from a racing
stable they operated.
