SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, July 9. I9S7 Planners Recommend Adopting Ordinance For New Subdivisions Jurv Nearlv Chosen American Bar Head , Seg regat jon Trial The Medford planning commis lion last night recommended to the city council that the pro posed new subdivision ordinance be adopted. The action came after a pub lic hearing at which one man jpoke in opposition to the pro posed ordinance. Basis for his ob jection appeared largely to be the amount of authority placed upon the city engineer. The ordinance provides that the engineer will examine final subdivision maps to determine whether or not the subdivider has conformed with regulations. The engineer must determine that all regulations are observed before the final map is returned for approval by the planning commission. Chang F.commend.d Also recommended to the council was a change of zone from single family to limited commercial for property at the corner of Spring st. and Crater Lake ave. The property is owned and it has been reported that Associated Oil company desires to build a service station there. A hearing will be held at the commission's next regular meet ing, Monday, Aug. 12, on rezon ing from single family to lim ited commercial other property owned by Wakefield on Crater Lake ave. from Stevens st. to Buckshot Hill rd. Recommended to the council was a change of set-back for Al vin C. Lucas. 317 West Clark st., to permit him to build a garage on his property line. Tentative Approval A tentative plat of Broadlands subdivision submitted by Don ald E. Herried was given ap proval by the commission. The property consists of 35 acres, of which five acres would be de veloped immediately. It is lo cated at the southwest corner of Sunset drive and South Stage rd., facing Sunset drive. The commission called an ad journed meeting for 7:30 p.m. Monday, July 22, to hold a public Portland Police Capture Escapees Portland 0P Three escapees from the King county jail In Seattle were captured her late Monday night in a bullet-punctuated chase which carried past the main police station. CaDtured were Gerald Elkins, 21. Enumclaw: Robert B. Mox- lev.36. Seattle, and Jack Fother gill, 18, Vancouver, Wash. They had' escaped from the Seattle jail yesterday after hacksawing a window bar. Policeman Mauris Greenstein and Robert Svilar saw a car making an improper left turn at the intersection of Third and Burnside about 10:12 p.m. In their efforts to halt it they chased the car back and forth on downtown streets. At least three times the pur suit went by the mam police station and fellow officers came outside to join in the chase. One officer fired at the fleeing car each time it came by him. One bullet landed in the door and two in tires. Tha car finally was halted as other oars blocked the street and the tires went flat. The three escapees, who were not armed, ran but police nabbed them. Police said the three men were in the Seattle jail await ing transfer to the state prison in Walla Walla. Cape Cod Canal Blocked by Freighter Buzzards Bay, Mass. HP) Army engineers were to make another attempt today to free the 8,300-ton freighter American Packer which ran aground in the Cape Cod Canal, blocking the waterway to all heavy shipping. The 438-foot ship was pulled free from a shoal at the western entrance to the canal Monday night but went out of control and lurched onto another shal low a short distance away. Coast Guard officials said the ship and its crew of 50 men were in no immediate danger. However, the canal bottleneck has forced officials to re-route all heavy shipping around the cape. About 50 ships pass through the canal daily. , hearing on a request for variance to permit construction of a build ing in which cement grave liners would be manufactured at Sis kiyou Memorial park. Attorney Manville Heisel ap peared before the commission on behalf of the cemetery asso ciation. He requested that pro vision be made to permit the as sociation to remodel, expand and construct whatever buildings are necessary for operation of the park without the association having to file individual applica tions. The commission indicated it would examine possibilites of establshing a special cemetery zone. However, no action on the zone issue was taken last night. Siskiyou Memorial park is in a single family zone. Appointed Secretary Mrs. Dorothy Snedden, who has been recording proceedings at planning commission meetings recently, was appointed perma nent secretary of the group at last night's meeting. The commission authorized the writing of a letter to Ascension Lutheran church in regard to a request from the church for ex tension of Black Oak drive from Barnett rd. to Walden place. Church representatives said they would dedicate their portion of Black Oak drive for the exten sion. The church will be advised to obtain dedication agreements from other property owners there and resubmit the request. An application for vacation of i alley between Holly and Grape sts. near 13th st. was de nied by the commission. It was pointed out that a similar request regarding that alley was denied by the commission about two years ago. Defends Supreme Court's Decisions Washington TO David Max well, president of the American Bar Association, has stoutly de fended the Supreme Court de spite recent decisions which have prompted bitter attacks against the high tribunal. He said over the ABC tele vision program, "Press Confer ence," Monday night that the court "represents the keystone of the government." "And while, of .course, that doesn't mean the decisions are sacrosanct and that we cannot criticize them, nevertheless I think that criticism ought to be tempered and constructive and not abusive or vituperative," Maxwell said. Sees Fair Play He called the court's decision in the Jencks case which opens FBI files to defense at torneys in certain criminal cases a ruling "in the spirit of fair play." The lawyer added that he is "satisfied with the integrity of every member of the Supreme Court" now and said the tribunal may even have some great jus tices on it. He did not mention any nar-'es. While he generally defended the court, Maxwell said he him self had trouble understanding one recent Supreme Court ruling a decision freeing a group of Californians who had been con victed of conspiring to advocate the violent overthrow of the government. The court said there must be an act to incite some one to overthrow the govern ment before such a conviction can stand. "Frankly, I cannot understand the distinction between advocat ing and inciting to action . . . " Maxwell said. "I don't think the man on the street would be able to appreciate the distinction on that and I certainly can't." Accused Spy Claims Political Asylum Granted by France Paris (IP) George Zlatovski, 47, former U.S. Army intelli gence officer, said today the French government had granted him and his wife political asylum from American charges they had spied for Russia. But a spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry said, "I know nothing about that." Zlatovski and his wife, Jane Foster Zlatovski, 45, were in dicted Monday in New York by a federal grand jury on espio nage charges. They would have to be extradited to the U.S. for trial. Zlatovski spoke to reporters in his apartment at 32 Rue Mazarine, deep in the heart of the Left Bank Bohemian section in Paris. Keeps Door Closed He said he could make no statement about the espionage charges against him because he and his wife had been given political asylum in France and he did not want to say anything that would "embarrass" the French government He spoke to reporters for about a minute but he never opened his door more than a Sailors Drown; ' Autopsies Slated Monterey, Calif. IW Autop ties were scheduled today on the bodies ot two sailors who jumped to their deaths from the heavy cruiser USS St. Paul, ap parently in an attempt to desert. The Navy witheld the names of the sailors until their next of kin were notified. The incident took place Monday as the St. Paul sailed from Monterey at dawn for San Pedro. Other sailors said the two men tossed a powder can full of civil ian clothes into the water short ly after the St. Paul weighed anchor. Wearing life jackets and dungarees, the two men then dived in after the can and head ed for Point Pinos, about a mile and a half away. The fishing boat, "Two Broth ers," found the body of one sai lor about a mile off Point Pinos lighthouse. A Coast Guard cut ter found the second body about a half-hour later. It was not immediately learned whether the sailors drowned or whether they died of exposure in the frigid water. Make A Blind Date With Us To WASH YOUR BLINDS! We Take Dawn and Rehang! B.B.B.

The Slatovskis were indicted by the same grand jury which indicted Jack and Myra Soble and Jacob Albam last January in New York for conspiring to obtain U.S. defense data for Russia. The Sobles and Albam plead ed guilty and now are awaiting sentence. Soviet Conspiracy The 38-count espionage Indict ment charged that since 1940 the Zlatovskis had conspired with Soviet agents in the New York, Washington, Paris, and in Aus tria and Switzerland to obtain defense information for the So viet Union. The Zlatovskis, the govern ment charged, worked individu ally and as a team in collecting and supplying the Soviet Union with American defense data, Much of this information, the indictment alleged, was chan neled through Soble. Of 16 Tennesseans Knoxville, Tenn. (W Attor neys were expected to complete a jury today to try John Kasper and 15 other segregationalists in a proceeding that could set a pattern for federal segregation cases. The opening day of the trial Monday was painfully slow with only 11 prospective juriors from a panel of 66 questioned and only four seated. Three Lines of Questioning The prospective jurors faced three lines of questioning, from the government and the defense as well as a second line of de fense, Kasper's lawyer, Benja min Simmons. While attorneys for the. 15 Tennesseeans facing trial with Kasper have shunned any direct connection with the Yankee seg regationist, they were not hesi tant to use his name to avoid seating a Negro prospective juror. All 16 defendants are being tried jointly for criminal con tempt of U.S. District Judge Robert Love Taylor's injunction not to interfere with integration of the Clinton, Tenn., High school. At one point in Monday's pro ceedings, a Negro prospective juror was called after a bank cashier, a former peace justice, Vitnesses Called In Sprague Trial Portland OPI The state call ed its witnesses today in an at tempt to convict Portland Police man Robert W. Sprague of a charge of false swearing. A jury of eight women and four men was sworn in Monday and opening statements of coun sel and the first state witnesses were heard before Circuit Judge Martin Hawkins. The state indicated it would try to prove that Sprague made payoffs to Patrolman Jack F. Olsen and then denied it before a grand jury on June 26, 1957. It was apparent from opening statements of the defense it would strike a comparison be tween the characters of Sprague and of his accuser, Olsen. Defense Attorney Fred Jen sen asserted that Sprague had a reputation for honesty and truthfulness in his 17 years on the police force. He claimed that Olsen, on the other hand, con sorted with undersirable char acters. Salem Garbage Contract Calls for Rate Boost Salem IIP) Salem city coun cil has awarded a new 10-year garbage collection contract to Sanitary Service company call ing for higher rates and city fees. The council decided Monday night that new fees for residen tial collection would be $1.25 instead of SI. 15.

Judge Taylor held that the Negro, Albert Cloud, was a com petent juror and prosecutor John C. Crawford Jr., accepted him for the government. Obtained Admission Then Robert L. Dobbs, chief of the dozen "anti-Kasper" de fense workers went to work on the slender, soft-spoken Negro. He got Cloud to admit he felt "unkindly" toward Kasper for "going down there and stirring things up" at Clinton after the court had ruled Clinton High must be integrated. I think I can keep up," Cloud said. But when Dobbs rephrased his query about his feeling on Kasper, the Negro admitted he could not put the other "de fendants in a sack and shake them up" with Kasper and come out with the same feeling for all. "All right," said Judge Tay lor, "I'll excuse you." Bond Redemptions Outnumber Sales Washington HPi The Treas ury redeemed more U.S. savings bonds than it sold during the first half of 1957.
