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.

Portland Police

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

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.

on the entire time and only
stuck his face through the nar
row opening.
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

Sanitary Service company call
ing for higher rates and city

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."
