i t Thursday, August 29, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TKXES Parking Forbidden In Local Alleys Without A Permit Drivers and owners of delivery and service vehicles aft remind ed of the city ordinance regard ing alley parking in the down town area. Chief o'f Police Charles Champlin said today. Service vehicles may be park ed in an alley only if the owner has a permit issued by the city police department, Champlin said. He added that the permit, issued without charge, must be displayed on the exterior of the service vehicle. An additional notice must be displayed be tween the windshiid wipa: blade and the windshield desig nating where the services are being performed by the vehicle operator. Service vehicles, the chief ex plained, are any motorized ve hicle designed for the purpose of carrying materials, tools, equipment, or machinery. These vehicles may park in the alley only as long as is actually re quired for performing plumbing, electrical service or the mainte nance of the public utility. Delivery vehicles, he added, are those ovehicles used in the course of business for the pur pose of delivering freight or merchandise. They may be park ed in an alley for loading or un loading and only for the period of time actually required for that purpose. The delivery and service ve hicles may park only in one-way alleys and as close to the right side of the alley as possible, Champlin said, unless posted signs designate otherwise. The chief added that it is un lawful for anly person to use an alley parking permit not is sued to him or for a permit to be used on any vehicle other than a service vehicle. An em ployee of the person to whom the permit, was issued, however, may use the permit within the scope of his employment.

Price has been invited to ride in a T-33 jet plane which will take off from Hamilton Air Force base near San Francisco, Calif. The "invasion" will be a test of the radar network. Price explained. When the intercep tor bases receive the alert fight er olanes will scramble against the "bogey." The men will not be informed that the plane is "fri?ndly," he said. The ride has been arranged through the Ground Observer Corps and civil defense agencies and Air Force. The tape record ing is tentatively scheduled for local broadcast some time next week. The National Broadcast ing company radio program "Monitor," will use a part of the t3pe m it's nation-wide hook up. Purpose of the locally instig ated program is to obtain more volunteers for the slim list of Ground Observer Corps personnel. It is estimated that 330 planes of the 1,000 which fly over Medford during a given period are not reported due to lack of sky watchers, Price said. The local skywatchers need ap proximately 500 volunteers to cut down on the long hours spent by the 260 trained and active personnel now functioning." "National standards specify one to twtf-hour shifts per vol unteer a week," Price comment ed. "Local volunteers are run ning far over that." American Youth Said Expelled from China London (W Peiping Ra dio indicated today it is expell ing, or has expelled, an Ameri can youth . delegate because he refused to surrender his U. S passport to Red customs offic ials. A Peiping broadcast monitor ed in London said that 41 of 42 Americans now visiting in Communist China had left on a tour of the northeast. Wednesday night, cabled re ports from Peiping said that it .ppeared certain that Shelby Tucker. Pass Christian, Miss., would be ordered to leave China unless he showed his pass port to Chinese authorities as the other 41 Americans had done. The- fact that only 41 of the 42 Americans were cited as having left Peiping on the or ganized tour today indicated that Tucker had remained be hind or was already en route to Moscow. Chinese authorities Wednes day warned Tucker that , unless he showed his passport to cus toms officials he faced deporta tion to Moscow. Navy Aviator Lands Crippled Jel Plane Boise (IPI A Navy aviator landed his crippled jet training plane at Gowen IJield Wednes day just as the aircraft's en gine "flamed out" from lack of fuel. Lt. Cmdr. M. J. Harriman, Memphis, Tenn., said the fuel system of the plane failed and would riot get fuel to the engine although he still had about 500 gallons in the tanks. Harriman was on a flight from Seattle to Boise, and developed the trouble as he made his ap proach toward Boise. He was coached on the most direct route to the runway by the control tower at Gowen Field.
