o G o O o o O FOURTEEK MEDFOFD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, Deembr 6, 1937 Study of Ordinance Relating to Fences Continued by Group A committee appointed by Mayor John Snider to study the city sign ordinance in relation to the type of fence used by new car dealers said it would con tinue its study before council ac tion Is recommended. The study started recently when Medford Motors started constructing a fence similar to other car dealers in Medford. The company was found to be violating a recently enacted amendment to the building code. The amendment makes fences constructed prior to the amejd ment legal but prohibits con struction of such a fence. In city council action last night, the council authorized Mayor Snider and City Recorder Darell Huson to use facsimile signatures. This brings the city's use of such signatures in line with the bank requirements. Assessment Ordinances Jwo assessment ordinances were adopted by the council. Ira D. Phipps recently sold two sections of land on Barnett rd. and council action was needed to transfer assessments for water mains to new property owners, according to the city attorney. Plans were adopted for street improvement on Corona ave., to Grand ave. and to Morrow rd. This is part f the development for a new elementary school in district 549C between Grand ave. and Morrow rd. Action on purchasing six po lice cars and one administration car was postponed until Dec. 19. City Manner Robert A. Duff said more tudy is necessary be fore a recommendation is made. Several beverage license re newals were Approved. Bus Loading Zone Duff reported on the bus load ing zone on South Front st. He said merchants between Seventh and Eighth sts. had been con tacted and voiced no objection- to the zone, which was established on a temporary basis. Since no complains have been received by the traffic engineer, the zone will remain until conditions justify its removal, he added. The council also approved three 30-foot driveways for a Shell Oil station planned at Second st. and Central ave. The company requested two 35-foot driveways on one side but the council felt the 30-foot drives would permit an additional park ing space needed in the area. A loading zone request was granted American Laundry on South Central ave. between Seventh and Eighth sts. The zone will take up one parking space and have a time limit of about five minutes.

U.S. Said Holding Up on Satellite To Produce Arsenal of Missiles Washington (W The United States is holding back on any big "jump into space" until it has produced f an adequate arsenal of long-range ballistic missiles. Deputy Assistant Defense Sec retary William M. Holaday said flatly this country has the "hardware" presumably bal listic missiles to launch large earth satellites any time it wanted. But the missiles director emphasized this would have to take a back seat to the stock piling of long-range missiles. Holaday told a meeting of the American Rocket Society in New York Thursday night that right now "satellites are not as military useful as a working dependable ballistic m i s s ile weapon system would be." First the Missiles "When we are assured of an adequate intermediate range velopments ballistic missile capability and an intercontinental ballistic mis sile system with the necessary support equipment and stock pile of missiles, then we intend to jump into space. "To do so beforehand would be like trying to lock the front door and to let the back door stay open," he said. The United States failed in an attempt today to fire a six-inch test satellite into a globe-circling orbit. The Soviet lAion pre sumably with the aid of ballistic missile power has sent up a 1,120-pound Sputnik. Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D Wash.) accused the Defense De partment of handing the Rus sians another propaganda vic tory by its "stupidity" in an nouncing the hour by hour fail ure Wednesday to launch the first American "moon." In other missile-satellite de- George S. Trimble, vice president of the Martin Co. which built the satellite-launching Vanguard rocket, predicted the first attempt to orbit a U.S. satellite would fail. Democratic National Chair man Paul M. Butler said the Truman administration produced all of the 11 operational missiles now in this country's arsenal. He said the "failures" in the U.S. missile program rest with Presi dent Eisenhower. Rear Adm. Hyman G. Rick over urged speedy construction of a fleet of "underwater satel lites" atom-powered subma rines capable of launching bal listic missiles while surfaced or submerged. He said the Russians have a sub fleet five time as large as this country. GERMANS SEEK AGREEMENT Bonn, Germany dpi West German authorities have sub mitted new proposals to seven NATO powers in. an attempt to conclude a status of forces agree ment which has been in negotia tion for more than two years, a foreign ministry spokesman said today. The spokesman said the proposals were givfri tft am bassadors of the United Slates, Britain, France, Canada, Bel gium, Denmark and The Nether lands. He said the proUfcsals were intended to speed conclusion of an agreement which will regu late the legal and financial posi tion of NATO troops stationed on German soil.

A vast mass of warm moist air surging upward from the Gulf area penetrated as far north as the upper Great Lakes early today, shedding warmth in its path to the Atlantic Coast. Temperatures Rise The welcome invasion caused temperatures in its direct path to go up as much as 25 degrees, and in some areas completely prevented nighttime cooling.. To the east, where only Thursday cold records had been set in the aftermath of Wednesday's snow storm, a warming trend was al ready discernible.

As of Thursday night, frigid temperatures extended from the southern states well into New England, and the mercury drop ped into the teens in parts of Pennsylvania. A new mass of cold air, how ever, crossed over the Canadian border causing 10-20 degree tem perature drops in Montana, and parts of the Dakotas, as it fol lowed a southeasterly curve. Scattered snow flurries occur red in parts of Illinois. North Dakota, and in the Rockies. Heaviest snowfall amounts were recorded at Craig, Colo., where between three and four inches fell, and about one inch fell in Salt Lake City, Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Idaho. Light rain fell early today along the Pacific Coast in Wash ington and Oregon, with more than a quarter-of-an-inch accumu lating at some points. French Leader Seeks To Head Oil Crisis Paris (IP) Premier Felix Gaillard called political leaders into another emergency confer ence today to try to stop warring socialists and conservatives from torpedoing his month-old govern ment. Gaillard, a Radical-Socialist, staved off an immediate crisis at a four-hour session Thursday night but his broad-based coali tion cabinet still was badly split over fiscal policies. The Socialists have threatened to pull their four ministers out of the government unless Gail lard reverses some of his price control measures and agrees to a substantial boost in civil ser vice salaries. Conservatives have warned that they will refuse to accept the additional taxes1 that prob ably would be needed to meet the Socialist demands. 'Strip for Action Air Officer Urges Chicago (LP An Air Force intelligence officer has urged that all dependents be shipped home from U.S. Strategic Air Command bases overseas to let Russia know "we are stripped for action." Frederick Ayer Jr., special as sistant for intelligence to the Air Force secretary, told newsmen Thursday the removal of depend ents also would eliminate the cost of such overseas facilities as schools and hospitals for air men's wives and children. Ayer labelled as a "lot of bull" Nikita Khrushchev's statement that missiles have made museum pieces of airplanes. "If Khrushchev could convince us to scrap SAC," Ayer said, "Russia would have accomplish ed half its battle." Air Force To Close Vancouver Station Vancouver, Wash. (IP) The Air Forve vehicular storage sta tion here will be closed complete ly as of Jan. 1, an official for the company which operates the station said today. Harold Backman, controller for the Tumpane Company, said the company informed some 250 employees last spring that the plant would be "phased out" by the first of next year. Employ ment at the station has been de creased steadily since 1953 when more than 700 civilians worked handling storage of Air Force ground vehicles. Poison Oak?
