Washinrton OP! A U.S
scientist disclosed today this
country is speeding work on
a device expected to set off
controlled H-bomb reactions
at temperatures twice those
in the center of the sun.
His report was made in con
nection with release of Ameri
can and British government
reports which said recent re
search encourages hope that
the H-bomb's thermo-nuclear
forces eventually can be har
nessed for peaceful use.
The scientist. Dr. Lyman
Spitzer Jr., of Princeton uni
versity, said he expects the
device, a giant 'magnetic bot
tle." to go into operation in
early I960 and produce tem
peratures of 50 million de

Keating Ponders
Congress Office,
Merrifield Says
Jackson County Rodney
Keatfng is seriously consider
ing running for the Republi
can nomination for congress
from the Fouth District, ac-
cording to John Merrifield,
Portland, chairman of the
state Republican candidate as
sistance committee.
He was quoted in the Port
land Orcgonian as saying
Keating is one of three per
sons considering the move.
The others are State Sen. War
ren Gill, Lebanon, and former
State Sen. Paul Geddes, Rose
burg. Judge Keating, whose term
of office ends in 1960, accord
ing to a recent ruling of the
state attorney general, has
long considered the move, ac
cording to widespread rumors, j
but when questioned he has
been non-committal.
Incumbent Congressman
Incumbent congressman is
Charles O. Porter of Eugene,
a Democrat, who is not ex
pected to have opposition in
the primary election. He will
complete his first two-year
term this year. He defeated
longtime Republican Con
gressman Harris Ellsworth,
Roseburg, now chairman of
the U.S. Civil Service com
mission, at the last election.
In another political devel
opment in the county this
week. County Clerk Bereth
Hopkins today announced her
candidacy for renomination.
She is the third candidate
to formally announce their
candidacies for non-judicial
posts. Previously, Joe Walsh,
now chief -deputy sheriff, a
Republican, and Raymond R.
Koch, formerly associated
with a detective agency, a
Democrat, are seeking nomi
nations for sheriff.
Filing Deadline
Deadline for filing candida
cies is March 7, six weeks
away.
There are many rumors in
military . induction. Federal
going to run for what office,
but none is so far confirmed.
Elections this year will be
held for state senator and two
state representatives, county
commissioner, county clerk,
sheriff, coroner, two circuit
judgeships and the district
judgeship. Judge Edward C
Kelly will run for election
to the circuit judgeship he
now holds, and District Judge
rTames M. Main will seek the
Jfjiher vacancy.

Mothers Complete Plans
Against Polio
Approximately 1,200 Med
ford mothers have completed
plans to march against polio
for one hour on Thursday,
Jan. 30. It will be the annual
Mothers' March, set from 7
p.m. to 8 p.m.
Mrs. Harold Gilbert, 209
Eastwood dr., chairman, said
the entire city, including sev
eral of the surrounding rural
- areas, has been broken down
into sections with a captain
assigned to each section. Cap
tains, in turn, have assigned
mothers to cover each block
in the area during the ap
pointed hour.
The Mothers' March will be
by invitation only, Mrs. Gil
bert pointed out, with a burn
ing porch light or a candle
in the window indicating the
occupant wishes to contribute
to the fight against polio. No
calls will be made where the

The only way man can hope
to contain such reactions is
by using electrical and mag
netic fields to confine the hot
charged gases within invisible
walls. Laboratory research
devices employing such fields
are called "magnetic bottles."
Both British and American

said. "Modern machines and
bookkeeping methods have
been adapted for the election
office. Also, the clerk's office
has been reorganized into
four divisions, those of aud
itor, legal, recording and elec
tion departments. All records
from 1949 on have been mic
rofilmed for safe keeping.
Earlier records are now being
put through this process."

Need for Higher
Postage Rates
Told Committee
Washington (IP) Postmas
ter General Arthur E. Sum
merfield told Congress today
that refusal to raise out of
town letter postage to five
cents would be "unthinkable."
He said increased postal
rates, including the new five
cent stamp, is one of the most
"urgent" items in the adminis
tration's budget message to
Congress. Failure to act, he
said, could force another in
crease in the national debt.
Several congressmen have
said- they would fight the
nickel stamp proposal.
. Summerfield appealed for
support of 'the administra
tion's postal rate plans in tes
timony before the Senate Post
Office and Civil Service Com
mittee. He sought a five-cent
charge on out of town letters,
four cents on local letters and
other rate increases.
He spelled out the warning
President Eisenhower out
lined in his budget message
last week, that the post office
will run nearly $700 million
in the red and next fiscal
year unless the postage in
creases are approved. And
even with these increases
there will be a deficit if pend
ing wage raises for postal
workers are granted, the ad
ministration says.

The addition will include a
corridor and connecting pass
age to the present building.
Construction will be of rein
forced concrete with brick
veneer on concrete slab. In
terior walls will be plastered,
and acoustical and asphalt
tile will be tised on ceilings
and floors.
Architects are of the firm

Chamber Supports
Vet's Hospital at
Camp White Site
The board of directors of
the Jackson County-Chamber
of Commerce yesterday re
quested the Veterans admin
istration convert the perma
nent facilities at Camp White
into a veteran's hospital pro
viding 400 beds.
A campaign to utilize facili
ties at the Camp White site
was emphasized recently by
a committee of the Eagle
Point Grange when it heard
a veterans hospital was
planned in the northwest. Oth
er groups and veterans organ
izations have actively sup
ported the proposal for some
time.
In a letter to Sumner G.
Whittier, administrator of vet
eran's affairs, the Chamber
said it "has become vitally
interested in the development
of a veteran's hospital in con
nection with the veteran's
domiciliary at Camp White."
Waiting List
The Chamber said it had
been informed that thereis
a waiting list for admission
to veteran's hospitals in Port
land and San Francisco, a
situation probably caused by
the great increase in popula
tion along the west coast. ,
"There are, at present, per
manent buildings now stand
ing empty at Camp White,
which are equipped to accom
modate a 400-bed general
medical and surgical hos
pital," the Chamber noted. It
pointed out that there is an
850-bed domiciliary with an
administrative staff capable
of being expanded into a com
plete hospital administration.
"At the present cost of hos
pital construction," the letter
continues, "no new, up-to-date
hospital can be built at less
than $20,000 a bed. In other
words, it would require al
most' 88,000,000 to duplicate
the existing facilities at Camp
White."
Transportation Cost
The Chamber said another
factor which should be con
sidered is the cost of trans
porting veterans' from the
domiciliary Ho other centers
when they are in" need of hos
pital care. Such an expense
would be eliminated if a hos
pital were established in con
nection with the present domi
ciliary, the Chamber pointed
out.

point comparable to the start
up of the first atomic fission
reactor in Chicago, Dec. 2,
1942.
Said Strauss: "The con
trolled thermonuclear pro
gram will not interfere with
the current development and
construction of reactors to
produce electricity from nu
clear fission."

The letter continued: "Med
ford is a rapidly growing
medical center in a 10-county
area. In 1954, under the spon
sorship of the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce, Stan
ford Research Institute con
ducted . a survey of the hos
pital needs in this county.
Based upon this survey, a hew
hospital is now nearing com
pletion which will replace the
present Community hospital.
"The new hospital is a mod
ern, up-to-date 80-bed hospital
with all of the latest X-ray
equipment, surgical equip
ment, and other equipment
required for the proper care
of the sick and injured. This
hospital will be ready for oc
cupancy by May of 1958 and
was built at a cost in excess
of 82,500,000.
"Today there are 62 physi
cians and surgeons practicing
in Jackson county. More than
half of these physicians are.
certified specialists and prac
tically every field of medicine
is represented among them.
This large and skilled staff
will no doubt continue to
grow and will be in a position
to render service to the Vet
eran's hospital at Camp
White.
"Medford is in the center
of an area comprising more
than 300,000 people within
a hundred mile radius. Ore
gon is among one of the five
states of the Union whose vet
eran population is greater to
day than the original number
of enlistments in the state
from all wars. The need for
additional veterans hospital
in Oregon is clear."

demned is the old Root com
pany packing house at Eighth

under lease to Don Root.
The state highway commis

right of way through the
property, plus two 30 foot tri
angles on the east edge. This
would extend Eighth st.
across the tracks and make it
a one-way thoroughfare or
couplet connecting with Riv

Two Accesses
Two accesses will be al
lowed on either side of the
relocated Eighth st. from the
Root property, he added.
Root said the desired right-of-w
ay would go- right
through the center of the
property and require removal
of the building.
Root said he has received
a letter from an attorney rep
resenting the state highway
commission stating the com
mission' wants possession of
the building on or before Feb.
21. However, negotiations are
still under way, both parties
stated.

Transcript of
Testimony Due
To Be Studied
Washington (IP) The Sen
ate Rackets Committee sent
contradictory testimony of six
West Coast union officials to
the Justice Department for
perjury action today after two
of them returned to the wit
ness stand to correct previous
testimony.
Return appearances were
made by Patrick Clancy, pres
ident of San Francisco Local
3 of the Operating Engineers
Union, and the local's treas
urer, Porter E. Vanderwark.
Principal Beneficiary
Clancy, Vanderwark and
three other union officials
have tabbed Victor S. Swan
son, the union's business man
ager and a former San Fran
cisco utilities commissioner,
as the principal beneficiary of
irregularities in the union.
The 74-year-old union official
denied almost all of their
charges yesterday.
Chairman John L. McClel
lan (D-Ark.) had ordered the-""
transcript of their testimony
sent to the Justice Depart
ment with the comment that
somebody was "perjuring
himself black in the face."
Return To Stand
In doing so McClellan had
given all the witnesses in
volved Swanson, Clancy,
Vandewark, business agent
Ed Doran, bookkeeper E. L.
Garrett and secretary Clar
ence F. Matthews until the
start of today's hearing to cor
rect their testimony.
Clancy and Vandewark
stood in the back of the Sen
ate caucus room and said
"yes, sir" today when Mc
Clellan asked at the beginning
of the hearing whether any
of the six wanted to take him
up on the offer.
Vandewark testified that he
received an additional 8500
over and above what he had
previously acknowledged
from union funds earmarked
for promoting a pension plan
at the international union's
1956 convention.
Quizzed About Checks
Clancy was questioned
about two cashiers checks tc--
talling 81,000 which were
drawn from the same source
on the same day, March 27,
1956. He conceded that the
endorsement "looks like my
signature," but. he said at
least one check unearthed by
the committee was clearly
"forged" with his signature."-
Clancy asked that a hand
writing expert" look at the
two 8500 cashiers checks de-
cribed by chief committee
counsel Robert F. Kennedy as
the proceeds of the pension
plan fund. He said he could
not recall "receiving or cash
ing" them.
