Phoenix Halts Effort
To Slice Speed Limit
Phoenix The Phoenix city I city recorder to write the Na
council Monday night decided tional Advertising company,
to temporarily drop any fur-1 Vancouver, Wash., stating its
ther efforts to lower the speed
limit to 30 miles an hour on
the South Pacific highway as
it intersects with Fifth st.
In answer to a letter from
the Phoenix city council, the
state speed control commis
sion wrote it considered the
present speed limit of 43
miles an hour "reasonable
and prudent." The letter, dat
ed March 8, "was signed by
Ed B. Crandall, commission
secretary.
The council had requested
the lower speed limit because
of the school crossing at that
other street and
road matters, City Recorder
Frances Steveson read a letter
from the county court stating
a survey and cost estimate is
being made on straightening
out the 'S" curve on First st.
and extending the street to
meet Colver rd. across the
railroad tracks.
Survey Now Made
County Commissioner Ches
ter Wendt said the court has
written another letter today
saying the survey and esti
mate have been made. The
county will include the im
provement of this farm to
market road in its new budg
et, Wendt said. The county
court, in its letter, also in
structed the Phoenix officials
to obtain the necessary rights
of way and obtain a clearance
from the state public utilities
commission to extend the
street across the railroad
tracks.
The city council also ap
proved a motion directing the

sign adjacent to the Golden
Eagle station at the north end
of Phoenix is in violation of
a city ordinance. R. L. Clow
er, station proprietor, appear
ed before the council com
plaining the sign partially
covers his station sign and
obstructs the view of south
bound motorists pulling out
onto the highway.
The city recorder was in
structed also to write the
state highway commission re
questing an investigation of
the safety problem.
During other action, the
city council refused the re
quest of Col. A. H. Dudley,
proprietor of the Southern
Oregon Livestock auction
yards, requesting the city ex
tend its water line to his prop
erty. Mayor Vincent Claflin
said the city would if he ap
plied for annexation to the
city. The city council direct
ed a letter be written him
telling of the decision. The
city recorder is to explain
also that it would cost him
approximately $400 to extend
the line to him. By coming
into the city it would cost
only about S80. However, the
city has a firm policy against
extending any of its utilities
or services outside the city
limits because of difficulties
in the past, Councilman Ar
thur McKintosh said.
To Install Fire Plugs
The city council also ap
proved a motion directing
Fire Chief Leo Furry and
Water Superintendent Irving
Hanscom decide where to in
stall three fireplugs. Costs,
including installation, are es
timated at $150 each. The city
recorder reported $1200 is
left in the water department
supply fund to cover this. The
fire chief and city water su
perintendent pointed out that
plugs are needed on Fifth st.
between Rose and Pine sts.,
on Church st. between Second
and Fourth sts., and on Sec
ond st. by the elementary
school.
A city ordinance requiring
all residents within the city
limits to hook onto the mu
nicipal sewer system was
passed Monday night. Dead
line for the hookup is July 1.
After that a maximum fine
and sentence of $100 andor
50 days in jail will be en
forced against all violators.
The city council also ap
proved a motion directing the
city recorder to buy up all
outstanding warrants totaling
$56,972.54 with the $57,800
from sale of the sewer bonds.

TL UMfl.AJ C By HAZEL JOHNSON
Hollywood (IF) Director
Mike Curtiz admits that he let
out a loud hoot of laughter the
first time he was asked to di
rect Elvis Presley in a motion
picture.
"He needs someone who can
really discover him," Curtiz
was told by producer Hal Wal
lis who was then in the initial
phase of planning Presley's fi
nal pre-Army movie, "King
Creole."
"Elvis needs to be discover
ed as much as Marilyn Monroe
and Jayne Mansfield do," Cur
tiz' said in an attempt to end
the conversation. But he fi
nally did agree to see the side
burn king's dramatic test.
"After the first few lines
Elvis spoke," Curtiz said, "I
began to sit up and take no
tice." "Instead of a gyrating rock-and-roller,
I was watching a
natural, un-actory actor, un
derplaying his role because he
knew none of the tricks of the
trade."
Discovered Many Star
Curtiz, credited with the
'discovery' of such persons as
Doris Day, Errol Flynn, John
Garfield, Eleanor Parker and
Ann Blyth, was convinced.
And that was the beginning
of what Curtiz said was an at
tempt to give Elvis what he
most wants- respect.
"Elvis knows the trend of
his own publicity," Wallis told
Curtiz, "and he's painfully
aware of the ' fact that not
everyone is in his corner. He
realizes that he is ridiculed,
made the butt of jokes and
that the older movie-goers run
in the other direction when
they see his name on a . the
ater marquee."
Curtiz said Presley was the
first one on the set at 7:30 in
the morning, his lines learned,
and he always stayed within
earshot of the camera so he
would not have to be called
twice.

didn't get the answer you'd
expect.
"Instead, he merely nodded
and said simply, 'You're the
boss, Mr. Curtiz'."
The director described Pres:
ley the actor as an "amazingly
restless, ever-searching young
man, pliable, absorbing with
a bounce like a rubber ball."
"In my manner of think
ing," Curtiz said, "he possesses
much the same qualities which
Gary Cooper and John Wayne
showed when they first start
ed in pictures with one
notable exception. They capi
talize on an element of awk
wardness, while Elvis is agile
and resilient with a smooth
ness that you'd expect in a
veteran.
"I guarantee that he'll
amaze everyone. He shows a
formidable talent. What's
more, he'll get the respect he
so dearly desires."
