reported today.
He said a crew, consist
ing of Howard Nutt and R.
C Oliver, both of Shady
Cove, picked up a reading
of .13 roentgens per hour
on their monitoring instru

ered "pretty hot" and ex
posure to such a radioactive
substance for five or six
hours would be definitely
harmful to a person.
Civil Defense headquar

house this morning said a
technician has been sent out
to investigate the report,
but he has not yet reported

The Medford police depart

completed construction of a
pistol range on state property
in the Camp White range area.
Chief Charles Champlin
said the range is designed for
the Federal Bureau of Inves

other modern police pistol
courses. He said the depart
ment had been using the Na
tional Guard's .45 caliber
range, but found it did not
meet several police require
ments. .
Champlin said other than
small construction expenses,
the total cost was kept low.
Off-duty police officers did
most of the work, he noted.
Police received assistance
from the city public works de

prime target, he said.
Col. Sheets said that if real

Approximately 400 voters

Battle Creek, Mich. HP) A
costly flaw in the nation's
civil defenses was exposed to
day when simulated radioac

death on millions who
lacked adequate shelter.
The fallout plotted as part
of the 1958 "Operation Alert"
that opened Tuesday with 291
mock H-bomb and missile at
tacks, pointed up what Civil
Defense officials said was. a
"crucial need" for both mass

Dubuque, Iowa (IP) Two
Navy scientists, who soared
in a balloon eight miles into
the stratosphere for a tele
scopic look at the heavens to
help pave the way for manned
satellites, landed unharmed
southeast of here today.
The balloon, launched on
Tuesday night, came down
shortly before 4:30 a.m. (PST)
in a clover field on the Joe
Aeurcamp farm, six miles
east of here, in Illinois.
76 Degrees Below Zero
The scientists experienced
temperatures as low as 76
degrees ' below zero at the
eight-mile altitude.
They were flown to Minne
apolis where they will hold
a press conference this eve
ning.
The scientists were the first
to view stars and planets
through a telescope in the
stratosphere. The experiment
al flight also tested the reac
tion of the scientists to the
thin air and the cold temp
eratures of the lower stratos
phere.
Flight Said Successful
The men wore heavy clo

cally supplied oxygen in the
rarif ied ' stratosphere.
Navy spokesmen at Minne
apolis, who maintained con
tact with the scientists via
radio, said the flight was
"successfully executed with
no failures reported in the
tests or measurements."
The spokesmen said it
would take some time to eval

tained.
Plans Being Made
For County Fair
Plans are being made by
the Medford Kiwanis club to
reestablish a county fair here,
Col. Arthur M. Savard, chair
man of the Kiwanis commit
tee, said this morning. Tenta
tive dates are Aug. 21-24.
Negotiations are being
made with contractors on set
ting up sound and light equip
ment, and to bring a carnival
here, he said. A budget is be
ing worked out and an at
tempt is being made to see if
income from the event could
be guaranteed; he added.
The Kiwanis club has asked
that the county court author
ize renting booths for -such
county exhibits as those spon
sored by Granges and the
Farm Bureau. This, it was
pointed out, would contribute
materially to finance the fair.
The county court has asked
the district attorney's office
for an opinion on this matter
and expects to receive one
soon, Colonel Savard said he
had been informed. t
The county fair would notl
detract from 4-H orv FFA
groups who last year exhibit
ed in conjunction with the
Kiwanis Town and Country
show, he explained. Instead,
each would contribute to at
tracting crowds. Last year's
event was primarily a home
show while the Kiwanis club
hopes to attract both business
and industry to the county
fair type of event this- year,
he added.

Holt Charged'
Fort Worth, Tex. OP) DiS'
eased Korean babies have
been brought into the United
States for adoption through an
Oregon adoption agency. City
Health Director Dr. W. B
Bradshaw charged today.
Dr. Bradshaw claimed the
agency, operated by Harry
Holt of Creswell, Ore., had
shipped the orphans into this
country ; without medical
checkups and then given them
to "couples too old to adopt
babies."
Protest Registered
The doctor said he protest
ed to the state Health Depart
ment after one of the babies
died in Fort Worth.
The infant that died, two-year-old
Charlene Kim, was
adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Otto
Hamilton, who said they paid
plane fare plus $75 to Holt to
cover "other costs" of bridg
ing the baby to this country.
Bradshaw said 89 babies
had been brought to the U. S
from Seoul, Korea, by Holt.
"I want someone to do some
checking on how these infants
get into the United States
without a medical checkup,'
he said.
Creswell, Ore. (IP) Mrs,
Harry Holt confirmed here to
day that diseased Korean or
phans are brought into this
country for adoption, as
charged by a Fort Worth
health official. But she pointed
out that the program has full
Congressional and government
sanction and complete medical
safeguards. -
Mrs. Holt explained that in
order to get a passport to this
country the children are sub
jected to a rigid physical ex
amination in Korea and then
undergo further medical ex
aminations by American doc
tors before they are granted a
visa to this country.
The Holts, in a widely recog
nized act of private philan
thropy, have brought nearly
800 Korean mixed-blood or
phans to the U.S. Last year
Holt was honored by the Na
tional Conference of Chris
tians and Jews . with its
Brotherhood Award for his
work in rescuing the Korean
orphans.

Weather Forecast
Not Included in
Campaign Funds
Carlos Morris, candidate for
county coroner, does not have
to include the expense of his
televised weather forecast in
campaign expenses, according
to a verbal opinion from the
secretary, of state's ' office in
Salem. ' '
Freeman Holmer, chief of
the state elections depart
ment, told County Clerk Ber
eth P. Hopkins by telephone
that such a program ' is not
designated as a political
broadcast. Holmer agreed
that the program could be
considered a public service
since it has been run as such
for a number of years.
Notified of Ruling
Morris was notified in April
by local television station of
ficials that the Federal Com
munications commission has
ruled his program is a politi
cal broadcast. The FCC regu
lation states that whenever a
political candidate appears be
fore a microphone that broad
cast constitutes a political
broadcast.
- Morris explained earlier
that he is limited to $250 in
campaign expenditures by
state law. That means, accord
ing to that ruling, he must
drop his daily program, cost
ing about $60 a night. -Through
County Clerk Ber-
eth P. Hopkins he requested
the elections department of
the secretary of state's office
to look into the matter.
Morris said he has had the
program for four years. It is
a weather broadcast and no
political campaigning is done
on it, he added.

Adequate
Forecast
The outlook for adequate
water supplies in the Rogue
Umpqua watersheds has been
only slightly affected . by an
unusual pattern of April pre
cipitation, according to W. T.
(Jack) 'Frost, Portland, state
snow survey supervisor.
Precipitation was below
normal in valley areas, Frost
noted, and normal or greater
than normal in mountain
areas. Adequate June rains
will be needed to keep stream
flow normal in the smaller,
low-elevation streams, he said.
Water Content
Water content of the moun
tain snow - pack increased
slightly. Cool temperatures
held snow-melt runoff to near
normal in the Rogue river,
while excess precipitation
brought flow of the Umpqua
up to 124 per cent of the April
average, he said.
Exceptionally wet soils in
the upper watersheds will
favor a well sustained runoff
from snow-melt and any sub
sequent . precipitation. Al
though reservoired water sup
plies are somewhat less than
last year at 4his time, they
are 129 per cent of average,
Frost noted. ,
Forecasts of streamf low for
the irrigation season, April
through September, are all at
normal or above normal, ex
cept for the inflow to Hyatt
Prairie reservoir, which is ex
pected to be 80 per cent of
average. Frost said the Talent
Irrigation, district may be
short of water in the late sea-
son unless adequate rains are
received.
Flow at Raygold
Flow of the Rague at Ray
gold dam is forecast at 106
per cent average. Low flow
at Savage Rapids dam is not
expected to fall below 950
second-feet, and. canal alterna
