Results of Lighting

Results of a recent test of
new downtown street lighting

The California Oregon Pow

"The results are gratifying

Duff.
Light intensities of the new
lamps were measured and
found to represent an average

the old, 15,000-lumen lamps.

State High Court
Holds Opinion of
Four-Year Office
Stopped Judicial
Duties by Legislation
Salem (UPI) The State
Supreme Court today denied
a rehearing in connection with
its opinion holding that the
term of office of Jackson
County Judge Rodney Keat
ing was four rather than six
years.
The court pointed out that
under Qimended Article VII
of the state ' constitution the
Legislature was authorized to
and did deprive the Jackson
county court of all judicial
powers and left it with noth
ing but administrative func
tions, o
Therefore, the court said
the office of county judge had
ceased to be a judicial office
for which the term is six years
and instead became an office
created by the Legislature, the
maximum term of which can
not exceed four years.
Asked to Reconsider
A petition Asking the su
preme court to reconsider its
opinion was requested last
month by the law firms of
Roberts Kellington and
Branchfield.
The petition was filed on
behalf of County Clerk Bereth
Hopkins who received a writ
of mandamus from the su
preme court Feb. 28 directing
her to allow Democrat K. C.
Wernmark, Central Point, to
file for nomination for county
judge in the primary election
May 16.
Wernmark, who was defeat
ed by Scott Hamilton, Central
Point, in the Democratic race
for nomination, filed for elec
tion on the ground that the
term of county judge should
be for four years, rather than
six, since it is not a judicial
position. '
Reverses Opinion
District Attorney Thomas
Reeder first issued the opin
ion that the term should be
for four years, but Attorney
General Robert Thornton re
versed Reeder's opinion, stat
ing that Keating was serving
a six-year term.
- The term was again ruled
to be four years when the su
preme court ' issued the writ
of mandamus to Mrs. Hopfins.
The supreme court's recon
sideration on the case was re
quested by the clerk's legal
representative on its own in
itiative after asking Mrs. Hop
kins' approval, it was previ
ously announced.

Ike Reaffirms
Plans To Keep
Adams on Job
Washington (UPIH-Presi-

Sherman Adams as his top
aide despite Republican state
ments that he should resign
because his usefulness has
been seriously impaired.
The President told a news
conference that the statement
he made two weeks ago on
Adams now is no more or no
less an expression of his con:
fidence in Adams than it was
then. The President then con
ceded anew that Adams had
been imprudent but the chief
executive said that he still
needed Adams.'
After giving that answer to
a question about whether he
might be reconsidering his de
cision on Adams, the President
said he would have nothing
more to say at this time on
the matter.
Ashland Council
Discusses Talent
Recreation Sites
Administration of possible
recreation sites in the Talent
irrigation project seems to
have narrowed down closer to
Jackson county as a result of
a meeting of the Ashland city
council last night.
. Ashland City Attorney
Harry Skerry told council
members that the' city park
commission could not legally
act as administrator of the
proposed Emigrant reservoir
recreation site.'
He said it would not be
legally feasible for the city to
maintain a recreation site out
side the city limits. This is par
ticularly true, he said, when
such an area -would be used
by mostly non-residenis. -No
Decision
The Ashland city council
did not come to a decision, ac
cording to the city attorney.
Members felt they would have
to know more of the terms in
volved in the administration
of such ap area.
County Judge Rodney Keat
ing appeared before the Ash
land council to acquaint mem
bers with recreation possibil
ities of that area. Keating
hoped to learn if the city
would be willing to take over
administration of the pro
posed Emigrant reservoir re
creation site near Ashland.
Both city council and park
commission members s a 1 a
they are willing to work as
individuals with any admin
istering agency which would
possibly assume responsibility
for the site.
The Talent Irrigation dis
trict board of directors is to
meet July 8 to consider pos
sibility of the irrigation dis
trict assuming administration
of the recreation sites. . '
To Reach Decision
The county court hopes to
reach a decision on what the
county's role will be on the
recreation development by
July 11.
Meanwhile, Ross A. Young
blood, district forester for the
bureau of land management
here, returned Tuesday from
a two-day . meeting in Port
land with officials from the
bureau of reclamation and the
national park service.
They discussed a proposed
agreement between the bu
reau of of reclamation and the
administrating agency for re
creation facilities in the Tal

He pointed out that the
House subcommittee hearings
still were going on. He added
that he would not have any
comment or entertain any
other questions today on the
Adams case. .
Income Tax Question
But a few minutes later he
did say in response to a ques
tion that he assumed the In
ternal Revenue Service would
report to him on whether tex
tile tycoon Bernard Goldfine
had charged off as an income
tax deductions his gifts to
Adams on the ground that
they were a business expense.
The President said that he
heard only this morning that
Goldfine may have done that.
In other news conference
highlights, Eisenhower:
Made a strong plea for
restoration of the House Ap
propriations Committee cut in
his foreign aid program. He
said the committee's cut add
ed up to "taking reckless risk
with our safety." Such a cut,
he said would "have grave
consequences in portions of
the Free -World and to our
nation's security and will en
courage Communist imperial
ism."
Nothing Reckless
Said that he was not dis
posed to do anything reckless
in an effort to rescue the
Americans captured by the
Cuban rebels. He said we are
trying to get live Americans
back. The action of the Cuban
rebels was unjustified and this
government is doing every
thing it can in an effort to
convince the rebels that they
were wrong, the President
added.
Made clear that he will
not show any preference in
the contest for the Republican
nomination for governor in
New York.
Said that he hopes the
presently anticipated federal
deficit of more than $10 bil
lion for fiscal 1959 (which
began Tuesday) can be cut.
He based this on hope for in
creased revenues resulting
from an economic upturn and
reductions from the present
estimates of expenditures. -Depends
on Americans
Proposed that Attorney
General William P. Rogers
would go as far as the law
permits him to enforce racial
integration. But he added that
he has always believed that
the true cure for racial diffi
culties depends on all Ameri
cans observing correct pro-'
cedures rather than acting
from individual prejudices
and emotions.
Expressed hope that sen
sible solutions which will
not be too damaging to either
country will result from dis
cussions of common problems
on his forthcoming visit to
Canada'. He listed the prob
lems as dealing , with water,
oil, lead and zinc and surplus
wheat.
Expressed hope that some
kind of understanding which
can lead a little bit toward
better East-West relations,
will result from the atomic
technical talks started in
Geneva Tuesday. He -said he
was pleased that Soviet scien
tists showed up.
