County Clerk Bereth Hop
kins has been directed to issue
a certificate of nomination to
Robeg; G. Danielson as . dis
trict court judge for Jackson
county by Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton. The di
rective was contained in an
opinion received this morning
by District Attorney Thomas
J. Reeder.
The opinion indicated that
the proper method of testing
Danielson's nomination is
through the courts.
According to the opinion,
Danielson at the time of filing
as a candidate for the office of
district court judge possessed
all the qualifications for office
required by state laws, and
that there was no withdrawal
from candidacy within the
time and manner required by
law.
Complaint Filed
Friday afternoon a com
plaint was filed in circuit
court by Richard J. House,
Medford, against Danielson,
contesting Danielson's eligi
bility for the district court
judgeship and requested that
E. Roy Bashaw be declared
the candidate for the office.
In the May 16 primary elec
tion Danielson received 7,526
votes while Bashaw received
7,273 votes. The controversy
over the election resulted j
when Danielson moved fromj
Ashland oo Klamath Falls
where he served as deputy
district attorney of Klamath
county prior to the primary.
Mrs. Hopkins had requested
an opinion on the residence
issue and had not issued a cer
tificate of election.
Duties Ministerial
In the opinion,' writted by
Lloyd G. Hammel, assistant to
the attorney general, it is
pointed out that the duties of
the county clerk in connection
with election matters, are
ministerial in nature and in
volve the exercise of no judi
cial function or discretion. It
added that the county clerk
has an affirmative duty under
the law to issue a certficate of
nomination to the candidate
receiving a majority of the
votes and has no power or
duty to pass upon the candi
date's eligibility for office or
his ability to qualify if elected.

No Mexican Labor
To Be Imported
For Pear Harvest
Large Unemployment
Brings Policy Change
Pear growers here will
start their harvest this season
' without using Mexican nation
als as pickers, according to
an Oregon state employment
service spokesman.
The harvest is scheduled
to start Aug. 4, according to
the spokesman.
Following a conference with
pear growers and shippers re
cently it was decided not to
use the Mexicans because of
the current unemployment
situation, it was explained.
During the harvest a total
of 2,200 pickers are usually
employed. The packing houses
employ from 2,500 to 2,600
in addition.
No Affect on Work
"The Portland papers car
ried quite a spread on hail
damage to pears in this area,"
the spokesman said. "How
ever, this will not have any
affect upon employment. If
we can supply growers with
enough help, we don't need
the Mexican nationals."
A total of 500 Mexicans is
usually employed as contract
labor for the season. The per
centage of Mexican nationals
brought in is very small com
pared with the total number
of pickers needed, he said.
They have been used in the
Medford area for five years.
Mexican nationals are not
being used in the Milton-Free-water
and Pendleton areas for
the pea harvest this year, it
was pointed out. The labor
supply ' is " reported as ade-j
quate. Milton-Freewater's har
vest is reported as 80 per
cent complete and Pendleton's
85 per cent complete.

Flag Causes Roars
Paris (UPI) Gen. Charles
de Gaulle paid tribute to the
French army today at a mam
moth military parade high
lighting France's greatest
Bastille Day celebration since
the end of World War II.
The 67-year-old premier re
viewed more than 15,000
troops, including thousands of
Algerian Moslem soldiers,
drawn up along the Champs-
Elysees while a throng of
Spectators cheered, wave Tri-
I color flags and shouted, "Vive
De Gaulle."
It was one of the greatest
demonstrations of French na
tionalism in many years just
as De Gaulle had planned it
to be. Two thousand young
Moslem troops marched in the
parade. As they passed the re
viewing stand, the .official
announcer boomed over the
public address system that
"Algeria is French" and shout
ed: "Don't you believe these
people want to be French?"
Rebel Flag Appears
Three of the parading Al
gerian youths whipped "out the"
green-and-white flag of the
nationalist rebels just .as they
passed before the reviewing
stand.
The cheers of the crowd
turned into horrified yells. Po
lice moved in quickly and ar
rested the youths. It was the
only incident of the parade.
Following the parade, De
Gaulle flew to the big Medit
erranean navy base city of
Toulon for a similar review
of France's navy forces.

Gen. Jacques Massu, key fig
ures of the French revolt in

Oregon's Part in
Statehood Noted
Washington (UPI) No
state has contributed more
support for Alaskan statehood
than Oregon, Sen. Richard L.
Neuberger (D-Ore.) said today.
Neuberger, in a speech pre
pared for Senate delivery, re
viewed Oregon's role in the
statehood cause. He cited
backing given to Alaska over
the years by the general pub
lic, the press, the Chamber of
Commerce, trade unions and
other groups.
He said that the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, for
example, was advocating Alas
kan statehood during a period
when the Chamber of Com
merce in Seattle was indiffer
ent to statehood for the terri
tory. He noted that the Port
land chamber went on record
unanimously in favor of state
hood in 1947.

County Treasurer
Predicts Probable
Unexpended Total
$600,000 Set as
Expected Amount
Jackson county's unexpend
ed balance will not exceed
$600,000 at the end of fiscal
year 1958-59, County Treas
urer Karl L. Janouch predict
ed today.
. "This is because of the in
creased budget and a smaller
unexpended balance from the
year just closed," County
Treasurer Janouch said. "No
appreciable increase in mis
cellaneous receipts is fore
seen for 1958-59."
"It is well to emphasize
that the county government
needs an unexpended balance
of around $1 million at the
end of each year to meet ex
penditures for the first quar
ter of the ensuing year," the
treasurer explained. "During
this period new receipts are
insufficient to balance ex
penses." .
Generally, the business of
the county treasurer's office
increased approximately 10
per cent over the previous fis
cal year, Janouch reported.
Receipts were $1,259,339.01
greater. A total of $790,612.91
more was disbursed.
Over $12 million was "nan
died" by the office in the re
cent fiscal year, the county
treasurer stated. Approxi
mately one third of this
amount was for county gov
ernment and the other two
thirds consisted of funds from
90 other taxing units and or
ganizations, he pointed out.
An analysis of the county
government fund details
shows that 1957-58 county re
ceipts were derived from:
federal government, 65.5 per
cent, $1,749,630.20; state gov
ernment, 20.8 per cent, $554,
221.18; local government, 13.1
per cent, $350,192.36; delin
quent taxes, 0.6 per cent,
$15,087.42.
The $350,192.36 in re
ceipts from the county gov
ernment were collected from:
county farm home, 23.9 per
cent, $83,592.37; district and
justice courts, 22.0 per cent,
$77,069.14; county clerk, 15.8
