WW 7? Ml OA In lb MAMV e 53rd Year Medfob 28 Pages United States, Britain Agreed On Time, Auspices Eisenhower Not To Change Position Washington (UPD Secre tary of Stale John Foiler Dulles said today the world is in grave danger of war unless indirect aggression as it is now being practiced in , the Middle East is checked. Dulles told a news .con ference he believed a U.N. summit meeting on the Mid east could expose this grave danger and also dispel false Russian allegations of Amer ican and British aggression in Lebanon, and Jordan. Washington (UPD The United States and Great Brit s' appeared to be agreed to day on the time and auspices of a summit meeting with Russia, but unable so far to persuade France to their views. British Prime Minister Har old Macmillan, in- a new let ter to Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev,, proposed a special summit meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the Middle East Aug. 12. He said the meeting could be held in New York, Geneva, "or any other place generally agree able." Jibes With Ike's View This jibes with the desires of President Eisenhower who favors a summit meeting with in the U.N. framework some time between Aug. 10 and 15. It ftlso is in line with U.S. hopfes that American troops will be out of Lebanon by the&ime a summit conference O convenes. 2 But in Paris, Premier Charles de Gaulle was said to be still opposed to a summit level meeting of the Security Council. The 15 ambassadors to the NATO Council met for two hours but were unable, it was said, to end the split between France and her big two allies. Eisenhower Stands Firm The White House said it does not expect the U.S. reply to Khrushchev's latest note to be delivered today. But White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty made it clear that Eisenhower will not retreat from his insistence that any summit conference on the Mideast must be held in the Security Council. Withdrawal of U.S. troops from the Middle East would strengthen Eisenhower's strat egy for the summit confer ence. This strategy is to con front Khrushchev with the record of Soviet aggression and subversion going back to 1940. Dulles may preview the - U.S. summit position and tac tics at a news conference later today. U.S. Proposes Prevent Surprise Attacks Washington (UPD The United States proposed to Russia today that they meet 'at Geneva in October to con sider means of preventing sur prise attacks. This country recommended that the talks start in the first week of October. Others Might Take Part Western and Communist scientists are in Geneva now discussing technical means of policing a ban on nuclear weapons tests. The new American proposal delivered to the Soviet For eign Ministry by the U. S.

G- Whitaker, chief of the lands branch of the regional office of the bu reau of reclamation. His statement followed a meeting of representatives of the bureau of reclamation, Na tional Park service and the bureau of land -management yesterday afternoon with the county court. Two years is a "pretty good guess" as to completion of re creation facilities in the proj ect, thev agreed. Meanwhile, the bureau of reclamation plans to provide Car-Train Accident At Elk City Crossing Jacob Trautman, 77, of 418 Ross lane, was taken to Sacred Heart hospital by Medford Ambulance service following a car-train accident early this afternoon at the Elk City rail road crossing, according to a hospital report. Details of the accident were not available by press time. State police were summoned about 12:20 p.m. Trautman was being checked to determine the ex tent of his injuries. . Meeting To telke part in the proposed talks for "a joint study of the prac tical aspects of this problem." The U.S. note stipulated that the technical discussion should not bind either side to the acceptance of any partic ular aerial inspection zone. Past Disagreements The U. S. and Russia in past exchanges have disagreed over the area it would be necessary to place under aerial inspec tion to police against surprise attacks. . The meeting program would be limited to "technical dis cussions of measures to re duce the possibility of surprise attacks." 1 ON, THURSDAY, Lynch studies the ball before the attempt, are the two bust and Paul Greeny (center)rThe- served as the arena and neigh Year boat launching areas and have areas posted as to recreation use. This followed a sugges tion of Tom Rickard, presi dent of the Jackson county chapter of the Izaak Walton League, that minimum recrea tion facilities be provided by next spring. Whitaker said following the meeting that public use sites would be developed first, then the organizational use sites. Home sites will be at the bot tom in priority, he said. The bureau of reclamation will have the contract work done with the National Park service acting as advisor, he ex plained. About $150,000 is available for recreational de velopment, he added. After the bureau has de veloped the sites they will be turned over to the county, he said. ' The county court formally agreed to administer the re creation areas. The contract is to be mailed to the county court after a legal technicality is worked out, Neal Butter worth of the National Park service, Portland, sard. Yester day afternoon the county court was presented a prelim inary draft to study. Areas for such organizations as the Boy Scouts and churches would be leased on ajftrst come first served basis, it' was explained. Long term leases would be' signed. All facilities including fresh wa ter would have to be devel oped by the organizations. A control line of 200 feet from the water would be es tablished to ensure general public access to the beach and water, Whitaker said. The bu reau of reclamation would have jurisdiction over this area, he said. The. county should plan a boat ordinance this winter, it was suggested. A boat regis tration fee could cover the costs of enforcing the ordi nance. A log-boom would be stretched across the approach area to the dam to prevent any boats going over the dam, he added. j Price Tribune JULY 31, 1958 Interim9 land Use Studied y Planners. The county planning com mission last night undertook a study of a suggested "inter im" zoning and land use ord inance, and' voted to report on it to the county court next week. The action was taken at a second meeting with residents of Jacksonville, who are con cerned over plans of the City Sanitary Service company to establish a garbage dump near the cityi The proposed -interim ord inance, which in form is sim ilar to zoning ordinance in use in other counties, covers only the area surrounding Jackson ville. It will be submitted to Jacksonville city officials for their study. Prepared by Technician It was prepared by Plan ning Technician Jack Eaton as a temporary .expedient to prevent the use of the area for garbage dumping. But it can be in effect only for three years, during which an over all zoning ordinance must be in preparation. Public 'hear- icials Tour Land Disputed in Rezoning Request Mayor John W. Snider, City Manager Robert A. Duff and six members of the city council today visited the property in Berrydale over which a zonechange dispute has prevailed in recent week3. On hand to show them around were the two dispu tants, Harold Farr, trailer court proprietor, and William Doernbach, s resident of the Valley Center subdivision. Farr, who is buying the property on a contract, in tends to extend his trailer court facilities onto it if the city zones the area light in dustrial. Doernbach maintains such zoning would result in a "blight area". Deed Restrictions The property is part of the Valley Center subdivision, and has deed restrictions against commercial or indus trial use. The city planning commission has nevertheless recommended it be zoned light industrial, in order that it conform with the rest of Farr's Valley Center Trailer court, 3410 North Pacific highway, adjoins the disputed property. The city, it is understood, can establish the zone as light industrial in spite of the deed restrictions. However, if it were to be used for a purpose conforming to zoning but vio lating the . restrictions, court action would be required of local residents if they desired to prevent it. This, Doernbach maintains, places an unneces sary burden on the residents. The city officials' purpose today was to acquaint them selves with the area's appear ance. A "public hearing on the matter has been scheduled before the city council on Aug. 21. In the meantime, Mayor Snider plains to ar range a joint meeting be tween the council and the planning commission. United States Steel Joins in Price Boost New York - (UPD U. S. Steel Corp., the nation's big gest steel producer, today raised steel prices an average of S4.25 a ton, or 3 per cent, in line with markups by other steel companies.

Kipp (8), Birrer (8), and Picnatano; P i x a r r o and Rice. 10 Cents No. 113 ings must be held before an interim ordinance can be rec ommended to the county court. Last night's special public meeting was called following the regular commission ses sion last week, when repre sentatives of the city of Jack sonville, residents, and City Sanitary Service officials met with the planning commis sion to discuss the garbage dump issue. Anthony Boitano, operator of the service, had stated previously that he plans to start using property near Jacksonville for dump ing next month. Letters Read Eaton last night read peti tions and letters from Walter D. Nunley, attorney repre senting Jacksonville area resi dents, from Stanley Jones, Jr., representing the City .Sani tary Service, and Ervin Ho gan, attorney for the city of Jacksonville. Letters and petitions against the proposal generally stated that such a land use would (1) inhibit 'the commu nity's growth, (2) hamper it as a tourist attraction and an area of historical significance, (3) constitute a nuisance, (4) prevent establishment of a planned distribution . reser-. voir at thesouthh-city: limits, and (5) is detrimental and de preciative to vested property interests. They recommended that the commission submit an in terim zoning or land use ord inance to the county court, and that dumping or other heavy industrial uses be pro hibited within two miles of Jacksonville. . Forwards Letter N Jones said he had sent a letter to the Jacksonville mayor and council informing them that the City Sanitary Service planned to use a por tion of the 360 acre tract for garbage dumping. Representa tives of the service offered to meet with city officials to work out any problems which might be foreseen, Jones said. The nearest resident, Jones' letter stated, is a mile away, no area will be used. to violate any laws on sanitation or pol lution control, and no burning is now planned. Establish ment of such a dump would eliminate the unsanitary and unsightly Jacksonville city dump near the city's limits, he added. The service will abide by all reasonable recommenda tions, Jones stated. Not Delay Operations "However, we will not de lay operations so as to allow the area to be,, spot-zoned against disposal use," Jones wrote. Such spot - zoning would be against the best in terests of the city and the county as a whole, he said. - The Jacksonville citizens attending the meeting agreed to close their own garbage dump. A member of the audi ence said the mayor and council had previously agreed that it should be closed. A Jacksonville citizen point ed out that the city has grant ed a 10-year franchise to the City Sanitary Service to haul away all garbage. "But, we didn't expect them to haul it back to us," a woman in the udience quipped. . Became Aware of Problem Councilman Albie Graham said city officials became aware of the problem three or four months ago and brought it to the attention of the plan ning commission then. Don Whalin, of the plan ning commission, urged that the group recommend strin gent control be established over any dump. Daily cover ing of refuse should be re quired, plus special rodent and water and air pollution controls. He added he would hate to get into a hodge podge of spot-zoning. An over-all land use or zoning ordinance has been voted down twice in this county, he said. 'You Fellows Aren't Going to Put it Back Just Like That, Are You?" Flier on Schedule In Try at Non-Stop Distance Record Shemya, Alaska (DPI) Capt. Marion '(Pat) Boling, 43, was 750 miles west of this Aleutian Island outpost at 11 a.m. (PST) today and on schedule in his attempt to set a non-stop distance record for a light airplane. Tokyo (UPD Capt. Marion (Pat) Boling, Palo Alto, Calif., was . favored with excellent weather conditions today and was on schedule in his at tempt to set a nonstop dis tance record for a light plane.

If he gets a strong enough tail wind he may try to fly all the way to Wichita, Kan., a total distance of 8,500 miles. -?' Poor atmospherics prevent ed Boling from receiving weather reports earlier and he asked for and received weath. er data from a Northwest Air lines DC6B. Northwest Airlines, which is maintaining radio contact with Boling, said the pilot passed over Tokyo Bay at 8:15 p.m. (3:15 a.m. p.s.t.), right on schedule.

J. - - - Two Trucks Are Damaged by Fire Two. logging truck fires, in volving vehicles owned by Dick Pruitt, 629 J st, Med ford, and Clyde Cook, Grants Pass, were reported today by the Medford heedquarters of the state department of for estry.

They said France , informed them that the blaze broke out as the truck started up a hill. A gasoline tank behind t h e seat blew up. Some roadside grass was burned. Explosion of one of the large gasoline tanks made this morning's fire a spectacular one. Patrolmen stated that Cook told them he thought a rock kicked up by the truck wheels hit the tank. Both trucks were traveling without loads'. Crews headed by Warden Bill Davis were dispatched to the blazes. Wyatt Judgeship Plans Said Dropped Portland (UPD The Oregon Journal said today it had learned the White House has abandoned plans to nominate Wendell W, Wyatt of Astoria to a judgeship on the U.S. Tax court because of personal ob jections of Sen.

Fuad hehag. 56. army chief of staff, was elected president today in parliamentary landslide victory that ended the 13-week Lebanese revolt and set the stage for swift withdrawal of American troops from this country. ' In Washington, the White House had no immediate com ment. Developments in Lebanon undoubtedly were discussed by President Eisenhower and his top advisers at this morn ing's meeting of the National Security Council. Eisenhower planned to confer separately with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles after the meeting. The U. S. Embassy said tonight there were "no miliary plans as of lhe moment for the re-embarkation or for thj re disposition of any of the United States forces here." It said there was no plan yet to halt any material en route to the joint Army-Navy-Marine-Air Force command which landed two weeks ago Tuesday. Arabs Celebrate An official statement said the U.S. "is glad to note that the representatives of the peo ple of Lebanon have met and elected a new president in accord with their constitution al procedure." It added that the U.S. fhoped and desired that the election of a new president would lead to a restoration of internal security." The tense multitude of armed men surrounding Par liament army troops and in surgents alike immediately emptied their guns into the air in a typical Arab reaction of joy. Rebel leaders ordered a truce. Chehab himself, a silent candidate around whom all sides in the civil strife had rallied in an effort to restore stability to the nation, hur ried back to the capital from his home in Jounieh up the coast from Beirut to arrange a quick take-over from pro western President Camille Chamoun. . 'Opposition spokesman Nas- sim Majadlani said Chamoun s immediate resignation and quick withdrawal of the 10,- 000 American troops here were agreed conditions for Chehab's overwhelming vic tory. Neutral Nation Expected The brisk parliamentary procedure was almost an anti climax after 13 weeks of bloody warfare that claimed hundreds of lives and 15 days ago brought the first U.S. foreign intervention since Korea. The general expectation was that Washington would order the withdrawal of American forces to start in short order. It was also assumed Leb anon's new regime would drop its close western ties to become a Middle 'Eastern "Switzerland" committed neither to East ,nor West. ' The Free World's main con cern now was ' neighboring Jordan where King Hussein is sorely threatened by ele ments favoring President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic. Serious tension prevailed in Hussein's capital of Amman.. U.S. trouble-shooter Robert Murphy, who was the prin cipal negotiator in ending the Lebanese revolt, flew to Am man Wednesday night to see the King. Today Murphy con tinued on to Israel.
