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

This country recommended
that the talks start in the first

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

CHECKS REVOLT
NO ANNOUNCEMENT
ON TROOP REMOVAL
Beirut. Lebanon (UPm-Maj. Gen. 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.
