U.S. Indicates It Will Keep Men in Lebanon to September (Editor's Note: United Press International Vice President and Associate General Manager Kings bury Smith is on a month long fact -finding lour of Europe). By KINGSBURY SMITH United Press International London (CPB The Unit ed States government has in dicated to Great Britain that it hopes to keep American military forces in Lebanon until mid-September at least This was learned on reli able diplomatic authority Sat urday as concern over the Middle East situation con tinued to preoccupy British officialdom. The British see little hope of pulling their own forces out of Jordan for months if the throne of young King Hus sein is to be saved. pot much optimism pre vails in London that any Un ited Nations summit meeting will produce a quick solution for the threat to Jordan, even if agreement can be reached on neutralization of Lebanon. Greatest Danger Spot In fact, it is felt in British government circles that the Near East will probably re OFFICIAL INSPECTION Mayor John W. Snider, far left, and City Councilman Fred Robinson, second from right, were two members of the official party which visited the scene of a zone-change dispute in Berrydale Thursday morn ing. Harold Farr, second from left, is buying the disputed property and will expand his trailer court onto it if the city zones it light industrial. William Doernbach, far right, claims this change would hurt local property values. He says the property is part of the subdivision in which he lives, and should be zoned single-family residential. A public hearing is scheduled for Aug. 21. Decision Not Yet Reached on Use of Squaw Lakes Area No decision has been reach ed by either Mr. and Mrs. Bert Harr or by the county court regarding development of Squaw likes in the Apple gate dist as a public recrea tion area, it was reported Sat urday. : Harr said Saturday he is considering two alternatives. One would be to sell the Ore gon State Game commission an access strip from the pub lic road into Squaw lakes. The other would be to sell the U.S. Forest Service a por tion of the private road now maintained by Harr and give the game commission an en trance to the lake shore from the forest service road. An appraiser from the game commission is to make an ap praisal of the area under dis cussion some time in the near future, Harr added. The right-of-way from the end of the public road into the lakes would be a little less than six miles in length and about 30 feet wide, Harr explained. Decision Not Reached County Commissioner Ches ter Wendt said Friday that . th county court has not reached a decision on whether it wants to take over mainte nance of the Squaw lakes area, owned by the Harrs. If an agreement is reached with the county the Harrs would probably have to sell or give the county a long term lease to their property including all concession rights. The Harrs have been oper ating their property as a com mercial recreation area. They have been catering to people camping, picnicing and fish ing. However, they have a contract with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mitchell to operate the lake's concession now. Be cause of this contract. Harf said, he would be reluctant to sell or lease to the county. May Lose Use "The public may lose the use of Squaw Lakes unless some public agency or group of agencies make necessary arrangements with the present property owners to maintain it as a recreation area." stated a letter to the county court dated July 21, and from Cole M. Rivers, fishery agent, Rogue River district. Oregon State Game commission. Squaw lakes are located eight miles east of the Upper Appleaate rd. near Copper. The Harrs own all the prop erty surrounding the lakes except for the upper end of the upper lake. This property is owned by A. C. Pierce. Rivers said the entire hold ings of the Harrs are not need ed. He suggested that a 100 to 150 foot strip around the perimeter of both lakes in ad dition to the access roads would be all the public would need. He added the lower lake has approximately 1.5 miles of. shore line and the upper lake .8 miles." Thursday, representatives of the county court made a tour of the lakes. On the tour were County Commissioners Ralph James and Chester Wendt, Bert Harr, Cole M. Rivers, fishery agent;-Tom Rickard, president of the Jackson coun. ty chapter of the Izaak Wal ton league, a representative of the forest service and County Engineer Paul Ryn-ning. Goldfine's Firm Faces SEC Action Washington (UPD The Se curities and Exchange Com mission has notified Bernard Goldfine that new action will be taken aganst his East Bos ton Company for failure to file a required financial re port, it was learned Friday. According to an SEC offi cial, the Boston firm con trolled by Goldfine, a wealthy textile manufacturer and gift giving friend of Presidential Aide Sherman Adams, did not file an annual report on the finances of the company cov ering the 12 month period which ended March 31. The report was due July 29. Thomas Meeker, SEC gen eral counsel, sent a letter to the East Boston Company Thursday, stating that the agency was going to take "ap propriate action." Washington (UPD The Senate Monopoly subcommit tee has tabled the House- ap proved sports anti-trust ex emption bill, apparently kill ing the measure for this year. main the world's greatest danger spot for an indefinite period of time. It is considered highly im probable that Russia wants stability in that area, and therefore little real hope is held that Soviet Premier Nik ita Khrushchev will agree at a summit meeting to any sound, permanent peace plan for the Middle East. The possibility is not ex cluded that he might pay lip services to some form of Un ited Nations' assurance of se curity for Lebanon and Jor dan in order to force the with drawal of American and Brit ish forces from those two Arab states. Little likelihood is seen however that Moscow will stop stirring up the Arabs against the West. There is 'strong suspicion in British circles that Com munist agitators have had a hand in the incidents of vio lence which have occurred in the Lebanon since General Fuad Chehab became president-elect last week. The incidents are believed to represent pressure on Pres ident Camille Chamoun to re sign before his term expires Sept. 23, since it is expected that Chehab will request the withdrawal of American forces as soon as he assumes the presidency. The American government wants President Chamoun to serve out his term because he is unlikely to demand any hasty withdrawal of the U. S. forces. Considered Uncertain The situation in both Leb anon and Jordan is considered in official circles in Lodon to be still so uncertain that anything could happen. It is not that Soviet mili tary intervention is feared. Allied intelligence has report ed no signs of any Russian military build-up that would indicate preparations for pos sible intervention. The recent Russian sabre-rattling on the Turkish frontier has been in terpreted partly as a propa ganda move and partly as genuine Soviet concern over the landing of what was, in effect, an American expedi tionary force in Turkey. Incident Feared What is feared is a Com munist or pro-Nasser incited incident in Lebanon or Jor- dan that would involve the American and British forces in serious fighting. For example, Israel has let the British know that if King Hussein should be violently overthrown, the Israeli army is likely to intervene and oc cupy the west bank of the Jordan river. That might bring Iraq into action against the Israelis, with Egypt following suit, Another Arab-Israeli war could develop, with British, if not American, military forces right in the middle of it. Board of Health to Ban Shoe X-Rays Portland (UPD The Oregon State Board of Health said Saturday that the use of X- ray machines for demonstrat ing the fit of shoes in shoe stores will be banned in the state after Sept. 1. The report followed surveys made by health authorities which showed the most of the machines do not control radia tion. Representatives of Portland shoe stores invited to the meeting of the health board agreed that the devices did not help fit shoes and that they could be harmful to both sales men and customers.
