Dollar's Buying
Power Shrinks
During Past Year
Higher prices and lower in
comes continue to squeeze the
buying power of the consu
mers dollar, according to an
agricultural extension econo
mist at Oregon State college.
Mrs. Elvera Horrell says it
now takes $1.03 to buy what
SI would buy a year ago. At
the same time, incomes have
slipped somewhat lower than
they were at mid-1957. Higher
retail prices, that have inched
up to the highest point on rec
ord this June, combined with
these lower incomes, have put
a double pinch on the consu
mers purse strings.
Although recent reports
show that incomes are on the
upswing, per capita spendable
income is still not quite up to
what it was last year at this
time, the economist notes.
It cost the consumer more
to buy all major living items,
and on most she has to pay an
all-time high. Food increased
the most, clothing increased
the least.
According to Mrs. Horrell it
now takes a little more than
$1.04 to buy the same amount
of food that $1 would buy a
year ago; slightly more than
$1.04 for a 1957 dollar's worth
of medical care and reading
and recreation; about S1.03
for personal care; nearly $1.03
for transportation; and almost
$1.02 for housing.

Medford, August 26.

Ground-To-Air
Test Successful
Cape Canaveral, Fla. (UPD
i-The Air Force demonstrat
ed today apparently with
spectacular success how its
ground-to-air defense missile
can be fired remotely from
hundreds of miles away and
sent streaking into the skies
after an enemy plane.
A Bomarc, now being de
veloped into a weapon cap
able of carrying a nuclear
warhead, was fired at a drone
plane over the Atlantic after
the aircraft was picked up
by radar presumably station
ed somewhere along the East
Coast.
A technician stationed in
a three-story IBM computer
center at the Air Defense
Command headquarters, at
Kingston, N. Y., more than 1,
000 miles away, pressed the
button that sent the missile
up from the cape at a speed
of two and one-half times the
speed of sound.
The Bomarc was set for
a near miss of the drone. The
Air Force said information
on the test was "classified"
but indicated that it' was a
success. .

Joinf Venture
Info Outer Space
Proposed by U.S.
Moscow (UPD Scientists
meeting here have discussed
a U.S. proposal which could
put' Americans and Russians
side by side in the first ship
that carries a crew into outer
space, it was reported today.
American sources said the
plan, proposing cooperation
rather than competition in
some areas of space research,
was mentioned but not
formally submitted to the
resolutions committee of
the International Geophysical
Year Assembly at a meeting
Wednesday.
They explained the pro
posal will not be introduced
formally here because it is
already pending before the
International Council of Sci
entific Unions.
Interest Expressed
Foreign delegates expressed
some interest in the plan.
"The. United States appears
to think there are certain
spheres of space research
where there should be inter:
national cooperation rather
than competition," one for
eigner said.
- "I have the impression this
would extend even to the first
space flights."
No Soviet comment could
be obtained immediately, but
some foreign observers point
ed out Russian space pioneer
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky urged
years ago that the first space
ship should carry scientists of
all nations.
The Russians already have
registered their willingness to
cooperate in a continued ex
change of scientific informa
tion after the International
Geophysical Year formally
ends on Dec. 31.
The resolutions committee
voted Wednesday to extend
the scientific exchange for at
least a year, under the name
of "International Geophysical
Cooperation 1959."

short rice crop this season, to
taling 3,740,000.

Dallas Schools Seek
To End Dilemma of
Racial Integration
Dallas, Tex. (UPD Dal
las' 141 public schools, under
federal court order to inte
grate and prohibited by state
law to do so without a refer
endum, have filed suit to re
solve the dilemma.
In a suit filed Wednesday
in 44th Civil District court,
Dallas Independent , School
District claimed it is not at
fected by two state segrega
tion laws, but carefully point
ed out it was not "bringing
this suit for the purpose of de
claring either of the acts
void."
The schools claimed im
munity from the state laws
because they became effec
tive after the U. S. Supreme
PLEASE YOURSELF WHEN
Champaign, 111. (UPD If
you want to buy a painting
for your home pick one you
like that appeals to you
and not an art work that
other people say is a "good
painting."
For, said Nancy Ocrant, a
University of Illinois home
furnishings specialist, "wheth
er it is a Rembrandt or a Pic
asso, you won't enjoy having
it in your home if you don't
like it."
Remember, too, Mrs. Ocrant
said, that the physical size
and character of the painting
should "fit" into its surround
ings. A misty painting in pale
colors, For example, seems
lighter and smaller than one
depicting heavy forms in
bright colors. '
Court ordered school integra
tion in April, 1954, and after
the New Orleans Federal Ap
peals Court,, in July, 1957,
specifically ordered . Dallas
schools to integrate "with all
deliberate speed."
School attorney Andrew J.
Thuss said, however, that Dal
las schools will not be inte
grated during the coming
school year, no matter what
the outcome of the suit may
be.
The main law the school
district seeks to avoid requires
a Texas school district to re
ceive approval in a local op
tion election before it inte
grates. State law provides that
if this procedure is not 'fol
lowed the school district loses
state funds, its students lose
accreditation and its trustees
are liable to a misdemeanor
charge.
Parents May Protest ',
The second law stipulates
that students may be segre
gated as to scholastic achieve
ment and other considerations
not mentioning race, but that
no students may be forced to
attend an integrated school
over his parents' written pro
test. Both laws were passed by
the last legislature and be
came effective Aug. 23. 1957.
Thus, the school board
claims since federal courts
specifically ordered Dallas
school integration before the
state laws became effective,
the two Texas laws do not
apply.
Macmillan Bids
To End Fighting
On Cyprus Island
London (UPD Prime Min
ister Harold Macmillan made
an all-out bid today to end
three years of bloodshed on
Cyprus and head off the threat
of war between Greece and
Turkey.
Macmillan was flying to
Athens for emergency talks
with Greek Premier Constan
tme Karamanlis on means to
halt the costly intercommunal
disorders on- the strategic is
land colony in the Mediter
ranean. About- 450 persons
have been killed since the
underground EOKA launched
its anti-British campaign three
years ago.
Britain has 38,000 troops
tied down on the island be
cause of the fighting between
Cypriots of Turkish and Greek
descent.
From Athens, Macmillan
may fly to Ankara for similar
talks with Premier Adnan
Menderes, with whom he dis
cussed the Cyprus question
during the recent Baghdad
Pact meeting in London.
U.S. diplomatic trouble
shooter Robert Murphy also
is scheduled to fly from Cairo
to Athens today. Sources in
Athens speculated Murphy
may take part in the talks
which they saictcould remove
"a major obstacle to the West
ern alliance in this part of the
world."
The mounting killings since
the .beginning of July more
than 100 have plunged Cy
prus into a state of virtual
civil war between the Greek
and Turkish communities.

Portland (UPD Robert

dorff on a warrant charging

Mrs. Mundorff also commit
ted to Multnomah county jail

hearing on a charge of violat
ing the Dyer act by driving a
stolen car from Eureko, Calif,
to Medford, Ore., on May 31,
Federal officers said the Mc
Carthy woman and McCarthy
