buildings and remodeling
work. The work already is
under way, with most of it to
be completed before school

Final arrangements for the

board this week. The bonds
were approved by district
voters last year to finance a
two-year construction pro

County Planners
Dicuss Revised
Subdivision Bill
The revised proposed coun
ty subdivision ordinance was
discussed further last night by
members of the county plan

mission's regular monthly
meeting.
The commission began work
on the proposed ordinance at
its July meeting after it had
been prepared by planning
Steps to be taken before

inance can be adopted:
Preliminary reading by

county court.
technician Jack Eaton. When
the 2V4 hour meeting last
night" was adjourned the
planners still had not com
pletely covered the rough
draft.
Commission President Ed
win Gebhard said that at the
next regular meeting of the
body set for Sept. 10, he will
try to have the rest of the pro
posed ordinance read, and an
attempt will be made to have
a number of county officials
present to offer advice and
suggestions.
With the first study out of
the way, Gebhard said, he
hopes to have the document
redrafted and copies made
available to the public.
Eaton explained that sub
division and building ordi
nances are adopted by the
county court and do not re
quire a vote of the people.
However, a zoning ordinance
would have to be passed by
popular vote.
During the meeting, Eaton
presented his monthly bud
get report for approval by the
commission. A study of the
report revealed that out of
207 hours worked by the
technician during July, 107
were spent on jobs connected
with the garbage dump locat
ed next to Jacksonville. This
included time spent on pre
paring maps, public hearings,
and perparing an interim zon
ing ordinance.
Commissioners present at
the meeting in addition to the
president were Lloyd Selby,
Stewart McQueen, John Nied
ermeyer, Ed Strother, and Ed

Lloyd Gives Full
Support to U.S.
Middle East Plan
Calls for Private
Talks on Details
United Nations, N.Y. (UPI)
British Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd gave full sup
port to President Eisenhower's
Middle East peace plan today
and blasted 'Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko for
uttering "just plain nonsense."
Lloyd called for private
talks at the United Nations
to arrange .details of Eisen
hower's six-point Mideast
plan. He said Gromyko's
charges of aggression by the
United States and Britain
were unfounded. The Soviet
official, he said "has got the
record wrong.'-'
In fact, Lloyd said, it is the
Russians who have been ship
ping arms to the Middle East
and attempting "to whip up
fears of war, and to create a
kind of international hys
teria."
Eisenhower Wednesday pro
posed a do-it-yourself eco
nomic program for the Arab
world. He suggested establish
ment of a U.N. standby peace
force and emphasized the need
for action in the world or
ganization to safeguard Leba
non and Jordan.
Lloyd told the General As
sembly's emergency; session
today he thought it would be
"unwise" to go into details
of these plans at this stage.
"One of the advantages of
our meeting here is that we
have the opportunity of pri
vate consultation and discus
sion," he said.
Lloyd put forth his views
as U.N. Secretary-general Dag
Hammarsk j old's peace - mak
ing role was assuming in
creasing importance.. . There
was belief that the entire
problem might eventually be
turned over to him. This task
would include helping set up
an economic development or
ganization and forming a U.N.
peace force for the Middle
East.
Lloyd was the only speaker
at the morning session. After
his 22-minute speech, the as
sembly adjourned until after
noon. Lloyd, despite earlier sup
port expressed by his prime
minister, Harold Macmillan,
said he doubted the value of
summit talks for which Rus
sia plugged all year, only to
back down when the U.S. and
Britain proposed a heads of
government meeting in the
U.N. Security Council.
Lloyd's backing of Eisen
hower's peace plan came after
the Arabs and Communists re
luctantly conceded that the
President had outlined a con
structive program to end the
threat of war. But the empha
sis was on Soviet charges of
"aggression" against the U.S.
and Britain.

Farm Bill Gets
Past House; Eye
Adjournment
Washington (OTD Con
gress broke the adjournment
barrier today.
The house cleared one of
the biggest obstacles to ad
journment next week by pass
ing a farm bill agreeable to
the administration. The mea
sure still must be compromis
ed with the Senate, but no
difficulties were foreseen. It
would reduce support prices
in future years.
A multibillion dollar hous
ing bill appeared headed for
discard. A Senate-approved la
bor reform bill was reported
due for a vote in the House
Monday, with its propects in
doubt. ,
Adjournment this week end,
as originally planned, was fi
nally and formally ruled out.
Congress won't quit for the
year until next week.
Senate Democratic Whip
Mike Mansfield (Mont.), said
southern senators will oppose
adjournment until they get
a satisfactory cotton price
support bill passed. He said
they had about decided to
"stay until hell freezes over"
to win their objective.
The farm bill being rushed
through the House today is
the "real key to adjourn
ment," Mansfield said in an
interview. "This breaks " the
log-jam."
The new bill, agreed to by
Democratic and administra
tion farm leaders Wednesday,
would head off scheduled cuts
in cotton and rice planting al
lotments. It also would allow
cuts in price support floors
to 65 per cent of parity for
corn next year, for rice in
1961, and for cotton in 1962.
The Senate already has
passed a farm bill cutting
corn and cotton supports even
more deeply. But Speaker
Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.), said
he was hopeful the Senate
would agree to the House bill
rather than insist on a con
ference to work out a new
compromise.
Dr. Balderstone
Takes Montana Job
Ashland Superintendent
of Ashland schools Dr. How
ard Balderstone submitted his
resignation this week so he
could accept an associate pro
fessorship in education at the
University of Montana.
At a special meeting Tues
day night the school board ac
cepted the resignation, effec
tive Friday, Aug. 15, and ap
pointed Stanley Jobe to the
vacated post and appointed
Gaylord W. Smith as high
school' principal. Jobe had
been high school prin
cipal and Smith was vice
principal.
Balderstone joined the local
system two years ago, com
ing here from Silverton
where he was superintendent
of schools. He will assume his
new duties in Missoula, Mont.,
in mid-September.
No word has been received
on the appointment of a new

succeed Smith.

Benefits Sought by
Western Truckers;

San Francisco (UPI)
Thousands of western truck

he has been in "daily contact"

James A. Callan, construc

Confident of Approval
But observers here are con

Super Constellation with 99

Amsterdam to New York.
Survival conditions were

report that any of the air
liner's passengers had sur
vived the crash.
The British Air Ministry
said the French trawler Gen
eral Le Clerc sent a message
tonight saying: "Can see life

But after a close-up look, the
Air Ministry said, the trawler
messaged again there was no
sign of life visible. .
Darkness was closing in
swiftly on the disaster area -and
each passing minute

those aboard had survived.
Search planes flying over
