Evans Valley
Approves Levy
Evans Valley A total levy
of $36,737.67 was passed 87
to 46 Saturday after three
previous failures, according
to Alf. B. Mekvold, Jackson
county school superintendent,
The election was held from
2 D.m. to 8 P-m. in the school
gym. The vote totals of 87
"yes" votes and 46 "no" votes
are official since the final
canvass was made right after
the election, Mekvold said.
The levy will go on the tax
rolls Monday. County Asses
sor Ray Schumacher had
granted the district an ex
tension of time on the condi
tion the board would revise
ihe budget so any controver
sial issues were not in it when
submitted to the voters Sat
urday. .
The new levy passed is
S7 442.50 less than the pre
vious total of 544,160.17.
Some of the major alterations
of the budget included re
moval of $7,000 allowed for
a new school bus, S2.000 for
cafeteria remodelling, addi
tion of $1,170 for repair of a
10-year-old school bus, inclu
sion of $500 for emergency
expenditures and $70 for the

ations as' now required by
law.
ffli strict Judge
Decision Soon
Circuit Judge Edward C.
Kelly said Friday he would
have a decision prepared by
Sept. 4, at least, on the case of
Richard J. House, Medford,
vs. Robert G. Danielson, per
taining to the disputed elec
tion for district court judge.
House, in a petition filed
in July, contests the nomin
ation of Danielson as district
judge in the May 16 primary
prior to the election, on the
grounds that Danielson had
withdrawn as a candidate.
Kelly explained at the close
of Friday's windup in the
case that he hopes to have a
decision, if possible, some
time this week. However, due
to vacations the dockets for
both Josephine and Jackson
counties are crowding him for
time, he said.
Judge Kelly also announc
ed that Judge Val Sloper, Mar
ion county circuit judge
would hear the case of E. Roy
Bashaw vs. Robert G. Daniel
son in which Bashaw seeks a
declaratory judgment from
the court naming him the
rightful nominee for district
judge here.
Redden Represents Bashaw
During Friday afternoon's
session, James Redden, Med
ford attorney, representing
Bashaw testified that on May
17 Danielson, during a con
versation had blamed the
state election laws for his be
ing unable to officially with
draw his candidacy.
Mrs. H. S. Gilmer, Daniel
son's mother-in-law, testified
Danielson visits his family
here every week. He works
in Klamath Falls, she stated.
After the trial she stated
that Danielson was without
a job after being in Klamath
Falls for two weeks. The man
who was then district attor
ney had resigned and a new
man had brought another dep
uty in with him to replace
Danielson, she explained.
E. Roy Bashaw, called to
the stand, testified that he had
resided in Medford continual
ly since 1955. He had left the
county prior to that to prac
tice law elsewhere for a short
time, he explained.
Editor Identifies Statement
Mail Tribune City Editor
Earl Adams identified Daniel-
son's statement in the paper
for May 18 in which Daniel
son said he was ineligible
since he had left the county.
The arguments presented
by Sidney Ainsworth, Daniel-
son's attorney, and Stanley
Jones, House's attorney con
centrated on what the legal
period is in which to contest
an election and whether a
candidate's eligibility applies
only at the time he flies for
the electipn or whether it ex
tends to the time of election.
Ainsworth declared that
the final canvas of votes was
made on May 29 and action
contesting the nomination was
not filed until Jyly 11. These
proceedings are therefore
false, he contended, since, ac
cording to law, an election
may not be contested later
than 10 days after the final
canvass is made.
Jones Disagrees
Jones contended .the law
specifies the 10-day period
starts after both the final can
vass and the certificate of
nomination is issued. Filing
was made as soon as the cer
Mayor Announces
New Appointment
Appointments of Charles
W. Crary to the city planning
commission arid H. Dewey
Wilson to the library board
were announced by Mayor
Snider and approved by the
city council at last night's
meeting.
Crary, 63, is business man
ager of Local 659 of the Elec-
I trical Workers union, a post
he has held since about l4i.
He has served as a member
of the state apprenticeship
board and is presently
member of the local board.
He is also on the board of
Rogue Valley Memorial hosJ
pital.
Wilson,' 34, is an attorney
in the firm of Duncan, Bro
phy, Wilson ard Duhaime. He
has served as chairman of the
Jackson County Juvenile Ad
visory Council to the Circuit
court and has encouraged de
velopment of similar organi
zations in other counties and
on a Etatewidt basis.
tificate was issued, he added.
If Danielson's nomination is
declared legal, then the voters
will be disenfranchised-since
they have a right to select
a district judge from this
county, Jones declared.
Ainsworth . concluded his
arguments by stating that if
a candidate fulfills the re
quirements or qualifications
as specified by law at the
time of his filing that is all
that is necessary.
City to Finance
Part of Sewer
For Berrydale
The city of Medford will
participate to the extent of
$29,000 in financing Berry
dale's proposed sewer system,
according to an agreement
voted by the city council at
its Thursday night meeting.-
City Manager Robert A.
Duff presented the council
with two alternative plans for
the system. The council ap
proved Plan B, whereby a
gravity line would be extend
ed beyond the city limits to a
pumping station and pressure
line connected with the Camp
White trunk line.
The city can contribute
money from its sanitary sew
er fund only when the project
in question lies outside the
city limits. Under Plan A, the
pumping station would have
been constructed within the
city and financing would
have come entirely from the
pockets of Berrydale property
owners.
Reduced Assessments
Plan B is $5,000 more ex
pensive than Plan A, but with
the city's participation it will
save Berrydale people as
much as $24,000 in reduced
assessments.
Duff reported that requests
for federal aid on the Grand
view - Kenwood and Laurel-
hurst sewer system had been
turned down for lack of funds.
The council also approved
new electrical code for the
city. And it passed an ordi
nance placing on the Novem
ber ballot a charter amend
ment by which the city could
assess abutting property own
ers for sidewalk construction
without requiring a petition
requesting the work.

area Monday. Aug. 25, she
said.
Mrs. Galey said, "while in
tensive recruitment through
out the Pacific northwest has
brought many workers into
the Medford area for the pear

us that there are not enough

On the four major money
items on .which the House

BULLETIN
Cape Canaveral. Fla.
(IPli An Army Jupiter C
rocket blazed into a starlite
sky last night with a new
Explorer satellite designed
to find out how long man

which has been in orbit for
nearly a month. Explorer V
was virtually the 'same size

Special Session
To Seek Escape
From Integration
Hints At Danger
Of Violent Outbreaks
Little Rock, Ark. (UPD
Gov. Orval Faubus summoned
the Arkansas legislature yes
terday to meet in special ses
sion next Tuesday and find
Central High school an es
cape from integration, regard
less of what the U.S. Supreme
court does.
Faubus ' declined to say
what he will ask the legisla
ture to do to prevent integra
tion of Central and other
schools, where the majority
of white people are against it.
But part of his proclama
tion, calling the legislature
into extraordinary session,
specified that it should "reg
ulate the administration and
financing of public schools
and education and make ap
propriations for such pur
poses." This suggested that he
may want the legislature to
cut off the public funds of
schools integrated against the
will of the white population.
Probable Violence
He spoke in a proclamation,
a statement and in a press
conference, of probable vio
lence, such as broke out last
year, if Central is integrated.
He said in his proclamation to
the legislature that he thinks
"conditions" endanger the
"peace and tranquility. In a
statement with the proclama
tion, he mentioned "the al
most certain disorders that
would ensue."
A reporter asked in a news
conference whether he had
the same information he had
last year, that violence would
break out at Central if ft
were integrated.
Kept Guard at Central
Faubus kept the National -Guard
at Central for 18 days
last September to prevent in
tegration, because, he said
then, he had information that
bloody violence would break
out. 4
He took the Guard away
under federal court order, a
riot did break out and Presi
dent Eisenhower ordered in
1,000 paratroopers to prevent
"anarchy."
Faubus said Saturday,
"Since I have been questioned
so toften on whether I, indeed,
had information last fall that
violence-would ensue if in
tegration was allowed, I
choose to say nothing about
it this fall.
"Rather I would suggest
that all you newsmen go out
and talk to the people of Lit
tle Rock and "l'1"! your con
clusion from that." j
