YANKS - BEAT BRAVES TO ttlU WORLDSERIES 1 1 MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER -9, 1958 SWORN IN-Martin Holmes, school patrol representative from the state department of motor vehicles (right) looks on while members of the student patrol are sworn into office at a special assembly at Roose velt school yesterday. Conducting the cere mony is Medford Police " Captain Clyde Fichtner. Holmes, who travels about 3,000 miles per month, visits more than 400 Ramp Plan By Me rcha Medford's Retail Merchants' committee today formally ap proved the "Keeney Plan" for municipal off-street park ing and asked the Jackson Medford's Retail Merchants County Chamber of Com merce to work on it next year. The "Keeney Plan" calls for a multi-level parking platform straddling the South ern Pacific railroad tracks downtown. It has been devel oped over a five-year period by Robert J. Keeney, Med ford architect. The area necessary for the structure would be leased from the railroad. Several Holmes Cites Loss In Death of Pope Salem OJPD Oregon Gov. Robert D." Holmes, on the death of Pope Pius XII today, said: ' "Oregonians of all faiths join in mourning the death of Pope Pius XII. To all who be lieve in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man; to all who know that individual human beings are important, he stood as a symbol of moral strength and spiritual courage.""- 'Backward, Turn Backward, O Time In Your Flight" Favored n ts G r o u p sources of capital, both pub' lie and private, are reportedly available to finance it. Negotiations Start According to Keeney, the city has begun negotiations with the SP on leasing terms. He said today the railroad has been "very cooperative." But he declined to discuss financing arrangements him self. Mayor ' John W. Snider, speaking at today's meeting, assured those present that if the city should operate the proposed facility it would not compete with private lots. "It is not the city's inter est," he said, "to engage in business in competition with private enterprise." Otto Frohnmayer, "president of the chamber,: said he thought the "Keeney Plan" has "a lot of merit to it." He said the cost appeared to be "absolutely at a mini mum." Keeney presented his plan to thi city council a week ago and to 'the chamber of commerce roundtable Mon day noon. He reviewed the plan again today. - The vote on Clifford Love joy's motion approving the plan was unofficially 32-0. Copyright, WW.

Chiang Kai-Shek Claims Vicfort In Quemoy Fight Taipeh, Formosa - (UPD -Generalissimo Chaing Kai shek said tonight that the Chi nese Nationalists had won the first round in the battle of Quemoy and had checkmated Communist designs on South east Asia. The Nationalist President said U.S.-Nationalist coopera tion in breaking the Chinese Communist artillery blockade of the Quemoy offshore is lands had had "a stabilizing effect on the Far Eastern sit uation as a whole." People Warned "We have exposed Commu nist weaknesses to the world and have called their bluff," Chiang said. But he warned his people that "we must be prepared to carry on a war of attrition against the Communists so as to destroy their military po tential, disintegrate their pup pet organizations and liqui date Communist traitors." - Chiang spoke in a broad cast marking Friday's 47th anniversary of the founding of the . Republic of China. His speech was beamed . to all Asia, including Red China. Won't Negotiate Vice President Chen Cheng said earlier that Nationalist China will not negotiate with the Communists on the For mosa crisis, and urged the U.S. to break off its Warsaw talks with the Reds. Chen told a cabinet meet ing that the Communists hope to win at the conference what they have been unable to gain on the "battlefield" - the abandonment of the outpost islands of Quemoy and Matsu to their fate. Two Stores Entered In Talent, Phoenix Two stores in the Talent Phoenix area were entered Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, according to -Jackson county sheriff's deputies today. , Entered were the Talent Feed store, Old Pacific high way, and Midkiff market, 501 North Main st., Phoenix. Nothing was reported missing from either store, deputies said. The Talent building was en tered by breaking the glass in a side door. The market al so was entered through a win dow r in the automobile re pair part of the building, where tools were taken to break windows in the food -store. Planners To InloDd Special Meeting on Refuse Ordinance A special county planning commission meeting to fur ther consider a proposed 'gar bage disposal ordinance will be held Oct. 29, at 8 p.m., in the county courthouse, it was decided at last night's meeting. It was decided also to in vite representatives of the lo cal traffic association' and the fruit growers, association to attend the meeting to discuss regulations on pear cull dis posal. Commissioners Robert Boyer and Stewart V. (Duke) McQueen said representatives of other industries which may be affected by waste disposal regulations should also be called in. , Planning commission mem bers agreed that an order should be obtained from the county court specifying "how far the commission could go" on the proposed ordinance. Letter Sought A letter should be obtain ed from the City Sanitary Service in Medford stating in writing the company's agree ment to certain rules on op eration of the disposal site near Jacksonville, the com mission agreed. Steward to Seek Replacement for Peterson in NW It will take some time to recruit "a top man" to re place Dr. K; J. Peterson, state veterinarian, Robert Steward, director of the state depart ment of agriculture, told the Mail Tribune yesterday. In a telephone interview, Steward said he will search the Pacific Northwest, and if necessary, the nation, for the type of man . wanted to re place Peterson, who resigned this wefge-wT.-,: "If there are partisan poli tical undertones I have not observed them," Stewart said. "However,' the Oregon vet erinarians may be taking ad vantage of the political, cli mate to advance their cause. This may have come a month before -the general election largely on the presumption, that the issue would get more attention at this time." ; Influenced Steward said also that Peter son was influenced in his resignation by Clarence Mille son, Portland, president of the Oregon Veterinarians Medical association, and Wal ter Steele, another Portland veterinarian. In spite of the controversy, the integrity of the state-wide brucellosis control and Jthe meat inspection programs have not suffered, the agricul ture department director em phasized. " Fries Elected to Festival Position Ashland - A. C. Fries. Ash land, was elected president of the board of directors of the Oregon Shakespearean Festi val association at the annual membership meeting here last night. . . . Eric W. Allen Jr., Medford, was elected vice president. Other officers are Rudolf E. Vest, Ashland, treasurer, and Mrs. Carl E. Wimberly Jr., Medford, secretary,' both re elected. New board members are Dr. Duane Gillum, Ashland, and William Barker, Med ford.. Holdover board mem bers are Phillip E. Gates, Ashland; A. C. Allen. Jr., Eagle Point; and George V. Blue, Ashland. The association announced that a total of 29,585 saw the four plays of the 1958 season, an increase of 21.6 per cent from the 1957 total of 24,338. Total receipts this season were $74,820, : compared to S58.141 received last year, the association ' said. : - ; Operating expenses during the past season totaled $61, 993. The operational gain of $12,827 paid $3,669 in capi tal costs with the balance credited to reserves, board members noted. The board accepted suDDle- mental articles of incorpora tion designed to clarify status of the Festival for tax ex emption purposes, and to as sure that contributions to the organization are tax de ductible. 'McQueen insisted the pro posed ordinance should be "a simple thing." . State law merely makes recommendations as to the type of regulations on gar bage disposal, Boyer pointed out. It is up to the county court to set up and enforce a set of regulations, he said. There is nothing in the state law which says all , refuse must be covered, it merely recommends, Boyer stated. Site Fillings In the section dealing with filling garbage sites, the terms land fill or sanitary land fill should be specified, commis sioner Jerry Latham suggest ed. This would give the coun-. ty court a little leeway in enforcement of the ordinance, he explained. A sanitary fill would mean that the garbage disposal agency would have to fill dirt in over the garbage the same day as dumped. Cir cumstances such as weather may delay such operations, he said. Applying the proposed regu lations to cover all waste dis posal is "too big a step to take in one stride," McQueen said. This would also include bark on a log deck and the pear culls not eaten by pigs; it was pointed out. Definition of a' dump should be redrafted, Boyer suggest ed. The whole thing is too broad and too inclusive, Mc Queen argued. Location Distance The section specifying the distance a dump must be lo cated from a dwelling might halt development, Commis sioner John Niedermeyer pointed out. This could mean a garbage dump would form an island as business, indus trial and residential districts sprung up around it, he said. Sections concerning separ ation of types of garbage and cleanliness of container is a matter between the collector and . his customer, Nieder meyessaid. This was-dixedted to be eliminated from "" the proposed ordinance. Only a metal garbage can should be specified, it was agreed. .- ' Members of the planning commission who are farmers, disagreed - at a - provision which stated all refuse dumped by a farmer; on his own land should be covered with 18 inches of top soil. Some areas do not have that much top soil, Chairman Ed Gebhard pointed out. This provision was modified. Committee Visits Latham reported that his committee visited various garbage dumps in the county and also looked at a recreation site on the Applegate. In structions should be obtained from the county court o n what the recreation commit tee, is expected . to do, he added. Members of the county court and the garbage dump inspection committee checked several dumps, Commissioner Ed Strother, committee chair man, reported. He said he was not favorably impressed with the Ashland garbage dump. An attempt was made to burn the paper but the rest of the garbage was shoved off into a canyon not far from a stream which could be pol luted. . The garbage dump at the county's . southern boundary line up on the Siskiyous .is an unsightly fire hazard, Strother reported. This will probably be cleaned up when the state highway department can get in and burn, it was explained. . 'Good Job' . The garbage dump operated by the City Sanitary Service near Jacksonville looks like the collection agency is "do ing a pretty good job," Stroth er reported. A series of exca vations are being' dug and a tractor is being run over the refuse to mash it down. This will . be covered with dirt, Strother said. Some salvage material : is scattered around the rim of the excavation work and mav harbor rats. the commissiorier reported. However, he said he did not see any. . . j The Prospect garbage dump is infested with ; white rats, it was reported. A family had left a couple of pets on the garbage pile just before it moved away.! They have multiplied greatly -since then, a commission member ex plained. Shady Cove, Eagle Point,' Rogue River and Gold Hill also have garbage dumps. Grants Pass sanitary service serves both Gold Hill and Rogue River. Ashland and Medford have the other pri vately owned garbage collec tion agencies, Strothers said.

Wendgren, owner of Better Roofing company, Grants Pass, charged with income tax evasion. The case is likely to go to the jury this afternoon: Wendgren testified yester day afternoon he made what he thought were honest in come tax statements.

Mikesell, Grants Pass, attorney for Wendgren, brought out that Wendgren had never received help with his returns or his books dur ing the period in question..

Italv-flJPD-' Pope Pius XII died ' Deace- fully in his sleep early today. A few hours later, a plenary conference of cardinals elect ed Benedetto Cardinal Aoisi Masella as camerlengo or papal chamberlain. In that role, he becomes acting temporal leader of the Roman Catholic church until new Pone is chosen. He wields some of the Dowers of the Sacred College, of Cardi nals in us name unui tnat time. The election of a Camer lengo was one of the first ma jor moves by sorrowing dig nitaries of the- church in setting in motion the age-old - ritual leading to the successor to Pius XII. the 82-vear-old "Pope of Peace" who "reigned for 19 years, seven months and seven days. Church bells tolled and signs of . mourning were donned throughout the Catho lic world. Messages of con-' dolences poured in from Doli- tical and religous leaders of all denominations, for the late Pope was not only the spiritual and temnoral hpnrf- of Roman Catholicism but a diplomat and statesman of universal standing. Cardinals Will Meel In addition to electing the' camerlengo, the cardinals also appointed Msgr. Alberto di Iorio as secretary of the Sa-' crea uoiiege of Cardinals." . This means that di Iorio wilT hold the key post of secretary or. tne Conclave of Cardinals Oct. 24 and 27 to elect a new- pope. Cardinal Alois! Masella is the 79-year-old archpriest of the Roman Basilica of St. John in Lateran and prefect of the Sacred Congregation of the Discipline of the Sacra ments. ' . . . . It now falls to the new camerlengo to take the respon sibility for all the organiza tion of the nine days of events leading up to the funeral ot Pope Pius XII. the conclave and the eventual enthrone-: ment of' the new' Dcme. Hasten To Rom ' - The camerlengo was chosen by the 12 or so cardinals now here, who had to act imme diately under the guidance of Eugene : Cardinal Tisserant," dean, of the sacred colleee. Meanwhile, most of the other of the world's 55 cardinals hastened toward Rome for the solemn conclave.. The body of the late Pon Pius XII, austere and kindly of face even in death, still lay in the room where he died at 3:52 a.m. (6:52 p.m.' p.s.t Wednesday) of a second stroke and heart and lung complications. Later in' the day. it was to be moved from the plain bed- ; chamber on the second floor of the papal summer' palace into the hall of the Swiss guards. There Pius XII will -lie in state until 2 t.m. Fri day when, the body will be transported to Rome. Vatican embalmers gave the Pope's body iniections this morning and prepared it for the nine days of solemn cere mony before it is laid to rest in the grottoes of St. Peter s Basilica close to the tomb of the first pope) St. Peter. In the room where the Pone died, his body lay on a shiny brass bed. it was aressea in flowing white robes, topped by. the ermine-lined scarlet "mozzetta" or cape.. The top of the head was covered by a scarlet camauro, also trimmed with- white ermine, which fitted closely around the ears and left only the face .exposed.
