first recemmen-

park and recreation commis

By a 4-1 vote the council
approved a recommended ex

city's recreation fund for heat

diture.
The center, officially open

Eisenhower Starts
5,300-Mile Trip
For Republicans
Cedar Rapids, Iowa OIPD
President Eisenhower came to
Iowa today to address a farm
crowd at the National Corn
Picking Contest near here, his
first appearance on a 5,300
mile stumping trip for the
Republican party. ;
Accompanied by Mrs. Ei
senhower, he landed at Cedar
Rapids Airport, waved to a
crowd which had been await
ing his arrival, and then de
parted by helicopter for the
contest site near the little
town of Marion.
He and Mrs. Eisenhower,
who was wearing a blue suit
and a huge corsage of white
flowers, were greeted by Gov.
Herschel Loveless of Iowa
and Mrs. Loveless. The gov
ernor presented him with a
Grant "Wood lithograph.
Board Helicopter
As ' the President boarded
his helicopter for the flight
to the contest site, Mrs. Eisen
hower left in an automobile
to go into Cedar Rapids prop
er. There she will visit the
elementary school which she
once attended, and will be
guest at a luncheon.
"We talked about the
weather, and I told them we
were happy to have them in
Iowa," said Loveless, a Dem
ocrat. ,
' The chief executive's tour
was his most ambitious for
an off-year election since he
took office. His major
speeches will be regional in
nature, but he will visit a lot
of places and see a lot of Re
publicans. Plan of Battle
Eisenhower's plan of battle
was fairly simple, but not
without difficulty. His chief
aim was to encourage and in
spire GOP workers to greater
action against Democrats
seeking to retain control of
Congress. In some places,
notably California, he will be
trying to patch up GOP fam
ily differences.
And without saying it in
so many words, the President
was expected to ease any im
pression that his concept of
campaign issues differ to an
appreciable degree from
those of Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon or GOP Na

contractor with violating the
municipal zoning ordinance,
But James Boyce, a Watkins
official, has replied that the
city approved the plans, in
eluding the alleged violation,
when it issued him a permit
Correcting the violation, it
is understood, would involve
a lot of money.
Duff said his report would
be forwarded to the council-
men "in the next day or so.
The report is expected to rec
ommend an official position
and course of action for coun
cil consideration. -Defer
Action
The council deferred action
on the Clark st. railroad cross
ing until its Nov. 6 meeting.
- The city planning commis
sion has recommended the
crossing be "maintained, im
proved and lighted." The
state public utilities commis
sion and two Medford safety
groups have urged its closure.
Duff was asked to "feel
out" the Southern Pacific rail
road in connection with ob
taining a right of way at the
crossing.
Hansen said he favored
closing the crossing provided
such a right of way could be
obtained to permit reopening
it later "if we've made a mis
take." The council approved by a
5-0 vote the purchase of prop
erty on Melrose ave. at South
Grape st. as the first right of
way acquisition for extending
Melrose eastward. The pur
chase price reported by Duff
is $11,000.
Duff said the city would at
tempt to rent the house at
that location and eventually
sell it before street construc
tion begins across the prop
erty.
Melrose ave. is to be ex
tended east across the South
ern Pacific tracks to meet
South Pacific highway oppo
site Barnett rd. Duff said in
August he expected construc
tion to get underway this win
ter. The councilmen called-for
public hearings Nov. 20 on
two requested zone changes,
one for property on South
Grape st. between Melrose
and O'Gara ave. and the oth
er for the Earhart tract be
tween South Riverside ave.
and Bear creek.
They returned to ,the plan
ning commission Nick Gier's
request to rezone his property
on North Pacific highway at
Berrydale ave. .
Gier had requested, and
the commission recommend
ed, a change to "Class IV
Light Industrial" to accommo
date a trailer sales agency
and trailer park. This was an
incorrect - designation, since
the zone currently allowing
trailer parks is Class V Light
Industrial.
May Be Permitted
But Councilman Hansen
said adoption of a new trailer
ordinance might permit a
trailer park in multiple-family
zones. He suggested that
Gier's request be reconsidered
by the commission in light of
that possibility.
The model for such an ordi
nance is expected from the
Bureau of Municipal Re
search and Service in Eugene
in the near future.
The council heard a report
from Public Works Director
Vernon Thorpe that connec
tion of Lone Pine school to
the Grandview-Kenwood sani
tary sewer would not require
enlargement of pipes now be
ing held. . .
It suggested that Lone Pine
submit a formal request for
this connection if it is still
desired.

State Policeman
Dismissed for
Insubordination'
Sale m (DPD Pf c. Robert
Wampler was fired from the
Oregon state police force for
"insubordination and conduct
unbecoming a member of the
department."
He was dismissed, effective
Thursday, by the state police
trial board which heard his
case Tuesday and Wednesday.
The board was composed of
Assistant Superintendent Lee
Bown and Captains John Eic
Tucker and Paul Morgan
Wampler can appeal to the
courts.
Wampler was charged with
insubordination and violating
regulations by discussing
grievances against the depart
ment and its directors, H. G
Maison, with fellow officers
and outsiders.
Wampler conducted his own
examination and cross-exami
nation of witnesses with ad
vice from Capt. Farley Mo-
gan, who presented his final
argument.
Did Not Take Stand
Wampler did not take the
stand himself.
Specifically, Wampler was
accused of having discussed
grievances against the de
partment at the West Slope
office on June 25 and also
with the wife of a state police
man injured in the line of
duty, Mrs. Marvin Atchison,
Coquille.
Mogan said during the
hearing that Pfc. Wallace Um-
mel, ' who testified against
Wampler as to the conversa
tion they had had at the West
Slope office, also - had en
gaged in "criticism of the de
partment and had not come
through the investigation
"with clean hands.
Mogan said in conclusion
that there had not been a
shred of evidence to substan
tiate the charges."
It is against state police
rules to air grievances with
fellow officers or persons out
side the force. They are sup
posed to be taken only to su
perior officers.
Nunley Debates
On Death Penally
Portland -flJPD- Walter Nun-
ley, former district attorney
of Jackson county, said in a
debate here Thursday that
mankind's common exper
ience has shown the death
penalty to be a deterrent to
crime.
Nunley and State Sen. Mon
roe Sweetland (D-Milwaukie)
debated the death penalty
issue at the First 'Unitarian
church.
Nunley opposed the mea
sure to appear on the Novem
ber ballot which would abol
ish the present death penalty
in Oregon. Sweetland spoke
in favor of it.
The former Jackson county
official said the death pen
alty was "not contrary to
fundamental Christian the
ology as I have learned it.
Government not only has the
right but also has the obliga
tion to take life to protect
those who conform to society's
laws'." '
Sweetland said - the death
penalty degrades the state and
was contrary to the highest
principles of morality. .
He cited the experience of
England and said "If the
death penalty is a deterrent,
why were crimes continually
removed from the death pen
alty list? It was because they
saw perfectly well they were
not deterred . by capital pun
ishment." WEATHER

Lumber Prices
Decline Sharply
Prices paid for Oregon lum
ber have declined sharply in
recent weeks, but still are sub
stantially above those of a
year ago, according to Crow's
lumber market news service
in Portland.
The "industry average"
compiled by the service, re
flecting, i prices paid for all
types of lumber, has declined
$1.49 in the past two weeks,
with the greatest drop in
green fir dimension.
The industry, average still
is $2.81 above, that of a year
ago,' Crow's said.
It said that retail lumber
firms bought more -heavily
than normal in July and
August, and are making up
for it now by "staging a slow
down." The lack of demand
was reflected in the price
slump.
Crow's index on green fir
dimension slipped $1.96 in the
past two weeks, dry fir was
down $1.32, and western pine
species were" down $1.12. In
each case, however, the cur
rent index figure is above
where it was 12 months ago.

compared to $163,883 the pre
vious year. Jackson county's
apportionment . took a corre
sponding drop from $2,995
last year to $1,969 this quar

Probable reason for ' the
drop in amusement device tax
receipts is the opinion this
year by. Attorney General

Another part of the tax on

goes to the general fund.

quarter received $16,980,087

tribution of these state funds
