Newspaper Page Textt4 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medfora. Ort.en, Tfiundiy, October 30. 1931 Oregon Politicians Go Into Final Five By United Press International Oregon politicians headed into the final five days of the 1958 election campaign to day with most of the verbal fireworks centering on the gu bernatorial race. Sens. Richard Neuberger and Wayne Morse were plug ging the candidacy of fellow Democrat Robert D. Holmes who is challenged by Secre tary of State Mark Hatfield on the Republican side. Morse spoke for Holmes in The Dalles Tuesday night and Neuberger has been plugging the incumbent in the Port land area. Hatfield spoke at a veter ans' rally at the Multnomah hotel in Portland Wednesday nieht and said the main things which have stood out in the- campaign are "taxes and the cost of government. Voted for Surtax "We were promised a re peal of the 45 per cent sur tax in 1956. Then we got a 51 per cent built-in surtax. The very people who are run ning on the opposition ticket sat in the Legislature and voted for that surtax," Hat field said. Holme's campaign chair man, Harry Hogan, answered a charge of Republican State Rep. Shirley Fields that Dem ocrats were responsible for taxes. He said, "those two great Republican statesmen, Shirley Fields and the Repub lican candidate for governor, have now stated publicly that people don't like to pay tax es. Hogan and Bob Jordan, Multnomah county Democrat ic chairman, also said they had complaints that voters pamphlets have not been re ceived on time from Hatfield's office said they were mailed on time. Fireworks also were com ing out of the fourth district where incumbent Democrat Charles O. Porter faces Rose- burg attorney Paul Geddes for Congress. Keith Skelton, chairman of Porter's cam paign committee, - charged Geddes with "willful misrep resentation" in regard to bills introduced by Porter in the 85th Congress. Skelton charg ed it was "a last minute des perate attempt to salvage his campaign." Asks Bill Appraisal In eastern Oregon, Republi can Marion Weatherford, who opposed Rep. Al Ullman, call ed for investigation and ap praisal of the Wilderness bill which proposes to allow the government to set aside var ious public lands as perma nent primitive areas. "We must be extremely careful in our appraisal of this measure" he said in a talk at Bend. Holmes urged . voters to approve an increase in funds available for war veterans loans. This is ballot measure number .two.

Groveland, Medford. Days of Campaigning Garbage, Waste Ordinance May Be Recommended (Continued from Pag 1) Frank Boothby,. Prospect, said the proposed ordinance would not work for the Prospect dump. The gumbo or "sticky" type soil there makes the landfill method re quired in the proposed ordi nance impossible, he argued. The Lions club there . estab lished the much-needed dump to prevent further roadside dumping, he explained. Closure of the dump would mean a return to indiscrimi nate dumping, he added. The dump now has a sprink ling system on it to prevent fire hazard, a fence around it and garbage is dumped over a hill, he stated. Boothby was accompanied by V. L. Chapman, Prospect Lions club president. Others directly affected by the pro posed ordinance who attend ed the meeting were Charles Bottjer and Anthony Boitano, both of the City Sanitary Service, and Peter Blume of the Ashland Sanitary Service. Blume stated that the Ash land dump is an open dump which cannot be covered dur ing the winter because of sticky soil conditions and wet weather. Sett Boundary Commissioner . Bob Boyer said enough words had been put in the ordinance to cover everything. A perfect ordi nance cannot be created, he added. This proposed ordi nance is merely setting up "a boundary" to give protection, he said. He suggested a sec tion be added on what the county court will or will not do. Commissioner John Nieder meyer objected to the section applying to unlawful dump ing of garbage. Such dumping must not be closer than one fourth of a mile from the nearest habitation, the pro vision states. Niedermeyer said this could restrict or limit development of an area as he pointed out at the pre Ordinance Being Prepared by Means for better controlling commercial developments on Main st. east of Bear creek and elsewhere in "multiple family" ones is being sought by Medford's planning com mission. To this end, City Manager Robert A. Duff has said he will present the planners at the Nov. 10 meeting with a draft ordinance revising pres ent "multiple family" restric tions. A recommen dation on wrecking yards may also be passed at that meeting. "Too broad," "wide open," and "atrocious," were phrases used to describe' the "multiple family" restrictions now in effect by the three commis sion members who attended the Monday night meeting. Uses Permitted Some of the uses permitted along with apartment build ings and court apartments in "multiple family" zones in clude hotels without stores, office buildings, medical cen ters and clinics, churches and public buildings. Lloyd Anderson, planning consultant from the bureau of municipal research and service at the University of Oregon, Monday suggested a "split-level" approach, divid ing the "multiple family" classification into two subdi visions. The first, he said, could be limited to dwellings: sin gle, two and multiple family. Garden court apartments and AVAILABLE AT All STATE STORES Cod. N.

It would establish an island. The ordinance provides the county court shall administer control and methods of opera tion, for garbage and wastes collection and disposal. An in spector or inspectors would enforce the ordinance as authorized by the county court. A commission member said he understood these would be county weightmas ters. Main Provisions A main provision states that it is unlawful to dispose of garbage, litter, offal or auto bodies in an ' open pit, dump, or ravine without earth covering. No garbage shall be disposed of closer than one-fourth of a mile from any dwelling or where food is processed or stored. Another provision regu lates the types of garbage cans to be used and how they shall be used. A stringent provision also regulates the carrying of that garbage in a vehicle. Other provisions govern the operation and conditions of garbage dumps. In this sec- Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF THE EDITOR of the Columbia Jester reports the receipt of this message from a valued old Indian friend in New Mexi co: "You funny white people really seem to have perfected hydrogen bombs, and I am sure one day some crazy fool will begin to toss them around. Since you already have managed to crowd most of yourselves into un comfortable, sunless cities, each bomb dropped should kill a couple million of you. When enough white people are killed, we will beat the daylights out of you, and take back the country you stole from us. Best regards, Chief You-know-who." A young machinist and his bride, honeymooning on the shore of a New Hampshire lake, were caught in a canoe in a sudden, violent squall. The machinist, scared within an inch of his life, resorted to prayer. "Save us," he implored, "and I vow to give up smoking, drinking, gambling" "Don't go too far." interrupted his bride hastily. "I think I hear a motorboat coming to rescue us.' O 193. by Bennett Cert Distributed by King Feature Syndicate. Revising Zoning Law apartment buildings no high er than 35 feet or 2Vz stories would be allowed. The second, he went on, would include the other, non residential uses now per mitted. It might also include, he said, trailer parks "under certain circumstances." Paul Selby, commission member, replied he thought the ordinance needs "more overhauling than this." After further discussion Duff said, "We will develop an ordinance and submit it for your consideration." 1 Wrecking Yards On the subject of auto wrecking yards, Anderson said that if they were allow ed within the city "severe limits" should be placed on them, particularly with re gard to burning. "When you get into urban areas," he said, "there are certain noxious fumes you can't allow." He explained that "large areas" surrounding wrecking yards have been known to be come either waste or devoted to "some other obnoxious use." He also mentioned the state requirement that wrecking yards be enclosed in solid fences and said they should have access to a principal highway. Planners and city council men present discussed briefly the island east of Riverside ave. near the Big Y, which does not belong to the city and contains wrecking yard Of m i m Pulitzer Prize Poet Succumbs Los Angeles - (CPD - Pulitzer-winning playwright and poet Zoe Akins died Wednes day ' night after a lingering illness. She would have cele brated her 74th birthday to day. She was awarded the Pulit zer prize in 1935 . for her dramatization of "The Old Maid." Among her more promin ent American stage plays were "The Love Duel," "The Greeks Had a Word For It," and "The Furies." Production of her plays spanned a 30 year period. She also wrote a novel, "Forever Young," and two volumes of verse. Before her illness, from cancer, Miss Akins was work ing on a new motion picture script. tion another part of the ordi nance regulates burning of garbage or waste. Another section states, that refuse shall be compressed at least once daily and shall be covered with earth at the end of each day. However, an other section of the proposed ordinance states earth cover "shall be applied not later than the first week of April, the last week of June, the last week of October." facilities. Asked about the chances of annexing this area, Duff re plied, "All we have to do is put it on the ballot." Annexation of areas com pletely surrounded by a city can be accomplished by vote of city residents rather than requiring approval of prop erty owners within the area itself. The group also discussed zoning of areas adjacent to proposed freeway inter changes, and Public Works Director Vernon Thorpe pro duced state plans for the north interchange by Crater Lake highway at Biddle rd. "This," one planner con cerned about potential traffic hazards where interchange ramps met Crater Lake high ways, said, "could turn out to be the biggest wrecking yard in Oregon. W.

Stairs: By MERRIMAN SMITH UPI Correspondent Washington-fEPD-Back stairs at the White House: Seldom has President Eis enhower laughed more heart ily than he did in New York the other night at the first annual banquet for the foot ball Hall of Fame. And seldom does the pub lic see the chief executive in the easy-going, relaxed mood that he displayed dur ing the three hours he spent with the gridiron greats.. What tickled the President most were the gags of come dian Herb Shriner, the boy who parlayed his Hoosier background into television fame. Ex-GI Shriner had the President literally rocking with laughter when he re called his background as a member of a "mess kit repair outfit" when Eisenhower was the supreme allied command er in Europe. "We met in Europe," Shrin er said, "but I can't seem to remember the occasion oh yes, the war."

The Salvation Army SPring 3-7335 Ike Laughs at Shriner Hotel dinner was running long and Shriner confessed that he was supposed to speak only a minute or two, but was forced to keep talking for over 15 minutes. ' "I've had to stay up talk ing," Shriner said from the head table only a few feet from the President, "So they could walk the next speaker around the block to sober him up a bit." There was a quick roar of laughter from the large ban quet crowd, ' then a quick hush as it seemed to occur simultaneously to the nearly 2,000 diners-suppose the Pres ident turned out to be the next speaker? Fortunately for Shriner, Eisenhower : came much later in the program. The President held his own with Shriner in the funny story department, telling one of his old favorites about Bo McMillan, the fabulous foot ball hero of old Centre Col lege. Eisenhower related how McMillan, as a teen-ager in Texas, had the reputation of being the best behaved boy in town, yet he was caught WARDS ( FRIDAY AND SWUMMYCl Reg. 2.98 Misses' Women's PJs Sanforjzed, wash fast, durable cotton broadcloth.

"Well sir," said Bo, "you see I"m a Catholic-and today I'm on my way to confes sion. And my trouble is, sir, I was just a mite short of material." The President's stay at the football dinner ran well over his alloted time as speakers before him dwelled at some long length , on past gridiron glories. The President's doctor, Maj. Gen. Howard "McC. Snyder, was getting somewhat irri tated in the wings because of the length of the banquet program and put on, then took off his own topcoat at least five or six times. When Snyder saw the Pres ident roaring at Shriner's jokes, however, the physician slumped comfortably in a room adjoining the banquet hall in confidence that laugh ter probably was better than sleep for the man who can never get very far away from some of the world's greatest worries. m C Oxbow Fish Loss Said About 4,000 Portland (UPB Albert M.
