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.

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

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.

meeting. 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.'

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

Asked about the chances of
annexing this area, Duff re

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

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.
