Vote "Yes "
One week from today, Medford voters will
have another opportunity to vote on a city oil
street Darkiner proposal.
The measure is somewhat similar to one which
was defeated at the time
two vears aero. Some
changed, however, and
be more acceptable than the 19ob measure.
The election next Wednesday is the culmina
tion of more than five years of studying, discuss
ing; and planning, and represents the best think
ing- of downtown merchants, city officials, and
parking experts it has
gether.
CHIEF opposition to
around the fact that
ance of general obligation bonds. Under certain
M 111 1? 1 . 1
circumstances, tms woum De a vancr oDjecuon,
but under the proposals outlined, we feel that this
criticism will not hold up.
Oregon law permits revenue bonds to be
issued for parking purposes, but up to this point
no citv has successfully
of the fact that revenue
salable. General obligation bonds are.
In ef feet, r then, what the voters are being
asked is to approve the
credit.
It could not mean any
in the event of some sort' of major national dis
aster, such as a war or depression, and probably
not even then. . .
Thus new parking facilities would be paid for
by those using them (both the new off-street
spaces, and the on-street parking areas wnicn
would be easier to find),
ness people who also would beneiit.
,
HOW would. the program be financed?
Of the estimated $60,000 annual cost for
the plan now most favored, some $18,000 would
come from present parking meter revenues (or a
maximum of 25 per cent
from this source) : some
from revenue earned by the new parking facili
ties themselves, and the balance, some, $19,000,
would come from assessments on business prop
erty m the downtown area.
The city has some tentative plans for opera
tion of the parking program, including the as
sessment district, location
ties (the so-called Keeney plan, with an ele
vated parking ramp over the .P. tracks, is now
favored) , but all the details have not been worked
out, pending a go-ahead
Generally, the assessment district will include
only downtown; property which would benefit
from the off-street parking, and which would pay
on a 50-35-15 ratio, depending on the degree of
benefit. This would be done only after adequate
public hearings.
1MUCH of the opposition so far appeal's to be
based solely on suspicion suspicion that
the city has some ulterior motive in the project;
suspicion of the objectives of retail merchants;
suspicion that the plan is not thoroughly thought
out, or that it really isn't needed after all.
Having followed these plans since their in
ception, and having participated in many of the
discussions and planning sessions leading up to
next week's vote, we are positive that such sus
picions are entirely, unfounded.
What has happened is that the city adminis
tration, members of the council, leaders of the
retail merchants, and other civic leaders whose
only interest is in Medford's progress, have taken
a realistic look at the parking situation .down
town, have accepted the best possible forecasts,
which indicate that it is going to get worse, and
haVe come up with a feasible plan to make the
first steps toward solving it.
CUMMINGup:
. The off-street parking plan will cost the
general Medford taxpayer little or nothing more
than he is already paying.
It will provide added parking facilities,
which will ease current and future congestion in
the downtown area, making it easier to do busi
ness downtown.
It will be paid for by those who benefit
those who park, and those who receive their busi
ness. The charter amendment to be voted on is
a "go-ahead" to the city administration to com
plete working out tentative plans for the program.
This will be done in an orderly manner, according
to law, and with due regard to the rights of all
concerned.
It will be "good business" for Medford, and
for all its residents. It is a progressive step.
The Mail Tribune recommends a "yes" vote.

The Flying Year
Christmas decorations are up. The streets are
getting more and more crowded. Parking is hard

reminders that there are only 18 shopping days
before Christmas.

The clincher came yesterday when the 1959

cient purchasing department.
This is the year which started out such, a

COLETTE BLACKMOORE
Moscow (OPD Sen. Hubert

an eight-hour talk with Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev Mon
day, said today the Soviet
leader is. a "very - well-informed
man" who "undoubt
edly looks upon himself as a

ministrator."
Humphrey, who was sum
moned to Khrushchev's office
on a few minutes' notice, said
he found the Soviet premier
to be "abreast of just about
everything, including the sit
uation in Geneva."
When he was asked how
Khruschev is able to run his
country and at the same time
keep up with a wide variety of
foreign matters, including re
latively minor U. S. domestic
happenings, the senator said:

Nixon's Visit
Said 'Too Good'
London - (DPD The liberal
Manchester Guardian, in an
editorial generaUy devoted to
praise of Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon, commented to
day that his visit last week
may have been a bit too much
of a good thing.
"On his visit, the vice presi
dent never put a foot wrong,"
the Guardian said. "The ques
tion is whether he did not put
it right a little too often."
The newspaper referred spe
cifically to Nixon's lavish
praise of things British, not
ing that it was "lapped up"
by Britons but that was not
necessarily to their credit.
"Equal partners do not so
thirst for reassurance," the
newspaper said.
"Still, the visit has done
good. Most of us may still be
some way from seeing Mr.
Nixon as a human being - as
a fascinating politician rather
than as an ex-Hyde suddenly
removed to Jekylldom - but
we are learning.
"Since Mr. Nixon may yet
be president of the United
States, it is important that we
should."

During their talk, the. two
men sat at the end of a 25

cluded a portrait of Lenin, a
model plane and a large plas

about 7:30 p.m., without vod

' Through an interpreter, the
two men discussed the Berlin

said Tuesday that Khrushchev
expressed "enthusiastic ap

in medical research.
The senator declined com

he prefers to "begin with
areas of agreement rather

He appeared pleased, how

the talks.
Bomb To Carve
Harbor Described
Houston, Tex.- (UPD -Famed
scientist Dr. Edward Teller
said Tuesday night among
possible peaceful uses of
atomic explosions could be
the creation of a giant harbor
in Alaska.
The possibility was men
tioned in a talk by the "father
of the H-bomb" before some
500 of the world's foremost
scientists at the second an
nual conference of the Robert
A. Welch Foundation.
He said four or five 100
kiloton nuclear bombs and a
few megaton bombs could
carve out a harbor at a point
20 miles below Cape Thomp
son on Alaska's now harbor
less northwest coast.
"In the neighborhood there
are some of the richest and
best coal deposits," Dr. Teller,
head of the Radiation labora
tory at the University of Cali
fornia, said. "A few hundred
miles away there are good oil
fields and there is a possibil
ity of constructing a pipeline
to the harbor."
The cost of such a harbor,
he said, would be one or two
cents per cubic yard of earth
moved, compared to the nor
mal cost of $1 to $2 per cubic
yard.

Likes Keeney Plan
To the Editor: The "Keeney
plan" for parking over the
S.P. track seems to be a very
logical solution to Medford's
downtown parking problem.
The operation will be self
parking and you can lock
your car if you desire, a rath
er new idea. This method is
far superior to the old me
thod of having an attendant
park your car for you and
maybe denting your fenders.
The self park plan where now
operating is preferred by
parkers 5 to 1 over the old
system and is, needless to say,
very much . more profitable
and of course less expensive
for the individual parker.
We feel that this Keeney
Self Park Plan is right for
Medford for the following
three reasons:
1. It is very economical,
cost to build $1,250 per car
compared to over $5,000 per
car in San Francisco for simi
lar parking.
2. The location is as near
the center of Medford as pos
sible; so it will benefit all
merchants and be a conveni
ence to all Medford shoppers.
3. As property owners and
tax payers in Medford we
welcome an assessment on our
property for the purpose of
financing parking. We feel
that this project, covering the
S.P. tracks and making for all
of Medford a profitable use of
now wasted space over the
tracks and also an improve
ment in appearance for the
city, is a real opportunity for
the business and professional
men as well as the shoppers
in Medford.
We are happy that the cost
and operation of the Keeney
plan' can be accomplished
without taxing Medford home
owners.
We are also pleased that
this project seems to be the
favored one for Medford be
cause it is so economical in
all respects and so flexible.
Second, third and fourth lev
els, if needed, can in the fu
ture be added at very nomi
nal costs. This project will be
a great aid to Medford park
ing for some time to come.

In the Day's News
By FRANK
The French have been hold
ing a series of elections. They
have been in the nature of
RUN-OFF elections - the pur
pose of the run-offs being to
INSURE that the men chosen
to run France's up - coming
FIFTH Republic will have
back of them a mandate from
the people that will be so
decisive that no one will dare
to trifle with it. .
At Sunday's election (the
third in the series of four) the
French voters, by massive ma
jorities, did these things:
1. They blitzed and routed
the once - powerful, Moscow
controlled French - communist
party, turning it into a tiny,
impotent group that can no
longer sway French ; parlia
mentary politics. ;
2. They OUSTED in a mass
wave of national contempt the
men of the Fourth Republic
whom they blamed for drag
ging France to the brink of
anarchy and civil war. Form
er premiers and cabinet min
isters were dumped in whole
sale lots.
3. They elected a parlia
ment in which General De
Gaulle is ensured of a crash
ing majority backed by the
rightwing and military ele
ments that raised him to emi
nence in a near - revolution
last May.
rPHE fourth, and final, elec-
-- tion will be held on Dec.
21, when 100,000 "grand elec
tors" will meet to name a
president with greater powers
than modern France has ever
known.
De Gaulle is expected to
be the oven helming choice
of these electors.
THREE questions:
1. Why did the French
turn thumbs down on the com
mies? - ,
2..Why did they toss out the
French politicians? 1
3. Why did theyback De
Gaulle with a crushing par
liamentary majority?
THESE appear to be the
answers:
IT After ; a dozen years' of
disastrous experience with the
Communist party, the French
have HAD IT. They want no
more truck with communism.
2. After long (and bitter)
experience with self-seeking
politicians, the French have
had it again: They're fed to
the chin with politicians. They
want statesmen.
3. They're looking for a
STRONG MAN to run their
affairs. r -

Moe said the lack of waver
could be accounted for by the
fact that the missile from
which the signal came-if it
was a missile was shooting
straight away from the earth
instead of circling it.
Mind you, he said, "I do
not say this is what we heard
or this is the explanation. I
only saiy it could be.
Simply Don't Know
Actually, we simply don't
know where the signal came
from. It could be right here

He and his associates added
it was highly unlikely that the

any of the Russian or U.S.
satellites now in space.
