GOP Liberals to
Limit Fight fo
two House Posts
Washington -(UPD- Eleven
Senate Republican liberals de
cided today to limit their fight
for the GOP leadership to
two positions - floor leader
and whip. ,. , ', '.
-They 'had once -indicated
they might fight for all five
leadership jobs. But today
they endorsed three of the in
cumbent officers.
Joined by Sen. , Margaret
Chase Smith (Maine), the lib
eral bloc endorsed Sens.
Styles Bridges (N.H.), GOP
Policy committee chairman;
Leverett Saltonstall (Mass.),
GOP conference chairman
and Milton R. Young (N.D.),
conference secretary.
Sen. George Aiken, (Vt.),
who presided at today's meet
ing, said the slate was not so
much a compromise "as an
effort to get all viewpoints in
the slate so we would have
maximum strength in the
party." ,
Narrowed Leadership
The decision in effect nar
rowed the leadership fight to
a contest between Sen. John
S. Cooper, (Ky.), the liberal
candidate, and Sen. Everett
M. Dirksen (ill.), for the floor
leadership.
Cooper was nominated by
the liberals a week ago to
' challenge Dirksen. The liber
als also at that time nominat
ed Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel
(Calif.), for the position of
whip now held by Dirksen.
There was a chance GOP con
servatives would run someone
against Kuchel.
Meanwhile, it was disclosed
that Vice President Richard
M. Nixon made an unannounc
ed visit to President Eisen
hower's quarters at the White
House Monday night. But
Press Secretary James C. Hag
erty said he was "sure" they
had not discussed the leader
ship fight
Asked if the President con
sidered ' it improper for the
chief executive to intervene
in the leadership contest, Hag
erty said "these are matters
for the membership of the
House and Senate."
Appointments Are
Planned by Court
Eight appointments to coun
ty governmental bodies will
be made this week by the
county court, according to
County Judge Earl Miller.
Three vacancies will be fill
ed in the county planning com
mission, two on the budget
committee, and three on the
dog control board.
Ending terms on the plan
ning commission are John
Niedermeyer, Jackson v i 1 1 e;
Lloyd Selby, Ashland;- and
Stuart McQueen, Medford.
Tom Wray and Curtis
Barnes, both Medford have
ended terms on the budget
committee and Henry Owens,
Antelope, Warren Bayliss, and
Winn Arnold, Medford, and
terms with the dog control
board.
Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov. Mikoyan
is in the U.S. for a two-week unofficial visit,
but it is s p e c u 1 at e d that he may have
brought a Soviet proposal for easing cold
war tension. -
Hatfield is hopeful that the
matter may be settled in the
courts this week, but this
hinges on whether lawyers
for the two men can get to
gether and agree on the is
sues. It also' hinges on whether
the Supreme Court might is
sue an advisory opinion ' on
the subject without an actual
case before it. In the past it
has been reluctant to do so.
Holmes favors appointment
of Dave, O'Hara, 71, former
state elections chief and a
Republican, to succeed Hat
field as secretary of state.
The governor's ability to
appoint O'Hara is backed by
Attorney-General Robert Y.
Thornton, who said in an op
inion last week that Hatfield
must resign as secretary of
State before assuming office
as governor.
By Thornton's interpreta
tion, if Hatfield resigns, then
Holmes would have the power
to appoint O'Hara. :
Opinions of the attorney
general normally have " the
force of law until tested in
the courts, but Hatfield main
tains that the present opinion
is not binding until the courts
have acted.
Attorney's Lamar Tooze,
Portland, who represents Hat
field, and Orval Thompson,
Albany, the governor's legal
advisor, have discussed issues
that could be presented to
the courts, but so far no agree
ment has been reached.
Both Hatfield and Thornton
have taken swipes at each
other during the argument.
Hatfield has criticized Thorn
ton's handling of the Port
land vice investigations and
Thornton has charged Hat
field with putting the dis
agreement on a "personal bas
is." '
Holmes and Thornton are
Democrats. O'Hara and Hat
field are Republicans.
Another possibility of de
lay lurks in the technicality
that a governor is not in of
fice until the official tabula
tion of the .votes is announced
by the speaker o' the State
House of Representatives.
Democratic Speaker Robert
Duncan, Medford, and the
Democratic- controlled house
might be able to delay this
announcement in an effort to
force Hatfield to resign.
Hatfield might be able to
work with Republican
O'Hara, but doubtless would
prefer making his own man
eligible for the job.
Another possibility was
that Holmes might resign him
self as governor before Hat
field is inaugurated.
That development presum
ably would occur after the
1959 legislature organizes and
thus would elevate Sen. Walt
er J. Pearson, Portland Dem
ocrat, and Senate president,
to the governor's post.
The Holmes resignation
might underline the principle
involved without risk of crit
icism that Holmes wants to
continue as governor on a
technicality.
ihe state constitution pro
vides that the beginning of
a new governor's term is up
to the legislature.

icials Claim
Mikoyan Backing
Down on Demands
Washington -(UPD- High of
ficials said today that Soviet
Deputy Premier Anastas I.
Mikoyan in his talks here ap
pears to be backing down on
Russia's Berlin demands.
Mikoyan, who met Monday
with Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles and dined Mon
day x night with congressional
and business leaders, was re
ported to have assurd offi
cials that Russia has no in
tention of trying, to force
Britain, France and the Unit
ed States out of Berlin.
Informants said the Krem
lin's No. 2 man told the din
ner group that Russia was
willing to promise continued
allied access to the Commu
nist encircled city when the
Russians turn over control of
their sector and the supply
lines to the East German
Communists June 1.
Mikoyan has insisted that
Russia intends to go through
with its promise to turn' East
Berlin over to the German
Reds at the end of May and
has urged anew that the allies
evacuate West Berlin by that
time and permit it to become
a "demilitarized, free city."
Beaten by Airlift
However, he appears to
have made it clear that Rus
sia does not intend to try,
through the German Commu
nists or by its own.action, to
cut off and isolate the allies
as was done in 1948. At that
time the western powers re
sorted to a massive airlift to
supply the beleaguered west
ern sector of the city.
The, Russian official has
dropped strong hints that
what his boss, Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev really
wants is a summit meeting
with President Eisenhower on
Berlin, other German prob
lems such as reunification and
the question of European se
curity. This confirms the belief of
some. American officials that
Khrushchev deliberately pre
cipitated the Berlin crisis in
an effort to get a summit con
ference. Mikoyan has talked
here only of a Soviet-Amerj-can
meeting and it is not clear
yet whether he intends to in
clude chief British and French
officials.
The United States could be
expected to insist that its two
major allies attend any top
meeting.
i Officials said that Mikoyan
in his talks with Dulles and
others, has said that Russia
did not make its Nov. 27 pro
posals on Berlin with the idea
of serving an ultimatum. Mik
oyan has described the Rus
sian note as being a set of
"proposals" which the Krem
lin wishes to use as a basis
for negotiation.

Soviet Scientist
Says Moon Rocket
Fired First Time
Moscow DPD A top Soviet
scientist said today the Rus
sians successfully fired their
moon rocket the first time they
tried. Prof. Anatoly Blagon
ravov, head of the Technical
Sciences Department of the
U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences,
said the moon shot launched
Friday was the first of its
kind ever tried in Russia.
The statement that the So
viet Union has known no
failures such as those suffered
by the United States in its
moon rocket efforts was made
at a news conference for for
eign and Soviet correspond
ents. ,
Scientists at the conference
also said the rocket, which
was launched in the direction
of the moon and bypassed it
by 5,000 miles Sunday morn
ing, is now 500,000 miles from
the earth.
Prof. Boris Kukarkin, a
leading Soviet astronomer,
said there was a possibility
the artificial planet might
come within comparatively
short distances of the earth,
a development which would
make its tracking possible.
Blaganravov said this
launching had not been pre
ceded by unsuccessful at
tempts. He also replied in the nega
tive to questions about wheth
er the Soviets have undertak
en experimental flights of
manned rockets to high alti
tudes. He said the Russians
will do that only when they
are quite sure of the possibil
ity of man's return to earth.
A Russian science corres
pondent predicted the next
stage would be a rocket to" the
moon and he boasted that the
Soviet Union would be the
first to land a manned space
ship there.
All radio contact with the
rocket was lost Monday, 62
hours after launching, ending
Mechta's scientific useful
ntss. Powerful telescopes may
pick it up when it completes
its orbit around the sun 15
months from now, but it never
will be heard from again.

Cabinet Sworn in
Today; Martyred
Heroes Honored
Havana (UPD Provisional
President Manuel Urrutia
swears in his new cabinet to
day and then honors the mar
tyred heroes of a rival stu
dent rebel . movement that
threatened the new regime
with its first internal crisis.
The student group, the
"Revolutionary Directorate"
headed by 28-year-old Rolan
do Cubelo, opened a second
front in central Cuba in sup
port of the "26th o f July"
rebel movement led by Fidel
Castro. It has demanded a
voice in the new government.
Urrutia's pledge to hold a
ceremony today at the Uni
versity of Havana to honor
the students who lost their
lives in the unsuccessful 1957
assault on the presidential pa
lace occupied by Fulgencio
Batista was expected to im
prove relations between the
26th of July group and the
directorate.
Rival Factions
Diplomatic observers here
were cheered that rival fac
tions within the rebel coali
tion proved capable of resolv
ing the differences which for
a while blocked Urrutia's tak
ing over of the presidential
palace. They" also were pleas
ed by Urrutia's conciliatory
moves.
Meanwhile the Urrutia gov
ernment took a number of
steps 'designed ' to consolidate
its position:
-It proclaimed a new con
stitution guaranteeing civil
rights and pledging early el
ections. -It received the foreign dip
lomatic corps and , foreign
press at the presidential pal
ace within minutes after ar
rival and asked for diplomatic
recognition.
-It pledged a full guarantee
of American investments in
Cuba. x
-It promised an immediate
increase in security arrange
ments to prevent a recurrence
of the invasion of the Colom
bia embassy by rebel zealots.
-It promptly repealed a
martial law decree, issued by
Havana military commanders,
before it could even go into
effect.
-Urrutia gathered into his
cabinet a member of former
President Carlos Prios' Auth
entic party and indicated a
willingness to include repre
sentatives of other revolution
ary factions in his govern
ment. Rayburn Named ,

Charge of Murder
Shooting Occurs
In Home Early Today
Ashland-Mrs. Maxine A.
Click, 46, of 720 Indiana st,
Ashland, is being held on a
charge of murder. Sheriff Joe
Walsh said this morning.
Walsh reported Mrs. Click
has confessed in writing to
shooting her husband, Hous
ton James Click, 47, in the
bedroom of their home about
8 a.m. today.
The shooting was the cul

ficers. She is the mother of
nine children, aged 4 to 21
years, Walsh said.
Shot While In Bed
Mrs. Click said in her con
fession that she shot her hus- '
band while he was in bed. She
said she did not know wheth
er he was asleep.
Click was shot once through
the head and once through
the upper part of his body
with a .22 caliber rifle, of
ficers reported.
The body has been taken to
Ashland Mortuary and an au
topsy was to be performed
this afternoon, Deputy Cor
oner Gordon Hays said. State
police, Ashland police, Jack
son county sheriffs officers
and Jerry Scannell, chief dep
uty district attorney, are in
vestigating the case.
Following the shooting,
Mrs. Click called Ashland po
lice from a nearby grocery
store. "I'd like to report a
man has been shot," she told
Ashland police.
Receive Welfare
Mrs. Click is receiving pub
lic welfare aid and Click was
an unemployed mill worker,
Walsh said today. Mrs. Click
has been living in Ashland a
year. Click joined his family
Dec. 26 in Ashland after be
ing discharged from a hospit
al in Missouri, Walsh said.
He had been injured in a
mill accident.
Six children were sleeping
in adjacent bedrooms when
the shooting occurred, Walsh
reported. Three children were
living away from home at the
time of the shooting. The six
children at home have been
turned over to the public wel

New Radar Sets
Placed in Action
' The Medford police depart
ment's new radar set has been
placed in operation this week
and warnings-but not citations-are
being issued to
speeds.
Capt. Clyde Fichtner report
ed this today, and explained
that its current use is for edu
cating both patrolmen and the
public in its operation.
He said the set is being used
this week on the midnight to
8 a.m. shift. He plans to use
it on the 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. shift
next week and on the 4 p.m.
to midnight shift, the week
following.
Patrolman Duane Franklin
is in charge of the set's opera
tion and training of other
patrolmen.
Capt. Fichtner gave no defi
nite date for when police op
erating the set would start
issuing citations to speeders.
Program
Spring
was sold and logged some
years ago. Then the very seri
ous fire season of 1951
brought numerous fires to
southwest Oregon and Ken
nedy gulch was swept by a
1,200-acre fire. All reproduc
tion and most of the seed
trees were killed. Practically
no natural reproduction has
come in since that time."
This is the first step in an
annuaj planting program that
will eventually result in re-
foresting all poorly and non
stocked state forest lands in
both Josephine and Jackson
counties, Nesheim said. The
total acreage involved in
cludes 7,303 acres in Jose
phine county and 2,062 in
Jackson.
Nesheim said that an inven
tory of all the lands is nearly
completed and one phase of
this work will indicate the
degree of stocking on all the
lands and thus tell the story
as to the need of planting.
