mass of rain-sodden earth
plunged down the cliffs here
near Lands End Monday,
burying a young high school

Hood Announces
Stockade Plans
Plans for a stockade at the
summit of the Siskiyous on
Highway 99 were announced
today by Ernie Hood, chair
man of the Jackson County
Centennial association.
The building will house a
welcome booth and service
counter in the front section
with rest rooms at the rear.
It will be a completely en
closed log-type structure.
Timbers on either side of
the entrance will be 20 feet
high with a 32-foot timber
across the top for an arch.
Walls of the stockade will be
16 feet high, and two guard
stations will be constructed
over the counter area.
Hood said construction will
be under the direction of
Brig. Gen. William Prentice,
commanding officer of the
Army engineer brigade unit
in Medford.
Plans for the stockade were
drawn up by Albert W. Gandt,
a member of the Centennial
association and president of
the Siskiyou Pioneer Sites
Foundation, and surveying
was done by Bill Wilson of

foot apart, when suddenly I
heard a rumble-a terrible,
roaring noise," the girl said.
"I looked up toward the hill
and saw it coming."
Margaret said she was
buried in mud and rocks up
to her waist, but managed to
dig herself out in about five
minutes.
"I looked for Bill, but he
was gone," she said. "He was
completely buried."
idled workers boosted the un
employment total to a post
war high of 5,437,000.
The Labor and Commerce
departments said in a joint
release that unusually severe
weather made the December
rise in unemployment "com
paratively large."
December employment fell
by 680,000 to 63,973,000, de
spite a pickup in pre-Christ-
mas hiring by retail stores
and the postal service. A big
decrease in farm jobs account
ed for the decline, the depart
ments said.
"As usual in December,'
their report said, "unemploy
ment was less than the drop
in employment because most
of those leaving farm jobs
were housewives and others
who withdrew from the labor
force instead of seeking other
work.
Weekly Earnings Up
The rate of unemployment,
after season adjustments, edg
ed up to 6.1 per cent from
5.9 per cent in November. The
rate was 7.5 per cent during
the depths of last spring's
recession.
The report said . weekly
earnings of factory workers
rose to a record $88.04 in
December. He attributed the
rise to an 18-minute increase
in the work week to 40.2
hours and a two-cent rise in
average hourly earnings.

German Peace
Treaty Proposals
Declared Stupid
Dulles Sees Risk
Of War in Europe
Washington (DP6 Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles
today branded as brutal and
stupid the Russians proposals
for a German peace treaty. He
said they would run the risk
of plunging Europe into a new
war.
Dulles told a news confer
ence that the United States
was prepared to guarantee
Russia against the possibility
of resurgent German mili
tarism if Germany were reuni
fied under free elections.
But, he said, the Russian
demand for a neutralized and
demilitarized Germany is
worse than brutal; it is stupid
and unrealistic because it
eventually might lead the
Germans to try to play the
East against the West and
thereby again shatter world
peace as it did in 1914 and
1939.
Dulles said he and other
U.S. officials are not engaged
in any specific negotiations
with visiting Soviet Deputy
Premier Anastas I. Mikoyan.
But he added that he hopes
each side is getting a better
understanding of what is
really in the mind of the
other.
Dulles said it was important
to have the discussions with
Mikoyan because they could
lead to avoiding miscalcula
tions which otherwise might
plunge the two countries into
real trouble with each other.
There are enough real diffi
culties between Moscow and
Washington, Dulles said, with
out adding to the problem by
permitting misapprehensions
to exist.
Dulles said the Russians and
the West has basically differ
ent philosophies concerning
reunification of Germany and
its future place in the Euro
pean security scheme. The
U.S. and its allies, he said,
believe that the proper thing
to do is to bring a reunified
Germany, able to protect it
self, into the closest possible
relationship with other West
European countries. Such a
close association, he said, is
the best possible guarantee
that the German aggression
which Russia fears so much
would not be practical or
possible.
Large Orchard Sold

burned to death and their
mother was severely burned
Monday afternoon when their

p e a r e d Mrs. McKirdy had
used gasoline to start a fire
in a wood stove in the belief
that the fluid was kerosene.
Her husband, who was at
work at the F. & J. Logging
Co. at the time of the tragedy,
said later he believed a can
containing gasoline for his
pickup truck had been
brought into the house when
they moved in.
A neighbor, Mrs. Henry
Parazoo, said she looked over
from her trailer about 1 p.m.
and the house was in flames.
Several of the McKirdy chil
dren were in front of the
house screaming, she said.
Five youngsters fled the
house and the mother carried
a sixth child, 14-month-old
Emily Sue, to safety. The old
er children are Ruth, 9; John
Thomas, 8; Mary Lou, 6; Rose
marie, 4, and James Henry, 3.

from entering the holocaust
for the twin girls. Their bodies
were recovered by Harold
Mathers, deputy Lane county
coroner, in a crib near the
stove. . ; . '

Lack of Budget
Noted by Duncan
Salem- (UPD -House Speaker
Robert Duncan, Medford, said
today that although the House
got down to work promptly, it
was hampered by lack of a
budget message from Gov.
Mark Hatfield.
Duncan mildly reproved
Hatfield for failing to submit
specific appropriation recom

"We'll be somewhat handi

Issues Faced Squarely
Sen. Francis Ziegler (R-Cor-vallis)
said Hatfield "faced
some basic issues squarely,
ones that have been too long
ignored or avoided."
Sen. Monroe Sweetland
(D-Milwaukie) praised Hat
field's recommendations for
improvements but added, "un
fortunately he advocated a
Spartan tax policy . which
would eat the heart out of
his advocacies before they

Assistance Case
Goes to Jury
The case of Marion Ben
Day and Hazel Pauline Day,
417 King st., Medford, who
are charged with unlawfully
obtaining public assistance,
went to the jury about 11 a.m.
today.
The jury was expected to
return its verdict shortly
after lunch today, according
to court observers.
The Medford couple is
charged with unlawfully ob
taining $288 in public welfare
funds. Gerald Scannell repre

office and Allan Holmes acted
as attorney for the defendants.
Dr. Harry D. Danielson, lo

know the difference between
right and wrong following an
examination of Day.
A professor from Southern
Oregon college, Ashland, testi

Gordon Hudson stressed the
area's liveability. He said the
chamber should strive to keep
the valley "an equally desir
able place, and even more so,
to live."
Eugene Orr discussed build

ford right now," he said, "is
in the process of a pretty
good sized boom, especially
in the commercial buildings."
He said the cnamber should
show people that "we have
wonderful business opportun

Jackson county."
Paul Selby underlined a
need to "sell" Medford as a
distribution center for south

Medford serves.
Supreme Court
Test Expected
To Decide Issue
Hatfield Advisor
Plans Proceeding
Salem - (UPD - Oregon had a
new governor today-36-year-old
Mark Hatfield-but it also
had a superfluity of secretar
ies of state.
Hatfield was expected to
bring a proceeding before the
State Supreme court in the
near future to test whether
outgoing Gov. Robert D.
Salem -(CPD- State Treas
urer Sig Unander said to
day he would not honor any
warrants from the secre
tary of state's office until
the Oregon Supreme Court
decided which of two ap
pointments to the post is
valid.
Holmes' appointment of Dave
O'Hara, 71, as secretary of
state is legal or whether the
office belongs to his own ap
pointee, Howell Appling, 39,
Portland.
Thornton Asks Time
Hatfield's legal advisor,
Lamar Tooze, Portland, hoped
to get a "quo warranto" pro
ceeding before the court to
day, but Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton asked for
more time to study procedure
in the case.
Appling was officially
sworn in Monday on the floor
of the House just as Hatfield
concluded taking the oath of
office as governor by saying
"so help me God."
The Appling swearing-in,
by Tony Nunn, was done so
quietly on the floor that no
one in the packed chamber
house except newsmen real
ized it was taking place.
Nunn, a notary public, is a
brother of Warne Nunn, exec
utive assistant to Hatfield.
Appling Confident
Earlier, Holmes had offi
cially appointed O'Hara, a
former state elections division
chief and a Republican, to
the post on the advice of
Thornton that Hatfield must
resign unconditionally from
his office and let Holmes ap
point O'Hara.
Hatfield submitted a letter
of resignation to the governor
but it was not effective until
the moment he took the oath
of office as governor.
Hatfield believes it Is his
right to appoint his successor
as secretary of state and this
is the matter the State Su
preme court must decide.
Appling, a farm implement
dealer relatively unknown in
political circles, said he had
"complete confidence" that he
would be confirmed secretary
of state by the high court
O'Hara was not present for
the ceremonies.
Appling occupied the office
of the secretary of state in
the capital building Monday
afternoon and said he consid
ered himself secretary of
state.
He said he was not sure
whether he would move into
the office on a permanent ba
sis until the court had decided
the case.
No Hitches
Aside from the surprise
swearing-in of Appling, the
inauguration of Hatfield went
off without a hitch.
Both Holmes and Hatfield
received good hands from the
audience as they entered the
House chamber.
Gov. Holmes first delivered
his biennial address to the
legislature and then House
Speaker Robert Duncan, Med
ford, canvassed the votes de
claring Hatfield governor.
Members,
Dick Woodcock brought uo
the Centennial. "The whole
chamber should concentrate
on what we can do for the
Centennial," he said, "and
other projects will come out
of it."
. Gerald Latham, new vice
president of the chamber, out
lined some of the grdup's re
cent accomplishments, includ
ing promotion of the Talent
project, water resources de
velopment, t r a n s p ortation,
agriculture, the timber indus
try and medical facilities.
"People are coming here
from 200 miles around for
medical attention," he said.
Frohnmayer cautioned
those present against encour
aging "bad" growth, such as
overhasty industrial develop
ment that would glut schools,
and other public facilities.
"We ought to improve the
quality, not the quantity," he
said. "I don't think we want
to take the lid off."
