Three Interchanges Planned at Ashland Ashland - The bureau of public roads has rejected a proposal by Ashland City Su perintendent Elmer Biegel to construct an interchange for the Highway 99 freewav at Oak St., Ashland, Biegel told the Ashland Chamber of Con merce this week. The chamber a few months ago went on record as favor ing such an interchange, and the state highway commission approved it. But since the fed eral government contributes about 90 per cent of the funds for the freeway, Biegel said the bureau of public roads has rejected the interchange idea. Three complete inter changes will be constructed along the freeway, Biegel said. They are at the junction of the freeway and the present Highway 99 south, of Ashland, where the freeway will cross Highway 66, and at Valley View rd. north of Ashland. He said there is a chance that an "off ramp" will be constructed from the freeway at Oak st., which would serve as an additional access route into downtown Ashland. Milk Business Claimed Hurt by Strontium Reports Washington (UPD A dairy state congressman believes the Public Health Service should stop making routine monthly reports on radio active strontium-90 in milk. Rep. Melvin R. Laird (R- Wis.) said "scare headlines and stories" based on the re ports are hurting the milk business. Surgeon General Leroy E. Burney endorsed Laird's charge that such stories have given the false impression that milk is dangerously la den with strontium-90 from nuclear fallout. Would Bring Criticism But Burney said stopping the reports now would lay the Public Health Service open to criticism for with holding information from the public. Laird questioned Burney about the strontium-90 re ports at hearings last month by a House appropriations subcommitte. A transcript of the testimony was made pub lic today. The Wisconsin Republican asked if there has "ever been a degree of radiostrontium contamination detected in milk that has constituted an immediate danger to the health of individuals." Bur ney replied, "no, sir." Danger Lack Stressed Laird said the monthly health service releases always have stressed that the stron tium-90 content of milk was far from dangerous." But he said "this fact somehow is lost in the account in the press." The congressman asked why the agency didn't limit its press releases to the stron tium content of water. "In using this one product, milk, it has a tremendous effect upon the economy of the great milk producing areas," Laird said. ' Burney said water is not as good an indicator of stron tium-90 as milk.

MAIN ST. at RIVERSIDE 5 75 MEDFORD Henderson Night Crews Jeered on Leaving Shifts Henderson, N.C. -(UPD- Non union Harriet-Henderson Cot ton Mills workers leaving the night shift were harassed again Thursday night. Police, however, reported a lessening of the violence which renewed here Monday night when members of the Textile Workers Union of America charged the company with reneging on a new un signed contract. Status Up in Air The status of the new con tract was up in the air. It was agreed to last Friday night when Gov. Luther H. Hodges intervened to reach a settle ment between mills president John D. Cooper Jr. and Caro lina's TWUA director Boyd Payton. The union ratified the con tract Sunday but Payton re fused to sign it as scheduled Monday afternoon when the plant hired 15 former strikers for the night shift, which began operation Monday. Cooper maintains he told the union he would not rehire all the strikers. Payton claims Cooper promised to hire 222 unionists for the night shift and the third or overnight shift which is scheduled to begin next Monday. Unionists in Uproar The disparity on what was agreed to verbally threw the unionists into an uproar. The 700 non-union workers have been jeered daily by unionists. Hodges charged manage ment had "intentionally mis led" the union into thinking most of the jobs on the second shift were open, when actu ally only 15 unionists were recalled.

Senate Approves Bill To Enlarge Board of ParoSe Salem (UPD The Senate Thursday passed the bill in creasing the State Board of Parole and Probation from three to five members and re ducing the term of office of each member from six to five years. The bill now goes to the governor.' ( An effort was made in the early part of the session to create a one-man parole board but this bill was laid on the table. A bill to authorize tempo rary liquor permits to sell for 25 cents was defeated in the Senate by a 15-12 vote. Sen. Don Cameron (H- Grants Pass) said that the per mits, which would be limited to two weeks, would be a good advertisement for Ore gon's Centennial. Opposition to the bill was largely based on the premise that the temporary permit would be unfair to permanent residents who must pay $1 for a liquor permit. . During discussion of the $3,176,489 budget for the Ore gon Fish commission, several members of the Senate said there was a need to consoli date the fish and game com mission. Work Closely Together Sen. Alfred Corbett CD Portland) said that although the members of the two com missions were now working closely together, there was still need for consolidation of the two agencies. Sen. Dan Thiel (D-Astoria) also urged the merger. Sen. Walter Leth (R-West Salem) said an, interim- com mittee on which he served was likewise in favor of a merger. "But when we werft around the state and made this sug gestion, the protests that came from the sportsmen and some of the commercial fishermen led us to realize that any im mediate move to merge the two commission would create a Little Rock situation in Oregon," Leth said.
