Wards of State
Said Best Aided
By Present Group
Hatfield Vetoes
Some Other Bills
Salem 1TD Gov. Mark
Hatfield today vetoed a bill
passed by the Democratic
controlled Legislature which
would have abolished the
three-man Board of Control.
Hatfield said existence of
the Board is objectionable to
many as a division of author-;
itv which weakens the gov
ernor's position. He agreed
the governor should be held
responsible for acts of the ad
ministration so voters can
make decisions' at elections.
Special Assurance
"But," the . governor said,
"there is one group of agencies
to which such administrative
logic does not apply. The resi
dents of our institutions do
not have freedom of political
action. We therefore require
special assurance that these
wards of the state are cared
for by a state agency that
assures - breadth of wisdom
and experience and continuity
of policy." !
He said "the best device we
have found for these purposes
is the Board of Control."
The Board consists of the
governor, Secretary of State
Hpwell Appling arid State
Treasurer Sig Unander. Its
principal function is making
policy for state institutions
and appointment of superin
tendents. '
Would Name Director,
Hatfield said he may in
clude management of state in
stitutions in changes recom
mended for government reor
ganization during the next
legislative session. The bill he
vetoed would have placed in
stitutions in the hands of a
director named by the gov
ernor. Midnight tonight was his
ripaHline for handling bills
presented him by the 1959
Legislature. He has signed
ano Senate bills. 422 House
bills and vetoed 19 bills.
Earlier in the day he signed

Morse Leaves
Door Ajar for
Sen. Neuberger
. Possible Support
Depends on Record
Washington-dlPD-Sen. Wayne
Morse left the door slightly
ajar today for possible support
of Sen. Richard Neuberger in
next year's elections but he
indicated ' it probably would
be closed before it was
opened.
The two' Oregon Democrats
have been carrying on a dis
pute for some time. It was re
kindled recently when New
berger replied to criticism by
Morse at a speech in Marion,
Ore., April 11.
Depends on Record
Morse said Thursday that
whether he would support
Neuberger for reelection de
pended upon whether the lat
ter's record "improves" be
tween now and 1960. He add
ed, "I don't expect his record
to improve."
The senior Oregon senator
said he had "no present inten
tion of proposing or grooming
anyone" to oppose Neuberger
in the 1960 primary. Specula
tion has listed ex-Gov. Robert
D. Holmes and Rep. Edith
Green as possible Neuberger
opponents in the 1960 pri
mary. Holmes said he would
never run against Neuberger
and Mrs. Green said she had
no plans to do so.
No Name-Calling
Neuberger said he did not
intend to get into a name
calling contest with Morse. "I
have done my best in the Sen
ate to make an honest, fair
record based on my con
science and such knowledge
as I have."
Neuberger said he had no
idea who would run against
him. "This is a free country.
Anybody who wants to run
against me ' should run
against me." ; , - .
Last week Neuberger ac
cused Morse of causing disrup
tion among Democrats in the
state's congressional delega
tion. He was replying to
Morse's April 11 speech in
which Morse criticized Neu
berger's support of adminis
tration foreign policies.
Building Permit
Application for
Station Accepted
John Wiliams, spokesman
for TOT Industries Inc., re
ported today he has been no
tified that TOT's construction
permit application for televi
sion Channel 10 has been ac
cepted by the Federal Com
munications commission, at
Washington, D. C.
Approval of the permit is
determined by the FCC after
public hearings which are
scheduled following a waiting
period from the date the chan
nel is alloted to the area. The
FCC allotted Channel 10 to
Medford effective June 4.
At the present time no
other applications have been
made for the channel, it was
reported. In addition to TOT
Industries, Radio Medford
Inc., which operates KMED,
reported similar intentions
earlier this year. A third
group is rumored to be inter
ested. Williams explained that ac
tual construction could not be
gin until the FCC grants a
construction permit. Follow
ing the approval of the permit
and the construction of the
station, there is a test period
before a final station license
is granted by the FCC.
Meet Qualifications
For consideration by the
FCC, each applicant making
application must meet certain
qualifications. FCC hearings
for channel allocation, where
more than one group is in
volved, have been known to
continue for extended periods
of time. Officials estimate
that without complications in
the FCC hearings, a minimum
time of a year would elapse
before actual broadcasting
could begin locally.
The names of three other
stockholders in the TOT In
dustries were announced to
day by Williams. They include
Gene Barlow and Dwight
Robbins, both Medford, and
Frank Pinnock, Ashland. The
other 12 stockholders are re
ported to be Medford, Phoe
nix and Ashland businessmen.
The four names' that have
been announced will form the
nucleus of the operating staff
for the proposed station.

Island Drive-In
Window Planned
A unique island drive-in
banking window will be con
structed in the parking lot of
the Medford branch of the
First National Bank of Ore
gon, it was announced today
by A. Moore, manager.
One of the two present
drive-in banking windows on
the north side of the building
will be converted to a walk-up
banking window, the first in
the Medford area, Moore said.
"The new island drive-in
and the walk-up window rep
resent an expansion of bank
ing service which has been
brought about by the heavy
use of the drive-in facilities.
This innovation will enable
the bank to handle an in
creased amount of traffic,"
Moore indicated.
Construction of the new
drive-in will begin immediate
ly and it is expected to be in
service within a month. The
island structure will measure
7 by 11 feet and be construct
ed to match the existing struc
ture. Pneumatic tubes will be
used to transfer cash and
banking forms between the is
land and the main building.
H. Barnhart, Medford gen
eral contractor, is in charge of
the construction. Architects
are Church, Newberry, Roehr
and Schuette, Portland.

Thursday evening the Rev.
Roy Nichols, ' minister of
Downs Memorial church, Oak
land, spoke on "God in Per
spective." He termed the Pro
testant reformation "a refresh
er course in history" and de
clared that Christ is the key
and the clue for it was not
meant for any church or
group to "dam the way."
He spoke of the role of
Martin Luther and John Wes
ley in restoring the "freedom
resident in the liberty bought
by Christ" and in bringing
back to the world a concept
which had almost been for
gotten. The minister brought out
that Wesley, founder of Meth
odism, "gave us discipline, or
ganization and a perspective
of a living God unbound by
Rome." He said that "Wesley
religion is a perspective of
God, a personal encounter and
an individual experience."
Mr. Nichols mentioned that
what people understand about
God comes first through the
witness of friends. This under
standing, then, he said, seems
in jeopardy because of the
new things that are learned.
Then, the minister stated,
comes a time of "a fresh spad
ing up" and "a search for a
new finding."
In the new look and new
levels of understanding, Mr.
Nichols said, individuals are
struck by concepts of the mag
nitude and magnificence of
God and of a God who is con
cerned, as well, with the
minutiae - the little things,
the little people and the little
events which make up the
complex quality of the world.
This conception, Mr. Nichols
maintained, changes the face
of the earth.

Conference Held
15,000 Feel Over
Atlantic Ocean
Exchange of Views
Declared Useful
Geneva -(DPD- The Big Four
foreign ministers returned to
Geneva from Washington to
day after an historic "flying
conclave" in which they held
their first brass-tacks secret
session - 15,000 feet above the
Atlantic.
The Big Four, returning
from the funeral of former
U.S. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, held a 90-min-ute
conference that began an
hour after their U.S. Air
Force transport plane left the
east coast of North America.
Exchange Useful
The ministers agreed in a
communique issued on land
ing in Geneva that "the ex
change of views had been use
ful."
The session, the first formal
secret meeting since the min
isters began their negotiations
three weeks ago, was geo
graphically, at least, the high
est level conference in diplo
matic history - 15,000 feet
above the earth's surface.
The ministers' communique
said only that they had dis
cussed "the progress" of their
East - West conference , and
"certain details of their re
spective positions."
But behind the staid diplo
matic phraseology it appeared
that during those 90 minutes
aboard the plane Thursday
night the real negotiating had
begun for an agreement on
ending the threat of war over
West Berlin.
Another Private Session
The foreign ministers
agreed -to meet again in an
other private, secret session
today at the villa of British
Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd.
Lloyd, Secretary of State
Christian Herter, French For
eign Minister Maurice Couve
de Murville, and Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Grom
yko smiled widely and, talked
heartily on their arrival at
the airport in Geneva.
Then they rushed off to
their respective headquarters
to cable home to their capi
tals the outcome of the air
borne negotiations.

said. Radar will be used. Some
unmarked cars will be out, it
was reported.
Traffic fatalities in Oregon
are up 31 over the same per

The governor has ordered
the National Guard to furnish
L-19 observation planes and
helicopters to assist state po
lice. One observation-radio op

supplied by the state police,
the governor's directive
stated.
Each helicopter will be
equipped with first aid sup
plies and warning flares. In
heavy traffic a helicopter can
reach the scene of an accident
faster than a patrol car and
clear congestion sooner and
possibly avoid chain reaction
accidents, it was explained.
