Hatfield Returns;
No Comment on
Vice Presidency
Salem (DPI) Gov. Mark
Hatfield was back today from
a tour, of five eastern states,
but he had no comment on
whether he might be a GOP
vice-presidential candidate in
1960.
The governor was mum in
the fact of much speculation
that he might be a running
mate for New York Gov. Nel
son Rockefeller.
Hatfield admitted he was
"flattered" by the specula
tion. In New York, Hatfield had
breakfast Sunday with Rocke
feller and his trip gave high
party officials a chance to
look him over.
His rise to national recogni
tion started when he was
elected governor in 1958 by a
comfortable majority in the
face of a Democratic tide.
Rockefeller's name prob
ably will be placed on the
Oregon primary ballot in
1960 under terms of a new
law which provides that can
didates generally advocated
by national news media can
be placed on the ballot by
Secretary of State Howell
Appling.
Appling said that if he had
to make a decision now on
placing Rockefeller's name on
the Oregon primary ballot, he
would put it on.
Arrives Tuesday Night
He said Rockefeller's own
wishes would have nothing to
do with the decision.
Hatfield returned to Salem
Tuesday night from San Fran
cisco after a cross-country jet
flight.
While in the east he receiv
ed two honorary degrees,
bringing his total of honor
ary degrees to four.
He went to Portland today
to head up ceremonies start
ing the Oregon , Centennial
Exposition.

'Park-and-Shop'
Validation Plan
Approved for City
The Retail. Merchants group
of the Jackson County Cham
ber of Commerce this morn
ing approved a "park-and-shop"
validation program for
the downtown Medford area.
Twenty-one merchants pres
ent signed validation agree
ments, and more are expected
to sign, according to Don Mc
Neil, manager of the chamber.
In effect, the plan will pro
vide free off-street customer
parking for as long as the cus
tomer wants to shop in the
downtown area, McNeil said.
Lots now in existence, both
professionally operated and
private, will be invited to par
ticipate, he added.
Expect Others
McNeil said others are ex
pected to be created within
the next several months by
private operators as a result
of the profit incentive which
the plan provides. The lots
are privately owned and are
operated on a profit basis.
A board of control was
elected to establish policies
and administer the plan with
the assistance of the chamber,
McNeil said. Money for the
operation will be handled in
a fund. which is entirely sepa
rate from that of the chamber
budget, he pointed out.
Named to the board of con
trol are Bert Thierolf, Otto
Frohnmayer, John Moff att,
Cliff Lovejoy, Howard Boyd
and Bruno Rath.
McNeil said the plan is in
operation in more than 120
cities in the country. In Fargo,
N.D., a city of 45,000, the plan
has been in operation six
months,, and has resulted in
the creation of 250 new off
street parking spaces down
town by private investors.
