Jwhich had
qffilliam Ewaki Teen shot in
ffngland for theater consump
tion. "Dark as the Night" it
ftj called and a dark and
murky piece of dramaturgy
it was-stodgy at the start,
muddy around the center,
oozey at its close. It all looked
f little like a bumbling "B'
movie, which is rather fitting,
because it was.
The story was one of those
beddy British things about a
wealthy chap who was run
ning for Parliament, but
hose wife was threatening
V leave him, a bit of a fix,
rot? Just to complicate mat-
tars, his chauffeur was trying
to kidnap his wife, his chauf
feur's girl friend was trying
9.o rob his safe, a gossip col
umnist . was trying to black
mail him, and his housemaid
ts hysterical.
"What a situation," said the
ehp midway, "just . . . about
. . gs . . . dark . . . as . . . the
. . . night." Which summed it

Widening,
St. Discouraging, Duff Says
The proposed widening and
paving of Niantic st. is "one
of the most discouraging proj
ects we've had in a longtime,"
Medford City Manager Robert
A. Duff told the city council
last night.
Duff explained that the nar
row, dusty street should def
initely be improved since it is
carrying a "very heavy" traf
fic load. The council heard
Duffs discussion of the prob
lems involved, then referred
the matter to its executive
committee.
In other action last night,
the council:
1. Continued a public hear
ing on rezoning , property
owned by Harold Farr in the
Valley Center subdivision to
permit expansion of his trailer
coirt; v
Award Contract
2. Awarded a contract for
taxiway resurfacing at the city
airport; '
"3. Awarded another con
tract for a water main "on
Woodrow lane;
4. Turned down the Med
ford 20-30 club's .request to
use a loudspeaker downtown
for advertising the catfish der
by this week end.
With respect to Niantic st.,
Duff told the council that
some property owners in the
Austin st.-Maple st. stretch
were willing to give the city
necessary rights of way for
widening, while others were
holding out. Condemnation
proceedings, he said, would
appear necessary against the
hold-outs. In this case, the city
would have to pay whatever
damages the jury awarded
and assess the damages as part
of the project's cost against
all property owners involved.
First Assessment Project
"This is the first assessment
project of available records,"
according to a special report
of the council from the office
of Vernon Thorpe, city public
works director, "Where adja
cent property is required to
be assessed for the acquisition
of property for street widen
ing." Duff described the prospect
of assessing residents who
would give right of way for

yon behind his residence on
NW Germantown road. '
Clem was to be arraigned
today before Claire Mun
dorff , U.S. Commissioner.
The second man escaped, but
officers said his identity was
known and said they antici
pated an early arrest.
The still, constructed of 50-
gallon barrels alongside a
small stream, was destroyed
with an ax and all but six
gallons of the . liquor was
poured out. .

"grossly unfair."
He said the equitable solu
tion would be to institute con
demnation proceedings against
all the properties, then assess
the total damages against all
property owners
The costs, Duff said, would
be "quite severe." He suggest
ed that the city might contrib
ute funds to defray to some ex
tent the assessments to prop
erty owners. As an alterna
tive, he suggested that the
street widening could be fore
gone.

House Debates
Ike's Request To
Up Debt Ceiling
Washington - (UPD The
House begins debate today on
President Eisenhower's re
quest to raise the ceiling on
tiie nation's debt.
It appeared that some Re
publicans and Democrats
would speak out against the
size of the $286 billion in
debtedness. But the House
was virtually certain to ap
prove the proposal by a big
margin and sent it to the
Senate.
Eisenhower asked Congress
to boost the permanent debt
ceiling from $283 billion to
$288 billion and the tempor
ary limit from $288 to $295
billion. The increases are
needed to accommodate the
predicted debt of more than
$293 billion dollars next Dec.
15.
Permanent Level Trimmed
- The House Ways and Means
Committee went along with
the President's request for
the higher temporary maxi
mum. But it trimmed the pro
posed new permanent level
to $285 billion.
This means . Eisenhower
will have to come back to
Congress for another debt
limit extension in the 1960
election year when the $295
billion . temporary ceiling
would expire.
Other Congressional news:
Wheat: House Democratic
Whip Carl Albert (Okla.) said
chances are "excellent" that
Congress would work up an
other wheat bill to send Presi
dent Eisenhower despite the
House's rejection of a com
promise Senate-passed meas
ure Thursday. Albert, chair
man of the House wheat sub
committee, said the new
legislature would provide
higher price supports than
the defeated . measure.
Will Refuse To. Sign
Housing: Six members of
a Senate-House conference
committee which drafted a
$1,375,000,000 housing bill
said, they would refuse to
sign a report recommending
the legislation. However the
chairman, Sen. John Spark
man (D-Ala.) and Rep. Al
bert Rains (D-Ala.), chairman
of the House housing subcom
mitte, praised the bill. .
. Equal time: Robert W. Sar
noff, chairman of the Na
tional Broadcasting Co., said
television and radio coverage
of the i960 political cam
paigns would be curtailed
sharply unless Congress re
vised regulations governing
equal-time programs for cand
idiates. Sarnoff asked the
Senate Commerce Committee
to lift the "political gag" he
said was imposed by a- Fed
eral Communications Com
mission ruling that stations
must give all candidates
equal time if a rival appears
on a program, even a news
cast. . .

To Approve Plane
(Continued From Page 1)
The city parks and recrea
tion ; commission last month
asked the council for approv
al of preliminary plans call
ing for the pool, . a wading
pool and a bathhouse-with the
diving tank to be given.first
priority for , future develop
ment. ...
"I'm of the personal opin
ion," Mayor Snider comment
ed last night, "that the diving
area would never be built."
The parks and, recreation
commission, after the. council
failed to take action on the
pool plans May 21, asked last
week that Thompson appear
before the council with alter
native plans in an effort to
gain a decision. .
Integrating Facility
Thompson also discussed
the possibility of integrating
the diving facility with the
swimming pool in an U-shaped
design. He said this would be
impractical unless the pool it
self were enlarged, since with
a length of 75 feet the slope
to the depth necessary for
diving would be too steep.
Asked by one councilman
if other cities had pools only
five or five-and-a-half feet
deep, as proposed for the West
Jackson facility, Thompson
replied, "I don't know of any
in the state."
He added, however, that
even with the proposed dimen
sions he was "confident"
there would be '.'sufficient in
terest" in the pool. , !
More Ambitious Pool
Councilman Robert Baccus,
Ward III, spoke in favor of
a more ambitious indoor-out
door year-around pool, such
as the reportedly successful
$250,000 facility at Beaverton
or the more expensive one at
North Bend. Councilman Stan
Stark, Ward IV, was among
those opposing a bond issue,
which would be required to
raise such a large sum. ' r
Thompson estimated that
$90,000 would be sufficient
for the pool, diving tank and
otherN facilities outlined in the
preliminary plans.
The original sum of $75,000
budgeted for the. project is in
the form -of an: anticipated

ty Housing authority, . which

Actual Sum.
According to City Manager
Robert A. Duff, a housing au
thority member himself, twe
actual sum. is somewhere be
tween $70,000 and $75,000.
Thompson reported that
used pool filtration equip
ment becoming Available
through demolition of an old
swimming pool at th Univer
sity of Oregon in Eugene
would not be suitable, for the
proposed Medford . facility.
Duff had asked him to investi
gate this equipment it con
nection with the chance of ef
fecting economise in the West
Jackson pool project.
City Officials last year pre
dicted the pool would be com
pleted in time for use this
summer. But according to
Thompson, even if the pre
liminary plans had beenQap-
provea last night the pool
would not have been finished
until next February.
