Jury Trials To Be

The city of Medford will
provide jury trials in munici

even though it has no funds
budgeted to pay for the added
expense, it was reported to
day.
The 1959 legislature passed
a little-noticed law requiring
that jury trials be made pos

But no funds to pay the extra
costs were included in the
city's budget this year.

The unpredictable, Long
telephoned Gov. Burroughs
and invited him to the Town

two state officials spent an
hour and a half together.
Long did not retire until
3 a.m. today, but he dropped
off to sleep so ? deeply that
his frightened aides, mistak

called a doctor and a nurse

Eisenhower
Tax Cut in Remaining Months on Job
Washington OTPD President
Eisenhower sees no chance of
a real tax cut during his 18 re
maining months in office even
though he hopes for a Treas
ury surplus of $2 to $5 billion
in fiscal 1961.
The chief executive feels
thai 'the' government should
have at least one year of a
Budgeted
sitate a full-time city judge,
and more hours of service by
the city attorney. In addition,
jury fees will be required, he
pointed out.
Present Plans
Duff said it is planned at
present to select a jury as the
need arises, and then meet the
costs, probably from the city's
emergency fund
Reeder questioned the need
for the act, stating that citi
zens already are guaranteed a
trial by jury through munici
pal courts, because all cases
can be appealed to a higher
court with a jury trial.
Some of Oregon's larger
cities already provide for trial
by jury.
The first section of the act
states that "In all prosecutions
for any crime or offense de
fined and made punishable by
any city charter or ordinance,
the defendant shall have the
right to trial by jury, of six
in number and juries shall be
selected from the latest tax
roll and registration books
used at the last city election
in the same manner in which
juries are selected for circuit
courts."
Jury Feet Discussed
Concerning jury fees, the
act says:
"Where provision is made
for the payment of jury fees
by the defendant to insure a
jury trial, and where the de
fendant is found not guilty,
the deposit shall be returned
to him."
There is some speculation
that smaller towns in Oregon
will test the act in court, using
the Constitutional home rule
provision as grounds for oppo
sition
, Reeder said he expects to
discuss the new legislation
with Robert Moulton, special
attorney for the League of
Oregon Cities, Eugene, while
he is in Medford Wednesday.

West Said Ready
To Halt Meetings
Geneva-(UPD-The West warn
ed Russia's Andrei Gromyko
today that it is prepared to
see the Geneva Big Four Con
ference broken off unless he
immediately drops his fili
buster against, a Berlin truce.
The East-West negotiations
could break down within sev
eral days-possibly Wednesday
-unless Gromyko starts talk
ing business, the western min
isters declared at a showdown
lunch meeting in Gromyko's
own headquarters.
Patience Runs Out
The move made it clear
that western patience had run
out after 7Vfe weeks of Geneva
foreign ministers' talks that
brought East and West no
where near agreement on
Berlin. . . . -
It also was made clear that
the West was in full agree
ment to face the risks that
might go along with a break
in talks. This included the
risk of a hotter Berlin crisis
if Russia carried out its threat
to conclude a separate peace
treaty and cut off western
rights in West Berlin.
Gromyko's Idea Rejected
The West flatly rejected
Gromyko's All-German Com
mission idea on the grounds
it would give the Communist
East Germans, who rule a 17
million population, the same
status as the Bonn govern
ment freely elected by 50 mil
lion West Germans.
Herter already had warned
Gromyko that continued in
sistence on the All-German
Committee as the price of a
Berlin truce might weir lead

Third Well for
Additional Water

though "several , thousand"

He said the same goes for

The Oregon Democrat told
a news conference he has been
"deeply moved" by the "per
sonal friendship and political
loyalty'' expressed in requests
that he become Oregon's fa
vorite son.
"Nevertheless," he said, "I
am advising my friends that
I am not a candidate for the

nation and I am urging them
not to place my name on the
ballot in the 1960 Oregonjires-

Statement to Appling
Under Oregon law, the in
dividual's name, can be placed
on the ballot unless the per
son specifically requests that
it be kept off.
Accordingly, Morse said he
is sending a notarized, sworn
affidavit to that effect tg Ore
gon Secretary of State Howell
Appling. The Oregon primary
is next May.
Under questioning, Morse
said he would not personally
support" any one Democratic
presidential candidate in the

that "it is my hone that in I
1960, the name of each party
leader . who , has recognized,
widespread national support
for his party's presidential
nomination will appear on the

ballot."
Candidates Listed
In the case of his party,

Temporary Order
Issued in Suit
About Sprinklers
Circuit Judge James M.
Main yesterday afternoon
granted a temporary restrain
ing order, forbidding the city
of Medford to enforce a city
ordinance requiring installa
tion of fire sprinkler systems
in the basements of two down
town buildings.
Judge Main said to refuse
the restraining order would
be like denying the owners
of the buildings their day in
court.
Joel B. Reeder, city attor
ney, represented Medford in
the show cause action, as to,
why the city should not be en
joined temporarily from en
forcing the ordinance while
the several cases arising out
of the ordinance are pending
trial. George Roberts repre
sented Fluhrer Building, Inc.,
and Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Cross
man, San Francisco, owners
and managers of the Medical
Center building.
Sprinkler Systems
A section of the city ordi-.
nance pertains to installation
of complete sprinkler systems,;
and would require them in the
basements of the Fluhrer
building at 5 South Central,
ave. and the Medical Center
ave.
A total of eight complaints
were filed in circuit court
May 29 by the owners of a
i . j i
numoer u uuwuwwu uu""
ings; The plaintiffs are asking
that "trip Htv's 1957 fire Dre-
vention ordinance, or at least
the sprinkler system require
ment, be nullified.
Warren Olson, 1430 Euclid
ave.. manager of the Fluhrer
building, and Crossman, who
manages the Medical Center
building for his wife, the ac
tual owner, testified yesterday
afternoon. Both said installa
tion of sprinkler systems in
the basements of their build
ings would be expensive.
Olson said installation or
the sprinkler system would
handicap use of the basement
selling section of Barker's
men's store.
Crossman said a sprinkler
system has been installed in
the boiler room of .the Medi
cal Center building and in the
receiving room used by Wool-
worth's store. Woolworth's, he
said, would prefer not to have
the sprinkler system installed
in the rest of the basement
since it would interfere with
their storage, and experience
in . their several chain stores
has indicated it is not neces
sary. Roberts argued that the city
ordinance is unconstitutional
from the standpoint of Oregon
and federal constitutions, is
void because of its indefinite-
ness and is unreasonable since
it gives the fire marshal or
fire chief the power to deter
mine if a crime has been com
mitted in violation of his
order.
Unemployment Claims

Salem (UPD Despite weath
er conditions favorable to out

Curtails
The electrical equipment
trouble Monday cut out all
but one pump, Voth said. The
water company has been
pumping about 12 million gal
lons of water a day during the
current hot spell. The single
pump has a capacity of about
3,000 gallons a minute or
4,320,000 gallons during a 24
hour dayt Voth said.
The trouble occurred in the
water company's equipment
and was not a power outage,
officials said.
