Our current encounters with
Russian diplomacy should
serve as added warning that
to falter or to hesitate in deal
ing with Khrushchev can only
lead to more trouble.
The unrelenting pressure on
the free world by the Krem
lin can only be met by steady
and determined resoluteness,
For us to appear to be begging
the Communists for peace or
to try to go over their heads
to the Russian people will do
us no good.
The Russian people have no
voice in their dictatorship and
are being kept in total ignor
ance about the United States
and the conditions in the
world as a whole.
The situation-already bad
-could become even more seri
ous if we give Khrushchev
reason to think that we of the
West are weak, confused and
divided and that he can bluff
us intOv bargaining away our
rights and security by threats
of total destruction.
The visits to Russia by a
Vice President of the United
States would, under halfway
reasonable circumstances, be
seized upon by the Soviet gov
ernment to help towards a
more hopeful understanding.
But the Kremlin seems to pre
fer an atmosphere of crisis
and tension, because it best
serves its plan for govern
ment control and exploitation
of all its satellites and for
further expansion of the Com
munist world.
We sometimes make the mis
take of assuming that dicta
tors underestimate our
strength and determination to
resist them. I was sorry to
see the West give the impres
sion recently of being unable
to arrive at common decisions
in such matters as a Summit
meeting, how to cope with an
Man Dies While
Fishing Today

Lelan C. Young, 49, of 1394
Beekman ave., Medford, died
while fishing on the Rogue
river just above Elk Creek
bridge about 8 o'clock this

Fishing with Young was
Robert A. Campbell, 15, of
1393 Beekman ave. Campbell
said that he and Young were
preparing to come back to
town. He said that Young fell
into the river as he was at
tempting to wade back to
shore.
The water was about knee-
deep at that point, Campbell
said. Campbell dropped his
fishing equipment and ran
after Young and pulled him
from the river.
He applied artificial respi
ration and flagged a passing
truck to summon a doctor.
Young struck his head on a
rock as he fell, Campbell said,
and he made no apparent ef
fort to break his fall with his
hands.
Campbell said that he was
some distance behind Young
and that he- had to swim aft
er him, since he was floating
downstream.
They left on their fishing
trip about 5 a.m. today.
Funeral arrangements will

Rogue River Couple
Get $6,250 for Land
A circuit court jury yester
day awarded Irma M. and
William A. Starziager, Rogue
River, $6,250 for a parcel of
land in a condemnation suit in
connection with the new free
way. The state had offered $4,000
for the 6.7 acres, located on
the Rogue river near Savage
lake.
Mrs. Starzinger, executrix
for the estate of Ada Belle
Hill, had asked $8,750. She
stated in her answer to the
state's offer that the best use
of the land would be as build

Under present conditions,
one of the most important re

Our allies are free and, of
course, have views of their

has been a feeling on the
part of some of them that
we have lacked sympathy and

that this feeling grew out of

No Changes Needed
In School Budgets
School district budgets of
Medford and Eagle Point dis
tricts for 1959-60 were accept
ed without change this week
by County Assessor Ray
Schumacher. Earlier these
budgets were rejected by
Schumacher because of an ap
parent conflict with an attor
ney general's opinion.
Two other budgets, District

been invalidated, Schumach

reality for Medford last night.
The city council passed an
ordinance permitting jury
trials in municipal court forJ
all persons charged with of

costs if convicted.
Mayor John W. Snider said
after the meeting that he in

Communist Government
Of Kerala Dissolved
New Dehli, India (UPD
Rajendra Prasad today dis
solved the Communist gov
ernment of Kerala State
where Red abuse of power
brought mass protests and
seven weeks of riots and
shootings.
A proclamation put the
tiny state at the southern
tip of India under presi
dential rule, climaxing a
campaign by the anti-Communist
parties of heavily
Christian Kerala to oust the
Communist regime which
was elected in 1957.
Communist reaction was
not immediately apparent.
When the resistance pro

Retirement Pay
Increase Granted
An increase in retirement
pay for certain former city
employees gained unanimous
approval last night from the
Medford city council.
The increase, affecting a
maximum of nine 'persons,
was initiated by the 1959 Leg
islature subject to local appro
val. :
City officials estimate it
will cost the municipal coffers
$880 from Jan. 1 to June 30,
1960 and about $1,760 per fis
cal year thereafter. Since no
funds have been budgeted in
the 1959-60 fiscal year, the
money will have to be drawn
from th'i city s emergency
fund, reserved for unforeseen
needs.
The increase applies to those
who retired prior to May 1,
1953 and are not eligible for
social security benefits. It
amounts to a raise in monthly
retirement pay of $2 per year
of service with the city, and
brings the total monthly pay
to $6 per year of service.
In other action last night,
the council approved turning
over to School District 549C a
parcel of land in the- West
Jackson st. park area, on
West Jackson at Columbus
ave., to be used for a main
tenance shed. A district offi
cial reported today a contract
for the shed has already been
awarded to Jack Batzer, Med-
1 ford contractor, in the amount
of about $71,000. The city
school district transaction in
volves a quitclaim deed and
the district's payment of
$4,336.41 as its pro rata share
of the Columbus ave. paving
costs.
Three Killed in Car
Mishap Near,Bend
Bend -(UPD-A two-car colli
sion three miles north of here
today claimed the lives of
three persons. Four others
were hurt.
State police identified the
dead as Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Servas, Gladstone, Ore., and
Theodore Grombo, Wickliffe,
Ohio.
Court Jury Trials Approved
The defendant, in other
words, must expect to pay if
convicted a minimum of $35
for his jury trial , in addition
to whatever fine or sentence
might be imposed. These costs
would be exacted even if the
fine or sentence itself were
suspended.
But, should the defendant
be acquitted, the city must
picb up the tab for the jurors
and no other court costs
would be levied.
If the defendant starts off
by pleading guilty, no jury
trial, would be required, and
no costs would be involved.
Judge Deciding
In addition, defendants who
wish their day in court but
do not want the benefit of
a jury trial may have it-and
no court costs would be at
stake. The procedure would
be the same as the present
one, with the judge alone de
ciding the case.
As first drafted, the ordi
nance would have required
the $5 minimum court costs
for defendants convicted in
non-jury trials as well. But
Councilman Al Bradford,
Ward II, last night introduced
an amendment limiting these
costs to the jury trials. The
amendment was approved by

that the Jackson county hous

Damages Not
Awarded in Suit
A circuit court jury yester
day awarded no damages to
Mrs. Evelyn Lawhorn, Red-,

with traffic accident that oc
curred in March, 1957, on
Highway 99 south of Ashland.
Defendants in the case were
Lloyd C. and Robert L. Hin
richs, operators of Lloyd's
Wrecker Service. Mrs. Law
horn was asking $12,306.50
for permanent injuries she al
legedly suffered in the acci
dent. She charged that a tow
truck was being operated by
the Hinrichs in a negligent
fashion in the Siskiyous dur
ing a snow storm, and that
this-resulted in a collision be
tween a car driven by her hus
band and the truck.
The defendants answered
that the accident was a direct
result of the plaintiff's negli
fence. A i. umber of points
were in controversy during
the trial.
all but Councilman Don Han
sen, Ward II, who stated that
guilt alone, and not the na
ture of the trial, should de
termine whether court costs
would be paid.
A person desiring a trial
by jury must, under the new
ordinance, request it of the
municipal judge in writing at
least one week prior to his
trial date. He must include
with the request a $30 jury
fee deposit. If he is acquitted,
this deposit is refunded.
Jury Selection
How are the juries selected?
Following the mayor's signa
ture, which would make the
ordinance official, the city recorder-treasurer
must compile
the names of all registered
voters on the city's tax rolls
who are qualified under Ore
gon law and not-entitled to
exemption.
From these names, 200 are
selected by lot. These com
prise the preliminary list. The
first list to be chosen is to
remain in effect through 1960.
Thereafter, the lists will be
prepared yearly.
The court is divided into
four-month terms. For each
term, a jury panel of 25
names is selected, again by

Sources Say West
May Propose to
Resume Meetings
Aug. 5 Deadline
Eyed by Ministers
Geneva- (UPD -The Big Four
speeded up their Geneva talks
against a fast-narrowing Aug.
5 deadline today. Conference
sources said the West prob
ably will propose resuming
them at the United Nations in
September to avoid a danger
ous East-West break-off.
Western and Soviet experts
worked this morning on tech
nical details of a possible Ber
lin truce agreement, which
they were presenting to the
ministers this afternoon in an
other secret get-together at
the villa of Russia's Andrei A.
Gromyko.
If such a truce were worked
out it probably would include
a ban on rocket and nuclear
weapons in Berlin. The ex
perts' job was to define ex
actly what kind of weapons
would be included.
Remain Poles Aptrt
However, the West and
Russia remained such poles
apart on all major issues of
principle that it appeared only
a miracle or a major back
down could wrest agreement
out of their present deadlock
before Wednesday night's
final deadline.
The West, however, still
hoped to head off a break-up
in anger that might drive the
Russians into some hasty
move such as signing a sep
arate peace treaty immediate
ly with the East German
Reds, as Nikita Khrushchev
repeatedly has threatened to
do if the Geneva talks col
lapse. This could touch off an
other Berlin crisis.
The western allies, confer
ence sources said, probably
will propose to Gromyko be-"

talks should be resumed in
September at the U.N. where
all the foreign ministers will
