Workshop Seminar Offered To Improve Sonq Commercials Br DOC QUIGG UPI Correspondent New York (WD - The singing commercial, an institution as American as the apple pie or if you prefer-the rattlesnake or the poison ivy, is reaching for a new pinnacle of dignity. A local firm that manufac tures singing commercials is offering a series of workshop seminars to which advertising agencies can send their flan- nel-bearing personnel. There "they will get schooling in the loftiest qualities of the jingle music that sells. Just when in history the singing commercial burst up on the public is a matter of some dispute. One school holds that the first usage occurred in the dim past when the first cave mother sang to her tot the first primitive lullaby ex tolling the superior virtues of sleep. Among the subjects to be examined at the seminar are "the trend towards better jingles" and "sound effects can be beautiful." The project is being offered by Forrell, Young Farmers Plan On First Banquet The Jackson County Young Farmers club plans on 1,000 persons attending the new 4-H dinner at 6:30 pjn. Fri day, Aug. 28, in the National Guard Armory, according to Chairman Frank Hunt, mem ber of the Young Farmers. The dinner is for 4-H mem bers, their families, leaders and specially invited guests, and the general public. Gretchen Wade, Medford, will be narrator for the 4-H style review to be shown dur ing the dinner, Hunt said. Russ Simmons, Medford, will serve the dinner. Awards won at the Jackson county 4-H and FFA fair will be presented after the dinner. The public may purchase tickets at the Young Farmers' food booth at the fair or from any one of the Young Farm ers, Hunt said. Newark, N.J.-flJPB-James M.

Russia Joins Attacks The Laotian government at Vietiane in what was once French Indo-China, has accus ed the Communist forces of Ho Chi Minh, leader of North Viet Nam, of sending arms and troops into Laos. The Communists have tried Keeps Convention The announcement came only eight hours before But ler's ultimatum to throw open bids to other cities for the convention if his terms were not met. Local civic and party lead ers formed a new host com mittee succeeding the one led by oilman Edwin Pauley who bowed out of the affair, de clining, a post in the new group. He remained at- his Honolulu estate, not bother ing to attend Monday's meet ing. Executive Chairman Dan A. Kimball, former Navy secretary and now pres ident of Aerojet Genera-1 Corp., will r--n the new com mittee as its executive chair man. Mayor Norris Poulson and County Supervisor Frank G. Bonelli will serve as the Thomas and Polack Associ ates, an outfit that has con fected and put on radio and TV more than 60 singing com mercials. "Music and singing can put across any sales message," said Gene Forrell, a partner of the firm, in a news confer ence announcing the seminar. "For example, the next presi dential campaign will be the most musical in history." It wouldn't have to go far to set that record. There was some attempt at convention time in 1956 to get the song fires blazing. The Democrats made a determined effort with a song that began, "Oh, the Democratic Party is for you -and you-and you t . ." It turned out to be something less than a national race. They also had one, donated by Alan Jay Lerner and set to the tune of one of the hit songs of his musical "My Fair Lady," that opened with the forthright assertion that "we'll start campaigning in the morn ing" and had as its refrain: "Adlai's gonna win this time." Somehow or other, it not only never got off the ground-it didn't even leave the hangar. The Messrs. Forrell, Thom as, and Polack, however, are monstrously clever and could be just the ones to put music into politics. They've done it with fire prevention. As a pub lic service to the city for a fire prevention drive they've written a song. . One of its rhymes goes: "I overloaded an electric socket and now I'm stone cold dead in de mocket." Grants Pass, Local Man Held in Jail John Corbell, 19, of Grants Pass, and Lyman Stubbs, 21, of 2811 North Pacific high way, Medford, are being held in the county jail on charges of statutory rape, according to the Jackson county sher iffs office. The two youths were ar rested Saturday night at a local dance hall by sheriffs officers. Two teenage Med ford girls apprehended as runaways Wednesday were involved with the two youths, sheriffs deputies said. The girls were apprehended in Eureka, Calif. The youths were arrested . on a warrant from the district attorney's office. to make the United States the scapegoat for the civil war and Russia has joined the at tacks. The official Soviet news agency Tass said Mon day Laos had violated its neu trality by bringing in U. S. military personnel. Tass said a "serious threat of civil war" existed in Laos and that the responsibility for it "lies with the present gov ernment of Laos led by Pre mier Phoui Sananikone." Tass said the U. S. military new committee's co-chairmen, the same posts they held in the original committee. Mark Boyar, developer and southern California finance head of the Democratic Na tional Committee, will be head of the new finance com mittee, taking the post previ ously held by Pauley. Boyar told Butler he ex pected to raise a total of $450,000 to bring the conven tion here. Hopes to Raise Money He said he hoped to raise the money-which includes, as did the original bid, $100,000 pledged jointly by the city and county-through uncondi tional pledges not predicated on the sale of convention tickets. Pauley had planned to sell the hoped-for 5,000 tickets to the highest bidder in order to raise the cash. He had fought against giving up program revenues and other "fringe benefits" such as paying cer tain construction costs at the convention as well as for the large bloc of tickets. Donald Arant Takes Des Moines Job Donald L. Arant, former Medford resident, has been named a field supervisor by Bankers Life company, Des Moines, Iowa, and will move to the home office where he will work on assignments with agencies across the coun try.

Portlanders Face Property Tax Hike Portland (UPD Portlanders face a six per cent boost in their property tax bills next November. This was the statement is sued Monday by County As sessor Joe Hawkins. The tax boost compares with a 13.2 per cent jump last year. Hawkins said the hike is the lowest here in the past three or four years. But he predicted a continued rise. "With higher costs and higher needs, it's a forlorn hope that taxes can be low ered," the assessor declared.

Pilots Said Involved An earlier broadcast by Peiping radio said U. S. pilots were actively involved in the fighting between government and rebel troops. In another development, Chinese Communist Foreign Minister Chen Yi issued a statement accusing the United States of exploiting the civil war in Laos to "poison" the international atmosphere. He warned that "imperialism" was threatening the security of Red China. Two Injured in Highway 66 Mishap Two persons were injured in a two car collision Sunday morning on Highway 66 at Lincoln, state police reported.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) If Gov. Mark Hatfield should de cide to run for the Senate next year against Sen. Richard L. Neuberger, as some D e m o crats have speculated he might, Hat field would be the first Ore gon governor a. Bnbt. smith ever io a oan don the governor's office be fore completing his first term. This historical circumstance, plus its political implications, is perhaps the strongest single factor that would work against Hatfield challenging Neuberger. This, at least, is the analysis of Neuberger as sociates. They point out that Hatfield has already jumped twice mid way through a term of office -running for Secretary of State in 1956 midway through a term as state senator, then last year running for Gover nor before finishing his first term as Secretary of State. Another 'Free Ride If he ran against Neuberger next year, Hatfield w o u 1 d have to give up the governor's office in order to campaign! against Neuberger for the Sen ate, and if he lost he would go back to being governor two more years. But the Neuber ger camp believes that Hat field would be unwilling to risk public indignation at ap pearing simply to use each of the successive offices he has held as a launching pad for a higher office before complet ing the job to which he had previously been elected. As one of them put it: "If Hatfield dumps the gov ernorship, we can ask who knows but what he won't throw over his Senate office in a few years to run for Hol lywood." The Oregon Historical Soci ety, researching the tenure of the state's chief executives for the past 100 years, has furnished Neuberger forces with a documented paper which shows that Oregon gov ernors have left office before FAILURE FOILS SALE New York (TJPD - Television salesman Jack Gilbert had just wrapped up a sale Mon day when the electricity went off in this city's worst power failure in history.

None ever departed to seek another office. Entertaining Hope But Hatfield has already in dicated he is entertaining the hope of being the Republican vice presidential candidate next year, which shows he is willing to leap to a higher perch if opportunity permits. The Neuberger answer to this point is that a state is usually quite proud to give one of its sons to the Nation, so to speak, for that lofty post a heartbeat from the presidency itself. And even if some indignation at his leaving the governor ship should show itself local ly, Hatfield could still be elected vice president' if the GOP did well nationally no matter how Oregon's rela tively small number of voters reacted to his candidacy. These same expectations could not be held by Hatfield if he ran for the Senate next year against Neuberger, for the re action of Oregon voters alone would determine the outcome. Coupled with the tradition of Oregon governors filling out their initial four-year terms, the Neuberger camp feels confident Hatfield won't First Five Years Pay Half You pay about 50c per dollar of the eventual premium Second Five Years Pay Three-Quarters You pay about 75c per dollar of the eventual premium After Ten Years You start to pay the eventual premium THE UUMDRNflKr These machines perform all your wash day duties.

No one would know who would be governor for the bal ance of Hatfield's term, if he beat Neuberger, for his suc cessor would be chosen by a vote of the incoming state Senate in 1961. Picture the Senator Neuberger's friends picture the senator, an artist at turn ing words into political imag ery, touring the state telling the voters that a vote for Hat field is a vote to turn the state's most exhalted single office over to an unknown pol itician, a faceless fellow chos en by 16 men instead of the voters of Oregon all because the handsome young Hatfield to whom they had entrusted the governorship just two years before was now seeking a higher office for himself. Neuberger forces, obviously, are not unprepared to take on Hatfield. But they are prepar ed for a battle they think will never be fought. They think GOP pressure will be strong est on Hatfield to challenge Sen. Wayne Morse in 1962 when his first term is up and none of these factors will weigh against him.
