Higher Gas Tax
Almost Certain
Within 40 Days
All Signs Indicate
Boost by Congress
Washington -UP&-It seemed
almost certain this week end
that the nation's motorists
will be hit with an increase
in the federal gasoline tax
within the next 40 days.
All signs indicate that Con
gress, confronted with a
choice of two evils, will boost
the present 3-cents-a-gallon
tax rather than permit a tem
porary shutdown in the fed
eral highway construction
program.
The big question-to which
motorists may get some an
swers this week-is how high
will the tax be raised.
Democrats on two powerful
House committees are locked
in a furious intra-party battle
over that issue.
The Democratic - controlled
House Public Works commit
tee insist that's too- heavy a
bite.
Want Hike Cut
As the price of sending the
highway-financing legislation
to the floor, they want the
increase cut back to a half
cent or so a gallon. Tax legis
lation traditionally is consid
ered in the House under a
rule prohibiting amendments.
Speaker Sam Rayburn has
urged the rebellious Demo
crats on the Public Works
committee to go along with
the recommendations of Ways
and Means.
But they insisted that it s
up to Ways and Means to back
down, if Congress is to act to
meet the highway - financing
crisis.
"We're not going to have
something jammed down our
throats," one of the balking
Democrats on the Public
Works committee insisted Sat
urday. Ouick Settlement
Rayburn wants the issue
settled quickly.
"The speaker is going to
have to knock some heads to
gether early next week," ob
served one neutral lawmaker.
President Eisenhower re
- quested a one and a half cent
increase. The proposed one
cent would require some cut
back in the scheduled alloca
tions of federal highway
funds this summer.
Once it passes the House,
-the legislation would face a,
determined drive in the Sen
ate to reduce the increase.
Norblad Charges
Labor Fought Him
Washington-(DPD-Rep. Walt
er Norblad (R-Ore.) Saturday
charged that labor contributed
more than $10,000 in an effort
to defeat him in the last con
gressional election.
Norblad made the charge
in a letter to James B. Carey,
president of the International
Union of Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers.
The Oregon lawmaker was
among 229 members of the
House who received letters
from Carey, threatening po
litical reprisal. All had voted
for the Griffin-Landrum re
form bill.
Norblad called Carey's let
ter a "disservice to the union
movement and its members.
"The great majority of them
(union members) will be
ashamed of your effort to in
timidate," the congressman
wrote to Carey.
Norblad accused labor of
trying to defeat him in 1958.
"The records show that labor
contributed in excess of $10,
000 to my opponent in an
effort to defeat me in the last
election," he said.

$9 a Pound Bid on White Rabbit
A livestock auction Friday
night climaxed week-long
events at the Jackson county
4-H and FFA fair at the county
fair grounds here.
This was the last main
event of the fair. Saturday
evening farm trailers were
feeing backed up to the various
fair barns and former prize
exhibits were either carried,
or were led into the various
conveyances for the home
ward journey. .
Dusty and tired 4-H and
FFA youngsters munched on
their last hamburgers or hot
dogs as they supervised the
loading operations.
.The fair was all over Sat
urday night but for the shout

when the fair awards, other
than ribbons, are presented
during the first annual 4-H
fair dinner in the National
Guard armory near the fair
grounds next Friday. The
Jackson County Young Farm

Saturday's events wound up
with dairy showmanship, and
a tractor-driving contest.
Rabbit High
Friday night's livestock auc

rabbit take the
highest per-pound price bid
that night, and perhaps during
any of the livestock auction
nights. It was $9 a pound given
for the 4V2 pound champion
market rabbit exhibited by
John Bradshaw, member of
the 4-H Peter Rabbit Misfits.
Buyer was Phillip Nye, Phoe

This was the only rabbit on
the auction block.
A top price was also bid
on a pen of chickens $2.50
a pound for a champion mar

Frink Brothers
Win Tractor Test
Jim Frink of Central Point
took first place in the senior
division of a tractor - driving
contest Saturday afternoon at
the 4-H FFA county fair.
Russell Frink, his brother,
also of Central Point, took
top honors in the junior di
vision. Eight youngsters pitted
their driving skill and knowl
edge of. tractor safety in a
serpentine course, obstacle
run and written test in the
tractor competition.
Other place winners were
Bob Kuest, Central Point,
senior, second; Tom Herriott,
Applegate, junior, second;
David Christensen, Applegate,
senior, third; and Greg
Schmidt Central Point, junior,
third.
The youngsters each drove
a tractor, one of six donated
by local dealers, along a zig
zag route similar to a slalom
course. Six barrels were set
up in a line, 20 feet apart,
and the boys had to weave
the tractor through them -with
a trailer attached.
Then they did it backwards.
They also drove through an
obstacle course in which a
plow had to be hitched and
un-hitched from the tractor.
They were checked for
both speed and safety in the
events, and a written test on
tractor safety was also con
sidered in the judging.

Bray, professional livestock
auctioneer in this area, ac
knowledged a number of "old
reliables" and some new bid
ders on the scene. Bidders
ranged from automobile com
panies, to doctors, to logging
companies, and markets. The
various meat companies and
groceries of the area carried
much of the burden for the
bidding.
Average sale price for swine
Friday night was 36 cents per
pound.
Beef Not as Well
Beef did not dp as well as
the other divisions in bid pric
es received. However, the 4-H
and FFA youngsters display
ed their skill in handling the
beef animals irf the sawdust
ring under . the bright show
lights as the auctioneer's chant
and the barked bid acceptance
from his assistants kept the
hefty animals edgy.
Marilyn Watson, Central
Point 4-H member, received
75 cents, a pound, however,
from the Groceteria for her
1,100 pound grand champion
prime grade Hereford. A
grand champion, high choice
grade Angus owned by Rus

bid prices between the ani
mals receiving the first bid
in each division and the oth
ers. Average price for beef
was 40 cents per pound, up
5 cents from -last year's aver
age price.
Fair officials were well

Action Predicted
By Middle of Week
Washington -(UPD- House-
Senate conferees on the con
troversial labor union reform
bill were swamped this week
end with letters and telegrams
demanding a strong measure.
They reported a "phenome
nal" volume of mail since
they started work last week
ironing out differences be
tween the stricter bill passed
by the House and the milder
measure approved by the
Senate.
They said the mail was
running heavily in favor of
the stiffer House Landrum
Griffin version.
Most non-controversial is
sues already have been set
tled. On Monday, the con
ferees will tackle disputed
provisions which would curb
secondary boycotts and or
ganizational picketing and
close a jurisdictional gap be
tween federal and state pro
visions for dealing with labor
cases.
Action Predicted
Two conferees from the
House predicted final action
on a compromise measure by
the middle of this week.
A check of the conferees'
offices showed that most of
the hundreds of telegrams
they have received came from
businessmen, but letters were
pouring in from plain citizens
as well. -
Rep. Carroll D. Kearns (R
Pa.) said his mail volume was
"out of this world." He has
already hired two extra sec
retaries and plans to add two
more. Kearns said he had re
ceived 1,500 telegrams alone
in three days.
Rep. Carl D. Perkins (D
Ky.), who' voted against the
Landrum-Griffin bill in the
House, said he is getting 300
telegrams a ; day from busi
nessmen urging him to back
it in the conference commit
tee. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R
Ariz.) received more mail on
the bill last week than on any
subject in his senate career.
His aides counted 2,249 letters
and telegrams, about 1,900 for
the Landrum-Griffin bill and
about 300 from labor interests
opposing it.' Aides said about
one third of the pro Landrum
Griffin mail came from busi
nessmen. Rep. Graham A. Barden (D
N.C.) chairman of the House
Labor committee ,said he is
getting 600 to 700 pieces of
mail daily, much of it hand
written letters from average
citizens.
"In 25 years in congress, I
have never before seen a piece
of legislation that so aroused
the people," he said.

Hiking Grandma
From Gallipolis
Welcomed Here
The Kiwanis county fair's
favorite visitor Friday eve
ning was Mrs. Emma Gate
wood, the spry cross-country
hiker from Gallipolis, Ohio.
Mrs. Gatewood, 71, the
.charming grandmother who
braved hot sun and hoards of
shutterbugs to walk 2,200
miles to Oregon to help this
state celebrate its Centennial
arrived at Medford airport
Friday afternoon. She was
greeted by Medford Mayor
John W. Snider, with whose
mother, Mrs. Maude M. Sni
der, she was a houseguest this
week end.
Mrs. Gatewood flew from
North Bend, after winding up
a tour of the Oregon seacoast
by gleaning two gay kerchiefs
from the Coos Bay Pirates.
Among her brightest memor
ies of , the coast excursion
were a trip up the Rogue
river from Gold Beach and a
chance to stee'r a Coast Guard
boat on the high seas.
Russ Jamison, fair mana
ger, escorted Mrs. Gatewood
to the armory stage Friday
evening with Pat Rushton,
Miss Jackson county.
Tour of Exhibits
After introducing "the two
best-looking ladies in Jackson
county," Jamison took Mrs.
Gatewood on a tour of the
exhibits on the armory floor.
Among those that absorbed
her interest were Marcel Le
Piniec's botanical exhibit, the
exhibition of paintings and
Kogap Lumber Industries' dis
play of forest product utiliza
tion. Mrs. Gatewood then took
the arm of Medford Police
Chief Charles P. Champlin,
and, flanked by Jamison, was
escorted to the livestock auc
tion at the 4-H, FFA fair next
door. Here she was intro
duced again, and received a
warm welcome.
After signing autographs
at the auction, she returned
to thejarmory for one more
introduction before retiring.
Saturday, Mrs. Gatewood
visited Crater Lake with May
or Snider, his mother, and
other relatives. Otherwise, she
took it easy. She reportedly
plans to leave Monday for Eu
reka, Calif.
While stating emphastically
that "the head is more impor
tant than the heels" (if the
one doesn't want to, the oth
ers won't), Mrs. Gatewood re
ported that comfortable foot
wear is also important for
long walks.
She said she wore heavy
nylon hose on the trip to Ore
gon, . and men's cloth shoes
with Dr. Scholl's arch sup
ports. She Said she started off
with six pair of hose, and still
had one left.
