. Washington-flJPD-President Eisenhower announced today
that the United States is using every facility available to
prevent airplanes based in Florida from making unauthorized
flights over Cuba. " T v r
The President made the announcement at his news con
ference in commenting on Premier Fidel Castro's angry
charges that the U.S. has countenanced the "bombing" of
Havana by planes flying from U.S. airfields.
Eisenhower told reporters that Attorney General William
P. Rogers is making every effort to keep planes from taking
off in Florida and flying illegally over Cuba.
Many Airfields Make Job Difficult
He said, however, that this is a difficult job because
there are more than 200 airfields in Florida and most of them
are crowded with private planes. .
At the same time, the President said he was puzzled by
Castro's bitter attacks on the U.S., particularly in the light
of the long record of American assistance to that country.
In effect, he gently reminded Cuba that the U.S. is her
best trade customer.
- The State Department Tuesday denounced Castro's ac
oncatinns as "utterly unfounded" and voiced U.S. "Shock
and amazement" at them. Cuban President Osvaldo Dorticos
rejected the U.S. "viewpoints' presented to him in a memor
andum and said tuba was considering sending a note. to
Washington. ' , , , ,.
Eisenhower pointed out that the U.S. helped Cuba gain
from SDain and had a long history of try
ing to help that country solidify its independence and in
crease its trade. .
The President mentioned frequent American trade con
,inr. to Cuba, the fact that, the U.S. is Cuba's principal
market and the long history of close relations between the
two countries. He then said this makes it a puzzling matter
to figure out why the Cuban govenment , is so unhappy
with the U.S. ' v '
Possible Motivations Not Discussed - -
When asked what he thought was "eating' Castro, Jhe
President replied that he would not discuss possible motiva
tions of the man. He added, however, that he did believe
that Cuba was a country which one might think on the basis
of past history would be a real friend of the U.S. , .
Meanwhile, Enrique Perez Cisnreos, Cuba's delegate to
the Organization of American States, urged that the U.S.
take "firm and precise measures'; to prevent anti-Cuban
activities on U.S. soil. He said recent incidents have caused
"reasonable and understandable" indignation in Cuba.
The five-nation Inter-American Peace Committee met to
day with U.S. legal authorities for a report on what steps
are being taken against Cuban exiles. The U.S. had invited
the committee to investigate the situation.. v ;

Expansion Program at
Golf Course Planned
An expansion program at
the Rogue Valley Country
club, which will add nine
new holes to the golf course
and cost an estimated $100,
000, was announced today.
; James Dunlevy, manager of
the club, said the improve
ments are being put in. by the
Golf Holding company, the
private firm which owns and
operates the country club fa
cilities under contract with
the club itself.
; The new fairways will be
to the southeast and east of
the present golf course, in an
area bounded by Barnett rd.,
the Phoenix-Hillcrest rd., and
Hillcrest rd. It will be in a
rough L-shape of nearly 100
acres, with homes in the
Country Club Estates area
surrounded on three sides by
fairways.
Work already has started,
Dunlevy said, in clearing the
land and improving drainage.
It is hoped to have, the new
course ready for use by early
next falL
Johnson. . 59, . .,also..Glendale,
another : passenger, was not
injured

mary Schleigh that a com
plaint would be signed against

Game law Violators
To Face Civil Courts
Portland -(DPD - The State
Game Commission said today
that in addition to criminal
penalties now imposed, game
law violators in the future
will face civil court action for
unlawfully killing game ani
mals. ; j. : ;-. .vr '" -,
Such court action would be
instituted against the offend
er by the state for collection
of damages to the public game
resources.
Use of the new nine holes
will be integrated with the
present operation of the club,
although exact details have
yet to be worked out, Dun
levy reported, yr.
Reason for the expansion,
he said, is to provide addi
tional facilities for golf in ah
area where the demand now
exceeds the available playing
area. Growing population, and
growing popularity , of the
sport, now are overtaxing the
fairways at the club, he ex
plained. In addition, a whole
new generation of potential,
golfers now is growing up,
Dunlevy said, and it is hoped
that the expansion can better
serve these young people as
they are learning.
The course is being de
signed by Fred Federspiel,
Oswego, noted golf course
landscape architect, who has
designed, among - other
courses, a -new one at Olym
pia, Wash., and the well
known Royal Oak course at

Acted on Later
If the decision "is delayed
Applegate may be left out
of the preliminary plan and
acted on later, Mekvold ex
plained. Administrative districts on
which hearings were held
were Districts Nos. 4, (Phoe
nix), 6 (Central Point), 59
(Prospect), and 549 (Medford).
Only objection raised was
in the form of a signed state
ment by Barnett rd. area resi
dents . who oppose sending
their children to Phoenix
schools when they live within
I the Medford city limits. How
ever, the reorganization com
mittee decided to leave the
boundary line as it is.
Frank Van Dyke, .Medford
attorney, presented the state
ment of objection signed by
28 parents. The statement said
the existing boundary line is
unfair to children in the Bar-
nett rd. area who have to at
tend Phoenix schools, "de
priving them of the privilege
of attending Medford schools."
Sending pupils from the
Barnett rd. area to Medford
instead of Phoenix would
eliminate construction of dup
licate school facilities by the
Phoenix district and save
taxes, according to the state
ment.
Reaffirms Boundary
Continuing its meeting af
ter the hearing, the commit
tee reaffirmed the boundary
line between the two districts,
The school district boundary
board after considerable study
and on the site inspection had
established the present bound
ary line, it . was noted.
At its Sept. 8 meeting the
boundary board noted that
both district school boards ap
proved the boundary.
The committee also approv
ed the recommendation from
the joint meeting of the Talent-Phoenix
school : boards
that the newly consolidated
district elect board members
from seven zones, but that the
entire district be allowed to
vote on all candidates. There
would be seven zones, three
for the Talent-Wagner area
and four for Phoenix proper,
under the proposal. Zoning
would follow the same policy
in all other school districts,
the committee decided.

Three Doctors' Offices
Entered During Night
Three separate buildings
housing doctor's offices were
entered during the night, city
police learned this morning.
Approximately $160 was tak
en, police said.
The offices of three doctors,
Ralph Thompsen, Edwin R.
Durno and Russell G. Barnes
were entered at the Physic
ians and Surgeons building,
902 East Main st. The entry
was discovered at 5:20 a.m.
Police said a window had
been forced to gain entrance
to the building then several
door jambs inside were split
to enter the various offices.
Taken from a desk drawer in
Dr. Barnes' office was $21.50,
police said. Nothing was re
ported taken from Dr. Thomp
sen's office. Although an at
tempt had been made to enter
the .office of Dr. Durno, the
door was not forced.
Government Asks
Supreme Court To
Hasten Decision
Union Opposes
Interference
Washington - (DPD - The gov
ernment urged the Supreme -Court
today to speed up action
on an injunction to send the
striking steelworkers back to
work, but the union said a
delay would not "irraparably
damage" the nation.
The Justice Department
asked the court to set up a
timetable requiring the union
to file by noon Thursday its
appeal against a back to work
order or lose the six-day stay
set by an appeals court.
The union, in a counter
brief, declared readiness to
file a petition for review of
the case by Friday morning
but opposed any speed up that
would interfere with the six
day stay.
Negotiation Urged
' In the midst of the 'legal
maneuvering, President Eisen
hower again urged that stqel
management and union con
tinue with utmost efforts to
settle their dispute by negoti
ation. He told his news con
ference that the national bene
fits of full employment and
production should override
any selfish interest of both
sides.
In papers filed with th Su
preme Court, the union said
the case "involves serious and
important statutory and con
stitutional questions."
CiU Eisenhower's Delays
It contended that "A delay
of a few more days, indeed of
a few more weeks, would not
irreparably damage the na
tional interest."
The union petition noted
that Eisenhower "stalled 86
days" before invoking proce- .
dures of the Taft-Hartley Law
which call for the injunction.
It also pointed out that he
gave a fact-finding board a
three-day extension to report
to him and argued the Su
preme Court was entitled to
at least as much time as the
fact - finders to consider the
case. ' - - :
Emergency Cited
Today's, legal maneuvering
began when the government
filed its motion for accelerat
ing a showdown on the
union's appeal against the
back to work injunction. The
Justice Department cited "the
outstanding emergency creal?
ed , by . the steel strike" as
grounds for the speed-up.
The union s then submitted
its counter argument. It sug
gested a compromise formula
for expediting Supreme Court
action.
This hinged on the govern
ment agreeing not to oppose
the union's appeal to the Su
preme Court to review the in
junction. If the government
did this, the union said it
could file its full argument
on the case by Monday.
License Plates
