(UPI Telephoto) Problems Involved In Educational TV Aired at Meeting Problems involved in edu cational television were dis cussed at a symposium on the subject yesterday afternoon at Hedrick Junior High school by Ken S. Williams, general manager of the sight and sound division, Corbett Elec tronics company, Portland. Educational TV, he empha sized, is merely a tool. It is used to convey a teacher's ideas to a classroom or group of pupils the same as a mi crophone does, only sight as wen as souna is inciuaea. Television cannot be used as a substitute for teaching. It is merely supplemental, Wil liams said. Alf B. Mekvold, county school superintendent, set the symposium theme by explain ing that it was merely an exploratory meeting. Educa tional television he indicated, may answer the question of how can we more rapidly teach pupils to meet demands for a speed-up in education. Increased enrollments are an other pressing problem which educational TV may solve, he said. Sam Qualification! A teacher using television must have the same qualifi cations as a good classroom teacher to be successful, Wil- WEATHER FORECAST: Variable elondiness tonight and early Friday with patches of fog Friday morning.

Coordinated Desirable by Planning for the future should be coordinated among all interested communities and the county, and studies should be completed .before county-wide zoning is at tempted. ' This point was made , by Lloyd Anderson, associate di rector of the urban planning and assistance program for Oregon, for planners and city officials of Jackson county last night. "It's as easy to draft co ordinated planning ordinances as to draft others," Anderson told the approximately 45, persons attending the meet ing, including representatives of Medford and Jackson coun ty planning commissions, the Jackson county parks and re creation commission, and of ficials of Rogue River, Eagle Point, Talent and Jackson ville. Indicate Zoning Studies should be made of land use, population density and traffic, and facts learned from these studies will indi liams pointed out. Tefevision multiplies weaknesses in teaching as well as strengths. Television can be used suc cessfully to help teach most subjects, but there are some things it cannot do Williams said. It cannot be used to teach the first grade, for in stance. Some educators have com plained that television carries a contact from the teacher to the pupil, but not from the pu pil back to the teacher. In some schooTST red '" light flashes in the school studio and the pupil 'asks his ques tions over an inter-communi cations system.

Mosee of Portland has filed a declara tion of candidacy with Secre tary of State Howell Appling Jr. for delegate to the Repub lican National convention, state at large. Planning for State Program Official cate the zoning needed, he de clared. Also, by making these studies, people can be con vinced more, easily of the need of zoning, he said. Subdivision regulations and a zoning ordinance should be tied together to help each oth er, Anderson added. Zoning should be concentrated first where the need is greatest in the more heavily populated urban areas - and it can be extended to the lesser popu lated areas later as the people in the other towns see a need for it, Anderson stated. ' Jackson county now has in terim zoning in certain areas, but it will have to move fast with its studies in order to have count y-wide zoning within three years, the state planning consultant pointed out. Interim zoning is effec tive for three years, then must be brought , to a vote of the people. However, the pre liminary studies are required by law before permanent county zoning. - Zoning would not be so ef NATO Allies To Be Asked To Share More in Defense Specific Areas Not Described Washington-TOPD - Secretary of State Christian A. Herter said today the .United States will ask its allies at the NATO Council meeting next week to take on a larger share of the over-all burden of defending the West. He said the U. S. will carry out in full its share of the committments, but believes that the growing strength of Western European nations will enable them to take on a bigger share of the cost. Herter expressed the views at a news conference two days before flying with other Cabinet officials to Paris for the NATO Council of Minis ters which begins Tuesday. He declined to say what specific areas would be in volved in the forthcoming dis cussions on burden-sharing. He said he doubts whether it will come in terms of spec ific dollar-and-cent proposals. Herter opened the news conference by expressing the view that President Eisen hower's three-continent trip so iar nas exceeded tne ao ministration's greatest expec- tions. He said public acceptance of the President as an indi vidual Vind symbol of his coun try has indicated the depth of feeling ' these people in other parts of the world hold for the United States. Herter also said that dis cussions the President has had with heads of 'government so far have been extermely sat isfactory in every instance. Separate Talks Suggested by Steelworkers Washington - IUPD - The Steelworkers Union appealed today for company - by - com pany bargaining' in " the "steel dispute in a bid to reach separate settlements with 95 steel producing firms. Union President David J. McDonald said negotiations with the four-man team repre senting the 11 big steel com panies have been "totally un productive." The letter also asked the steel companies for retroac tive benefits in any new con tract and a pre-Christmas pay raise based on the govern ment's cost-of-living index. Joint Session The new proposal came as union and management ne gotiators were called into joint session today by federal mediators amid signs the gov ernment might propo.se. a package settlement of the seven-month-old dispute. In his proposed "interim settlement," the union leader suggested that any benefits provided by a final agreement should be retroactive to Nov. 7 when the strikers returned to work. Since then, the steel workers have been paid under their old contract which ex pired June 30. Boise - (HPD - The U.S. Ag riculture Department has re ported that 2,564,000 hundred weight of potatoes were pro cessed in' Idaho and nearby Malheur county, Oregon, from July through October. Future Said fective without an arterial plan to show main flows of traffic Also, a land-use plan helps to determine the type of sewer plan needed for areas, Anderson pointed out. Illustrate Need Illustrating the need for land use studies as one basis for zoning, Anderson told how Klamath . Falls redesigned its zoning with the shift of Ore gon Technical institute from one part of the city to anoth er. Jack Eaton, county plan ning technician, reported that the county is working on a land-use study, but does not have a population or traffic study yet. RoberDuff, Med ford city manager, said Med ford has completed a land use study and an arterial street plan was finished-in 1954, but is probably outdated now due to city growth. Paul Rynning, county en gineer, commented that stud ies have been made by the county during his 35 years in office. Coordination in . Dlan ning is important, he said. Rogue Valley Edition M 38 Pages ' Military Aid Reported Offered If War Develops Eisenhower Given Standing Ovation New Delhi -UPD- President Eisenhower renewed his call today for controlled world disarmament but warned Communist China the United States stood ready to protect its friends against an "alien philosophy backed by great military might." E i s e n hower addressed a joint session of Parliament minutes after a meeting with Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru at which he was re ported to have offered U.S. military aid should a shooting war develop from Red China's attacks on India's northern borders. Standing Ovation Eisenhower received a standing ovation when he en tered the jam - packed and flower - bedecked Parliament Hall. His 22 -minute speech was interrupted 14 times by applause. After the session several members of Parliament told the UPI they were thrilled by the address. One said he saw ."genuineness in Eisenhower's desire for peace." , Nehru Listens Quietly Nehru sat thoughtfully dur ing the speech, his chin cup ped in his hand. He did not join in the applause at any time during the proceedings except just before the Presi dent left the chamber. Eisenhower appeared f a -tigued after his busy day that began when he laid a wreath on the tomb of Mohandas K. Gandhi, hero of Indian inde pendence, but he brightened when great crowds lining the streets of New Delhi cheered and screamed their approval of his peace mission in a repetition of Wednesday's tumultuous welcome. Barbara Has Cold His health appeared good in contrast to that of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. John Eisen hower, who was suffering from a cold and persistent cough but continued her un official duties. The galleries of Parliament were packed hours before Eisenhower arrived to warn the world that if there is not peace "there may be no gener ations to follow us." Only a world campaign for peace can win peace, he said, and he called on India to help lead it.

Judge Main OKs Tax Assessment For EP District Circuit Court Judge James Main this morning ordered the Eagle Point Irrigation dis trict tax assessment roll ap proved, and advised Mrs. Ann Todd to seek legal counsel if she could not bring cases be fore the court properly. Mrs. Todd had appealed to circuit court from an order of the board of directors adopting the assessment roll. In the appeal, she alleged im proper procedure and dis crimation by the board. Judge Main said the appeal was improperly brought, and contained no claim of unjust assessment as far as. her prop erty was concerned. During a lengthy conver sation between Mrs. Todd and Judge Main, the judge said the things of which Mrs. Todd complained were the business of the board of directors, and jihe proper redress is to elect new directors it sne is noi satisfied with the present board. Matters Not Before Court Mrs. Todd asked how she could bring the matters she mentioned in her appeal be fore the court and if she could not do it now. Judge Main said he could not an swer her and that the matters were not before the court. He advised Mrs. Todd to seek legal counsel if she could not bring cases before the court properly. He point ed out, however, that he was not saying an individual could not represent himself in court. Mrs. Todd claimed in her appeal that the order asses sing property in the district "is unjust, inequitable, dis criminatory and arbitrary" and should be modified. She asked the court that lands owned by P. W. Allen, Don Anderson, James Dunn, G. A. Olson, Carl von der Hellen and Gertrude Stanley be taken off the assessment roll because Mrs. Todd had lands of her own which were not on the assessment roll. Ben Day, attorney for the district, in his brief in support of the motion to dismiss the appeal, said Mrs. Todd was was not the proper party to bring such an appeal since "she is not aggravated by this assessment, and further sets forth no proper grounds of appeal."

Robert Ha worth told the city parks and recreation commission Wed nesday night. . Bids for the pool will be opened at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15, in the city manager's office, ' Haworth said. It is hoped that the new bids will come within the $77,000 al located for the pools. Five earlier bids were re jected as too high. Haworth also told the com mission the city's appraisal of ' the land in Hawthorne park to be purchased by the state highway department for the proposed freeway has not yet been completed. This is due, in part, to the fact that the highway department has not yet informed the city on just how much of the park they will want. Basis for Appraisal The city's appraisal will be based, Haworth said, on the value of land in the area, the original cost of construct ing the park, and the cost of ten years park maintenance. He added, that cost for a new park will also be added into the appraisal figure if it is found the new highway will destroy the practical val ue of the area as a park. Members of the Veterans Allied Council of Medford were at the meeting to inform the commission of their plans for a war dead memorial in West Side park, and to obtain support and cooperation in the project. Pat Graham, secretary of the proposed memorial com mittee told the commission the VAC would like the city to pay for the memorial in whole or in part since it would be of benefit to the city. He pointed out that many cities have financed extension me morials to their war dead. However, he said the veterans would be prepared to finance the memorial if the city would not. Haworth told the commis sion of a series of meetings being sponsored by the county parks and recreation commis sion with representatives from Medford, Central Point, Ash land, and other interested parties to help coordinate de velopment of Bear Creek as a park or scenic area. 54th Year No. 220 Herb Partridge, head of a Jackson park wading pool committee for the commis sion, said the Crater Lions club has definitely accepted the wading pool as a project and will use proceeds from their television auction, tenta tively scheduled for late Jan uary or early February, for the project. The parks and recreation commission has approximate ly $1,137 in donated funds which can be used for park development, Haworth said. Included in this fund is S900 earmarked for a memorial fa cility in West Side or Haw thorne park. ' Another $237 in the fund has been donated by the Moose Lodge for the purpose of acquiring some playground equipment. $466,556 Received From Forest Service County Treasurer Karl Janouch reported today that the county received a check for $466,556.28 Wednesday for the county's share in the receipts from national forest lands in the fiscal year. The sum was about $23,000 higher than information the Mail Tribune 1 received and published in a story yester day. Janouch said the amount re ceived last year was $326, 805.03. The money from tim ber sales, grazing of livestock, land and other uses of the government forests is distrib uted 25 per cent to the coun ty school fund and 75 per cent to the county general road fund. Wreck During Chase by Police Kills Empire Boy Coos Bay-(UPD Jerry Lee Davis, 16, Empire, was injured fatally Wednesday night when a car hit a guard rail while being chased by a state police car. Two other youths were in jured. In a hospital here were Wane Wear, 16, Coos Bay, and Jack McFarland, 20, North Bend. State police said officer Robert McDaniel and Deputy Sheriff Howard Lentz were getting into McDaniel's car Decision Said Not Influenced By Controversies Air Force, Navy Personnel To Stay Washington - (UPD - The United States announced it will withdraw all of its 1,200 Army . troops from Iceland where their presence has gen erated some friction. The Defense Department said the withdrawal, to be car ried out during the first six months of 1960, was part of a "normal redeployment" and had nothing to do with recent incidents. Approximately 4,000 Air Force and Navy personnel will remain in Iceland. The department said that the decision to pull out the Army troops was initiated by the U.S. alone, and that the Icelandic government was la ter "made aware" of the de cision. It insisted the withdrawal had no connection with the recent recall of the American commanding officer in Ice land, Air Force Brig. Gen. Gilbert Pritchard. Pritchard was removed at the request of the Icelandic government af ter an incident involving two Icelandic citizens and U. Sj military guards. The Icelandic government had said the two civilians who had entered a military area were humiliated and forced to lie in a puddle while military police examined their papers. The Defense Department also said timing of the with drawal announcement had no connection" with the in auguration of a new Icelandic government last month. Th American troops controversy was an issue in the campaign. The announcement said that after the Army battalion com bat team is withdrawn, air borne troops will be kept in readiness in the United States' so they could reach Iceland in a matter of hours if necessary. The battalion's assignment of "guarding military instal lations" will be taken over by the Air Force and Navy. Bids Called on CP City Property Central Point - The city of Central Point will receive bids to purchase the present city hall building and proper ty until Dec. 22 at 7:30 p.m., according to Lyle Paull, city administrator. The sale is necessary, Paull said, to obtain sufficient mon ey for the construction of a proposed new city hall. All bids on the new building were rejected last summer as too high. Acceptance of the bid on the property at Second and Pine sts., is conditional upon the building of the new city hall, Paull said, as the city re serves the right to retain pos session of the present city hall until the completion of the new structure. Central Point currently has slightly more than $6,000 available for construction of the new building. That sum. plus . the amount received from the sale of the present city hall and property, must equal the amount of the pro posed structure, Paull said. The new building would be built on city property at the corner of Third and Pine sts., near the city fire station and library. Concrete Being Poured On New Bridge Deck Concrete for the deck of the Eighth st. bridge over Bear creek is now being poured, according to Vernon Thorpe, city engineer. Pouring was started yester day and should be completed by today, he said. It will be 20 or 30 days, depending on the weather, before the deck will be hard enough to per mit vehicles to use it, Thorpe said. when the youths passed and threw an empty bottle onto the pavement. The officers said they chas ed the car at speeds up to 90 mph on Highway 101 before the car turned off onto High way 51. The Davis car crashed into a guard rail at a bridge and overturned several times, the officers said. ' , The Davis youth died about two hours later in the hospital.
