TRAFFIC PATTERN The Eighth st. bridge

announced today. The new bridge, under
construction for five months, is at lower left.
'Who Owns Skyline?'
Asked of Chamber
Portland Architect Lewis
Crutcher posed a "moral is
sue" at the annual Chamber
of Commerce dinner Saturday
night.
"Who owns the city's sky
line?" he asked. The man
who owns the ground below
it? Or the people who have
to look at it?"
Crutcher, who has sparked
a beautification program in
the city of Portland, told some
200 persons attending the din
ner at the Rogue Valley Coun
try club that city beautifica
tion is a most practical mat
ter of property values, as well
as an aesthetic matter of
beauty.
Using colored slides, Crut
cher dramatized the sharp
contrast between many Euro
pean cities, where signs are
small, trees and space are uti
lized, and beauty is an integ
ral part of the city, and many
American cities, which are
garish, unplanned, denuded
of trees, and have no "heart."
Us of Trees
"Trees," the architect said,
"are the most efficient air
conditioners, helping keep the
city cool in summer, allowing
the sun to shine down in the
winter, collecting dust, lower
ing noise, and turning carbon
dioxide into oxygen."
He recommended:
-Elimination of huge bill
boards which hide the natural
beauty of a city, and often
times blot each other out, and
the enactment of an effective
sign ordinance governing size
and location.
-Increased use of trees in
the city, both in business and
residential areas.
-Coordination of traffic and
parking to make the most of
the city's streets and open
PllThe use of paint and color
.1q accent or hide the city's
good and oaa pomu.
-Emphasis on parks
and
green areas.
-F.limination. or hiding,
of
utility poles.
His talk also brought out
that American cities have
much to learn in the prepara
tion of attractive city ap
proaches, in the utilization of
water for beauty as well as
" utility, in the emphasis on
what is already good and the
correction of what is bad.
Unplanned
He used his own city of
Portland as a "horrible ex
ample" of what can happen
through unplanned and un
caring growth, and sharply
pointed up his message with
the use of slides, and contrast
ing good and bad points.
One "gimmick" he used
was a photograph of a glar
ingly ugly American city
street, immediately followed
by an artist's conception of
what it could be if billboard
signs were eliminated, others
were handled more tastefully,
jf trees were returned to the
" street, and if paint and awn
ings and grass and shrubs
were used decoratively.
Another was a picture of
some of Europe's most famous
scenes, such as the Champs
Elysee in Paris, or the Grand
Canal in Venice, immediately
followed by the artist's con
ception of what they would
look like if "developed" in
the typical American manner
-with trees and grass gone,
and the whole covered with
neon and painted signs.
In planning, he said, a city
should look ahead 20 years
and prepare for its inevitable
growth. This, coupled with
an appreciation of the aes
thetic values we all need, can
pay- off both in dollars and
cents, and in a city where it
is a pleasure to live, he said.

Welfare Commission Considers Work
Relief Program in Jackson County
A work relief program is
being considered by the Jack
son county public welfare
commission, County Commis
sioner Ralph James said to
day. The commission, which in
cludes the three members of
the county court, is consider
ing a program similar to one
now being tried in Polk coun
ty. Under this program all
general assistance recipients
who are able to work would
do so on various county proj
ects. General assistance
amounts $110,000 annually
in this county.
"This would be better than
paying a lot of money out to
people who do nothing when
they can at least work a
little," according to James
Pullman, Jackson county pub
lic welfare administrator.
"The county could receive
from $20,000 to $40,000 in
labor.
The arrows on the map show the traffic
pattern for east and west bound traffic. The
bridge is part of the one-way couplet which
went into operation in 1958.
Bridge to Open
Over Bear Creek
Tuesday Morning
The new Eighth st. bridge
across Bear creek will be open
to traffic Tuesday morning.
Opening ceremonies will be
conducted by Mayor John Sni
der, City Manager Robert
Duff announced today. Mayor
Snider will cut the tradition
al ribbon at 10:30 a.m. Tues
day, Duff said.
Work on the bridge was
completed this morning when
the asphalt for approaches on
both sides of the bridge was
laid, the city engineering de- j
partment said.
The new two - lane bridge
will be restricted to "one-way
traffic eastbound, and the
Main st. bridge will be re
stricted to one-way traffic
west.
Traffic approaching River
side ave. on Eighth st. in the
right hand lane will no long
er be able to turn onto River
side ave. but must proceed on
to the bridge.
Cars wanting to use River
side ave. must keep in the left
lane it was announced.
There will be no-parking re
strictions between 4:30 and 6
p.m. between Almond and
Eighth sts. oh Main st., so
there will be two lanes of
one-way traffic east on Main
st. from the bridge to Almond
st., during the rush hours.
The bridge, which cost $51,
000 and took five months to
build, is part of a 10-year
street improvement program
approved by Medford voters
in 1956.
As the Eighth st. bridge
opens, the city engineering
department is going over
plans for a Tenth st. bridge.
It is hoped that work on it
will begin in early spring,
city engineers said.

"A good supervisor would
be needed for the work crews,
operation costs. The welfare
commission would pay only
the salaries of the men, but
not the supervisors."
The program would employ
those persons unable to com
pete on the labor market
physically or mentally. One
possible drawback may be
that general assistance recipi
ents would be in the county
longer than usual, Pullman
explained. After failing to
find work here those receiv
ing general assistance usually
drift out of the county seek
ing work. Another problem is
the limited amount of work
available the year around for
such unskilled persons.
Specifically, the welfare de

fJeuberger Offers
Revised Seashore
Bill to Congress
Washington-(UPD-Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) to
day introduced a revised bill
calling for a national seashore
recreation area in the dunes
area near Florence, Ore., al
though he said he had reser
vations about some of the pro
visions. The revised bill was for
warded to Neuberger by Gov.
Mark Hatfield of Oregon.
Neuberger originally intro
duced legislation for such a
park in March of last year.
Neuberger's original bill
brought considerable criticism
in Oregon and Hatfield's Nat
ural Resources Committee re
jected it. Neuberger intro
duced a revised bill last Oct.
26 which he. called an effort
to meet many of the criticisms
voiced by Hatfield and others.
'Drastic Departures'
Neuberger said he was in
troducing the bill received
from Hatfield Jan. 18 of this
year although it contained a
"considerable number of
rather drastic departures from
my bill." He also said it con
tained a great many of the
provisions of his Oct. 26 bill
"almost word for word."
The Oregon senator said he
believed Oregon's "magnifi
cent and scenic seacoast" mer
its the national shoreline park
near Florence and Reedsport.
"I think the best way to get
that park is for Gov. Hatfield
and me to reach all possible
agreement on the details of
the legislation authorizing
such a park," he said. "My
goal is not political warfare;
it is to bring Oregon its first
new national park since Cra
ter Lake was set aside in
1902."
He asked that the bill be
referred to appropriate com
mittees so hearings may be
held and departmental and
administrative views obtained.
Neuberger said it was his
intention to accept whatever
changes are acceptable to the
Interior Department and the
National Park Service. He
said if they find some of the
changes made by Hatfield un
acceptable "then I have every
confidence and hope that
Gov. Hatfield will join with
me in acceding to the wishes
of this great conservation
agency ..."
Objections Raised
Neuberger said one of the
provisions in Hatfield's bill
which caused him concern
was one saying "there shall be
no further extension of the
. . . area except for the con
currence of the Oregon Legis
lative Assembly and the gov
ernor of Oregon." Neuber-

transportation from the men's

the welfare commission as to
work available, location and

clothing, safety equipment
and other required articles
for work would be loaned to
the men by the county, the
welfare administrator said.
The county would also pro
vide workmen's compensation
coverage in case of death, in

ing the work. The men may
be examined as to physical
fitness for the work. Those
who refuse to work, or fail to
work satisfactorily, are insub

He also objected to elimina

would authorize the interior

to acquire land for the park.
Another section, he said, ap
peared to establish divided or
dual jurisdiction between the
state and the interior secre

would tie the secretary of in

of the moving dunes. He said

Name Change
Approved for
Local Chamber
The membership Saturday
night approved a change in
the name, Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce, to
Medford Chamber of Com
merce. The vote, called for by in
coming Chamber President
Gerald T. Latham, was un
animous. It was Latham's
first official action as cham
ber president, succeeding
Hugh Coleman.
During the evening awards
for service were presented to
outgoing chamber board mem
bers and division heads by
Board Member Dick Wood
cock. Coleman, in his brief talk,
discussed the past year, and
pointed out the chamber's ob
jectives, many of which have
been attained, and others of
which are still being sought.
Objectives
They include a wider mem
bership, a larger budget, a
new location for the cham
ber office, the attraction of
appropriate industry to this
area, improvement of trans
portation, the use of trees in
the towntown area, and oth
ers. Latham, discussing the jobs
still facing the chamber, said
the organization must first be
come informed,, second, rea
son through what is needed,
third, attempt to arouse a con
structive attitude among its
members and others, and, fin
ally, bring its program into
action.
The name change will cause
no change in chamber activi
ties, Latham explained, and
was proposed as a matter of
simpler and more effective
identification. The chamber's
program is still county-wide.

Possibility of Sanctions
Bonsai was recalled from
Havana last week in the midst
of rising anti - Americanism
prevailing under the regime
of Fidel Castro.
State Department officials
are discussing the possibility
of economic sanctions against
the Castro regime because of
its confiscation of American
owned property but the ad
ministration hoped to avoid
drastic measures.
Bonsai met with Herter for
90 minutes Sunday at the sec
retary's home. This under
scored the concern over the
Cuban situation. Rubottom
described the session as a pre
liminary consultation and in
dicated no decisions on policy
revisions were reached.
Informed sources said the
American officials are ser

tion to withdraw preferential
trade benefits now given Cu
ba. But these sources added
that the administration is
very reluctant to take such
action for fear it might "ruin"
the Cuban economy and pri
marily would hurt the Cuban
people rather than the Castro
regime.

Government Will
Move to Restore
Order in Africa
Authorities Get
Paris Instructions .
Paris - (UPD - President
Charles de Gaulle's govern
ment reaffirmed its Algerian
policy today and said it would
move to reestablish order in
that North African territory
as soon as possible.
The announcement was
made in a communique fol
lowing a two-hour and 15-
minute cabinet meeting.
Simultaneously, the govern
ment announced it has sent
urgent instructions to Al
giers' military and civilian
authorities on how to cope
with the emergency.
Information Minister Roger
Frey refused to answer any
questions about the communi
que. The key part of the com-.
munique, as read ay rrey,
said:
"The President of the Re
public and the government
are determined to maintain
the Algerian policy that they
have adopted, and to assure
the return as quickly as pos
sible of public order.
"On this subject, instruc
tions already given to the del
egate general of the govern
ment Paul DeLouvier; and to
the general commander in
chief of Algeria Gen. Maurice
Challe have been confirmed."
The communique did not
specifically say so, but it
meant that De Gaulle was de
termined to go through with
his policy of "self-determination"
for Algeria which he
announced last Sept. 16.
He promised then to let the
people of Algeria determine
their own future by vote four
years after peace is restored.
The one million European
settlers in the North African
territory fear the results, since
they feel the nine million
Moslems in Algeria will vote
10 oreak away from France.
The communique, in effect,
threw the gauntlet in the face
of the settlers in Algeria and
told them to yield to Paris
policy or be forced into doing
so.
The ominous question fac
ing De Gaulle was whether to
order the French Algerian
army to move against the hun
dreds of well-armed militia
men, students and farmers
and businessmen if they re
fused to heed De Gaulle's ur
gent appeal for calm.
De Gaulle met with Debre
until the early hours and con
sulted his military advisers.
Then he commanded the an
guished Frenchmen of Al
giers to "return to national
order" and stop spilling each
other's blood.
