WEDNESDAY ONLY "CURTAIN AT 8:30" ' John lusk at the Baldwin Piano & ARTHUR MILLER'S J&jj J MONTAND MYLENE DEM0NGE0T Political Parties, New Booklet Discussed at Roundtable The United States has gone In reverse in the organization of its political party system, because there are now four In fluential political parties whereas there were, until a few years ago, only two. Two of these parties are congressional, competing to see which one can control Con gress and the other two are political, battling for control of the White House and U.S. policies. These remarks were made Monday by Mrs. Thomas Rut ter, voter service chairman of the Medford League of Wom en Voters, who addressed the Medford Chamber of Com merce Roundtable luncheon on the coming elections, county, state and federal. Mrs. Rutter implied that the existing two-party system is two-party in name only, each having its conservative and liberal blocs. ' "When we cast our vote in national elections, we are casting our vote to see which kind of liberals will sit in Congress and which kind of conservatives will run the BEST IN BUSINESS Actor Charlton Heston and Actress Simone Signoret "toast" each other with their Oscars after the 32nd annual Academy Awards at Hollywood Monday night.

She said there is a lack of emphasis on political parties today and there is no longer any political parly organiza tion for "power." The only or ganization in today's parties, she said, revolves around of fice holders and seekers and their following. Reasons Cited The reasons for the de-emphasis on political parties is due in part, she said, to the consolidation of labor, mech anized farms, centralized busi ness, the population explosion and mass media, all of which have contributed to a kind of a "national togetherness." Mrs. Rutter also pointed out that interest in county elec tions is much less than Inter est in state and national elec tions. This is partly due, she said, to the fact that the state and national candidates are able to publicize themselves to a greater extent than local candidates can. Yet, as was pointed out by Mrs. John E. Ousterhout, chairman of the know your county committee of the 'ri ijitii 'an Miss Sienoret as best actress at the Top." (UPI Telephoto) honor, and English star Hugh Griffith won best supporting actor for his role in "Ben Hur." Scores of stars crowded into the Pantages Theater on Hollywood blvd. where their enthusiasm was somewhat dimmed by the Screen Actors Guild against the major movie studios. Jokes About Strike Master of ceremonies Bob Hope joked about the strike, saying, "Welcome to Holly wood's most glamorous strike meeting." Later in the show Hope was surprised himself when he was presented with the special Jean Hersholt Award for hu manitarianlsm. The winners were both ex cited and grateful in their ac ceptance speeches. Miss Signoret, a 39-year-old blonde, told the 2100 cele brities and fans in the theater, "I can t say anything. All, thank you. You can't imagine what it is for me, being French. Before leaving his seat Hes. ton hugged and kissed his wife. Then he marched stiffly to the state to say, "When you stand here you want to thank everybody you ever knew In this business. Ten years ago next month I made my first picture. Since then I worked with many of you and all of you did something to help me get here." Breaks Award Record Jubilant William Wyler, winner of two previous di recting Oscars, said, "We broke the record," referring to "Ben-Hur" 11 awards In the 12 categories for which It was nominated. The MGM religious epic filmed on location in Rome, surpassed the previous record holder, "Glgi," which collect ed nine awards last year. MGM topped the studio totals with 11, all for "Ben Hur." Next was 20th Century Fox with three. Miss Winters broke Into tears backstage, crying, "I got it, at last, at last. I would like to thank the memory of the wonderful little girl (Anne Frank) who wrote with such depth and perception about human belrSs." Miss Signoret became the first actress to win an Oscar in a British-made film, and has never made a movie in the United States. She came to this country for the first time last year. League-who also addressed the Chamber luncheon on a booklet entitled "How Much Do You Know About Jackson County" recently compiled and written by the Medford League-the county govern ment is probably the branch of government which is closest to the people because of such things as the payment of prop erty taxes. But, as Mrs. Rutter explain ed, the people, many voters who go to the polls, mark their state and federal ballots then leave without even vot ing for county ofiiceis simply because the publicized interest is less and they are not ac quainted with the candidates. Vote Decrease It is a fact, she said, that the number of votes cast for candidates decreases as the importance of the office being sought decreases. She said it is lucky if one out of four persons voting, really know what they are voting about. Mrs. Rutter also commented on ballot measures and the two which will be on the bal lot for county residents in the May primary. She said that the size of the vote cast on measures is usually related to the length, type and brevity of the measure itself as it appears on the ballot. One of the measures, the proposal to raise the pay of Oregon legislators from $600 per year to $1,200 a year, has the strong backing of the League, according to Mrs. Rut ter. She pointed out that leg islators in California receive $0,000 a year and those in Alaska $3,000. Total Pay Per Month The increase will still make the total pay only $175 a month, she said, which will not be equal to what most leg islators are making in private life. One of the reasons for the necessity of higher salaries. she said, is that a person can not afford to run for this of fice unless he is wealthy or subsidized by some particular group, which keeps many oth erwise able persons from run ning for legislative offices in Oregon. The average pay for a day in the Oregon legislature is now only $12, which is not enough to even meet the cost of living in Salem, or make up tor the income lost to legislator while the legislature is in session, or pay for travel expenses, or pay for hardship to tne legislators families, Mrs. nutter pointed out. Mrs. Ousterhout said the League started working on the county government pamphlet about three years ago when they found that there was al most no information available on county government. County Government She said that one phase of county government can't be understood without looking at the entire structure and when the League first started gath ering information for the pam phlet the county structure looked complicated. However, after gathering information for two years they were able to come out with a "fairly coherent" description of vari ous county government serv ices. She said the pamphlet, which was released for dis tribution 11 days ago, has had very good reception so far. The Medford school district has or dered 750 copies of the book for use in classrooms, she said, and Southern Oregon college will also order some. The pamphlet, Mrs. Ouster hout said, contains a brief his tory and geography of the county, a description of coun ty offices and information on elections and political parties, The longest article in the pamphlet she said, is devoted to O and C lands. The reason for this, Mrs. Ousterhout point ed out, is that many persons are not aware that the sale of O and C timber in this county makes it possible for county residents not to pay a county property tax. Dr. Ken Baker, roundtable chairman, said the speaker at next Monday's rountable will be Bert Parks, but he would elaborate no further. .

Albert Wisendanger, executive-secretary manager of the Keep Oregon Green associa tion, will be the guest speak er. Prentice said, and plans for the coming year will be re viewed. Part of the activity will include the presentation of the Keep Oregon Green story to the schools in Jackson county and the distribution of KOG posters. Prentice noted that the dis- astcrous Ashland fire, last sea son, pointed up the need for a vital program of public edu cation to the necessity for pre vention work in the battle to keep fire out of the forested areas. Prentice noted that the opening of the fire season April 1 made it imperative that residents in Jackson coun ty abide by the simple rules for fire safety to protect the forests In this area since they play such a vital role In the area s economy.
