President's Far last Itinerary
To include Trip To South Korea
Chief Executive
Plans Five-Day
Stop in Japan
Pressure Seen for
Other Additions
Augusta, Ga. - (LTD - Presi
dent Eisenhower today added
substantially to his world tour
itinerary next June to devote
more time to the Far East fol
lowing a nine -day visit to
Russia.
The vacation White House,
where the President is spend
ing a golfing holiday, an
nounced that the chief execu
tive would be in Japan over
five-day period with time
out for a one-day side trip to
South Korea and conferences
with President Syngman
Rhee.
An advance party of White
House officials has just com
pleted a survey trip to Russia
preparatory to the President's
visit there and is now en route
to Japan.
Jet Flight To Tokyo
Under the expanded itiner
ary, Eisenhower plans to fly
from Washington in time to
reach Moscow June 10. He
will tour the Soviet Union for
nine days, leaving from a
Siberian city June 19 for a jet
flight to Tokyo.
In connection with the Jap
anese - American Centennial,
the President will remain in
Japan until June 23. On June
22, he will make a one-day
visit to the Republic of Korea,
returning to Japan that night.
The White House has been
under mounting diplomatic
pressure to enlarge the June
trip ever since the President
announced his intention to go
to Russia in June to return the
1959 visit to this country of
Soviet Premier Nikita Khru
shchev. Pressure To Increase
Elsenhower has been urged
to include Formosa and the
Philippine Republic on his
long itinerary and interna
tional pressure for these ad
ditions was certain to increase
after announcement of the
plans to go to Korea.
With the additions today
and the possibility of more to
come, the President's June
trip shaped up as an even
more ambitious venture than
his 11 -nation tour of last
December.

50 Per Cent Boost
In Teacher Pay by
1963 Urged as Goal
Washington - IUPD - Ameri-
cans were challenged today to
accept as their "national
goals" in education a 50 per
cent boost in teachers' salaries
by 1963, and a $25 billion
school building program over
the next decade.
These admittedly "drastic"
goals were proposed in a staff
study prepared by the U.S.
Office of Education for dis
cussion at a conference at-
A Hurry, But I Have
I'll Need"
to 64,267,000, even though it
normally goes up an average
of 450,000 in March.
Secretary of Labor James
P. Mitchell said the counter
seasonal changes were caused
largely by "unusually cold
weather and heavy snowfall
which blanketed large areas
of the country.'

tended by leaders of 100 edu
cational organizations.
The conference was called
by Arthur S. Flemming, secre
tary of health, education and
welfare. Flemming empha
sized to reporters that the
Office of Education report
was simply a "basis for dis
cussion" at the conference,
and did not necessarily reflect
administration thinking.
Professional Appraisal
However, Dr, Lawrence G.
Derthick, com missioner of
education, described the re
port in a foreword as a pro-1
fessional appraisal of the fac
tual situation" facing Ameri
cans in their attempt to build
and maintain an adequate
public school system.
The report said it is "es
sential" to national survival
that "a substantial improve
ment in the quality of Ameri
can education be brought
about in the decade ahead."
With the nation locked in a
life - or - death technological
race with Russia, the report
said, it is a matter of "fear
ful urgency" to overcome the
classroom and teacher short
ages now plaguing public
schools.

Public Hearing
On Eagle Point
School Budget Set
Eagle Point A public hear
ing on Eagle Point school dist
rict's proposed $784,490.57
budget for fiscal year 1960-61
will be held in the Eagle
Point High school library at 8
p.m. Wednesday, April 13.
The budget includes
$647,409.21 general fund;
$64,233.75 in the bond inter
est and redemption fund: $42,-
181.64 in the school lunch
fund; and $10,665.97 in the
construction fund.
School officials said the
school lunch fund and con
struction fund balanced by re
ceipts in those funds, and no
tax Is levied for them.
General Fund Total
The general fund total,
school officials pointed out, is
$53,449.91 more than the pres
ent year s expenditures. The
increase is from general rises
in operating and maintenance
costs, they said.
The total estimated tax lev
ies for next year are $516,
722.15, compared to tax levies
this year amounting to $509,
077.15, an increase of $7,645.
Of the total estimated levy,
$75,227.91 is inside the 6 per
cent limitation, and $63,259.17
is not subject to the limita
tion, leaving $376,235.07 out
side the 6 per cent limitation.
School officials noted that
the bond issue and redemption
fund is $21,797.54 less than
the amount In the present
years budget. This, along
with an estimated increase in
revenue of $24,233.90, have
kept the overall budget in
crease to a minimum.
Tax Commission

County Assessor Ray Schu

sioner Chester Wendt, as

ty board of equalization, will
go to Salem tomorrow to have
the state tax commission re
view ratios involved in prop
erty taxes.
Normally the board of
equalization doesn't meet here
until the first Monday after
April 16. The assessor posts
his tax ratios on April 16.
However, Schumacher said
the board agreed it would be
a good idea for the state tax
commission to view them be
fore they are officially post
ed. This will avoid any major
revisions after the ratios be
come established.
The ratio, Schumacher ex
plained, is a fixed percentage
showing the relationship of
assessed value, which forms
the basis for taxation, to sales
value of property. The state
tax commission holds its regu
lar meetings in June, Schu

First Search for
Signals From
Planets Planned
Radio Telescope
To Focus on Stars
Washington - HTU - The Na
tional Science Foundation to
day announced the beginning
of "mankind's first systema
tic search for signals from in
telligent beings on other plan
ets." The search, known as Proj
ect Ozma, got under way for
mally Monday night at the
National Radio Astronomy
observatory, Green Bank,
W.Va. The project was named
after the queen of the fairy
tale Land of Oz, "a place very
far away, difficult to reach,
and populated by strange and
exotic beings."
To Divert Use
For the next month, Dr.
Frank D. Drake will focus the
observatory's 85 - foot radio
telescope alternately on two
nearby stars "that might have
planets susceptible of sustain
ing life," the science founda
tion said. The telescope, in
use around the clock, will be
diverted from general astro
nomical research to Project
Ozma for six hours daily.
The two stars picked for
the experiment are Tau Ceti
and Epsilon Eridani, each
about 66 million miles from
the sun. It would take radio
signals, moving at the speed
of light, 11 years to bridge the
distance.
To Be Amplified
The telescope will receive
signals alternately from one
of the stars and from a near
by region in space. Signals
from the immediate vicinity
of the star will be amplified,
transferred to tape, and ana
lyzed to determine "if they
seem to be the result of de
liberate transmission by other
beings.

millions of planets as hosoita-

Five leash laws
To Be on Ballots
-Five separate leash law
propositions will appear on

quire dog owners to keep
their dogs on leashes when off
their property. They would
not be muzzle laws, Hagler
emphasized.
Areas to be covered by each
proposal are: (1) in the boun
daries of Precinct 65, West
Side area of Medford; (2) in
the boundaries of precinct
68A, Perrydale area; (3) with-
mg the city boundaries of
Rogue River; (4) within the

(5) all of Jackson county.
M-T's Hospital Story Said
Police To Request Planning Meeting
A spokesman for Sacred
Heart Hospital said today that
a Mail Tribune story of last
Wednesday, describing efforts
to assist a man suffering from
convulsions, was incorrect in
a number of details, and in
emphasis and conclusions.
The man was not refused
admittance to the hospital, the
spokesman said, and his health
was never endangered. In ad
dition, details of the timing of
events, as they appeared on
the police log and figured In
the Mail Tribune's slory, were
challenged by the hospital
spokesman.
Meanwhile, Charles v.
Champlin, Medford police
chief, said he will request a
meeting between police offi
cials and authorities of Sacred
Heart hospital.
We want to meet with hos
pital authorities to go over the
details of this case, and also
to see if better arrangements
for future cases of this sort
can be made," the chief
stated.
Have No Facilities
"We have no facilities In
the city police station for the
care of sick persons, and some
arrangement should be
worked out whereby they will
receive prompt and adequate
medical care," the chief point
ed out.
He added that the police de
partment knows it is the pol
icy of all hospitals to admit
persons requiring hospitaliza
tion. 1 The incident in question, he
said, was probably aggravated
by the fact that conslderablt

The chief pointed out that
the police department has also
enjoyed excellent working re

the Camp White Domiciliary.
"Medical care for indi
gents," he stated, "Is a com
munity problem, and the hos
pitals, doctors and ambulance
service have every right to ex
pect payment for their serv
ices." He made no comment as to
the hospital spokesman's dec
laration that the report of the
police officer involved was in
correct in several Instances.
But the chief did state that
medical emergencies do con
stitute one of the police de
partment's major "head
aches," and that, other than
first aid training for all offi
cers, the department is not
equipped to cope with them.
Criticises Mail Tribune
The hospital spokesman,
Paul W, Haviland, a Medford
lawyer and member of the
Sacred Heart Hospital board,
criticized the Mail Tribune
for printing the story solely
on the information provided
by the police officer involved.
He said, "Unfortunately,
from the information that we
have been able to obtain, the
newspaper reporter made his
story without checking with
the Sacred Heart Hospital to
ascertain the facts although
he was requested to do so by
the police officials because an

Series of Notes
Heighten Tension
Havana - HTD - President
Osvaldos Dorticos accused
President Eisenhower today
of meddling In the Internal
politics of Cuba.
Durticos made the state
ment in replying to Eisen
hower's recent letter to Pa
tricio Fernandez, president of
the Students Federation of
Chile, and Eduardo Zuniga,
the secretary.
Hostility Said United
The Cuban President said
the "White House press office,
the secretary of state, mem
bers of Congress, the United
States armed forces and even
the judiciary have been unit
ing their hostility against the
measures of social justice and
political and economic trans
formation which the revolu
tionary govern ment had
adopted."
Dorticos's accusations came
as a series of stiffly worded
U.S. notes to Cuba heighten
ed tension between the two
countries and threatened to
revive Cuban antagonism
against the big U.S. naval
base at Guantanamo, where
the U.S. refused to reinstate
a discharged labor leader.
Angered by Reply
Dorticos said there was
nothing wrong in the letter
the students sent Eisenhower
since ti.oy were only sound
ing out the American position.
But the reply apparently
angered him thoroughly.
He was particularly bluer
at Eisenhower's state ment
Premier Fidel Castro was be
traying the principles of the
revolution.

mands for the rehiring of
Federico Figueras Larrazabal.
The wording of the note
anrf of two others, delivered
simultaneously, dealing with
other subjects-indicated -the
United States was adopting a
harder line toward Premier
Fidel Castro's revolutionary'
regime.
There was no immediate
Cuban reaction.
Castro Remains Silent
Castro himself was not In
Havana, and observers here
were wondering why he had
not replied to an earlier U.S.
comment on his administra
tion - President Eisenhower's
charge that he had "betrayed
the Cuban revolution."
Two theories were offfered
to explain Castro's silence
that he was too busy trying
to rout Capt. Manuel Beaton s
rebels out of the Sierra Mae
slra Mountains or that he is
saving up his answer to Eis
enhower for a major May Day
speech.
The U.S. refusal to renire
Figueras amounted to a chal
lenge of leftist Labor Minis- .
ter Augusto Martinez San
chez's March 24 declaration
that local employees of the
base are "Cubans working in
Cuban territory, and subject
to the laws of this nation."
Under those laws It is ille
gal to fire an employee for
any reason. The ministry
could choose to make a test
case of Figueras who was dis
missed for urging workers to
spy on base activities, for say
ing there were indications of
an imminent invasion by the
United States and for anti-
American agitation.
