iaioDOe Wasimigton for onferences Regional Edition MEDFORD 24 Pages Kennedy in Oregon State Presidential Seen Among Most Not Possible To Combine To Back One Candidate Morse Seen as Tough Opponent Portland ITPD Sen. John Kennedy (D-Mass.) said today me uregon presidential pri mary May 20 may be the most significant in the primary this year because of the num ber of candidates entered. Kennedy told a news con ference upon his arrival at Portland International airport for a two-day campaign swing that it would not be possible for supporters of other Demo cratic presidential candidates to attempt to block him in Oregon as they are doing in West Virginia. He said that in Oregon they would have to support their own candidates rather than combining to back only one as he said they were doing for Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) in West Virginia. For that reason, he said, Ore gon's primary will have the greatest impact on national convention delegates. In addition to Kennedy and Humphrey, Sens. Lyndon Johnson (Tex.), Stuart Sy mington (Mo.) and Wayne Morse (Ora.) are entered in the Oregon primary on the Democratic ballot. Kennedy said he felt the presence of Morse in the pri mary may blur its significance somewhat. He said he thought it would be difficult to beat Morse because he is running as a favorite son, but added he hoped to run well in the primary. Two receptions and a speech at Southern Oregon college are included in Sen. John F. Kennedy's visit to Medford tomorrow. He is expected to arrive via plane at 9 a.m. A coffee reception is planned at the home of Dr. Arthur Kreisman, 455 Liberty st., Ashland, be tween 9:45 and 10:45 a.m. Senator Kennedy will speak at the college gymnasium on Webster St. starting at 11 a.m. Following lunch in Med ford, the Democratic presiden tial candidate will participate in the annual Pear Blossom Festival parade as grand mar shal and in a program at Haw thorne park following the parade. Prior to the parade, be tween 1:15 and 2:15 p.m.. Senator Kennedy will be at a public reception at the Med ford hotel. He will leave Med ford via plane at 3:30 p.m. for Portland, where he is scheduled to speak Saturday night.

Kennedy will be in southern Oregon Saturday and will be grand marshal of the Pear Blossom parade.' ' (UPI Telephoto) reservoir, including the dam area, are being discouraged because of the strong possi bility that the cars or vehicles, which pull the boats, may be come stuck. Two of these sites are lo cated at the northwest por tion of the lake and the third on a peninsula toward the southwest corner of the lake. All three sites can only be reached by the New Hyatt Prairie rd., which is in good condition most of the way around the lake. The county points out that the old Hyatt Prairie rd. is impassable and will be blocked off. The launching site located on the peninsula is thought to be the best as more than one boat at a time can be launched from there. To get to this site it will be neces sary to cross one "poor" sec tion of road. However, this poor section will be passable unless heavy rains should fall, according to county officials. One recommended source of water exists at the reser 55th Year Price 10 Cents Tribune APRIL 22, 1960 voir and this is a spring lo cated at the construction site of the camping grounds. The county court said that no camping will be permitted within 200 feet of this spring. The Moose lodge has donat ed 20 garbage cans to the county for use at the rservoir and these are being installed near the springs and boat launchings today. Now under construction at the site are separate picnic and public use areas, each having access roads, fire places, comfort stations, ta bles, water supply and sew age disposal systems. Work is also being done on per manent boat ramps, boat docks, boat basins and park ing areas. All of this work, including renovation of the Old Hyatt Prairie rd., is being financed by the bureau of reclamation at a cost of approximately $140,000. These facilities will be turned over to the county when completed about Aug. 1.
