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.

Lake Facilities Rudimentary
Fishermen headed for How
ard Prairie reservoir when
fishing season opens tomor
row will find little in the way
of camping or recreational
facilities.
However, three rudimentary
boat landings have been pro
vided by the county at the
reservoir and temporary rest
rooms have been erected espe
cially for fishing season. Per
manent recreational facilities
are now under construction,
but will not be completed for
several months.
Medford Parks and Recrea
tion Director Robert Haworlh,
who has been assisting the
county in an advisory capa
city to help prepare the reser
voir for the opening, points
out that fishing season is actu-
lly preceding the readiness
of the area for recreational
use.
Three Boat Launching Sites
The county recommends
that fishermen use the three
marked boat launching sites.
Attempts to launch boats
from other points around the
17, of 5067 Harris rd.. Central Point. The
driver, Martin Leonard Lemons Jr., 17, of
route 1, box 269, Central Point, was in
satisfactory condition In Sacred Heart hos
pital. The accident occurred at the intersec
tion of Fst Pine st. and Bigham dr.

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

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.

Weather Brings
Snow, Heating,
Concern of Roads
Orchards To Be
Heated Tonight
Yesterday's wintery weath
er brought snow to the Rogue
valley, temperatures 1 o w
enough for orchardists to light
heaters for the fifth time this
season, and some concern
from fishermen about acces
sibility to mountain lakes.
Fishermen tomorrow morn
ing, when lake fishing opens
in southern Oregon, will be
out in cool temperatures
under partly cloudy skies, ac-
night and Saturday. Tempera-
tures are expected to warm
tomorrow afternoon.
Temperatures tonight are
expected to be between 26
and 28 degrees in the valley,
with the possibility of "gen
erally moderate to heavy"
orchard heating tonight or
early tomorrow morning. A
minimum of 24 is expected in
the coldest orchards.
General Heating
Last night's heating was
general throughout the valley
with the minimum tempera
ture falling to 27 degrees, ac
cording to County Horticul
tural Agent Clifford B. Cordy.
Extent of damage during the
frost period probably was not
severe, he said.
Heaters were lighted about
10:30 p.m. yesterday in some
orchards, but later were ex
tinguished when a cloud lay
er covered the valley. Heaters
were ignited again about 2
o'clock this morning, and
burned until about 7 o'clock.
F.xtent of riamagf from
snow pellets yesterday after-1
noon is noi Known, oray
said. He added that some hail
may have fallen in some or
chard areas.
Yesterday's temperatures in
the valley were erratic. The
high of 47 degrees was re
corded between 10 and 11
a.m., and the low of 35 de
grees was recorded yester
day evening.
Travel Not Difficult
Yesterday's snow apparent
ly has not made travel In
mountain lakes too difficult,
according to reports this
morning.
A report from Fish lake
resort said cars drove there
this morning by way of Butte
Falls and Dead Indian rd.
without trouble. There was a
little snow on the road to the
lake from Butte Falls, but the
sun was expected to melt it.
Anglers were advised they
can get to the lake with a boat
trailer if they drive carefully.
Ice was reported on some
of the lakes, but it was re
ported breaking up.
All roads to lakes wnere
fishing season opens tomor
row were open at last reports.
Jackson county sheriffs
deputies will be at various
lakes this week end checking
boat numbers, titles and
licenses. Deputies said they
also would check for boat op
eration violations.
