Gromyko Expected To Veto Talk Bid United Nations, N. Y. tUPIt Western diplomats predicted today Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko would veto a small power appeal for the resumption of East-West peace talks under United Na tions auspices. Gromyko, voted down in his demand for a Security Council condemnation of American U2 flights and needled by the dramatic dis closure that Soviet agents had planted listening devices in the great seal of the United States in the Moscow embassy conceded the resolution has some merits. But he claimed its main effect was to shield America's "Hitlerite" policy of aggres sion - a policy which he charged was openly embraced by President Eisenhower.

Increase in Budget Although the budget repre sents an increase over last year, the property tax levy is expected to be less next fiscal year because of addi tional county school support funds. , The budget approved yes terday is $21,279 less than the proposal previously re jected by the voters.

Also increased is the bond interest and redemption fund to provide the first payment of interest and principal on the $750,000 bond issue ap proved by district voters earlier this year.

If Khrushchev thinks he can capitalize on the incident of the U2 with all the questions with which it had been handled world off balance, he has still a The greatest mistake he can he can frighten or bully the West into surrender on his terms as a price for coexistence with him which at best would mean a precarious peace. I would suggest to Khrushchev that he stop his rocket rattling and probing for soft spots in the alliance of the free people of the world lest he go too far and blunder into danger.

Following the public hear ing, the planning commission will study the proposal fur ther and make its recommen dations to the county court. The county court may call a further public hearing or may pass on the proposal. Interim zoning means an area can be zoned for three years, after which area resi dents can vote it out. If they allow it to stand, it becomes law. Approximately 175 persons attended a public hearing last night in the county courthouse for zoning of the White City area. The majority of persons attending seemed to favor the zoning, but wanted to know more about it. Copies of the proposed interim zoning ordi nance were distributed to a nine - member committee which will consider it and a proposed county building code, and meet with the coun- ty planning commission in the near future.

Writer ernment. He is completely uninformed about how our people are governed and how our people check and retain control of those in whom they vest the authority of government. Other dictators have grossly miscalculated in their fail ing to understand the determination and capacity of the American people to maintain their freedom. I hope Khrushchev will not try to join the ranks of those who have misjudged us. Dictators: Americans Won't Panic I had to live through some crises with the Kremlin when I was President. And now, as a plain citizen, looking at the world situation, I would like to offer this observation to the dictators in the Kremlin: the American people cannot be panicked. They are patient and hopeful that peace can be maintained. They will support and encourage their govern ment's efforts to find ways and means to secure the peace. To this end the American people will see to it that we possess the necessary strength until such time as the United Nations will have the means of settling disputes and differences be tween nations. Whatever problems of leadership we may have from time to time, we are a free people and can correct the things that need to be corrected. But what throws an ominous shadow over the world Is just behind the clump of trees in back of the grader. Paving of the new section will be completed by early fall, but the bridge over Bear creek will not finished until November, according to Medford Public Works Director Vernon Thorpe. j Memorial Day Activities Told Activities scheduled Memo rial Day in.

Reqional Edition Medford 24 PAGES Herter Believes Plane Incident Gave 'K' Fuel Washington -IUPD- Secretary of State Christian A. Herter acknowledged today that So viet Premier Nikita Khrush chev might have found it im possible to torpedo the sum mit conference had it not been for the American spy plane incident. It is debatable whether it would have been possible for Mr. Khrushchev to devise another pretext for so radical and violent a position," Her ter told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Other Major Factors Herter, lead-off witness at the committee's historic In- quiry into ine evenis leaaing to the Rlimmit COllnDSe. Cited to the summit collapse, cited two other major factors which in "combination", he said probably impelled Russia to scuttle last week's Paris Big Four meeting: -Khrushchev's app a r e n conclusion that in the face of western unity, especially on the Berlin issue, "there was little likelihood of his having his way" at the summit. -"Serious questioning ' and possibly outright opposition in the Soviet hierarchy to Khrushchev's personal diplo macy and so-called "soflcr" line toward the West. This probably was reinforced by bitter Chinese Communist op position to Khrushchev's pre summit attitude toward the West. (Continued on Page 2) onfusion Noted in Measure Wording Chief Deputy District Attor ney Gerald Scannell said to day that no change could be made in the wording of the dog control measure on the ballot, even if it Is referred to the people again, The district attorney's of fice said It has received many calls protesting the wording of the measure as it was listed on the ballot May 20. It was reported a number of peti tions are being circulated ask ing that the dog control meas ure be referred to the people again for vote. "People have thought the wording misleading," Scan nell said. However, he noted, state law provides for word ing which appeared on the ballot. All dog control measures passed, the county, city of Medford, and those for Pre cincts 65 and 68A. Rogue River's dog control measure passed 117 to 53, according to Mayor John Leyen.

Architect Robert J. Kee- ney's estimate was $60,938. The work is pirt of the two- year building progrsm ap proved by district voters ear lier ttiif ear. Truman Says tne seli-perpetuating dictatorship in the Kremlin, where a handful of people supported by the military, imposes its will not only on Its own people but is attempting to Impose it on the rest of the world. The principle source of the difficulties the world has been having in trying to establish a basis for peace is the Kremlin's ruthless dictatorship. Gross Insult Hurled at Americans Khrushchev even had the audacity to inject himself into our internal affairs and the coming elections by serving notice that he would no longer deal with us except through the next President, providing he finds the next President to his liking. Never has so gross an insult been hurled at the American people by the head of a nation. What seems to me to be more to the point is that the free world would breathe easier and be more hopeful that peace could be possible if Dictator Khrushchev were suc ceeded by someone capable of more reason and sense and wiser in the ways of the world. I hope that some day the good people of Russia, who have never known free govern ment, will join with other free peoples to put an end to dictatorships which are always provocative of wars.

New Regime Tells Of Loyalty To West Alliances Premier Menderit Placed Under Arrest Br United Press International Turkey's pro-western army seized control of the govern ment today in a midnight rev olution and arrested Premier Adrian Menderes because it said his dictatorial regime was leading the country to "bloody fratricide" at a time of grave international crisis.
