New Press Used
Today to Print
Edition of M-T
Today's issue of the Mail
Tribune is being printed on
its new press.
The 109-ton machine, erect
ed by the Walter Scott Co.,
of Plainfield, N.J., has been
undergoing test runs for the
past week. Today, however, a
full issue of the paper is be
ing produced on all-new print
ing and stereotyping equip
ment. ,
Today's issue totals 24
pages, and more than 18,000
copies will be printed, using
a total of more than six tons
of newsprint.
The new press can print a
maximum of 48,000 copies per
hour, and can produce up to
48 pages at one time, com
pared to a speed of 26,000
copies per hour and a capacity
of 16 pages at one time for
the old press, which has been
in service since 1931. An
eight-page flatbed press was
in use before that.
Greater Flexibility
The new equipment also
will provide greater flexibil
ity in the use of color, which
is becoming more and more
popular in today's news
papers. The press is housed in a
new tawny-brick building con
structed especially to house
It on Grape st. The building
also contains the stereotyping
equipment, which makes the
semi-circular metal castings
which do the actual printing.
The building has large win
dows through which interest
ed spectators can watch the
press in action. A vari-colored
sidewalk on Grape St., and
planters in which trees and
shrubs will be located are also
features of the new structure,
which is across the alley from
the Mail Tribune business, ad
vertising, news-editorial and
printing-composing room fa
cilities facing on Fir St.
The composing room will
be expanded into the space
occupied by the old press af
ter it is moved out.
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. The
school board postponed sev
eral items, and eliminated
two programs. Further reduc
tions would have jeopardized
the overall educational pro
gram, the board believed.
The general fund budget
totals $3,893,567.99 next
school year, and represents
salary increases for certified
and non - certified personel,
and increases in general op
erating and maintenance ex
penses. 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.
Woman Arraigned
On Drug Charge
A 41-year-old Medford wom
an was arraigned in distrit
court this morning on a
charge of fradulently obtain
ing narcotic drugs.
Mrs. Frances Grace Good
let, 4171 South Pacific high
way, waived a preliminary
hearing and her case has been
bound over to the grand jury.
She has been released on bail
which was set at $1,500.
Medford police arrested
Mrs. Goodlet Thursday after
receiving a complaint from
a local druggist that the wom
an had been purchasing "un
usual" amounts of percodan
and using different names in
making the purchases.
Police learned that Mrs.
Goodlet had allegedly made
22 separate purchases of quan
itities of the drug from vari
ous drug stores in Medford,
Phoenix and Ashland. All of
the purchases had been made
this year, police said.
They also found that Mrs.
Goodlet had obtained pre
scriptions for the drug from
seven different Medford doc
tors. Fraudulently obtaining nar
cotic drugs carries a maxi
mum penalty of 10 years in
prison or a $5,000 fine..

Zoning Hearing Is
Set for West Side
A public hearing- on pro
posed interim zoning for the
West Side area will be held
at the West Side school at 8
p.m., June. 1, the. .Jackson
county planning commission
has announced.
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.

It was the concensus last
night that there should be a

zoning district for specific
purposes.
However, there seemed to
be a difference of opinion over
what areas should be set
aside. A number of people ob
jected to not receiving copies
of the proposed interim ordi
nance. The attitude of the
commission was to hear what
the residents ideas were on
interim zoning of the area.
After further hearings and
discussions Issuance of copies

Religious Teaching

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.

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.

Measure Wording
Chief Deputy District Attor
ney Gerald Scannell said to

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

passed 117 to 53, according to

Contract Awarded
For School Project
H. C. Goldsmith, Medford,
was awarded a contract by
the Medford school board late
yesterday to construct a two-

unit addition to West Side
school.
Goldsmith's basic bid was
$59,902.82. Three other bids
were received. They were My
ers D. Jones, Medford, $62,
700; Don Jacobs, Medford,
$62,611; and Frank Fair

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.
