Six Accidents Are
Reported to City
Police Thursday
Medford police attributed
an unusually large number o
traffic accidents Thursday to
rain-slick streets. Six acci
dents were reported, one of
them resulting in minor in
juries to a 65-year-old Grants
Pass woman.
The woman, Grace Bcrnlce
Wolford, was the driver of a
car which collided with a ve
hicle operated by William
Goldsmith Preston, 25, of 1417
South Ivy st., about 11:14 a.m.
at the intersection of Eighth
and Orange sts.
Both drivers claimed to
police that the green light
was in their favor. The injur
ed woman was taken to Rogue
Valley hospital by Medford
Ambulance service. Police
said both cars sustained heavy
damage.
Thr.e-Car Miihap
A three-car traffic accident
occurred about 7:50 a.m. on
North Central ave. between
Fourth and Fifth sts., accord
ing to city police. Vehicles op
erated by Genevieve Laura
Ward, 32, of 1125'2 Niantic
st.. and Nicholas Francis Gier,
41, of 2900 North Pacific high
way, had stopped for traffic
on North Central ave. when
they were hit from the rear by
a car operated by UeraJd
Emerson Gilmore, 48, Rogue
River.
Police said the Gilmore ve
hicle apparently could not
stop in time to avoid the other
two vehicles because of the
wet pavement. He was not
cited, police said.
Another three-car acci
dent occurred at the inter
section of North Riverside
ave. and Edwards st. about
11:28 a.m. Police said a ve
hicle operated by Ronald
Clark, 44, of 601 Park st.,
was unable to stop on slick
pavement, and hit the rear of
a car operated by Marie Hol
ley, 32, of route 4, box 458A,
which had stopped for a red
light. Clark's vehicle in turn
was struck from the rear by
a car operated by Lylc Fronc
Woodfin, 40, of 188 Orr dr.,
Central Point. No citations
were issued.
Intersection Collision
Cars operated by Jesse
David Thomasson, 22, of 309
Chestnut st., and Basil Eugene
Pratt, 63, Pittsburg, Calif.,
collided at the intersection of
Eighth and Bartlett sis. about
12:25 p.m. according to police.
Damage was minor, and no
citations were Issued.
In another accident,
Thomas Michael Consbruck,
17, Phoenix, was cited for
failure to yield the right of
way after the vehicle lie was

hicle operated by Boyd Eslil
Jones, 20, of 722 Oak St.,
about 4:40 p.m., at the Inter
section of Central ave. and
Ninth st., according to city
police.
A third three-car collision
happened about 4:50 p.m. at
the Eighth st. and Riverside
ave. intersection when a car
operated by Roy Carl Ander
son, 50, 1187 Morrow rd.,
failed to stop on wet pave
ment and struck the rear of a
car operated by James Van
dersteen Jr., 25, of 900 Mira
Mar ave., which in turn hit
the rear of a car operated by
Howard Millage Bennett, 43,
Grants Pass police said.
Both the Vandersteen and
Bennett vehicles had been
stopped for a red light. Ander
son was cited by police for
violation of basic rule.

Seniors Awarded
Scholarships to
Attend Colleges
Two Medford High school
seniors have been awarded
college scholarships from
local and Eastern sources, it
was learned recently.
Robert Hamilton, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Moore Hamil
ton, 43 Rose ave., and Paul
Moore, son of the Rev. and
Mrs. Sherman Moore, Seattle,
Wash., are recipients of the
awards.
Hamilton has received a
$7,000 scholarship to Dart
mouth college in Hanover,
N.H. The scholarship provides
$1,750 for the first year, and
is renewable annually for
four years contingent upon
his maintenance of high
scholastic standings.
Wins Scholarship
Moore has won the eighth
KMED scholarship given by
the radio station. Station of
ficials said the award, worth
$180 and to be applied at any
Oregon college, is awarded on
the basis of need, scholastic
ability, activities participa
tion, character and citizen
ship, and experience in
speech or similar activity.
Young Hamilton is student
body president at MHS, has
been a member of the band
for three years, and has par
ticipated in track for the
same period. Recently he was
announced as a member of
the academic honors group
consisting of the top 5 per
cent of the graduating class
scholastically.
Moore is currently presi
dent of the high school choir,
and ' is a member of the
Strollers, a high school male
quartet that has made numer
ous public appearances. He
was also vice president of his
class as a sophomore, and is
a member of the Thespians, a
drama club.

ning presiuenliai candidate
who won the Oregon pri
mary. Mrs. Neuberger told the
Washington Post, in a tele
phone interview, that she
still thinks the party may
turn to Adlai Stevenson be
cause of the uncertainty of
the international situation.
Several things about this
have caused the Kennedy
forces to blink in dismay.
They note that on her return
to Oregon early in May, Mrs.
Neuberger stopped in Chi
cago for lunch with the for
mer Illinois governor. Later
she told reporters that Steven
son felt if Kennedy won the
Oregon primary, he had "a
right to the nomination."
Kennedy last week won the
Oregon contest in a heavy
vote over all other contend
ers. What is more, Kennedy's
people point out that Steven
son got much less write-in
support this year than he did
as a write-in winner of the
primary in 1956.
"Stevenson's small write-in
vote indicates there is no
great groundswell of senti
ment for him in Oregon," ob
served one of the Massa
chusetts senator's aides.
Mrs. Neuberger told the
Post she thought the world
situation may make the Demo
cratic convention decide on a
man of Stevenson's "experi
ence." Mrs. Neuberger, the Demo
cratic nominee for the U.S.
Senate in the fall election,
keyed her own election pros
pects to the world situation
as well.
"I think everything depends
on the world situation, ' she
remarked. "If the people feel
they have a better chance of
peace with the Democrats
then we're going to sweep in
across the country. But if
they have confidence in Vice
President Nixon, he s going
to carry a lot of Republicans
to victory with him.
Top Choice Important
Candidates running for
slate offices are going to ride
wilh the top of the ticket,"
she added, indicating how im
portant she believes the choice
of the Democratic presidential
candidate will be to other
party candidates such as her
self. Mrs. Neuberger's unwilling
ness to get on the Kennedy
bandwagon leaves Oregon's
two top Democrats standing
aloof from the winner of the
state's presidential primary.
Sen. Wayne Morse, since his
defeat by Kennedy, has had
little to say, but he. too is
pro-Stevenson.
Whether either of these
Stevenson supporters will be
at the convention at Los
Angeles is doubtful. Mrs.
Neuberger told the Post she
has. no plan to attend the na
tional convention. Some
Democrats here think she
would be better advised to
attend, to mix with party
politicians who might prove
helpful in her Senatorial cam
paign. "
Depends on Alternate Role
Morse's attendance at the
convention may depend on
whether he becomes an al
ternate, which is what he had
wanted before he went down
to defeat in three primaries,
Alternates are chosen by the
elected delegates. When he
expressed the wish to be an
alternate, Morse confidently
figured on having a block of
delegates boosting his candi
dacy. Now it is clear that
won't be the case.
Some of Morse's Democrat
ic colleagues hope he will go
as an alternate and not iso
late himself from the proceed
ings because of the disappoint
ment of his defeat. They say
he can go for the asking.

There are four times when
it is especially important to
consult the social security of

Jacobson, district manager of
the Medford social security
office.
One is when the worker ap
proaches retirement age (age
62 for women or age 65 for
men), "It's good business at
this time," Jacobson said, "to
find out about your social
security rights, and if you are
within three months of your
actual retirement date you
may file application for ben

person reaches age 72 and has
not previously filed for ben

to work past age 65. Benefits
may be payable at 72, even
if he is still working.
Number three is a seriously

Compact Cars Gain
In Popularity Here
New York - The production
of compact cars, now almost
hitting a yearly rate of two
million, may rise another half
million, says Fortune. Ram
bler and Valiant are expand
ing their production; Falcon
and Corvair will soon intro
duce station wagons for the
first time; and Ford has begun
introduction of its new Comet,
probably to be followed by a
General Motors "medium'
small car in the fall.
One important factor in the
success of the compacts, ac
cording to Fortune, is that the
size and price classes of the
old "low price'' group Chev
rolct, Ford, Plymouth have
been running into the onetime
"medium range." This has left
market room for smaller cars.
room which the compacts are
filling.
"Meanwhile, medium and
top-priced cars together have
been maintaining sales quite
well since 1057," Fortune
said.
