Khrushchev's at tacks on him and the Western world lying down. Taking the counter-offensive, the Chief Executive de clared in an off-the-cuff talk to Republicans at a dinner here Saturday night that the Soviet premier's "illlempered expressions" have brought the West closer together than at any time since he took office. Spying Held Proper Without mentioning it di rectly Eisenhower defended the role of the United States in sending U2 planes across Russia on spy missions, stat ing the Soviets live in a so ciety of secrecy "which we try to penetrate, and in my opinion properly." He touched on the Khru shchev tirades again Sunday at Notre Dame Uuniversity nt South Bend, Ind., where he flew on a quick one-day plane trip to make the commence ment address.

Reeder said today. 'Reeder Was referring to the area southwest of Medford which is having the problem of spetic tank discharge into Medford Irrigation district ditches and laterals. Area resi dents are considering annexa tion to Medford as one pos sible solntion. The method used most gen erally, Reeder said is to ob tain signatures of 100 per cent of the area's property owners who would consent to have their area annexed without holding an election. The peti tions would be presented to the city planning commission and then to the city council, the city attorney said. Another method is to de termine the area which should be annexed and hold two elec tions, one in the city and one in the area to be annexed. A second method is to dispense with the city election and only hold one in the area. A committee formed Friday night during a public meet ing in the courthouse is to consider possible solutions to the problem of sewage in ir rigation ditches and report back during a June 17 meet ing in the courthouse. District Attorney Thomas J. Reeder said today that the city may be under a moral obligation to annex the area, "but certainly would not be under an obliga tion to do so."
