Should
Secretary Says
Plans Ought To
Stay Unchanged
Japanese Security
Treaty OK Urged
Washington-flJPD - Secretary
Cf State Christian A. Herter
told Congress today he be
lieves President Eisenhower
should go through with plans
to visit Japan despite increas
ing anti-American demonstra
tions there.
Herter told the Senate For
eign Relations committee that
"under the existing circum
stances, I think the plans
ought to remain unchanged."
Wants Closed Session
He said he would prefer
to have any other discussion
of the trip in closed session
rather than the public hear
ing. Herter made the statement
in reply to a question by Sen.
Bourke B. Hickenlooper (It
Iowa) after he had urged the
Senate group to approve the
new U.S.-Japanese security
treaty which has provoked
mounting left wing demon
strations in Japan.
Several committee mem
bers, including Chairman J.
William Fulbright (D-Ark),
earlier had voiced concern
about the wisdom of Eisen
hower going through with his
forthcoming visit to Japan in
light of the disturbances.
- The White House had "no
comment" on Fulbrlght's sug
gestion that Eisenhower
should not go to Japan "unless
he can be properly received."
Would Help Leftwingers
Herter's attitude reflected
the feeling in administration
quarters that postponement or
cancellation of the President's
trip under fire would give the
Communists and leftwing ele
ments in Japan a consider
able victory and possibly un
dermine the pro-American
Kishi government which still
commands the support of
more than 60 per cent of the
Japanese Parliament. Eisen
hower is scheduled to leave
here Sunday and arrive in
Japan June 19.

The $1,800 needed to send
the band was raised several
weeks ago, but Mrs. Tabor re
ported that sale of festival
tickets to send a float met
with little success. Little more
than $100 of the necessary

booster club members each
donated about $25 to under

Mrs. Tabor said the Ash

short of having the $1,500.

Morse Proposes Pay
Cut in Congress
Washington (UPD Sen.
Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) revolt
ed against the Senate Labor
Committee minimum wage
law recommendations today
by introducing a bill to cut-
salaries of congressmen and
their staffs to 53 cents an
hour.
This, he said, was the same
figure thousands of laundry
workers are now being paid.
Members of the House and
Senate make $22,500 in salary
plus some expense allowances.
Morse's action came after
the committee voted to limit
to 6,833,000 the number of
additional workers to be
blanketed under the minimum
wage law.
Morse said he was present
ing the measure as a protest
against the Labor Committee
cutting thousands of low-paid
laundry workers out of the
minimum wage bill.

Ike, Herter
Nixon Appears as
Favorite Target
Moscow - (UPD - The Soviet
Union today followed up Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev's de
nunciation of President Eisen
hower with new press and
radio attacks against the Pres
ident and his administration.
Pravda, the official Com
munist Party newspaper, hit
out at Secretary of State Chris
tian A. Herter for his ex
pression of "disgust" at Khru
shchev's press conference last
week.
It said he did not mention
Khrushchev's disarma m e n t
proposals because he has "lost
his balance due to the failure
of the espionage activities . . .
He is trampling underfoot ele
mentary standards of interna
tional law."
Foreign observers here have
mentioned the U.S. president
ial campaign as one of the
underlying motives of the at
tack. But others discount this
view, pointing out that the
Russians do not believe there
is enough difference between
the American parties to make
the November outcome impor
tant. Whatever the reason, the fa
vorite target appears to be
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, although Eisenhower
himself has been singled out
repeatedly, in contrast to the
tactics before the summit.
"Ogonyok," the Soviet
Union's leading picture maga
zine, printed a photograph of
the President leaning on a golf
club with a caption including
these remarks:
Dangerous foe Peace
"The government headed by
Eisenhower has started a dif
ferent game, taking violation
of major norms of internation
al law as rule. Eisenhower
may prefer golf to presidential
duties, and this is his own
business, but it is too danger
ous for peace for the Ameri
can government to play with
fire by committing aggressive
acts against the Soviet Union."
Tass, the official Soviet
news agency, called the Presi
dent's forthcoming trip to Ja
pan a case of "unceremon
iously intervening in the do
mestic affairs of Japan" and
said "no self-respecting states
man could allow himself to
impose his visit in defiance of
such opposition."

Moible Concession
Recommended for
Recreation Area
A temporary and mobile
concession should be permit
ted at Howard Prairie reser
voir recreation area this sum
mer and next, the Jackson
county parks and recreation
commission advised the coun
ty court last night.
The recommendation was
made on a motion by com
mission member Lawrence V.
Espey, Medford. Robert L.
Haworth, Medford parks and
recreation director acting as
county parks and recreation
director, said a man could be
brought into Howard Prairie
by July 4.
It may be necessary to sub
sidize such a concessionaire
for this short summer season,
It waa agreed. This could be
done on a graduated basis,
making up the difference fol
lowing an audit of the books,
Haworth suggested. So far 14
people have applied for a con
cession. .' '
Emigrant Reservoir
A year from now something
could be done about a con
cession ' for emigrant reser
voir, the recreation director
added. Half of the application
letters received have asked
for concessions at both How

said.
Such a concession would be
County Home Rule
Resolution Set
A resolution calling for
establishing home rule gov
ernment in Jackson county
will be signed tomorrow, ac
cording to County Judge Earl
Miller.
The signing was scheduled
Monday, but was delayed
since County Commissioner
Chester Wendt was in Port
land attending an executive
meeting of the Association of
Oregon Counties.
Following the resolution
the county court must appoint
charter committee. A list
of possible committee mem
bers will be drawn up when
Wendt returns. Miller said,
The resolution must be re
ferred to the county clerk for
posting within 45 days alter
it has been signed. Then, in
60 days the committee must
be appointed to form a char
ter for the home rule county
government.
The committee submits the
charter to the public for
vote. This committee may be
dissolved immediately after
the charter is established, or
in two years.
Miller said five or six Ore
gon counties now have this
type of government. He listed
advantages as more central
control through a board of
supervisors or the county
court, and possibility of
county bonding or Bancroft-

The recommendation was for-

week ago, commission mem
bers pointed out.
Used Lake
Haworth estimated that
Howard Prairie reservoirl

holiday. During some week
days .about 100 boats have
been counted on the lake, he
said. Volunteers are needed
to clear debris from hear the
shoreline since this is danger
ous to water-skiers, commis
sion members said. Some la
bor will be available after
July 1, Haworth said.
Walter Hoffbuhr, Talent Ir
rigation district manager said
maximum of 15,000 acre
feet of water would be drawn
down from Howard Prairie
reservoir during the current
irrigation season. This would
mean a vertical maximum
draw down of 11.2 feet. This
would not be drawn all at
once, but would not oe re
placed until this winter.
The commission formally
recommended that the coun
ty court suggest to the state
highway commission that
three roadside park sites be
developed along Bear creek
at Phoenix. Talent and the
north half of a site north of
Ashland.
The sites would be cleared
and developed as the highway

At least 100 persons were

a 1,000-man disaster force got
all to the surface apparently
without loss of life.
Some passengers were
stranded in the lightless tun

firemen battled the two-alarm .
blaze. Others linked hands
and groped their way through
the smoke for as far as three
fourths of a mile to station
platforms. '
Little Panic Reported
Even in the fright of chok

ported. The fire broke out in a
pile of construction lumber
one block south of Grand
Central Terminal at 9:24 a.m.
(e.d.t.) toward the end of the
morning subway jam. What
would have been a minor fire
threatened a major disaster
with crowded city subway
