Japan Putting Final Touches
On Security Pact With U. S.
Few Heed Call of
Leftist Leaders
To Demonstrate
Matt Struggle
, Seen Wednesday
' Tokyo-fllPD-The government
began final action today to
put the new U.S.-Japanese se
curity treaty into etlect, ignor
ing dwindling protest demon
(trations by its fanatic anti
American foes.
Leftist leaders had called
for a turnout of 35,000 per
sons to assail the pact, but
at 3 p.m. barely a tenth of
that number had appeared
outside the national capitol.
Half-Hearted Chants
Those who were on hand
straggled up and down in the
humid summer heat, half
heartedly chanting slogans de
nouncing the treaty and Pre
mier Nobusuke Kishi, its Japa
nese sponsor.
"We are saving our energy
for the mass struggle Wed
nesday (when the Communist
oriented Sohyo Union Federa
tion has scheduled a nation
wide strike)," one leftist lead
er said.
Earlier today, the pro-government
majority in Japan's
"Senate" had approved
changes in domestic law re
quired by the treaty. . .
Anger Registered
. The opposition Socialists,
who , did not learn of the
upper-house session until it
was over, registered their fu
tile anger by kicking the door
of the legislative chamber.
Kishi and Tsuruhei Malsu
no, president of the upper
house, left by a side exit to
avoid the threat of physical
attack by the frustrated So
cialists, i
. Parliamentary ratification
of the treaty was completed
automatically at midnight Sat
urday, when 30 days had pass
ed after its ratification by
the House of Representatives
without action by the upper
house.
Ratification by the U.S.
Senate, and a formal exchange
of documents registering the
mutual ratifications are need
ed now to make the pact fully
effective.

Education Platform
Outlined by Durno
Edwin R. Durno, Medford,
candidate for congress from
the fourth district, today ob
jected to federal aid to edu
cation. Durno was the prin
cipal speaker at a joint meet
ing of the Jackson County
club, Oregon Federation of
Republican Women, and the
Federation board of directors,
in Medford at noon today.
The congressional candidate
said, "I am not entirely
against federal aid to educa
tion, since some emergency
could arise where It might be
justified, but we simply must
get federal spending back to
a reasonable and sound basis.
As Thomas Jefferson said al
most 200 years ago, 'To pre
serve our Independence, we
must not let our rulers load
us with perpetual debt.' That
statement holds true today,
more than ever before.
Dr. Durno went on to out
line his platform on educa
tion, stressing the degrees of
participation on local, state
and national levels.
Oregon Secretary of State
Howell Appling was also In
attendance at the Medford
meeting. He met with his
Jackson county campaign
committee for a breakfast this
moning at the Medford hotel.

Algerian Rebels
Accept French
Offer for Talks
Tunis, Tunisia - IUP1I Al
gerian rebels today accepted
President Charles de Gaulle's
offer to negotiate an end to
five and one-half years of
cosily warfare.
A communique Issued by
the rebel Algerian provisional
government said Premier Fer
hat Abbas personally would
lead a peace delegation to
Paris.
The statement, replying to
a peace appeal issued by de
Gaulle last week, stressed the
rebels still were dissatisfied
with certain aspects of his
pledge of self-determination
for Algeria.
First Major Break
Nevertheless, the positive
reply appeared to spell the
first major break in a war
that numerous times has left
France tottering on the edge
of political, economic and
social collapse.
In Pans, official sources
said de Gaulle had been in
formed beforehand of the con
tents of the rebel reply and
considered it "not negative."
It currently is under study,
the sources said.
Pickets Parade
At Journal Building
Portland -IUPII- A group of
about 30 pickets marched
squirrel-cage style in front of
the Journal building for more
than two hours this morning.
Police sent extra officers to
the scene and at one point a
paddy wagon was sent for, but
no arrests were made and no
violence was reported.
Court Upholds
Investigation of
Negro Complaints
Ruling Clears Way
To Guarantee Vote
Washington -WPH- The Su
preme Court today struck
down lower court rulings that
prevented the Civil Rights
Commission from investigat
ing Negro complaints ot vot
i n g rights violations in
Shreveport, La.
The 7-2 ruling cleared the
way for the commission,
created by the 1957 Civil
Rights Act to guarantee Ne
gro rights in the South, to re
sume its inquiries. It has been
marking time since last July
pending a final decision on
the matter by the high court.
Dissenters were Justices
Hugo L. Black and William O.
Douglas. Chief Justice Earl
Warren wrote the majority
opinion, which represented a
major milestone in the long
standing fight between the
southern authorities and fed
eral officials over the civil
rights issue.
Negroes Restored Vote
Today's was the fourth civil
rights case to be decided by
the high court this term. On
Feb. 29 the court reversed a
lower court ruling that the
Civil Rights Act is unconsti
tutional and thus cleared the
way for more lawsuits by the
Justice Department on behalf
of voteless Negroes.
In the second opinion the
same day, the court ordered
1,377 Negroes restored to the
voting rolls of Louisiana.
The third case - from Ala
bama - posed the question of
whether the department may
sue a slate as an entity in
stead of state officials. This
issue petered out because the
new civil rights law passed
earlier this year authorizes
such suits.
The Shreveport ruling was
a highlight of a busy court
session in which tne justices
sought to clear up their
docket before adjourning for
the summer. Next Monday
was regarded as the probable
adjournment day.
Postpone Union Decision
The court also:
Ordered more arguments
next term on the issue of
whether union dues may be
used for political purposes
over the objections of work
ers who were compelled to
join the union.
Ruled, 0-4, tnat an enemy
alien may not appeal to
American courts if the Jus
tice Department denies his
claim to property seized by
this country during World
War II. It acted in a case
Involving Walter Schilling,
a German lawyer.
Upheld, 5-4, the validity of
the law denying social securi
ty benefits to most aliens who
have been deported to their
native countries. It acted in
case involving Emphram
Nestor, a Bulgarian deported
in 1956 on grounds of Com
munist party aetivity. His old
age payments were later
stopped.

Public Hearing
Tomorrow Night
On County Budget
A public hearing will be
held on the Jackson county
budget for the new fiscal year
at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Jack
son county courthouse audi
torium. The proposed total is
$4,427,586.72.
Among items which may be
discussed will be a request
by County Judge Earl Miller
to set aside $500 for study
of a possible home rule type
of county government.
Another item which may be
discussed is the capital im
provements sinking fund. The
levying board has allowed
$150,000 for the 1960-61 fiscal
year compared to $65,000 for
the current fiscal year.
Judge Miller noted that the
bulk of the county revenue
comes from O and C timber
sales. (The county does not
now rely on taxes for t inane.
ing its operations.) However,
the county budget committee
worked on the budget as if
the county had to make a tax
levy to meet expenses.
Another Item which may
come up for discussion is ad
ditional, help for the Jackson
county sheriff's office. Sher
iff Joe Walsh has repeatedly
asked for additional person
nel.
The budget committee has
increased the proposed alloca
tion for the child guidance
clinic from $2,000 to $4,000.
This was to allow for the pos
sibility of establishing a fam
ily counseling program in con
nection with the clinic al
though not earmarked specifi
cally for that.
The parks and recreation
budget has been increased
from $12,000 to $20,000 to
allow for expanded county
activity in this program. Cou
pled with that are tentative
plans to use people eligible
for general assistance money
from the welfare department
on a labor force for work on
such parks and recreation
projects and perhaps other
county work. A total of $3,600
has been allocated for this in
the new budget.

College Offers Two
Acres of Estate to
County for
Southern Oregon college
has agreed to turn over a
two-acre portion of the Britt
estate for development of a
park In Jacksonville. Exact
terms of the agreement have
yet to be worked out.
Dr. Elmo Stevenson, presi
dent of the college, presented
the offer to the county court
this morning during a meet
ing of representatives of the
Jacksonville city council, the
biskiyou Pioneer Sites foun
dation, Southern Oregon His
torical Society and the Jack
son county parks and recre
ation commission.
The two acres offered now
extends down to the Jackson-
ville highway and Includes
primarily the garden area
around the ruins ot pioneer
Photographer Peter Britt'
home. Southern Oregon col
lege plans to keep the timber-
lands of the Britt estate and
sell the timber on a sustained
yield basis, Dr. Stevenson ex
plained. ' The property
served by a threeiourths 'inch
water line , from the Jackson-
vine reservoir, a water- right
which would go with the two
acres.
Redevelopment Plan
Robert Haworth, director of
both Medford and Jackson
county parks and recreation
programs, said his group
would work with the Jackson
ville garden club and the
Jacksonville council on a re
development plan for the two
acres.
Fred Jones, who has been
living on the property, has a
contract to tear down the old
Britt home and winery. But
the contract docs not include
the original retaining wall on
the estate, the fountain, or
the fish pond. The grounds,
including the gardens, must
be left in good condition.
County Judge Earl Miller
said possibly the county could
use a work crew of county
welfare fund recipients on the
property. Tentative plans dis
cussed this morning call for
the county to obtain the
grounds from Southern Ore
gon college, develop them and
turn them over to the city of
Jacksonville for maintenance.
Alternatives
Dr. Stevenson said the col
lege, which was willed the
property in the Britt estate,
has three alternatives. It can
retain the property without
the buildings to be torn down,
turn the property over to
Jacksonville for much less
than the appraised value, or
release the property to the
county In return for a lease
on some land on the Howard
Prairie reservoir area. This
lease would have to be long
enough for erection of a kitch
en and lodge building, the
SOC president laid. The rec
reation land would be used for
teaching future camp coun
selors and possibly for a year-

Eisenhower tonight wound up
his crusade to rally the anti

joint communique with Pre
mier Hugh Chung before
boarding his jet plane to

End oi Tour
His departure marked the
end of a strangely mixed tour
on which he received tumul
tuous ovations from the peo
ples of three nations but had
to cancel his visit to Japan
because of violent leftwing
protests.
The President's plane took
off from Kimpo International
Airport at 8:17 p.m. (2:47 a.m.
p.s.t.), but because he will
cross the international date
line on the way back he was
to arrive in Hawaii at 12:18
p.m. today Hawaiian time
(2:18 p.m. p.s.t.)
The plane put down on
Wake Island briefly for re
