0 CD o i -Gnother Daughter Satellites Orb t Regional Edition Medford 24 PAGES Japan Kishi Cabinet Outwits Leftists To Ratify Treaty Tokyo - 1UPJ) Thousands of leftist students and labor union members staged a "Yan kee go home" demonstration before the national parliament building today in a futile last ditch effort to smash the U.S. japan security treaty. - The demonstration grew in tempo with the disclosure that Prime Minister Nobosuke Kishi's cabinet and Emperor Hirohito secretly put the treaty through its final Japan ese r a t i f i c a tion processes Tuesday night. Action Kept Quiet The action was kept so quiet instead of a cabinet meeting messengers took the docu ments, to individual cabinet members' homes - that not even the energetic Japanese press or the nation's largest press association knew about it until many hours later. More than 2,000 union and fanatic Zengakuren student demonstrators rallied before the Diet (parliament) which has been under siege almost daily in protest against the treaty and Kishi's govern ment. Expected To Resign Kishi is expected to resign and call for new national elections shortly after the ar ticles of ratification are ex changed. Union workers carried many placards reading "Yan kee go home . . . expel Ameri can bases . . . lake your U2s back to America." Phoenix Water to Be Turned Off Phoenix - Water will be shut off throughout Phoenix at 2 p.m. Monday, June 27, Mayor Arthur H. MacKintosh announced today. The water will be off for about five hours to allow for starting part of the new city water system, he explained. Me suggested that residents draw enough water for cook ing and drinking to cover the five-hour period. "When the water is turned back on it will take only a few moments to fill the reser voir and the service will be complete again," he added. "The new system will be in use July 1." The water supply is good, but water rationing will con tinue in Phoenix until further notice, the mayor said. Airlines Expected To Resume Operations By United Press International Eastern and Pan-American Airlines expected to resume full operations today, ending a "sick call" pilots strike over federal inspectors riding the third scat in jet cockpits. ". . . Go Man Senate OK's MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1960 Pact Washington- IUP1I - The Sen ate overwhelmingly ratified the U. S. - Japanese security treaty today, all but finally sealing a pact which was still triggering leftist mob demon strations in Tokyo. The 10-year mutual defense agreement, put through its fi nal ratification stages in Ja pan Tuesday night, permits continuance of U.S. bases in Japan under conditions more favorable to that govern ment. To Exchange Documents All that remained was for the ratified treaty to be rush ed to Hawaii for signing by President Eisenhower -and then for the Japanese and American documents to be exchanged in Tokyo, proba bly Friday. The exact time of the ex change was expected to be kept secret to avoid a bitter end demonstration by Communist-agitated mobs which have rioted against each ear lier stage of treaty action. The Senate debated the treaty about eight hours Tuesday, but postponed final approval until today. A limi tation of just 30 minutes was placed on final debate. World Wide Interest World-wide interest in the pact mounted in recent weeks because it had been drawn into Japan's current political whirlwind and had figured in cancellation of President Eisenhower's good will visit to that country. The treaty was approved here today four days after its first-stage ratification became effective in Tokyo. Tuesday night, Prime Minister Nobu suke Kishi's cabinet and Em peror Hirohito applied the finishing touches for their country, outwitting thous ands of leftists who had staged a last-ditch demonstra tion against the agreement. Lutherans Approve Northwest District Fergus Falls, Minn.-IUPII-The formation of a new Pacific Northwest district in the church of the Lutheran Brethren of America has been approved by the group's Synod convention.

Eisenhower Plans Report to People On Far East Tour Time for Speech Not Scheduled Honolulu - (UPII - President Eisenhower was preparing to day a report to the American people on his controversial Far Eastern tour. He feels that evaluations in dicate the trip was highly successful in generating good will for the United States at a time when America was under heavy Communist propaganda in the Orient. Results on Plus Side The President, after check ing reaction with Secretary of State Christian A. Hcrter, is convince- the net result of his arduous journey was on the plus side - despite cancela tion of his trip to Japan and the occurrence of anti-American demonstrations at Oki nawa. Eisenhower plans to remain in Hawaii until the week end, unless urgent congressional business arises in the mean time. He is working on his television and radio report to the American people with one of his top speech writers, Dr. Kevin McCann. Time Not Set A time for the speech has not been set, but it will be shortly after he returns to Washington. Eisenhower also is expected to hold a news conference in the nation's cap ital next week. The White House took a non-commital attitude toward testimony by Herter that Ei senhower planned no more personal goodwill trips abroad. Exclusive Franchise Vetoed by Mayor Medford Mayor John W Snider Tuesday vetoed a 10 year exclusive garbage dis posal franchise for the City Sanitary Service. The fran chise ordinance was approved last week by the city council by a vote of 5 to 3. In vetoing the bill, Mayor Snider stated in a letter to City Recorder D. F. Huson that he has great respect for the present franchise holders and for their continuing ef forts toward the abatement of air pollution, but he added that in no other single in stance does the city offer an exclusive franchise. The mayor concluded that the veto will afford addition al time for study and action. The terms of the franchise required that garbage dis posal be done by the sanitary land-fill method. In exchange for the franchise the company would pay the city 2 per cent of its gross revenue each year. Vehicle Insurance Loophole Noted Salem-OJPD-The State De partment of Motor Vehicles and the Legislative Interim Committee on Highways mov ed today to plug a loophole in the new Oregon uninsured motorist act. The act provides that after an accident, a driver without car insurance must buy the insurance or suffer loss of his driver's license. But Robert Holland of the Motor Vehicle Department told the committee today that there is a situation where out-of-state insurance companies not authorized to do business in Oregon are selling polices to Oregon residents and the Oregon insurance commission er has no jurisdicition over the companies. At the same time, the pol icies, "sometimes uncollect able for the driver who was not at fault," satisfy require ments of the new law, he said. Holland said the firms, which sell low-cost policies, advertise in newspapers and elsewhere and solicit the in surance by mail. Portland (UPD - Mayor Terry Schrunk has appointed Edgar Williams, 70, as the first Ne gro member of the seven-man Portlandhousing authority. Sun Valley, Idaho - (UPD -The 1960 seed crop yields for Idaho. and eastern Oregon are predicted as being somewhat below normal. Tribune Budget Approval Postponed Pending Action on Approval of the 1960-61 county budget was postponed at last night's public hearing to consider the sheriff's re quest for three more deputies in the criminal division. Deadline for turning the county budget over to the county assessor is July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year. The county budget com mittee will meet on the sher iff's request and accept or re- 90 Per Cent of Pledges Made for Building Are Paid Ashland Nearly 90 per cent of the pledges made in the Oregon Shakespearean Festival building fund drive have been paid in full, Fes tival officials said today. And they added that the number of "non-collectible" and "delinquent" pledges are far below the averages expect ed on the basis of other fund raising campaigns. The drive, conducted in 1958 to finance construction of the new Festival theater, raised nearly $270,000. Most of the money came from don- ore in Ashland and Medford, but pledges were made in smaller amounts from throughout the United States. Pledges Outstanding Most pledges still outsland ing are being paid off at a regular rate, Festival officials reported, although about 1 per cent of them have been writ ten off as non-collectible, and another 1.2 per cent are be hind schedule. A number of the pledges will not be paid off until in 1961, as the donors elected to spread their pay ments over a three-year per iod. Loans based on the pledged donations were used to help pay for construction of the new theater building in time for the 1959 Festival season. These loans are now 61.2 per cent paid off, with 38.8 per cent remaining to be retired. The loans amounted to $43, 500, or 16.3 per cent of the campaign total. Of the pledged total, only 11 per cent remains unpaid, with the remaining 89 per cent paid in full. Festival officials said that other fund-raising drives have reported that up to 5 per cent of their pledges have proven non-collectible, and that the 1 per cent rate experienced so far by the Festival is most gratifying. They added that even "de linquent" pledges, in most cases, are made good sooner or later. French Fear Peace Talks to Collapse Paris -IliPll- French leaders feared today that peace talks with the Algerian rebels might break down over dip lomatic protocol before they even start. Rebel leaders In Tunis were reported grumbling over re ports that President Charles de Gaulle would appoint a subordinate to begin the cease fire talks with the rebels, rather than entering them himself. The rebels showed their pique Tuesday by refusing to allow their advance emissary to fly to Paris in a plane pro vided by the French govern ment. They made it clear they in tended to be treated as ap pointed representatives of the Algerian people - not as a factional political group. Portland - (UPD - Herbert Phllbrick, one-time counter spy for the FBI, and seven other persons who are authori ties on Communist penetra tion will attend a national study and action conference here June 27-July 2. Reno, Nev. (UPD - Glen W. Holcomb, chairman of the de partment of civil engineering at Oregon State college, is the official nominee for presi dent of the American Society of Civil Engineers for 1960-61O Price 10 Cents No. 80 Request jeet it. No other hearing or action is required. The bud get committee consists of members of the county court and lay members Arnold Boh nert, Central Point, Lynn Newbry, Ashland, and Gordon Hudson, Medford. The budget committee must approve it as a whole before it is turned over to the coun ty assessor. The sheriff's request, if ap proved by the budget com mittee, would mean an In crease of $13,782 or a budget total of $4,441,868.72. It would raise the sheriff's de partment budget from $186, 458 to $200,400. The budget committee last night added $500 for study of county home rule govern jnent. This was approved. Sheriff Joe Walsh explain ed that addition of three depu ties would allow the men to have a five-day work week as other police agencies now en joy. The three men would start at $353 a month for six months and be increased to $371 a month for the remain ing six months of the year. The proposed addition would include $750 for uniforms and equipment. Questions Request Gerald Latham, represent ing the Medford Chamber of Commerce, questioned the sheriff's request. He said the county already has a balanced budget and didn't see how the additional salaries could be added without drawing on the emergency fund or cutting down on other department budgets to compensate. Wil liam Doernbach, John Nieder- meyer and Henry Conger also opposed the request. The county judge explained that the new fiscal year would be the fourth lime the county has not had to make a levy on taxable property for county government ex penses due to O and C timber receipts. He also noted that the county has granted the school district $35 per census child. This reduces the tax millage in the school districts, he explained. Assessed Value Raised "Then why is it property for assessed value has been raised pretty generally over the county if we don't have to raise taxes in this county?" Conger, Ross lane, asked. Judge Miller explained that there are other taxing units in the county for which the taxes have to be raised. Doernbach read a letter noting that considerable study has been made in the county on air pollution, water pollu tion and sewage disposal prob lems "but not much done about it." Fifty thousand dol lars should be added to the county budget to hire the scientists, engineers and oth er people needed to work with the county planning commis sion to solve the problems, he suggested. Despite Judge Miller s ex planation that the county docs not have any Bancrotting or bonding powers, Dorenbach insisted that sections of the state law provide the county the power to construct sew age disposal systems. The county judge explained that this power would come from county home rule if ap proved for the county. Steps are being taken now to start the study, he said. Doernbach also objected that $2,000 allocated In the county budget for a planning consultant's services from the bureau of municipal research is too small. Mamie Returns To White House Washington -OJPIl- Mrs. Ma mie Eisenhower was home again in the White House to day and "feeling fine", after three weeks of treatment in Walter Reed Army Medical Center for acute asthmatic bronchitis. Mrs. Eisenhower left the hospital Tuesday. Associate White House press secretary Mrs. Anne Wheaton said the First Lady was "feeling fine." Mrs. Eisenhower entered Walter Reed on May 31 with what the White House des cribed as the mosl0evcre at tack she had ever suffered. Kv u I V ;7 : .

The diagram shows the Ashland Council Discusses Street Extension, Hospital Ashland A brief, quiet meeting was expected by the Ashland city council last night but two issues extension of a two-block street and the meth od of selecting a new hospital board stretched the some times heated session through more than two hours. The street In question was Quincy St., located at the low er end of Iowa st. extending from Wighlman to Garfield sts. It had been proposed to extend it two blocks to Moun tain ave. from one end and about 2i blocks to Walker ave. from the other end. The city planning commission rec ommended the extension. Asland Postmaster Parker Hess, who lives in the area concerned spoke In opposition to the proposal, and also had a few comments on what he termed Southern Oregon col lege's "heavy-handed" man ner in planning to build a stadium in the area. Public Interest Hess said it would be "In the general public interest" to extend Iowa st. rather than Quincy and added that the plan to extend the latter is "for selfish Interests, for the college." Linn County Forms Chamber of Commerce Brownsvllle(UPIi-Linn coun ty has its first county-wide Chamber of Commerce.

Listening throughout most of the discussion was Council man Don Lewis, business man ager at SOC, who later said the college "can't pinpoint a spot for a stadium" because "we don't know ourselves we don't have the money." Rattlesnake Bite Victim Improving ' Palm Springs, Calif. - (UPD -Robert Howard Jr., 19-year-old son of millionaire sports man Bob Howard, was re moved from the critical list today at Desert hospital where he is undergoing treat ment for rattlesnake bite, t Physicians said Howard, grandson of the late Charles Howard - owner of Seablscuit and other famed race horses was "coming along nicely." Doctors at first expressed fear that the young snake fancier, Injected with anti-venom scr um on three previous occas ions, had developed an allergy to the medication. He was bitten on a finger of the right hand Saturday night by a desert sidewinder which he had caged in his home.

(UPI Telephoto) The council temporarily dis posed of the issue by passing a motion to have representa tives of the college, the city streets committee and the city planning commission discuss the problem at a combined meeting. Second Issue Second Issue was the meth od of selecting a board to ad minister Ashland's proposed new hospital. The council dis cussed pros and cons of elec ting or appointing a board as well as having the council itself administer the hospital. After considerable debate, the council passed a motion to appoint a five-member board. One of the members will be a city councilman a point over which there seemed to be some disagreement during the discussion. Transcontinental 'Trike' Trip Set by Portland - DPH - Dwain C. Wolfcr, 45, Injured seriously In a truck-train accident 20 years ago, said today he plans to pedal across the country on a specially - built tricycle to publicize abilities of handi capped persons. Wolfer said he planned to travel from here to Portland, Maine. To Leave July S "I figure it will lake from five to seven weeks to make the trip," he said. He plans to leave July 8. "I'll take a sleeping bag In case I get caught between towns at night, but mainly I will stay in motels and ho-tel..'- Vehicles to Have Several Purposes In Experiments Second Satellite Launched in Space Cape Canaveral, Fla. (trpn THe United States put "moth er and daughter" satellites into orbit today to establish a more accurate world navi gation system, measure the sun's radiation and make the world's clocks more accurate. The Defense Department said in Washington that the successful experiment is proof that America is "rapidly mov ing into space for real." Second Satellite Launched The Navy and Air Forca joined forces to put the Tran sit 2A satellite into a 500-mile high orbit crossing parts of Russia and the Arctic and Antarctic regions. After orbit was achieved, the complex, 223-pound aluminum sphera launched a second satellite. Navy officials said in Wash ington they are confident now that a transit system of four satellites will be operating in 1962, able to fix positions on land and sea within one-tenth of a mile. The first Transit, launched last April, is giving "fixes" on land within a quar ter of a mile, they said, and the one launched today will do even better. Present time tested celes tial navigation methods are accurate to between a half mile and a mile. Rear Adm. f . F. Connolly, Chief of the Navy Bureau of Weapons, said the launching of two satellites with one booster rocket shows "We can get devices up there and use them ... we are rather rapid ly moving into space for real," he said. Another rocket success at the Cape this morning was the 5,000-milc test of an in tercontinental Atlas rocket. The Atlas made a 90 minute trip to a point off Ascension island. The Transit has three ma jor purposes and several com paratively minor ones includ ing an experimental receiver and antenna to tune in on cosmic noise and let man know what it sounds likes in the Milky Way. Find Precise Time The major purposes: 1-Provide an all - weather global nagivation system to pinpoint locations on earth. 2-Find out exactly where the land masses of the earth are located. 3-Detormine, through an electronic "digital" clock, th precise time simultaneously for example-in New York and Cairo. The clock could become a time-standard to re place the age-old chronometer on ships. . Performed Perfectly A 79-foot Thor-Able star rocket performed perfectly in putting the satellite into or bit. It rose almost vertically Into the night sky and ground observers could see the suc cessful separation of the first and second stages. A mobile tracking station was moved from Erding Air Force base in Germany to a new location at Puenta Are nas, Chile, to determine the orbital character of the Tran. sit. The move was necessary for this shot because of tha new orbit position of 67.5 de grees. WEATHER FOHKCAST: Fair and warm through Thursday with low temperature tonlftht around 44. High Thursday 80.
