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.

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.

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.

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

Deadline for turning the
county budget over to the
county assessor is July 1, the
beginning of the new fiscal

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.

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.

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."

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. .
