0 Regional Edition Medford United Prew International Full Leased Wira 40 PAGES CCishi Prime Minister Expected To Help Select Successor Leftists Frustrated ' In Protest Plans Tokyo-WPII-The U.S.-Japan lecurity treaty went into ef fect today in a brief and se cret ceremony which frustrat ed leftist plans for major dem onstrations. But the contro versial alliance toppled from .power the man who had work ed hardest for it. Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishl announced his intention to resign almost immediately after U.S. Ambassador Doug las MacArlhur II and Japa nese Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fujiyama completed the for malities which give the Unit ed States responsibility for defending Japan and provides U.S. bases here for the next 10 years. Half-Hearted Protest It was too late for the fanatical leftists to do any thing further about the treaty aLthough they had threatened physical violence to prevent the MacArthur-F u j i y a m a meeting. They had to be con tent with a half-hearted pro test show by 5,000 students who stood mournfully or list lessly snake-danced in front of Kishi's residence. Another 800 students stood for 15 minute or so before the U.S. Embassy and then went home. They were the leftovers from the 5,000 who had milled around the Diet building and Kishi's residence which was heavily protected by police. Data Not Known The 63-year-old prime min ister did not say just when he would step out of office, thus making it clear he intended to play a decisive role in the choice of his successor. Kishi's announcement touch ed off political infighting in his faction - ridden Liberal Democratic. Party. Kishl had successfully con trolled various party factions since he became premier Feb. 27, 1957, but the tremendous pressure that built up over the U.S.-Japan security treaty proved too much. Under Heavy Fire Violent opposition from left-wingers and Communists and sniping by political ene mies within his own party led to his decison to resign. Kishi had been under par ticularly heavy fire even since he used his parliamentary ma jority to ram ratification of the treaty through the lower chamber of the Diet (Parlia ment) May 20. The opposition accused him of using "tyran ny of the majority." Three Injured in Klamath Collision Klamath Falls - IUPII - Three persons were injured Wednes day afternoon when a logging truck skidded out of control and struck two cars here. Police said M-Sgt. Justin Scott Sliger, 34, Ft.

"Here We J J m m ! nil jr ' -rja TRIBUNE 23, 1960 Japanese Treaty Sets Off Game Of Hide-and-Seek Document Already Signed by President Washington - IUPII - Senate ratification of the U.S.-Japa-nese security pact Wednesday set off an elusive diplomatic game of hide-and-seek that went from Washington to Honolulu to Tokyo. Immediately after the Sen ate okayed by a 90 to 2 vote the controversial treaty that stirred up leftist rioting and disorders in Japan, the State Department clamped on a heavy lid of secrecy and eva sion on what happened next. Couldn't Understand Reporters tried with mini mal success to find out how the treaty was being sent from the Senate to the State De partment to President Eisen hower in Hawaii and finally to Tokyo. Stale Department officials told newsmen they couldn't understand why they were interested in "such a technical point." Department press offi cer Lincoln White said essen tially officials were moving in -a very expeditious man ner." He did not divulge, how ever, that the ratification document already had been signed by President Eisen hower before he left on his Asian trip and had been sent to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo.

Go Again" flo Resign Price Unilrd Prens International Joke About Bomb In Bag Results In Fine of $100 Portland -TIT- Donald D. Kitch, 48, Portland, today was fined $100 in Federal Couri for making a jocular remark at the Portland In ternational airport last month about a bomb. Aulhroities said Kitch called attention of an air line passenger agent to a companion, Victor Milnes, of Medford, and commented jokingly: "Don't let him on the plane. He has a bomb in that bag." Young People Apply for Jobs Through Program A "substantial" number of young people have applied for jobs through the first sum mer work program offered in this area, according lo Em ployment Service Manager John Patton. Although exact figures are not available, Patton said that "several hundred" teen-agers have expressed their desire for summer-time employment. All in all, lie added, there are plenty of potential workers in many fields of employment. Regarding employers' reac tion to the program, Patlon reported there has been more response by householders than by commercial organiza tions. The slack in hiring seems to be general through out the area, not just in the younger groups, he said. Al though business is fairly good, Patton pointed out, there is just "not . tog much hiring being done now." Three Major Factors Three major factors have added to the tlood ot appli cants for employment, he sue- Igested:. high school students I looking for work, college stu I dents wanting summer-time jobs, and teachers desiring ex tra work in the summer. With school being out only three weeks, Patton said the lack in employment action is "per fectly normal," The problem arises when everyone is out of work at one time and seeks activity, he went on to say. When school is out, literally hundreds of people are added lo the labor pool. The service, being sponsor ed by the Medford 20-30 club, has brought in applications from all parts of the county requesting jobs ranging from lawn-mowing and baby-sitting jobs, to full time work. Overall, Patton said, the program has had a "good ef fect" on local employment practices. It has, he concludes, shown that the youngsters are available for work, which is a good boost lo employment concerns. The program opened the latter part of May and appli cations from teenagers were being accepted until June 20. Youth 14-18 years of age were encouraged to apply for any type of work, and employers may file for assistance any time this summer before Sept. 15. Heading the administration of the program is Fred Stock, a member of the 20-30 club, and Patton. Employers' may request assistance from the employment office, 119 North Oakdale ave., Medford.

Romania - IUPII Western observers today ex pected Polish Communist Par ty Chief Wladyslaw Gomulka to give a ringing endorsement to Soviet Premier Nikita S. K h r u shchev's revision o f Communist dogma. Gomulka was due to join other Eastern European Com munist parly chiefs here to day. He was delayed by a meeting of his own central committee at home. The oth ers have been here all week attending the Romanian party congress. Support Announced Hun gary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Bulgaria already have announced their support for Khrushchev's policy of "moderation" and his insistence that Marx and Lenin must be interpreted with the limes. Notable for its lack of en dorsement is Communist China which is represented here by a subordinated party leader. The Chinese Communists have, in the past, stuck close ly to traditional Communist doctrines which deny Khrush chev's thesis that peaceful co existence of capitalism and Communism is possible. Khrushchev now is expect ed to remain in Bucharest through Sunday, probably ad dressing a mass party meeting that day. Three Deputies Added in County An additional $13,032 for three deputies in the county sheriff's department and $750 for uniforms and equipment were approved by the county budget committee this morn ing for (he 2800-81 county budget.-- - i .1 Commissioner Ralph James reported at noon -today that the county budget for J4.427,- 586.72 was officially approved today. An additional $500 for study of a possible home rule type of county government was also approved by the committee. James said that the addi tional money, requested by Sheriff Joe Walsh at the pub lic hearing Tuesday evening, was taken from the county roads department equipment fund as was the $500. The equipment fund had previous ly been $06,000 and now stands at $81,718. It was explained that the equipment fund for the roads department is flexible, calling for approximately 10 per cent equipment replacement each year. Unspent depart ment money this year has been used by the department to purchase part of the equip ment asked for during the 1000-61 fiscal year. The committee had request ed an opinion of the district attorney If changes in the budget necessitated calling another public hearing. In the opinion received this morning, District Attorney Thomas Recder said that If the total budget did not change another public hear ing Is not necessary. h i ipr V .1 f T v ; : . aaaatVlW:-' - " -K"-JM:..Hfc.. -laaiaiiMtA"alBaa GETS DEFERRMENT Because Mrs. James Stadlcr, left, recently named head of a Parent-Teacher group In Torrcnce, Calif., wrote President Elsenhower, Charles Craw ford, 23, right, city councilman and school teacher, won't be drafted. Mrs. Stadlcr read In a newspaper that Crawford was golnj to be dratted, and although iht had never met U. S. Proposes Solution in Eichmann Case United Nations, N.Y.-IUPD-The United States said today adoption of a relatively mild security council resolution to gether with Israel's apology-to Argentina should be adequate to dispose of the ease of Adolf Eichmann. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge explained the United States position at the start of the second day's debate on the former Nazi SS colonel who is accused of ordering the murder of six million Jews during World War II. Argentina, however, has made it clear that it considers that the "adequate reparation" it demands should include Eichmann's return to Argentine territory and punishment of the Israeli agents who took him "illicitly and clandestine ly" from Argentina, as well as a formal apology. Communications Space Project Due Next Month Washington-WPP-The Army and Air Force plan to launch next month an experimental satellite designed to relay mil itary communications, inform ed sources said today. The newest space venture now planned by the armed forces would follow the high ly successful orbiting by the Navy and Air Force Wednes day of the Transit 2A naviga tion satellite. First Achievement The 2A vehicle was one of two satellites boosted from Cape Canaveral, Fla., by a single rocket launcher, the first such achievement on rec ord. It was hailed as showing America's fast Increasing ability to send up practical spacecraft. The only previous Americ an attempt to orbit two satel lites in one shot was made 14 months ago with a Van guard and ended in failure. Wednesday s success was a measure of U.S. space prog ress, demonstrating the feasi bility of single-shot launches of satellite clusters. The pos sibility of getting up rnore payloads with fewer boosters could save millions ot dollars. Called 'Courier' The communications satel- lite now under development by the Army Signal Corps tor launching by the Air Force is called "Courier. It is one of a number of space com munications projects coming under the general code name of "Notus-" City Police Raid Juvenile Party '.: : .. '.. ; i wo meaiora cny ponce 01- ficers raided a Juvenile party at a downtown Medford resi dence last night and took a 15-year-old boy into protec tive custody on a charge of being drunk in public. Police had received reports that there have been several parties at the location, and the two officers Investigated last night.

All five of the youths were taken to' the police station where they were Interrogated and released, with the excep tion of the 15-year-old, who was lodged in the Juvenile de tention home. I A compromise solution worked out by diplomats in Europe and here, which tech nically would meet the de mand for Eichmann's return was reported near completion today. Under it, Israel would surrender Eichmann to the Argentine Embassy at Tel Aviv and then immediately extradite him for trial. The formal extradition would take only a matter of minutes. Displaased by Statement Israel was reported dis pleased by Lodge's statement to the council Wednesday in which he appeared to throw full U.S. support to Argen tina's resolution d e claring that such acts as the violation of its territory by Eichmann's seizure might endanger inter national peace and requesting "adequate reparation" from Israel. Israeli Foreign Minister Mrs. Golda Meir asked at the close of Wednesday's meeting precisely ' what "adequate reparation" meant. Lodge told the council today Washing ton's understanding of the term. Adoquata Reparation "The United States," he said, "considers that adequate reparation will have been made in the expression of views in the security council, taken together with the state ment of the distinguished for eign minister of Israel in mak ing apology. We think that when we adopt the resolution, adequate reparation will hava been made and the incident will have been closed. Normal relations between the two countries can then proceed."
