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

committee.
The study was the result of
a meeting here last month at
tended by Herman KehrJyi
with the bureau of municipal
research and service at the
University of Oregon.
The study would cover the
smaller cities and unincorpor

regulations and for planning
facilities that may be needed,
as well as policies for their
financing.
The progressive planning

sanitary facilities, domestic
water systems, streets and ar
terial roads.
Study Established
The study was established
to cost about $45;000, accord

man of the county advisory
planning committee. The ad
visory group includes the
mayor and an appointee from

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.
Handling Explained

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.

Polish Approval
Of Khrushchev's
Policy Expected
Others Announce
Support of Plan
Bucharest. 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.

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.
Police said the door of the
residence was open and they
could see one youth inside
who appeared to be drunk. He
was lying on a couch and po
lice talked to him through the
front door. . .
He told them the owners of
the house were In the bed
room and gave the officers
permission to enter the premi
ses. On entering-the house po
lice saw a 16-year-old boy and
18-year-old girl coming out of
the bedroom.
Two more youths, a boy age
20 and a girl age 17 were in
a parked car on the street in
front of ' the house, officers
said.
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."
