Williams Sawmill
Destroyed by Fire
Thursday Night
Williams-A sawmill which
supported about half the popu
lation of this small lumbering
town burned to the ground
last night.
Owners Percy Sowell and
Norman Webb said today
they are not sure if the Brown
Brothers Lumber company
mill will be rebuilt. The firm
employs 75 persons, it is esti
mated. It had been cutting
about 70,000 board feet per
day.
The planer mill, which was
some distance from the main
building, and the dry kiln
were saved. However, no
plans have been made yet for
its further operation, it was
reported. Cause of the fire
was thought to be from sparks
from an electrical outlet box
or from the waste burner.
Nearly half the population
of this community, 20 miles
southeast of Grants Pass, de
pend on the mill for their
living either through mill
work or from logging and
hauling to the mill, a town
spokesman said.
Night watchman. Wade Cot-
trell, was at the far end of
the grounds when he noticed
small curl of smoke from
the base of a conveyor in the
main building. Flames were
leaping towards the roof by
tne time he got there.
All that remained of the
building this morning was a
mass of twisted steel and
charred ground.
Gross Fire Threatens
Ashland Church, Home
Ashland-A grass fire start
ed by a minister threatened
his church and two nearby
houses yesterday afternoon,
but Ashland firemen extin
guished the blaze before any
serious damage was done.
Firemen said the blame was
"unauthorized and uncon
trolled," and was started by
the Rev. Leo. C. Wine behind
the Faith Tabernacle at Faith
ave. and Siskiyou blvd. It was
reported about 1:15 p.m. The
pastor started the fire and
went home for lunch while it
was still burning, firemen
said.

Again
Grocery Prices
Push Consumer
Index Higher
Pay Boosts Due
200,000 Workers
Washington (UPD - Living
costs crept to a new record
high in May for the fourth
month in a row, the govern
ment reported today.
Higher grocery prices push
ed the Labor department's
consumer price index up by
one-tenth of 1 per cent to
126.3 per cent of the 1947-49
average. This was 1.9 per cent
above the level of a year ago.
Declining prices for new
and used cars, tires, gasoline,
home appliances, heating
fuels, and some foods kept the
index from going even higher.
Pay Boosts Due
The new rise in living costs
will bring pay boosts of one
to two cents an hour for more
than 200,000 workers whose
pay is geared to changes in
the index.
About 80,000 workers in the
meat packing industry will re
ceive two-cent hourly raises.
Another 79,000 in the aircraft
industry will get a penny or
two cents an hour more, and
40,000 in a variety of indus
tries will get a penny an hour
raise.
Arnold Chase, Labor de
partment price chief, said that
despite the fractional increase
last month the buying power
or me consumer s dollar re
mained unchanged.
Continued Increases Seen
Chase forecast continued in
creases In food costs in the
months ahead, but said the
index may balance off because
of further declines in new car
prices and some grocery costs.
He held out some hope for
a possible drop In overall liv
ing costs next fall.
Despite the new cost-of-living
record, the government
sources emphasized their be
lief that a new round of infla
tion was not beginning. They
said food prices generally
creep upward through spring
and summer until annual har
vests swell supplies and trim
prices.

M-e
UN in Peaceful
Settlement of
Eichmann Case
Public Apology
Seen Reparation
United Nations, N.Y.-IUPD-The
United Nations today
could claim one of its few un
disputed triumphs since
World War 11-a peaceful set
tlement of the Argentine-Israeli
dispute over infamous
Nazi Col. Adolf Eichmann.
There was no doubt Eich
mann, the accused killer of
millions of Jews who was dis
covered and captured by Is
raeli agents in a sensational
kidnaping from Buenos Aires
last month, would stand trial
in Israel for his World War
II crimes.
Argentina indicated the In
jury done to its national dig
nity by the illegal abduction
could be considered all but
forgotten following T h u r s
day's mild Security Council
resolution asking Israel for
"adequate reparation."
In Buenos Aires, Undersec
retary of Foreign Affairs Mig
uel Angel Centeno said the
reparation might be nothing
more than a public apology,
such as already offered by Is
raeli Foreign Minister Mrs.
Golda Meir.
Official Israeli sources in
Jerusalem, in turn, expressed
complete satisfaction with the
Security Council verdict,
which was 8-0 against them,
with Russia, Poland and Ar
gentina by its own choice
abstaining.
Israelis were particularly
pleased with the stand taken
in the debate by U. S. Ambas
sador Henry Cabot Lodge,
who said Thursday that the
Eichmann issue should be
closed with passage of the
resolution and an Israeli
apology.

Zoning Ordinances
Presented
Council, Planners
Copies of a proposed multiple-family
zoning ordinance
and a proposed trailer ordi
nance were distributed at a
special joint meeting of the
Medford city council and
planning commission last
night.
The ordinances were pre -
pared by the planning com -
mission and planning; depart-
ment under the joint city-fed-
eral urban, planning assist
ance program.
The planning commission
Indicated last night that it
will call for a public hearing
on the multiple-family zone
proposal in the near future.
H. K. Guinn, site agent for
the general services adminis
tration in Seattle, and J. C.
Leighton, post office space
officer for the Portland re
gion, attended last night's
meeting to hear discussion of
the city's proposed civic
center. The city hopes that the
GSA will locate the proposed
$2,300,000 federal building In
this center.
Explains Land-Use Plan
Guinn and Leighton heard
Lloyd Anderson, southern
Oregon planning consultant
under the urban planning as
sistance program, explain a
preliminary land-use plan and
how the civic center would
fit into the overall plan.
He said the choice of a
site for a civic center is not
an easy one. The site which
Is bounded by Mistletoe, 10th,
Holly and Main sts., he said,
is ased on a plan drawn up In
1931. It was selected, he said,
ecause it is easily accessible
from all parts of the city, it is
adjacent to the central busi
ness district but not In the
high-cost property area and it
might prevent a "blight" area
if the central business district
should tend to move towards
the new shopping center.
Inspect Proposed Sites
Neither Guinn nor Leigh
ton had anythng to say at the
meeting, but afterward Guinn
said he and Leighton are in
Medford to Inspect proposed
sites for the new federal
building.
Guinn said there are four
proposed sites, and the choice
of a site will be made in
Washington.
The main difference be
tween the proposed multiple
family zone and the one now
in use, is that the multiple
family zone would be split
into Class A low density and
Class B high density divisions,

Press Conference
Told of Retirement
Washington (UPD - Secre.
tary of State Christian A.
Herter accused Soviet Pre
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev to
day of meddling in U.S. inter
nal affairs by his comments
on presidential elections.
Herter also told his news
conference - the first he has
held since collapse of the sum
mit meeting in Paris-that ha
has decided to retire from the
State department no matter
which party wins the Novem
ber elections.
No Suggestion Made
On still another subject
Herter denied flatly that the
United States in any way sug
gested to Tokyo that it should
call off President Eisenhow
er's trip to Japan.
Meeting with newsman on
the 10th anniversary of the
Communist attack in Korea,
Herter used the news confer
ence to call for a "reaffirma
tion" of the free world's de
termination to resist aggres
sion and our support for the
United Nations."
Herter said in his comment
on Khrushchev that the So.
viet leader's statements
that he would not deal with
President Eisenhower and his
letters to Democratic political
figures came about as close
to interfering in U.S. domes
tic affairs as anything he
could think of.
Favors Younger Man
Khrushchev rec ently
quipped that if it were true
that the U.S. candidate en
dorsed by the Soviet Union
would lose, he would endorse
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon.
Herter said that because ot
his age and the possibility
that his arthritic condition
might get worse he has decid
ed that a "younger man"
should take over the post of
secretary.
