Enforcement
Of Pollution
Laws Sought
The Jackson County Waler Pollution Fact finding com
mittee said today that "prompt remedial action should be
taken lo control cause" of stream pollution and provide
Increased stream flow in this area, particularly In Bear
creek.
The committee submitted a report of Its year-long study
to the Jackson county court this morning. The report was
accepted.
In summarizing, tilt committee said "action should be
taken to enforce existing laws relating lo streams pollution,"
11 noted that the committee was of the "opinion that wide
spread pollution docs exist as previously pointed out."
Major sources of pollution, the committee said, were In
dustrial, municipal, agricultural, private and causal.
Second Phase of
ChamberProgram
Jet Tomorrow
The second phase of th "40
million for 1 club" program
will be launched at a break
fast sponsored by tiie Medford
Chamber of Commerce al 7:30
a m. Thursday al the Jackson
hotel.
The "40 million for 1 club"
dramatizes the fact that if
each tourist in Oregon spent
an extra day, It would Intro- j
duce an additional $40 mil
lion Into state trade channels,
Don McNeil, chamber man
ager, said.
Tomorrow's breakfast, ar
ranged through the chamber'
tourist committee, t designed
to acquaint employees of
selected retail establishments
with visitor's point of Inter
est In the area, and the avail
ability of tourist literature.
Contact Tourists
Firm w h o e employees
ordinarily come In contact
with tourists Include drug
stores, groceries, bakeries,
men' and women' clothing
stores, sporting goods, and toy
and novelty shops.
McNeil (aid employee of
hotels, restaurants, service
stations, and motor court also
have been invited to the
breakfast. The wayside Indus
tries normally have the first
contact with visitors.
Many people are not aware
of the variety of literature
available on this area, Mc
Neil said, and the chamber'
hope at the breakfast I to
create an awareness, acquaint
resident with three or four
suggested points of interest,
and impress upon them the
location of the chamber office
for visitors seeking informa
tion. The first phase of the pro
gram was distribution of ma
terial to holds, restaurants,
service station and motor
courts with suggested things
to do In the area, McNeil said.

plied the power today with

In his complaint, Mlllestad
charges the logging company,
Monroe and Raymond H,

(ho company nl the time of
the accident, woro negligent
In allegedly allowing the acci
dent to occur,

that every care and safety
device were not used, He al
lege the felled tree knocked
down a smaller tree In lis
path, causing Hilleslad' In
jury. Hlllestad also allege that
the felled tree was more than
four feet In diameter, yet
was felled by a one-man saw.
The strip of limber was too
narrow and confined for a
bucking operation, and en
dangered the npcrntor from
falling trees, ha alleged further.
'I lie- committee noted that
logging of drainage basins of
Bear creek tributaries Is caus
ing heavier than normal wa
ter run-offs resulting In addi
tional silt being deposited
into Bear creek and III tribu
taries. Sill, sawdust and pos
sibly tannic acids are drained
Inlo Bear creek from mill
ponds, seriously affecting fish
life.
More conservative logging
practices or some type of cov
er could prevent excessive
run-offs. It was recommend
ed. Mill ponds should be
drained only during high wa
ter periods for the streams
to better disperse log pond
contents.
During gravel removal and
washing operations, the por-
lion of the stream being used
iliould be separated from the
main channel by retaining
wall, and settling: basin
should be constructed to pre
vent muddying of the water
In the main Chanel, the com
mittee (aid. Most of the grav
el companies do follow thi
procedure, It. pointed out.
The committee suggested
that solids from daughter
houses be screened and de
livered to rendering plants or
other adequate disposal facili
ties. The remainder should be
handled through separate and
adequate sewage disposal sys
tem. It recommended the
lagoon type of sewage treat
ment if possible. ' '
Facilitits Inadequate
The committee pointed out
that Ashland sewage treat
ment facilities are inadequate
now and certain area of the
city and outlying districts are
not under the municipal sew
age treatment system. Oil run
off and drainage inlo dreams
and tributaries feeding Bear
creek has been a particular
problem in the Ashland area.
The solution Is lo increase
the disposal facilities In size
and scope and Incorporate the
outlying streets into the city'
sewage disposal system," the
committee suggested. "Plans
arc being made to enlarge the
sewage disposal system and
Incorporate the outlying dis
tricts," the committee noted.
"Completion is scheduled for
1901."
Sam Type Problem
Talent has the ame prob
lem, the committee noted. A
more adequate sewage dispos
al system is planned for oper
ation by 1962.
Both Phoenix and Central
Point are tied into the Med
ford disposal system, but both
towns must provide for tu
ture growth. The city of Med
ford cannot continue to sup
ply services to outlying areas
on an ever Increasing scale,
the committee slated.
Since Jacksonville docs not
have a municipal jewagc dis
posal plant a sewage disposal
district should be formed and
Inadequate sepllc tanks and
outhouses be eliminated, the
report said,

harm in the new African
nation.
The Summer White House
In Newport, R.I., reported
President Eisenhower op
posed the dispatch of U.S.
troops to the Congo, even as
part of a U.N- police force.
Background Preferred
State Department officials
here Indicated they preferred
to keep this country In the
background of any U.N. ac
tion, perhaps supplying only
airlift for an international
force drawn from neighboring
African countries.
Officials feared the use of
American troop in the vio
lence-lorn Congo might spark
Russian charges of U.S. im
perialism and, even worse,
might prompt the Soviet
Union to offer troops of its
own.
Help Requested
The Congo government has
asked the United Nations to
help restore order in the two-
wcck-old country. In a sepa
rate request Tuesday It ap
pealed for the immediate dis
patch of 3,000 U.S. troops-
,U.N. Secretary General Dag

the Congo appeal . lor U.S.

Bids on Shop at
Mac Are Opened
The Medford school board
last night accepted the bid of
Harold W. Salter, Rogue Riv
er, for alterations and addi
tions to the shop building at
McLoughlin Junior High
school.
Sailer's basic bid was $58,-
836. The board took a 30-day
option on an alternate amount
ing to $14,701 for additional
studies on a heating system
for the building. The alter
nate Is included in the basic
bid.
Four oilier firms submitted
bids. They were Ausland
Construction company, Grants
Pas, $66,920; Blickenstaff
Construction company, Med
ford, $60,251; Don L, Jacobs
Construction company, Med
ford, $60,577; and Wiley com
pany, Ashland, $66,700.
School officials had esti
mated the alterations and ad
ditions would cost about
$44,000. Officials Indicated
that bids apparently are
higher than estimates because
the cost of plumbing, heating
and electrical work has in
creased at a more rapid rate
than general construction
work.
The work Is part of a two-
year building program financ
ed by a $750,000 bond Issue
which was approved by the
voters.

The United Press Interna
tional tabulation of indicated

istered a slight ebb in Ken

24 hours.
Time was fast running out
for maneuvers and predic
tions. The convention advanced
to the nominating point aft
er adopting a 1960 campaign
platform Tuesday night and
forcing onto the South the
most drastic civil rights plank
in the party's history.
Johnson, Symington and

Kennedy did fail Tuesday
to come up with any spectac

ed on Sunday and Monday.
On the contrary, he suffered
a couple of setbacks. A poll
of the 81-vote California del

votes against 31'2 for Steven

state where Gov. Edmund G.
Brown had abandoned his fa-
voriate son candidacy and en

have killed other Congolese
troops who tried to prevent
the white soldiers from re-''
capturing that city.
The paratroopers drove
Congo army troops from the
airfield and reopened it to
traffic this morning. The Afri- .
can troops had interrupted an i
airlift of fleeing white refu

Belgian troopers battled
their way back into control of
