Won't Duck Responsibility
Nixon also said he would

Judge Miller Irked
At Edwards Letter;
Promises
County Judge Earl Miller
angrily stated Friday that he
would take some action in
reply lo a letter from the
Jackson County Democratic
Central Committee Chairman
Harper Edwards, but declined
to say officially what it will
be.
Edwards had criticized the
county court's appointment of
three Republicans and one
Democrat as its representation
to the Jackson county home
rule study committee.
"With the county as equally
divided in party registration
as it is, and the committee be
ing of such general public in
terest and concern, the Re
publican members of the coun
ty court rhould have laid
aside thiir partisan party pref
erences long enough to name
a bi-partisan home rule com
mittee that would . be truly
represenla tive of party
strength in the county," the
letter stated.
Slapping the letter angrily,
Judge Miller charged, "I
know that a member of the
group we appointed ' Wrote
that letter and had the Demo
cratic Central committee ap
prove it. The only thing he
can accomplish by such an
action is to disrupt the com
mittee since two of the mem
bers we appointed said they
wouldn't serve if the commit
tee became involved in poli
tics." "I'm serving all the county
and not just one party," Mil
ler snapped. "I will not be
dictated lo by any political
party including my own! This
committee is to be an impor
tant one. It's foolish to play
politics at this time."
Miller added that the Demo

Smith Asks More
Funds for Oregon
Grants Pass - IWMI - Elmo
Smith, Republican candidate
for the U. S. Senate, said here
Saturday thai industrial
growth in Oregon can cluster
and expand if the stale re
ceives ils proportionate share
of federal spending for new
space-age projects.
Smith made his remarks
while speaking at a public
luncheon sponsored by the
women for Elmo Smith com
mittee. ,
According lo Smith, Oregon
would receive 18 times more
than it currently receives if
the stale received a propor
tionate share of space-age
spending.
The former governor point
ed out that large areas of
space and competent techni
cal personnel, the two re
sources most needed for space
age projects, are present in
Oregon.
Smith said there are blocks
of thousands of uncommitted
areas in central Oregon, in
coastal areas and in eastern
Oregon, to provide ample
room for safe missile firing.
He decried, however, that
more than one-half of the
competent personnel graduat
ing from Oregon colleges and
universities are leaving the
state. Smithsaid "we urgent
ly need to provide employ
ment for these talented peo
ple here in Oregon where our
economy can profit from their
abilities in order to receive
ou natural potential of growth
in the years ahead."

transients. Mclnnis told police
he and Bennett saw Alexan

Alexander was said lo have
left the lot, then returned
with a cement brick and con
tinued beating the object,
lodged between two cars. It
was only then, Mclnnis said,

ing in front of Weeks and
Orr furniture store, 114 West
Main si., had just killed a man
in the downtown area.
Alexander admitted the
crime and told police he and
the victim had been drinking
and an argument ensued. He
told police the victim used ob
scene language regarding two
women, resulting in the beat
ing. Shoes on Roof
Police said Saturday that
the victim's trousers and
shoes were found on the roof
of the Robinson hotel, adja
cent to the parking lot. It is
believed that they were
thrown to the three-story-high
location.
When found downtown, the
suspect seemed to be in "a
daze and acted "unconcern
ed," according lo witnesses
Police reports indicate that he
was not overly intoxicated
when arrested, but appeared
scared.
A 1958 address for the vic
tim was said to be 14 South
Bartlett st. Police said he was
a resident of the area "for
several years," and reportedly
has a brother In Eugene and
sister somewhere in Cali
fornia.
Police are also looking for
a well-dressed man of stocky
build who was seen by both
Mclnnis and Alexander in the
fight area. He is wanted as a
witness.

Horses' hooves pounded
around the make-shift arena
in front of Ihe Jackson coun
ty tair buildings Saturday af
ternoon as 42 juniors and in
termediate 4-H horsemen put
their mounts through their
paces.
The horsemanship event
started the' annual Jackson
County 4-H and FFA fair. Ob
servers estimated over 100
horses were on hand for Sat
urday's and today's senior

horse club members in Jack
son county, a judge said.
Saturday's events started
with halter showmanship
classes for juniors and inter

event later in the afternoon
showed the 4-H'ers skill as
their mounts went through
such tests as walking, trotting,
cantering, reversing, figure
eight, backing, standing dis
mounting and mounting on or
der. Stocky little trail horses
clopped through and over ob
stacles as the 4-H members
tried to demonstrate that each
had the best horse for the
southern Oregon mountain
trails.
The colorful events of pole
bending, Texas Barrel and ba
ton relay concluded the day's
horse activities. Pole bending
is on the same idea as the sla
lom ski events. Horses weave
around spaced poles, racing
against the stop-watch second
hand. The barrel race is simi
lar. Livestock started arriving
by truck and trailer early this
morning as the 4-H club mem
bers prepared for the week
long activities. Rabbits and
poultry plus home economics

Congo Premier
Demands Removal
Of White Troops
Eiisabethville - HIPD Swe
dish soldiers of the United
Nations forces began reliev
ing the Belgian army in re
bellious Katanga province
Saturday and Premier Patrice
Lumumba of the Congo imme
diately threatened another
crisis by demanding that all
white troops leave the Congo
at once.
The agreements lo relieve
Belgian troops was worked
out by U.N. Secretary Gen
eral Dag Hammarskjold and
Patanga President Moisc
Tshombe in two days of talks
in this tense city while Ka
tanga police broke up anli
Tshombe demonstrations.
Others to Arrive
A series of announcements

guard posts at the airport and
that other U.N. troops would
arrive on Monday and Tues
day to complete the takeover
ordered by the Security Coun
cil. The new contingents will be
Irish and Ethiopian - half
white and half Negro.
Defiant statements b y
Tshombe here and by Lumum
ba, in Lcopoldville, showed
that the Congolese crisis was
far from ended. Tshombe said
the actions made it clear that
Katanga province, which "se-
i ceded" from the Congo on
July 11, would be able to
maintain its independence.
Scathing Attack
Lumumba, speakine In Leo-
poldville, renewed his threat
lo send in his own troops to
win back the rebellious prov
ince and delivered a scathing
attack on Hammarskjold for
his use of while Swedish
troops.- He said some of the
Sewedes were disguised Bel
gians. The official Soviet news
paper Izvestia, in a commen
tary broadcast by Moscow ra
dio, followed up this with an
attack on Hammarskjold and
accused him of conspiring
with Tshombe against the
legal government of the
Congo." It said Hammarskjold
was not carrying out the
Council resolutions.

Young Navy Officer Dies
Attempting to Save Lives
Of Four Men
Savannah, Ga. - IUPD - The
Navy minesweeper Exultant,
her aft engine room swept by
an oil fire that killed five
crewmen, reached port Satur

The shocked and weary
crew of the vessel, towed to
port by another minesweeper
and a commercial tug, lined
the rail and pallbearers quiet

dead, one by one, and placed
them in waiting hearses.

Asks Legislation
Affecting Millions
Retirement Age for

Washington fUPP The Sen

ing for sweeping changes in
the social security law affect
ing millions of elderly men
and women.
It voted to let men collect
retirement benefits at age 62
instead of 65 and also to raise
from $1,200 lo $1,800 a year

cme both men and women re-

But the committee refused
lo put a politically-hot medi
cal care for the aged program
under social security. Instead
it offered a compromise closer
to a more modest program al
ready approved by the house.
Entirely Voluntary
Tile lower retirement aga
for men, like the present sys
tem for women, would be en
tirely voluntary and would
not increase the social secur
ity tax for either employers

benefits immediately it Con
gress approved the lower re

The committee's action is
subject- to approval by the
Senate, where a full-scale bat
tle is in store over the medi
cal aid issue. There were no
immediate indications of gen
eral Senate sentiment over
the age change, or whether
the House would go along
with this and other revisions
of the social security bill.
Cut to 80 Por Cent
Benefits for men retiring
on their 62nd birthday would
be cut to 80 per cent of the
amount they would receive at
65. The benefit would be in
creased five-ninths of one per
cent for each month between
62 and 65 that they wait to
begin drawing payments. :
Congress lowered the retire-
ment age for women to 62 in
1956 but only about half uf
those eligible have decided to
take the reduced benefits.
While'going along with the -House
provisions for federal
state medical aid to needy
persons over 65, the commit
tee bill also would provide in
creased federal payments lo
states for health care for an
estimated 2.4 million persons
