Medford Regional Edition Quick Approval of Lemnitzer as Head Of Military Seen Washington - (UPD - Early Senate approval was forecast today for President Elsenhow er's appointment of Army Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Chairman Richard B. Rus sell, (D-Ga.) of the Senate Armed Services committee; predicted the current pre election session would act on the nomination "unless some very substantial opposition arises." .. Distinguished Career Eisenhower Monday sent to the Senate the nomination of the 60-year-old Lemnitzer, who has forged a distinguish ed Army career as both a mil itary commander and nego tiator. Lemnitzer was named to a two-year term to succeed Air Force Gen. Nathan B. Twin ing, who is retiring presum ably because of illness. Eisenhower's choice of Lemnitzer came as no sur prise. Lemnitzer had been ex pected eventually to succeed Cable Television In Medford Topic Of Roundfable Cable television will be available In Medford In the very near future, according to Everett Faber, vice presi dent of the Oregon Broadcast ing company. Faber, speaking at the Mon day noon Chamber of Com merce roundtable, said that final Installations are being made at the "head end" of the cable system in the Medford hotel. But, because of the techni cal difficulties invovled, he made no estimate of when the signal, would be available to individual set owners. Essentially the cable Is "community antenna" system Faber said. By the use of microwave relay it provides stations which would not ord inarily be received by Med ford set owners. The cable will carry three stations: Medford (CBS), Kla math Falls (ABC) and Rose burg (NBC). ,It will have a capacity of five channels. No Portland stations have been Included for largely com mercial reasons, he said. While the three smaller sta tions will provide all of the major networks, the exclusion of Portland stations was also "an effort on our part to pro tect the local businessman from the 'come-on' type of un ethical advertising which we find in the metropolitan mar ket," Faber said later. This cut-rate pricing for 'come-on' promotionals might convey the wrong impression about local merchant's pric ing. Twining ever since he became Army vice chief of staff in 1957.

Shakeup Expected The Lemnitzer appointment could signal a widespread shakeup in the military high command as the Eisenhower administration nears the end of its last term.
