Kuznetsov today in an effort to heal a developing rift with the Kremlin on United Nations policy in The Congo. Kuznetsov Tuesday night placed Russia firmly behind Congolese Premier Patrice Lumumba's demand that the U.N. policy of neutrality in his government's troubles with the mineral-rich prov ince of Katanga be dropped. Thursday Meeting Off Plans to take the latest Congo crisis before the Se curity Council Thursday were dropped. Hammarskjold con sulted with French ambassa dor Armand Berard, council president during August, and informed sources said later they had agreed it would be impossible to hold the council meeting Thursday morning as originally planned. It was reported the council would meet Friday. Lumum ba has dispatched a delega tion from The Congo to pre sent his denunciation of Ham marskjold's policies. Hammarskjold, in sending the U.N.' force into Kalanga which has formally seceded (rom Lumumba's central re gime - to replace Belgian forces, ruled that it could take no part in settling any in ternal problems. Seeks Endorsement H a m m a r skjold returned from Leopoldville Tuesday night to seek a clear-cut en dorsement from . the Security Council for his action in send ing white troops of the U.N. force into the secessionist province of Katanga without Lumumba's blessing or the help of his Congolese troops. The council was expected to meet Thursday morning, but Hammarskjold was giv ing Lumumba plenty of time, to get a Congolese delegation here before officially setting the date and time.

"Spraying the adult mos quitoes does no good," he ex plained. "We are trying to find the water where the larvae or the unhatched mos quitoes are." Current county funds do not allow for a thorough county-wide mosquito control program, Moore said. By establishing mosquito control districts other counties have financed programs costing an nually from 545,000 to $70, 000. To establish such a dis trict the voters must petition lor it, then they are assessed MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1960 4 v i - -sis W , 3, VOT ft CABIN DESTROYED As if to complete the job, flames went to work on a wooden walkway after destroying the cabin (background) and burning over about three acres of grass and brushland in Hopkins gulch, near Sterling creek, yesterday afternoon. The fire was brought under control by three state forestry department crews. Owner of the cabin was Harold DeVoss. A forestry department spokesman said the fire apparently started about 3;30 p.m. when burning material that was being used o smoke out bees got into dry grass. It was brought under control about an hour later. The spokesman said Mr. and Mrs. Wayne McCraw had been readying the cabin as a residence. Forestry department crews were still 'mopping up" the fire area this morning. Foreign Ministers Tackle Trujillo Problem at San Jose, Costa Rica-fljfll- The conference of hemisphere foreign ministers opened to day on a moderate note, but there were threats of sharp clashes behind the scenes con cerning the action to be taken against the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic. Brazilian Moderator .Brazil's Horaci Later was formally designated moder ator in the thorny Venezuelan Dominican Republic dispute County Grand Jury Issues Indictment The Jackson county grand jury returned an indictment at 11 o'clock this morning charging Keith Duane Adams, 32, Medford, with first degree murder, according to District Attorney Thomas J. Reeder. Adams is accused of strangl ing his ex-wife, Mrs, Hazel Jean Adams, in her Medford residence Aug. 4. Two of the Adams' children were reported in the bedroom at the time. Boise - lUPI) - Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon has pledg ed his efforts in obtaining freight rales favorable to both Pacific Northwest ports and wheal growers. Complicates additional millage, he said. With the growing feeling against increased taxes, the sanitarian said he doubted if Jackson county people would want to do this. Complicating the problem has been a long series of hot nights starting in July com pared to the usual two weeks in ' August, Moore explained. Water temperatures must be up to 70 degrees before mos quitoes start hatching. Heavily infested areas have been reported in the Pioneer subdivision and the Dark Hol low rd. area.

Usually such spray establishes control for 10 days to two weeks. Now the ponds have to be sprayed every four days. The sanitarian said his crew has the new spray unit, purchased this year by the court, going full time. How ever, because of the "present excitement" over spray resi dues, the crew has to be care ful and cannot blanket an area as it did before. Last Saturday a plane was used to spray the Four Cor ners and Vilas rd. area. Al though thorough and quick, such an operation is too ex pensive to use very often, Moore said. Price 10 Cents aRIBUNE No. 128 Ashland Hospital Board Increased To 1 Members Council Approves With Revel Against Ashland The Ashland city council last night increased the size of its hospital board from five to seven members, but only after Councilman Glenn Revel had made it clear he thought the action was "premature." Appointed by Mayor Rich ard Neill were Gerald Wen ner, retired banker, and Ern est Tischhauser, certified pub lic accountant. The action came after the present five-member board, which was created only about three weeks ago, recommend ed adding two members. Ap pearing before the council were Robert Flynn, hospital administrator, and Mrs. Vir ginia Westerfield, secretary- treasurer of the board. The council seemed general ly receptive to the recommen dation, but Revel pointed out that "the ink is hardly dry" on the present ordinance creating the f ive-m ember board. He said he felt it would be "wholly premature" to add two members before the board gave a membership of five a fair trial. Selection Method Revel cited the difficulty the council experienced in ar riving at a method of selecting the present board and said he though it would be "silly" to change the number of mem bers so soon. Replying to Revel, Mrs. Westerfield said the board has "already seen the need for help" and added that the board feeds "the more people on it, me oeucr. , tlynn said he thought a seven-member board "would be a little more representative of the community" and stated that the American Hospital as sociation recommends a board membership of nine for a hos-: pital of the size that Ashland's j will be. : Goei Along With Board Councilman D. S. Kerr con-! ceded that "we just more or less pulled the five out of the hat" but added that since the board had studied the ques tion, "it seems to me we should probably go along with the request." 'I think the board can prob ably see the need better than we can," agreed Councilman Emmett Witham. 'It seems to me," comment ed Councilman George Ward, that we're giving more time to adding two members than we did to the original selection of five." The motion to pass the ordi nance adding two members was passed with only Revel voting against. He abstained when Mayor Ncili asked ap proval of his appointment of Wenner and Tischhauser. The new board members will draw lots to see who serves a three-year term and who serves for two years. Other board members are Dr. Arthur Kreisman, chair man; 1. F, Andres, vice chair man; Ned Mars, Waiter Boss hard and Mrs. Westerfield. "Pray Keep Moving, Brother" lSlff . j II A...!!. iir.; For Violation Washington -Wis- President Eisenhower said today he sees no evidence that V2 pilot Francis G. Powers was brain washed, but he assailed the Soviet Union for violating in ternational custom in Powers' espionage trial.

Cuba Naval Bases Under Surveillance Havana - lliPil - Naval bases throughout Cuba were under army surveillance today fol lowing a series of raids which were said to have crushed a "counter-revolutionary plot." Informed sources said hun dreds of navy men, including some of the nation's highest- ranking naval officers, had been arrested. Premier Fidel Castro him self was said to have led a dawn raid by elite troops of his own special guard Tues day on the Casablanca naval arsenal, across the bay from Havana, Everyone on duty at the arsenal was said to have been placed under arrest. dence that he had been brain washed by his captors. But the President said un der international custom, any foreigner arrested anywhere is entitled to consult with of ficials of his own country. He said the United States has asked repeatedly to see Pow ers. This request was denied. Rejects Soviet Claims Asked about the Powers case, the President rejected as groundless the Soviet propa ganda line that the United States itself, rather than Pow ers, is on trial. He denounced this Red contention as just propaganda. He defended again the ne cessity for this country's U2 flights over Russia and point ed to the record of numerous arrests of Russian spies in this country and elsewhere. In other highlights of his news conference, the Presi dent: -Said he knows of no mis takes made by this country that contributed to the cur rent pro-Russian and anti Amcrican political picture in : Cuba, He said he has no i reason to apologize for any-; thing we have done in Cuba. ; -Challenged the Democratic ; Congress again to enact the j broad legislative program he ! submitted to the pre-election j session. He said he has no j intention of paring his long list of legislative requests I down to a few must bills. He j recalled that Congress in one two - week period last year i passed 438 bills and he sees j no reason why they shouldn't ; act now on some of his. Will No! Recall Congress -Declared that no matter what Congress does In Its bob tailed session, he has no inten tion to call the lawmakers back for a further try at his program. He would call a special session, he said, only in event of some great, new national emergency. I -Pointedly said that despite the campaigns ana the No vember elections, he will be President until Jan. 20 and will bear the responsibility for American decisions In that period. In the meantime, lie said, he won't be actively cam paigning too much, although he now has one avowed po litical speech on his schedule and will make more.
