MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1960 Arrests Made by Ashland Police for Park Incidents Asiuana Ulty police are combating a problem In Lithia park which they say is far worse this summer. The prob lem consists of several reports of indecent exposure and sim ilar offenses. Police Chief Herb Hays said this week his department has received eight reports, usually from women or small chil- dren, of indecent exposure in the park during the past three months. Three arrests have been made during the period and Hays said he believes they have cleared at least five of the cases. The first of the arrests was made Aug. 4 when Ashland officer observed Keith E Lockard, 25, of 307 Genessce St., Medford, performing such an act. Lockard, a Southern Ore gon college graduate who now teaches school out of state, was charged with disorderly conduct (committing an in decent act) and appeared in Ashland municipal court the same day he was arrested. Muncipal Judge Richard C Cottle found Lockard guilty and fined him $50. He also ordered him to seek psychia tric care and report back to ' the court on the 15th of each month for one year. Lockard was residing in Medford temporarily while at tending summer classes at SOC. Other Arrests Tuesday afternoon, city po lice arrested Marvin D. Math ewson, 32, Spokane, on a charge of indecent exposure. Malhewson, who listed his oc cupation as a carpet cleaner pleaded guilty and was sen tenced to 30 days in jail. Charles E. Jerome, 40-year-old Hood River man who is living in Ashland temporarily while working on a construc tion project, was arrested Aug. 9 on a disorderly conduct charge. Jerome pleaded in nocent and requested a jury trial. Judge Cottle appeared be fore the city council Tuesday night and reported on the overall problem. He said such individuals must be discour aged from using the park for their activities and indicated he would be tough on them when they appeared in court. Cottle also requested the council to appoint a judge pro tem to hear the Jerome case as he said he had heard so much about it that he did not believe he could render an unbiased verdict. The council appointed Sam Davis, Ashland lawyer, to hear the case. Defending Jerome will be Robert H. Grant, Medford lawyer. Chief Hays told the council his department has intensified its efforts to prevent such cases and officers are now keeping the park under close surveillance during daylight and evening hours. The judge and police chief made it clear, however, that none of the re ports have involved violence of any kind. The council agreed with Cottle and Hays that stronger efforts are necessary to dis courage such Individuals from frequenting the park. Opposition to Activating Housing Authority Noted "I am unalterably opposed to reactivating the Jackson County Housing Authority," A. R. Manno, Medford hard ware merchant, stated in a let ter to the Jackson county court Wednesday. Manno said he was opposed to the proposal of "a special interest group" as reported in the Medford Mail Tribune on Aug. 7. This is "way out lefit wing socialism," Manno em phasized. "This would place an undue burden on my children and succeeding generations of tax payers," Manno wrote, "I have complete passion (compassion) for the oldster who has met with adversity and firmly feel he should be cared for in the manner al ready provided via the agency of the welfare commission. "Let us teach our children the reasons for thrlftiness and providing for a rainy day Is as important and true today as they were when you and I were children," Manno con cluded. Council Atki Rtactivation The housing committee of the Rogue Valley Council on Aging had written a letter to County Judge Earl Miller sug gesting reactivation of the .

These could be used to finance surveys to point up the need for low-cost housing developments and nursing homes for the aged, plus urban renewal projects, the RVGA housing committee wrote. Another purpose of the reac tivation would be to take im mediate action on completion of the surveys to provide the necessary housing projects for Jackson county citizens, the council's committee stated. "Statistics made available to this council show that ap proximately 6,500 of Jackson county's population are de pendent on social security Denents for their existence, the letter explained. "The amount the recipients are paid is below the national average and many are living in sub standard housing." Among the stocks which present a greatly improved chart pattern, according to W. E. Hutton & Co., are Boe ing, Garrett, Shattuck, Creole, Standard Oil of California and Phillips Petroleum. Some relatively low-priced issues that may be currently attractive are Harsco Corp American Metal Climax and Eagle-Pitcher, all of which provide unusually generous yields, Thomson & MacKin non says. Prentice-Hall, Inc. points out that squeezed profit mar gins, evident from second quarter reports, are sure to prevail in the current quar ter as well, and also are likely to dominate fourth quarter re turns.
