Procrastination
Ashland - City Councilman
Glenn Revel, saying there has
been "generaKy too. much pro
crastination" in the operation
of this' city's government, to
day became the fourth candi
date for mayor of Ashland. :
Announcement of Revel's
candidacy brought this com
ment from incumbent Mayor
Richard L. Neill: "I still think
I'll win." .
Revel, one of three "lame
duck" councilmen, had been
expected to seek reelection to
his past council post, thus it
came as a surprise to many
when he submitted to petition
for mayor.
Revel said he had been con
sidering the move "for quite
some time" and that he would
run on the basis of his "inter
est and experience" in city
government. He served on the
city planning .commission for
two years before being elect
ed to his current four-year
council term.
"There are a lot of import
ant issues coming up in the
next four years," Revel said.
He added that Ashland has "a
lot of potential" and that
there definitely has to be
more planning than there Is."
Revel,- an Ashland optome
trist, -said emphasis should be
on planrung.for.,the..future.
Spealcmg . of. the council,
Revel said "leadership has to
come - or should come - f rorh
that body," that "organization
the responsibility of the
mayor." . '
' In addition to Neill and Rev
el, two other- candidates, W.
R. Brown and Norman Lin
dahl,. have' filed for. mayor.
Rumors also have been circu
lating that Russell Osborn,
owner of the Varsity theater,
would seek the post.
'I've been asked to run by
many people, usDorn saia
today, and "I'm thinking
about it." He said; he has a
petition on his desk, but that
he has not yet reached a def
inite decision.
City Recorder W. E. Bartelt
said today that no one has fil
ed for the council seat which
Revel will vacate or the two
currently held . ' by -. Emmet
Whitham and George Ward.
Both Whitham and Ward have
filed for reelection.
Filing deadline is Aug. 29.

Week Long Fair
To End Saturday
The wee k-long Jackson
County 4-H and FFA fair
reaches a climax tonight with
the livestock auction.
Last year about 100 buyers
were bidding on top 4-H and
FFA livestock. County 4-H
Agent Glenn Klein said he
hoped there would be as many
buyers this year, if not more.
Fair officials hope for a good
average bid price on all stock
rather than very high top
prices and extreme lows. This
year there will be 302 head of
animals to auction off com
pared to 268 head last year.
Included are 100 steers, 120
sheep, 80 pigs, one pen of fry
er chickens and one market
rabbit.
Last years averages were
42 710 cents a pound for
sheep, 36 cents a pound for
swipe and 40Vs cents a pound
for beef. Bill Bray, of Midway
auction yard, will be auc
tioneer again this year. .
During yesterday s fair
events Russell Frink, Central
Point, was named champion
showman with his Berkshire
hog. Jan Main, West Side, ex
hibited the champion market
lamb. Billie Jones, Gold Hill,
had the champion market hog.

Russia Launches
Space Ship With
Dogs, Equipment
Moscow - (UPD - The Soviet
Union today launched a sec
ond space ship carrying two
dogs and television equipment
to picture their behavior dur
ing the flight.
The official Soviet Tass
news agency said the approxi
mately two-ton space ship
went into orbit at a height of
198 miles and is circling the
earth every 90.6 minutes.
At the International Aero
nautical Congress in Stock
holm, Prof. Anatole Blagon-
ravov, a top Soviet rocket ex
pert, told a news conference
that Russia will attempt to
bring the dogs back to earth,
but he declined to speculate
on the chances for success of
this feat.
The first space ship was or
bited by the Soviet Union
three months ago. And the
first artificial satellite with a
living thing aboard was sent
aloft by the Soviets in Novem
ber, 1957, with the dog Laika.
No attempt was made to bring
Laika back to earth, and it
died after a week in orbit.

Control of Dogs
Written Opinion To
Answer Questions
County Clerk E. M. Mad
den has requested a written
opinion from District Attor
ney Thomas J. Reedcr to
clarify a number of questions
his office has received regard
ing dog control.
In a letter written' to Reed
cr this week, Madden explain
ed that the clerk's office is
receiving petitions for filing
concerning dog control. At the
same time they are receiving
numerous inquiries concern
ing the authority of the votes
on dog control.
Questions asked by Madden
include:
1. Because dog control was
petitioned and voted on at the
special primary election for
the city of Medford, what ef
fect would the repeal of the
county dog control have upon
the city of Medford?
2. Would the fact that the
city measure and ' precinct
measures have not been adver
tised, prevent Ihem from hav
ing any effect until so adver
tised? Several Laws
3. At the special primary
election, the voters of Med
ford, city of Rogue River and
several precincts voted on
separate dog control measures
as well as the measure for
county-wide dog control. Are
there in effect several laws
now in existence, one for each
of these areas rasoeclively.
and one for the entire county?
And would the repeal of the
county dog control measure
repeal the other measures?
4. Some precincts in the
city of Medford are now petl
tioning for a new vote in or
der to repeal the dog control
Can a single precinct repeal
the dog control measure with
in the city unless the entire
city voted for such a repeal?
Also, where one precinct-vot
ed for dog control-and the
city to the contrary? . ,
5. Would the stale stable
providing for the adoption . of
oog control also control Its
repeat Would the ballot title
be Identical as to )the one In
the primaries?
6. If. the old,, same ballot
measure is used, would it be
legal to have a narrative de
scription of what a "yes" and
no" vote would accomplish?
Maddtn's Opinion
Madden said that It was his
opinion that if the county
measure had failed in the pri
mary, it would not have con
trolled the city measure. How
ever, if the county measure
had passed in the primary and
the city measure defeated,
then the county measure
would control the city by re
quiring dog control.
In concluding, Madden ex
plained that a piecemeal at
tempt to repeal the vote of
the primary has many diffi
cult legal ramifications. He
explained that he felt that the
the people should know the
answers to some of these
problems In order that they
may not waste their time and
effort, on unproductive peti
tions and campaigns.
He asked Reeder for a
written opinion within 10
days.

tempt was to be made today

ber which went aground on

However, the executive

Prosecutor Roman Rudenko
recommended that his life be

the three-man court-there was
no jury-to give Powers 15
years in prison. .
Powers made a last abject
personal plea to the court. -
The flier asked the judges
to consider that he was led

Powers appeared calm. He
