Kennedy Hopes for
Increased Support
In Southern Area
Washington-UPD-Sen. John
F. Kennedy hoped today his
endorsement by Mississippi's
senators would help swing
other southern Democrats to
support the Kennedy-Johnson
ticket in the presidential cam
paign.
Sens. James O. Eastland
and John C. Stennis Thurs.
day night pledged their sup
port of Kennedy for president
and Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson
for vice president on the na
tional Democratic ticket.
Pierre Salinger, Kennedy's
press spokesman, said "We
hope to win the support of
all Democrats." A handful of
southern Democrats still :
mained silent, however.
Four Withhold Support
In the Senate Harry F.
Byrd of Virginia, Richard B.
Russell and Herman Tal
made of Georgia, and Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina
have not publicly endorsed
the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.
Georgia Gov. Ernest Van
diver, who was scheduled to
confer with Kennedy this aft
ernoon, also has not given his
blessing to the national ticket.
Kennedy was expected to ask
again for Vandiver's support.
Other southern governors
withholding their endorse
ment included Orval Faubus
of Arkansas and Jimmie Davis
of Louisiana.
Kennedy told United Press
International that he hoped
to win Byrd's backing before
the end of the campaign. He
said he felt Byrd's support
would assure him victory in
Virginia which went to Presi
dent Eisenhower in 1952 and
1956.
Byrd Refused Adlai
In both 1952 and 1956 Byrd
refused to give his support
to Democratic candidate Ad
lai Stevenson.
Kennedy's aides, mean
while, were preparing a state
ment dealing with another
aspect of his southern cam
- paign strategy.
They were ready to give an
answer to whether National
Congress Changes
Allowance for Yets
Veterans with war time
service connected disabilities
of 50 per cent or more and
having a wife and three or
more children, have up to
now received additional com
pensation for a wife and
three children, or having no
wife but three or more chil
dren, for three children only.
An act of Congress approv
ed June 8, 1960 provides that
the veteran will receive ad
ditional allowance for each
additional child over and
above the three children al
ready provided for.
Any veteran . claimant hav
ing four or more children and
is rated at 50 per cent or more
should re-open his claim for
additional allowance for the
additional child or children,
according to Jerry V. Bianco-
ni, veterans service office.
For further information and
asistance with re-opening of
said claim, contact Bianconi,
whose office is located on the
third floor of the county
court house.

Committeeman Frank Reeves
of Washington, D.C., a Ne
gro, would travel with Ken
nedy In the South.
Kennedy has said Reeves,
a campaign assistant, would
accompany him on campaign
trips. Salinger refused to say
Thursday whether Reeves
would go into the South with
Kennedy, however.
Arguments Heard
In Colorado
Water Proposal
New York IUPD A U.S.
Supreme Court - appointed
master hears today rebuttal
arguments by counsel for five
states and the Justice Depart
ment on a proposed decree
apportioning waters of the
Colorado river.
Master Simon H. Rifkind,
who wrote the proposed de
cree in the capacity of spe
cial master, also planned to
confer with the parties on
proposed changes to the plan.
Arizona Thursday lined up
with Nevada and the federal
government in supporting the
main points of the proposed
decree to be sent to the Su
preme Court for action.
California Opposed
California is strongly op
posed to the proposed settle
ment on grounds it would de
prive 70 Southern California
communities of their primary
water supply. The other
states involved are Utah and
New Mexico.
Arizona accused California
of wasting Colorado river wa
ter. Arizona s special trial
counsel, Mark Wilmer, Phoe
nix, appeared before Rif
kind to support the main
points of the plan.
Wilmer said talk of "dis
aster" resulting from the pro
posed water division was "a
disaster only in Los Angeles
and San Diego newspapers."
He said that if California
p r a c ticed conservation it
could get along on more man
one-fourth less water than it
would be allotted under the
proposed settlement.
Air Show Planned
Sunday Is Postponed
An air show sponsored by
the Medford 20-30 club sched
uled for Sunday has been
postponed until Sept. 18, ac
cording to club spokesmen.
Bill Brew, project assistant,
said this morning that due to
difficulties in arranging for
the proper aircraft the show
had been called off until next
month.
The show is to feature a dis
play of modern aircraft,
smoke jumpers, a demonstra
tion of fire fighting from air
planes, and an air show queen.
Also at a nominal cost will
be an "air lift" for those de
siring airplane rides.
All proceeds will go to the
National Foundation for medi
cal research. The group was
formerly known as the Na
tional Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis.

Mrs. Powers May
Stay in Russia,
Attorney Says
Moscow -UPD- Barbara PoW'
ers may remain in Moscow
after her husband's trial
over, her attorney said today.
The attorney, Alexander
Parker, said the young worn'
an's final decision would de
pend on the verdict and on
what kind of arrangements
could be made for her visit
ing Francis Gary Powers from
time to time.
Barbara, 25, has been show
ing signs of severe strain as
she watches the pilot she mar
ried fight for his life on the
stage of a concert hall turned
court room. His judges sen
tenced him to 10 years in
prison. The prosecutor had de
manded a 15-year sentence.
The tension understandably
seems at times to make the
wife and husband, in their
rare visual contacts across the
court room, somewhat cold.
But an associate said that she
loves him "deeply."
Although her in-laws, Oliver
and Ida Powers, are with her
during the trial, Barbara does
not turn to them very often
for consolation. They see each
other little outside the court.
No Word Received
Some observers have at
tributed this to a family tiff,
possibly developed in the
whirl of events after it was
learned that Gary was a cap
tive of the Russians. Others,
however, see it more a case
of a lack of shared interests
outside the young man. ,
Neither Barbara nor . the
two older Powers have re
ceived any word from Gary
since their arrival here, al
though it was learned Bar
bara sent him a cable her
first day in the capital.

a large part of the city coun
cil meeting last night.
Among the items approved
was the agreement between
the state highway commission
and Medford regarding the
proposed Pacific freeway
through Medford.
Completion of the agree
ment had previously been
withheld until it was certain
that the city water department
would be paid for water main
replacements made necessary
by the freeway's construction.
The cost was estimated at
$50,000.
Action on a petition to pave
Benson st. from Tenth to
Prune sts. was deferred until
the next council meeting in
two weeks.
A group of about 15 Benson
st. residents of the area ap
peared at the meeting to pro
test the cost and right-of-way
acquisition and to question
the form of the right-of-way
deeds.
City Attorney Joel Reeder
agreed to meet with residents
of the area Thursday, Aug.
25, at 7:30 p.m. to explain the
matter.
Following hearings, favor
able action was taken on:
1) annexation of one acre
of land at the northeast corner
of Sunrise and Harrison;

Rogue Valley Heights exten
sion subdivision;
3) the establishment of a

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE.
Held by City Council;
Other Items Deferred
it was unusual to both annex
and commercially zone an
area in one step.
The proposal to pave alley
between Ivy st. and Oakdale
ave. from Fourth to Fifth sts.,
was denied since the with
drawal of the Zion Lutheran
church and St. Mark's Episco
pal church reduced the num
ber of signatures on the peti
tion below the number
needed.
Under the city manager's
report, council approval was
given to "The Spot," 17 South
Riverside ave., for a Class A
dispenser's liquor license.
Action Deferred
Action was deferred until
next meeting on a proposal to
award a bid for communica
tions equipment. Apparent
low bidder was the General
Electric company, but City
Manager Robert A. Duff
recommended that the bid be
awarded to the Motorola com
pany since the majority of
communications equipment in
tne area is Motorola and parts
would be more readily avail
able.
U.S. Steel Rail
Strike Expected
To Be Long Affair
Pittsburgh, Pa. (UPD A
strike by the United Steel
workers Union that choked
off railroad transportation to
U. S. Steel Corp. plants in
this district today showed in
dications that it might be a
long walkout.
The strike, called Thursday
against the Union Railroad,
a U. S. Steel subsidiary, al
ready had idled about 30,000
steel workers and could add
another 20,000 union mem
bers to the furlough rolls if it
were not settled soon.
Prospects of an early set
tlement appeared slim.
Picket Lines Up
Approximately 1,200 non-
operating employees of the
railroad threw up picket lines
Thursday. The pickets al
lowed non-railroad workers
to enter the plants. '
Production was halted at
five major U. S. Steel works
when basic materials could
not be obtained due to the
lack of transportation. - i
The railroad said that the
union demands would be too
costly, claiming that the wage
and benefit demands exceeded
the estimated 38 to 41-cent
an hour per man increase
granted by the basic steel
companies last January.

Happy Camp-U. S. Forest
