Forest Fire Destroys Two California Towns Nixon Abandons Ike's Proposal On Medical Care 'Preventive' Care Features New Plan Washington - (UPD - Vice President Richard M. Nixon split'with the Eisenhower ad ministration's p r o p o s al on medical care for the aged Saturday and endorsed a new plan featuring a broader pro gram of "preventive" care. Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R- N.Y.), presented the plan in a Senate speech and later claim ed Nixon's support at a news conference. A Nixon spokes man then confirmed that the GOP presidential n o m i nee had worked in the prepara tion of the plan and favored its adoption; The Senate finance commit tee has already approved a bill that would provide medi cal care to persons over 65 under public assistance ma chinery administered by the states. A similar bill was ap proved by the House. Opposes Tax Increase The Eisenhower administra tion has indicated it would accept either approach but has served notice that it op. poses any move to finance medical benefits by increasing social security payroll taxes. Democrats are backing a measure to provide medical care at age 68 under the so cial security system. Richard Bean, Nixon's as sistant press secretary, told newsmen that Arthur S. Flem ming, secretary .of health, edu cation and welfare, also had worked on the Javits propos al. That statement suggested the administration may.be ready to shift its position, but Javits made no such claim. Saltonslall Switches , Among co-sponsors of Ja vits' proposal, however, was Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R Mass.), who had offered the administration's "medicare" program. Aides said Salton slall will support the new plan instead. r, Three Hyatt Lake Tracts Available Three tracts f land on the east shore of Hyatt lake are available for leasing under the Small Tract act, accord ing to the bureau of land management.

JAN MAIN, WESTSIDE Grind Champion Prim More Than 100 Flee; No Casualties Listed Foresthill, Calif. - (UPD - A man-started forest fire de stroyed two California towns Saturday and roared on 'un checked after more than 100 persons fled its fury, leaving; their belongings behind. J No casualties had been re-! ported, however. The fire raced up the west ern slope of the Sierra, threat ening this town of Foresthill, which has a population of 500 persons, where refugees from other nearby towns have been coming. A forestry official es timated that 2,000 persons live in the area of the blaze. The fire destroyed the town of Michigan Bluff, population 100, seven miles west of here, burning about 50 homes, and the town of Bath, which has about 20 residents. All of the destroyed towns' residents fled as did the 25 persons who live at Bakers ranch, which also was threat ened by the fire. Mike Brock, state division of forestry ranger, said that with five houses here and five there ' it's hard to tell whose home is burned down." Firefighters were using three planes and 200 to 300 men on the ground In an ef fort to quell the blaze. Some of the men came from as far as Fresno, 200 miles to the south. The American Red Cross set up emergency headquar ters in the Foresthill Memor ial hall to care for the fire refugees. Residents from Michigan Bluff said they had to leave their homes with no time to take any belongings. City to Receive Annexation Poll The opinion poll on , the an nexation of an area south and west of Medford will be pre sented to the city in about 10 days, according to Wallace B. Brill, polling committee chair man. Brill said that the commit tee will then ask the city to conduct a study of the area to indicate which parts would be accessable for sewerage. With this information, the committee hopes to be able to determine an area which can be both sewered and success fully annexed. Compromise Not Possible Miller No compromise solution to the proposed Phoenix-Talent boundary change is possible, according to County Judge Earl Miller. It had been suggested that perhaps the Jackson County Boundary board might decide to allow the area to be an nexed with the exception of Rogue Valley Manor. Decision, on the question will come Wednesday after noon when the boundary board meets. This decision will be announced Thursday morning. Miller said. 4-H CLUB Southdown MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, Sanctions Slapped On Dominican Republic by OAS Dominican Delegates Stalk Out of Meeting San Jose, Costa Rica - fflTI) - Foreign ministers of the West ern hemisphere, including U.S. Secretary of State Christian A. Hcrter, voted 19-0 Saturday to impose drastic sanctions against the dictatorial Domin ican Republic shortly after the Dominican delegation stalked out of the conference.

Dominican Foreign Minis ter Porfirio Herrera Baez and his delegation walked out of the conference room a short while before the dramatic vote was taken, accusing the OAS of a "violation of our sovereignty."

Nineteen of the 21 Ameri can states-Venezuela did not lake part as complaining par ty and the Dominican Repub lic was absenWoted an im mediate diplomatic boycott of the Dominican regime, a arms embargo and possible econ omic sanctions" in the future. The sanction measures vot ed by the hemisphere minis ters were being forwarded to OAS headquarters in Wash ington,' D.C, in the form of a j resolution. The permanent OAS council will proceed to implement the resolution by asking member slates to sever diplomatic relations with the Dominican regime. - Public Opinion Poll on Stadium Announced The Jackson county court and county recreation com mission are attempting lo find out whether county residents favor or oppose a proposed sports stadium at the county fairgrounds.
