OAS Conference
Closes; Cubans
First To Leave
San Jose, Costa Rica - (UPD -Western
Hemisphere foreign
ministers signed a stern anti
Communist statement of poli
cy today ending a two-week
emergency conference here.
Diplomats of 19 American
nations signed the Declaration
of San Jose condemning Sino
Soviet intervention in hemi
sphere affairs at a 13-minute
ceremony.
The seventh consultative
Assembly of American For

condemned as an aggressor
nation, and Cuba, which walk
ed out Sunday when its Com
munist partners were criti
cized, were not present at the
closing ceremonies.
Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter said in a planeside
statement prior to his depar
ture from San Jose that the
declaration constitutesa
"clear indictment of the Cas
4 ffnvprnment of Cuba and
particularly tbe role it played
in furthering Sino - Soviet
efforts at intervention into
this hemisphere."
Castro Not Mentioned
Actually, the declaration
did not specifically mention
Premier Fidel Castro or Cuba,
but there was no mistaking its
targets.
Cuba's Raul Roa walked out
of the meeting Sunday night
in anger over the resolution
and the unanimous rebuff
given his charges of U.S. "ag
gression." He said the Fidel
Castro regime would take its
dispute to the United Nations.
His absence left 19 of the 21
American states represented

San Jose" - a seven - point
warning to Russia and Red
China to halt infiltration of

Dog Control Law
Becomes Effective
In County Tuesdayi
Jackson county's controver
sial dog control law will go
into effect tomorrow with
most law enforcement agen
cies expressing their willing
ness to enforce its provisions.
Assistant District Attorney
Jerald Scanncl Jr., said today
that all dogs will be picked up
which are off their owner's
premises and not in the com
pany or control of their own
er or are without an adequate
muzzle.
Owners of dogs found run
ning at large will be prosecut
ed in district court. If the
owner is found guilty of let
ting his dog run at large he
is subject to a fine of $10 for
the first offense and $25 for
each subsequent offense.
Special County Fund
Scannell said the fine mon
ey will go into a special coun
ty fund to pay for the cost of
prosecution, and for any dam
ages that the dog might cause.
This is provided for by state
law, he noted.
Scannell met with the Coun
ty Dog Control Officer Chris
Hagler this morning to go
over enforcement procedures,
and to devise a citation form
to be issued.
Hagler said last week that
he expects the two trouble
spots in the county to be Ash
land and Medford. The police
departments in both these cit
ies, he said, have expressed
their willingness to cooperate
in enforcing the law within
their city limits. - - -
Hagler-whose dog control
equipment consists of himself,
one full-time man, one part-
time man, a county -owned
pickup truck and his own ve
hiclesaid he will wait and
see how much work the law
requires before asking the
county court for more men
and equipment.
Medford Police Chief
Charles P. Champlin, who is
not too happy over the fact
that his officers will have to
transport at-largc dogs from
within the city to the dog
pound via their patrol cars,
said that he received word
from the Southern Oregon
Humane society that they
plan to offer their assistance,
especially in regards to sick
and injured dogs.
Both Hagler and Champlin
said they will enforce the law
"like any other law.

ate spurted toward adjourn
ment today by sending a med
ical care bill for the needy
aged to the White House and
voting to restore some of the
funds chopped from President
tisenhower s foreign aid pro
gram.
The vote on the ooliticallv
controversial medical bill was
74-11. Final action came after
sen. Kusscll Long, (D-La.), fin
ished speaking at length on
the bill which had been slated
for passage last Saturday.
Senate approval by a 56-31
vote of the extra foreign aid
ninas sun must win House ap
proval. The additional $191
million was tacked onto a sup
plemental appropriations hill
containing money for various
governmental, agencies and

Wrangle Shapes Up
A congressional wranaio
still shaped up, however, over
me ioreign aid money. Speak
er Sam Rayburn, (D-Tex.),
gave his qualified support to
the administration request but
noted there was strong oppo
sition developing among in-
nuentlal House members.
Another hurdle still to be
cleared is the deadlocked min
imum wage bill. Senate-House
negotiators try again this af
ternoon to break their stale
mate. But they were pessimis
tic. Compromise Sought
The negotiators are trvlnc
to write a compromise be
tween the House-approved 15
cent hike in the $l-an-hour
wage floor and the Senate-
passed 25 cent boost. The con
ferees Friday twice rejected
the Senate version, sponsored
by Democratic presidential
nominee John F. Kennedy,

-The House Agriculture
committee was called to a
closed-door meeting to consid

to push through the request
but might settle on some com
promise, -Sen. Clifford P. Case, (R
N.J.), introduced a bill to
crack down on the "giant oc-
topus" of organized crime.
The measure would make it
a crime to travel between
