promising its dispute with the

Khrushchev To Attend
U.N. Meeting Sept. 20
Moscow - OIPD - Premier
Nikita Khrushchev will head
the Soviet delegation to the
15th General Assembly of the
United Nations which starts
in New York Sept. 20, it was
announced today.
President Eisenhower also
may make an appearance at
the U.N. with the United

heads of other western na

American sources have made
it clear in the past that there
is absolutely no chance of an
under the table informal
summit meeting.
Khrushchev broke up the
East-West summit meeting in
Paris in May over the issue
of the U. S. U2 spy plane

poned today when Medford
Chamber of Commerce boa-d
members delayed a scheduled
meeting.
The governor's committee
met in Medford last week as
part of a plan to prevent
'capitolitis" by having key ad

Discussion of a proposed let

expressing dissatisfaction with
the meeting, will be deferred
until next week's meeting, ac
cording to Gerald Latham,
chamber president.
The proposal originated
Monday at . the chamber's
roundtable meeting when sev

They said that they had

Council To Call
City Election
The city council will call
for a municipal election and
will consider a proposed ad
justment in taxi cab fares
when it meets at 7:30 o'clock
tonight in the city hall.
The call for a municipal elec

along with the general elec

A proposed adjustment in
taxi cab fares is being re
quested by the two taxi cab
companies in Medford the
Yellow Cab company and
Courtesy Cab company.
According to City Manager
Robert Duff, the only sub
stantial change is the reduc

zone and the establishment of
a 65-cent zone in the portion
of the 50-cent area that is
being eliminated.
The council will also hear
a report on the city's parking
meter problems with the new
Jackson County Federal Sav

ing. A proposed annexation of
an area bounded by Alncrt

Fish Stranded In
Hyatt Lake; Bag
Limits Removed
Thousands of fish are being
stranded at Hyatt reservoir
which is being drained to in
stall screens in the outlet of
the Impoundment this fall, the
Oregon state came commission
has reported. '
All bag limits were re
moved from Hyatt by official
atcion of Game Director Phil
Schneider Tuesday, Aug. 30.
The action was taken to allow
the public to salvage and take
home as many fish as they are
able to use.
The fish that are flounder
ing are large-moum Dass,
crappies, b 1 u e-gills, sunfish
and catfish. The game commis
sion was going to treat Hyatt
this fall to correct a serious
over-population of sunfish and
crappies.
These fish were becoming
stunted and were limiting the
development and growth of
other desirable spiney-rays.
Complete draining of the re
servoir means that treatment
with rotenone will not be
necessary.
The drawdown is expected
to be complete by Sunday,
Sept. 4, according to Walt
Hoffbuhr, manager of the Tal
ent Irrigation district. He and
Cole Rivers, field agent for
the game commission, urged
the public to salvage many of
these good fishes to eliminate
unnecessary waste.
The commission plans to re
stock the reservoir in 1961
with blue-gills, catfish and
large-mouth ' bass. Because
good angling will not be pro
duced until about 1963, trout
will also be added to furnish
somef ishing until the spiney-
ravs can grow to large sizes
and support a productive fish
erv at the reservoir again.
The screen installation in

Kasai Spearmen
Said Holding Own
Against Soldiers
No Prisoners Taken;
All Captives Killed
Leopoldville, Congo - OIPD -The
painted Baluba spearmen
of Kasai Province appeared to
day to be at least holding
their own against the rifles,
machine guns and recoilless
cannon of Premier Patrice
Lumumba's army.
Reports from the strife-torn
province said 35 soldiers and
about 1,000 Balubas - men,
women and children - have
been killed in fierce fighting
around Bakwanga, capital of
Albert Kalonji's secessionist
"mining state" in southern
Kasai.
UPI correspondent Glenne
Currie reported from Bak
wanga that Lumumba's troops
control most of the town while
the Balubas have a free run
of the woods and rolling hills
just outside- especially at
night.
"There have been no pris
oners on cither side," Currie
said. "All captives have been
killed out of hand, both by
the troops and by the Balubas,
according to the remaining
white residents.
"Both sides cut off the
hands of their dead adversaries
and sport them as trophies on
their belts."
A U.N. detachment of 400
Tunisians is on duty in Bak
wanga, protecting the town's
white population and main
taining order at the airport.
There have been no reports
of white casualties in the
fighting.
Currie said a few-perhaps
200-of the Balubas are armed
with modern rifles. The oth
ers are fighting Lumumba's
well-armed troops with an
cient muzzle-loading rifles,
spears or bows and arrows.
"They are no match for . . .
Lumumba's troops in direct
combat, but they are doing a
lot ol damage In night fight
ing,"-. Currie reported. -The
Balubas seem to be better
organized now, and will cer
tainly keep up their night
attacks."
Congo troops overran Kasai
last week end without opposi
tion, and were preparing to
tackle the Belgian-led troops
defending "independent" Ka
tanga Province when the bat
tle with the Balubas started
up at Bakwanga.
There has been no fighting
as yet between Lumumba's
forces and troops loyal to Ka
tanga's President Moise
Tshombe.
Tshombe went to (he former
Belgian army base at Kamina
today to seek assurances from
the U.N. troops who "neutral
ized" it Wednesday that they
will not allow Lumumba's
army to use the base airfield.
