(i3 O 0 G O o FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1. lflto Truman Plans To Have Partin Campaign; narneid lo Accompany Nixon By United Prut International Former President Harry S, Truman thinks "it's going to Be a very rough campaign' and he intends io have a part in it. Truman announced Thurs day night, during a train lay over in Chicago en route to New York City, that he hoped to make at least a speech a week in support of Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kennedy. He predicted Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon would "throw every thing but the kitchen stove" at each other between now and Nov. 4. "But Kennedy will make a better impression on the people" and will win. Even before Nixon could get out on the campaign trail, Kennedy was making Tru man's forecast of a "rough campaign" a reality. During a whistle-stop train trip through California Thurs day, the Massachusetts senator lambasted the Republican party in terms reminiscent of Truman's 1948 "give 'em hell" campaign that brought an up set victory over Thomas E. Dewey. 'Sam Republican Party' "There is no new Republi can party and no old Republi can party," Kennedy de clared. "There is only the ame Republican party which, for half a century, has op posed every single progressive measure which has been de signed to improve human wel fare and reduce human mis ery." Taking his cue from signs that implored him to "give 'em hell, Jack," the Demo cratic nominee lashed out at the GOP as "the same party which fought against housing programs, school programs and food distribution pro grams." He assailed the Republican record as one of "neglect and indifference" and charged "despite today's vital needs, the Republican party is a con tented party, a satisfied party." "But we Democrats are not content," he said. "We in the Democratic party have not hardened our hearts - we will reach out a helping hand to those in need - and we will continue the struggle until poverty and injustice and hunger are wiped from the face of this rich land forever." In a speech prepared for delivery today in Fresno on the second day of whistle stopping through California, Kennedy said tne searcn ior lasting peace was the nation's number one problem and pledged himself to meet the challenge. Pleased At Reception Following the path blazed in 1948 by Truman - the last Democrat to carry California in- a presidential race - Ken nedy was pleased at his re ception. He ordered his staff to add more back - platform trips to his campaign schedule. Nixon, still hospitalized but now permitted "unlimited walking" on the knee he in jured in North Carolina last month, announced plans for a whirlwind 11-state tour of the nation's farm belt and the South the week of Sept. 18. Nixon's cress secretary, Herbert G. Klein, said the Republican candidate would leave Walter Reed Army Medical Center sometime Sat urday morning. Nixon will resume his cam- nalenine Monday, following a television panel show ap pearance Sunday. Klein said President Eisenhower would be on hand for the Monday sendoff from Friendship Air port near Baltimore. The vice president's wife, Pat, Interior Secretary Fred A Seaton and Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield will accompany Nixon on the jet hop to In dianapolis, Ind., Dallas and San Francisco. Religion No Bar The farm belt-southern tour will take Nixon to South Da kota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana. Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois. Wisconsin, Kansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, niher ripveloDments: -Klein said Nixon "doesn't believe a man's religion is a bar to public office . . . doesn't believe anyone should endorse him on the basis of the re ligious issue, -Agriculture Secretary Ezra T Benson said it would be ideal to take farm problems "out of politics." He said he would take "a very active part" In the campaign In sup port of the Nixon-Lodge tick- - GOP vice presidential nominee Henry Cabot Lodge laid at Lowell, Mass.

Johnson, opening his cam paign in Boston, Mass. - home state of his running mate and Zone Variance Denied by City Planning Commission The Medford city planning commission last night recom mended denial of one zoning variance, recommended ap proval of another and called for public hearings on several others. Denial was recommended to a request for variance from the Tru - Mech Corporation which wanted to install a trad ing stamp dispenser assembly plant at 111 North Fir st. The area is zoned commer cial, which prohibits all kinds of assembly operation, and Tru-Mech had asked that it be allowed to use the property as a light industrial zone. In a letter to the planning commission, the company said it would assemble the stamp dispenser machines, which are about the size of small adding machines, from parts previ ously manufactured outside of Medford. The firm would have employed from 2 to 5 persons, company officials said. The commission's recom mended denial was unani mous. In stating his position. Com mission Member Don Walters said the use of a variance can be misused. Wallers said a variance in this case is "the same as rezoning." By re questing the variance, he said, the applicants are "soft pedal ing" to accomplish some thing. . The commission approved granting a request from the Standard Insurance company that it be allowed to erect a sign on their new building on the east side larger than that allowed in the zoning ordi fl.T r.lll.

The Class II multiple fam ily zone, under which the new building falls, establishes a maximum size of 10 square feet for signs on professional and vocational office build ings. Standard Insurance com pany requested it be allowed to erect a sign reading "Stand ard Insurance Building" in one-foot high cast aluminum letters along the face of the building. This would be a to tal of 36 square feet, it was pointed out. Commission Chairman Paul Selby said there are three con ditions under which a vari ance may be granted. These are: that the denial of the var iance would result in a hard ship amounting to the practi cal confiscation of the proper ty or use thereof; that the var iance can be made or granted without detriment to public safety, health or welfare; and that such variance shall be in keeping with the, purpose and intent of this ordinance. The commission found that the sign request complied with the last two of the three conditions. Some confusion arose over whether the words "practical c o n f i s cation of property" applied in this case. City Attorney Joel Reeder said that these words, al though nice-sounding, are not practical when trying to give them a definite meaning. He said it was up to the commis sion to decide. The commission gave its unanimous approval to the re quest and then implied that each request for a sign vari ance would be judged on its r.-.i'jfm :: Af i'illi f;l:Ii 1 'F Syy'Mi it I- tp i .

A request for change of zone from Class IB to Class VI heavy industrial of several lots on Welch st. near the rail road tracks was continued pending more information on the matter. The commission gave its ap proval to a request to operate a beauty shop as a home occu pation at 3089 Crater Lake highway. It found the request met the requirements of the tuning uruiuance ior a nomei occupation. The commission set its next meeting, Oct. 13, as the date for three public hearings. These are on requests for a change of zone from Class IA to Class II at 2120 Table Rock rd.; for change of zone on property near Bear creek ad jacent to Crater Lake high way; and for a variance to the setback requirements in the zoning ordinance to construct a patio cover at 508 West 1th.

Standout end Gordy Carri gan, fullback Al Barnes, tackle Neil Green and half back Kerm Bennett are the Crater grads and all are re turning veterans. Medford boasts vets Tony Brauner, an NAIA district standout at guard, Eldon Francis, a three-year letter man at halfback, and new comers Lynn Knight and Tom Morris, both linemen. Al McKinnis and George Moses are the pair from Ash land high. McKinnis was a fullback last year while Moses is a freshman who will be playing in the line some where. There are three from Phoe nix in Del Brood, Willie Gar ner and Ron Wilmont while Doyle Bransom is the lone ball player from Jacksonville. Brood, a back, was out all last year with an injury, but Gamer was named to the conference all-star team as a tackle. Bransom is one of the quickest backs on the Raider squad from last year while Wilmont is a freshman end. Practice was limited to fundamentals and passing again yesterday as the Raid ers continued their search for a quarterback who could pass the ball. Mostly offense and the viewing of films in the eve ning have been taking the most time in an effort to acquaint everyone with the Raider offense. Akins and his assistants have been pointing towards a full game scrim mage for Sunday afternoon. af I'lT'lk'filrHill ISTH "el.'T.I.'Mrl.IT. TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. ORE. Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Most everyone is acquaint ed with the concept of per sonality types and the attend ant pairing of these into, cer tain classifications. We find the daytime and nighttime type, the impulsive and the reserved type, the happy and the gloomy type, and any number of similar black and white assumptions. By way of introducing a favorite sub ject, I am happy to conclude that I must be a fall and win ter type as opposed to a spring and summer type. At this time of the year there seems to be an intense urge to get out and do things. RATIONALIZATION? It mutt be confesied that this pronouncement of self discovery has been met with miles and scepticism. The better half of the family management -plan insists that this is nothing more than the latest excuse to go steelhead fishing. Bui it it to my benefit that the ac cept! thit rationalization with a tmile and encouraget me in my urge io get out and do thingt-like getting out to the river and trying to catch a steelhead. NOW IS THE TIME This is the beginning of the fall and winter steelhead sea sons and anyone in Southern Oregon is ideally situated to enjoy some of the best fishing to be found in North Amer ica. The only catch to such an extreme statement is the fact that it involves more than just stepping down to the stream and throwing a baited hook somewhere out in the water. The answers to the problems of where, how, and when are found through practice and perseverance. The past week end was a prime example of how tills system pays off, KLAMATH PAYOFF Rumors of a large run of steelhead on the lower Klamath river set wheels in motion which culminated in a two-family brigade setting off for below Happy Camp last Saturday.

This area it recom mended for thoie who like finding the more primitive placet where man and na ture are still in a type of balance. The scenery it en joyable to thoie who like it in huge chunkt and can bed down betide it without benefit of Copco't product. The really exciting lind of the trip wat the talmon and tteelhead fishing. Since these fith are similar in their habitt no matter which river contain! their runt, picking the tail end of a riffle and uting a proven lure toon paid off.

Even my five-year-old ton managed to land a tteelhead of about lVi poundt. Who could complain of a fishing trip resulting in a catch ranging from two to 30 pounds? Of courte the na tives apologised for the tlow fishing and promited that it would be much better in two to three weekt. We laid we'd be back. THE ANGLER'S LOG Reports from the lower Rogue indicate spotty catches of steelhead with no spot hav ing an abundance of luck. Fish are being found from Robertson bridge on down but the expectations are that the full fish will be slow getting here. The work on the jetty at tile mouth of the river may hold them up for a while. Summer steelhead are taking to single eggs In the upper river and some fishermen are betting on a better season this year as compared to the last three years.

Klamath Lake - The perch and catfish arc biting in Crys tal creek. It's 30 minutes by fast boat to the Williamson river where the trout have gone. Duck hunters should keep in mind the new facili ties now available at Bob Sloan's. There is a restaurant bar - grocery store and new boat landing with on-the-dock gas service. Breakfast will be served to the early hunter. Four large double cabins are available. Willow Creek - No one has found a way to catch those fish yet. There . are three cabins for deer hunters in one of the best hunting areas. Howard Prairie - Bank fish ermen seem to have the edge using cluster eggs. Trolling or drifting a green frog flatfish has had fair results. Fish weighing two to four pounds seem to like those cluster eggs.
