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,

-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,

T Benson said it would be

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

pose, vitality and decisive
ness" would symbolize a Ken

-Mrs. Nixon, accompanied
nance.
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

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

that this is nothing more
than the latest excuse to go
steelhead fishing. Bui it it

This is the beginning of the

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,

THE ANGLER'S LOG
Reports from the lower

of steelhead with no spot hav

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.

betting on a better season this
