0 O o WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Kennedy Rejects Nixon's Suggestion On Shortcomings Nashville, Tenn. (UPIt Sen. 'John F. Kennedy today re jected the critical suggestion of Vice. President Richard M Nixon that he stop discussing America's shortcomings while Soviet Premier Nikita Khru , shchev and other Communist leaders are in the country. The Democratic presidential candidate campaigned in the South today, concentrating on normally Republican areas of Tennessee around Bristol and Knoxville before afternoon r 1 1 ujun uecisiun i- i i ravors JacKson f minfv Trurkpr Salem - (liPIl - The Oregon Supreme Court today upheld a $20,000 judgment recovered by an injured log truck driver against the Ross Lumber Co. in Jackson county. The decision written by Justice George Rossman af firmed Jackson County Cir cuit Judge William S. Fort. The company has, appealed. v ' The driver, Clinton Ward ' Blaine, was hauling logs to a mill operated by the company. to unload his logs without waning lur t tuiudi, em ployee to appear and operate the winch. Due to a defective brake on the winch, being operated lw a cprnnrl ririvpr who had rolled off the truck and hit Blaine. Practice Said Known ""' The high court said there is "ample evidence indicating a custom on the part of the log truck drivers to operate the machinery and that the prac tice was known to the defen dant company and that there was ample evidence .to sup .port a finding that additional nrecautions should have been taken for the safety of those required to work about the unloading machinery." r The company contended that the accident was due solely to negligence of the . truck drivers in operating the machinery. But the court said fnil.... fn fiirnteti eafa ma. chinorv was a contributing cause of the accident and nrtilrri that the custom of hav ing truck drivers unload their own logs was "beneficial" to "must have realized that the drivers, in the absence of a .rlpnr-pnt warning or super vision, would undertake to , unload ..."

Kelly affirmed; judgment for $3,000 recover ed by a woman who fell down an outside stairway from the second floor of an Ashland motel affirmed. visits to the state capitol of Nashville and to Memphis. Kennedy planned to spend the night at Sioux City, Iowa. The Massachusetts senator was in the delicate position of having to maintain his basic campaign theme - that Amcrl ca has lost international in fluence due to the "drifting" policies of the Eisenhower ad ministration at the time of an East-West crisis in the United Nations. Nixon suggested in cam paign speeches across Michi gan that all candidates refrain from picturing the United States as weak and poorly de fended because such state ments might give comfort to Khrushchev. Kennedy interpreted this as a request by Nixon to "dimin ish the campaign." No Need To Remind This, the Democratic can didate refused to do. He told his first audience, estimated by state police as 7,000 people at the Tri-Cities airpori near Bristol, that he did not need to be reminded by Nixon of the need to rally around the President and country. "I support the President and I support the country," Ken nedy said. "Mr. Khrushchev and Mr. Castro are not im pressed by words, speeches or debates." "They are impressed by strength and power and our vitality as a free society. My responsibility is to speak the truth and say what we think." Truck Sought in VI lU DoULakh mauiam iwuuciy . Klamath Falls-(UPII - Police today looked for a pickup truck which may have been used in the burglary of the .Pacific Fruit and Produce Warehouse early Tuesday. A heavy safe was pushed 75 to 100 yards through the warehouse, loaded at the com pany loading dock and hauled away. .i Several hours later, police roiled in thp smith su burban area where they found the truck abandoned. Indications were the safe was transferred to another truck at this point, police said. -, The safe contained $400 in cash, some $25 in stamps and j an undisclosed amount of checks. Rubber Said To Extinguish Fire, Remain Flexible New York (Science Service) - Rubber that can take ex tremes of heat and cold was reported to the American Chemical Society here. A new nitroso rubber is not only flameproof. It extin guishes flame. It also remains flexible and usable at 40 de grees below zero Fahrenheit, is resistant to solvents and a wide variety of strong chem icals and stands up against sunlight and ozone. Dr. J. C. Montermoso of the U.S. Quar termaster Research and En gineering Command, Natick, Mass., said. I Coats Uniforms I Used to coat fire-fighting uniforms, the new material ! will provide greater protec-j tion for firemen. It will also ! give some protection against nuclear blasts which gener ate short-impulse, high inten-1 sity heat, Dr. Montermoso ; said. To chemists, the nitroso rubber is interesting because its molecular "backbone" is made of carbon, oxygen and ' nitrogen. Direct contact with a flame causes the rubber to give off a gas which tends to extin guish the flame. Dr. Monter moso said. Working with Dr. Monter moso in the research project were C. B. Griffis and Angus Wilson of the Quartermaster Research and Engineering Command and G. H. Craw ford of the Minnesota Min ing and Manufacturing Com pany, St. Paul, Minn. Nixon Derides Talk Of Weakness in Military, Economy With Nixon - (UPB - Vice President Richard M. Nixon today derided charges of U.S. military and economic weak ness and the assertion that the nation's prestige is slipping throughout the world. Nixon made the statement in a campaign speech in the Fort Wayne, Ind., court house square before a crowd esti mated by Allen County Sher iff Chester Dunifon at 20, 000. It was his second cam paign appearance in Indiana in 10 days. Sfeelworkers Hear Secretary Atlantic City N.J. - (UPD -Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell told the 10th con stitutional convention of the United Steelworkers of Amer ica today that relationship be tween labor and management will decide where American economy will go. Prior to today's session at which Mitchell spoke, Donald E. Rarick, unsuccessful candi date for the union presidency three years ago, was beaten as he walked into convention hall. Rarick, McKeesport, P a., said he was attacked by one man. He said his coat was pulled off during the scuffle and a number of . persons "were kicking haymakers while they were holding me." Mitchell said the economic effect of labor - management problems is becoming a ser ious consideration of the en tire world economy "of which we are a part." Projections by the Depart ment of Labor, he said, indi cate a rate of economic growth in America which will raise the standard of liv ing by 24 per cent in the next 10 years. The convention also was ex pected to feature formal dis cussion on a proposal of com plete medical care for the union membership with the steel industry helping to fi nance it. OFF STREET PARKING...

Ashland Dill MU 5-4541 : C. M. Utwlller HI Mrs. Utwlller jjnry toel member Of Oregon & Nitloil Funtrsl Directors Ax'n Nixon's derisive comment on derogatory state m e n t s about the nation's strength came as he again asked for a ban on such observations dur ing the presence of Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev at the United Naitons. Good for People The Republican presidential candidate said, however, that he thinks it is "rather good" for the American people to get another look at Khrush chev so they can be reminded of how the Communist leaders behave. Nixon said the United States is not perfect but he said it is the world's strongest mili tary and economic power. The Soviet Union will not catch the United States economy in seven years, as boasted by Khrushchev, "or in 70 years," the vice presi dent said. Nixon said Khrushchev's presence at the United Na tions will serve as a reminder that Communist leaders were determined to "conquer the world'-peacefully if possible but by other means if neces sary. He warned against a "naive" misunderstanding of the motives of the Commu nist leaders. The vice president did not mention Sen. John F. Ken nedy of Massachusetts by name. He has used the words "democratic rival" in the past, however, in criticizing Ken-1 nedy's statements on the de cline of U.S. strength and! prestige. I Nixon won a round of ap- j plause when he said that President Eisenhower had! ' ended one war and kept the nation out of any other wars since then." Malpractice Suit Affirmed Salem-tUPD-A $6,000 judg ment against a Portland chiro practoc on a charge of mal practice based on a wrong diagnosis was affirmed today by the Oregon Supreme court. Beulah M. Dowell brought suit against Dr. Paul V. Moss berg. The woman said she con sulted Mossberg, complaining of various symptoms, and un derwent a course of treat-1 menti which ended in June, 1954. - Still feeling ill, she went to a medical doctor who diag nosed her ailment as diabetes. She then sued the chiroprac tor. The ruling affirmed Mult nomah County Circuit Judge Alfred P. Dobson. The high court said that "although a test given by the defendant should have Indi cated the possibility of dia betes the defendant instead gave her some 24 treatments of chiropractic art which had nothing to do with diabetes." The opinion was written by Justice Alfred T. Goodwin. The nation's first scientific weather bureau was founded in 1876 by Prof. Eliai Loomls of Western Reserve Univer sity. 1 oil AW rir THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY September 22, 23 &24 Henry & Thyra Holmberg's 40yiOm IN OUR m t3 FREE i Here Is How It Works.
