Building Plans

son will be asked to submit
preliminary plans and cost
estimates for construction of
an all purpose building on the
county fair grounds to house
the county extension offices,
the county court decided yes
terday afternoon.
. A preliminary sketch placed
the building next to the
Maple Grove park and be
tween the fair buildings at
the fairgrounds south of Med
ford. The "L" shaped building
will house 10 offices in one
section, hr ? a patio-type rest
area in the center and an
auditorium with stage and ad
joining large conference
rooms in the other section.
County Horticultural agent,
Clifford B. Cordy, who is also
chairman of the extension of
fice here, said the new build
ing would relieve the crowded
extension offices on the first
floor of the main courthouse
building, would relieve the
crowded courthouse parking
area and make county exten
sion offices more accessible to
farmers and the general pub
lic. The fairgrounds provide
a central location, he said.

He said he called in an

The plane crashed moments
after leaving the runaway

By early afternoon all but
three of the 61 bodies had
been recovered. Those still
missing were believed to be
beyond the reach of skin

main fuselage section.
It was the fifth crash of a

GOP Accused of
Illegal Practices
In Local Drive
County Clerk Marvin Mad
den today . accused Jackson
county Republicans of illegal
practices in their voter regis
tration drive.
Specifically he said tele
phone and house to house
registration soliciting has
been carried on illegally.
Any registrars found con
ducting the house to house
registration solicitation will
be dropped as official voter
registrars, he said.
And unless the Republicans
drop a certain method of soli
citing Republican registra
tions by telephone, the matter
will be referred to District At
torney Thomas J. Reeder,
Madden said.
Madden declared he has
good information that Re
publicans are conducting a
"voter registration survey" by
telephone. A county resident
is asked what party he be
longs to, and if it's the Demo
cratic party, the solicitators
hang up, Madden said. If the
answer is Republican, then
the voter is urged to register
if he hasn't already, the clerk
said.
Using Subterfuge
This is illegal because it is
using subterfuge, Madden
stated. He quoted from a state
law which says that "any per
son is guilty of corrupt prac
tices if he is guilty of using
undue influence to induce
such electors to register or re
frain from registering."
No registrar, under state
law, is allowed to solicit reg
istrations and voter registra
tions cannot be solicited frqm
members of Just one party, the
county clerk declared. This
also applies to telephone soli
citations, Madden added.

Tests Completed
AtPowerplant
Tests completed yesterday
at the Green Springs power
plant in the Talent Irrigation
project were "satisfactory,
generally speaking,", a bureau
of reclamation official here
reported.
Tests were started Thursday
by Richard Krueger, engineer
from the bureau s Denver,
Colo., office. The plant was
tested by injecting a salt so
lution in the penstock by the
surge tank and electronically
checking the velocity of the
water.
This was coupled with exact
measurements of the diameter
of the pipe and exact quantity
of water in the power plant,
the official explained. Various
instruments checked the elec
trical output and the net head
of water on the turbine. These
factors determined the ef
ficiency of the turbine.
Precise results of the tests'
are not yet known since the
data must be collected and
the report made at a later
date, it was explained. The
16,000 kilowatts of power
produced by the plant will be
sold to California Oregon
Power company. This is
equivalent to 21,000 horse
power, the bureau official
said.
Tribune
Republican Central commit
tee, emphatically denied the
charges and angrily said he
would talk to Madden.
As of yesterday, the offi
cial Jackson county voter reg
istration gave the Democrats
an 814 lead over the Republi
cans. The Republicans yester
day had a current total of 17,
386 persons registered and the
Democrats 18,200. The inde
pendents totalled 871. Overall
registration total yesterday
was 36,457.
Polio Shot Clinics

Saturday by J. C.
Polio clinics will be held
Saturday, Oct. 8, between 2
and 6 p.m. in eight locations
in Jackson county, the Med
ford Junior Chamber of Com
merce has announced.
The clinics are being spon
sored by the Jaycees in Med
ford, Eagle Point and Central
Point in cooperation with the
Jackson County Med.ical So
ciety and the Jackson county
health department.
First, second, third or fourth
shots will be administered by
a physician and registered
nurse at each clinic.
All persons under 18 years
old must be accompanied by
a parent or guardian, or must
have a signed consent-note
authorizing the innoculation,
giving name, age and shot to
be administered, according to
H. E. Haydal, Medford, gen
eral chairman of the project.
Chargei Scheduled
Charges of $1 per person
or S3 per family will be
made, Haydal said, but he
added that those who are un
able to pay for the shots will
receive the innoculation any
way. He said any person, no
matter where he lives, may
receive a shot at any one of
the locations.
The clinics will be at the
Jackson county court house
and Red Cross building, 60
Hawthorne ave., Medford; the
music room of the Jackson
ville school; the Talent city
hall; Crater High school cafe
teria, Central Point; the kin
dergarten building in Rogue
River; the Eagle Point grade
school gymnasium; and the

Sweetland Says
Doctors Asked To
Support Appling
Not Asked for Funds,
GOP Candidate Says
Oregon City-IUPD-State Sen.
Monroe Sweetland, D e m o-
cratic nominee for secretary
of state, said today physicians
in Oregon were being solicited
for $50 each fur the campaign
of his Republican rival,
Howell Appling Jr., because
Appling opposes the Forand
Bill to provide medical care
for the aged.
In Salem, Appling said he
has not asked doctors to kick
in $50 apiece to his campaign.
I have no knowledge of what
the doctors are doing," he
said.
Supports Principles
Sweetland told a Lions Club
luncheon he supports the
Forand Bill's principles and
believed it essential that eld
erly persons with low incomes
be provided health insurance
through the established social
security system. He said "My
opponent for secretary of state
calls the Forand Bill 'fool
ish'." Appling said he was
"strongly in favor" of pro
viding medical care to those
who are unable to provide it
for themselves. But he added,
I do not favor heaping addi
tional taxation on marginal
income earners who are bare
ly able to take care of their
own needs in order to provide
free medical care to retired
millionaires, as my opponent
does.
Nixon, Kennedy
Suggested in Talks
" United Nations, N.Y. - (DPD
Saudi Arabia suggested today
that a five - power neutral
resolution calling frr an Ei
senhower - Khrushchev meet
ing could bring in Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon and
Sen. John F. Kennedy for
such talks.
The suggestion was made
by Saudi Arabian Minister of
State Ahmad Shukairy during
General Assembly debate on
the resolution and an Aus
tralian amendment suggesting
instead a Big Four summit
talk at "the earliest practi
cable date."
Shukairy, who often acts as
a spokesman for the Arab
countries, said the "renewed
contacts" sought by the neu
trals need not be limited to
Eisenhower but that he "could
be aided by both Vice Presi
dent Nixon and Senator Ken

FACE CUTS OFF
LATE RALLY FOR
6 TO 4 VICTORY
Pitisburgh-:tTi-The Pittsburgh Pirates won the opening
game of the 1960 World Series today when they shut off a
desperate ninth-inning rally by the New York Yankees to
win, 6-4, on some daring base running and Bill Mazeroski's
two-run homer.
A crowd of 36,676 at Forbes Field watched relief pitcher
Elroy Face induce Hector Lopez of the Yankees to hit into a
game-ending double play after Elstron Howard had hit a
pinch two-run homer that narrowed the Pirates' lead to two
runs.
Victory Saved for Vern Law
Face's relief job saved the victory for starter Vern Law,
who was knocked out of the box in the eighth when the first
two Yankee batters hit singles. Face pitched his way out of
that jam but ran into trouble in the ninth when he yielded
a leadoff single to Gil MacDougald and Howard's pinch homer.
The Pirates, who stole fewer bases than any team in
the National League this season, threw the favored Yankees
off balance in the first inning when they stole two bases
during a throe-run outburst that drove out New York starter
Art Diimar.
Then, after the Yankees had narrowed Pittsburgh's lead
to 3-2 with a run in the top of the fourth, Mazeroski hit a
2-0 pitch by reliever Jim Coates over the left field score
board following a walk to Don Hoak. That blow drove in
what eventually proved to be the winning run.
