GOP Registration
Drive Practices
Said Not Illegal
The Republican registra
tion program currently in
progress is not illegal as
County Clerk Marvin Madden
has charged,' Jackson County
Republican Central Commit
tee Chairman-Joe Walsh said
today.
In a telephone conservation
with Jack Thompson, Salem,
chief of elections under the
secretary of state, this morn
ing Walsh said that inomp-
son explained that the tele
phone approach used by the
-As of Wednesday evening
the official Jackson county
voter registration gave the
Democratic a 822 lead over
the Republicans.
. The Republicans yester
day had a current total of
17,473 persons . registered
and the Democrats 18,295.
Independents totalled 882.
Overall registration total
yesterday was 36.650.
Jackson County Republican
party under question by the
county clerk is a "fit and
proper " political activity.
Thompson restated this po
sition in a telephone call this
morning to him by the Mail
Tribune. '-..
He suggested that the per
sons engaged in the registra
tion campaign identify him or
herself at the beginning of the
call then state the nature of
business.
Eliminate Misunderstanding
This Thompson explained,
would eliminate any misun
derstanding in the minds of
the persons-receiving the tele
phone call as to the identity
of the solicitator.
Telephone campaigning as
conducted by any party is a
perfectly legitimate activity,
Thompson continued.- He add
ed that from the information
he had received from Mad
den's office and from others
he could find nothing -illegal
in the telephone campaign-being
conducted by the Repub
lican party.
He commented that if . inci
dents reported by Madden
were true where individual
callers were improper, name
ly, rude or discussed matters
unrelated to registration, this
would not be a legitimate
activity. .
Accuses Party
Wednesday Madden accused
county' Republicans of illegal
practices in their voter regis
tration drive, in me voter
registration campaign being!
conducted by telephone the
caller asks the political party
of the resident. If it s the
Democratic party, the solid
tators hang up. If the answer
is Republican, the person is
urged to register if he hasn't
already.
Walsh, said Republican
volunteer workers are work
ing in the interest of a Re
publican victory in November
in much the same manner as
Democratic party workers.
"There has been absolutely
no attempt by Republican
workers to convert members
of the opposition party,' but
only to encourage unregister
ed Republicans to use their
right of expression at the
polls. . .--'.
Primary Function
, "This is a primary function
of precinct workers of both
major parties. The Republi
can party .feels .that it is
wrong to suggest that en
couraging voter registration
is in anyway an evil or illegal
act," Walsh continued.
Walsh claimed: the county
clerk is apparently not well
versed on election laws as
evidenced by the support of
the Republican registration
program by the state elections
department.
Wednesday afternoon Mad
d e n requested an opinion
from the district attorney re
garding the voter registration
survey; procedure being cur
rently used by the Republi
cans. The opinion is expected
today. ,

DONATE BOOKS The next friendship
pouch sent by Mayor John Snider to Med
ford's sister city. Alba, Italy, will contain
two books, gifts from Mrs. James Medley's
sixth grade class at Jackson school. The
youngsters are shown above as they de
livered the boolS to Mayor Snider in his
ffice yesterday afternoon. TJrclass ac
quired the money to buy the books by win
ning the PTA attendance cogtest recently,
and instead of spending it on themselves,
decided to invest it in this gesture of good
will. The books, one on the use of the li
brary and one on cowboys, presumably will
be made available to Alba grade school
students.
'Brief- shutddwhs' vh,f ci
riave : featured the operation
of the lumber Industry in
Jackson county during the
past several months, continued
during September, and near
the end of the month appeared
to be increasing, John Patton,
manager of the Medford office
of the state employment serv
ice said today. ; .. -
Reason for the shutdowns,
Patton said, continues to be
low wholesale lumber prices,
which made operation unprof
itable for many firms. Most of
the.shutdowns, he added, have
proved to be of short dura
tion so far.
As a result of the shut
downs, many retail businesses
apparently have experienced
an . erratic business pattern,
and have been operating with
reduced staffs. ,
"The continued warm weath
er experienced this year," Pat
ton said, "while favoring the
continuance of outside work,
was apparently holding back
considerable fall retail buy
ing. Consumers appeared to
have little interest in fall
merchandise while summer
weather continued as daily
fare."
Employment Remains High
Patton said that in spite of
the temporary shutdowns, em
ployment in Jackson county
remained high, and many em
ployers were interested in hir
ing applicants with good quali
fications. Scarcity of job op
portunities was most notice
able in unskilled occupations,
he added.
While some firms were re
porting business as slow, oth
ers were reporting normal to
better than normal activity,
he noted.
. The pear harvest was com
pleted as the month ended
Patton noted. There was
shortage of pickers through.
out the month, but with, no
loss of time because of weath
er conditions, the crop was
completed on schedule.
Patton said that if major
layoffs in the lumber indus
try occur, It will have a great
affect on almost all other em
ployment. Otherwise, employ
ment should remain fairly
high throughout the rest of the
year with only a gradual de
cline through December
Fruit gift box packing will
largely offset employment de
clines on other lines with the
exception of lumber, where
employment will be controlled
by the twin problems of prices
and weather conditions, Pat
ton said.

BY 16 TO
Pittsburgh-(UP-Mickey Mantle hit two home runs and
the New York Yankees exploded with seven runs in the
sixth Inning today to crush the Pittsburgh Pirates, 16-3, in
one of the most one-sided games in World Series history.
The triumph evened the 1960 series at one victory for
each team. The classic now shifts to New York Saturday
with the Yankees favored to win.
Today's 13-run victory margin was just one short ot
equalling the most lopsided score in series annals. The worst
trouncing was the Yankees' 18-4 victory over the New York
Giants in the second game of the 1936 classic.
Mantle's homers brought his series' total to 13, only two
short of the immortal Babe Ruth's record total of 15.
Howard Richardson Equal Records
Elston Howard and Bobby Richardson each equalled a
world series record by collecting two hits during the Yankees'
sixth-inning uprising.
' The seven runs in the sixth represented the biggest scor
ing inning since the 1936 classic. The Yankees scored seven
runs in the ninth innig of the sixth and final game of that
series against the Giants. ,
In all, the Yankees collected 19 hits and the Pirates 13
break the old record of 29 hits for a single game by both
clubs. i
Mantle drove in- a total of five runs to equal another
series record held by Tony Lazerri,' Bill Dickey and Ted
Kluszewskl. . "
Bob Turley, the Yankee s burly right-hander, coasted to
the fourth World Series victory of his career . behind this
powerful support. .
A crowd of 37,308 at rain-dampened Forbes Field watch
ed the Yankees make a rout of the game in the sixth inning.

nounced the promotion of
Robert E. Smith, Brookings
as an engineer-designer with
the department's park divis
ion in Salem.
County Clerk E. M. Mad
den today outlined the procedure-
his office will take
concerning dog control in
Jackson county.
In a statement to the Mail
Tribune, the clerk said: The
following steps will govern
the dog control matter.
'1. On Oct. 6, 1960, publi
cation will begin on a notice
that dog control will be en
forced in Precinct 68A and
within the municipal bounda
ries of the city of Medford
and the city of Rogue River.
"2. Petitions for Precincts
28, 28A, 46A, 47A and 56B
will not appear on the ballot
These precincts are within
the municipal boundaries of
the city.flf Medford. With the
notice of enforcement, dog
control may be enforced with'
in the- city 6f Medford even
though the county-wide meas
ure may be defeated, 'mere-
fore, these petitions could
have no ultimate effect upon
the dog control situation with
in the city of Medford, since
the larger unit would control
the smaller.
"3. The ballot wording for
either the initiation or repeal
of dog control must be the
same as specified in OHb
609.050. The wording is as
follows: "For dogs running at
large-Yes." "For dogs running
at large-No." To initiate dog
control, vote No. To repeal
or defeat dog control, vote
Yes.
"4. There will be no nar
rative description on the bal
lot to explain the conse
quences of either vote since
the law does not provide for
such a description.
5. In Precincts 19, 21, 24,
27. 31, 57, 58B, 63, 65, 66,
74, 79, 81, 82, 83 and 88, dog
control will be voted on as

Rain Fails fo
Reduce Danger
Rain which fell in the' for
ests yesterday and this morn
ing was not sufficient to al
leviate the fire danger in this
area, state and federal for
estry officials said.
' It was just a little breath
er," a Rogue River National
forest spokesman declared.
Rainfall was not enough to
soak into the ground and just
gave the men in the woods
a day or two to breath just
a little easier."
The Rogue forest reported
rainfall spotty with .70 of an
inch in the Union Creek and
Prospect areas and with
measurements of .25 in the
Ashland and Applcgate dis
tricts, and .37 in the Butte
Falls district. State forest pa
trolmen reported .12 at the
headquarters on Table Rock
rd. and .47 at Prospect.
Southwest district of the
state department of forestry
said rain fell most everywhere
in its area but not enough to
appreciably diminish the fire
danger. The forestry office
reported fire danger still high
and warned of the hazard that
could be caused by hunter
campfires built in cold early
morning hours.
Medford station of the U.S.
weather bureau, located at
the airport, recorded .11 of an
inch of precipitation up to 10
a.m. today.
