Role of Mining Stressed by
Fourth District Candidates
The important role of the
mining industry . in the devel
opment of the fourth district
'. was stressed . by both candi
. dates for congress at a meet
ing of the Northwestern Min
ing Council in the Jackson
ville Community hall Thurs
day evening.
! Speaking to" more than 100
persons,1 Charles O. Porter,
Eugene Democrat seeking re
election, and Dr.' Edwin R.
Durno, Republican of Med
ford, discussed aspects of the
mining industry at the ses
sion, i i
In talks at the' start of the
meeting; which was . ended
with a question and answer
period, Porter cited statistics
of the district's mineral pro
duction and gave a geological
history of the area. ':
Dr. Durno endorsed .the pro-.
i gram and recommendations of
I the conference of governors
of the 11 western states' in. re-,
gard to the problems", of I liie
mining 'industry. ; ' 1
Two Major Pointi
' The two major points un
der fire during the question
and answer period were the
$35 per; ounce price of gold
and the elimination of surface
rights ion mining claims , by
federal; agencies. ,'.- ,
It was1 the consensus of the
audience who asked questions
that the present price ceiling
should! be removed from gold
so it could be traded on the
open market. It was also sug
gested that representatives of
the mining industry and fed
eral agencies' confer in regard
to logging controls on mining

Chamber Directors list
Measure Endorsements
', The' Medford Chamber, of
Commerce board of directors
Thursday unanimously en
dorsed six measures which
will appear on the November
general election ballot. .
The board ylit on support
of five other measures, and
unanimously expressed disap
proval on two others.
. ! No action was taken on the
daylight saving time proposal,
which also will appear on the
"ballot.
The action was taken after
the chamber's committee on
governmental operations pre
sented its recommendations
on the 14 issues. The commit
tee has taken into considera
tion the 15th measure on the
billot, one concerning bill
board control along highways.
Receiving unanimous ap-
trict. He mentioned that the
district's seven counties pro
duced -gold, silver, copper,
n i c ke 1, chromite, mercury,
lead, zinc, , tungsten, exotic
metals and non-metallic min
erals such as . sand, gravel,
clay and limestone.
Only Nickel Mine
He added that the only
nickel mine in the . United
States today is ' in Douglas
qounty at Riddle with an esti
inate'd ' value ' of production
last year of $14,500,000. I
Small; amounts of copper
have been produced- in Jose
phine 'county, he' said, and
added that plans have been
announced for open pit cop
per mining m Coos county
near Powers.
The , candidate , mentioned
the research work of the U.S.
bureau of mines laboratory
at Albany which was largely
due to corporations in the dis
trict producing exotic metals.
This industry; he added, holds
much promise for the future.
Porter ;concluded his talk
by stating his belief that the
district will play a substan
tial part -in supplying -minerals
in the future and that
it is essential that we contin
ue to pursue exploration and
research'. ' ' . " ! I
Dr. Durno also cited Hie
vast potential' of the 'unde
veloped mineral deposits in
the fourth district. At ine
start of his talk he stated
that most ; of those in the
room knew more about min
eralogy and the' problems of
the miners than he did; J
Basic Truths'
. He ' gave. ' four . "basic
truths"- about the mining in
dustry which included the
important role of the develop
ment' , and economy i of the
western states, the virtually
non-existent small miner and
explorer, that many medium
sized operations have become
liability - to their owners
and have shut down- and that
large mines have become mar
ginal i operations. --VO "
He said virtually, an ouu
mines or mining properties in
Jackson and Josephine coun
ty at : the present . time are
idle.' .
Durno said he would i en
courage the individual min
ers, explorers and prospect
ors to go back to exploring
and Drosoecting;, would cre
ate the incentive to mine gold
and other strategic metals;
would maintain the present
"derjletion allowance;" that
the country must, through im
port quotas or tariffs, protect
the domestic mining industry;
and would endorse the pro
gram and ' recommendations
of the conference of gover
nors of the 11 western states
proval were those measures
fixing commencement of leg
islators terms; authorizing
legislature to propose revised
constitution; state bonds for
higher education facilities:
voter, qualification amend
ment; financing improvements
in home rule counties; and

1 Receiving unanimous disap
proval were proposals to per
mit prosecution by informa
tion gar indictment and the
personal income tax bill, ..
at their meeting when prob
lems of the mining industry
were discussed.
Dr. Durno concluded that
on aspects of the subject of
which he was ndt fully in
formed he would follow the
advice of people who did
know what they were talking

Airport's Crowded
Conditions Will Be
Studied by City
City Manager Robert A.
Duff was directed by the city
council last night to Investi
gate reports of crowded con
ditions at Medford's munici
pal airport and submit .a re
port." ' -
The action came after the
council had approved . two
leases at the airport, one to
enlarge the facilities of an ex
isting tenant and the other
providing for a new tenant.
During discussion of the
leases. Brian Douglas, owner
of the Rogue' Flying Service
who made it clear that 'he
was not objecting to granting
of the leases said .that the
tie-down" (airplane parking)
facilities at the airport are
already overcrowded and t)y
granting new leases the coun
cil would increase the prob
lem. ; ; : i .
He suggested too that the
council investigate the setting
up of standards to be met by
new tenants in the construct
ion of-their buildings and op
eration of their business;
Already Some Standards .': i
Duff said there are already
some standards, but Douglas
said they are apparently not
being met.: . ! ,
The new lease was " ap
proved for Floyd Doland Jr.
to establish a package deliv
ery, charter service , and
flight instruction service . at
the airport. . . . ..
The expanded lease was ap
proved for Keldon Adams,
now a fixed base operator,
to permit him to sell aircraft
and to provide charter serv
ice and flying instructions..
Council approver was given
to a 10-year franchise for the
Pacific Telephone and Tele
graph ., company. Under the
aereement. which had been
under negotiation for the past
year and a half, the company
will pay the city an annual
rate of $19,500 or 2 per cent
of its gross local receipts,
whichever is largest. '
Councilman R. L.Van Sick
le objected to the franchise
as written, and wanted it to
extend for only a five-year
period. ' :' ' '
; The council deferred action
on a petition requesting the
partial, paving of Benson st.
from Prune to Dakota sts,
after a spokesman for some
property owners in the area
voiced - objection to the pro
posal on the grounds it did
not provide for curbs and gut

As Peace Menace
Revolt Against
Peiping Predicted
United Nations. N.Y.-dPC-:
Premier Nlkita Khrushchev
said today Russia would up
hold its rights outside the
United Nations "by means
of force" if Secretary Gen
eral Dag Hammarskjold is
not replaced by a three-man
presidium.
United Nations, N.Y. (UPD
Nationalist Chinese Ambassa
dor Tingfu F.,Tsiang said to
day the Chinese Communist
regime is the, greatest menace
to peace In the world and pre
dicted that mainland China
will revolt against the Peiping
authorities.
He called the Soviet Union
the greatest colonial power of
the 20th century and said the
Soviet type of imperialism is
the worst of all.
Delegations Walk Out
As Tsiang began to talk, the
Soviet and other Communist
delegations walked out of the
assembly hall. Tsiang, who
customarily delivers' his
speech in English, took the
usual step today of addressing
the assembly in Chinese. -
Tsiang spoke as the Ameri
can and Soviet delegates ma
neuvered behind the scenes
for support in Russian efforts
to seat Red China and Ameri
can efforts to -block it for
another year. The United
States was expected to win
this struggle but by the closest
vote yet. - .-
. "The Chinese Communist
regime is- dedicated to the
'historical mission' of bringing
all Asia under Communist
domination," Tsiang said; "Re
cently, it has extended .its
nefarious-; activities beyond
Asia to Africa and Latin
America. It is the greatest
menace to international peace
and security.
Predicts Revolt Coming '
.' '-There is a boiling, seeth
ing and ultimately irrepressi
ble mass of resentment among
the suffering' people. Eleven
years of unlimited propa
ganda and unlimited indoc
trination have failed to recon
cile the peoples of the regime.
The day will, surely come
when they will rise in revolt
against their oppressors '. ' . .
We Chinese will yet see the
day of national liberation."
Tsiang denounced Premier
Nlkita Khrushchev's "sland
erous and abusive" attack on
Dag Hammarskjold and said
he sought through his plan to
replace the secretary-general
with a three-man presidium to
make the United Nations a
tool of the Soviet Union.

Kennedy turned the attack
around Thursday, declaring

DA Gives Opinion
On Solicitations !
Jackson County District
Attorney Thomas J. Reeder
said ' today that- deceit: or
fraud: used to Induce a per
son to register or refrain from
registering to vote would be
considered a corrupt practice
under state law. .-
In an opinion to County
Clerk E. M. Madden, ecder
said: "It' is my opinion that
if any person engages In any
deceit or fraud to induce a
person to register or refrain
from registering as a voter of
this state, he would be guilty
of a , corrupt practice . under
ORS ' 260.300. Any person
making a telephone . call
should either identify him
self by his corect name or as
a member of a genuine organ
ization, seeking to persuade
people to. register or to vote.1
' The vice is not In the par
tisanship of the solicitation.
The vice under the law Is di
rected to any subterfuge or
deceit used to induce people
to register or to vote. It is
perfectly proper for Demo
crats to seek to obtain mem
bers of the Democratic party
to register to vote,, and it is
equally proper for the" Repub
lican party to do the same, as
long as the persons doing the
solicitation do not engage in
any deceit or sugterfuge."

Bureau Report
Clears Way for .
Legislation
Bureau of Budget
Has No Objection
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent ,
Washington -(Special- The)
proposed Agate dam, a key
project In the overall Rogus
River ' Basin irrigation de
velopment plan, was declared
today to be a feasible engi
neering undertaking by tho
bureau of reclamation. - i. .
In forwarding to congress a
feasibility report on Agate,
the bureau in effect cleared!
the way for legislation which.
Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-
Ore.) has said he will Intro
duce in the coming session of
congress to authorize con
struction and financing of the
project.
Report Reviewed .
Appropriate state and fed
eral agencies have reviewed
the bureau s report. The bu
reau of the budget earlier this
week expressed no objection -to
Its submission, to congress.
The state of Oregon urged
construction "as early as pos
sible." .
Agate dam would be lo
cated on' Dry creek northwest
of Medford; It would store
sufficient water to irrigate
1810 acres of arid land in the
Rogue River valley irrigation
district. In addition, a small
amount of water would also
become available to supple
ment, present supplies for
4820 acres.
The project Involves Agate
dam on Dry creek, a diversion
dam on Antelope creek, plus
diversion and feeder canals.
Water from Agate reservoir,
would be diverted Into exist
ing Hopkins canal for deliv
ery to farmers through the "
district's irrigation system;
Investment of $1,802,000 '
The report estimated the
federal Investment in these '
facilities would be $1,802,000,
using January, 1959, prices.
Of this, $27 ,100 would cover
cost- of a fish ladder and
screen ' to ' protect migratory
species -of fish in Dry creek.
I' Recreation ; facilities
eceauon , acuities In ' the
iclhlty would also be de
veloped with $20,080. The bal
ance, $1,754,900, covers irrl- -gation
facilities and is to be
repaid to the -United States
treasury, by local water users
over a 50-year period, ass urn-1
ins1 congress sets the custom
ary, requirements in '.this re- '
spect. "- . '
The. declaration of feasibili
ty takes into account- the an
ticipated . benefits . compared
with costs. The benefit - cost
ratio over 50 years would be
2.76 to 1, the report stated, an '
unusually high ratio for such
projects. 1
Will Diversify Agriculture '
' The report to congress said
this new water supply would
permit farmers in the area to
diversify agriculture in the
Medford area by - devoting
more land to Irrigated pasture
grass-and hay for dairy and
beef herds.
. Today's development brings
the project one step closer to
reality. The . remaining steps
are for congress to. take-first
to pass an authorization bill,
and then to follow with appro
priations that will permit con- ,
structlon . to begin. It Is un
