Hearing on Zoning
For Sams Valley
Area Is Planned
A public hearing on pro
posed ; zoning for the Sams
Valley area will 'be called
some time in November, the
Jackson county planning com
mission said last night.
Petitions have been pre
sented by area residents re
questing zoning, primarily for
agriculture and residential
purposes. The planning com
mission also has agreed to
provide for classification of
existing commercial and in
dustrial buildings within the
zoning.
The planning commission
also agreed to postpone con
sideration of a White City
building code until the pro
posed county building code is
established. Planning com
mission members were direct
ed to study the county code,
and make recommendations
at the Nov. 9 meeting. The
commission discussed possible
creation of an agriculture
zone, but took no action.
Code Enforcement
Following recommendation
by the planning commission;
the county court would be
charged with putting the
building code in effect fol
lowing a possible public hear
ing. The commission general
ly agreed that the code en
forcement should support it
posals. However, when pro
posal eight was reached, au
thorizing bonds for state
building programs, two diver
gent opinions became evident.
The proposal would permit
issuance of state bonds for
construction of buildings for
state institutions, office build
ings and higher educational
facilities. Duncan, who is
speaker of the house of repre
sentatives, explained the pro
posal and said it was needed
to meet Oregon's growing
needs. '
Deljnback disagreed with
the bonding plan. "It would
destroy the pay - as -you - go
policy Oregon has always had
in financing state institu
tions," he said. He termed
the bonding program as a
dangerous method to use in
financing state facilities.
The candidates also dis-
agreed on ballot proposal 14,

self through collection of
building fees and not through
tax money. Unless well-qualified
personnel make thorough
building inspections, the code
would be worthless to proper
county development, mem
bers emphasized.
However, members of the
building code committee con
sisting of Bill Duggan, Gerald
Latham and Victor Birdseye
could not agree on whether
the uniform building code or
the national building code
should be adopted. The uni
form building code requires
inspectors with technical con
struction knowledge to en
force it, whereas the other
does not, it was explained.
Some members of the com
mission felt that the building
code should apply to the en
tire county, and not just to
the more populated valley
floor. Duggan opposed the
all-county proposal saying
people who cannot afford to
build first class residences
should not be forced to do so
if they would build "up in
the hills."
Latham said a county-wide
building coed would not pre
vent construction of log
cabins. Duggan replied that a
code would require concrete
foundation which is hard to
have in the hills.
lowering the state personal
income tax while eliminating
federal income tax deductions
now allowed. In explaining
the bill, Duncan said that it
would bring In more revenue
from the personal income tax.
"We need the increased reve
nue the tax will bring," Dun
can said. He pointed out that
by 1961 the demands for new
state programs and added fa
cilities will have outgrown
current revenues.
Dellenback was strongly op
posed to the proposal, label
ing it "piece meal tax legis
lation." He claimed that the
state treasury is going to have
a large fund surplus left over
from tax income this year.
"The proposal will increase
the tax surplus In future
years," Dellenback said. "Sur
pluses lead to reckless gov
ernment financial policies,"
he added.

Thornton Hurls
To Gov. Haifielil
Salem - (UPI) - Attorney Gen
eral. Robert Y. Thornton to
day challenged Gov. Mark
Hatfield to a public debate
over what Thornton describes
as "irresponsible charges"
against Thornton by the gov
ernor. , .
Hatfield said he was not
interested.
Thornton, a Democrat seek
ing reelection, said "for the
past several weeks you have
been carrying on a systematic
smear campaign in every
corner of the state against
Democratic candidates,
against the attorney general's
office and against me per
sonally." '
Gymnastics Disgusting
"I am not running for at
torney general," Hatfield said,
"but I am sure Sen. Carl Fran
cis, who is, would welcome
the opportunity to discuss the
incumbent's record in a face-to-face
debate."
"It is disgustingj" Hatfield
added, "to watch the attorney
general's verbal gymnastics as
he tries to transfer the blame
for his political finagling to
his fine staff. This grand
stand play is an attempt to
divert attention from his
miserable record but it will
not fool the voters come Nov.
8."
Campaigns for Francis
Hatfield has been campaign
ing for Francis, a state sen
ator from Dayton. "
Thornton's challenge to Hat
field was in the form of a
letter saying the, debate
should be held at the "earliest
possible date."
Hatfield has criticized
Thornton's legal opinions, and
since he became governor has
refused to use Thornton as his
legal counsel. Hatfield hired
an attorney of his own choice
to do the work, and added
him to his staff. -

day. Deadline for tax payment

County Assessor Ray Schu

MAZEROSKI'S
BLOW BRINGS
10-9 VICTORY
Pittsburgh -WPD- The Pitts
burgh Pirates won their first
World Series in 35 years to
day when they defeated the
New ork ankces, 10-9, in the
seventh and deciding game on
Bill Mazeroski's ninth-inning
home run.
Mazeroski's home run on
the first pitch thrown by
right-hander Ralph Terry cli
maxed one of the most dra
matic, games in World Series
history.
A three-run homer by catch
er Hal Smith of Pittsburgh
highlighted a five-run eighth
inning rally which had given
the Pirates a 9-7 lead before
a crowd of 36,683 at Forbes
Field. .
Yankees Rally
However, the Yankees ral
lied to tie the score at 9-9 in
the top of the ninth on singles
by Bobby Richardson, pinch
hitter Dale Long and Mickey
Mantle and Yogi Berra's in
field out. ,
Mazeroski then decided
matters in the last of the
ninth w tihone swing of his
bat.
This was Pittsburgh's first
world baseball championship
since 1925 when the Pirates
beat the Washington Senators
in seven games.
The defeat ruined Yankee
Manager Casey Stengel's
hopes of winning a record
eighth World Series in what
probably is his final season
in baseball.
Overcame Deficit
Before the pirates rallied
in the eighth, the Yankees
overcame a three-run deficit
to go ahead 5-4 on Yogi Ber
ra's three-run homer in the
sixth. They added two more
runs . off Pittsburgh reliever
Elroy Face in the top of the
eighth and appeared headed
for victory behind little Bob
by Shantz' brilliant relief
pitching. .
Harvey Haddix, the little
left-hander who was the Pi
rates' fourth pitcher in the
game, was credited with the
victory. Haddix came to the
relief of Bob Friend, who took
up the Pittsburgh pitching in
the ninth but ran into trouble.

Medford Man Killed
In Logging Mishap
Yreka - A 63-year-old Med
ford man, Ernest C. Berry,
was killed Wednesday in a
logging accident about 18
miles west of here on McKin
ncy creek.
The Siskiyou County Sher
iff's office said Berry was
setting a choker on a log
when it apparently rolled
over on him and crushed him.
Deputies said Berry was dead
on arrival at the Siskiyou
County General hospital.
Berry, who resided at route
4, box 410, Medford, was
working for his son-in-law,
John W. Bratton', also of Med
ford, when the accident oc
curred, deputies said.
The body will be transferred
to Siskiyou Funeral Directors,
Medford, for services.
Accident Victim
Dies in Yreka
Yreka John William Jer
ry, Ft. Jones, died in Siskiyou
General hospital yesterday of
injuries received in an acci
dent last Sunday on the Ft.
Jones mountain road.
He was a passenger in
car driven by Alfred Amos
Albcrs, Hornbrook, who was
killed almost immediately.
The car in which the men
were riding rolled over sev
eral times along the south side
of a mountain road. Marks
and debris from the car were
visible about 235 feet in the
dirt along the road, California
highway patrolmen said.

0. H. Bengtson Is
Found Guilty in
Embezzlement Case
A Jackson county circuit
court Jury last night unani
mously declared O. H. Bengt
son, Medford lawyer, guilty
of larceny by embezzlement.
The jury of seven men and
five women were out approxi
mately three hours.
Circuit Judge Orval Mil
lard, Grants Pass, is expected
to pronounce sentence Mon
day. Maximum penalty . for
such a conviction is 10 years
in the. Oregon State peniten
tiary. .
Robert Boyer, Medford law
yer defending Bengtson, said
last night that he and -Attor
o would, appeal the case to the
H Rthri. nrtrfm i-nur-r if npr.9.
sary . However, he indicated
that other legal steps woiud
be tried first:. , ;:,,
Wart Now Motion -
Bengtson's attorneys plan
to file a motion in arrested
judgment and a motion of a
new trial on the grounds that
insufficient evidence was pre
sented to justify the verdict
and because of errors- occur
ring at. the trial, they reported
today. -
Benglson, his wife, and two
of the Medford lawyer's form
er secretaries, became . emo
tionally upset upon hearing
the verdict and had to be
helped out of the courtroom.
At mid-afternoon yesterday
It appeared as if the charges
might be dismissed following
motion by Carney, Bengtson's
attorney. .However, after a
brief recess Judge Millard de
nied the motion.
Carnev later moved for-a
directed verdict on the same
grounds,' but motion was de
nied. It Is not a true case of
embezzlement, Carney con
tended. If Bengtson is guilty
then Rachel Peterson Carter,
secretary and alleged presi
dent of Medford Escrow com
pany is guilty as an accom
plice in the same charge,
Carney Insisted. Her testl?
mony has not been corrobor
ated. . '. '
Before the case went to
trial, charges that Mrs. Car
ter was also guilty of em
bezzling $3,701.14 from the
company were set aside. Mrs.
Carter Is now charged with
embezzling $224 from the
company, according to a later
indictment. No trial dato has
been set. She has pleaded In
nocent to the charges. . ,
Failure to Prove
Carney declared that Depu
ty District Attorneys Gerald
Scanncll and Brian Mullen
failed to prove that Bengtson
diverted the money from a
trust fund. It might be lar
ceny, but not embezzlement,
he said.
"Evidence shows that Mrs.
Carter authorized the loan
made to Bengtson," Carney
declared. "It was authorized
by the Medford Escrow corpo
ration." .
Testimony revealed that
Mrs. Helen McGray told Mrs.
Carter that she would leave
some $3,300 with the escrow
company "to be invested in a
contract or mortgage."
However, there is no evi
dence to show Bengtson knew
what was said between the
two women, Carney pointed
out. The judge interjected
that no evidence shows there
ever was a contract or morU
gage put up by Bengtson.
Points Out Aspects
Evidence also indicates
there was no subterfuge, no
wrongful conversion of money
and no unlawful taking, Car-
-fib :
ney said. The whole transac
tion was done openly. Also,
me Item was not really In
escrow, not in trust but in
bailment, he pointed out.
In summing up his case.
Mullen stated that Mrs. Mc
Gray had left only $3,500 with
the Escrow company. So,
more money was taken than
was available for the loan. (It
was used to pay oft part of a
$5,000 personal obligation tary.; w-: . , ., , '
