EDWARD McGINTY I believe that all public of fices should be conducted in the best interest of the people. The surveyor's office has not been conducted in this man ner. It is for this reason that I have filed as the Democratic candidate for county sur veyor. The office of county sur veyor has been dominated by one man for over a third of a century. During his unop posed term, my opponent and his relatives have been depu ties in this office. Mr. Ryn ning, who formerly held the appointive position of county engineer and elective position of county surveyor, budgeted (Continued on Page 9A) David Greenglass, Spy Conspirator, Will Be Released Washington - IUPII - David Greenglass, brother of exe cuted atom, spy Ethel Rosen berg, will be released from prison Nov. 16, a Justice De partment official said today. Greenglass, 38, was sen tenced to 15 years in prison for conspiring with the Ros enbergs to steal atomic se crets for Russia. He is serving his time at ,the Lewisburg, Pa., federal penitentiary. As star witness in the fa mous spy case, Greenglass helped convict his sister and brother-in-law, Julius Rosen berg. The couple was electro cuted in 1953 for slipping atomic secrets to the Soviets. Greenglass was permitted to plead guilty to the lesser charge of conspiracy. He testi fied he gave a description of the A-bomb to Julius Rosen berg while working as a tech New Court Fight On Religion Seen Washington - IUPII - Anoth er dispute over religion in public schools is headed for a new round in the federal courts. The Supreme Court Monday "ordered further lower court proceedings in a case involv ing a 1959 Pennsylvania law which eliminated compulsory teachings in the state's public schools. The law was passed after a Unitarian couple challenged an older statute requiring the discharge of teachers who did not read at least 10 verses aloud to their students every day. Health Department To Seek Help of Mill Owners in Mosquito Control Program The Jackson county health department will seek the help of mill owners in keeping weeds and debris off ponds for better mosquito control, Chief Sanitarian Orie Moore said today. It is impossible to force the DDT spray under the weeds and debris on the log pond surface, according to George Runyan, sanitarian in charge of mosquito control. Keeping log decks on the edges of ponds and dropping logs in "by the bundle" also makes any effective mosquito control difficult, he said. Dusting by plane is not pos sible since the slightest breeze will cause the insecticide dust to drift onto nearby fields. This might affect animals such as dairy cows and beef ani mals or nearby crops, Moore explained. liCM ' S Hjr MARK E. BOYDEN Mark Boyden, 36, was born in the Rogue river valley, at tended the Medford public schools, served with the ar mored infantry in the Euro pean theater in World War II, graduated in civil engi neering from Oregon State college and resides in Med ford with his wife and two children. Since receiving his profes sional surveyor's license in 1951, Mark Boyden has gain ed an excellent reputation practicing exclusively in Jack son county. The county surveyor is cus todian of all official survey ing records, which are the ba (Continued on Page 9A) nical sergeant at the Atomic Research Center in Los Alamos,- N.M., in 1945. He started his prison sen tence on July 6, 1951. Under the law, the mandatory date for his release is May 1, 1961. But a Justice Department of ficial said he will be released Nov. 16 "because of credits for good behavior." As a parolee, Greenglass will be under official federal supervision until Nov. 5, 1956. He is a New Yorker. Youth Bound Over To Grand Jury James Leonard Stenerson, 19, of 2216 West Main st., Medford, was bound over to the grand jury this morning on charges of grand larceny. Stenerson was arraigned in district court on charges of helping steal about 400 pounds of dynamite and more than 1,000 dynamite caps. He was originally lodged in the county jail last week end on charges of burglary not m a dwelling. Three younger boys arrest ed in connection with the theft Saturday night were turned ove to county juvenile authorities. All four are ac cused of taking the explosives from the White City ammu nition dump last week. The Jackson county sher iff's office, state police and Medford city police all work ed on the case. Arrests came after the police were tipped off that one of the youths was seen with a dynamite cap. A lumber mill owner at Friday's air pollution control meeting said the county's spray machine was not effec tive on log ponds and suggest ed use of dusting planes. The sanitarians reported log ponds sprayed totalled 1,563 acres of approximately 4,000 pounds of DDT from June 13 to Sept. 23. Average applica tion was 2Vs pounds of DDT per acre, Runyan said. Ditches and roadside sumps treated totalled over 90,000 feet or more than 17 miles with more than 185 pounds of DDT. Pools of standing water treated amounted to over 50 acres with more than 35 pounds DDK total. 0 "Treatment applied to ditch es, sumps and poolsHvas usuallvKa one-time treQnent, remaining effective for the rest of the season" Runyan Move Claimed in Reprisal lor Embargo by U.S. 31 Categories Covered by Decree Havana, Cuba - IUP1I - The revolutionary government an nounced the seizure and forced expropriation today of 167 American companies apd firms in reprisal for the recently-imposed U.S. economic embargo against Cuba. There was no immediate of ficial estimate of the total value of the latest firms seized, but observers believed they were worth about $200 million. The decree virtually wipes out all important remaining American business interests in Cuba. "Ten days ago Castro killed capitalism with the seizure of 282 firms and today he has given it the coup de grace," one businessman said. Criminal Aggressions The decree charges that the U.S. givernment "continues to carry out each day more unscrupulous criminal aggres sions against the nation's (Cuba's) economy." The decree covers 31 cate gories of companies from flour mills to dry cleaning establishments. The decree was signed by Premier Fidel Castro and President Osvaldo Dorticos and specifically said the mea sure was imposed in response to the embargo imposed by Washington last week. The move came only 10 days after Castro's regime took over another 282 firms in a drive that now has put virtually all private busi nesses and industrial enter prises in government hands. i Among the 167 firms ex propriated today are many which have been under inter vention for the past several months. But among the new ones are Burrus Flour, Coca Cola, Canada Dry, F. W. Woolworth, Sears, Roebuck & Co., Gen eral Electric, Westinghouse Electric, Remington Rand and International Harvester. Reynolds Included The new ones also include the Reynolds Aluminum Co., and 30 insurance companies representing such firms as Pan American Life Insurance, Home Insurance Co., Hart ford Fire Insurance Co., Mary land Casualty Co. and the United States Life Insurance Co. There also were a number of supermarkets and drug houses seized. The seizures came in the middle of a massive campaign by the press, radio and gov ernment telling the Cuban people to prepare for a U.S. sponsored invasion. Plans Discussed To Get Voters To Polls Plans were completed last week by the Young Demo crats to get the voters to the polls Nov. 8. The project was discussed Friday at the meet ing of the club. Speaker at the meeting was Ed McGinty, Democratic can didate for county surveyor. WEATHER FORECAST: Increasing cloudi ness tonight. Showers Wednes day morntne.

The health department pur chased a machine in the last mosquito season which has 30 horsepower and puts out an initial wind velocity of 180 miles per hour. At 15 feet this drops to 10 to 15 miles per hour. The strong starting jet is necessary to break up the spray into fine penetrat ing particles, Moore explain ed. Moore added that his de partment is concerned over log pond mosquito control since one spraying will last only two weeks, while ,'in other spots it will last a season. This Is due to the log decks making it difficult to get equipment to the pond, and the debris on the pond surface, he said.

Skunk Almost Gets Best Of Police in Medford city police over the years have successfully matched wits with some vici ous criminals, but when they were called upon to get rid of a skunk Monday they al most had to admit defeat. Officer Bob Wright had been dispatched to the resi dence of Frank Dean Price, 1028 Mt. Pitt ave., on a com plaint that a skunk was mak ing a general nuisance of him self at that location. By the time Wright arrived the skunk had holed up in a wood pile behind the house and it took the combined ef forts of both Price and Wright to dislodge him. The two men had a hose trained on the woodpile when the skunk suddenly made his breaks Both men ducked for , . f ' Strongman's Plan Could Result in ilitary Clash Lumumba Claimed 'Legally' Deposed Lcopoldville, The Congo IUPD - Informed sources dis closed that United Nations forces have taken up positions along the Thysville-Leopold" ville highway today In an ef fort to prevent Congolese strongman Col. Joseph Mobu tu from bringing troop rein forcements into the capital. The sources said the U.N. forces are armed with heavy equipment including anti-tank guns. If Mobutu presses ahead with plans to bring the 30 vehicle armored brigade from Thysville, a military clash could result. Warning Issued :r Gen. I. Rikhye, special mili tary adviser to the U.N. forces, was reported to have) issued a strong warning to Mobutu not to try to bring in the elite armored brigade. Mobutu, whose grip over the Congo political situation has been slipping recently and whose Congolese army troops already in Leopoldville hava been rampaging in drunken violence in parts of the city. apparently planned to bolster his position with the armored force. The latest U.N. action seems to have been motivated by fears Mobutu wanted to use the armored brigade to put added pressure on the U.N. to push through his claims. Recoqnition Said Refused M()iutu repeatedly and bit terly has complained that tha U-. N. has refused to recognize) his regime and prevented him from arresting Lumumba. ' The U:N. officially is pledg ed to support the Lumumba government.. ' - Mobutu s council of h I gn commissioners announced ear lier in the day that it h a legally deposed Lumumba. And it warned that it might indict the U.N. before the In ternational Court of Justice at the Hague if the U.N. Tefus. i to recognize it as the Congo' only lawful authority. Four-Year-Old i.
