I believe that all public of

the best interest of the people.
The surveyor's office has not
been conducted in this man

have filed as the Democratic

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

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

helped convict his sister and
brother-in-law, Julius Rosen
berg. The couple was electro

atomic secrets to the Soviets.
Greenglass was permitted
to plead guilty to the lesser
charge of conspiracy. He testi

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.

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.

said. "In most cases such
areas had to be sprayed with
hand equipment.
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.

Farmers' Problems
Need Recognition,
Gov. Williams Says
It Is high time that we
recognize problems facing
America's farmers," Michigan
Gov; G. Mennen Williams told
a gathering of about 60 peo
ple at a coffee hour held in
the Medford hotel Monday
afternoon.
"This administration has
driven thousands off their
farms and threatens to make
the family farmer a museum
piece," the Michigan Demo
crat said.
"We must recognize that
farms can survive without our
cities, however, cities can nev
er survive without our
farms," the Michigan goernor
continued. v
Blames Benson
Williams blamed Agriculture
Secretary Ezra Taft Benson
for what he termed "the di
lemma of today's farmers."
"I promise that if John F.
Kennedy is elected, he will
be concerned with farm prob
lems," Williams said.
Democratic Congresswoman
Edith Green preceded Wil
liams in addressing the gath
ering. She called this one of
the most critical elections in
history. "I don't know how
we can afford to go through
another 7'fc years of drift and
complacency," Mrs. Green
said.
Mrs. Green gave particular
attention to domestic food
surplusscs existing. She men
tioned that there is a $9.5
billion food surplus today.
"However, there was only a
$2.5 billion surplus in 1952,"
she pointed out.
"The Democratic Congress
appropriated $250 million to
be spent supplementing food
supplies of low income fam
ilies with inadequate diets,"
Mrs. Green said. "However,
Eisenhower and Nixon never
expended the money," she
claimed'.

Skunk Almost Gets Best
Of Police in
Medford city police
over
the years have successfully
matched wits with some vici

were called upon to get rid
of a skunk Monday they al

Officer Bob Wright had
been dispatched to the resi

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.

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

And it warned that it might
