Kyle, Manager ent recommendation of Presi dent Eisenhower. Nixon recommended annual admission of 308,000 immi grants, double the present quota: pooling of national quotas to permit reassign ment of unused quotas; aband onment of the 1920 census as the immigration quota base, and special attention to immi gration of relatives of Ameri can citizens. Attacks Spending Plans Nixon renewed his attack on the economic ideas and government spending plans of his Democratic opponent in remarks prepared for Lancaster. "Of all Mr. Kennedy's ; never-never economic ideas," the vice president said, "none is more fuzzy than his claim that everything he proposes can be paid for by new rev enues derived from expanding the economy and increasing efficiency in government, and not by new and heavier taxes or by deficit spending and in flation." Cost Claim Repeated Nixon repeated his claim that Kennedy's programs would cost the taxpayers an additional $13 billion annual ly. "The plain truth is that there are only two ways to pay for this huge spending program of his - new taxes or new and ever larger deficits," Nixon said. "I challenge him to say which it will be."

Medford City Council Fill Dirt Sale Causes Some Controversy Among Officials tween the city and state high way department." Councilman Stanley Stark said the site is "pretty much valueless" as it stands now, and the money that the city will get for it and the level ing that the state has agreed to do "will put it in better shape for some future use." (Continued from Page 1) The only one of the three matters on last night's council agenda that caused any con troversy was the sale of fill dirt from a site near the air port. It was finally approved by the council by a G to 2 vole with Councilman Ed Hall and R. L. Van Sickle voting against it. Under the agreement the city would permit the slate to take a maximum of 300,000 cubic yards of fill dirt from city hind along Bullock rd. near the airport. In turn the state would pay the city S15, 000, or five cents per cubic yard, and level the area when excavation is completed. Several members of the chamber of commerce, headed by Chet Hubbard, chairman of the chamber's highway committee, were at the meet ing to urge the council to ap prove the agreement. Stan Junes, Medford lawyer and ex-city councilman, spoke in opposition. He said the five cents per cubic yard of dirt that the state will pay the city is not enough. This same dirt, he contend ed, would soli for from 15 to 20 cents per yard in the spring when there is a demand for it. Whether or not the council sells them (the state) a gravel pit in a multi-million dollar project will make no differ ence," he said. Jones added thai the highway would be built on schedule with or Sewell Avery of Mail Firm Dies Chicago lUPl) Sewcll L.

It was pointed out at that meeting that use of the area as a "barrow-pit" will require the removal of from 70 to 100 trees, mostly oak trees. The site had also been designated by the city's planning coin mission as a potential park site. Employment Need Cited Bert Thierolf, representing the chamber, said that with the completion of the Talent project and curtailment of the lumber industry, there is a need for additional sources of employment in the area. Thierolf said the freeway construction would provide these jobs and added "if there was ever a time in the his tory of the community that we should do something to lift up employment in the commun ity - now is the time." Frank Bash, also represent ing the chamber, said several new industries that would like to locate here are waiting for construction of the freeway. Chamber President Gerald T.
