Nixon recommended annual

quota: pooling of national
quotas to permit reassign
ment of unused quotas; aband

the immigration quota base,
and special attention to immi

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

Mrs. Neuberger's
Costs Said Low
Portland - IUP1) - The cam
paign chairman of Democratic
senatorial candidate Maurine
Neuberger said Monday that
Mrs. Neuberger's political
campaign has been one of the
lowest in cost of any recent
Oregon election.
Allan Hart made the state
ment in answer to a demand
by representatives of Elmo
Smith's Republican senatorial
campaign committee that his
rival open her campaign books
to the public.
Hart, making public figures
from a financial report filed
two days ago with the secre
tary of the Senate in Washing
ton, D. C, said expenditures
on behalf of Mrs. Neuberger's
election totaled $72,108.56.
He compared it to Republi
can senatorial campaign ex

by the Douglas McKay com
mittee in 1956 and $141,263
listed by the Guy Gordon com
mittee in 1954.

$78,669 including a balance
of $8,209 left over from the
May primary election campaign.

Pulitzer Prize
Winner Succumbs
San Antonio. Tex.-UIPl'-Har-
old Lenoir Davis, 63-ycar-old
Oregon-born author who won
the Pullizcr prize with his
first novel, died Monday of a
heart atlack.
Davis won the Pulitzer prize
in 1936 for his novel "Honey
in the Horn." about the Paci
fic Northwest frontier.
Davis was born in Yonciil
la, in northern Douglas coun
ty, Ore., on Oct. 18, 1896. His
father, James and his mother,
the former Ruth Bridges, both
came from pioneer families
who had settled there.
Davis spent much of his
early life in The Dalles area,
where his father was a school
teacher and lived many years
near the town of Antelope.
without the gravel pit,
He also contended that the j
land has some value as a park I
site or as a subdivision site, i
The possibility that the land
might have value as a park
site had prompted several
councilmcn at a meeting two
weeks ago to vote to further
study the matter.
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.
Latham added that "the bene
fits we could derive would far
outweigh the differences be-
