Congressman Asked for Divorce New York-IUPD-Jazz pianist Hazel Scott wants a divorce from Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, (D-N.y.). Miss Scott said Thursday she has asked the congress man for a divorce but that he has refused to pay the costs o one and what she con siders "adequate support" for her son, Adam Clayton Powell III, 14. She said that unless an agreement could be reached on these points "there just will be no divorce be cause I am not about to pay for it." Powell, 51, campaigning in Detroit for the Democratic presidential ticket, released a statement in which he said he was paying tuition-and board for his son at a private school and that he regretted his estranged wife had made the statement concerning a di vorce "at this time." Downing, who had been in jured in an automobile ac cident, was married to Geral dine D'Andrea as he lay on a stretcher in a chapel at the Veterans' Administration hospital. Medford Tribune PAGES 1 to 8 MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1960 SECTION D Zone Change Requests Are Approved by Medford Council The Medford city council last night approved requests for two changes of zone In the city. The planning com mision had recommended that both requests be approved. One of the changes is at 2120 Table 'Rock rd. The council elected to change the property from Class 1A resi dential to Class II multiple- family. It was pointed out that adjacent property is already zoned for multiple-family and to change the zone there would be in line with a pre liminary land-use plan for the city. The second zone change was for three lots located be tween Cedar and Welch sts ATTENTION!

GREEN STAMPS Burk 314 EAST MAIN for all your awning needs SP 2-4472 adjacent to the railroad tracks. These lots were chang ed from Class IB single and two-family zone to Class VI heavy industrial. A report prepared for the council pointed out (hat much of the property in this area is already zoned heavy indus trial and a generalized land use plan suggests that much of the area along the railroad tracks be zoned heavy industrial. No opposition to the zone changes was voiced at public hearings on both requests last night. The council unanimously approved a proposal to con struct a 6-inch water main on Prune St., Park Place No. 5 and Alberts st. City Water Superintendent Robert Lee pointed out that although only 50.4 per cent of the property in this area was represented on a petition requesting the project, the project "is very definitely in the interest of the city." A request to change the name of a section of Crest brook rd. between Ellendale and Highland drs. to Green wood st. received approval of the council. The council granted a vari ance to set back requirements in order that a patio cover could be erected at 509 West 11th st. An amendment to the city's electrical code was approved requiring that the minimum size of service periscope con duits for electrical wires be two inches instead of 1V4 inches. '. City Manager Robert Duff pointed out that the amend ment will make the city's code somewhat more restric tive than the National Elec trical code, now followed by the city, but the change is necessary in order to conform to California Oregon Power company regulations. Projects Accepted Two completed projects were accepted by the council One is the paving of Summit ave. from Mary place to Clark st. The other is the installa tion of the Highland dr. storm sewer. A contract was awarded to M. C. Lininger and Sons to construct a sanitary sewer in the Crestview ' subdivision. Lininger and Sons had sub mitted the low bid of $7, 797.75. Assessment ordinances for the Niantic st. sanitary sewer and Stevens st. water main were approved. ' The council granted three requests for extension of con tract time on various projects in the city. One was a 25-day extension requested by the contractor paving Black Oak dr. The sec ond was a 24-day extension for paving Juanipcro Way and .the third was a 15-day extension for paving Niantic st. City Manager Duff said the reasons for requesting the ex tensions in all three cases ap peared to be legitimate, and he recommended that they be be approved. The council granted a re quest for a 45 - foot extra width driveway for Dumas Domestic laundry which is re building at 30 North River side ave. An extra-width driveway was also approved for a pro posed 50-unit Drew-Gibbs mo tel at the juncture of South Riverside and Central aves. The council agreed to spend $250 in city money to install a red-amber-green 'traffic sig nal at the intersection of Court st. with Edwards st. and Central ave. The new signal will replace a flashing red signal and it is hoped will relieve traffic movement prob lems at the intersection. The state highway department will pay the other half of the $500 cost. Duff indicated that plans for paving Benson st. may be presented to the council at its next meeting. He said the plans would provide for a 45 foot width. Some 55.6 per cent of the property to be benefited by the improvement is now represented on a peti tion, he said, not counting city property.
