There was no public an nouncement and the arrange ments were shrouded in se crecy but reliable sources said a major aim will be to draft a document saying the Com munist nations, including Red China, are united under Mos cow's leadership. There was no indication what specific items would be on the agenda but it seemed certain the election of John F. Kennedy as president of the United States would com mand some attention. Soviet Premier Nikila S. Khrushchev cabled his con gratulations to Kennedy Wed nesday, urging him to follow in the footsteps of Franklin D. Roosevelt on international cooperation. The Soviet press and radio pounced on the defeat of Vice President Richard M. Nixon as justification of prev ious Red denunciations of the Eisenhower administration. Communist leaders on hand for the celebration of the 43rd anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution took all this in before the start of the summit meeting. The two main figures in Moscow arc Khrushchev and Communist Chinese Chairman president Liu Shao-chi. Com munist China's top man, Mao Tse-tung, did not come but he sent a message Monday ac knowledging Soviet leader ship of the Communist world. Observers said this would enable the Communist leaders to draft a pledge of solidarity that would help heal the ideological rift between the Soviet Union and Communist China. Lake Project Is Topic of Meeting A discussion of the Emi grant Lake project was the main topic of business at the Wednesday evening session of the Jackson county planning commission. The group recommended that the county sanitarian check the land near the lake to see if it is suitable for sep tic tanks and to check for a drinking water supply. It was also recommended that the residents near the lake be contacted regarding possible zoning in the area. zona and California and other major government range states. A case involving taxing of leases held by ranches on pub lic domain land is now before the state supreme court after being appealed from Baker county. Cattlemen of this state have also worked out an adjustment period with the bureau of land management covering grazing restrictions, Magruder said. - , Mir M 'All IM'9 I -r I'- Ore., president of the Oregon Cattlemen's association; Armin Richter, Jacksonville, chairman of the convention; Jack Rcid, Lake Creek, president of the Jackson County Stockmen's association and Joe Moore, man ager of the First National Bank. Precau tions have been taken to make sure the bull doesn't mistake any of the "long green" for hay, Moore said. Unemployed Figure Reaches 3.6 Washington -IUPD- The num ber of unemployed reached 3.6 million in October, in creasing 200,000 from the pre vious month and hitting the highest rate since the 1958 re cession, the Labor Department reported today. The new figures pushed the jobless rate-the proportion of unemployed to the total work Regional Edition Medford 40 Pages Second Bat Found Here With Rabies A second bat found in Jack son county recently has been diagnosed as having rabies by the state board of health, Dr. A. Erin Merkel, county health officer, said today. The bat was found on the school ground at the Central Point Junior High school Oct. 28. The state board of health laboratory notified Dr. Merkel of its findings Wednesday aft ernoon. Dr. Merkel said that the bat was found by some children who took it to their class room. School authorities noti fied the health department here. He said that when the bat was found it was either dead or nearly dead. It is the understanding of the health department that no children were bitten. However, the doctor stress ed, rabies may be contacted by a person who handles an infected animal if its saliva gels into a break in the skin of the handler. There is no indication for real alarm at this time, Dr. Merkel said, but added that the health department is fully aware of the future possibility of this area becoming rabies infected. Animal Caused Bites Parents should check their children for any marks which look animal caused, Dr. Mer kel said. The only way rabies mav be gotten, he said, is through an open wound. When persons encounter bats out in the open this time of year chances arc the bat is not normal, Dr. Merkel said, since bats generally hibernate this time of year. It is believed by some au thorities, the doctor added, that because rabies is a brain infection this might make enough change in a normally hibernating animal so it will not go into liberation. The doctor cautioned that children should be especially &taie cattlemen insist on multiple use of national for ests, which would include grazing, in line with BLM policies, and more equitable freight rates for shipment of beef are also being fought for by the cattlemen, Magruder said in his opening remarks. The state's cattlemen so far have successfully fought down any government attempts at imposing controls on their commodity, and are fighting to keep the government out of the cattle business, he said. The OCA was able to insist successfully that the state de partment of agriculture's vet erinarian section be super vised by the department of animal industry, the president noted. Working with the state department of agriculture the OCA was able to have the California embargo against Oregon feeder stock removed when an animal disease prob lem caused the embargo to be set. In presenting his annual re port, Cecil L. Edwards, Princ ville. OCA secretary, also mentioned the association's need for more money.

An unemployment rate of 6 per cent is used by the La bor Department as the yard stick to determine whether an area is economically "de MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1960 warned that if they encounter bats not to pick them up or play with them, but notify the health department or po lice authorities. Due to the fact that the county is known to have ra bies, there is always the pos sibility of it spreading to do mestic animals. Dr. Merkel said that precautions' should be taken so that dogs and cats should not roam at large and they should have preven tive snots.
