Communist
Leaders Open
Summit Meeting
Secrecy Shrouds
Gathering of Heads
Moscow - OTB - Leaders of
the Communist world were re
ported starting a week long
summit meeting today.
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.

A case involving taxing of

covering grazing restrictions,

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.

Due to the fact that the
