The Shangri La and four of the destroyers were reported to be steaming in an area off the southern part of Cuba. The fifth Kennedy, Dulles Air Problems Possible Threat Of Communist Attack Discussed Palm' Beach, Fla. - IUPD -President-elect John F. Ken nedy conferred with Central Intelligence Agency chief Al len W. Dulles nearly three hours today on global prob lems including the possible threat of a Communist-led at Kennedy's acting press see retary, Donald M. Wilson, told newsmen after the two hour and 40 minute meeting that the next president and the CIA chief "discussed a wide range of matters" including tension in the Caribbean area. Comment Declined Wilson said Kennedy would decline to comment on Presi dent Eisenhower's having rushed U.S. Navy units to the area in response to appeals from Guatemala and Nica ragua for help in defending against a feared "Communist directed" attack from Fidel Castro's Cuba. "Senator Kennedy feels it's improper for him to discuss actions of policies of the United States government at this time because he has no responsibility until he assumes office inauguration day," Wil son said. "That is going to be his policy on all such matters between now and inaugura tion day (next Jan. 20)." Wilson announced that when Kennedy returns to Washington next Wednesday to spend Thanksgiving with his wife and child, he also will meet with AFL-CIO Pres ident George Meany to discuss unemployment problems. High Tide, Winds Damage Coast Area . Cannon Beach-UPO-A high tide and a gusty westerly wind sent huge waves ashore shortly before noon here to day; damaging a home and caving in a seawall.

Gable To Be Entombed Beside Carole Lombard Hollywood-ftlPD-Clark Gable will be entombed in a crpyt besidq one containing the re mains of his great love of nearly two decades ago, Carole Lombard, his third wife. United Press International learned today that entomb ment at Forest Lawn Me morial Park will not take place Saturday immediately after private funeral services for the fabulously successful actor. Separate Service A separate entombment service will be held at some later time as a precaution against causing too much strain on Gable's fifth wife, Kay, 42, who is expecting his first child in March. Mrs. Gable, who suffers Charter Government Discussed at Clinic For County Officers County home rule charter committees should learn first what functions the county performs now and decide what functions it will serve in the future, according to Bernard F.- Hillenbrand, executive di rector, National Association of County Officials. ;TTfour speeches during the coun ty charter clinic held as part of the Association ot Oregon Counties' 65th annual conven tion in ' Portland . Tuesday through today. ... "One basic weakness of county government is that it tends to be government by committee without executive leadership," Hillenbrand pointed out. "You need execu tive leadership at the county level.' In the cities municipal committees largely have been abandoned." ; Function of Leadership The authority on local gov ernment explained that func tions of county executive leadership are to make laws, administer them, and some times even assume judicial responsibility. Hillenbrand said he prefers elected executives for larger counties. Such a county head would provide the political leadership, piaintain the tra ditional checks and balances in local government, as a long time resident of the communi ty be more likely to under stand . its problems, and be cause of his closeness with the community be more likely to have its backing in local gov ernment programs. Points against an elected executive are that an effec tive administration is needed more than political leader ship, and political popularity does not always insure ability. City Manager Plant Hillenbrand noted that of 17,000 U. S. municipalities, 1,700 have city manager plans. The city managers are subject to control by the council and subject to removal at any time by the council. Of 3,039 U. S. counties, 17 have adopted the; county manager system. The NACO director noted trends in county administra- from a heart ailment, gave her permission for the en tombment beside Miss Lom bard. A third crypt, bought several years ago and located beside Gable's, someday will contain Kay's body. Miss Lombard died in a plane crash in 1942 alter three years of marriage with Gable. Their romance at the time was considered one of Filmland's most idyllic. Bought Same Time Gable bought the crypt his body will occupy at the same time he bought the one for Miss Lombard. He purchased a third for Kay shortly alter they were wed In 1955. Services Saturday at 9 a.m., (PST), will be at the Church of Recessional In Forest Lawn, and probably will last less than one hour. destroyer was refueling at Panama and was assigned to patrol along the east coast of the two Central American countries.

Most persistent trend is a broadening of coun ty functions, he said. Counties in recent years have estab lished crime laboratories, cen tral micro - filming systems, penitentiaries which serve as many as 11 counties by con tract and extensive sanitation departments. William Siegel, assistant county counsel, Santa Clara county, Calif., said home rule charters are not necessary if the state legislature has grant ed counties broad powers and if the counties use these pow ers as in California.

Regional Edition Medford 18 Pages Court Studies Appea To Malt Integration School Board at New Orleans Sees End of Operation Pro-Segregationists Overflow Courtroom New Orlcans-A three-man federal court took under ad visement today appeals for halting integration in New Orleans including a warning from the school board the city was reaching the point where it would be unable to operate the city's public educational system. The court battle came as three of the four Negro girls put in first grade classes last Monday found themselves with a building and teachers all to themselves. Whiles Absent No white children showed up today among the usual 46? attending McDonogh Grade School and only four whites with the one 6-year-old Ne gro girl at William Frantz which ordinarily has more than 500. A pro-segregation crowd overspilled the federal court room into the lobby of the Post Office Building as the state of Louisiana demanded a reversal of integration and the school board pleaded for a temporary halt because it was caught in between. It was to be the last school day for at least a week. The entire New Orleans system was ordered by the school board to be closed next Mon day to Friday for teachers' meetings and the Thanksgiv ing holiday. But attention today switched to a three-man fed eral court headed by U.S. Dis trict Court Judge J. Skelly Wright who originally ordered integration in New Orleans. Gravely concerned by flare- ups of violence around the two integrated schools and throughout the city, the local school board asked the court to grant temporary permission to end integration until the U.S. Supreme Court settles the "entanglement" between the state and federal govern ments.

Annexation By Duff at Meeting Medford City Manager Rob ert A. Duff said yesterday on his return from the League of Oregon Cities convention In Salem that Medford's experi ence with anncxtatlon is prob ably one of the most "out standing" In the stute. Duff, who was honored at the convention for his 35 years of service to municipal government, delivered a talk on annexation at a general session of the four-day confer ence. The only other city that has had as much success with an nexation as Medford, Duff said, is Springfield. Compelling Reason Duff said he believes that the success or failure of an nexation policies depends on whether or not there Is a compelling reason" for out lying areas to want to annex to cities. s Water and sewage problems are the compelling reasons fori Eisenhower Keeps Up on Movements Of Defense Units Steps Taken To Thwart Invasion Augusta, Ga. -IUPII - Presi dent Eisenhower studied coded reports today from U.S. war ships patrolling the Caribbean to guard Guatemala and Nica ragua from any surprise Com- munist-lcd attack. Eisenhower kept posted on the movements of Navy ships and planes following his blunt warning to Cuban Premier Fidel Castro to keep hands oft the two Central American na tions. To Prevent Invasion The President, responding to formal requests by both re volt-battered republics, Thurs day directed naval units to "seek out and prevent" any Red directed invasion of Guatemala or Nicaragua. His orders were viewed as an attempt to check a grow ing Communist threat to the Panama Canal from subver sion or revolution in Central America. The action indicated that U.S. officials believed charges by Guatemalan and Nicaragu an leaders that recent abort ive revolts against their gov ernments were inspired by Castro. Claimed Intervention Cuba's official newspaper, La Callo, termed the action "Yankee military interven tion" and a threat to peace. The newspaper ridiculed tho Idea that the two countries were jeopardized by an in vasion launched from Cuba. But ' American diplomats long have been worried about huge shipments.of war equip ment from Russia and China to bolster Cuba's war-making potential. They fear that Cas tro may try to decide to "ex port" his revolution elsewhere In the turbulent Caribbean. Meanwhile the White House brushed off Communist con demnations of Eisenhower's action In sending U.S. war ships and planes to guard the two countries. Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty called at tention to the similarity of tho protests from Soviet . leaders In Moscow and Cuban govern ment sources in Havana.' But he refused to charac terize the Cuban charges that the action endangered world peace. It speaks for Itself, he said. . ; (See story on Page 2) 400 Present at School Dedication Ashland-About 400 people were present for the formal dedication of the new Ash land Junior High school Wed nesday night! Principal Wlllard J. Smith accepted the key to the school presented by Archie Fries, Jr., school board member. The presentation followed a speech of welcome by Carroll Smith, board of education chairman. Stanley C. Jobe. superin tendent of schools, officiated at the dedication program. Jobe introduced guest speaker jacK jr. inompson, siaie di rector of elections. Thompson spoke on "Reasonable and re sponsible public education." He emphasized the need for well pianned and organized education programs. Discussed areas to want to annex to Medford, he said, and noted that the same Is true with, areas around Springfield. However, areas around oth er Oregon cities do not find these problems ; nearly as acuto and are able to ade quately get by without annex ing, he pointed out. 1 36 Annexations . .. Since. 1950 there hove been 38 separate annexations to the city of Medford, which all told have added 4,064 acres to the city, . increasing the city's land area by 289 per cent. These annexations have also added an estimated 5,000 people to the city's population. In turn the city has In stalled 25.6 miles of trunk sower mains at a cost of some $964,574 In these recently an nexed areas. A large number of water mains have also been- provided these areas, he said, but on somewhat ol a lesser scale.
