Ashland Council
Passes Dance Hall
Bill at Meeting
Ashland - Routine business
was handled by the Ashland
city council in an hour last
night, but the council bogged
down on an emergency ordi
nance which eventually was
given unanimous approval.
Discussed at length was
dance hall ordinance present
ed by City Attorney Harry
Skerry. The action was taken
as a measure to control dance
halls and areas surrounding
them. It was drawn up on
the basis of state statute, and
will be put into immediate
effect.
Included in the ordinance
are a requirement that
dance license must be applied
for; a guarantee of an order
ly house and surroundings;
posted bond of $500: no intoxi

and 6 a.m., and a surety bond
signed by 12 free-holders.
The dance hall measure ap
plies to all public places
where admission is charged
exceptions being social clubs
or school groups giv i n g
dances for charity or enter
tainment. These may apply
for temporary license without
bond. Also excepted are com
mercial dance schools and
restaurants which have danc
ing in connection with their
service.
Approval of the emergency
measure was unanimous, and
Police Chief Herb Hays was
instructed to begin immediate
enforcement.
In other action, the council
voted to act on a recommen
dation of the planning com
mission and deeded a 23-foot
strip on Clark st. to the Pres
byterian church for angle
parking, leaving a 47 - foot
street.
A petition for crosswalk on
Siskiyou blvd. in front of the
Assembly of God church was
approved, contingent upon an
approval from the state high
way representative who will
visit Ashland this week.
Beverage license renewals
for Hamby's Drive-in and for
the Oregon Foods Store were
pproved; on petitions of prop
erty owners, the name o

Negro Borough
President Guilty
Of Conspiracy
New York -WPD- It had been
seven months and one hung
Jury since Manhattan's first
Negro borough president, Hu
lan E. Jack, had sat behind
his desk in the Municipal
Building, but still he was
jaunty and smiling Tuesday
when he entered a courtroom
a few blocks away.
The smile vanished at 5:05
p.m. Jack, who receives $o,-
000 a year and Is the nation's
highest-paid Negro in elective
office, will probably never sit
down at that desk again.

seven men, after deliberating
less than five hours in his sec
ond trial, convicted him of two
counts of violating the city
charter by accepting a $4,400
loan from a whitu real estate
operator, who was seeking
city business, and of one count
of conspiring with the real
estate man to keep the loan
a secret. The money went for
remodeling Jack's six -room
Harlem apartment.
Jack was acquitted of
fourth charge - accepting an
illegal gratuity-but conviction
on even one count meant he
must give up his Job.
Jack also faces a possible
sentence of up to three years
in prison and fines totaling
$1,800. Judge Joseph A. Sara
flte set Jan. 16 for sentencing
and released Jack on parole.
Jack's attorney said he
would appeal.

XI5 Test Pilot
Completes Work
On Rocket Ship
Edwards AFB, Calif.-OIPU-
Scott Crossfield, daring test
pilot who has devoted five
years to development of the
rocket ship X15, completed
his toughest flight of the craft
and quipped, "I'm out of
work."
For Crossfield, Tuesday's
eight-minute flight of the 50
foot craft with the world's
biggest airplane engine mark
ed his 13th and last scheduled
stint at the X15's controls.
Nearly Ready
For the government, the
highly successful flight dem
onstrated the XI 5 is nearly
ready for a series of tests that
is expected to climax next
spring in the thrust to the
edge of space 100 miles high
and at speeds of 4,000 miles
an hour.
A pilot for either the Air
Force, Navy or National Aero
nautics and Space Adminis
tration will be at the controls
for the flight, but Crossfield
will be there beside him,
spirit at least.
Life Repeatedly Risked
The X15 has been Cross
field's life since North Amer
ican Aviation signed him in
1955 to make the preliminary
test of the craft that at that
time was only a dream he has
repeatedly risked his life to
make real.
Asked following his final
schedule flight what his most
memorable moment has been,
Crossfield said, "that occurred
five years ago next Monday
when they hired me to fly it."
In Sharp Bank
Crossfield in the Tuesday
flight banked the X15 in a
sharp 90-degree turn with en
gine roaring, subjecting him
self to the terrific force of
six Gs, equal to six times the
pull of gravity at sea level.
He flew across the clear
sky above this Mojave Desert
base at speeds of around 1,900
miles an hour 10 miles high.
Briefly he cut in the huge
57,000-pound thrust engine at
full power, but he kept his
air brakes on full-force to
keep the craft's velocity down.

Merger of Protestant Church
Groups Said Working in India
San Francisco - IUPD - U. S.
church leaders were told to
day that a merger of the Pres
byterian, Episcopal, Method
is t and Congregatlonalist
churches in India has proved
to be "an unqualified blessing
to all concerned."
The statement was made by
the Rt. Rev. J. E. Lesslie
Newbigin, a bishop of the
Church of South India which
was formed by the four-way
merger in 1947.
Bishop Newbigin's report
to the General Assembly of
the National Council of
Churches attracted special in
terest because a proposal was
made here Sunday for mer
ger of the same four Protest
ant denominations in the
United States.
Bishop Newbigin declined
to comment directly on the
U.S. merger proposal, put for
ward by the Rev. Dr. Eugene
Carson Blake, stated clerk of
the United Presbyterian
church. But he said India's
experience has shown that
Protestant bodies of widely
different traditions can unite
"very harmoniously."
Church Was Strengthened
"We have learned a great
deal from each other," he
said. "The coming together of
our churches has greatly
strengthened the Christian
witness in India."
At a news conference. Bish
op Newbigin said that the re
sponse of rank and file church
members to the merger has
been "overwhelmingly favor
able." He said the basic motiva
tion for reuniting the church
is not to achieve increased
strength or efficiency, al
though those are welcome by
products, but to obey God's
will.
Divisions among Chris
tians dishonor Christ," he
said. "If we cannot live to
gether in one family we have
somehow misunderstood the
gospel."
The Rev. Dr. James I. Mc-
Cord, president of Princeton
Theological Seminary, Prince
ton, N.J., told the assembly
that the cooperation which
Protestant and orthodox de
nominations have achieved
through such bodies as the
national and world councils
of churches is good, but "it is
not enough."
"The challenge of our times
can be met by nothing less
than a willingness on our part

At a business session Tues
