Stadium Proposal
Discussed; Plan
Will Be Pursued
"You're lucky, if you can
get it," "Hub" Kittle, general
manager of the Yakima Bears
Baseball club, told a group of
some 60 Jackson county resi
dents who met at Kim's res
taurant last night to get in
formation on a proposed sta
dium and discuss the possi
bilities of its construction.
Oil, Frozen Fog
Cause Accidents
Fog, icy highways and
spilled oil combined this morn
ing on Highway 99 near the
Bear. Creek orchards and
caused a pile up of more than
a dozen vehicles.
According to state police,
an A s b u r y Transportation
company tanker-trailer loaded
with fuel oil was hit by an
other truck about 7:35 o'clock.
The impact ruptured the oil
tank, allowing fuel oil to spill
onto the highway.
The resulting slippery high
way, already like glass from
the freezing fog, trapped un
suspecting motorists. State po
lice estimate 15 vehicles were
involved in the resulting col
lisions. Traffic on Highway 99 was
delayed for a time. A truck
from the Medford fire depart
ment was called about 7:45
o'clock and flushed away the
oil. The truck also stood by
while the remainder of the
fuel was pumped into another
tanker.
Three state policemen were
assisted by sheriff's deputies
at the scene.
Banks, Associations
To Close Saturdays
Three Medford banks and
two savings and loan associa
tions will join with other fi
nancial institutions through
out the state and close their
doors on Saturdays, starting
this week.
The decision for Oregon
banks and savings and loan
companies to close on Satur
days was made by the Oregon
Bankers association and the
Oregon Savings and Loan
league. The action had been
desired by most financial in
stitutions for a long time.
Affected locally by the de
cision will be the Medford
branches of the First National
Bank of Oregon, the United
States National Bank of Port
land, the Oregon Bank, the
Jackson County Federal Sav
ings and Loan association.
Most local finance com
panies have been closed on

The baseball man, who has
been in Medford along with
Jim Fleishman, Portland, pres

with the county court. He re

however, was designated by
the meeting chairman,. Dr.

Soil Tested
Soil at the Dark she ha
been tested and found suitable
fill dirt which could ho
utilized in the construction of
the Highway 99 freeway
through this area. Weisbrod
has pointed out that by con
tractors' use of the sue for a
barrow pit, the excavation
would be Drovided fnr a sta
dium and that $15,000 would
be realized toward the project
through sale of fill dirt.
Much of the discussion last
night centered around wheth
er the dirt is needed for fill
for the frecwav. whelhpr Ihp
material could be made avail
able and whether it could be
made available in time.
Jack McCormnck. hiphwav
department enffinper h p r p
said the freeway is planned
in a balance line through the
area, with cuts providing dirt
for fills. Barrow is not being
taken where cuts will take
care of fills. But, he said that
the line can be rebalanced to
advantage if the hall nark
area is available as a barrow
and contractors could use it
if they so wanted.

Wendt in Salem
As Representative
Of Counties Group
County Commissioner Ches
ter Wendt is in Salem this
week, as a representative of
Jackson county and a member
of the Association of Oregon
Counties' legislative commit
tee. Jackson county is particu
larly interested in a legisla
tive bill which would amend
the Oregon constitution to
permit computation of the tax
base on "the last three years
in which a tax was levied"
instead of the three "immedi
ately preceding" years. Now
taxing units lose their tax
base if they fail to levy a tax
for three successive years.
Another measure in which
the county is interested is one
to permit counties to use the
Bancroft bond procedure for
financing local improvements.
Local Improvement!
Passage of the bill would
permit property owners di
rectly affected by a local im
provement, such as streets, to
pay for it in installments over
10 years. Counties could do
more local improvement work
at no cost to the general prop
erty taxpayer.
Wendt said he Is opposed to
a proposal to require the rural
school district of county
scnooi district, instead of the
county government, to make
the lovy for the county school
fund.
The present law requiring
counties to levy at least $10
per census child (some coun
ties must levy more) and turn
it over to the schools for ex
penditure obscures responsi
bility for the county school
fund. Proponents of the bill
say it will materially help the
iinanciaily weak counties,
and would affect onlv a
small percentage of the school
revenues.
Asian Nations

isters of four Asian anti-Com
munist nations ended a two-
day meeting today expressing
a "deep concern over the pre
carious state of world peace."

40 PAGES MEDFORD,
Hatfield Unhappy
With Proposals
To Cut Budget
Money Would Be
Used To Pay Debt
Salem - (UPD - Gov. Mark
Hatfield indicated displeasure
today with a Republican pro
posal to slash his $359 million
budget by $10 million and
use the money for debt retire
ment. He said he is standing
by his original budget recom
mendations. His 1961-63 budget pro
vides no money for paying off
the state s debt during the
next two years.
A bill drafted Wednesday
by Rep. Robert Elfstrom (R-
Salem) and supported by Re
publican State Treasurer How
ard Bolton would "unbalance"
Hatfield's budget by using $10
million of the $39 million
state surplus for debt retire
ment. Elfstrom said his bill would
allow Bclton to use the $10
million to buy short term
bonds if the market was
favorable, and later apply the
money to payment of the
state's debt.
Barton Dislikes Plan
Rep. Clarence Barton (D-
Coquille) co-chairman of the
Ways and Means committee,
said he is not sure if $10 mil
lion could be trimmed from
the budget.
If such culs were made, he
said, they would have to come
in these big areas: Salary
hikes for state employees, in
cluding higher education; the
higher education budget; wel
fare; basic school support; and
capital construction.
Barton said he personally
opposes Elfstrom s bill.
Rep. Victor Atiyeh (R-Port-
land) announced he Is intro
ducing a resolution that would
again put before the voters, in
1962, a raise in pay for legis
lators front $800 a year to
$1,800. Voters defeated a
similar measure last year.
This Is the reply of House
Republicans to a legislative
expense resolution approved
by the Democratic-controlled
legislature over GOP protests
last week.
Appling To Wait
Secretary of Stale Howell
Appling Jr. announced he
plans no action on the legis
lative expense measure until
lawmaker actually files a
claim. Then-he will ask the
attorney general for an opin
ion as to whether Appling can
pay it.
Introduction of bills con
tinued at a fast clip in both
houses, bringing the total so
far to more than 200. Among
these were measures dealing
with timber taxation, a strong
er civil rights law, and anoth
er homestead tax exemption
proposal for the elderly.
Nixon Has No Plans
For Political Future
Washington - (UPI) - Out
going Vice President Richard
M. Nixon said today he has
"no plans at the present time"
to run for office in 1962 or
1964, but he would not rule
himself out of the political
picture.
Nixon told reporters he
will not make any decision
or consider a decision on that
