Welfare Commissioners Reject Charges Leveled by Gov. Hatfiel
Annoyance Voiced Over
Lack of Board man Paper
Salem-flJPD - Members of
Meam subcommittee expreited annoyance
today over Got. Mark Hatfield's failure to
produce a lease application from Boeing
Airplane company for Oregon's 96.000-acre
Boardman industrial park.
The committee requested the lease, or
correspondence related to it, during con
sideration of a planning and development
agency budget Tuesday.
The committee meeting was terminated
when the lease application; or related pa
pers, failed to appear.
Hatfield said the lease application, an
nounced several days ago, was not yet in
final form and would probably go before
the state land board next week.
The committee said emergency funds
have been allocated to the planning and de
velopment agency in the past year to ad
vance promotion of industry at the Board-
More Apples, Pears
To Europe Urged To
Ease Gold Problem
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington (Special)
Northwest fruit growers have
wasted no time telling the new
Kennedy administration that
one way to ease the gold prob
lem is to get the Europeans to
eat more apples and pears.
An apple a day may not
keep the gold shortage away,
but it won't hurt Oregon and
Washington fruit growers.
James E. Clair of Hood
River, president of the U.S.
National Fruit Council, Er
nest Falk of Yakima and
representatives of the apple
growers, citrus growers and
canners called on Agriculture
Secretary Orville Free man
and Undersecretary of State
George Ball, as well as North
west members of Congress.
Question Raised
Freeman reported to the
group that he had already
raised the question of foreign
barriers to American agricul
tural products during a meet
ing of President Kennedy's
cabinet.
The fruit officials reported
that Freeman showed a desire;
to increase the export bf allM
sons 01 agricultural proaucis.
Undersecretary Ball, whose
area of concern at the State
D e par tment is economics;
showed the same sympathetic
interest, they reported.
One of the arguments ad
vanced was that the more
fruit that is sold abroad, the
fewer will be the number of
dollars available in Europe for
conversion into gold thus
diminishing accordingly the
flow of American gold to for
eign control. :
Could Increase Sales
Falk estimated that the $150
million fruit sales in Europe
could be increased by another
$100 million, if discrimination
against American Imports
could be broken down.
The problem, as they see it,
is a diplomatic one, not a com
mercial one. Trade channels
are closed by government re
strictions in many countries,
presumably to protect fruit
grown locally or in more fa
vored countries.
. "There is a consumer de
mand for our fruit, even
though it is high in price,"
Falk said.
In 1960, America sold 1.9
million bushels of apples in
Europe. One million bushels
went to Great Britain. This
represented only 22.9 per cent
of the apple sales to Europe
which American exporters en
joyed in the late 30s.
Sales of pears to Europe last
year amounted to 780,000
bushels, or 38.8 per cent of
pre-war sales.
Europe has a larger domes
tic fruit harvest now than it
did before World War II, Falk
pointed out.
"All we want is a chance
to compete," he added.
a Wavs and
Another problem area is
Latin America, where the
elimination of Cuba as a mar
ket has served to aggravate
the fruit export problem.
The question is whether
American diplomats can per
suade more countries to per
mit entry of American fruit.

Flexible Charter
For Home Rule
Said Desirable
A home rule charter should
be flexible so "future county
officials will not be unduly
restricted in meeting future
county government problems.
Orval Etter, research attorney
for the bureau of municipal
research, Eugene, told the
Jackson county home rule
study committee yesterday
afternoon.
"It's possible to enlarge
county government powers or
change the structure of gov
ernment, or to do both," Etter
said.
"One of the most funda
mental questions is ' what a
county home rule charter will
do to the total government pic
ture," the lawyer pointed out.
"Home rule can make coun
ty government better or worse
if policies are not sound. It's
imperative that we understand
our opportunities and see the
long range implications."
Etter indicated that the
problem of special districts
becomes an increasing one in
counties like Jackson which
serve rapidly expanding met
ropolitan areas. Tax-wise, they
are complicated, and political
ly they are hard to keep track
of, he said.
More Complicated
The ease with which South
ern California fringe areas
could obtain contractural serv
ices from municipalities, and
the many special districts at
tempting to serve those areas
outside the cities, has .made
county and city government
more complicated, Etter said.
He agreed that often city
residents are taxed to extend
city-type service to fringe
areas. Establishing special dis
tricts to provide these services
has created problems for Cali
fornia municipalities, he said.
It makes annexation of areas
more difficult.
People who want services
from the county appear before
the governing bodies or pre
sent petitions requesting serv
ices. However, in the city, the
council or mayor can order
the services be performed by
city departments. The county
court has no administrative
control over county depart
ments, only control of spend
ing. A charter could establish
this authority, Etter said.
However, Etter indicated
the county should not go over
board in providing services to
fringe areas. Many people
move to those unincorporated
areas because taxes are gen
erally lower there. They don't
want the higher cost services
which the cities provide, he
pointed out.
Reward Offered
For Deer Slayer
Ashland A $100 reward
has been posted payable to
any person volunteering in
formation leading to the arrest
and conviction of the person
or persons responsible for kill
ing a deer in Lithia Park in
Ashland Jan. 30.
Police Chief Herb Hays said
the reward has been offered
by the Ashland Park commis
sion. The commission is con
tinually concerned with pre
venting malicious damage in
the park, Hays said.
The deer was shot about
7:15 p.m. Jan. 30. The incident
was reported by a couple who
were walking through the
park. They said they heard
a shot then observed a car
speeding away from the an
imal refuge park area on
Granite st.
The car resembled a 1954
or 1955 Ford, either gray and
white or blue and white, they
said.

County Willing to
Cooperate in Air
Pollution
County Judge Earl Miller'i
told a joint meeting of the
Medford city council and the
county court Tuesday that the
county is willing to cooperate
in the control of air pollution
in the valley, but added that
he doubts the county has the
power to enforce controls.
The meeting had been call
ed by the city council to dis
cuss mutual problems in the
field of air pollution, and to
determine whether the coun
ty would join with the city in
enforcing an air pollution or
dinance.
City Manager Robert A.
Duff explained at the outset
of the meeting that the city is
holding meetings with all in
terested groups in the valley
to determine what the scope
and content of a proposed city
air pollution ordinance should
be.
Makes Exhaustive Survey
He pointed out that the
Oregon State Sanitary author
ity made an exhaustive survey
of air pollution in the Medford
area, and found that Medford
has "severe" air pollution dur
ing certain periods of the year.
The sanitary authority sub
mitted a report to the city last
year in which it recommended
that the city council pass and
enforce appropriate ordi
nances for the prevention and
abatement of air pollution
within the city limits.
The report also recommend
ed that air pollution here be
approached on an area-wide
basis with the city, county and
state sharing the responsibili
ties. Judge Miller said yesterday
that he is "very encouraged"
by the amount of work that
has been done to control airj
pollution in the valley on a
"voluntary and cooperative
basis."
Voluntary Program
Miller pointed out that the
orchardists have voluntarily
agreed to reduce the open
burning type smudge pots by
20 per cent a year over a
period of five years. This
agreement has been In effect
now for two years, he said,
and the orchardists are ahead
of their own schedule.
Miller also pointed out that
mill owners and the lumber
industry here have agreed to
cooperate In replacing or re
pairing smoke producers in
their mills in order to reduce
air pollution.
He said that although the
county is willing to cooperate
in the abatement of air pol
lution, "the economy of the
valley definitely has to be con
sidered if we are . to do it
without hurting anyone."
Duff agreed with Miller on
this point, and said the city
also does not want to force
any industry to shut down or
move out of the city or valley.
He indicated that it is prob
able an air pollution ordi
nance here would allow each
MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8,
Control
industry a reasonable amount
of time to comply.
Also at yesterday's meetlnK
was Ted Gerow, state sanitary
engineer, ior. uus area.
Could Enforce Laws
Regarding Miller's comment
that the county doesn't have
the power to enforce an ordi
nance, Gerow said much could
be accomplished if the district
attorney would enforce the
state laws and regulations re
garding air pollution. He
noted, however, that most dis
trict attorneys have so far
been reluctant to do this.
Gerow added that if the city
will adopt and enforce an or
dinance, and if the district at
torney will enforce the state
laws, there can be "adequate"
supervision of an air pollution
program on an area - wide
basis.
Another possible area of
cooperation between the city
and county, he said, would be
for the two governments to
jointly hire technical person
nel to. supervise and enforce
the ordinance and laws in both
jurisdictions.
He added that bills are now
before the legislature, which
would strengthen the county's
ability to participate more
actively in air pollution con
trol. FIRE BURNS BRIDGE
Corvallis - IUPII - A 200-foot
wooden bridge on the Alsea
Highway about 17 miles west
of here was closed Tuesday
night when fire burned over
about half of it.
Earth-Fill
J. A. Callan, construction
engineer for the Talent Irri
gation project, told the Mail
Tribune Tuesday that Emi
grant dam is built with the
same tested and proven meth
ods as all earth-fill dams, and
would withstand the shock of
an earthquake much better
than would a concrete dam.
Callan's comments were
made in commenting on a
contention by E. M. Tucker,
owner of Tucker Siio-Cat com
pany, that Emigrant dam is
not as secure as it should be.
Tucker had suggested that
the dam be reinforced with
concrete or a steel plate.
Callan pointed out that an
earth-fill dam is much more
resistant to shocks than is a
concrete dam. He said con
crete is a solid mass and a
sudden shock can cause it to
crack. Dirt, on the other hand,
is pliable and can take a
shock without rupture.
Cites Hebgen Dam
As an example, Callan
noted that the Hebgen
dam, also an earth-filled
structure, withstood the in
tense shocks of the 1959 Yel

County Reimbursed
For Special Class
County School Superinten
dent Alf Mekvold told the
Jackson county court this
morning that the county
would be reimbursed $4,708
it had actually contributed to
the county's general education
program for mentally retard
ed children.
The county is reimbursed
by the state and the school
districts in Jackson county
which the program serves, he
explained. "
Total allocation for the pro
gram was $36,075.78 for the
past school year. However, the
county operated only three
classes and not four as planned
so it spent $30,157.02 of the
$36,975 total allocation. The
rural school board had allo
cated $28,650 for the program,
Mekvold said. The county
court had allowed a total allo
cation of $7,425 for the special
education program and will be
reimbursed only for t h e
$4,708 spent, the school super
intendent explained.
Dam More
and sustained only minor
damage.
Callan said he recently sent
a copy of a letter to Tucker
in which he tried to point out
that the building of a dam is
not n haphazard thing. He
said that it requires "diligent
planning, design and careful
construction methods to in
sure lasting and beneficial
use."
Emigrant dam is part of the
Talent Irrigation project and
is being built by the bureau
of reclamation. It is schedul
ed for completion next month.
The dam is 190 feet high,
700 feet long, and has a reser
voir capacity of 40,000 acre
feet of water. The earth-fill
portion of the dam is built
over an older 110-foot high
concrete dam, which now
serve as the dam core.
11,000 Feet Thick
The rebuilt dam is 11,000
feet thick (more than two
miles) at the base, tapering
up to a 30-foot thickness at
the top. Besides dirt, there
is sand, gravel and large rock
in the earth-fill portion. The

Highway Funds
Should Be Released
Salem -IUPD- Gov. Mark Hat
field Tuesday urged the legis
lature to tack emergency
clauses on some legislation to
provide money for "early
starts" to help the state's
economy.
He asked speedy enactment
of bills providing some $7
million in higher education
buildings, $1 million at state
institutions and $4 million for
a dormitory bonding program.
Hatfield also said the state
should make some $5 million
in highway construction funds
available now instead of next
April.
Not Satisfied
The governor, speaking of
the economy, said, "We're not
satisfied but we're not dis
couraged."
Among higher education
buildings he said were ready
to be built are an Oregon State
College library, a science
building at Portland State,
Humanities building at Ore
gon, and a social science build'
lng at Southern Oregon.
The governor also made
these points at his afternoon
news conference:

is a far larger dam, and is
also of earth-fill construction.
That dam, he said, will be
465 feet high, and will have

Four Hours of
Testimony Heard
By Big Crowd
Duncan Presides
At Lengthy Hearing
Salem -(UPD- Members of the
Oregon Welfare Commission
Tuesday night rejected
charges by Gov. Mark Hat
field that the agency is arro
gant and inefficient. One im
plied Hatfield himself is part
ly to blame for any adminis
tration chaos.
Commissioner Gerson Gold
smith of Portland, one of the
four that Hatfield said he
wished would quit, said: "We
respect the governor's wishes
when we know what they
are."
He said he hasn't seen the
governor personally since May
31.
Warne Nunn, the governor's
executive assistant, spent an
hour documenting commission
defiance of executive sugges
tions and proposals.
. Two legislative committees
and a crowd of about 650 per
sons heard four hours of testi
mony for and against the com
mission. Houso Speaker Rob
ert Duncan of Medford, who
presided, said the hearing will
be continued. No date was set.
Hearing Jammed
An estimated 390 persons
jammed the Capitol's biggest
hearing room and another 250
overflowed into the halls. The
hearing was conducted by
House Committees on State
and Federal Affairs, and Pub-,
lie Health and Welfare.
All seven members of the
commission were present and
all testified, giving conflicting
opinions on whether commis-
sio headquarters should be
moved from Portland to Sa
lem and reaction to Hatfield's
reorganization plan as it af
fects welfare.
His proposal would take
away the commission's policy
making power, making it an
advisory board under a new
social services department.
Lead-off witness was Nunn,
who traced deterioration of re
lations between Hatfield and
the commission In the past
two years.
In a 21 - page statement
Nunn charged the commission
with failure to administer me
relative responsibility act and
federal surplus food program,
and "lack of aggressiveness"
in establishing the county
work relief program.
He also said the commission
is lax In -clamping down on
welfare cheats and has a "lack
of concern for public funds."
UPI Column Linked
Nunn said Hatfield concurs
with a guest column written
for United Press International
by Duncan last August when
Duncan said: "The important
thlncr is nnt. whrt tfets rrpdifc
for Improvements in govern
ment, but that improvements
take place."
Goldsmith said he feared
Hatfield's reorganization plan
will "put welfare into poll
tics." Mrs. Lee Patterson of Port
land, a welfare commissioner
since 1939, said Nunn called
her last month and asked her
to resign, adding that the gov
ernor "already had a replace- ,
ment."
Changed Her Mind
She said she had Intended
to resign this year before the
call, but now has changed her
mind. Her term expires in
1962.
Only one commissioner fa
vored the shift of headquar
ters tb Salem. Mrs. Frank
Bash, Medford, said it would
be a "great economy move."
. Goldsmith said the move,
ordered for next spring, might
"cripple" effectiveness of the
welfare program.
rock abutments at either side
of the dam have been re-enforced
by forcing cement
grout Into the rock under
pressure. This will prevent
leakage, he said.
Another safety factor is a
system of pressure gauges
located at strategic points on
the dam itself. These gauges
will record any rise In water
pressure or any movement of
the dam itself.
Possibility Does Not Exist
The possibility that the wa
ter might rise over the top of
the dam does not exist, he
said, because of a concrete
spillway located one-half mile
from the dam itself. This
spillway, he pointed out, can
carry more water than the to
tol amount of water that
could flow into the reservoir
at any one time.
Callan said the dam and its
specifications were designed
and prepared by the office of
the chief engineer of the bu
reau of reclamation and his
staff in Denver, Colo.
These men, he said, "are
known and consulted through
out the world on design and
construction of water conser
vation developments."
