Newspaper Page Text2 C THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 23, 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE, Protestants To Draft Policy on Birth Control Syracuse, N. Y. - rtlPD - Th nation's largest Protestant church group takes its first policy action today to approve use of birth control devices as a part of the Christian re sponsibility of family plan ning. The draft resolution pre sented to the 250-member General Board of the National Council of Churches also called for opposition to both laws and institutional prac tices that restrict information or use of contraceptives. It recommended that the federal government be pre pared to provide birth control information and assistance to any other government which might request it in the inter est of population control. '" First Such Statement It becomes the first intcr- denominational statement of the Protestant theological po sition which is in direct con flict with the long-stated op position of the Roman Cath olic Church to artificial means of birth control. The pronouncement was drafted as a consensus of Pro testant opinion; at least seven of the council's member churches, representing two- thirds of the constituent church membership, had pre viously issued similar endorse ments of birth control. East ern Orthodox churches ab stained from formulation or action on the policy statement, in preparation for more than a year. "One fundamental 'affirma tion of the Protestant consen sus is that motives rather than means form the primary ethi cal Issue In regard to family limitation," said one of the drafters of the pronounce ment. "If the motives are right, there is considerable latitude as to appropriate means." Requires Decisions Responsible parenthood re quires specific moral and ethical decisions of each couple on family planning, the pronouncement said. Spokesmen said there were . some instances in which a couple might properly decide to have no children, but the ' draft resolution , cautioned couples to "remember that having children is a venture In faith, requiring a measure . of courage and confidence in God's goodness. Too' cautious' ' a, reckoning of the costs, may be as great an error as failure to lift the God-given power or procreation to the level of ethical decision." . , The board Wednesday night approved, 83-1, a strong policy pronouncement favoring fed eral aid to public schools and warning that extension of such aid to private and church-related schools "would destroy the public school system" or fatally weaken it. Support Heard For Tax Exemption On Fishing Boats Salem-IUPD-The House Tax committee heard strong sup port Wednesday for a bill that would exempt commercial fishing boats from property taxes. There was no ' tcstimoney against the measure, HB1135 sponsored by Rep. William Holmstrom (D-Gearhart). Holmstrom said commercial boats should be on a tax par with pleasure boats, already exempt. , He said the burden shifted from commercial boats to oth er classes of property would be "very small." Robert Rittenhouse, Oregon Marine director, concurred and said commerlcat fisher men pay a host of other taxes, Besides this, they are general ly "good Samaritans" and their very presence on water ways is a safety factor for pleasure boaters in distress. Under the bill, commercial boats would be exempt only if they were licensed by the state. The license fee would be In lieu of a property tax, as it is with cars. William Westerholm of As toria put the Columbia River Fishermen's Protective As sociation on record for the bill. He is executive secretary. Also for the bill arc the Oregon Marine Trades Associ ation, Columbia Basin River Operators, and Coos Bay Tug and Barge Co, Speaking for all throe, Port land Attorney. Thomas J. White said the bill would be an incentive for licensing of boats in Oregon, keeping , Washington state from picking up fees. GETS ROCKET FREQUENCY .

But ob servatory director Sir Bernard Lovell said the Russians did , not say what time the signals could bj expected. --' -.A.-' T n "The Most Meat for Your Money at Thunderbird!"

BOTTLE : 3.99 THE NEW CORNER JACKSONVILLE HIVAY AND LOZIEjR LANE Plains Region GefsSnowsform; Floods in South By United Press International A blinding snowstorm barreled down the east slopes of the Rockies into the upper Lreat Plains today where it met a rain cover across 22 eastern states. In the South, the Weather Bureau at Montgomery, Ala., said floodwaters from swollen creeks and overtaxed sewers were approaching the "critical stage," and Louisiana's flood threat turned to the gorged Bogue Iusa creek north of New Orleans. Rain and snow were divid ed along a giant cold front that sliced out of eastern Can ada across Lake Huron into northern Illinois. Fog along the front contributed to two fatal plane crashes at Rock ford, , 111., and Davenport, Iowa. Southwest Balmy The cold front levels nfP in Kansas and Utah nnrfh nr balmy weather in the South west, fjtiu winds lifted Los Angeles' smo? and lifpmmrHc worked overtime at crowded southern California beaches The Pacific Northwest en joyed its . first clear coastal weather in days.

In Alabama. r.nv Tnhn Pe terson Wednesday" called the flood situation "alarming" and recalled National Guard troops for emergency duty at Birmingham. More than 1,200 persons left their homes at Birmingham. 100 at Northnnvt. and 72 at Tuscaloosa. U.S. Gold Sales Fall Oil Since Inauguration Day Washington - IUPD - S a 1 e s of U.S. gold have fallen off sharply since , Inauguration day. Treasury, officials give much ot the credit to Presi dent Kennedy's approach to the gold-and-dollar drain prob lem. In the first four weeks of the Kennedy administration gold sales totaled S116 million dollars. In' the precedinc month, under former Presi dent Dwight D. Eisenhower. gold sales amounted to $457 million and $334 million in the month before that. Uncertainty Evaporated Treasury officials said much of the uncertainty about the dollar which boiled up last autumn has evaporated. They said this ; was indicated ; by these developments: -Comments of British and Gorman government officials who have been in Washington in the past two weeks. . A decline in the price of gold In the London market, '" an apparent signal that specu lation against the dollar has subsided. -More favorable quotations for the dollar on European money exchanges. Doubteri Thought Convinced Officials in Washington be lieve Kennedy has convinced the doubters that he opposes devaluation of the dollar and he intends to shrink, if not wipe out, the deficit in the U.S. balance of International payments.- Jury Being Picked For Trial of Carbo . Los Angeles-IUPD-The trial of' Frankle Carbo- and four others on extortion charges continues today with the' se lection of a Jury. Court was in recess Wednes day because of Washington's birthday. On Tuesday, defense attorneys claimed Negroes have been excluded from the jury list, but U.S. District Judge Ernest A. Tolin denied the accusation. Carbo, Truman Gibson, Frank (Blinky) Palermo, Louis Tom Dragna and Joseph Sica, the latter two of Los Angeles. are accused of threatening the former managers of ex-welterweight boxing champion Don - Jordan in trying to grab part of tne lighter s contract. Carbo two days ago finished a two-year prison sentence in New York for acting as an undercover manager of boxers there.
