Secretary Tells
01 Doubts About
Nike Missile ;
Washington - (UPD - Defense
Secretary Robert S. McNam
ara spelled out In unmistak
able terms today the adminis
tration's determination to
build forces that could fight
limited wars without nuclear
weapons..-
McNamara also s 1 a p p e d
hard at the Army's contention
that (its Nike-Zeus antimissile
missile is ready, for large-scale
production. He 'said there are
widespread doubts whether
this weapon should ever be
deployed.
Program Reviewed
The secretary reviewed
President Kennedy's defense
program in testimony before
the Senate : Armed Services
committee. . 1
, He said', user of nuclear
weapons in limi'id wars
should not be ruled, out. But
"the decision to employ tac
tical nuclear, weapons in lim
ited conflicts should not be
forced upon us simply ' be
cause we have no other means
to cope with them," he said. -"There
are many possible
situations in which it would
not be advisable or feasible to
use such weapons," he said.
"What is being proposed at
this time is not a reversal of
our existing national policy
but an, increase in our non
nuclear capabilities to provide
a greater degree of versatil
ity" :
WiU Be Mere Difficult
McNamara said that "today
our strategic forces are fully
adequate but as our principal
antagonists acquire a large
and ready force of interconti
nental ballistic missiles which
could be launched with little
or no warning" the problem
will become much more diffi
cult. r
He said the best answer is
an American strategic missile
force that could "ride out" a
nuclear attack. Polaris sub
marine missiles,' he said, have
"the highest degree of surviv
ability" and the Mlnuteman
ICBM "should ' also have a
high degree of survivability."
Better Than None y'.
McNamara said the. protec
tion of the' Nike-Zeus anti-
ICBlyi "would be better than
none at all," but ruled out an
early production program.
"There-still is considerable
uncertainty as to its technical
feasibility and there are many
serious, operating- problems,"
he said.'' , ' ' - : ,r

Cases Reported in
County Th
An unusually high number
of confirmed new cases of
tuberculosis in Jackson coun
ty have been reported during
the first three months this
year, according to Dr. A. Erin
Merkel, county health officer.
In addition, there are a
number of unconfirmed cases
still -under investigation, he
added.
There have been 11 hew
cases, some of whom are chil
dren, confirmed so far in
1961, and all 11 are now
under treatment, he said. This
compares with 16 for all of
last year, and 11 for 1939.
Ages for the patients range
from 8 months to 78 years, ac
cording to records at the
health department, with some
of the disease discovered by
private physicians, and some
at the chest x-ray clinic op
erated at the Sacred Heart
hospital by the Jackson Coun
ty- Tuberculosis and Health
association. .
This brings to 158 the
number of tuberculosis cases
in Jackson county on the
case registry of the health de
partment. Because tuberculo
sis is a communicable disease,
the health department . is
charged with its control.
Dr. Merkel pointed . out
that children who have the

Cuba was being "steadily and

single goal - the transforma

Senators Urge
Timber Pricing
Policy Revision
Washington, D. C. - Five
Northwest area Senators have
tnved the Secretary of Agri
culture and the Secretary of
the Interior to revise timber
pricing policies on the na
tional forests, tne Oregon ana
California lands, the public
domain forests, and . Indian
forests administered by the
Department of the Interior.
Joining in the letter were
Senators Neuberge'r, Morse,
Magnuson, ' Jackson and En
gle. ..:, . .'.yv:i.
The proposal, they recom
mended was the adoption of
a system of interim adjust
ments based on the use of in
dices for timber sold in the
Douglas fir region. This is
an extension of a pricing pol
icy put into effect in the pine
region under the Truman Ad
ministration in 1949. The re
sult would be that as the
price of forest products var
ied, the price paid for stump
age would also vary, reflect
ing changes in market condi
tions...; :. V :'. ;
Market Curtailed
' The Senators pointed but:
"For the last several months
the lumber market has been
severely curtailed, particular
ly that of the Douglas fir In
dustry . i , the recent decline,
with attendant and substan
tial unemployment, has been
a cause of real economic dis
tress. "We are confident that the
use of indices to reflect the
wider fluctuations in forest
products prices would help
achieve not only greater pro.
duction stability in the na
tion's most important timber
producing region, but also in
low market periods it would
tend to reduce unemployment
and the economic hardships it
produces."
The Senators called upon
the two Secretaries to act in
concert to institute devices
which will promote economic
health. , . ,
Easement Checks
Several southern Oregon
residents recently received
payment for easements which
they had granted to the bu
reau of land management.
According to Medford Dis
trict Manager Ross A. Young-
blood, the easements will pro
vide access for multiple use
management of government
land served by five road sys
tems. , : j ' -
During March, checks were
delivered for easements across
property to Mr. and Mrs. Rob
ert A. Frost and Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond L. Frost, Selma, for
2.16 acres in connection with
the proposed McMullin Creek
road; Mr. and Mrs. John D.
Bowman, Ashland, for 6.73
acres in connection with the
proposed Tyler Creek road;
Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Axtell.
Trail, for 2.10 acres in con
nection with the proposed
Laurelhurst cutoff; Herman
Gerhardus, Rogue River, for
.64 acres in connection with
the proposed East Fork Evans
Creek road;, and Mr. and Mrs.
E. N. Lippert, Medford, for
6.9 acres in connection with
the proposed Powell Creek
road.
Youngblood said the access
policy of the bureau of land
management aims to provide
suitable and adequate road
systems to manage the public
lands. It is often necessary to
cross private lands, and the
cooperation of private land
owners greatly assists the bu
reau in providing efficient
management, he said.
