Records Show 12
Nights of Heating
"-,' William Rogers) meterolo
gist for the fruit frost warn
ing service, said this morning
his official records show 12
nights of orchard heating so
far..''. '
The night and morning of
April 18 and 19 was the worst
period with every heater in
the Rogue valley lit since it
was hard to hold the temper
atures. The next worst peri
od was on April 13 and 14
with moderate heating. Other
heating was comparatively
light, he noted.
Rogers noted that SO per
cent more acreage is being
heated this year than a few
years iago, but much less
smoke occurred during the
nights of heavier heating.
' ' So far, more than 40 per
cent of the more smoke-pro-,
ducing heaters have been con
certed to less smoke produc
ing ones, he noted. County
Agent Clifford B. Cordy
noted that heater conversion
is well ahead of the 40 per
cent, or 20 per cent required
annually.
Cordy estimates it costs a
total of $15,000 an hour to
heat orchards during the
worst nights. This is based
on figures of 20 to 35 heat
ers to an acre for a total of
6,000 acres. '
Gasoline Price Control
Legislation Hits Snag
Salem-HIPD-A bill to control gasoline prices snagged this
morning when a House committee chairman refused to
acknowledge a "do pass" motion.
' The action came after the House and Federal Affairs
Committee heard 90 minutes of pleas from gasoline dealers
to end a "chaotic" price war.
Rep. Edward J. Whelan (D-Portland) moved to send out
HB1755 but Chairman Norman Howard (D-Portland) ignored
the motion.
Howard was challenged by Reps. George Van Hooomis
sen (D-Portland) and George Layman (R-Newberg) but the
group adjourned without taking action.
The committee was scheduled to meet later today to
discuss action.
Some 300 gasoline dealers from all parts of Oregon
attended the hearing.
' Spokesman Charles Goforth said a slash of 12 cents per
gallon on gas means a loss of $6.5 million per month to
the industry. About a fourth of this loss is absorbed by the
dealers, he said. . -s
Goforth said the average dealer is losing about $300 a
month. He said 1,000 persons are out of jobs in the Portland
area and up to 2,300 jtatewide.

City Patrolman
Forced To Resign
For Chasing Car
Medford City Patrolman
Dennis E. Perkins was forced
to resign from the police de
partment today for chasing a
car outside the city which had
committed no violation within
the city.
Police Chief Charles P.
Champlin said Perkins exer
cised "poor judgment" in giv
ing chase to a car early last
Monday which ended with a
woman being injured,' and two
cars, including a police patrol
car, being totally demolished.
Champlin said, "this kind
of judgment cannot be toler
ated in the Medford police de
partment." Perkins, 24, had been with
the police department since
November, 1958. His resigna
tion was effective today, ac
cording to Champlin.
According to his own re
port, Perkins was parked at
the Medford city limits on
Highway 99 in his patrol car
about 3:25 a.m., Monday when
he spotted a car just outside
the city limits allegedly speed
ing. .... -No
Response
Perkins gave chase to the
car which was headed toward
Central Point. He said later
he tried to contact the Central
Point police by radio, but he
received no response.
Perkins then radioed for
help from his own depart
ment, apparently failing to re
port that the car was seen
outside the city limits when
it committed the alleged vio
lation. Three other Medford police
cars responded to the call and
the car was chased,' at speeds
estimated jip to 100 miles per
hour, from Central Point to
Jacksonville and back toward
Gold Hill. . .
At the Gold Hill inter
change the fleeing vehicle
went out of control on a curve
and crashed. A pursuing police
patrol car, operated by Med
ford Patrolman Richard Ham
ilton, failed to negotiate the
same curve and also crashed.
A woman passenger in the
first vehicle sustained a
broken leg.
Drops From Chase '
Patrolman Perkins had
earlier dropped out of the
chase because the brakes on
his patrol car started to go
out.
It was not until the chase
was over and the driver of
the first car was being taken
into police custody, that the
other officers learned the flee
ing vehicle had apparently
committed no violation within
the city limits of Medford.
City police are legally able
to chase vehicles outside of a
city that have been seen to
commit a violation within the
city, but they have no control
over vehicles or anyone else
who commits an offense out-,
side the city limits.

A Left And
Hatfield
Proposal Would
Allow Navy To
Share Location
Legislc
ative Heads
Endorse Suggestion
Salem -(UPD- Gov. Mark Hat
field late Thursday announced
a plan to double the size of
Oregon's space age industrial
park at Boardman - to nearly
200,000 acres - and allow the
Navy to share it with Boeing
Airplane Co., Seattle; .
, Hatfield said Boeing, which
has leased the 96,000 to 100,
000 acre Navy bombing range
for 80 years at $60,000 per
year, wants to begin construc
tion at Boardman "as soon as
possible for significant activi
ty" in connection with the na
tional space exploration pro
gram. ' . ' :
Proposal Endorsed
Legislative leaders promptly
endorsed the- proposal. The
Eastern Oregon site is in Mor
row county and has frontage
on the Columbia river. :
'. Hatfield said, negotiations
are underway" to acquire
another 96,000 acres to the
west and east of Boardman.
Half of this in privately-owned
and the other half is in the
public domain.
Would Reduce Cost
Both Boeing and the Navy
have approved the "proposal,
Hatfield said.
He said the new procedure
would permit "much earlier
development" at Boardman
by Boeing, reduce cost of mov
ing the Navy's practice range
to Southern Oregon, and re
duce the requirement for
state-owned land to be ex
changed. . .
Hatfield said provisions of
the lease already executed
with Boeing ..by the , Oregon
Land Board would remain ef
fective, and would apply to
either plan.
Duncan Likes Idea
House Speaker Robert B.
Duncan (D Medford)'. i ai d
"without studying ? the pro
posal in detail, It appears to
be more satisfactory and less
expensive" than moving, the

Senate President - Harry
Bolvin, (D-Klamath Falls) said
it "sounds good and is much
better than moving the Navy
to Lake county." ,

Traffic Study in
Valley Desirable
Mayors of five valley towns
agreed last night that a valley
wide traffic study would be a
good thing, and indicated that
they would like to further ex
plore the idea. . ,
The informal ' agreement
came at a meeting with state
highway department officials
and personnel from the bu
reau of . municipal research
and ' the bureau of public
roads, in the Medford reserve
center. More than 25 city and
county officials attended the
meeting which had been call-
ed by Medford Mayor John
W. Snider and County Judge
Earl Miller.
Judge, Miller said that he
would. call another meeting in
the near future at which time
the . mayors of.. the various
cities, with the county court
and a representative from the
bureau of municipal research,
would determine whether
they definitely want to under
take a traffic study, and if so,
what the scope of the study
should be. - i
Existing Street Use
As outlined by . J. Al Head,
assistant traffic engineer for
the state highway department,
the study would first deter
mine existing street use, and
conditions In- the valley,
Second, it would determine
deficiencies In the existing
valley street system and pro
ject future highway travel for
as far ahead as 1985
xmrd, it would come up
with a transportation plan de
signed to meet future traffic
needs on a valley-wide basis
A fourth step would be to
sell this plan to the voters of
the various political subdivi
sions in the valley,
All Pari of Study
The study would roughly
encompass an area stretching
from north of Central Point to
south of - Ashland and from
foothills to foothills. Talent,
Phoenix, Medford and Jack
sonville would all be a part
of the study, along with the
unincorporated area in be
tween.' ., ... ., . . . , . ..
The mayors of , all these
cities, with the exception of
Central Point, were present'
at last night's meeting, with
members of the various plan
ning commissions and other
city officials,
Head said the study would
take about three years to com
plete. If Bear Creek valley
communities decide ' to go
anead with it, he said, it could
start later this year ind end
In 1964. , i
Similar Studies
Similar studies are in prog
ress or are planned in the
Portland, Salem and Eugene
areas.
Each political subdivision
would be responsible . for
undertaking certain aspects of
the study within, their juris
dictions, and would bear their
cost. Studies which covered a
broader area and which would
be too much for Individual
cities or the county to handle,

such as a projection of future

would be done by the state

The study itself would be

study in the Salem metropoli
tan area will cost an estimated
$224,000. Of this, the state.
using planning funds provid
ed by the bureau of public
roads, will pay about 75 per
cent, and Salem and other
agencies in the area will bear
their proportional share of the
remainder.
