Local Employment
Trend Improving
Unemployed People
Still a Problem
The employment trend for
April showed a definite im
provement over March, ac
cording to John J. Patton,
manager of the Medford of-
nce of the Oregon State Em
ployment service.
The back to work trend ap
peared to be well established
by the end of April although
there were still a large num
ber of unemployed people,
Patton noted. At least some of
this payroll effect was felt by
the retail trade where new
hiring also began.
"A considerable portion of
this improvement took place
late in the month after a spell
of dry weather made it pos
sible for outside work to re
sume. This pick-up included
logging and construction,"
Patton summarized.
Job placements continued
at the same pace as in March.
There was little call for un
skilled help. Most of the de
mand was for clerical, skilled
or semi-skilled workers, the
employment service manager
noted. '
"Good stenographers . con
tinue to be in short supply,"
Patton said. VThis year there
will be a number of good
prospects among the senior
Medford High school gradu
ates who will be looking for
permanent employment. These
young applicants are register
ing with the state employment
service and will be given pro
ficiency tests. Inquiries' are
invited from employers who
expect to have openings in
this occupation after school is
out in June."
A heavy migration of peo
ple through this area looking
for new permanent locations
has started again and won't
let up until late fell Pttbn
remarked. Most of these peo
ple are from large, manufac
turing areas where changes in
technology or large popula
tion growth has caused them
to move,- he explained,, . ,4,
Relatively few people are
are able to locate in this area
due to lack of job opportuni
ties at this time of year. .
The temporary extended
compensation program was
applied to 259 claims during
the first month of operation.
The rate is expected to drop
rapidly as work continues to
open up, he said.

Post Established
To Aid Kennedy
Agency Will Deal
With World Crises
Washington - iUPD ' -' The
State Department Saturday
disclosed that a round-the-
clock command po: ' has been
set up to help President Ken
nedy deal faster with crises
like those that erupted in
Cuba and Laos. ,
It said a new "special oper
ations" center will be manned
on a 24-hour basis to sift
minute-by-minute U.S. intelli
gence data and make sure
that Kennedy's orders are
being carried out.
Theodore C. Achilles, for-
most State Department coun
selor, was picked to head the
nerve center. Kennedy's
brother-in-law - 33 -year -old
Stephen E. Smith-was named
as special assistant to Achil
les. It was the latest in a series
of steps by the President to
overhaul U.S. intelligence op
erations in the wake of the
ill-fated Cuban invasion.
Kennedy has named Form
er Army Chief of Staff Max
well Taylor to conduct' a
study of paramilitary oper
ations which include intelli
gence and guerrilla - type
activities.
Earlier this week Kennedy
appointed James R. Killian.
former science adviser to
President Eisenhower, to head
a reactivated intelligence
review board.
Cuba, Viet Nani
The new unit in the State
Department, formed about
two weeks ago, will focus on
the situation in Cuba and
Communist-threatened South
Viet Nam at first.
Officials said the perma
nent staff of the special oper
ations center will include rep
resentatives of Defense and
State Departments, and the
Central Intelligence Agency.
It is possible, they said, that a
representative of the U.S. in
formation agency may be in
cluded.' " ,; .
The operation center, ac
cording to State Department
Press Officer Robert McClos
key, "will gather on a 24 hour
basis all intelligence and op
erational data available to
the United States government
regarding situations of urgent
concern."
He said: "It will be respon
sible for seeing that recom
mendations with respect to
these situations are made
promptly to the secretary and
through him to the President
and for seeing that their de
cisions are promptly imple
mented." Pond Mishap Claims

ed Saturday.

Over Eichmann Effect '
Jerusalem, Israel - (UPD -The
Israeli government,
which already has spent an

For Reelection Here
Campaign lines were sharp

Robert G. Davis, newly ap

he said, !'The 1962 . campaign

Urges Defeat .
Davis urged the defeat of
U.S. Sen. Wayne Morse (Dem.-
Ore.) and U.S. Rep. Al Utt-
man (Dem.-Ore.) but did not
say who would run against
them from the Republican
ranks. ., . , -
The Republicans need only
two seats in the state legisla
ture to become the majority
power mere, Davis pointed
out. "The governor has had an
extremely difficult ' time in
get ting effective legislation
through," he said pointedly,
He noted the strife among the
Democratic leaders in the
state legislature and said this
should make it easier for the
Republicans.
The governor built further
on the theme set by Davis. He
praised State. Rep. John Del
lenback, Medford Republican
as "the most promising fresh
man legislator," and noted
that Sen. Lyndel Newbry,
Talent Republican, "fitted in
very quickly.
Attacks Democrats
The governor attacked the
Democratic party in rapid
fire succession. He criticized
them for creating a "head
tax" and for fiscal irresponsi
bility.
He stressed the Republican
aims of fiscal and social re
sponsibility through promo
tion of mental health clinics,
a state civil rights program
and his attack on the con
stantly rising state welfare
commission e x p e n diture's."
Hatfield repeatedly empha
sized the missile plant site at
Boardman in eastern Oregon
as his administration's at
tempt to develop Oregon eco

He also stressed the medical
research programs at the Uni
