Miller Declares
County Budget
Close to Estimate
County Judge Earl Miller
said Friday that so far the
county's overall budget total
is close to his earlier esti
mate.
Without the new equipment
and maintenance of equip
ment fund of $190,811.18, the
budget now totals $3,648,219.
Combining the totals gives a
figure of $3,798,726. The
county judge had figured
earlier that all budgets as
presented would total $4,097,
909.28. Tho new overall total
places the budget $634,089.87
under the estimated receipts
or $4,283,204.87.
The county budget commit
tee figures it should have a
10 per cent margin (10 per
cent of the estimated re
ceipts.) So the current margin
of $634,989.87 is well within
the 10 per cent figure of
$428,320. ,
Based on Child
The current overall budget
total is based on allowing $10
per school census child. The
county currently is required
to contribute this amount to
aid the schools.
When the Jackson county
budget committee meets
Tuesday morning it will have
to establish an emergency
fund equivalent to 2 per cent
of the budget total. Judge
Miller estimates this at $90,
000. It will also have to evalu
ate the general county mis
cellaneous fund at a pro.
posed total of $211,994.76.
Tuesday morning must be
the final budget session be
cause the board of equaliza
tion starts its hearings Tues
day afternoon and requires,
the attendance of two mem
bers of the budget committee.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON
Week;
Solons Complete
Bulk of Work;
Face Pel Bills
By DOUGLAS GRIPP
United Praia International
Salem - IUPD - Members of
the 1961 Legislature chalked
up their 17th week late Fri
day and as they split for the
week end there were groans
and mumbling that ' surely
next week will bring final ad
journment.
Both houses will reconvene
Monday morning, the 120th
day. Nine more days would
make it the longest session in
Oregon history.
- Senate President Harry
Boivin looks for adjournment
sine die on Tuesday. House
Speaker Robert B. Duncan is
all for this.
rue solons, their eyes
bleary and their tails not so
busy any more, have the bulk
of their work out of the way,
But soundings continue on pet
bills which the authors con
sider "musts." . : :
Next week will bring a
final vote on western and
eastern Oregon timber tax re
forms; the "Little Landrum-
Grlffin" labor bill; the gov
ernor's amendment to let the
Navy stay on at Boardman;
salary increases for district
judges; and others, including
the last bit of frosting on the
1961-63 budget.
Sen. Daniel Thiel, co-chairman
of the Ways and Means
committee, says the budget
now shapes us as about $366
million - $7 million over the
$359 million offered by Gov.
Mark Hatfield.
Thiel said this is actually
only $727,000 over Hatfield's
recommendation, h o w e ver,
because the legislature had to
provide money for various
projects wanted by Hatfield
for which he provided no
money. .
Boazdman
These, Thiel said, include:
$900,000 for the Boardman
Industrial park; community
mental clinics; and more soil
conservation funds. Commun
ity colleges was another.
The Ways and Means com
mittee late Friday approved
$190,000 for a tax appeals
court, to hear only appeals on
tax squabbles. Appeals from
this body would go to the
Supreme Court.
Other highlights:
Salmon - $120,000 for
stream clearance, mainly on
the coast, won approval of
Ways and Means. The original
request was $1 million. The
work would help clear
streams, making it easier for
salmon runs to get through.
The allocation would be a 60
per cent state contribution
with the other 40 per cent
coming from local or other
sources.'
Capitol addition - Ways
and Means approved $250,000
to plan an addition to the
capitol building, plus re
modeling of parts of the pres
ent structure. This was in
lieu of Sen. Walter J. Pear
son's request for $1.5 million
to immediately build an ad
dition for offices of legislators
and hearing rooms, or the
rear of the capitol.
Racing - A bill requiring
that Oregon Racing commis
sion members and their em
ployes can hold no interest in
a race horse won unanimous
Senate approval and went to
the governor, who asked for
it.
Education - The Senate ap
proved a bill taking the depu
ty and assistant superinten
dents of public instruction off
the classified list of state em
ployes. Putting them on the
unclassified list makes it
easier for them to get raises.

Shepard Says Ride
Wasn't Long Enough
Grand Baham Island-flJPD-
Astronaut Alan B. Shepard
Saturday broke his public si
lence about his journey
through space and expressed
a complaint the flight wasn't
long enough.
The 37-year-old Navy com
mander,. now undergoing an
exhaustive physical checkup
here, issued a one-line state
ment about his journey.
The only complaint I have
was that the flight was not
long enough," Shepard said.
He will save the rest of his
public comments for a news
conference , in Washington
Monday after he meets with
President Kennedy.
Shepard was in excellent
shape today after his 15 mln
ute space ride from Cape Can
averal, 113 miles up and more
than 300 mUes downrange,
- Wearing a sport shirt and
slacks, he spent the morning
chatting with his six fellow
Astronauts" and Project Mer
cury officials. '
Robert tjilruth, the civilian
space agency's space task
force director, said Shepard's
entire flight went precisely ac
cording to plan and all sys
tems functioned perfectly.
Asked if the orbital flight
scheduled for later this year
would be expedited or delay
ed, he said that there will be
Approval of Latin
Aid Sum Expected
Washington-IUPD - All signs
indicated Saturday that Con
gress early this week will
hand President Kennedy ev
ery penny of the $500 million
he wants to help Latin Amer
ican countries but only after
open debate on the Cuban in
vasion fiasco.
The House-passed money
bill is expected to precepi
tate full discussion of Cuba
and the role played by the ad
ministration when it comes up
on the Senate floor.
Richard M. Nixon, defeat
ed Republican presidential
in a speech in Chicago last
night voiced a criticism which
may be echoed by some Re
publican senators wnen tne
appropriation come up Tues
day. . ,
"We shouldn't start things
unless we are prepared to fin
ish, them," Nixon said in
launching a campaign of
"loyal opposition" to the Ken
nedy administration. . '

no change in the program. But
it's obvious that certain events
of the last few days have not
slowed down the program."
Astronaut Malcolm Carpen
ter said Shepard was able to
see 1,600 miles through his
periscope at the highest point
Another astronaut, John
Glenn, said Shepard had no
difficulty in his long period
of weightlessnesses.
Shepard slept well during
the night despite the excit-
ment of his downrange flight
from Cape - Cannaveral. He
woke up feeling fine.
All seven space astronauts
are now on Grand Bahama.
Along with space experts,
they gathered today to hear
Shepard describe the flight it
self and his reactions. It was
in effect a "re-fly" of Friday's
mission, with Shepard telling
evexj detail from the moment
of luvoff until his capsule
landed in the water.
Doctors who are atttendlng
him described Shepard as be
ing in both excellent mental
and physical health. ,
"He's in the best of shape,
the best of health, the best
of spirits, and just like he was
beforehe left the Cape, only
happier," Project Mercury
flight surgeon Dr. William K.
Douglas said.
Shepard, who rode a bell-
shaped capsule 115 miles into
the sky in a 15-mtnute rocket
flight from Cape Canaveral
Friday, was undergoing one
of the most thorough medical
examinations a man has ever
received.
Doctors said one big thing
Shepard proved was that
weightlessness in space is a
"non-spectacular event."
As Expected '
Douglas said Shepard s re
action during five mimltes of
weightlessess was "just what
we expected from our experi
ence with the trainer."
In using the term "train
er," Douglas was referring to
a device which Shepard and
the six other astronauts used
to simulate space flight during
their two-year rehearsal for
Friday's flight.
Shepard's pulse went up
slightly but well within the
expected limit, Douglas said.
"That pulse certainly did not
go up as far as mine would
have," he said.
Project officials said Shep
ard's Redstone rocket per
formed beautiful as he rock:
eted to a top speed of 5,160
mile an hour.
