Land Trade in Eastern

Proposes Swap
For 'Better Use'
v Land Board Slates
Discussion May 23
Salem-IUPD-A request of the
Izaak Walton League to have
the state trade some of its
land in the Steens mountain
and Warner Valley areas to
the federal government and
open it up for "better multiple-use"
mangement will be
discussed May 23 by the Ore
gon Land Board.
Warner Valley is in Lake
county and the Steens Moun
tain area is in Harney county.
About 28,000 acres and 19,000
acres, respectively, would be
involved.
BLM Control Suggested
The league, contending the
land would fare better for
recreation under the federal
government, suggests putting
it under the U.S. Bureau of
Land Management. The league
- has passed a resolution to this
effect.
Multnomah District Judge
Carl D. Etling of Portland,
president of the league's Ore
gon division, said perhaps
some federally-owned lands at
Boardman in Morrow county
could be used in the exchange.
The Land Board is leasing
96,000 or more acres in the
Boardman area to Boeing Co.
of Seattle as a space age in
dustrial park.
Leased for Grating
The state now leases much'
of the Steens and Warner Val
ley areas for grazing. Stock
men are expected to protest
' any move to change their
leased lands from the state to
the BLM.
The May 23 conference will
include Izaak Walton League
officials, the State Game Com
mission, spokesmen for the
BLM, and some leasees in the
Lake and Harney county
areas.-, - - -

Has A Farm
Library Plans To
Reduce Service;
Cut Budget Noted
Letters Sent To
Friends, Officials
Letters have ' been sent to
more than 100 Friends of the
Public Library of. Medford
and Jackson County declar
ing that the library program
in Jackson county "is in seri
ous trouble." '
Robert ' D. Heffernan Jr.,
chairman of the Friends
group, said budget allocations
now proposed by the county
and city of Medford - would
mean that branch libraries
would have to reduce the num
ber of hours they are open
and the system would have
to lay off one employee.
Librarian Omar Bacon, in
a letter to mayors and coun
cil members in the county,
said the board of trustees de
cided it would be necessary
to reduce by two hours the
number of hours branch li
braries are open, eliminating
telephones in branch libraries
and used typewriters in five
branches, and lay off one employee.
Budget Requested
The budget requested for
the library is $120,754, but
the amount approved by the
county and city of Medford
totals $107,600.98, which is
$7,103.02 less than this year's
budget.
Heffernan said The seri
ousness of the situation is
doubly significant since the
use of the library is increasing
at an average rate of 27 per
cent and the branches at 107
per cent."
The number of users has
increased 1,600, or 40 per
cent, in 10 months above the
number automatically dropped
by the expiration of their
cards, ' he added.
He continued; "The budget
last year was supplemented
by a state grant of $27,000
for personnel, books and
equipment. Local funds were
not increased for books last
year because the state provid
ed the increase. This coming
year there will be no state
funds.
Increasing Contribution
"The county court is In
creasing their contribution
over a year ago by $12,954
and the city by $2,739. These
are commendable, but do not
begin to meet the need that
exists today, or the increase
to be expected."
Bacon said the Increase by
the county court is commend
able, "but does not compen
sate for the increased needs
for books, periodicals, tele
phones, typewriters and per
sonnel made necessary by
present and anticipated
growth."
Both Heffernan and Bacon
appealed to library patrons to
attend a public hearing on the
county budget June 27 to ex
press their views concerning
the library budget.

Howard Morgan
Wins Approval
Of Committee
Senate Must Still
Confirm Position
Bf A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
Washington - The nomina
tion of Howard Morgan, stall
ed for weeks by opposition
criticism, won a substantial
vote of approval today in the
Senate commerce committee.
The action represented a vic
tory for the liberal wing of
Oregon's Democratic party.
Morgan must still be con
firmed by a vote of the Senate
itself before he can take his
seat on the federal power
commission, but this is ex
pected to be relatively easy.
Under Fire ,
The rancher from Sisters,
Ore., and former Democratic
state chairman, came under
fire from Republican senators
for failing to list on govern
ment employment forms his
record of two arrests for
youthful incidents, one of
which was dismissed and the
other resulting in a $25 fine.
A sharply critical summary
of these incidents, circulated
by Sen. Andrew Schoeppel
(R-Kan.) in recent days, ap
parently failed to generate
enough opposition to block
the nomination. The commit
tee vote was taken in closed
session and not announced
pending a pool of absentees.
An aide said it was "a sub
stantial vote in favor" but
that there were some opposi
tion votes.
Morgan has been in Wash
ington for nearly two' months
awaiting Senate confirma
tion. Boivin Opposed
Oregon State Senate Presi
dent Harry Boivin is reported
to have attempted to under
mine Morgan's support for
the job. One leading Demo
cratic senator on the commit
tee told this reporter:
"The president of the state
Senate telephoned me several
times. He said Morgan was
not the candidate of Oregon
Democrats.'
Boivin, a member of the
more conservative wing of
tne party, and Morgan, a
liberal leader, have been in
opposite factions before. Mor
gan s nomination was recom
mended to President Kennedy
by Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.)'
and Sen. Wayne Morse (D
Ore.), both liberals.
Morgan's c o n f i r m a tion
would represent a triumph
for their forces, as well as
those of public power who
marshalled support for Mor
gan during the past week.

Excellence
The top scholars of Med
ford and St. Mary's high
schools - 29 of them - were
honored last night at a dinner
which is planned to be an an
nual affair.
One hundred eighty -seven
persons-almost 40 more than
expected - attended to honor
the scholars and to hear a talk
by Dr. John R. Richards,
chancellor of the state system
of higher education.
Richards' talk touched on
many of the successes, fail
ures, plans and problems of
higher education, but his em
phasis was on the quest for a
high state of excellence in
education.
In the 60s, there Is a more
serious attitude toward educa
tion than in the previous dec
ade, the chancellor said, with
more emphasis on learning
for learning's sake and a
growing awareness that there
is a place for the quiet, stu
dious type ot student as well
as for the extrovert. And he
said there is coming to be
more emphasis on reading,
writing, the broad study of
history, the new sciences and
Mathematics, and a renewtd

President Gets
Personal Message
From Soviet Boss
Russian Envoy
Delivers Note
Washing'ton-fllPD - President
Kennedy today received a per
sonal message from Premier
Nikita Khrushchev involving
U.S.-Soviet relations which
possibly could pave the way
for a meeting between the
two men.
Soviet Ambassador Mikhail
Menshikov handed Khru
shchev's note to Kennedy dur
ing a 30-minute meeting at
the White House.
Massage in Reply
Both the Americans and the
Russians said Khrushchev's
note was in reply to a mes
sage Kennedy wrote him last
Feb. 22, and whose contents
never have been disclosed.
The message was delivered to
Khrushchev in Siberia by
U. S. Ambassador Llewellyn
Thompson.
It was reported at the time
of delivery that the Presi
dent's message expressed con
fidence in Thompson as a dip
lomatic negotiator. One Mos
cow report said the note urg
ed Khrushchev to deal direct
ly with Thompson, a reflec
tion of the Kennedy adminis
tration's interest then in nor
mal, diplomatic negotiations
rather than summit meetings
Hope for Negotiations
However, the note also is
understood to have contained
Kennedy's expressed hope for
fruitful negotiations with the
Russians.
It has lain dormant since
then, while U.S.-Soviet rela
tions have deteriorated during
the Laotian and Cuban crises.
The fact that Khrushchev has
now chosen to answer it was
significant in view of the re
ports that Kennedy wants to
meet the Soviet leader in a
neutral European capital next
month.
Cambodia Asks for

Geneva - (UPD - The long

ed today with a plea from
Cambodian Prince Norodom

Four days late and boycot
ted by the pro-Western Royal
Laotian delegation, the open
ing session lasted less than an
hour;
In delivering the opening
address. Prince Norodom said
he hoped he expressed the
wishes of all present that the
conference would result in a
"satisfactory accord on Laos."
in Education Emphasized by Dr. Richards
social sciences, and on the
arts and music.
He said there also Is a new
emphasis on the need for hard
work, and on the real satis
factions it brings.
Then Dr. Richards review
ed what Oregon is doing in
higher education. One ap
proach is to arrange for
homogenous groups of stu
dents who work, In effect, as
a team, eliminating too wide
a spread of ability. Honors
colleges are an example of
this. At the same time inde
pendent study is being en
couraged among those who
will profit by it.
He also mentioned the use
of new technologies in teach
ing, using tapes and tele
vision and recordings, which
are "useful tools" In advanc
ing education.
But he emphasized that the
teacher-student relationship is
a basic one If education is to
be served, and a major Job Is
searching the country for the
best possible Instructors.
As to Oregon's success, Dr.
Richards reported that test

Demurrer Taken
Municipal Court Judge Ron
ald Rlcketts Monday took un
der advisement a demurrer
filed by Carl F. Kellenberger,
owner of the Yellow Cab com
pany, regarding an alleged
city code violation. , -
The judge gave the city of
Medford until Friday to sub
mit any further authority in
writing. .
Kellenberger appeared on
the charge that one of his
limousines had charged rates
below those filed with the
city. The city alleges that on
March 5 a limousine owned
by Kellenberger transported
an airplane crew of three from
the airport to a downtown
motel for $2, when, according
to rate schedule, it should
have been $3.
In his demurrer, Kellenber
ger charges that that section
of the city code was intended
to cover commercial passen
gers. He stated that members
of the airplane crew are not
passengers as contemplated by
the code. He said that "as a
licensed limousine service
with the Public Utilities Com
missioner, Yellow Cab Is al
lowed to make contract hauls
as set forth in the complaint
without making changes In
rates filed with them." .
despite the fact that there are
more of them, and the fact
that In past years , schools
were more selective about
their students.
"An Important phenome
non is that the young people
of today are learning to en
compass whole new areas of
knowledge not dreamed of a
few years ago," Dr. Richards
pointed out. Physics, he said,
has grown "from the slide
rule to the atom," history,
from a narrow view of west
em civilization to the history
of the entire world, language
from three or four at most, to
Instruction in 40 to 50 lan
guages, and mathematics to a
state far beyond that possible
in earlier days.
"We have not reached a
plateau In learning, we are
constantly challenged to go
further," he said. And he add
ed that we are proving this
can be done in a democracy,
with our own techniques,
without the harsh disciplines
of totalitarian regimes.
The biggest real failure of
high school and higher edu
cation, Dr. Richards declared,
Is if fact that not all young
people who could profit from

He estimated that 3,000 stu

who should go on In their
education fail to do so for one
reason or another, and that
this loss of 30,000 educated
men and women each decode
is a loss Oregon cannot con
tinue to afford.
But steps are being taken
here, too, the chancellor said,
In broadening the role of the
"teachers colleges" into lib
eral arts institutions, In the
creation of community col
leges, and In widespread
broadening of the scholarship

He emphasized the Impor
