'Belter Break for
Those at Bottom',
President Chicles
Program Opponents
New York -(UPD- President
Kennedy, on a torrid support
seeking mission to predomi
nantly Democratic New York,
Saturday night dedicated his
administration to gaining "a
better break lor those at the
bottom."
The President said the
prime goal of his administra
tion was helping "the unem
ployed, the hungry, the han
dicapped, those who are on
welfare, those who are illiter
ate, those who are denied
their full constitutional rights
by reason of their race or
color."
Early Birthday
In a speech prepared for
delivery to more than 18,000
well-wishers at an early-day
birthday party for him at
Madison Square Garden, Ken
nedy chided those who oppose
his legislative programs.
He quoted Grover Cleve
land as saying: "What's the
use of being elected or re
elected unless you stand for
something?"
"Our opponents," Kennedy
added, "prefer to be against
everything against every
new program, against every
appropriation, against every
attempt to help the individ
ual citizen find a better life
for himself and his family."
Kennedy's birthday party
speech topped off a busy day
during which he dashed about
in record heat seeking politi
cal support for his programs
especially medical care for
the aged.
Ailing Father
Kennedy, who also is sched
uled to give a major speech
in Madison Square Garden to
day in behalf of the contro
versial King-Anderson bill,
also visited his ailing father,
former Ambassador Joseph P.
Kennedy, for a second time
at a rehabilitation center.
As for Madison Square Gar
den, Kennedy said.:
"Most politicians when they
come to New York make their
headquarters at the Waldorf
mine is Madison Square
Garden."
Kennedy maintains a suite
which takes up almost a full
floor of the Carlyle hotel
where he stays whenever he
visits here. The Carlyle is one
of the city's most luxurious
hotels.
Carpenter Space
Shot Postponed
Cape Canaveral - (UPD - A
fresh outbreak of rocket
troubles Saturday forced the
United States to postpone the
triple-orbit space flight of As
tronaut M. Scott Carpenter
until next Thursday - the
fourth delay in less than two
weeks.
Federal space agency sci
entists said they found "irreg
ularities" in the flight control
system of Carpenter's giant
Atlas booster rocket, and that
the new two-day postpone
ment was necessary to make
the needed repairs.
The new difficulties crop
ped up even as technicians
worked overtime on an
around-the-clock schedule to
make the parachute landing
system of Carpenter's "Auro-
ra-7 space capsule more re
liable. Carpenter, who had been
scheduled to run through a
"simulated mission" test to
morrow, greeted the new de
lay with official calm.
"This gives me more time
to bone up on the flight plan,"
a spokesman for the national
aeronautics and space admin
istration (NASA) quoted him
as saying.

Jackson County Voters Reject Home
Rule; Miller, James Vie for Judge
A Home Rule Charter for
Jackson county was snowed
under in Friday's voting.
The vote was almost 3 to 1
against the proposal. The to
tal vote, complete but unoffi
cial, was 15,002 against the
charter, 5,064 in favor. The
total number of votes cast,
20,066, was the largest total
in any contest, and represent
ed 54.8- per cent of Jackson
county's 36,485 registered
voters. Some 500 absentee bal
lots bring the total voter turn
out to about 56.2 per cent.
Residents in the large area
south and southwest of Med
ford decisively rejected a pro
posal to be annexed to the
city. The vote was 702 against,
201 for annexation.
The campaign for and
against the charter proposal
was the most hotly contested
of any in the county. It was
supported by a citizens' com
mittee; opposed by another cit
izens' committee and by a
number of groups and organ
izations including the Jack
son County Democratic Cen
tral committee.
New Proposal
Many of the opponents
said they support the princi
ple of home rule, but oppose
this particular charier. It
would be possible for another
charter committee to be ap
pointed to draw up a new
proposal for a vote two years
from now, although it would
be up to the county court
to decide whether to do so.
Proposed charters were
also rejected in two other
counties.
Voters In Benton county,
defeated a charter with 2,831
for, 5,872 against. It was
somewhat similar to the Jack
son charter proposal, but dif
fered in several respects.
The other county voting
on a charter Sherman
voted it down 272 for, 496
agains.
Jackson county voters fol
lowed the statewide trend,
and voted against the 6 per
cent limitation change, 11
312 to 6,773, and for the leg-
lslative salary measure 11, -
919 to 6,782.

Hail Storms May
Have Hurt Fruit
Hail fell over much of the
valley Saturday following up
a light hail storm Friday
night, according to observers.
Some fruit damage may have
occurred.
Late Saturday afternoon,
hail in a variety of sizes ap
peared to fall over much of
the valley and particularly in
the north, northeast and
northwest sectors. None fell
in the Wagner Creek area
an orchardist reported. This
sector was hard hit a week
ago and hail did considerable
damage to the pears and
peaches in that area.
Ordinarily hail docs less
damage after the trees have
leafed out and protected the
fruit. However, Saturday aft-
tcrnoon a wind seemed to
blow the hail into the fruit,
an orchardist observed. Some
hail fell in the Coleman
creek area late Saturday afternoon.

Hunt for Downed

The air search in this area
for a light plane piloted by a

has been temporarily called
off only due to weather con
ditions, according to Ralph
McGinnis, assistant director
for the state board of aero
nautics.
The lumberman, James P.
Rogers,. left Ft. Bragg, Calif.,
last Saturday for Kelso,
Wash., but was not reported
missing until Thursday. He
last reported his position near
Medford.
Good Search
Most of the higher ground
in this area was covered by
clouds and rain showers Sat
urday. McGinnis exnlaineri
The search has been conduct
ed out of North Bend, Rose
burg and Springfield, he add
ed. He said a good search has
been conducted between here
and Canyonville, but not per
fect due to the weather. The
search was probably ground
ed in Roscburg, also, due to
the weather, McGinnis said.
During the third day of the
search McGinnis noted that
it had been snowing above
3,000 feet and giving the hills
a new coat of snow.
Habit Pattern
We are not sure where to
search. All we can do is to
make a general area search,"
the assistant aeronautics di
rector said. "We are working
on his general habit pattern.
He usually flew this route."
Up to Saturday Medford
aerial searchers had flown
about 30 hours, he said.
Another plane that had been
reported missing, on a flight
between Elko, Nev , and Med

in the day. The single engine
craft, piloted by O. R. Crea
