Area Employment
"Continues to Show
Rise During May
May continued to show im
provement in local employ
ment noticed in the past few
months, according to John J.
Patton, manager of the Med
ford office of the state em
ployment service. ,
Job opportunities continued
a seasonal rise in number, and
the level of unemployment
showed a further decline as
people returned to work. . .
At the end of May, the per
centage of insured unemploy
ment in the county was 4.4
per cent, compared to 7.6 per
cent unemployed in May,
' 1961.
Patton said that for the
11th consecutive month, the
local office filled more non-agricult-
ral jobs than was the
case in me same month a year
earlier.
"This is a good indication
of the relatively higher level
of employment activity in
this county," Patton said.
Many students are now
looking for work, he noted.
This group offers a source of
help for vacation relief or ex
tra seasonal help, Patton said.
Agriculture is beginning to
develop some labor demand
with current jobs for berry
pickers, onion hoers and
peach and pear thinning in
the near future, Patton said.
Work is expected to con
tinue a moderate but steady
increase through June and
July, he added.

Collier Nominated
For Reelection by
Both Major Parties
Yreka - State Sen. Ran
dolph Collier was virtually
reelected yesterday when for
the sixth consecutive time he
won the nomination of both
the Democratic and Republi
can parties.
Collier's name was listed
only on the Democratic ballot,
since cross filing was abolish
ed in California in 1959. But
a write-in campaign launched
last week netted hiro enough
votes on the Republican bal
lot to give him that party's
nomination as well. -
In one of two contested Sis

Smith not only cornered the
necessary 40 per cent plural
ity in the six-man race for the
nod but had votes to spare.
Charles Herndon of Salmon
ran a poor second and John
G. Walters of Boise was third.
Also dumped by the Demo

been reelected over his op
ponent, Henry E. McNeil. Un
official returns from most of
the county's 86 precincts gave
Cottar a 7,155 to 3,794 lead.
Other Contested Elections
In the other contested race,
Helen Walters, county tax
collector, was leading her op
ponent, James Rea, 5,796 to
2,3,63 in unofficial returns
from 68 precincts. Eight other
county officers were running
unopposed.
Senator Collier was unop
posed on the Democratic bal
lot, and there were no candi
dates at all on the Republican
ballot. In order to gain the
Republican nomination he
needed write-ins-equivalent to
1 per cent of the total votes
cast for the office in the last
general election.
Returns from Siskiyou and
Del Norte county about 80
per cent complete gave Col
lier 784 write-in votes on the
Republican ticket, about 20
per cent of the total vote cast
at the last general election.
On the Democratic ballot.
Collier had received 2,397
votes in Del Norte county in
partial returns. Siskiyou coun
ty Democratic figures were
unavailable this morning.
Appear on Ballot
Collier's name will appear
on the November ballot as the
Democratic-Republican nomi
nee. It is possible for an inde
pendent to run in that elec
tion but conditions for filing
as an independent in the gen
eral election are execeedingly
stiff, and receiving the nomi
nation of both parties in the
primary is considered tanta
mount to election.
Tabulation of ballots in Sis
kiyou county was progressing
slowly this morning, and com
plete returns were available
only from Hornbrook.
Collier received 94 Demo
cratic votes for state senator
in Hornbrook, Cottar defeated
McNeil for sheriff 130 to 51,
and Mrs. Walter beat Rea for
tax collector 113 to 64.
In state-wide races, Horn
brook voters cast 52 votes for
Richard Nixon. 11 for Joseph
Shell and 83 for Edmund G.
Brown for governor, 39 for

The sources said the two
space giants also have agreed
to join in a project to measure
the earth's magnetic field and

Wall Street, which had been
slow to assess the possible

program to go before Con

rumors that such a cut might
come earlier.
But in Washington, Presi

the President might be ready
to ask Congress for an im

with the President at his news
conference Thursday.
Meeting Routine

In her letter to the bar as

"As far as I know nobody

The man who narrowly lost
the presidency in 1960 turn
ed back the challenge of state
assemblyman Joseph Shell, a
conservative, by about a 2-1.
margin in yesterday's primary
election. But Shell refused to
endorse Nixon and said he
would not accept a post in
any Nixon cabinet.
In returns from 20,390 of
the state's 31,212 precincts,
Nixon had 679,256, Shell 360,
952. Brown tallied 935.023.
compared to the combined
total of 154,722 for his three
little-known opponents.
Miller Urges Unity
Republican National Chair
man William E. Miller called
on Shell to rally his support
ers behind Nixon and insure
"a smashing defeat of the
Democratic incumbent."
In another spirited primary
contest, U.S. Sen. Thomas H.
Kuchel (R) won easy nomina
tion and will face State Sen.
Richard Richards (D) in the
run-off in November.
Kuchel was leading his two
conservative opponents by a
better than 0-1 margin.
Congressmen Win

two members of the John

Rep. John Rousselot (R) and
Edgar W. Hiestand (R) of. Los

Partisan nominees for eight
new congressional districts
also were selected. These re
sulted from California's boom
ing population growth in the
1950-eo decade.
Nixon expressed confidence
that California Republicans
will rally behind him in the
fight ahead. ' ,
Formidable Task
The 49-year-old former vice
president faces a formidable
task in the fall. But the re
wards are great control of
the nation's most heavily pop
ulated, plus leadership of a
potent political force in 1964
when the presidency once
again will be at stake.
California's registration
favors Democrats by almost
3-2. The-Shell-Nixon results
showed a definite cleavage in
GOP ranks between conserva
tives and moderates-a split
Nixon hopes to heal in the
months ahead.
