King-Anderson Bill
By Physicians at Kiwanis Club
"This will hurt medicine
Yo:. as patients will be the
ones who suffer.
So declared Dr. Ralph
Hibbs in a Wednesday pre
sentation to Medford Kiwanis
club concerning the King-Anderson
medical care bill.
Dr. Hibbs and Dr. John
Weisel, Medford physicians,
speaking to Kiwanians at
Rogue Valley Country club,
expressed the American Med
ical association point of view
toward the proposal which
would- provide medical care,
through social security, for
persons 65 years of age or
over.
Dr. Hibbs said the bill
brings up the question of "do
you want the government to
go into health." He reported
that the bill controls hospitals,
the workshops of medicine
and thereby is a "toe-hold"
into socialized medicine.
Small Group of Needy
The doctor stated that there
Is Just a small group of needy
but that the proposed bill cov
ers some 17 million people to
take care of 2 million. He
maintained that a tragedy of
the bill is that it will not take
care of those who need it,
since a great percentage of the
needy group are not recipients
of social security.
Dr. Hibbs said other1 trag
edies are that the bill covers
only 25 per cent of medical
costs and provides Just for
hospitalization, nut doctors'
fees, and that "the poor wage
earner" is going to be charged
for hospitalization of persons
who can afford it.
He maintained that with so
cialized medicine "you're go
ing to have poor quality medi
cine." Medical care cannot be
regulated, according to Dr.
Hibbs. "You've got to have
competition. You've got to
strive to help people bettor
than the next guy." He indi
cated that the efforts to so
cialize medicine are causing
applications to medical
schools to go down.
Provides Medical Aid
Dr. Weisel explained that
the Kerr-Mills law provides
medical aid to the aged on the
basis of need, while the King-
Anderson bill would provide
care on the basis of age and so
cial security eligibility alone
through a compulsory payroll
tax. He expressed the opinion
that the Kerr-Mills law gives
medical care for people over
65 who really need it. The
doctor remarked. "They get
the whole works if it
needed."
Dr. Weisel said that not so
many people get the care as
has been maintained and
"there is not the need that
we've been told exists." He
stated that he feels that the
doctors are doing a good Job
and that the King-Anderson
bill it not a way to improve
on it
He rapped the tactics of the
administration in trying to
force the bill through as un
Just and said that more study
is needed. Dr. Weisel objected
to tax funds being used to
lobby for the bill, and to the
free television time being
given to the measure while
doctors, to present their side,
have to pay out of their own
pockets.
It Is "Good Attempt"
Asked if the bill is a polit
ical measure to buy votes, Dr.
Weisel replied that it is a
"good attempt."
Medford Kiwanis president
presented lapel pins to new
members of the club, Adam
Richter, assistant manager of
the Medford branch of the
U.S. National bank, and Tom
Lorenz, manager of the Imper

BABY HIPPO - To the apparent delight of Its mother, the
St. Louis zoo's new baby hippopotamous takes a few cautious
steps in one of its infrequent outings from the pool in the

swim from birth but needs the gentle nudging of its mother
to advance on land. As soon as its sex is determined, the zoo

Fewer Applications Are
Filed for Hauling Logs
Salem The number of ap
plications to the public utili

to haul logs, poles and piling
has reduced sharply since
April 1, when new legislation
requiring truckers to apply
for a certificate of necessity
became effective.
The PUC announced last
week that between Jan. 1 and
April 1 th commission pro
cessed proofs of operation by
2.634 truckers. Permits were
granted to 2.376. The remain
ing 258 were denied mainly
because adequate proof of op
erations were not in evidence,
the PUC said. An additional
494 truckers who could have.
did not apply for any hauling
rights.
A total of 141 made formal
application for permits to op

granting or denying the appli

Most of the applications have

for or as amended. The cases
have been dismissd, and five
have been denied.
One Case Denied
One of the cases denied was
submitted by Phillip R. Tur
pin of Talent. He had applied
for hauling rights in Jackson
and contiguous counties, but
failed to prove he could fill
a need that could not he met
by other carriers In the area
who already are permitted
and have Idle equipment.
Other hearings are being
held to consider the transfer
of permits and requests for
extension of authority beyond
that already granted.
The recent law, passed by
the 1961 legislature, contains
a base year which ended Feb.
1, 1961. Truckers who op
erated during the base year
and could prove it were auto
matically granted permits to
operate.
Others are rtqiiiu-o o

If their requests are protested
by truckers already permit
ted, they must go through a
formal hearing, and prove
therj' is a need for their serv
ice that cannot be met by
truckers already In operation,
the PUC noted.
The law is designed to re
duce a surplus of haulers, pre
venting truckers from moving
around the stale, and slopping
out-of-state haulers from nmv-
Oig into Oregon during the
few good logging months, the
PUC explained. Th. is ac

permittee specific counties
within which they may haul
from and to their loading and

Timber Harvest
In State Declines
For Second Year
Timber harvest in Oregon
has declined for the second
consecutive year, according to
log production rates released
by Dwight L, Phipps, state
forester. This is the lowest
volume harvested since 1949,
he pointed out. The total fig
ure was 7,410,683,000 board
feet.
There has been a decline in
annual average Oregon harv
est since 1952, when 9,802,
471,000 board feet were cut,
Phipps noted. Other maxi
mum harvest years have been
1955 and 1959, with 9,719,-
878,000 and 8,864,315,000
board feet harvested, respec
tively. Maximum harvest
years have been 1949, 1957,
and 1961.
In the last two years total
production figure in Oregon
has dropped some 1,453 mil
lion board feet, have de
creased about 736 million
from 1960 and 717 million
from 1959, Phipps reported.
Jackson County Cut
Board feet cut in Jackson
county during the year to
taled 424,726,000. Josephine
county listed a total harvest
of 140,491,000 board feet.
Lane county claimed the
lead in log production for
the year, with Douglas coun
ty in second place and Linn
county in third.
A breakdown of production
by land ownership shows that
the national forests of Oregon
provided 2,442,600,000 board
feet, while the Indian service
produced 40,190,000 board
-;et. The greatest cut came
from private lands, from
which nearly five billion
board feet was harvested,
Phipps said.

Mt. Ashland Loop
Road Still Closed
Because of Snow
The Mt. Ashland Loop road
still is blocked by drifted
snow, but many other roads
are now open in the Rogue
River National forest, accord
ing to the forest's weekly re
creation report.
By districts, the report is:
Applegate D i s 1 1 i c t All
roads except the Ashland
Loop road are open and in
good shape. All trails are free
of snow except for those in
the high country.
Logging trucks are using
all major roads.
Campgrounds are all In
good shape, with McKce,
Jackson, and Beaver Sulphur
receiving heavy use on week
ends. The river is suitable for
swimming, but chilly.
Fishing is reported as fair
on the Applegate and good
on most of the streams.
Ashland D i s t r i c t Last
week's weather and school va
cation combined to send peo
ple to the woods for the first
week end of heavy recreation
use on the district this season.
Fishing at Fish lake is good,
but stream fishing remains
poor. All campgrounds are
open for use. Cabins and
trailer space may be rented at
the Fish lake resort.
The road from Fish lake to
Lake of the Woods is open,
but rough.
The Mt. Ashland Loop road
still is blocked by snowdrifts
15 feet deep above Bull Gap.
Bulte Falls District W i 1-
low Prairie and Snowshoe
campgrounds have been ex
panded and are ready for use.
Twelve new tables and stoves
have been added. The water
systems for the campgrounds
will be completed in July. All
other campgrounds are open.
Water Supply Is
Subject of Meeting
The story of Pacific Power
and Light company's success
ful search for an industrial
water supply that brought a
large new payroll to the Coos
Bay area will be a feature of
the June 18 meeting of the
Rogue Valley Section of the
Professional Engineers of Ore
gon in Medford.
C. P. (Ted) Davenport, a
PP&L engineer assigned to
the industrial water project
from its inception in 1954,
will outline the seven-year
research and development
program that culminated in
the mid-1961 opening of the
Mcnasha Corporation's pulp
and paper mill.
Through investigation and
research, PP&L engineers de
veloped an underground re
servoir of fresh water that
brought in the pulp and paper
plant and created 150 new
jobs. In addition to a $400,
000 annual payroll in the
Coos Bay-North Bend area,
thousands of dollars are paid
to local wood suppliers for
pulpwood, principally alder
which had been considered a
"weed tree."
Davenport's presentation
will include a number of pho
tographic slides on the sand
dunes studies.
The meeting will start with
a social hour at 6 p.m., fol
lowed by a dinner at 7 p.m
Monday, June 18. at Ping's
Garden in Medford.
Warm weather has brought
out the mosquitoes, and insect
repellent is recommended
when in the district. All low
elevation roads are open and
in good condition.
The Blue Rock road still is
blocked with snow about one
half mile below the saddle.
Snow depth in Blue Canyon
varies from two feet to more
than eight feet in the drifts.
Fishing was reported poor at
Blue lake.
Prospect District All
roads except high elevation
and some side roads should
be in good condition this
week end, but will be dusty.
Fishing is slow, with the
smaller streams producing
the most fish, the greater
number of which are small.
The temperature is pleas
ant in the sun, but shady
spots are cool and so are the
nights. People planning to
camp overnight should be pre
pared with warm clothes and
blankets.
The nosee-ums are out now
and they're biting much bet
ter than the fish.
Union Creek District For
est roads on the Union Creek
district are closed by snow
at elevations above 5,000
feet.
Tourists are advised to use
caution on the lower portions
of the Huckleberry Mt. and
National-Wizard access roads
because of heavy logging
truck traffic.
A welcome change in the
climate has brought warm
weather and clear skies, mak
ing fishing conditions ideal.
Reported catches are many
and good.
With the exception of
Huckleberry Mt., all camp
grounds are now open.
Beckies Cafe is now open
5:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. stand
ard time. Tourist accommoda
tions are available at the
Union Creek Resort. Supplies
and gas may be purchased
from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. stand

Vacations, Seattle World's Fair
Boost Local Hotel, Motel Business
Vacation time and the op
ening of the Seattle World's
Fair have combined to give
hotel and motel owners in
the Rogue valley an extra
boost in business.
Owners report increases
In business of from 10 per
cent to 120 per cent, de
pending on their location.
One motel estimated a 200
per cent increase over last
year.
Some motels in the area,
however, said their business
was not up because of a
steady patronage by com
mercial men.
Most proprietors reported
that between 30 and 60 per
cent of their business is in
travelers going to and from
the Seattle World's Fair
The valley average Is about
50 per cent Fairgoers. i
Business has 'been in
creasing since the Fair op
ened, and some estimate
that it won't' die down until
early October. Cars have
been reported from as far
away as New York, Con
necticut, and Florida, but
many feel the greatest num
ber of travelers are from
California.
Hotels, which have a ca
pacity for booking tours,
reported that they see a
large increase in business
continuing throughout the
summer because of the
tours. One hotel said one
tour is expected from Flor
ida, and that correspon
dence is being carried on to
book others.
Another hotel, with a ca
pacity of about 200 people,
has booked 181 tours dur
ing the summer. This would
result in the patronage of
about 7,200 people, all of
whom are en route to or
from the Fair.
Representatives of the ho
tels added that members of
the tours are In many cases
older people. People from
Hawthorne, Calif., who
stayed in a local hotel June
13, called themselves the
"Senior Gadabouts."
Motel business, while not
catering to tours as the ho
tels do, have many family
units staying with them.
This has been noted espe
cially on week ends when
families seem to be on the
road.
One motel operator, who
has had tourists from many
states, commented that all
were excited about the Fair,
and were impressed with
Oregon scenery on their
way through.
Among groups traveling
through Medford on their
way to the Seattle World's
Fair will be 85 high school
