Robert Wampler
Tells Candidacy
For Governor
Former Policeman
Calls Convention
Oregon City-(UPD-A Clacka
mas county deputy sheriff,
Robert H. Wampler, Tuesday
announced his candidacy for
governor on the Independent
ticket.
He figured in a highly pub
licized case in 1958, when he
was dismissed as a patrolman
with the state police for in
subordination, and unauthor
ized discussions of state police
policy.
Wampler, 46, said he will
seek the nomination through
a convention of electors July
17 in Milwaukee.
Little Used Method
This is a little used method
of nomination which requires
the gathering of at least 250
voters. If 250 or more sign
a petition, the person who
called the convention is nomi
nated on the November ballot.
Wampler figured in an Oc
tober, 1958 state police board
inquiry. The board found him
guilty on the two counts,
and he was fired. He had
been working in the state
police Milwaukie office since
1956, and had been a state
policeman for some years in
the 1940s, leaving the force
for a period. '- -. .
A few days after the 1958
dismissal, he became a Clack
amas county deputy sheriif.
Wampler said this is his
first bid for elective office.
He changed his party registra
tion Tuesday at the Clacka
mas county courthouse from
Democrat to Independent.
The convention of electors
is scheduled for 7 p.m. July
17 at the Victory Theater in
downtown Milwaukie. Wam
pler said he doesn't expect
"any difficulty" in getting the
proper number of signatures.
He said he prefers to hold
up a statement of platform
and campaign principles until
he actually gets the nomina
tion. He named as his cam
paign committee chairman
Ralf Erlandson, Milwaukie
attorney.

Demands
Threaten To Topple
Truce in Algeria
Algiers-IUPD-A shaky truce
between Algerian Nationalists
and segments of the Secret
Army Organization (OAS) was
threatened with collapse to
day over demands that Euro
peans be appointed to Nation
alist security forces immedi
ately. Signs of disagreements in
both camps over terms for
European cooperation with a
future Moslem-dominated Al
geria added to the confusion.
There were growing fears
that Algeria would be plung
ed into a new wave of violence
and bloodshed before the in
depence referendum 11 days
from now.
Jean-Jacques Susini, chief
spokesman for the OAS in
the Algeris area, demanded in
a clandestine broadcast Tues
day night that Europeans be
recruited in the new security
force within 48 hours.
Susini said that unless this
was done the exodus of Euro
peans from Algeria "would
become exorable" and force
the OAS "to turn strategic re
gions into forts."

S A Activities To
Be Curtailed If
Funds Not Raised
Salvation Army activities
in the Rogue valley will be
"drastically curtailed" if the
building fund campaign, to
end June 30, does not reach
the required $137,185, Rich
ard F. Hensley, campaign
chairman, said today.
The drive has started a 10
day period of intensive public
solicitation of funds. The
money is needed to pay for
repairs at the Salvation Army
shelter caused when a frozen
water pipe broke last winter
and to replace the headquar
ters and community center
which was condemned by the
city as unsafe for occupancy.
Hensley stressed that if the
money is not raised by July 1,
operating funds will have to
be used to repay obligations
for repairing the building. Sr.
Capt. William Sicken, com
manding officer of the Med
ford corps, added that unless
construction starts soon on
the needed building, the
youth and adult programs will
not have a place to meet this
fall.
Three campaign divisions
will handle public solicitation,
Hensley said. They are the
advance gifts division to con
tact prospective donors of
gifts in excess of $1,000: the
business and professional di
vision to seek pledges from in
dividuals and firms, and the
community gifts division to
organize programs in other
Rogue valley communities.

Structure Planned
In Northeast Part
Of City By 1965
Present Building To
Be New Junior High
The Medford school board
last night decided by a 3 to 1
vote to construct a new 2,000-
student capacity high school
on a 35-acre site off Crater
Lake highway south of Rob
erts rd.
The board also voted, this
time unanimously, to retain
the architectural firm of
Payne and Struble, pending
negotiations that certain de
tails can satisfactorily be
worked out.
The proposal approved by
the board calls for a school
plant in excess of $3.5 million,
and will include classroom
space for 2,000 students in
1965. Money to finance con
struction of the new high
school will be from a bond is
sue which probably will be
submitted to district voters
this fall.
The exact amount of the
bond issue will not be known
until after architect's plans
have been prepared. The
board has yet to decide just
wnat type ol plant it should
be.
The structure will be built
with heating plant, cafeteria,
office space, library, and oth
er . such facilities to serve an
eventual capacity of 2,500 stu
dents. Plan Approved ' ' '
This is the plan approved
by the board:
-The new building will be
built for 2,000 students.
-The industrial arts shops
will not be built at this time,
but will be a part of the mas
ter plan of eventual construc
tion. The present industrial
arts section of the high school,
and four adjacent classrooms,
would be termed the high
school annex.
-About 850 students would
be assigned to each Hcdrick
and McLoughlin Junior High
schools. Another 850 would
be housed in the present high
school building, which would
become a junior high.
-In addition, special educa
tion classes would use facili
ties at the present high school.
-Rooms at McLoughlin
Junior High would be re
modeled to bring them up to
state standards, reducing fur
ther the unused student ca
pacity created by the new
high school.
Students Transported
In using the classrooms and
industrial arts shops at the
present building, about 200
students would be transported
to and from the annex each
morning and afternoon. The
facilities would serve up to
400 students each day.
The school board pointed
out that the four academic
classrooms would be sched
uled to have classes in other
required subject areas, such
as algebra, geometry, Ameri
can history and problems,
English and study hall.
The board noted, too, that
this arrangement provides
flexibility, should the occa
sion arise in the future, to
return the present structure
to a second high school fa
cility with little cost.
William Barker is the only
board member to register a
negative vote on the proposal.
His vote was based on the
principle that he could not
conscientiously approve the
proposal when he was not
fully convinced that the one
high school system was better
than a two high school sys
tem. Drs. Keith Goldhammer
and Clarence Hincs of the
bureau of educational re
search, University of Oregon,
in August, 1961, recommend
ed two high schools in Med
ford. Barker pointed out, how
ever, that the board has de
cided on a high school pro
posal, and the board's decision
will receive his full support.
The plan docs not Include
an auditorium, nor does it in
clude an athletic stadium.

Employers Blame
Picketing Practice
Portland - il'PD - Four con
tractors' groups said today
they will close down all con
struction projects involving
iron workers in Oregon and
Southwestern Washington, ef
fective at midnight Friday, if
no agreement is reached.
The iron workers went on
strike Muy 28 in a wage dis
pute with the building and
heavy and highway divisions
of the Associated General
Contractors, the Portland
Wire and Iron Fabricators As
sociation, the Eugene Con
tractors Association and nu
merous independent con
tractors. Pickets were placed at some
projects, but union business
representative John J. O'Hal
loran said that was done only
when employers attempted to
use other workers on jobs
normally performed by iron
workers.
Statement Issued
The four employers' groups
issued a brief statement here
which said:
"Due to spasmodic picket
ing practices of the Iron
Workers Union, Local 29, the
employers . . . have decided
to close down all work in
volving projects having iron
work effective midnight Fri
day." A spokesman for the em
ployers estimated the move
would involve 25,000 con
struction workers, plus the
700 iron workers already out
on strike.
The spokesman said work
on $50 million worth of proj
ects has been stopped by pick
eting, and the total closure
will affect projects worth
about $100 million.
The two sides were sched
uled to hold a negotiating ses-
sion here todav with federal
mediator Georee v. Walker.
-
O'Halloran said many inde-v
pendent contractors have
signed a one-year agreement
providing wage increases of
38 cents an hour and other
benefits. The one-year con
tract set a wage scale of $4.25
an hour for structural iron
workers and $4.10 for rod-
men.
AutoSafefy-Check
Scheduled June 23
A safety-check for automo
biles, free to the public, will
be conducted Saturday, June
23, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on
the lot previously occupied
by the Anderson Thrift mar
ket between South Central
ave. and South Riverside ave.
The safety-check is sponsor
ed by the Medford Lions club
and members of the club will
man the station for checking.
The safety-check program
is being done through the Inter-Industry
Highway Safety
committee and Look maga
zine.
The check will include in
spection of brakes, lights,
steering, tires, exhaust, glass,
wipers, mirrors and horn,
and is done on national stan
dards. The inspections are being
held as a community service
and all interested persons
are invited to take advantage
of the service.
Because the lot on which
the inspections will be held
faces both South Central and
Riverside ave s ., motorists
may drive in from either side.
Medford city police will be
assigned to the drive-ins to di
rect traffic, according to Joe
Patella, who is co-chairman
with Rollln Watson. E. R.
Bashaw is club president.
mlt the auditorium on a sep
arate ballot since it may be
considered in conjun c t i o n
with a community auditor
ium which would serve a
larger number of people than
would be required for high
school student body use only.
The board indicated that
the auditorium question
would be discussed with val
ley residents interested in sup
porting a community project
which would have the ca
pacity to serve conventions
and other public events.
No athletic stadium is in
cluded in the plans since foot
ball games and track events
will be held in the present
stadium. A new grandstand
is now being erected on the
west side of the stadium to
accommodate larger crowds
at athletic events.
A basketball court, or a
multipurpose building, with a
seating capacity of 2,500 is
planned In the new plant.
