GOP Adopts List
01 10 Principles
At Bend Meeting
Hatfield Praises
Action of Group
Bend, Ore. -(UPC- The Ore
gon Republican convention
adapted a broad, ten - point
statement of principles here
Saturday which drew praise
from Governor Mark Hatfield
and other Oregon GOP lead-
The vote to adopt the one
page document was 130 to 6.
It will be filed, by law,
with the secretary of state's
office within five days.
The statement adopted was
virtually the same as a draft
proposed by the Republican
party growth committee that
had been working on the
statement for the past several
months. A dozen or more at
tempts to make minor chang
es from the floor were beaten
down by the delegates.
The words "and social"
were inserted into the tenth
item. They made it read Ore
gon Republicans believe that
"attempting to solve our eco
nomic and social problems
through give-away programs
destroys individual initiative,
self-reliance and tends to cor
rupt the moral fibre of the
nation."
Main Architect
At the same time, the main
architect of the statement,
Robert C. Ingalls, Corvallis,
charged that the Democratic
state convention in Salem
Tuesday and Wednesday fail
ed to follow the law. The
1961 law which ordered con
vening of both GOP and Dem
ocratic conventions called for
a "statement of principles"
from each party.
Ingalls said the Democrats
adopted a party platform in
stead, y
The main theme of "the
GOP statement is belief in a
limited form of government
while at the same time pro
vision for adequate aid for
the aged, ill, unemployed and
needy to restore them to pro
ductive citizenship.
Hatfield said he was pleas
ed that the principles set out
were broad, since the GOP
contains "many points of
view." a situation, he added,
which is good.
Delegation Objected
The entire Douglas county
delegation objected to the
statement as drawn, contend
ing two of the items contra
dicted one another. One calls
for aid to the aged and the
second one criticizes "give
away programs."
But state Rep. John Deilen
back. Medford, called them
"strongly affirmative'' and
not contradictory. He got a
big hand.
The Republicans, meeting
in convention for the first
time in more than 54 years,
also reelected state officers
and approved a $95,913 budg
et. Returned to office by unan
imous vote by the GOP state
central committee were Phil
Roth, Portland, chairman;
Mrs. Forrest Hedges, Grants
Pass, secretary; and Joseph
Burns. Hermiston, treasurer.
A fight developed over vice
chairman between incumbent
Mrs. Helen Daughtrey, Port
land, and Mrs. Delia Camp
bell. Salem, with Mrs. Camp
bell, wife of a physician, de
feating Mrs. Daughtrey on the
third ballot 29-11. They were
tied 20-20 on the first two
ballots.

Hillsboro Migrant
Labor Camps Hit
By OLCC Agents
Hillsboro - (I'PP - State li
quor control agents raided
two migrant labor camps
near here Friday, seizing li
quor and arresting two men.

The ' camps were at straw
berry farms near Hillsboro
and Cornelius. They housed
some 200 pickers, mostly from
California. The camps were
operated under contract.
Authorities said quantities
of beer and wine were con
fiscated.
A labor inspector said a
joint investigation was start

away.
He said they complained of
camp conditions and beatings
and said they were prevented
from leaving the camp.

Traffic Increase
Noted on Highway
O'Brien - Southbound traf
fic through the Redwood
Highway California Quaran
tine station on Highway 199
south of here increased by
more than 35 per cent last
month over June, 1961.
The June. 1962 total was
27,597 vehicles as compared
with 20.320 during the same
month last years.
A recent count of both
south and northbound traf
fic, made by the California
Division of Hhigways during
a 24-hour period, recorded a
total of 4.350 vehicles, indi
cating that twice as many cars
traveled northbound on Hign-
way 199 that day than those
going southbound. North'
bound traffic is not tallied at
the quarantine station.
A certain number of regu
lar commuters, including lo
cal vehicles and construction
trucks, were not included in
the June southbound traffic
figures. If this local traffic
were included, it would boost
the total by an estimated 3,
000 to 3,500 per month.
An estimated 45,000 south
bound vehicles are expected
to pass through the station in
July. This month and August
are considered to be the
months when most vacations
are taken.

A police search party re
turned to the town of Junnar,
25 miles west of the crash
site, and reported heavy rain
storms had made the forest
swampy and almost inacces
sible. The storm had been batter
ing the area early yesterday
when the plane, on a flight
from Sydney, Australia, to
Rome, was approaching Bom
bay for a landing.
Junnar Is in the same area
as Khed, where earlier uncon
firmed reports said the crash
took place. Yet another report
had placed the crasn sue at
Khapoli, 80 miles southeast
of Bombay.
No Americans were aboard
the plane.
The plane, with one of It
aly's most experienced pilots
at the controls, vanished only
minutes before it was to land
in a heavy rainstorm. Last
radio contact was at 4.000
feet over Aurangabad, 175
miles northeast of Bombay.
Keep Clear
The weather worsened then
and the airport declared a
"red alert" three hours later.
A Mideast Airlines Comet jet
airliner due to land 20 min
utes after the Alitalia plane
was told to keep clear and to
circle the area.
Later the Comet was per
mitted to land when its fuel
ran low.
The missing Douglas pet
disappeared in a region where
13 American journalists were
killed in a plane crash almost
13 years ago in almost iden
tical circumstances. That
plane, a Dutch KLM Constel
lation, also fell in a monsoon
rain.
While Indian navy planes
searched the sea and air force
planes and helicopters criss
crossed the Bombay area in
a search for the Italian plane,
an air force Canberra jet on
a routine crosscountry flight
also crashed in the torrential
rains. Its wreckage was found
about 175 miles from Bom
bay. The Alitalia plane was
scheduled to land at Bombay'
Santa Cruz airport at 12:05
a.m. (2:35 p.m. EDT Friday).

Snider Voids Sign
Variance Granted
By City Council
Medford Mayor John W.
Snider late Friday afternoon
vetoed a variance granted by
the city council Thursday
night which would have per
mitted the construction of a
sign at the entrance to Sis
kiyou Memorial Park, 605
Highland dr.
Lew Miles, proprietor of
Siskiyou Memorial Park, had
reauested the variance in or
der . to erect a 3 by 7 loot
illuminated advertising sign.
By city ordinance, signs of
that type are not permitted
in single-family residential
zones.
Though a council commit
tee had recommended against
granting the variance, the
full council voted by a 4 to
3 margin to allow the sign at
its meeting Thursday night.
In vetoeing the measure,
Mayor Snider said in part:
'In my opinion, advertis
ing signs are not a proper use
in residential districts, I be
lieve that a sign such as the
one contemplated by this var
iance would be inconsistent
with the character of the sur
rounding residential area and
would not be in keeping with
the purpose and intent of the
zoning ordinance.
"Further, I do not believe
that a sign of this type would
be consistent with either of
the two previous variances
under which Siskiyou Memo
rial Park is now operating.
I can appreciate the wish
of the property owner to use
this location for advertising
purposes, but in my opinion
this is not sufficient reason
to jeopardize the interests of
the other property owners !n
this section of the city."
The city planning commis
sion had earlier recommend
ed against granting the vari
ance. Miles then appealed the
matter to the city council.

Unsuitable weather was
blamed for the postpone
ment until 11 p.m. Sunday
(S a.m. Monday EDT).
Nevada Test Site -(UPP- The
first above - ground nuclear
test over the continental Unit
ed States since the world's
powers placed a moratorium
on atomic testing four years
ago was conducted Saturday
by the Atomic Energy com
mission and the Department
of Ddfense.
A small white cloud formed
over the test site following
an almost instantaneous flash
as the low yield nuclear weap
on effect test was carried out
just several feet above the
ground.
The cloud resulting from
the detonation rose to an al
titude of about 8,000 feet and
drifted toward the north, dis
Isipating rapidly.
Authorities expected the re
sulting radiation levels over
. inhabited areas surrounding
the test site would be so low
they would be detectable only
with sensitive Instruments.
Friday's big below-ground
shot here was more spectacu
lar in appearance. The cloud
formed by Saturday's shot
was not of the mushroom type
associated with atomic tests,
and it was not dirty as was
the case Friday.
Four tanks on flatbed
trucks were seen heading into
the test area Saturday morn
ing before the explosion, in
dicating nuclear warfare test
maneuvers by the military
would be conducted in con
nection with future tests.
Newsmen were not permit
ted on the test site and wit
nessed the detonation from a
vantage point about 50 miles
away. Haze obscured vision of
the site somewhat, making it
difficult to see how extensive
the flash from the detonation
was.
A second shot that had been
scheduled for Saturday but
later postponed was delayed
for at least another 24 hours.
New County Roads
Resolution Signed
A resolution on improve
ment or repair of county
roads which establishes a
new policy was signed by
the Jackson county court
Friday.
Effective Juluy 1 all Im
provements and repairs per
formed by the Jackson coun
ty road department on pub
lic roads will be charged to
the abutting properties to
comply with state law, t h e
county court decided.
The resolution stated tnat
no changes have been made
on the amounts charged for
improvement of public roads
in recent years.
"It is the feeling of the
county court that the amounts
charged for Improvement
and repairs are far below
the actual cost to the county,"
the cuiinty court said.
"State law requires that no
county funds shall be expend
ed in improvement or repair
of county roads," the court
explained.

The 64-year-old Faulkner,
who died of a heart at
tack early Friday, was born,
lived and wrote most of
his novels and short sto
ries within a few miles of
his final resting place.
Kept Closed
The coffin was kept
closed, a relative said, ex
cept for a moment when
two Negroes who had been
life - long servants of the
Faulkner family were
granted their request to
view the body. A police
man was posted in Cedar
Grove outside the house
to stop any intruders during
the service in the ante-bellum
Faulkner home.
The brief graveside serv
ice was conducted in 95
degree heat. Faulkner was
buried on a hillside under
two water oaks.

Gray Jr. read from the
Episcopal Book of Common
Prayer.
His burial in this little
community that failed to
understand him even in
death was in accordance
with his own wishes.
Once Said
Speaking of his native
land and himself, he once
said:
"He was born of it and
his bones will sleep in it."
But Saturday, as usual
the town of Oxford, a
community of 8,000 that
Faulkner made famous as
"Jefferson" in his fiction
alized "Yochnapatawpha"
county, went on without
him.-
The square was jammed
with trucks and farmers
who had come to town to
shop, sell produce and gos
sip. But little of the talk
concerned Faulkner.
In late years townspeople
had come to look upon the
man that many hailed as
one of the greatest talents
of 20th century as just
somewhat of a "character."
This was a less harsh Judg
ment than their original
reaction that he was "no
account."
Most of mankind thought
differently.
Great Creators -
President Kennedy prais
ed him Friday "as one of
the great creators of this
age, and eulogies poured
in from all over the world.

"He never compromised.
to I Hershey said, "not or mon-

for an easy audience."
. Faulkner himself once
explained his work was mo
tivated "not for glory, and
least of all not for profit
but to create out of the
human spirit something
which did not exist before."
The extent to which he
succeeded was evidenced
Saturday by the carloads of
flowers that admirers sent
to adorn his grave.
