Construction
Work Resuming;
Plan Proposed
By United Preti International
Construction projects slow
ly, regained momentum today
in Oregon, while in Portland,
Mayor Terry Schrunk suggest
ed a master construction con
tract to help avoid future
strikes.
Iron workers reported b. Jk
to their jobs Monday, eight
weeks after they went on
strike. But contractors said it
would take days and even
weeks, to get some projects
goffig full steam ahead again.
Schrunk said labor and
management should look for a
better answer to the "inita
bility" that has plagued con
struction in Portland for
years.
Should Loie Salaries
He suggested a master con
tract for all construction
crafts. He also said labor and
management leaders should
lose their salaries during such
disputes.
Anderson-Westfall, contrac
tors for the Hilton Hotel and
Standard Plaza in Portland,
declined to predict any com
pletion date for the projects,
already delayed by four
strikes.
In addition to the iron
workers strike, the projects
were slowed by a carpenters'
strike earlier this year, and
by strikes by plumbers and
heavy equipment engineers a
year ago.

the facilities as dormitory

After hospital use was dis

an option on the site for
$45,000, of which $5,000
would be needed to clear the

The option advises that
there is a flaw in the title. In
the event that the title cannot
be cleared within 60 days, the
city of Ashland may rescind
the option. However, Ashland

The Bartlett pear crop is

day.
This compares to . 25,000
tons last year. Growers have
noted a large crop of pears
throughout the valley, and
are concerned that the pears
haven t been sizing up
hoped.
Cordy noted that at har
vest time the crop size could
increase by 2 to 3 per cent a
day, depending on watering
and temperature.
Early estimates set the win
ter pear harvest at 1,600,000
boxes this year, compared to
1,500,000 boxes last year.
Insect Pest Plague
Major insect pest plaguing
the local pear growers now is
the two-spot spider mite,
which County Agent Don
Berry noted is more numer
ous this year than it has been
for several years. It seems to
be developing a resistance to
Kelthane and Tedion spray
chemicals. This will be more
of a problem next year, he
said.
Sidney Jones, Oregon Slate
university entomologist, has
been asked to visit the valley
and inspect the problem.
Some experimental plots may
be set out, Berry said.
The insect chews on leaves
causing them to turn black
and fall, the county agent
explained. It also feeds on
cucumbers, melons and flow
ers, he noted.

Striking Doctors
Reach Agreement
In Saskatchewan
Many Objections
Removed From Plan
Saskatoon, Sask. -iUPIi- Soci
alized medicine held its first
beachhead in North America
today as a result of a com
promise agreement between
Saskatchewan's govcrnm e n t
and the province's striking
doctors.
The agreement removed
many of the physicians' ob
jections to the compulsory
prepaid medical care insur
ance plan, but nonetheless left
the law on the books.
Walkout Ended
Announcement of the agree
ment Monday also signaled
the end of a 23-day walkout
by doctors which had reduced
medical services to Saskatche
wan's one million residents to
token emergency service.
The College of Physicians
and Surgeons, the medical pro
fession s organization which
had spearlieaded opposition to
medicare, called on the doc
tors to return to normal prac
tice. Dr. Sam Landa, coordina
tor of the doctor-sponsored
emergency services during
the strike, and it probably
would be at least a few days
before everything was back
to normal.
Freedom To Practice
Of principal concern to the
doctors was winning freedom
to practice outside the social
ized medicare law if they so
choose.
It means the doctor can
elect to receive payment by
fee from the patient instead
of the Medical Care Insurance
Commission. The patient
would be reimbursed by the
government.
Announcement of the agree
ment followed five days of
intensive negotiations by Brit
ish labor peer Lord Taylor,
who played the major role in
bringing the doctors and the
socialist government together.
Among Premier Woodrow
S. Lloyd's major concessions
was a provision to allow pri
vate health insurance organ
izations to participate in the
plan.
This would allow members
of private health insurance
groups to pay premiums di
rectly to them instead of the
government.
House Approves
Foreign Aid Bill
Washington -IUPII- Despite a
squall of last-minute com
plaints the House today hand
ed President Kennedy a major
legislative victory by giving
final congressional approval
to his $4.6 billion foreign aid
bill.
The vote was 221 to 162.
The authorization measure
now goes to the White House
for the President's signature.
The Senate passed it late last
week.
The House action came aft

plaints that a House -Senate
conference committee gave
the administration Just what
it wanted when It came to a
choice of legislative restric
tions on the chief executive.
Voting for the bill on final
approval were 163 Democrats
and 58 Republicans. Opposed
were 65 Democrats and 97 Re

A large group of people is
expected to welcome Miss
Martha Louise Wyatt, newly
crowned Miss Oregon, back
to the Rogue valley this eve

Coast Airlines, arriving here
at 8:10 o'clock tonight. Among
those in the welcoming com
mittee will be the Medford

City Prepares to
File Application
For Rail Crossing
The City of Medford is pre
paring to file a' new applica
tion with the public utilities
commission for a grade cross
ing of the Southern Pacific
railroad tracks at Barnctt rd
The application will ask
PUC approval of an agree
ment between the city and the
railroad company. The PUC,
in an earlier application, rul
ed in favor of the crossing
on the condition that the 11th
st. crossing be closed. The
city appealed the ruling to the
county circuit court.
Earlier this year the South
ern Pacific and Medford en
tered into a stipulation agree
ing that the circuit court
could remand the matter to
the PUC. This order was
signed by the court.
Medford to Pay Colt.
The agreement states that
Medford will pay for all costs,
including signalling of the
proposed rail road crossing
construction and will have
continued use of the 11th st
crossing.
Southern Pacific's original
opposition to the new crossing
was that it would interfer
with the switching yard area.
Since that time, most of the
company's switching has been
moved to south of Medford
If no opposition to the pro
posed Barnett rd. crossing is
heard at a public hearing by
the PUC, a favorable ruling
is expected on the matter.
Once the PUC approves the
crossing, the last major ob
stacle to the extension of Bar
nett rd. to South Holly st.
will have been removed. The
road will intersect with Holly
at Melrose ave.
Purchased by City
The right-of-way property
fronting on Holly st. was pur
chased by the city several
years ago and negotiations are
under way for the acquisition
of the right-of-way from South
Grape st. to Riverside ave.
The property between River
side ave. and the present end
of Burnett rd. also is being
negotiated, city officials re
ported, with the parties In
volved having arrived at a
price.
Condemnation proceedings
have been filed on two par
cels which front on South
Grape st. to the west.
The extension of Barnett
rd. to Holly st. is part of the
arterial street program voted
on by Medford residents in
1956. The 10-year program is
expected to cost an estimated
$1,656,100.
Counties May
Build Stadiums
Salem 'UPt A 1 1 y . Gen.
Robert Y. Thornton said to
day counties have power to
build public stadiums for
sports events, and more spe
cifically, Jackson county.
Jackson County Dist. Ally.
Alan Holmes requested the
opinion.
Under the law, counties
have authority to erect ne
cessary public buildings.
Thornton said the question of
deciding whether or not a
stadium is necessary is up to
a county court.
Thornton said that as long
as a proposed project was
for the bpnetit and general
welfare of the public. It
would be a valid public pur
pose. He said the d e c i r i o n on
necessity of such a facility is
"entirely" within the discre
tion of the county govern
ment. SERGEANT KIDNAPED

the Rogue Valley Country
club at 9 o'clock tonight for
all those who participated in
the Miss Rogue Valley pag
eant. A caravan of Jacksonville

port to welcome Miss Wyatt
home. They will ride in an
old fire truck, and on arrival
will present Miss Wyatt with
a bouquet. Her father has
been a captain for many years

SEN. HENRY DWORSHAK
A Hard Worker
Senator Dworshak
01 Idaho Dies of
Heart Attack
Washington -ilTD- Sen.
Henrv C. Dworshak, 67, who
has represented Idaho in Con-1
gress since 1939, died at his
home Monday night of a heart
attack.
His son, Ward, said the sen
ator was pronounced dead on
arrival at Georgetown hospi
tal after collapsing while pre
paring for bed.
Dworshak, the 10th ranking
Republican in the Senate in
terns of seniority, was the
fourth senator to die during
this session of Congress. All
were Republicans.
The others were Francis
Case (S.D.); Andrew F.
Schocppel (Kan.), and Styles
Bridges (N.H.).
Out of Limelight
One of the hardest workers
In the Senate, Dworshak stay
ed out of the limelight and
h i s sense of humor made
many friends among his col
leagues. Funeral details were incom
plete but Dworshak's office
said burial will be Thursday
in Arlington National cem
etery in nearby Virginia.
The son said he believed
Dworshak was "tired from
the long session of Congress.
He was a hard campaigner all
his life and was active in com
mittee work as well as on the
floor. Age just caught up with
him."
Dworshak served four
terms In the House of Repre
sentatives beginning in 1939.
He turned to the Senate to fill
out the terms of two dead sen
ators. Caused Controversy
The first was in 1046, when
he was elected to a three-year
term caused by the death of
Sen. John Thomas. When that
term expired, he was appoint
ed to an unexpired term left
by the death of Sen. Bert
Miller.
His appointment by a Re
publican governor to replace
a Democrat who had defeated
him for reelection In 1948
caused a controversy.
In 1950, he was reelected to
fill the remainder of Miller's
term, and won re-election
again in 1954 and 1900.
A conservative, the burly
senator was a leading propon
ent of western mining and
reclamation Interests and a
strong critic of foreign aid.
In addition to his 'widow,
Dworshak is survived by four
sons. Besides Ward and Henry
Jr. In Washington, there is
Calvin G., Boise, and Charles
L., Seattle.

Algiers. Algeria -fl'PD- New
shooting broke out in Algiers
today in the wake of Monday
night's bloodshed which the
Moslem police chief blamed
on resurgent elements of the
outlawed Secret Army Or
ganization. Police prefect Amar Mo
hammedi told a news confer
ence the toll of Monday
night's two hours of wild
shooting was eight killed and
15 wounded. He said the dead
numbered five Europeans and
three "Moslem soldiers," and
the wounded included eight
Europeans and seven Mos

As Mohammedi spoke to re
porters, several shots rang out
in the nearby Rue d'Isly, in
the heart of the downtown
European section. First re

wounded.
It was not immediately
known who fired the shots to'

But Algerian soldiers imme
diately cordoned off the area
and started searching Euro

buildings. Other soldiers stood
on the sidewalks watching the
apartment balconies.
The incident was so brief
that traffic was not even
halted. It never took on the
