Resident of Alba
Arrives for Six
Weeks Visit Here
An Alba, Italy, resident ar
rived in Mcdford this morning
after a four-day bus trip from
Washington, DC, tired, but
not too tired to talk with sev
eral dozen visitors in Medford
Mayor John W. Snider's of
fice. Alba is Medford's sister
city.
Pino Dutto. 25, who left
Washington, D.C., July 28,
described the trip as an "ex
citing experience," although
his luggage was lost "some
where near Salt Lake City."
Reviewing his trip, the
Italian, in hesitant English,
commented on the extremes
in the United States, moun-
I tains, plains, deserts - which
I are not found in Italy. He
particularly remembered Wy
oming during a rain storm
where the sun, rain, and
clouds formed a "sandwich."
"Everyone talked with me,"
Dutto said, "this is not so in
Italy. Every grandmother
gives pictures of their chil
dren." he continued, "not just
black and white, but colored."
Dutto said he did not like
Reno, noting there isn't any
thing like it in Italy. He did
not approve of all the people
- young and old - "putting in
a nickel and pulling the han
dle," he said.
The majority of the Mcd-
ford city employees and other
interested persons greeted him
j during an informal reception
in the mayor's office. A sheath
of red and white carnations
with green ribbon streamers,
I which was inscribed "Wel
i come Pino," was presented
; him. The card was signed
from "Citizens of Medford."
; Red, white and green are the
Italian national colors.
, Among the people who
! greeted Dutto was Jack
iCrcagcr. manager af Pacific
Northwest Bell Tele phone
company. He was introduced
by Mayor Snider as one who
j "works for the company that
made Telstar possible."
I During Dutto's six -week
visit in the Rogue valley, he
will live for two weeks with
j three area families. They arc
j t he Ron Ricketts. the Curtis
I Ncsheims, and the Donald
Qucsenberrys. He will leave
1 for New York City in mid
j September and plans to visit
an uncle there prior to return
ing to Italy.

Unemployment
Down 445,000
During July
Washington - OJPli - The na-
lion's jobless rate fell to the j
lowest level in more than two
years in July when unemploy-1
men! dropped by 445,000, '.he j
government announced today. :
Labor Secretary Arthur J. I
Goldberg described the job
figures as encouraging and
welcome news. But he noted
that other economic indicators
have not been favorable.
The report may make it
more difficult, however, for
advocates to convince Presi
dent Kennedy of the need for
a tax cut to stimulate the
economy.
The number of jobless drop
ped from 4,463,000 lo 4,018,
000 last month. Employment
inched up. by 25.000 to a July
tccord of 60.5K4.000.
Lowest Level
The seasonally adjusted
rate of unemployment - a key
measure of economic health -dropped
from 5.5 to 5.3 per
cent of the labor force in July.
This was the lowest level since
May, I960.
Goldberg was asked al a
news conference whether the
figures indicated a tax cut
was necessary.
He replied that Kennedy
had this matter under con
sideration and he would give
his advice to the chief execu
tive privately. He said he
would not discuss it in public.
The labor secretary pointed
out, however, there was a
"mixed bag" of economic indi
cators for the President and
other government officials to
consider in reaching a de
cision. Chester Wendt Back

Faubus Outscores
Five Opponents in
Arkansas Election
Little Rock, Ark.-HPI)-Gov.
Orval E. Faubus, a Democrat,
and the dean of U.S. gover
nors, won an unprecedented
fifth term by a majority over
five opponents in a primary
election Tuesday. He formal
ly claimed victory today.
Unofficial returns from
2,283 of the state's 2.351 pre
cincts showed Faubus with
8.870 votes more than alt the
votes of his five opponents.
These returns gave 193,397
votes to Faubus; 77,317 to
former Gov. Sid McMath; 78,
523 to Rep. Dale Alford; 20,
566 to lumberman David
Whitten; 5,878 to lawyer Ken
neth Coffelt, and 2,243 lo
farmer David Cox.
Faubus has served longer
than any other U.S. governor.
Tatamount To Election
Winning a Democratic pri
mary in Arkansas is as good
as election. Faubus did not
formally claim victory until
7 a.m. (PST) today because
he feared late returns might
throw him in a runoff.
Finally claiming victory, he
said the people "have spoken
for progress."
The gubernatorial primary
over-shadowed a race for the
U.S. Senate, in which J. Wil
liam Fulbright continued to
hold a 2-1 edge over a con
servative opponent, Winston
Chandler.
"This vote indicates the
people do not wish to wander
in the thickets nf extremism,
to either the right or the left,"
Faubus said.
This was a reference lo Al
ford, a segregationist, and Mc
Math, who criticized Faubus
for his 1957 stand In the Little
Rock school intcgralion issue.
In that year, Faubus called
out the National Guard to
keep nine Negroes out of Cen
tral High School. A U.S. Dis
trict Court judge ordered him
to remove the guard or go to
jail.

The U.S. Supreme Court
