County Engineer
Advises Against
Agate Rd. Request
County Engineer Robert J.
Carstensen has recommend
ed to the Jackson county court
that a portion of Agate rd.
not be abandoned as, request
ed by the state fifgtottay com
mission, but be closed to traf
fic instead.
The highway commission
has asked that the county
abandon a portion of Agate
rd. between Crater Lake high
way and the point where the
commission proposes to make
a new connection from Agate
rd. to the highway.
Carstensen pointed out that
that once the county aban
dons the portion of the road,
it can never use it again. He
recommended that the route
be closed to traffic, but not
abandoned until permanent
development plans are made
for Crater Lake Highway,
Present Junction
He noted that in the future
it is likely the highway will
be widened and improved in
the vicinity of its present
junction with Agate rd. A left
turn holding lane also has
been suggested for the inter
section. About 300 feci of road
would be closed, according to
the engineer. A barricade
could be errected when the
intersection is changed, he
added.
The Agate rd.-Crater Lake
highway intersection has
been the site of several traf
fic accidents, including one
last spring which resulted in
two fatalities. The highway
commission and county court
have been working for some
time to eliminate the skewed
connection and reconnection
nf Agate rd. with the high
way. The county engineer's of
fice is continuing its study of
the area to furthpr advise the
court and the highway commission.

Officials Check
On Validity Of
Zoning Petitions
Petitions calling for an elec
tion on zoning in the South
west Phoenix area were still
being checked late Friday by
Jackson county officials for
validity.
The petitions, bearing a to
tal of 132 signatures, were
presented to the county court
last week by Russell W. De
Forest, Medford lawyer rep
resenting the petitioners.
County Judge Eirl Miller ask
ed the court for a 10-day
period to check the petitions
for legal form and procedure.
Friday, Miller said the pe
titions had been returned by
the elections department and
that 105 of the signatures
were signed properly. The
judge said he would probably
submit the documents to the
district attorney's office to
check the wording of the pe
tition. The assessor's office
also was expected to confirm
property ownership.
Incorrectly Registered
County officials said that
many of the signers were ei
ther not registered voters or
were incorrectly registered.
Many of those signing the pe
titions do not live in the area
being studied, they added.
Jack Eaton, county plan
ning technician, said he ex
pected to complete his study
of the petitions by late Tues
day. He noted that the area
included in the petition de
scription is about 12 square
miles, twice the area that is

SoblenOrderedTo;
I Leave England By
Wednesday Night
Airliner May Take
Him To Israel
London -UPP-- The British
government Saturday gave
Israel's El Al Airline until
midnight Wednesday to get
convicted Soviet Spy Dr. Ro
bert A. Snblcn out of the
country. Israel promptly an
nounced that if Britain insists
on El Al carrying Soblen it
will fly him to Israel instead
of New York.
The new complications in
the tangled web of getting So
blen back to the United States
to face a life term in prison
for espionage came as the ail
ing, 61-ycar-old psychiatrist
remained in Brixton prison
amid conflicting reports he
was in "excrutiating pain."
He is recovering from self-inflicted
knife wounds, but
claims he is dying of incur
able blood cancer.
Appeals Rejected
Soblen slashed a wrist and
his abdomen in a ruse to gain
entry to Britain. The El Al
airliner taking him to New
York landed here and he was
given medical treatment. But
his appeals to stay were reject
ed and the British ordered El
Al to continue him on his
way. The home office first
set a deadline of midnight
Monday, but Saturday ex
tended it to Wednesday. El Al
said it must act only on Is
raeli government orders.
In Jerusalem, government
public information officer
David Landor said the Israeli
government has decided it is
not its business to get Soblen
back to the United Slates
where he faces a life sentence
Soblen jumped $ 100,000 bail
in New York, sought asylum
in Israel but was ousted for
entering there on a false pass
port. Landor said Israel has no
extradition treaty with the
United States and therefore is
under no obligation to send
Soblen back. He said that if
Britain insists that El Al re
move Soblen to the United
States, it would be forcing the
airline - and thus Israel,
which owns it - to extradite
Soblen.
Stumbo Indicted
In Arson Case
Harry Warren Stumbo, 34,
nf Wolf Creek, turned him
self in to the district attor
ney's office here Friday.
He was wanted on a grand
jury secret indictment in con
nection with setting fire to
forest land in the Rogue riv
er and East Evans creek areas
on July 16. Claude Walter
Chase, 41, of Central Point,
was arrested earlier last week
on a similar charge.
Stumbo was lodged in Jack
son county jail at 12:05 p.m.
Friday. Both men were re
leased later that afternoon on
$3,500 bail each, according to
sheriff's deputies.
Chase was arraigned in cir
cuit court Thursday afternoon
on a charge of willfully and
maliciously setting fire to for
est land.
The indictments followed
an investigation of a series
of approximately 12 road-side
fires in Josephine and Jack
son counties, one of which
burned 250 acres In the Gran
ite hill area, one mile north
of Grants Pass.

Morse Concedes
Probable Passage
Of Satellite Bill
Measure Labelled
'Giveaway' Device
Washington - fllPD - Sen.
Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.) con
ceded Saturday that the Sen
ate probably will pass Presi
dent Kennedy's satellite com
munications bill "but at a
terrific cost" of ill-feeling.
Morse is a key figure In
filibustering tactics which
have stalled the bill.
He said on a radio-TV pro
gram witl' Sen. Joseph S.
Clark (D-P.i.). another oppo
nent, that "they're going to
win this fight at the cost of
ill - feeling, not only in the
Senate but in the country."
While Morse and Clark
were attacking the bill as a
"giveaway" device to set up
a private telecommunications
system in outer space, anoth
ed liberal Democrat defended
it.
Sen. Harrison A. Williams,
Jr., N.J., said in a television
interview for a Philadelphia
station that "it seems to me
the public will be amply
served" by safeguards in the
bill. He acknowledged the
wide rift in liberal Democrat
ic ranks but said "this doesn t
disturb me."
Williams said In another
TV interview for a New York
station that "on this issue the
people who are normally a
community" the liberal
bloc "are no longer, and
there is a division, but it'll
only last through this Issue.
On other issues we'll probably
be together again."
The little band of Morse
Democrats won a temporary
victory this week in their ef
forts to delay formal Senate
consideration when the Sen
ate referred the bill to the
foreign relations committee
until Aug. 10.
The Senate measure, a mod
ification of what President
Kennedy requested, would set
up a private corporation to
operate a space satellite com
munications system. Half the
corporation's stock would be
owned by communications
companies and the other half
sold to the public.

Arctic Maneuvers

About Ten Weeks
Various New Arms
May Be Tried Out
Moscow - HOT - The Soviet
Union starts a 10-week series
of secret war games in the
Arctic today which were ex
pected to mark the resumption
of its nuclear tests.
The military maneuvers
were scheduled to take place
over a vast stretch of icy land
and water between the Bar
ents and Kara seas and to
last until Oct. 20. Western
observers expect the first at
omic explosions of a new So
viet test series to come on
opening day, or shortly aft
erward. Observes Games
Soviet Defense Minister
Marshal Rodion Malinovsky is
believed to be in the Far
North to observe the war
games, which an official an
nouncement issued July 24
said were designed to test
"various types of modem
arms."
Soviet Premier Niklta
Khrushchev headed for a
Black Sea vacation and ap
parently plans to skip at least
the initial phases, if he plans
to view the maneuvers at all.
The war games will include
units of the Soviet Northern.
Fleet and Air and Rocket
Forces. Although, there has
been no announcement, it was
considered possible that oth
er Warsaw Pact nations may
hold maneuvers to coincide
with the Soviet exercises.
Watched Firing
Western observers believB
the Soviets might include tests
of a new Polaris - style mis- -
sile they claim to possess. The
official Tass News Agency re
ported several week ago that
Khrushchev watched the fir
ing of one of these missiles
from a submerged atomic sub
marine at Leningrad. But the
dispatch, . did not indicate
whether a nuclear warhead
was used then.
It also was considered pos
sible the Russians could be
planning further tests of the
anti - missile missile which
Khrushchev has said Is ac
curate enough to "hit a fly
in space."
But military experts of the
United States, whose own
Nike Zeus anti-missile missile
has successfully intercepted
an Atlas nose cone in flight,
have said they still do not
believe Russia has an anti
missile defense that can ward
off all attacks.
