Area Unemployed
Remains Level;
Pickers Sought
Local labor has been . ad
equate to fill needs of em
ployers so far this summer,
according to John J. Patton,
manager of the Oregon State
Employment office here.
However, he said the next
60 days should produce short
ages in many occupations. The
fruit harvest in the valley
is expected to begin about
Aug. 20. At the present time
labor recruitment is being
carried on throughout Oregon
and in other western states
in an effort to secure a suf
ficient number, of pickers.
Patton stated that there ap
pears to be fewer pickers
available this year than last
year. The state employment
service will operate a separate
Seasonal Farm Labor office
on South Pacific highway
near the armory to handle
pickers during the season.
Tourist travel through the
area has brought about a con
siderable increase in busi
ness, particularly to motels,
hotels, and restaurants. This
may be attributed in part to
the World's fair in Seattle
and to the Oregon Shake
spearean festival in Ashland,
Patton said.
The insured unemployment
rate in Jackson county stood
at 3.8 per cent near the end
of July, the same rate as four
weeks before. However, the
rate was well below the 5
per cent recorded one year
ago. Employment has remain
ed about level during July,
with approximately the same
number of new hires as in
July, 1981.
Rain Forecast for

Weather forecast for the
Medford vicinity indicates
that the spell of winter-like
rains in this area will break

Five-day forecast for west

the economy held its own in

In general, there were no
sharp swings in the major
business barometers. ' ......
Unemployment dipped
slightly. Retail sales' picked
up a little. Industrial activity
may have risen a little, per
haps showed no significant
change. Job holding improved
as expected.
To those who feel the eco
nomic upturn has run out of
steam and needs a stimulant,
the figures argue for tax re
ductions now.
No Recession Indicated
To those who favor sticking
to the President's original
plan for a tax bill in 1963
retroactive to Jan. 1, the fig
ures confirm that the economy
is not sliding into a recession,
although it may not be ex
panding. The betting in Washington
is that lacking clearcut evi
dence of a general business
slump, Kennedy will hew to
his plan to wait until next
year to cut taxes.
This impression was
strengthened Tuesday by
Treasury Secretary Douglas
Dillon. In a closed-door ses
sion with the House Ways and
Means Committee, Dillon
said nothing to suggest that
Kennedy would seek an im
mediate lax cut.
Dillon has opposed such ac
tion. It has been urged upon
the President by several other
advisers, including Budget Di
rector David E. Bell, Labor
Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg
and Chairman Walter W. Hel
ler of the Council of Economic
Advisers.

thousands of workers today '
left it up to President Ken
nedy to head off a threatened
strike by five operating
unions.
"I cannot see that the pro
posed rule change is illegal
. . .," Judge Joseph Sam Perry
told the unions Tuesday after
hearing oral arguments.
Perry made his ruling of
ficial today by signing an or
der dismissing the union's pe
tition for an injunction. The
unions had asked the judge to
bar the railroads from putting
"a n t i featherbedding" work
rules changes into effect Aug.
16. Perry said the unions had
failed "to state a claim upon
which relief can be given."
Appeal Indicated
The unions indicated they
would appeal the decision to
the Circuit Court of Appeals.
On July 17 the railroads
served notice they would uni
laterally invoke work rules
changes recommended by a
presidential railroad commis
sion. Among the changes was
a provision for dismissal of
12,000 firemen in freight and
yard service during the next
year. Another 28,000 fire
men's jobs would be elimi
nated over a 10-year period.
Monday the railroads took
an even tougher stand, an
nouncing they would revert
to their original 1959 work
rules revision plan, which
would permit discharging 41,
000 firemen Immediately.
"Management can make
such demands in the process
of collective bargaining as it
sees fit," Perry said in a
response lo a union claim that
the proposed rules were a
violation of the collective bar
gaining obligation.
laDor nseii made some
pretty strong demand s,"
Perry said.
Strike Threatened
The unions have announced
they will strike if the revised
work rules are put into effect.
However, J. E. Wolfe, chief
negotiator for the railroads,
has said the lines have re
ceived assurances that the
White House will not permit
a nation-wide rail strike.
Appointment of an emer
gency board by the President
under the Railway Labor Act
would delay a strike for at
least 60 days.

ELIZABETH DUNCAN
Outwardly Calm
Mrs. Duncan,
Cohorts Executed
At San Quentin
San Quentin, Calif. - (UPD -
Motherly Mrs. Elizabeth Ann
Duncan, 58, died in the San
Quentin gas chamber today,
followed three hours later
by the two men she hired to
murder her daughter-in-law,
Olga, 30.
Luis Moya, 23, and Augus-
ine Baldonado, 28, went lo
death together shortly after 1
p.m. (PST). Mrs. Duncan had
hired the two farm laborers
to lure her daughter-in-law
away from her home to kill
her.
Outwardly Calm .
Mrs. Duncan was outward
ly calm as she entered Ihe
death cell after protesting her
innocence.
Only five minutes before
she entered the eight-sided,
steel and glass death cell,
Judge Walter L. Pope of the
U.S. Court of Appeals in San
Francisco turned down a final
appeal from her son, Frank,
who had described her as "the
best mother a boy ever had."
Mrs. Duncan maintained
her composure as she was led
into the gas chamber by two
male guards. The plump,
grey-haired woman was wear
ing a pink prison dress. At
no lime did she cry, or look
at the 45 witnesses.
Drug Influence Claimed
"A most barbaric thing,"
muttered a grimfaced Frank
Duncan as he left the court
house after being turned
down by Judge Pope. His ap
peal had been based on a
claim that Mrs. Duncan had
been under the influence of
drugs during her Ventura
county trial.
Warden Fred Dickson said
that just before Mrs. Duncan
entered the gas chamber she
told him "I'm innocent" and
expressed the wish she could
see her son again.
She saw him for Ihe last
time for an hour late Tuesday
night.
Moments before she enter
ed the gas chamber, the Cali
fornia Supreme Court reject
ed a bid by the attorney for
Moya and Baldonado for a
stay of execution.

calls for an addition to the
Talent division of the Rogue
River Basin Reclamation
project. The addition is esti
mated to cost $1.8 million.
The reservoir will have a
capacity of 4,600 acre-feet,
which will provide supple
mental water for the 4,820
acres of land presently irri
gated in the Rogue River Val
ley Irrigation district plus
1,810 acres of new land. Wa
ter from the reservoir will be
released into Dry creek and
diverted in Hopkins canal
about one-half mile below the
dain.
Earihfill Dam

about 11 Vii miles northeast of
Medford. The enrthflll dam
will be 73 feet high and 3,670
feet long including the wing
dike. ' , .
Construction of the rescr-
voir will necessitate acquisi
tion of 737 acres of private
land, according to the bureau
of reclamation. .
The project will also in
clude the construction of a
1 o w rockfill diversion dam
and feeder canal about 700
and the Agate Feeder canal

Pool Sale Offered
To City of Ashland
Ashland - Sale of the Twin
Plunges to the city of Ashland
has again been proposed.
Mrs. Lydia F. Dobson, own
er of the pools, and her son
Leslie C. Dobson, who man
ages them, last night offered
the establishment to the Ash
land City council for $70,000.
The council took the matter
under submission and will dis
cuss it further.
The Twin Plunges, First
and A sts., was offered to the
city In 1953, but the city's
voters, acting at a special elec
tion, turned the proposal
down decisively.
Later in 1053, the owners,
Owen and Lillian Gragg, sold
the pools to Mrs. Dobson.
At last night's council meet
ing, Dobson went into detal as
to the benefits of a municipal
ly owned pool. The Twin
Plunges has approximately
three - and - a - half acres of
ground, for recreation area.
The two pools have a com
bined water surface of 7,500
square feet, he explained.
