Newspaper Page Textenate Voter To invoke oanSKEhov KEEP OREGON GREEN Crater Lake, formed out of a Riant cauldron thousands of year Harvesting Starts For And Area Peaches Some early Bartlett pear picking started today, accord ing to County Extension Ag ent Don Berry. More picking will start to morrow and the bulk of the Bartlett harvest will begin next week, he said. Some orchardists report large crops. Berry said Bart lctts are sizing up somewhat, but the biggest jump in size increase will come from now to the end of the Bartlett harvest season. This area nor mally packs the largest part of the Bartlett crop for fresh fruit, he said. The recent cool, rainy weather helped with sizing, washed the trees of dust, dirt and spray and provided good uniform moisture, the county agent noted. Peach Crop Good The valley will also have a large crop of good quality peaches, Berry noted. Picking has started on Red Haven va rieties and some of the Golden Jubliees. However, the main peach harvest will not start until about Aug. 25. This will include Hales, Elbertas, and Rio Oso Gems. Elbertas are best for ganners. Berry said. Some sour cherries are still available and a few apricots, although they are at the end of their season, the county agent said. Early variety ap ples are now being picked, he added. They are of good quality for fresh use, but not for keeping, he noted. ON ADVISORY COUNCIL Washington-d'PIi - Fred M.

Mill- letter from Attorney Russell er this morning was puzzling over which legally should come first the zoning ordi nance for the southwest Phoe nix area or the election on it. Miller said he would con sult with District Attorney Alan Holmes. The problem arose when the county court received a Action Expected 'Soon' on Request A section of the state board of health is expected to take j action "in the very near fu ture" on Jackson county's re quest for federal construction funds for the proposed health center, Dr. A. Erin Merkel, Jacxson county public health officer, said today. Dr. Merkel attended a meet ing in Portland Friday with the state board of health sec tion on hospital, medical fa cilities survey and construc tion. If this section approves the request for the Hill-Burton matching funds then the ap plication will be submitted to the state board of health and the U. S. Public Health serv ice for final approval.

' AROUND THI OlOII Scenic Oregon (Oregon State s ago, is one of Oregon s most-photographed scenic attractions. DeForest representing some of the residents of the southwest Phoenix area who want an election first. The county judge originally understood the state law allows the coun ty court to adopt the zoning ordinance for the area and then call an election after that. However, residents of the southwest Phoenix area have submitted a petition question- ling the county court's author ity to adopt zoning and land use ordinances. The petition contained verified names rep resenting 27 per cent of the eligible voters in the area. Only 15 per cent is required uy law. DeForest interprets the law as mcanrng that the ma jority of area residents must approve the zoning ordinance before the counly court can adopt it. George Brenner of the counly planning office said that an interim zoning ordinance, which is now in ef fect in the area, should not be confused with a zoning or dinance. The last pages of the pro posed zoning ordinance are being printed today. The court will cinsider the ordinance to morrow during its regular agenda session, Miller said. Soblen Wins Legal Delay in Britain London - 1UP1I - Convicted Soviet spy Dr. Robert A.

A British High Court hear ing a move by his lawyers to prevent his deportation ad journed until Wednesday, Aug. 22. without making a ruling. There were indications that a final decision on the Soblen case may not be made until Sept. 6 or later. Judge John F. Stephenson ruled that a full hearing ! should be held on the fugi tive's application for a writ of habeas corpus. This could :open the way for more pro tracted court actions that j might take the case all the way to the House of Lords, (which does not convene until 'Sept. 6.

However, no def inite action was laknn hv the commission regarding a pro posed riding concession at the laxc. Commission Mpmhpr Mr Marcel LcPiniec, Applegate, is spearheading the pro posal to use farm buildings in the north end of the How ard Prairie recreation area for a riding rnnriinn nnri hostelry for hikers and cy clists. The commission .must also make an agreement with Henry Owens and the tlndsay brothers to use some pasture near the barn for concession aire Clyde Wilhcim's horses. Would Improve Trail Wilheim now operates a rid ing concession at Lake of the Woods. He proposes to even tually imnrove thp nvictino trail from Lake of the Woods to Howard Prairie as a bridle trail. If the parks and rec reation commission and the county court approve, a bridle trail would first be built around Howard Prairie. Wil heim has offered to do some preliminary work on the trail and barn area this fall. Commission members last night noted a grazing permit may be needed from the bu reau of land management for the horses.

Action To Curb Talkathon on Satellite Bill Vote in Favor Of Cloture 63-27 Washington -HOT- The Sen ate today invoked its anti filibuster rule for the first time in more than 35 years and voted to limit debate on the administration's space communications bill. The vote in favor of cloture was 63-27, three more than the two-thirds needed. The action came on a lead ership motion to curb a de termined Democratic talka thon against the stalled bill. The dramatic vote brought the first successful use of the cloture rule since February, 1927, when a prohibition measure was being debated. Days of Debate Even with cloture, the Sen ate still faced days of debate and voting to clean up action on the bill. Each senator still is entitled to one hour to speak on t lie bill and all amendments combined. More than 200 amendments have been introduced. The cloture vote marked the first showdown in the angry controversy over the communications bill which has snarled the Senate in dis pute for more than a month. Private Space Company The bill, opposed by a bloc of filibustering liberals, would create a privately own ed but government-supervised corporation to operate a space communications system exem plified by the recent success of the Telstar satellite. The long-awaited vote pos ed a trying test for many senators who traditionally have opposed cutting off de bate. More Caught Up The Senate narrowly escap ed its longest session of the year Monday night when sup porters of the bill found a chink in the parliamentary armor of Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.). They rammed through an adjournment at 6:33 p.m. (PST). Morse, a determined foe of the. bill, was threatening to talk on for hours when he inadvertently lost the floor by asking that a series of new amendments be read. Morse and Sen. Maurine Neuberger (D-Ore.) voted against cloture. Man Arrested for Five Burglaries Ashland-An Ashland man has admitted committing five burglaries in this city, Ash land police said this morning.

President Sees No Justification For Prompt Steps Request Promised For Next Year Washington IUPD President Kennedy won immediate pub lic backing for his decision to delay a reduction in fed eral taxes until next year when Congress can enact the "right kind" of legislation, the White House said today. Kennedy offered the nation a detailed economic review Monday night, saying an im mediate tax cut could not be justified by economic condi tions or enacted In Congress. But he said federal taxes are too high and a tax cut Is needed. Telegrams Arrive White House Press Secre tary Pierre Salinger said "sev eral hundred" telegrams of reaction to the President's speech arrived during the night. "They are running about two to one in favor of his stand," Salinger said. A story on reaction to President Kennedy's deci sion to put off a request for Congress to reduce taxes until next year is on page 2A. Speaking by television and radio from his White House office, Kennedy called on Congress to approve a scries of previously, recommended economy boosters before ad journing next month. And should the economy worsen after Congress leaves, he promised to call the House and Senate back into session. Top to Bottom The tax cut which the President will request next year will be a "top to bot tom, across-the-board" reduc tion In personal and corpo rate Income tax rates. He will ask that the reduction be dated from next Jan. 1. Ken nedy said leaders of both houses had promised to steer the bill to speedy passage. Congressional reaction with few exceptions followed party lines. Democrats generally ap proved but Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon thought the Presi dent should announce now that he will recall congress after the November cloctions to consider what Morse de scribed as a "long overdue" tax reduction. Speaks of Savings Mindful of the powerful economy bloc within his own party on Capitol Hill, Ken nedy spoke of billions that could be saved by closing down federal Installations and services "that are not essen tial." He also urged Congress to pass pending legislation to raise postal rates and thus end the $600 million annual postal deficit; closing of cur rent tax loopholes to save $1 billion annually and legisla tion to make possible annual saving of another $1 billion on farm surpluses. The President said the econ omy had strengthened overall since his administration took office, but he was far from satisfied with the rale of growth, continued unemploy ment and insufficient plant expansion.

They thanked the father land, the Soviet people, the Communist party of the So viet Union and Premier Nl kila Khrushchev for the "fa- ithcrly solicitude" being shown tnem by everyone. "We are a short distance from each other and main taining reliable communica tion between ourselves," the message sad. The message did not spe cify Just how close the two space ships were to each other. Estimates have ranged widely. Some have said they were from 0 to 125 miles apart. Swedish experts- said their calculations indicated the ships were 1,300 miles from each other and it was unlikely ihey could stay in space another day. But Sir Bernard Lovell, director of Britain's Jodrcll Bank Radio Astronomy Station, said he believed they would remain in orbit for at least one more day. Believed Own Decision Most observers believed Nikolayev and Popovich were being permitted to make their own decision on when re entry should begin. All offi cial statements and broad casts stressed their continued well being. About an hour before the Joint message was sent, Niko layev made another appear ance on Soviet television and, the announcer said, sent "greetings to all" In a direct transmission from space.
