MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST IS. 1962 Dennis the Menace ; 6EE WHIZ! CO W SHAKE VXIR PAPER IVHUE I'M Talks on Test Ban Appear Close To Total Breakdown Geneva -IUPII- The nuclear lest ban negotiations appear ed close to a total breakdown today. The neutral participants at the 17-nation disarmament conference, alarmed at bitter statements by the United States and Russia Tuesday, were reported ready to ap peal to - oth East and West lor immediate concessions. The conference scheduled another special session this morning for further examina tion of the deadlock. Obstruction Charged U.S. Ambassador Arthur H. Dean charged the Soviet Union Tuesday with deliber ately obstructing conclusion of a workable treaty banning all nuclear tests. He said So viet rejection fo modified U.S. proposals showed that Moscow is "doing all it pos sibly can" to prevent a treaty. Soviet Deputy Foreign Min ister Vastly Kuznetsov counter-charged that American re luctance to sign a treaty lay behind the deadlock. He said the latest U.S. proposals were "an ultimatum-like demand" which did not alter Moscow's opposition to international controls of a test ban. The new U.S. initiative in troduced by Dean last week calls for a substantial reduc tion in the number of on-site inspections while retaining the .-rinciple of international supervision. Russia claims that international participa tion would be tantamount to espionage. Neutrals Pressing The statements by Dean and Kuznetsov Tuesday were, in effect, charges and counter charges that each thought the other had acted in bad faith during the negotiations. The eight neutrals have been pressing both sides for speedy agreement on the testing issue. They say the delay in nuclear accord is holding up progress on all aspects of the disarmament conference. Satellite Bill Opponents Turn To Civil Rights Washington -IUP1I- Oppon ents of the administration's space communications bill gathered today for a last-ditch rally under the familiar bi partisan banner of civil rights. But they had little hope of blocking the bill's passage, perhaps by tonight. Their issue, selected from a bundle of more than 150 amendments, was a proposal to bar racial or religious dis crimination in the hiring of DENTAL PLATE SERVICE Cracked or broken dentures repaired.

Central 772-6013 Churchill Denies Opposition To Common Market London - (UPL - Sir Winston Churchill, 87, issued a denial from his hospital bed to Vis count Field Marshal Mont gomery's statement that the former prime minister op poses Britain's membership in the European Common Mar ket. Montgomery spent 40 minutes in Churchill's hospital room Tuesday and emerged to tell reporters: "He was sitting up in bed smoking a cigar, shouting for more brandy and protesting against Britain's proposed entry into the Common Mar ket." Letter Released A few hours later. Churchill heard a radio newscaster re port Montgomery's statement. He immediately ordered his secretary, Anthony Montague Browne, to release for the first time a letter containing his views on the Common Market he sent to the Con servative party chairman of his constituency last year. There was no other state ment beyond the letter. But that note made it plain that Churchill considers himself a father of the idea of European unity and a vigorous cam paigner of British member ship, provided that common wealth interests are protect ed. Montgomery, a leading op ponent of British membership in the Common Market, was unavailable for comment on Churchill's letter - the first public stand the old warrior has taken for or against the membership.

Ja cobson, summer sessions di rector, estimates the final en rollment will be about 3,600. This compares to 3,220 who were enrolled in the univer sity summer sessions last year. In addition there are many students attending courses as auditors, but not receiving col lege credit. During the sum mer there are also several conferences and workshops sponsored by the summer ses sions, increasing the number of persons on the campus. The enrollment includes about 80 persons enrolled at the Oregon Institute of Ma rine Biology on the Oregon coast, and about the same number enrolled at the Uni versity of Oregon Second Level French Institute at Tours, France. Those attending conferences on the campus include about 400 high school leaders at tending the Student Council Workshop, which began Mon day with 50 advisors. The workshop is carried on jointly with the Oregon Association of Secondary School Princi pals, and continues for two sessions of one week each.

In that year the summer session budget was $94,000 and he reported that the budget for this year is approximately $400,000. late in the session Seven filibuster-bloc amend ments were tabled by over whelming votes in rapid order Tuesday after the Senate, for only the fifth time in its his tory, adopted a gag on debate. It voted 63 to 27 - three more than the required two thirds - to apply cloture or debate limitation to choke off the filibuster. This meant each senator could speak only one more hour on the bill. The anti - discrimination amendment was offered by Sens. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa.) and Wayne Morse (D-Ore.). Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-II1.), supporting their move, warn ed fellow Democrats that a vole against it would be a "re pudiation of the Democratic party platform." Urged Not To Table Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R N.Y.) urged senators not to table the amendment. But he indicated in an interview he expected it to die like the others. A leader of the "progres sive" bloc fighting the com munications bill. Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.) said he thought the bill would probably pass tonight if the Clark - Morse amendment were defeated. "But if we could muster enough votes to keep it from being tabled, the fat might be in the fire," he added. amount of grass a 1,000 pound cow can eat in a month. The board said grazing fees on private lands range from $1.50 to $3 per animal-unit month. It also recommended that 20 cents of the 35 cent fee be returned to the district in which it was collected for range improvement work. The board invited comment for Jack Binford, Portland, national president of the Izaak Walton League. Binford said his group feels that public lauds are not being used to their full capacity, and urged collection of a fee from other users of public land. At pres ent only livestock grazers pay a fee. The board reelected its chairman, Henry Gerber, a Lakeview cattle rancher, and elected Jim Webber, a Baker sheep rancher, vice chairman.

Since our recent opening date the nature or many inquiries suggest that a clarification of our service is advisable. Because we are new in concept, as compared to the established de finition of a nursing home, it is understandable that our function as a medical care facility is not generally familiar. Our service includes a superior level of the complete range of nursing home care. Basically, we differ from the facility which specializes in care of the aged through having com bined with this function a complete physical therapy depart ment. This expands considerably the scope of service pro vided. Our rates do not exceed those of the conventional nursing home. Rates include meals and all supplies and materials necessary to patient care except medications, physical therapy, X-Ray and medical laboratory charges. This information is offered in response to inquiries most often made.
