IN NEW BUILDING This Oregon Liquor Conirol commission store on North Grape Quotes From the News Washington Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), ac cusing Republicans of playing politics in their criticism of administration policy on Cuba: "Some Republicans are acting like 'guerrilla warriors' hit and run. While their high command Hnie rtionsi bilily, they are saying 'Come on, Mr. President, we've got you a war you provide the troops.' This is very careless and reckless politics." Pasadena, Calif. An official at Cal Tech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, predicting a long life for the Mariner-2 space craft heading toward Venus: "II will probably circle around the sun until doomsday." Alley Paving Work Approved The Medford city council last night approved several items with only one council man voting no on one re quest. Donald Hansen, councilman for Ward 2, opposed paving an alley in block 46, original town. A public hearing on the request was held. Hansen felt that a majority of property owners represent ing a majority of the alley frontage should be in favor of paving since an alley is used little by . the public. It was pointed out that the property on both sides of the alley is zoned commercial. Sign Petitions Council President Stan Stark, who presided at the session in the absence of Mayor John W. Snider, point ed but that three of the seven property owners along the alley have signed petitions favoring the paving and three have expressed opposition to the project. The property owners who petitioned for the paving represent 58.3 per cent of the frontage. City Engineer Vern Thorpe said the alley now needs patching and has created a drainage problem for busi nesses on one side of the alley. Also approved was a re quest to annex to the city properly lying east of Mur phy rd. and south of Country club dr. The property is part of a proposed subdivision and would be accessible to both city water and sewer systems.
