Unander also said Morse was "one of a handful of sena tors who voted against the Formosa Resolution in 1955, and who opposed our mutual defense pact with Free Chi na." He said Morse has re peatedly recommended turn ing over the Chinese Commu nist issue to the United Na tions where, he said, the out come probably would be un favorable to the United States' best interest. Unander said "while I be lieve we should continue to try to work through the Unit ed Nations, I am afraid it has lost much of its value as an agency for maintaining world peace."

For the second time, the four companies refused to provide secret cost data to Kefauvcr's anti-trust and mo nopoly subcommittee. They received a sympathetic hear ing on an appeal before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Committee Chairman James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) said he did not blame executives of the four companies for not appearing Aug. 31 to answer Kefauver's subpoena. Others Favorable Comments by other South ern Democrats, who hold the key to whether the company will be cited for contempt of Congress, also were generally favorable to the steelmakers' cause. After two hours of ques tioning and argument, East land recessed the hearings un til Friday morning. With time running out on this ses sion of Congress, it appeared increasingly unlikely that the Senate will have time to r"e bate contempt citations even if the committee votes them. Offer Declined Thomas F. Patton, president of Republic Steel, declined an offer by Kefauver to pre sent the steel cost data in per centages or multipliers rather than straight prices. Foreign competitors are intelligent enough to "get the key," Pat ton said. On behalf of the firms, he said the subpoenas would vio late constitutional guarantees against unreasonable search 1 and seizure Patton said turning over the data "would seriously harm not only us but our country." The committee sat In effect as a court of appeals from a decision of Kefauver's panel. WEATHER FOBrCAKT: Mmtlv rlooilr U nt(hl. clearing Thuridav- A few iprlnklM thl evrnlns. Low tnnlthl 45-50.

Tribune SEPTEMBER 12, 1962 Durno May Miss Vote on Hanford Atomic Project By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington-Northwest con gressmen today were trying to line up enough votes to gain approval of the Hanford atom ic power reactor, but appar ently they will have to get along without Rep. Edwin R. Durno, Medford Republican. The Hanford reactor project won another chance Tuesday night when Senate-House con- fereees drafted a compromise atomic energy authorization bill containing congresional consent for the government to contract with Washington Public Power Supply System Court Tells Owner Of Wrecking Yard To Clean Up Site County Judge Earl M. Mill er this morning told the opera tor of the Talent Auto Wreck ing Yard that the business would have to be cleaned up. The operator, David L. Mar- cy, said he did not understand he is in violation of state statute. He argued that the state law may require a fence around the yard, but it does not specifically say that wrecked cars cannot be piled higher than the fence. Miller, admitted this, but said he understood the intent of the statute to require no car bodies be piled above the fence. Marcy also objected to ear lier statements that his yard operations extended lour, tenths of a mile along the highway. He said he uses a building along the highway from the wrecking yard as a body shop, but this is a separate business and has no connection with the wrecking yard. Some cars outside the body shop are those which he is putting together, he added. "People also bring car bodies to me without titl- s. If they don't have ownership title to them, the law says I can't buy them. Then they leave them outside the yard and the police won't haul them away," Marcy said. County Commissioner Ches ter Wendt suggested he call the sheriff's office next time that happens and the sheriff's office will be asked to notify the county court. Miller said the county court is not trying to interfere with Marcy's business, but to pro tect the rights of the people in the south Talent area which Is zoned. Marcy said he has hauled out two loads of car bodies, but there are still some above the fence. He added that he never did have any car bodies in Bear creek behind the yard. Miller said he did have some wrecks in the creek bottom at one time, however, which he had agreed to move. Pino Dutto Will Leave on Saturday Pino Dutto, lawyer from Alba, Italy, Medford's sister city, will leave Saturday morning for New York City after spending six weeks in Medford. Dutto arrived in Medford Aug. 1 and has spent the ma jority of his time in the area sight-seeing, visiting various departments In Medford, and the Seattle World's Fair. Medford Mayor John W. Snider said today that Dutto will spend a week In New York City visitinj an uncle prior to leaving for Alba, Italy, Sept. 25. He said that in formation has been received that a delegation, Including a band, plans to greet Dutto at the Alba airport. The Italian guest plans to tour the pear industry this week. During his stay in the Rogue valley, Dutto has lived with the Ronald Ricketts fam ily and the Curtis Neshclnn in Central Point. His plane will Iravp thr MrwIfrirH air. '(port at 0:4S a m.

This decision must go to the House for a vote because the House earlier this year reject ed the idea. Later the Senate approved it. A vote is sched uled Thursday. Congressman Durno left Washington for home in late August, his of fice said, with no definite plan to return. He is not running for another term but his pres ent term runs until the first week in January. Durno on Way To Pendleton Round-Up Washington - Rep, Edwin R. Durno (R-Ore.) was re ported by hit office here today to be en route to the Pendleton Round Up. An office spokesman laid at tempts are being made to contact him by telephone today, in lime to get him on an airplane to Washington in time for the vote, ex pected around noon Thurs day, Today his office said he would return to Washington Friday but not in time to vote on the Hanford reactor issue. Rep. Walter Norblad was expected back tonight from a campaign trip to Oregon, his office reported. Norblad con. trib'ited to the vote-seeking efforts of Northwestern law makers by sending all his Re publican colleagues a letter quoting Gov. Mark Hatfield In behalf of the project. House Republicans have been largely against the project- in- the four adverse votes taken during the last two years. Private utility and coal lobbyists have worked hard to defeat it. "It is not a question oi pub lic vs. private power but of power or no power," Norblad quoted Hatfield. "It therefore becomes a moral issue of util izing or wasting a resource." The vote Thursday is ex pected to be close. Court To Discuss Farm Home Policy The county court will con fer with the Jackson county public welfare department staff concerning policies for farm home admissions, Coun ty Judge Earl M. Miller said this morning. David J. Kuhns, new coun ty welfare administrator, had asked the county court that the farm home admissions policy be more clearly out lined in writting. Kuhns said farm home ad missions are 50 per cent wel fare and 50 per cent private patients, yet, they are all charged the same rate. Tills is In contrast to private nurs ing homes which charge pri vate patients more than the farm home charges. A difference also exists be tween the private facilities and farm home In money charged for drugB, doctors' services and other incidentals and allowances, Kuhns claims. The farm home Includes all these in the overall rate, while the private nursing homes make additional charges, he said. County Commissioner Ches ter Wendt disagreed with these statements. Two-thirds of the farm home patients are from welfare and one-third private, he said, and addition al charges are made for drugs, doctors' services and other items. County Planners Will Consider Petition A request for zoning in the Wagner creek area south of Talent will be considered at a meeting of the Jackson county planning commission at 8 o'clock tonight In the courthouse auditorium. Last month the county court received a petition from residents In the Wagner creek rd. area south of Talent ex tending south along Wagner creek Into the Wagner creek gap area. The petition will be reviewed, and residents of thi area are expected to appear before the commission. INSPECT MODEL President Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon Johnson look over a model of Gemini space craft at Cape Canaveral, Fla. Kennedy's stop at the cape was his second on a tour of aerospace centers. He spoke today to a huge crowd at Rice Institute at Houston, Texas. (UPI) Kennedy Calls for Ail-Out Effort To Lead in Soace Race Houston, Tex. -IUPII- Presi dent Kennedy said today the nation is determined to win the race with Russia to the moon and first place in space so that it will be an area of peace and never "a terrifying theater of war." A crowd eptimated at 50,000 people In. the vast Ttice Uni versity Stadium cheered the President's call for. a "full speed" drive to win the space race with "boldness and dar ing." Under a hot, sunny sky In the City that is headquarters for the manned spacecraft center, the President paused midway in a two-day tour of space installations to call for an all-out effort to put tl country ahead of the Soviet Union, now leading In manned space flight. Shall See Peace Banner "The eyes of the world and Its teslless millions now look up and out to space, to the moon and the planets be yond," the President said. "And we have vowed that they shall not see It govern ed by a hostile flag of con quest, but by a banner of peace. We have vowed thai they shall not see space filled with weapons of mass de struction but with instru ments of knowledge and un derstanding." Without saying so, Ken nedy appeared to be aiming some barbs at former Presi dent Dwight D. Eisenhower, who recently criticized the administration's efforts to beat Russia to the moon in this decade and called the program "fantastically expen sive." Kennedy acknowledged the heavy cost - rising to 50 cents per weok for every American. The President said it "is not surprising that some would have us sit where we are a little longer Just as there were those who resisted the horseless carriage and Colum bus." "We choose to go to the moon in this decade, not be cause that will be easy, but because It will be hard. Be cause that challenge is one we are willing to accept, one Crater Stadium Dedication Slated Central Point - Glenn Jack son, Medford, chairman of the state highway commission, and the mayors of Central Point and Gold Hill will be among the participants in Friday night's dedication of the Crater High school sta dium. Members of the District BC school board last night dis cussed final plans 'or the dedi cation ceremonies, which are scheduled at 7:30 p.m. pre ceding Friday night's foolbull game. Mayors Freeman Mason of Central Point and Milton Steinmclz of Gold Hill are ex pected to be among the speak ers In addition to Jackson. Charles A. Meyer, district superintendent, reported last night that the stadium fund now Is only $700 to $800 short of its goal. we are unwilling to postpone, nnd one we intend to win. Kennedy declared. He said It was for those rea- sons that he regarded his de cision "last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions 1 expect to make in the office of president." Bakery Managers Appear in Court Fred Beck, of Beck's Bak ery, and Eugene Farrell, of Fluhrer's Bakery, were ar raigned in Jackson county circuit court t' !s morning on charges of violating balloon bread regulations set by the Oregon state department of agriculture. The two men, who appear ed in court voluntarily, were given more time in which to enter pleas to the charge of "baking commercial bread In pans which exceed the lawful size." They were Indicted secretly last week by Jackson county grand Jury. Balloon bread is that which weighs one pound, but ap pears heavier because It is baked in a l'j pound pan. The Oregon Supreme Court, acting on a recent appeal from a Multnomah circuit court decision, ruled that the balloon bread law is a lawful delegation of powers to the state department of agricul ture. The Multnomah county cir cuit court, with Medford lawyer Hugh Collins acting as Judge pro tern, had ruled that the law is an unlawful dele gation of legislative power to an administrative agency. Former Republican Chairman Sentenced Portland (UPIt Donald I. Queslnberry, 40, former chairman of the Clackamas County Republienn Central Committee, today received a prison term not to exceed one year after pleading guilty to a charge of Interstate trans portation of forged checks. Bakeries Lose Case Over 'Balloon Loaf Salem (UPII-The Oregon De partment of Agriculture held a victory today over bakeries who claimed it was legal to bake a one pound loaf of bread In a one and one-half pound pan. Retired Supreme Court Justice James T. Brand ruled late Tuesday that the so-called "balloon" bread Is deceptive and illegal. He acted as a hear ing officer for the agriculture department. The bakeries can go to court to appeal the decision. In a 23-page finding, Brand denied a petition of Langcn dorf United Bakeries, Inc., and Davidson Baking Co., both of Portland, for a change in state regulations that would have made balloon loaves legal. Rusk Premises Military Action If Necessary U. S. Keeping Close Watch on Situation Washington-(UPH - Secretary of State Dean Rusk told a closed-door meeting of House members today the United States never would tolerate Cuba's becoming an offensive military base, informed sources reported. Rusk was said to have as sured an unusual combined session of the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees that this was the point at which the United States would have to take some military action. Stul Defensive Sources said Rusk told the lawmakers that the current military buildup in Cuba, aid ed by the Russians and other Communist bloc nations, was still defensive in nature. But this country was keeping a close watch to make sure it becomes nothing more than that. In another devlopment in the fast moving situation, Sen. Prescott Bush (R-Conn.), said he would offer an amendment to President Kennedy's re serve mobilization bill that would authorize the chief ex ecutive to use force if needed to prevent a Soviet take-over of the- island. He said the amendment would serve notice on the Kremlin that the United States will not be Intimidat ed by saber-rattling state ments such as that issued by Russia Tuesday. Bombarded by Questions Members of the House com mittees reportedly bombarded Rusk with a number of crit ical questions on whether the military buildup had not al ready reached the danger stage. Some also bluntly told Rusk they did , not .feel the administration had been tough enough In its Cuban policy. Both Rusk and Foreign Af fairs Committee Chairman Thomas E. Morgan (D-Pa.) de clined to answer questions about the 2Vi hour session. The secretary said it would not be wise to make any com ment because the briefing in volved highly secret material. The two committees appar ently took the unusual step of swearing members to se crecy in an effort to make sure no details of the briefing leaked out. No Policy Change Despite the bristling Soviet threat of nuclear war and congressional demands for tougher action, the Kennedy administration made it clear there Is no Immediate pros pect of changing Cuba policy. High officials were un swayed by the Soviet Union's latest propaganda blast or by demands of some congress men that the United States throw a naval blockade around Cuba to cut off Rus sian arms shipments. GOP leaders announced last week that they favored Congress passing a Formosa type declaration authorizing the President to use the na tion's armed forces, if neces sary, to head off Communist aggression In Cuba. This has been given a cool reception so far by Democratic leaders. Miss Wyatt To Resume Miss Oregon Duties Miss Martha Louise Wyatt, Jacksonville, returned to the Rogue valley Monday evening and will soon resume her du ties as Miss Oregon of 1962. Those wishing to schedule Miss Wyatt for personal ap pearances may contact James Butler, vice president of the Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce after 5 p.m. at 772 4561, or 1004 East Main at., Medford. An order based on Brand's findings was signed by State Agriculture director James F. Short, and the department said it was stepping up its en forcement activities. Assistant Director O. K. Beals said the department will ask the Multnomah county dis trict attorney to follow up on grand Jury Indictments against seven Portland area bakeries. Beals said department rep resentatives have appeared be fore grand Juries in Jackson and Lane counties, and will appear before the grand Jury in Tillamook county. Beals added that the Douglas county district attorney has accepted a complaint which should bring a case to district court there. t t
