MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDKORD. OHtllON Freeman Plans To Confer With All Farm Groups Washington -WD- Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Free man plans to confer with all major farm commodity groups before making any solid rec ommendations for farm legis lation to the next Congress. "We are seeking to review every shade of opinion, every idea, every interpretation so as to be thoroughly in tune with the wants, prejudices, and needs of every commodity group," Freeman told UPI. He said that since the 1962 Farm Bill was enacted, the public image of agriculture has been strengthened. This, he said, will tend to stop the feuding between farm groups on how to solve farm prob lems. Little Understanding "We have little enough po litical understanding for ag riculture to be able to afford a war within agriculture's house," he said. Freeman said the depart ment already has started checking with some of the major groups - particularly cotton, cattle, and dairy - re garding their ideas and plans. He said most farm leaders agree on the basic facts of the farm situation - the capacity nf American agriculture to produce and the effect of over production on farm prices. The disagreements among leaders, he said, involve meth ods of solving the problems. Freeman said he believes the disagreements are not insurmountable.

California Apathy in San Francisco - Mil - The bumper strip said "Vote NO For Governor." While it probably was said Voters Displaying Brown-Nixon Race Candidate Must Have Voice in Reply, FCC Says Washington - CtlPD - The Federal Comm unicatlons Commission has ruled that if a political candidate is attack ed personally on a television program by a non-candidate he should be given a "sub stantial voice" in selection of a spokesman to answer to charge. But if the candidate, in answering, chooses lo speak for himself then his opposing candidates would have a right to equal time. The FCC made the state ment in a telegram to the Times - Mirror Broadcasting Company, owner of station KTTV at Los Angeles. William A. Coblentz, coun sel for the California State Democratic committee, had complained to the FCC that KTTV broadcast several pro grams critical of Gov. Ed mund G. Brown without giv- I ing a spokesman for Brown I an opportunity to reply. Will Comply The commission requires that when a non-candidate at tacks personally a candidate a transcript must be made available so that a spokesman can reply. KTTV replied that it would comply with the commission's requirement but asked what would happen if Brown speaks for himself. "Where a political candi date has been personally at tacked, he should of course be given a substantial voice in the selection of a spokes man to respond lo such an at tack," the FCC said. "Both the candidate and station concerned should be aware however, that if the candidate were to speak for himself this would give rise to a right lo equal opportunity for all other candidates for the same office." .4 (J For Your Convenience t Svingt-Big Double load Wesheri -sssj ,M LAUNDROMAT -"Ss-SUWART 4 Jn IliZ-STREET II TM "4TR in jest, that slogan points up the feeling of apathy among many California voters to ward the gubernatorial con test between Democratic in cumbent Edmund G. Brown and Republican Richard M. Nixon. With the final week of the campaign under way, then.' does net seem to be a peak or climax in sight. The two men, locked in an increasingly bitter struggle, have done everything within their power to stir interest in the campaign. But there are obvious signs of voter le thargy. Sums It Up As Art Hoppe, political columnist for the San Fran cisco Chronicle, summed it up: "The guy who gels the i fewest number of 'No' votes will win." The stirring National league pennant race between two California teams - the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants - cut heavily into attention normally de voted to a rip-snorting politi cal campaign, So did the marathon World Series. And then, just when both men were trying to bring their campaigns to a peak, came the Cuban crisis. Perhaps the man who was hurt the most by President Kennedy's decision to cancel all political trips because of the Cuban situation was Brown. The 57 -year -old governor had been banking heavily on a scheduled appearance in California Oct. 25-26 in such population centers as Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. Brown strategists hoped and were confident the popular Kennedy would spur Democrats to turn out at the polls on Nov. 6. Nixon rang in his No. 1 supporter, former President Eisenhower, early in October before the Cuban situation dominated the headlines. Democrats Hold Edge In a state where Democrats hold a 3-2 edge in voter regis tration, a light turnout of that party's faithful court hurt only Brown. Nixon, during a recent whistle slop train trip, sum med up his estimate of the election by saying: "The man who wins is the man who can turn out the greatest percentage of votes trom his own parly." Nixon confidently expects that GOP voters will turn out in greater numbers, percent agewise, than Democrats But he concedes he needs 80 per cent of his own parly's vote plus 20 per cent of the Demo crats to unseat Brown. The governor is known to feel that if a large number of Democrats troop to the polls he will win. That's why there is evident disappointment over the inability of the Presi dent to make a West Const trip. There is no single explana tion for the "ho hum" altitude bcinj displayed by many voters toward (he Brown Nixon contest. Political Veterans Perhaps it is (he fact that both candidates have been in California politics for a long time - Nixon since he first run for Congress in 1910 and Brown since he ran unsuccess fully for attorney general that same year. Another reason might be that the current campaign has been far too long - both from the voters' and candidates' ' point of view Today, public opinion polls ' indicate the Brown-Nixon race ' is almost a lossup but they i also show quite clearly that j at least 11 per cent of the state's 7 5 million voters are i undecided. Best estimates nf j the voter turnout re all be-1 low 80 per cent. Two years ago, when Nixon and Kennedy clashed for the presidency, 38.32 per cent of the eligible voters went to the polls. But the truth is, the talk in California today is of Cas tro and Kennedy, not Brown and Nixon. Development of South Coast Area Declared Limited Salem - IITII - The Oregon Water Resources board said Wednesday there is little pow er development in the South Coast Basin of Oregon, and "Limited potential" there for future power development. The report was prepared by the board's staff. The basin includes a 1 I coastal drainage south of the Umpqua watershed, exclud ing the Rogue. The report noted that at present there is an applica tion for a license before the Federal Power Commission and the state engineer for pro jects on the south fork of the Coquille river. The board will use the re port as a base for establishing a water policy for the use of unappropriated waters of the basin. The report noted that com mcrical timber stands are "extremely important" to the economy of the basin area. Economic Factors A g r i culture, commercial fishing and recreation are also important economic factors, the report said. There are major flood and erosion problems in certain parts of the basin, according to the report, particularly along the lower Coquille river. The report also said that: -Potential storage sites in the Coquille system are so lo cated that complete control of floods is not feasible. - More than 50.000 acres of potentially irrigable land in the basin is the land having the flood and drainage prob lems. -The Coos Bay sand dunes contain an important ground water source, largely undevel oped. The Coquille river system is being studied by the Corps of. Engineers for possible multi-purpose development, in cluding flood control. t."J We Give and Redeem Silver Dollar Stamps ifVomcatsuTVg j mmmr -i ' Dew Drop 1 CUT GEIEEN BEANS I Cut Green Beans Green Peas . 8: S jg oo 303 Size Can r ,lp Solid Pack Tomatoes-30o Tin Chunk Style Tuna TBrii"t fill c'"8 Pe,t "d h''s " N 24 " I choice meats!
