SEN. WAYNE MORSE
Headc Kennedy'! Panel
Optimism Held
for Quick End
To Dock Strike
By United Press International
A presidential board held
optimism today for a quick
settlement of the Atlantic and
Gulf Coast dock strike. New
York and Cleveland remained
without regular newspapers,
and a transit strike in Phila
delphia went into its fourth
day.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.),
head of President Kennedy's
panel and a former mediator,
was to meet separately today
with the New York Shipping
Association and the Inter
national Longshoremen's As
sociation. Morse said he thought there
had been "considerable prog
ress" in the lengthy dispute
which erupted into a walkout
28 days ago. The longshore
men are asking a 55 - cent
wage increase and have been
offered a 23-cent hourly pack
age. Awaiting Word
New Orleans, La., Mayor
Victor Schiro said he and 11
other Gulf port mayors were
awaiting word from Assist
ant Secretary of Labor Daniel
P. Moynihan whether to go
to Washington to participate
in the talks.
Banana handler locals in
New Orleans continued un
loading ships despite attempts
by union attorneys to have a
federal court back - to - work
order stayed.
U.S. Dist. Judge Frank B.
Ellis granted the injunction
after the National Labor Re
lations Board said the unions
should be ordered to fulfill
terms of an unsigned contract.
Longshoremen in Port Ev
erglades, Fla., put aside their
strike and loaded 86S tons of
ransom supplies aboard the
freighter S.S. Shirley Lykes
to pay Fidel Castro for the
freedom of Bay of Pigs pris
oners. No new negotiations were
scheduled in New York be
tween striking printers and
the publishers of nine metro
politan dailies. Talks between
the two principal parties
broke off Thursday in the 42-day-old
strike.
Negotiations continued to
day at Cleveland between the
American Newspaper Guild
and the Press and Plain Deal
er publishers.
In Philadelphia, mediators
hoped an "exclusively new"
proposal to union and man
agement would settle the
strike of buses, subways and
elevated employees.
Innocent Plea Filed
Bill To Abolish
Liquor Permits
Read in Senate
Salem-flJPD-Bills to do away
with liquor permits and to
give World War I veterans a
tax exemption on their homes
were read today in the Oregon
Senate.
The resolution to replace
Oregon's century-old constitu
tion with a brand new one
was formally introduced in
the House.
The senate also received a
series of bills relating to for
ests, while other House bills
included one to make taxes
on cooperatives payable soon
er. New bills and organization
al meetings of committees
made up the bulk of activity
as the first week of the 52nd
legislative assembly drew to
a close. Both houses adjourned
this morning until Monday.
Laymen Affirmed
The Senate affirmed the
appointment of George Lay
man of Newberg to the State
Board of Higher Education.
Layman is former Republican
state representative, and was
chairman of the commission
that rewrote the constitution.
He succeeds Doug McKean,
political editor of the Oregon
Journal, who resigned in or
der to' cover the legislative
session where higher educa
tion will be active in seeking
more money.
Sen. Andrew Naterlin (D-
Newport), who sponsored the
bill to abolish liquor permits,
described the permits as an
irritation to tourists. He said
neighboring state do not have
them,
Naterlin said increased li
quor purchasers by out - of
staters would make up for the
$300,000 lost in permit fees.
The veterans' measure
would give World War I vet
erans a homestead tax exemp
tion up to $7,500 of the true
cash value of their homes, sim
ilar to those given to the vet
erans of earlier wars.
The forest bills included a
measure to let the Board of
Forestry contract for fire pro
tection of range and grass
lands as well as forest lands.
Fee Collection Included
They also included a meas
ure to let the state forester
collect fees for the use of
state roads and for easements
over state lands.
The House also received a
bill aimed at reducing police
chases of speeding cars. It
would provide a maximum
penalty of six months in pri
son and a $2,000 fine for a
driver trying to flee officers.
Rep. Ed Elder (R-Eugene)
re-introduced a bill to require
health board supervision of
patients discharged from men
tal hospitals whose records in
dicate "homicidal tendencies."
Committee Head
Receives Confidence
Vote by Democrats
Jean Mills, chairman of the
Jackson County Democratic
Central committee, was given
vote of confidence Thurs
day night after introduction
of a motion asking for his
resignation and election of a
new chairman.
The stormy meeting, the
smallest in attendance since
Mills' election as chairman,
closed with Mills announcing
that he would continue as
chairman and serve the
Democratic party to the best
of his ability until the end
of his term.
A deep fog blanketed Med-
ford Thursday night and only
2 members of the Central
committee appeared for the
meeting.
Criticism Develops
Criticism of Mills developed
from a letter Mills sent to
Sen. Wayne Morse reporting
details of the December meet
ing at which County Clerk
Marvin Madden was elected
as the central committee's
candidate for the position of
Mcdford postmaster.

Mark Norton, Phoenix, was
first to accuse Mills of error
in sending the senator any
thing more than the name
selected. He expressed con
cern that the letter had not
been seen by members of the
executive committee. . -;
Dr. Thomas Rutter, coming
to the defense of the county
chairman, said the letter was
merely a transmittal of facts.
Mrs. Marvin Madden asked
Mills what had happened to
the wire he told the Maddens
he would send to Senator
Morse. '
Mills replied that he tele
phoned the senator's Portland
office and was informed by
Charlie Brooks that he, Sen
ator Morse's administrative
assistant in Oregon, would
convey the message to Wash
ington. Mills said Brooks
asked him to write a letter
stating the action, which he
did.
Several committeemen ac
cused Mills of failure to main
tain accord in the party and
insisted that work for the
benefit of the party had not
been accomplished.
Things Being Done
Dunbar Carpenter, describ
ing himself as a newcomer to
the central committee, said he
thought controversy was an
indication that things were
being done in a democratic
manner. He commented, how
ever, that there was no mo
tion on the floor and advised
the committee to seek some
manner of achieving order
and unified effort.
K. C. (Swede) Wernmark
responded by moving that a
new chairman be elected at
the next meeting and that the
chairman be advised to set the
machinery in motion to win
the next election.
The motion was challenged
by Mrs. Ted Phillips and
Norton emphasized that he
did not want the chairman
to resign but to run things
more democratically.
The chairman ruled the
motion valid and called for
the vote, which approved the
chairman's ruling 11 to 6. The
other 10 committee members
present abstained from vot
ing. Youth Sentenced to

Designs for New
Traffic Signal Are
Being Prepared
Designs for a proposed traf
fic signal at the intersection
of Barnett rd. and South Riv
erside ave. are being drawn
by the state highway depart
ment. City Engineer Vernon
Thorpe said the state hopes to
have the signal installed and
in operation by the July op
ening of Interstate 5 south of
Barnett rd.
The signal, to cost an esti
mated $12,000, will be paid
for half by the state and half
by the city with the city as
suming the costs of mainte
nance and power.
Directional Signs
Thorpe said that highway
department officials who
were in Medford this week,
also discussed the placement
of directional signs through
out the valley showing routes
to the freeway.
The highway department
and city officials are contin
uing to check the timing of
the traffic signals at the in
tersection of Riverside ave.
and Stewart ave. Complaints
were received regarding it
after the opening of Interstate
5.
. A new detector on Stewart
ave. east of Riverside ave.
was installed yesterday, it
was staled, and Monday a
new controller unit was in
stalled. The electronic control unit
at the intersection is acti
vated by the amount of traffic.
The signals are maintained by
the state highway depart
ment. ' -
Hilton Commends
Oregon Group
Ben Hilton, Grants Pass,
president of the Rogue River
Flood Control and Water Re
sources association, Thursday
afternoon commended the
Oregon congressional delega
tion for its work in promoting
the Rogue Basin project.
The President's 1964 budg
et includes $100,000 for plan
ning advance engineering and
design work for the Lost
Creek reservoir.
Hilton said, "The Rogue
River Flood Control and
Water Resources association
is extremely pleased that an
appropriation for engineering
and design funds is included
in the presidents fiscal 1964
budget. .
'Senators Wayne Morse,
Maurine Neuberger and Con
gressman Robert Duncan are
trying to secure a 1963 ap
propriation of $200,000 for
engineering and design. If
they are successful it would
be reasonable to expect that
the fiscal 1964 appropriation
would be increased over the
budgetary figure. The fact
that engineering and design
funds for the Rogue Basin
project are included in the
Presidents budget so soon
after authorization of the
project, speaks well for the
Oregon congressional delega
tion as well as for the great
merit of the project itself."
Fight
Delegate Booed
Loudly During
Congress Speech
Khrushchev's Appeal
For Truce Rejected
Berlin - IUPD - Communist
Chinese delegate Wu Hsiu
chuan, his voice drowned out
by a riotous chorus of boos
and catcalls, said today that
Peking will continue its fight
against Moscow's policy of co
existence with the West.
In a speech to the sixth East
German Communist party
congress he said Red China's
battle will continue against
"modern revisionists," a move
that rejected Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev's appeal
for a truce in the Moscow
Peking ideological war.
He launched into such a
violent attack against the
Soviet Union and Yugoslavia
that the East German chair
man, Paul Verner, ordered
him to stop.
Words Lost
Angrily ringing his bell,
Verner warned he would not
tolerate insults to invited
guests.
Wu ignored the chairman
and continued talking. But
the official interpreters did
not translate his speech at
this point and his words were
lost.
The scene was similar to
those at recent meetings of
the Italian, Hungarian and
Bulgarian party coingresses
at which members of the pro
Soviet European Communist
bloc lined up with Moscow
against Peking.
Criticises Remarks
In trying to stop Wu, Ver
ner said his remarks "did not
correspond to the norms of
relations between Marxist-
Leninist parties."
East German Communist
Politburo member Hermann
Matern hit back at Wu with
an appeal for Communist
unity, which he declared is
"a vital necesssity."
"The party can only hear
with regret words directed
against unity," he said. "Let
us make an end once and for
all with the dangerous words
'minority,' 'majority and 'division.'
"It is not right, here and
now, to quarrel over them."...
Heierring to the Chinese,
without actually naming
tnem, Matern said:
"What is the party that has
begun polemics against the
other because it only wants
to deepen, the quarrels? It is
known to all the world who
began this."
Indian Invasion Cited '
He added that the Chinese
Indian border conflict had
harmed the Communist world
movement.
East German Deputy For
eign Minister Otto Winzer
backed Khrushchev's policy
of coexistence with the West.
A spokesman for the Soviet
Embassy In East Berlin re
fused to comment directly on
Wu's speech. He predicted
that the Moscow-Peking con-
inct ultimately will be "liqui
dated," although he said it
is not clear at the moment
how this will be achieved.

Legislative Program
Compensation,

Minimum Wage Law
Also on Agenda
Salem - IUPD - Labor's leg
islative program was outlined
here Thursday afternoon be
fore some 200 labor leaders
from around Oregon.
It includes measures on
workmen's compensation and
unemployment insurance, a
minimum wage law, an "anti-strikebreaker"
law, and re
peal of the labor manage
ment law passed two years
ago.
Conducted by Veterans
The meeting was conducted
by organized labor's veteran
corps of spokesmen at the
Oregon Legislature - J. D. Mc
Donald, James Marr, George
Brown, and Thomas Scanlon
of the Oregon AFL-CIO.
Marr said labor is support
ing "two and one-half way"
workmen's compensation pro
gram advocated in a report
to Gov. Mark Hatfield by a
special advisory committee of
labor and management
spokesmen.
But he said labor s final
stand will depend on whether
the bill to be drafted by the
governor follows the report.
Labor fought a holding ac
tion two years ago to defeat
a "three-way" bill that would
have opened the workmen's
compensation field to private
Insurance firms.
The new bill Would' only
expand the role of private
firms in writing re-insurance,
The wage-hour bill would
set a minimum wage of $1.25
and also would cover agricUI
tural workers.
The delegates were told the
1061 state labor-management
law has been abused. The
law was passed as a procedure
for union elections. Labor
said it has been used, con
trary to legislative Intent, in
an effort to "bust up exist
ing contracts."
The strikebreakers bill
would prohibit the use of pro
fessional strikebreakers in la
bor disputes.

was overriden by the Medford
city council last night as it
voted to reinstate a grade and
gravel project for Whittle
ave.
The action came after Med'
ford Attorney Robert Dick
ey, counsel for property own
ers on Whittle ave. favoring
the improvement, called Snl'
der's action "a technical, un
intentional veto." ;
The attorney reminded the
council that they had prev
iously passed the measure by
7 to 1 vote at their . last
meeting in December.
Dickey urged the council
not to "retry the case." The
people have a right to rely on
the actions of the council, he
said.
After your passage of the
measure in December, he
said, "my clients and I
thought we had an agree

Supports Policy
The difficulty arose last
month when Snider, in at
tempting to support the ad
ministration's policy of rec
ommending against sub-standard
improvements in the city,
returned the ordinance to the
council unsigned.
Snider stated at that time
that he did not wish to veto
the measure, since the council
had passed It with such a
strong majority. He said It
was his understanding that if
he did not sign the bill, it
would automatically go Into
effect within. 10 days.
However, In returning the
Bons for not 'signing It. City
Attorney William Mansfield
later Informed the council
that in stating his objections,,

was the only member to- vote
against the measure at ' the
meeting last night,
I admit to an error in
judgment in voting for pass
age the first time this matter
came up," he said, "but after
gaining more information on
the subject, I feel it is wrong
to grade and gravel Whittle
ave. Two wrongs don't make
a right."
Councilman Terry Green
said he was hot in favor of
the project but he felt in fair
ness to those Involved he had
to support the previous coun
cil action.
City Manager Robert Duff
Indicated to the council that
bids will be called for on the
improvement at the next

Downtown Parking District Is
Discussed by Property Owners
A group of downtown prop
erty owners, motivated by
what Medford Chamber of
Commerce President Bill Wil
liams called the spirit of
"self-help," met yesterday
afternoon to discuss forma
tion of Mcdford's first park
ing district.
The meeting also was at
tended by Mayor James Dun
levy, members of the city
council, administration offici
al j, and other Interested per
sons. After nearly two hours of
discussion, the group voted to
urge Dunlevy to appoint a
permanent committee to fos
ter and guide the rejuvena
tion of downtown Medford.
Speak lor Owners
Medford Attorney Otto
Frohnmayer, speaking for the
property owners, traced the
history of past activities de
signed to improve the off
street parking situation in the
core area.
But we have concluded
that parking alone won't solve
the problems of downtown
Medford," Frohnmayer said.
"Many other steps have to be
taken as well to revitalize our
business district."
He recalled that In times
past, downtown merchants
and property owners have
been at loggerheads with city
officials about who should
take the Initiative in improv
ing core area conditions.
"We've come to the conclu
sion now," he said, "that it Is
a joint problem, and we must
all share In the effort."
Now Passing the Ball
Dunlevy replied that he was
"gratified that we've now quit
passing the buck, and that
now we're passing the ball in
a team effort." .
"These problems can't be
solved by an individual or by
a single group. We must all
work together," he said.
City Attorney William
Mansfield outlined the sub
stance of the ordinance rec
ently passed by the city coun
cil which sets up machinery
for creation of an off-street .
parking assessment district.
Anyone Can File ,
"Anyone can now form a
district; a petition can now be
filed by any group," he said.
"The next move is yours
by filing a petition with the
city council."
A map of the core area was
displayed which showed the
tentative outlines of a pro- .
posed parking assessment dis
trict. The district was bound
ed by Fourth and 10th sts.
and by Fir st. and Bear creek.
Sentiment of the group favor
ed formation of one parking
district, rather than several
smaller ones.
As part of the program,
Medford Architect Jack Edson
and City Planner Ned Lang
ford showed a series of color
ed slides depleting the de
velopment of Eugene's civic
center.
