REFLECTION With the long period of dry
weather, Bear creek is not the raging tor
rent it was during the recent flood. In the
quiet pool above Main st. bridge, the free
way viaduct appears as two one above
and below as its image is reflected in the
water. And its not just an illusion either,
because some cars and trucks can actually
be seen traveling on the lower one.

Eugene (UPD A suspect In
Thursday evening's $53,469
robbery of the East' port
Branch of the U.S. National
Bank of Portland was arrest
ed south of here early today.
The Federal Bureau of In
vestigation said approximate
ly $23,000 was found in the
suspect's car.
It was believed to be the
second biggest bank haul in
Oregon history.
John H. Williams, special
agent in charge of the FBI
office in Portland, said the
suspect was identified as

Williams said an Informa
tion charging Hollywood with
the robbery was filed in Port

of the employees, was struck
on the head with a pistol by
one of the men but was not
seriously injured.
J. Allan Gard, the bank's
manager, said the men enter

but they may have had a
key."

summer to. Tanglewood in
Lennox, Mass.; Aspen, Colo.,
and Carmel, Calif.
Producers of Oregon's pre
mier event will be the Peter
Britt Gardens Music and Arts
Festival association in cooper
ation with the cities of Jack
sonville and Medford. Gen
eral manager of the non-profit
association is Sam D. McKin
neyl Portland.
Selected to direct the series
of 19 afternoon and evening
concerts is John Trudeau, well
known conductor of the Port
land Pops orchestra which he
was instrumental in organiz
ing three years ago. Trudeau
also directs a chamber music
ensemble, is a member of the

which will permit members
of the audience to attend a
Shakespearean play in Ash
land later the same evening.
A "Starlight Series" of eve
ning performances will begin
at 8:30 p.m.
Scene of Festival
The scene of the festival has
long been a cultural landmark
in Oregon history. It was or
iginally part of the donation
land claim of Peter Britt, pio
neer photographer who main
tained his studio in Jackson
ville for 40 years. The Swiss
born Britt arrived in 1852,
crossing the plains on foot
with the early rush of gold
seekers. His was the first pho
tographic studio west of the
Rocky mountains.
A replica of his studio dis
playing all his daguerrotype
cameras, painted screen back
drops, silk shawls worq by the
ladies, his original furniture
and equipment, is a featured
exhibit in the Jacksonville
museum.
Britt was the first man to
photograph Crater lake. He
was also the first horticultur
ist of note in southern Oregon.
His landscaped gardens plant
ed with hundreds of exotic
trees and flowers, ' painstak
ingly brought to Jacksonville
by pack mules and wagons,
became the showplace of the
Rogue valley, A pear tree
planted in 1858 Is credited
with being the ancestor of the
region's orchard industry.
Many of his original plant
ings may still be identified
near the open slop where the
music festival will be staged.
Producers of the festival ex
pressed the hope that this will
become an annual event in
Jacksonville. It is also pro
posed that the setting devel
oped in the Peter Britt Gar
dens would provide needed
facilities for outdoor summer
forum groups In the fields of
architecture, literature, dance,
historical research, photogra
phy, graphic arts, sculpture,
painting, and allied creative
pursuits.

Views Differ on
Significance of
Recent Buildup
Russians' Presence
Claimed Increasing
Washington - (UPD - Sena
tors reported after a secret
intelligence briefing today
that Russia has built an enor
mously powerful . Hilary and
political complex in Fidel
Castro's Cuba.
But they emerged from a
two-hour meeting with Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk and
Central Intelligence Agency
Director John A. McCone
with differing views on whe
ther the Russian buildup has
expanded significantly in re
cent days.
Sen. George D. Aiken (R
Vt.) said on emerging from
the session that the Russians
have built "an enormously
powerful military and politi
cal base in Cuba m u c h
stronger than it was six
months ago."
He said It is his impression
that the "strengthening" of
the Russian politico-military
"machine" Is continuing.
Sen. Stuart Symington (D
Mo.), who spoke separately
with newsmen, said "There
is a big Soviet military com
plex in Cuba today" built up
over the last six months.
Symington, who said his
information was not based
solely on the briefing, said
he is concerned about increas
ing numbers of Russians in
Cuba who are "members of
what might be called the Rus
sian air complex."
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.)
chairman of the Senate for
eign " relations subcommittee
on Latin American affairs, de
clined comment on the build
up. He told newsmen only
that his subcommittee held a
'top-secret briefing" and will
follow up on the matter In
subsequent hearings.
Rusk and McCone had been
called for questioning on Pres
ident Kennedy's news confer
ence statement Thursday that
dally surveillance of Cuba had
disclosed "no Influx" of of
fensive Russian weapons.
. Kennedy said that one So
viet ship might have brought
arms to Cuba. But he said
there was no evidence it car
ried weapons that might pose
a threat to the United States.
Sex Crime Bills i
Proposed in House
Salem-AJPD-Six bills aimed
at preventing sex crimes were
introduced In the rouse to
day, with 56 house and senate
sponsors signaling public dis
turbance over sex offenses.
Public furor was most re
cently aroused when 6-ycar-old
Mona Rae Minyard was
kidnaped In Portland, raped
and slain.
The bills, however, began
to take shape earlier when
the Legislative Interim Com
mittee on Social Problems
was created in 1961. - .
Planning Groups Air
Mutual Problems
A' discussion of mutual
problems and an interchange
of ideas highlighted a meeting
last night of the Medford city
and Jackson county planning
commission members and
members of the county court.
The first meeting of its
kind - but long talked about
by members of both commis
sions - the two-hour discus
sion covered such subjects as
Medford and Jackson county
government centers, the coun
tay fairgrounds area, mutual
planning problems in the
Medford fringe areas and a
report on the Bear Creek Ur
ban planning project.
Part of the meeting includ
ed commissioners asking ques
tions of the other group as
what they have accomplished
in various fields such as
zoning, water, sewer, sub
divisions, and future plans.
Elwood Hedberg Jr., presi
dent of the city group, and
C. O. Lovejoy, county com
mission president, discussed
the possibility of setting up a
liaison group between the
two commissions.
Ideas discussed at the "get
acquainted" sessions will be
reviewed at the next meetings
of the city and county com
missions. Medford Architect Jack
Edson showed slides of the
development of the Eugene
Civic center.
BEAR CUB DIES

Thursday.
Private Agencies Worry
Over New Tax Proposals
Washington -4IPP- C urches,
colleges, hospitals and char
itable agencies will find it
harder to raise money If Pres
ident Kennedy's new tax pro
posals are enacted by Con
gress. That view was expressed
today by leaders In the field
of private philanthropy.
They said public support
of religious, educational and
charitable enterprises Is
bound to be affected adverse
ly by the new rules on item
ized income tax deductions
proposed by the President.
Under present law, a tax
payer who Itemizes his deduc
tions may deduct every dollar
he contributes to such causes
(urA to 30 per cent of his In
come).
The new rules proposed by
Kennedy would put a 8 per
cent "floor" on deductions. It
would work like this:
If a person had an Income
of $10,000, and itemized de
ductions of $2,000, he would
have to subtract S per cent of
the $10,000, or $300, from his
total deductions before claim
ing them on his tax.
The question troubling pri
vate philanthropic agencies is
whether middle-Income tax
payers would become less
generous In their contribu
tions. And the best guess ot
fund raising authorities la
that many of them would be
disposed to give less than
they have In the ryes).
