Residents Slate Meet to Discuss Water Shortage A meeting of Medford's west side residents and rep resentatives of various feder al agencies will "be held in the West Side school in ap proximately two weeks to dis cuss the area's ' pure water shortage, according to- Ben Hilton, president of the Rogue Basin Flood Control and Wa ter Resources association. Hilton, Mrs. Katherine Heffernan, Ross lane, Ernest Niedermeyer, Westwood sub division developer, and A. (Archie) Pierce, Medford sub divider, met at Hilton's office in Grants Pass Friday eve ning to discuss, the water problem with Henry Stewart, of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland, and Mal colm Karr, of the state water resources board. Stewart and Karr and rep resentatives qf the bureau of reclamation, and state engi neer's office are expected to meet with area residents to discuss possibility of allocat ing water from the forthcom ing Rogue basin project for domestic use. Hilton said Lost creek dam might be raised and water pumped over the hill from the forthcoming dam on the Applegate river to provide water on a valley wide basis. Metro Area Basis Hilton said water might be distributed to a metropolitan water district comprised of valley cities. Domestic water is provided on a metro area basis from Prineville reser voir to Madras, Hilton said. Karr has been asked to obtain all possible information on the Prineville dam operation for a model for this area, Hil ton explained. A contract for such domes tic water supply must be made before basin project construc tion starts, Hilton said. Infor mation is needed from the bureau of reclamation as to what irrigation water is need ed. This will be determined after land classification stud ies for the Applegate dam are completed about mid-summer, Hilton said.

U. S. SUBS WARNED AGAINST JAPAN VISIT Toyko - ftPH - A Moscow radio broadcast beamed to Japan warned Saturday that peace in Southeast Asia and the Far East would be threatened if Japan allows U. S. nuclear submarines to visit Japanese ports. FANFANI SURVIVES CONFIDENCE VOTE Rome - iirr - Premier Amitore Fanlani Saturday defeated a Communist-inspired "no confidence" vote and kept hit already-doomed government alive for another few months. A The peril stems from French President Charles de Gaulle's adamant, opposition to Brit ain's entry into the six-nation European Common Market, his rejection of Kennedy's multilateral : NATO nuclear force proposal, and evidence that Adenauer is wavering be tween Washington and Pans. 1 Officials ' said the Presi dent's warning was expres sed through West German Ambassador Heinrich Knapp- slcin Wednesday when he de. livered a letter to Kennedy from the Chancellor. i The letter was a report on Adenauer's Paris talks earlier in the week with .de Gaulle. It contained a lengthy justifi cation of the Chancellor's ac tion Tuesday in signing with de Gaulle a formal treaty pledging close Franco-German cooperation in foreign policy, defense and cultural development. The President was said to have told Knappstein the U.S. was counting on West Ger many to avoid any special deals with France which would . endanger European unity and the NATO alliance. His oral message was couch ed in diplomatic but firm and unmistakable terms which gave it the character of a firm warning, officials said. The White House officially remained aloof from the growing storm over NATO's future which was gathering momentum here as well as in Bonn, London and other Eu ropean capitals. A spokesman would say only that there had been "ex changes" between Kennedy and Adenauer on the subject of the French-German talks. The President was said to have been disappointed by Adenauer's failure to make a more vigorous effort to change de Gaulle's attitude on Britain's Common Market membership. Officials said he also was concerned at the length to which the Chancel lor went to justify the signing of the special treaty with de Gaulle. Some administration offi cials clung to the hope that a Monday meeting in Brussels of the ministers of the Com mon Market countries, to re view the status of Britain's negotiations for entry, might ease the situation.

McKinney, Port land, Friday afternoon in Jacksonville outlined plans for the first Pacific Northwest outdoor summer music fes tival in Oregon's historic cat tle and mining town. He told approximately 50 people attending the recep tion in Jacksonville's U. S. Hotel the music festival, ten tatively scheduled for. mid- August, plus Ashland's Shakespearean Festival could make this area a leading tour ist attraction. , Volunteer- committees to work out the music festival details and a non-profit corp oration to finance the opera tion are needed, McKinney said. He displayed an archi tect's sketch of the canvas and plywood open air pavillion to be constructed adjacent to the gardens on the estate of pioneer photographer, the late Peter Britt. The Portland developer said committees of Medford, Ashland and Jacksonville people are needed on housing for the 30 Pacific Coast mu sicians expected, for landscap ing the grounds and for other festival details. McKinney said the non-profit corpora tion could not expect to break even the first year. John Trudeau, conductor of the Portland Pops orchestra, was selected to direct the ser ies of 19 afternoon and eve ning concerts. Trudeau said the program would be similar to music festivals at Carmel, Calif, and other places. . Professional musicians from various Pacific Coast cities would be invited to take a "busman's holiday," he said. Local talent would be auditioned. The Peter Britt's Gardens Music and Arts Fes tival would have six basic programs for evening and af ternoon and perhaps Sunday concerts, Trudeau explained. A children's concert may be arranged later. McKinney repeatedly men tioned that 12,000 people came through Jacksonville the first days of August and registered at , the museum. This, and the large attendance of the Shakespearean Fes tival, point to Jacksonville's "tremendous potential as a tourist attraction," he said. He praised the enthusiasm of the local people as dem onstrated by Jacksonville's re habilitation program and the laric number attending Fri day's reception. Prominent citizens of Medford, Ashland and Jacksonville attended.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington -lSpecial)-The Federal Power commission Thursday listened to pro and con arguments about whether Pacific Power and Light Co. should be ordered to build a $1 million fish hatchery on the Klamath river near its one-year-old Iron Gate dam just south of the Oregon-California order. Ralph Scott, San Francisco counsel for the California Fish and Game commission, said the power company should pay for construction rs well as operation and main tenance of a hatchery as res titution for 16 miles of spawn ing stream area flooded out by Iron Gate dam. Gregory A. Harrison, San Francisco attorney for PP&L, said the utility feels "there should be no iish hatchery constructed at all" because the company's obligation to protect migratory fish was met with $700,000 fish trap ping and egg collecting facili ties at the dam. Finance Operation California contends these facilities are inadequate. So did an FPC examiner, who recommended that the utility be required to erect a hatch ery, but that the state should finance its operation and maintenance, estimated to cost $54,000 yearly. Scott ar gued that if the state has to finance operations of the hatchery, it ought to get the Iron Gale dam too. "The state has no obliga tion to pay for abating some body else's nuisance," con tended Scott. Commissioner Charles Ross wanted to know what PP&L would "know about the fish business?" Scott said the state would supply the technicians but wanted the utility to pay them. ' " Scott's claim that the FPC had required Portland Gen eral Electric Co. and the city of Tacoma to build hatcheries in conjunction with their dis puted dams on the Deschutes and Cowlitz rivers was chal lenged by . an FPC staff coun sel, Dan Goldstein, who said only fish passage facilities were required. He said the city of Eugene and Puget Sound Power & Light Co. in other instances had voluntari ly built hatcheries in conjunc tion with dams. Split Costs "The record is clear that the hatchery should be built," said Goldstein, who recom mended that the utility and California split operational costs equally. The dispute over improving fishery conditions on this stretch of the Klamath river is more than a decade old. It started when California ob jected to the fluctuation of the river caused by two dams built years before by Califor nia Oregon Power Co., since merged with PPStL. The proj ects are called Copco 1 and Copco 2. Iron Gate dam, com pleted a year ago at a cost of $8 million, reregulates Ihe flow of the river and gener ates 18,000 kilowatts. Copco built a hatchery at Falls creek nearby and gave it to California in 1919 but the state abandoned it in 1948 because it was considered un economic. Since then it has trucked eggs to a Mt. Shasta hatchery, but Scott said this was undesirable because Mt. Shasta hatchery is specifical ly for rainbow trout. Questions by the commis sioners suggested no hostility to the examiner's recommen dation that a hatchery be re quired, but there appeared to be some division about who should pay for operations. JFK s'te Susiensiosii off etrgraund iomb Tests WON'T COME DOWN - A wrecking crew has been trying to tear down this old Grants ' Pass building for about a month, but the solid walls so far have stubbornly resisted ithe impact of the 2,000 pound steel wreck ing ball being used in an effort, to knock them down. In fact, last Thursday the wrecking ball itself broke. The 15-inch walls were constructed 35 years ago of con crete reinforced by steel bars. , Abandoned Baby Found in Hospital Grants Pass A 18 month to two year old boy said by doctors to be spastic and suf fering from pneumonia was found abandoned In a basket in the lobby of Josephine General hospital here Satur day afternoon, A note found in the basket Identified the boy only as "Bobby", said he was "severe ly retarded" and urged the finder to take him to an in stitution tor the mentally' re tarded.

I Morgan Explains Reasons He it FPC Post Washington - (UPD - Federal Power Commissioner Howard Morgan will leave when his term runs out because ot FPC decisions which he felt were more in the Interest of private industry than the public. Morgan, in an unusual let ter to President Kennedy, said "ordinary men'.': cannot withstand the "pressures gen erated by huge industries fo cused with great skill on and against the sensitive areas of government. . He urged Kennedy to .ap point exceptional men to the federal regulatory agencies and warned against the dan ger of "abandonment of the public interest."; , Clearly Vitible i , :' Several of his reasons for leaving, he said in the letter to Kennedy, were "clearly visible" in his frequent dis senting opinions on FPC de-, cisions. ' Morgan, vice -chairman1 of the agency, said he will not seek another term after his present one expires June 22. He was named to the commis sion in March, 1961. A native of Tillamook, Ore., Morgan is a former chairman of the Oregon Democratic party and for two years was Oregon public utility commis sioner. . . . , He told a news conference Friday he had advised west ern senators of his decision before informing Kennedy.

The President's helicop ter arrived at Glen Ora at 2:12 p.m. EST. . Grants Pass - A central downtown Grants Pass cor ner has for the past month been the scene of a drama involving a proud old build-, ing that virtually refuses to bb destroyed. .. . The building, formerly occupied i by the Grants Pass branch of tthe U. S. National Bank of Portland, appears to be offering "sol id" proof of the old conten tion that "they don't build 'em like they used to." So solid are its 19-inch thick masonry : walls that they have stubbornly resist ed all efforts to bring them down, providing a field day for sidewalk, superintend ents and a big headache for Grants Pass wrecking con tractor John Sims. ; The concrete walls and corners of the 35-year-old building are profusely rein forced with steel, Sims ex plained, so that when the 2,000 pound steel wrecking ball hits at any point, shock waves can be felt through out the entire structure -but it doesn't come down. Wrecking Ball Broke - The climax of things was reached last' Thursday, when, Instead of the walls tumbling down, the wreck ing ball broke. The impact with the walls knocked off the "eye" of the ball which is used to attach it to the -cable. ! Work had to. be stopped until a new wrecking ball was located and pressed into service Friday morn-, ing " . . v " , Sims' latest plan- of at tack, put into operation last week, was to cut the build ing into two halves, knock down the front half seper ately, then pull the other half out in chunks in order to avoid damage to an abut ting buildings "We hope," Sims was quoted as saying (while mopping his brow) early last week, "to have it down .by the end of this week But as of yesterday after noon, most of the . walls were still standing. .' The corner site was pur chased last summer by Mr. - andr-Mrs.' Paul Anderson: of Stanley, N. D., who plan to erect . a modern, structure "there, -i;;:..-. :r ,i .,-( i .

Halt Issued To Enhance Test Ban Talks With Reds Kennedy Stresses Order Is Temporary Washington - (DPD - Prcsi-! dent Kennedy Saturday ord ered a temporary halt to U. S. underground atomic testing in Nevada to create a more favorable atmosphere for cur rent negotiations with the Russians on a nuclear test ban treaty. The chief executive stressed, however, that his di rective to the Atomic Energy commission was not a long term moratorium such as the Russians violated with a long series of atmospheric tests in the fall of 1961. We are maintaining the capability and readiness to re sume our test program at any time, his statement said. "We have no intention of again accepting an indefinite moratprium on testing, and if it is clear we cannot achieve workable agreement, we will act accordingly." The ' President s a i d the Nevada tests would be post poned while U. S., Russian and 'British representatives continue exploratory treaty negotiations.- ":: Scheduled to Return Four days ot talks ended here .Friday. Another round was .scheduled to resume in NewiYorK Tuesday, A full- fledged nuclear test ban con ference ' is slated to reopen Feb. 12 in Geneva where years of ,prevous:negoUations proved futile. - - ; Cautious- hope that pro gress might be in sight wai stirred, recently by disclos ure of a series of letters be tween Kennedy, and Soviet Premier, Nikita Khrushchev on the dangers of the nucleat arms race; Khrushchev offered for the first time to allow two or three international inspec tions a year on Soviet soil to check against cheat under ground ..explosions. Seismic boxes would - be used. But Kennedy has insisted on an earlier U. S. demand for at least eight to 10 annual in spections. ! The President's statement, read at the White House by Press Secretary Pierre Salin ger, said: "During the pres ent discussions in Washing ton and New York on the nuc lear test ban treaty among the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, I have asked the Atomic Energy commission to postpone its shots in Nevada." Drew Criticism The President's action drew criticism from Rep. Craig Honmor (R-Callf ), a member of the Congressional Atomic committee. He said he felt the Nevau'a test schedule had, been drawn up in accordance with U.S. security needs "and should not be interfered with ' merely because negotiations ' are going on." The Atomic Energy com mission i said ' that the last Nevada shot occurred Sept. 12. It was the 59th announced test in a series which began Sept. 15, 1961. Of these, 54 were described as deep under ground tests, one was known as a "craterlng" test, one wis slightly underground and three were slightly above ground. ' ' i V.' Y ; V ' " V W. Vi a'".'
