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

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.

Music Festival
Plans Discussed
In Jacksonville
Sam D. 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.

FPC Hears Pleas
On Hatchery Near
Iron Gate Dam
By A. 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.

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.
By tradition, he said he would
be succeeded by a westerner,
and by law his successor will
be a Democrat or an independ
ent. ,

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.

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
