Newspaper Page TextFormer Servicemen To Get $177,700 Former service men and 11,844 veterans who live in MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON women in Jackson county are reaping a $177,700 financial harvest at this time, thanks to an out-of- the -ordinary pay ment of dividends on their GI insurance. The windfall represents their share of a $327,000,000 dividend declared by the Gov ernment for holders of such insurance. Part of it they would have received anyway, in the normal course of events, upon the anniversary dates of their policies. This year, however, in line with plans announced at the White House, the entire regu lar dividend of $237,000,000, together with an extra divi dend of $90,000,000, is being turned over to the veterans now. The majority of the checks went out last month. The rest will be sent in Feb ruary. Approximately 2,725 of the 3i. YaMTiNes and Party Goods Stum'. Medford, Ore. 217 E. Main, Jackson county will share in the current payment. They are among some 5,250, 000 veterans in the United States, out of a total of nearly 22,500,000, who are eligible because they hold Federally sponsored life insurance pol icies. Most of the money w:ll go to those who were in World War II and have National Service Life Insurance cover age. The remainder is for veter ans of World War I who have U. S. Government Life Insur ance. The amount going to the 2,725 policy-holding veterans in Jackson county is estimated at $177,700. The volume of business that it will generate in local retail stores will be several times that much, it is expected. This is what generally happens when the amount of money in circulation is increased. The Government's expressed purpose in releas ing the cash at this time is to "provide a needed boost to the national economy," in t!ie words of President Kennedy. The Veterans Administra tion, in making public the pre payment plan, explained that it consists, for the most part, of a return to the policyhold ers of a portion of their pre mium payments. Influenza Cases Increase in County The number of influenza cases reported to the Jackson county health department last week showed an increase. Shady Cove reported 20 flu cases, Ashland had 8, Jackson ville 3, Central Point 2, and Medford 1. Measles was the next most numerous number of cases with Central Point reporting 5 cases, Medford 2, Shady Cove and Talent each 1. Central Point and Medford each reported 4 cases of mumps. Other diseases reported were 3 cases of chicken pox in Medford, 1 case of infec tious hepatitis in Medford, 1 case of trench mouth in Ash land, 3 cases of whooping cough in Medford, 1 case Ger man measules in Jacksonville and 1 case of strep throat in Ashland.

B. Nelson, local examiner for the civil service commission. Examinations will be held ai a later date, he noted, and not m the dates listed in the Mail Tribune Friday. Addi tional information concern ing the examination may be obtained from Nelson at the Medford post office. THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA A 3 Winter Drouth Ends in North, Southern Area Lacks Moisture By United Prsi International California's 40 day mid winter drouth ended last week when a Pacific storm system moved Into the state. But al most immediately, at least in northern and central Califor nia, the question became not "when would it rain," but rather "when would it stop?" In southern California the story as the week drew to an end was different. A high pressure system over Baja California kept most of the northern storm out of south ern California. Los Angeles unprecedented drouth, which saw less than .20 inch of rain fall in the city through Jan. 15, was hardly cracked. The Sierra snow situation also remained largely unsat isfactory through the week. The precipitation came, but it was so warm that rain fell at the 8.000-foot-level, in many cases reducing the al ready small snow cover. The prospects for winter sports were still far worse than nor mal. Elsewhere, there were these developments. Legislature: Democratic As sembly Speaker Jesse M. Un ruh got around Thursday to naming the standing commit tees, but not in time to avoid criticism from some quarters for not naming them rapidly enough.

In other legislative develop ments, a four-year moratori um on the death penalty was proposed and the California Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, split with Gov. Edmund G. Brown on the need for im provements in California's so cial insurance system. Brown said he would oppose any pro grams which meant higher taxes. The labor federation an nounced it would fight on for its scheme. Council: Gilbert W. Lind say, 62, was appointed as Los Angeles' first Negro city coun cilman. He will serve out the remaining five months of the term of Edward R. Roybal, who was elected to Congress in November. Lindsay's ap pointment came on a Council vote of 10-3. A n t i Communists: Argu ments were heard in a Los Angeles County Superior Court on a request for a pre liminary injunction to halt attempts to stop the sale of Communist-made goods in stores belonging to Bullock's Inc. The concern claimed per sons were placing "anti-Red" cards in its merchandise warn ing buyers not to buy pro ducts from Iron Curtain coun tries. Da Kaplany: The concept of murder as a form of sui cide was introduced as part of psychiatric testimony in the sanity trial of Dr. Gcza de Kaplany in San Jose. The 37-year-old Hungarian born physician was on trial for killing his bride of five weeks, Hajna, 25, last August by dousing her body with acid in their San Jose honeymoon apartment. She died five weeks later. He had switched his plea from innocent to innocent by reason of insanity. One wit ness, a psychiatrist, said the defendant was obsessed with death but could not bring himself to suicide because of religious convictions. He said such persons unconsciously commit a crime to have the state execute them. Kroeger: Iva K r o e g e r, growing restless as the num ber of prosecution witnesses in her San Francisco murder trial increased, tried a new On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE tactic to get herself heard. She raised her hand and asked Superior Judge Henry J. Neu barth, "May I speak?" The answer was no. Earlier she had spoken without permis sion accusing a witness of "lying all around" in his testimony. She and her hus band, Ralph, are accused of strangling Jay and Mildred Arneson and burying their bodies in the basement of the Kroeger home. Lockheed: An eight-month deadlock between the Inter national Association of Ma chinists and Lockheed Air craft Corp. over union secur ity issues ended when union members accepted a manage ment contract offer calling for extensive cooperation between the IAM and the aerospace giant. The final agreement quieted a strike threat by some 55, 000 workers at Lockheed-California company and the firm's missiles and space division at installations. The settlement, which appeared to be headed for ratification by IAM mem bers, came 60 days after a strike against Lockheed was halted by an 80-day cooling off period under Taft-Hartley Act provisions. Gas: The California Public Utilities Commission approv ed a reduction in rates amounting to $6,481,000 per year for gas customers of Pa cific Gas and Electric com pany. The reduction resulted from lower charges for gas purchased by PG&E from the El Paso Gas company in Tex as. El Paso lowered its rates because of a decision of the Federal Power Commission climaxing a 10-year fight be 'ween the company and the state of California. Telephone: The Pacific Tel ephone and Telegraph com pany was accused of making "unreasonable, excessive earn ings of at least $32 million a year'' from the Los Angeles and San Francisco metropoli tan areas. The charge came from the Los Angeles city at terncy at a California Publie Utilities Commission hearing in Los Angeles into the com pany's operations.

This will be followed on April 1 with the replacement of Merv Griffin's oficn bright and entertaining afternoon variety show by two more soap operas. Why does a network decide to give up shows that reflect at least some creativity, and In the case of "It s A Man s World," a show with the orig inal approach of allowing characters to improvise on the air, and with an enthusiastic audience of an estimated 7 million? Ratings, of course, as determined by the TV fating services. Advertising money goes where the higher ratings KO. In some cases the networks are carrying a number of ob viously superior shows in spile of relatively low ratings - "Calendar" on CBS: "Dis covery" on ABC; the great number of news specials on NBC, for example. And the networks have a moral obli gation to do this. As Dick Du Brow, United Press International's televis ion critic, points out, the air waves do not belong to the networks; under law, they be long to the people - not just the mass audience but all the people. Therefore, all the peo ple must be given attention within business realities. The Federal Commun 1 c a 1 1 o n s Commission takes this view too. But the findings of the in fluential TV pollsters deter mine to a great degree the life or death of each program. Recently the Federal Trade Commission has questioned the reliability of the survey findings of these pollsters. The Commission feels the rating services must make clear their statistics are esti mates based on samples, are inexact and are subject to variations. It's an imperfect system, but will continue to be the TV executioner. I only wish NBC could offer a more original remedy for sinking ratings than second hand Hollywood and more court room and bedside bathos CONCERT HALL, 2 p.m. Sunday K-SHA radio.
