SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1963 8 A- THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFCRD. OREGON President- Kennedy Talks, Californians Go for Walks By United Pres International When the President speaKs, Americans walk 50 miles. At least that' s what happened last week. And Californians were no exception. It all started when Presi dent Kennedy learned that President Theodore Roosevelt In 1908 prescribed a 50-mile luke in less than 20 hours as a fitness test for Marine offi cers. Kennedy then asked today's Marines could weath er the test. One group tried It and succceded-and that set off a nationwide fad. In the San Francisco Bay Area, 400 Marin county high school students took off on a 60 -mile hike. The feat was duplicated by Stanford uni versity students. In the moth- erlode country of the Sierra foothills, a University of Pa cific fraternity marched off the distance, as did three high school students who were welcomed at the state capital by acting governor Glenn An derson. These were just a few of hundreds of 50-mile hikers throughout the state. But by the end of the week the word was out. Marine re cruiters in northern California were told to forget about the marches. They were ordered neither to volunteer nor ac cept any challenges for the physical fitness test. "Your primary job is recruiting," they were informed. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Legislature: Gov. Edmund G. Brown asked the Legisla ture to end the "nightmare" of racial discrimination and adopt a seven-point human rights program. In a special message to the Senate and the Assembly, Brown said: "We have the op portunity to give to our fellow citizens the guarantees of freedom and opportunity which have been denied them for a century." Other high lights of the legislative week were the wrangling between republicans and the state fi nance director over the need for a new gubernatorial air plane; and a bill requested by Brown to allow specially marked highway patrol cars. SP: Negotiations in the lengthy dispute between Southern Pacific railroad and the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks was postponed until ately showed eagerness to scrap it out with Los Angeles and Detroit for the right to represent the United States in its bid for the Olympic Games site. Philadelphia was unde cided whether to join the battle. ' Kennedy-Hoffa: Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy and Team sters Union President James Hoffa-usually worlds apart in their opinions-were only sep arated by a few rooms in Los Angeles but did not see each other. Hoffa testified for near ly 2'4 hours before a secret Federal Grand Jury in the federal building while Kenne dy conferred with aides sev eral rooms away. Storms: Southern Califor nians mopped up in the after math of one of the most ex tensive rain-storms to hit the area in almost one full year. The storm brought up to 8.62 inches of rain in some moun tain areas. Downtown Los An geles reported 2.58 inches. Brown: Gov. Edmund G. Brown went to Washington, D. C, for a hectic round of meetings that took the better part of the week. Brown met with President Kennedy and recommended that William Bennett, a public utilities commissioner in California, be named to the Federal Power commission. He also met with Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz on the Mexican bracero program, and saw other cab inet members, the National Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration, the Democratic National Committee and the Chilean Embassy. Rusk: Secretary of State Dean Rusk gave a full ex planation of U. S. cold war tactics and continued the call for removal of all Soviet mil itary forces in Cuba. Speak ing in Los Angeles, he reiter- a t e d President Kennedy's statement that "we are rea sonably certain that the of fensive" weapons deployed by Soviets in Cuba have been re moved. But he said the U. S. cannot be certain about this without on-the-spot inspection. Trials: Two sensational mur der trials-now weeks old-con tinued in the San Francisco Bay area. In San Francisco, Iva Krocger took the stand to testify in her own behalf and became the central figure in one of the rowdiest days ever -1 NEW PRESIDENT - Vincent W.

Olympics: Los Angeles bolt ed to the forefront in a behind-the-scenes struggle for the 1968 Olympic Games de spite anguished protests by Detroit, which had been as sured it was "in" but may wind up being eased out. Los Angeles' chances were appreciably strengthened and Detroit's proportionately weakened when the United States Olympic committee in Mew York was urged by its executive committee to re consider the five cities bid ding for the Olympics.

Self-Employed to Report Nef Earnings Self-employed individuals should report their net earn ings for Social Security pur poses on Schedule C of their income tax return, Edward B. Jacobson, district manager of the Social Security office in Medford, has advised resi dents. Farm operators should use Schedule F. Report correctly and re ceive correct benefit pay ments later, he said. If self- employed people are to re ceive full social security credit for their earnings, they should file an income tax re turn each year. Net earnings count for so cial security credit, and cor rect net earnings can be fig ured only if accurate records of income and expenses are maintained, he added. A report of self-employment income to the Director of Internal Revenue at the end of each taxable year is a report for social security purposes, Jacobson pointed out. Self-employed persons re ceive credit for all four calen dar quarters in the year when net profit for tho year is $400 or more. If the net profit from the business is less than $400, no social security credit is received. Additional information on self-employment and social se curity may be obtained from fhe Medford social security office at 1017 North River side avc. The office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
