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

Detroit, which had been as
sured it was "in" but may
wind up being eased out.

Flag Raising Set
At McLoughlin
One of the first 50-star
flags to fly over the White
House will be raised over Mc
Loughlin Junior High school
at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 18,
according to the McLoughlin
Junior High PTA.
The flag was sent by Presi
dent John F. Kennedy In
honor of Mis. Leigh E. Gusti
tison, past president of the
Oregon Stale PTA and Mc
Loughlin Junior High PTA.
It was presented to the Mc
Loughlin PTA through the ef
forts of last year's president,
Mrs. Max Weston.
Medford Scout Troop 105
will conduct the flag raising
ceremony. Principal 13 c r 1
Cox, officers of the McLough
lin Junior High student body
and the l!)ti2-(i:i PTA execu
tive hoard will attend. Any
one Interested is invited.
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.
Planners Approve
Request to Annex
Area to Medford
The Medford planning com
mission Thursday night
approved a request to annex
to the city property north of
Capital ave. and east of the
water reservoir site. The mat
ter will now go before the
city council for final action.
If apporved, the annexation
will be made under a law
passed by the Oregon legisla
ture in 1B61 which permits a
city to annex property on the
basis of a petition represent
ing two-thirds of the property
owners, two-thirds of the
assessed valuation, and two-
thirds of the property in the
area to be annexed.
Consent to Annexation
In the area under consider
ation, eight of the 12 proper
ty owners have consented to
the annexation, representing
26 of the 27.7 acres involved,
This amount represents 67
per cent of the total assessed
valuation of the area.
In other action, the com
mission voted to:
-Approve a request for per.
mission to build toys and chil
dren's furniture as a home
occupation at 1109 West 11th
St.
-Grant tentative approval

Unit No. 3, as revised.

Employees Ask for Hearing On Increasing Pay
The executive committee of
the Jackson County Em

said it was asking for a three
step pay increase over the
present salary scale.
The committee attached the
Civil Service pay schedule for
Douglas and Clackamas coun
ties and the City of Medford,
which ii noted is approxi
mately the same range as pro

ployee's request and did not
know when a hearing would
be set before the court and
county budget committee.
County Commissioner Don

what the county employees
are getting and about one
fourth of the people get more.
