Debris of Missing
Tanker Located
Miami, Fla.-OIPD-A life jack
et stenciled with two words
Sulphur Queen and a mass
of debris were found today
in the vicinity where the
tanker Marine Sulphur Queen
vanished Feb. 3 with 39 men
aboard.
A Navy torpedo retriever
vessel found the life jacket
and the debris floating in the
Florida Straits about 14 miles
southeast of Key West, Fla.,
the Coast Guard announced.
The debris was not im
mediately identified. The
Coast Guard sent a patrol
boat and plane to the scene.
The 524-foot tanker, which
sailed Feb. 2 from Beaumont,
Tex., for Norfolk, Va., with
cargo of molten sulphur in
its tanks, sent its last radio
message the following day
from a position west of Key
West.
The Coast Guard said it was
resuming its search for pos
sible survivors among the
crewmen, most of whom came
from the Galveston-Beaumont
and Houston areas of Texas.
A week-long air and sea
search of the Atlantic and
the Gulf of Mexico was
abandoned Feb. 14 after it
had failed to turn up any
trace of the missing tanker.
The Navy reported that a
quantity of debris was found
floating in the water along
with the life jacket. Coast
Guard vessels will recover all
of it they can to aid investi
gations in solving the mystery.
Jacksonville To
Sell Sewer Bonds
Jacksonville - The $25,000
in bonds to finance construc
tion of Jacksonville's sewer
system will be put up for
sale Tuesday, March 19, the
city council decided here last
night.
Councilrhen adopted an or
dinance calling for bids on
the purchase of the bonds.
Bids may be submitted until
8 p.m. March 19. At that hour,
bids will be opened by the
council.
City officials hope to see
the sewer installation project
expected to take about
six months completed this
summer. Mayor E. O. Graham
expressed hope that work
could begin as early as May.
Voters approved the $250,-
000 bond issue Nov. 7, 1961,
but the council decided to
wait until this year to con
struct the system, so that the
entire project could be com
pleted during the dry months
of the year.
The ordinance adopted last
night calls for the first $8,000
of the bonds to mature in
1968 and the final $18,000 to
mature in 1987. The city,
therefore, will have only to
pay the interest until 1968,
leaving a cushion of funds
available in case costs of the
project exceed the amount of
the bond issue.

bill and scuttled a proposal to
establish a pilot program on

NThe committee also tabled
an amendment to the school

basic school funds for sum

four teachers' tenure pro

measures tabled by the com
mittee, five were held over
Elimination of
ADC Program in
Oregon Proposed
Salem - IUPU - Elimination
of the aid to dependent chil
dren program in Oregon, now
helping some 1,000 families,
was called for today in a bill
by Rep. Robert Jones (R
Beaverton). "The program has encour
aged indolence rather than
productivity," Jones said.
The federal help program
was set up in 1961 during a
period of high unemployment
to help the children of job
less parents.
Two - thirds of the ADC
funds are federal, as contrast
ed with the general assistance
programs where all the mon
ey comes from the states and
counties. Jones said the origi
nal idea was to shift some
general assistance cases to the
ADC program.
"This has failed to happen,"
Jones said. "In spite of ADC,
the general assistance rolls in
Oregon have increased."
Families Attracttd
He said because of lower
residence requirements and
higher benefits, ADC has at
tracted families who would
have made a greater effort
to find work if the only al
ternative Were the stricter
general assistance program.
Jones said average month
ly benefits for an ADC fami
ly amount to $183, compared
to $60 for a general assist
ance family.
"Families tend to stay on
ADC twice as long," he said.
Jones said Oregon is one
of 15 states in the nation to
participate in ADC, and the
only one in the west. He said
ADC probably has drawn sea
sonal workers to Oregon from
other western states.
Would Shiit Cases
An appropriation of $4.3
million is proposed for the
Oregon program during the
coming biennium. Jones said
the effect of abolishing ADC
would be a temporary shift
of genuine need cases to the
general assistance rolls.
"The needy and those who
cannot help themselves
should have their basic needs
taken care of," he said.
But I do not think we
should establish a steady in
come for these people," he
said, "because this fosters de
pendence on welfare and de
stroys the individual's cre
ativity." Garcia Indicted by
County Grand Jury
Robert Joseph Garcia
24,
of 113 Tripp St., Medford, was
indicted bv a Jackson county
grand jury yesterday on
misdemeanor charge of as
sault and battery.
Garcia was arrested Christ
mas Eve, Dec. 24, on charges
of assault and battery while
unarmed by means of force
likely to produce great bodily
injury. Medford police said
they found him beating his

state support for community
colleges.
Approved by the committee
were bills changing the
method of computing rural
school district tax levies,
increasing the allowances
for teaching mentally retard
ed children, and one teacher's
tenure law change.
More Study Decided
The committee decided to
give more study to a bill
which would enable parochial
school students to participate
in the state's gifted children
program. The committee
wanted to study the constitu
tionality of the proposal.
A bill to limit creation of
new. community colleges is to
be reviewed, and amended by
the committee.
Also to get more study are
teachers' certification pro
posal, a rural school district
boundary proposal, and a
community college finance
measure.
Board Reaffirms
Tuition Policy
Of District 549C
The District 549C school
board last night reviewed and
reaffirmed its policy of ac
cepting tuition students in the
district, pointing out that the
policy would continue.
The policy has been ques
tioned by area residents,
school officials noted.
Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield,
superintendent, pointed out
that the district s policy is to
accept tuition students as
long as they do not crowd
facilities. He added that the
district has never had to add
classrooms because of the
number of tuition students.
The district has accepted
tuition students for several
years, and this year has about
18 students paying tuition
from other school districts.
Other Action
In other action last night,
the board reviewed a pro
posed code of conduct for stu
dents of Medford High school.
The code, which includes sug
gestions for student conduct
from school administrators,
school board members, high
school faculty members, and
representatives of the student
body.
Upon completion, the code
will be distributed to high
school students, probably
later this spring.
School officials indicated
that a similar code will be
adopted for junior high school
and elementary school stu
dents of the district.
The board also approved
election personnel and voting
precincts for the budget elec
tion, which is scheduled April
3.

Work on Proposed
Budget for549C Is
Completed
The budget committee of
School District 549C last
night completed work on the
proposed budget for fiscal
year 1963 - 64, authorizing
$104,000 for construction of
additional classrooms needed
next year, and cutting about
$97,000 from items originally
proposed.
School administrators are
now making revisions ap
proved by the committee last
night, and the budget is ex
pected to be completed by to
morrow. Superintendent Dr. Leonard
B. Mayfield pointed out that
the budget is an austere one,
and reductions made will not,
administrators believe, weak
en the academic program of
fered. Most of the items cut
from the budget are items
which will be worked into
succeeding budgets since
many of them involve ma
terials, equipment or remodel
ing work.
Classrooms Needed
At least five additional ele
mentary school class rooms
will be needed when school
starts next fall, the commit
tee was told. Four of them
will be needed at Wilson
school, and one will be added
at Lone Pine school.
The committee added $104,
000 to the budget to handle
construction of the class
rooms, since there is not now
sufficient time between now
and September to hold a bond
election, sell the bonds and
construct the needed facilities.
Without the five classrooms,
the first grade at Lone Pine
school and the first three
grades at Wilson school would
be required to be double
shifted; that is, half the stu
dents attending class in the
morning and the other half
in the afternoon.
Based on Census
The need for five new class
rooms is based on the 1962
school census.
Also in the budget are funds
for construction of temporary
classrooms at Medford High
school to relieve crowded con
ditions there next year.

To Vacate Alley
Gets Approval
A request by Mann's De
partment store to vacate the
west 100 feet of the alley in
Block 13, original town, was
approved by the Medford
planning commission in a
special meeting yesterday
afternoon.
The request, which would
clear the way for a proposed
extensive remodeling of the
department store, will now qo
before the city council for
final action.
John Moffat, president of
Mann's, told the planning
commission the store had been
looking for some years for
ways to expand their opera-
ion, but had encountered dif
ficulty in finding a parcel of
land in the downtown area
of sufficient size to take care
of their needs.
Purchase Building
Moffat said some time ago
the store had purchased the
building currently occupied
by Western Thrift store, 30
North Central avc., which is
ust across the alley from
Mann's.
If the request to vacate the
alley Is approved, Moffat said,
a remodeling project would
be undertaken which we-uld
combine the two buildings, in
cluding the west 100 feet of
the alley between them.
Moffat proposed that the
city would be paid the sum
of $1,000 per square foot for
the alley space used, a total
amount of $20,000.
City Manager Robert Duff
told the commission thai the
city had studied the request
and had no objection, provid
ed adequate area was main
tained In the remainder of the
alley for trucks to -turn
around
Will Determine Price
Duff said the city would
have the alley parcel apprais
ed to determine a fair price,
and that any vacation of the
alley would be subject to re
version. Commission Bert Thlerolf
asked Moffat whether Mnnn's
present location had complete
ly outworn its usefulness.
Moffat replied that the
store was 'holding its own,
but that it was not showing
sufficient sales increases due
to increased competition and
Mann's limited floor space.
He said that Medford Archi
tect Jack Edson had checked
the structural condition of the
two buildings involved and
had determined they were
suitable for the remodeling
project.

Treaty Would
Bind Atlantic,
Warsaw Pads
West Continuing
Test Ban Efforts I
Geneva - IUPD - Russia for
mally proposed at today's ses
sion of the disarmament talks
here that the West conclude
non-aggression pact with
Communist Europe.
The text of a proposed
treaty submitted to the con
ference would bind the Atlan
tic and Warsaw (Soviet-satel
lite) pact to "refrain from at
tack, the threat or use of
force against one another in
any manner inconsistent with,
the purposes and principles
of the United Nations Char
ter."
The idea of a non-aggres
sion pact has been advanced
by Russia before, here and
at the United Nations. Th8
West has displayed little en
thusiasm for the idea.
Continuing Efforts
The United States charged
today that Russia is avoid
ing agreement on a nuclear
test ban, but said it will con
tinue to press for "give and
take bargaining."
U.S. chief negotiator Wil
liam C. Foster told the 17-na-tion
Disarmament conference
that the gulf between the So
viet and Western positions on
a test ban "has deepened."
Referring to the Soviet re
fusal to resume direct nego
tiations on a nuclear treaty
with the Western powers, he
said "I reluctantly conclude
that the Soviet Union rather
than the United States and
the United KinniHom is intent
on avoiding agreement."
Russians Claim
The Russians have been
claiming here that the two
Western nuclear powers have
been trying to avoid an ac
cord that would end testing.
We are . willing and in
tend to engage .in give and
take negotiations on all ma-
w issues' which must be
I agreed upon . If we are to
reach agreement on a nuclear
