County Planners
Favor Variances
For Billboards
5 Variances to allow for two
billboards in zoned areas were
approved by the Jackson coun
ty planning commission last
night. The approval was for
a three-year period.
People opposing the decis
ion by the commission may
appeal to the county court
within 15 days.
Granted was a request by
Mrs. Leona Robertson, Tal
ent, for a sign on her prop
erty at the intersection of Old
Highway 99 and Highway 99
not to exceed 220 square feet.
Mrs. Robertson had requested
a sign not to exceed 500
square feet, but later reduced
the size of the sign.
a Request Is Approved.
Also approved was a re
quest for a sign in the North
Central Point zoned area by
Standard Oil company. The
sign, erected recently by the
firm after. . receiving a sign'
permit from the state, is near
the Peter Kiewit Sons com
pany gravel operation. It was
noted that neither the com
pany nor the state were aware
that the property was in a
zoned area until it had been
erected. According to state
law, local zoning regulations
have priority in which situa-
i tions.
The sign variance's ap
proval will be subject to re
view within three years in
case gravel operations in the
vicinity cease and other uses
are made of the land.
Both requests were opposed
by Commissioner Edd Roun
tree, Ashland, who felt that
neither met the requirements
as stated in the zoning ordi
nances.

Seashore Plan
Washington - (UPD - Rep.
Robert B. Duncan (D-Ore.)
Wednesday recommended cre
ation.of an Oregon Dunes Na
tional Seashore of a "little
less", than 30,000 acres.
The park, -as proposed by
Duncan, would not include
the Tahkenitch, Slltcoos and
Woahink lakes. rr-but would
provide for access to each
lake.
Duncan, who presented his
plan while Interior Secretary
Stewart L. Udall and Sen.
Maurine B, Neuberger were
in Oregon to tour the area,
said his proposal was a "compromise"-
plan.
It would not, he said, nul
lify plans for development of
wood-processing plant at
Gardiner, Ore., just outside
the proposed park area.
'The objective is to define
as fine a seashore park as
possible with nominal inter
ference with tree farms and
the wood processing indus
try." Duncan told reporters.
Duncan said he had urged
the three counties involved
to enact zoning ordinances to
protect the lakes from "unre
stricted commercial develop
ment.
Budget Hearing Is

Budget request for the ju
venile department totals $53,-012,-an
increase of $6,248.05,
and for the detention home,
$25,901, up $397.
Both Circuit Court judges
Edward C. Kelly and James
M. Main stressed that if the
county started cutting corners
in this department, the coun
ty will start losing ground in
the juvenile department. If
this should happen, the cost
and consequences would be
much greater than the amount
cut from the budget, they ex
plained. Lawrence L. Tweedy, ju
venile officer, explained that
the county s admittances to
McLaren School for Boys has
been geatly reduced because
of the counseling staff here.
He added that it is cheaper
to rehabilitate a child in the
county than sending him to
a state scnooi.
Robert Swan, detention
home superintendent, noted
that the majority of the work
at the detention home is done
by the juveniles lodged there,
This is not true in other Ore
gon counties.
Increases in the department
other than salaries were for
convention expenses, mainly
to cover a deficit for the pres
ent year, and advanced train
ing for staff. This would in
clude tuition for evening
classes in the Medford High
school adult education pro
gram and at Southern Oregon
college.
Dog Control Budget
Yesterday afternoon the
county court discussed the
county dog control board's
budget. Requested is $34,461,
of which $21,000 is estimated
to come from dog licenses,
fines and other sources with
the balance from the county
general fund.
Dog Control Officer Chis
Hagle said that if the pro
posed cat control bill is pass
ed by the state legislature
he will need more facilities
He now has two assistants
and wishes to reduce the pres
ent number of hours worked
by the present staff and seek
salary increases.
Earlier this week the coun
ty assessor's department bud
get was presented. Of the $15,
885 increase sought, $7,500
is requested for mapping and
$3,600 for equipment rental.
It was stated in Wednesday's
Man Tribune that the major
ity of the increase request had
been for salaries.
Plane Decision
Said McNamara's
Washington -IUPD- Defense
Secretary Robert S. McNam-
ara claims full responsibility
for awarding the contract to
build the new TFX fighter
plane to General Dynamics,
Fort Worth, Tex.
"As secretary of defense
my responsibilities were
clear," he told the Senate in
vestigations subcommittee
Wednesday. "T h e decision
was mine."
McNamara said in a state
ment submitted to the Senate
group that he selected Gen
eral Dynamics Corp.'s design
for the new TFX fighter plane
because it was cheaper and
more dependable than a com
peting proposal by Boeing.
Both firms would have pro
duced good airplanes and the
selection was a matter of
judgment, he said.
Brakemen Take
Time Off To
Attend Hearing
Trainmen Urge
Additional Man
Salem - (UPD - Operating
trainmen fought in a legis
lative hearing Wednesdiiy
night to keep a full compli
ment of brakemen aboard
diesel trains.
The hearing by the Senate
Commerce and Utilities Com
mittee was attended by more
than 400 persons. A railroad
spokesman, Southern Pacific
Superintenden A. W. Kilburn,
said so many brakemen took
time off to attend the hearing
that 14 freight trains had to
be cancelled. '
"We operated some trains
by substituting switchmen
for brakemen," Kilburn said.
They're adding insult to
injury by asking to be paid
for the day off."
He said 150 men "laid off
sick Tuesday night.''
Railroads last week plead
ed for elimination of Ore
gon's Full Crew Law after a
U.S. Supreme Court decision
allowing them to eliminate
unneeded employees.
Want Steam Delated
Union representatives had
their, innings Wednesday
night. They charged the word
"steam" in the present law
could enable the railroads to
overthrow present regulations
if the legislature failed to
correct the wording.
The trainmen also urged
passage of their own bill
which would require an ad
ditional brakeman on trains
of more than 100 cars.
Oregon law now requires
a six-man crew, including
three brakemen, on main line
trains. Six other states have
similar laws. The railroads
want the third brakeman elim
inated. Sen. Edward Fadeley (D-Eu-gene)
told the committee the
railroads "are faced with the
burden of proof" that main
line trains can operate safe
ly without the third brake
man. "If in doubt, you must re
solve the question in favor
of safety and the trainmen,"
he said.
Third Brakeman Urged
James Cochrane, San Fran
cisco, representing the train
men, said today's longer, fast-
trains made the third
brakeman more necessary
than ever before.
Southern Pacific engineer
Eugene Lynch, Eugene, said
enginemen were interested in
safety, efficiency and econ
omy, and cutting the crew
would increase hazards to the
public and railroad employ
ees." Adding a fourth brakeman
on long trains "would bring
the law up to date," he said.

Commission Asks
Plan to Develop
Public Property
The Medford park and rec
reation commission last night
unanimously passed a resolu
tion concerning the future de
velopment of a 97-acre tract'
of publicly owned land in the
area occupied by the Jackson
county fairgrounds and the
Medford Armory.
The group took the action
after a number of commission
ers expressed concern . that
the area, parts of which are
owned by the city, county.
state and the federal govern
ments, may develop in an
uncoordinated, hap hazard
fashion, , . .
The resolution, which will
now go to the city council
for consideration, urged that
'joint county-city planning
for the development of the
property south of Barnett rd.
and east of U.S. Highway 99"
be undertaken, and requested
that "the county not consider
any further capital improve
ments (in the area) until a
plan acceptable to both city
and county has been devel
oped." '
A variety of buildings and
uses already exist on the prop
erty, including the county
juvenile detention home and
the agriculture extension
service building. A ccunty
health department building is
scheduled for construction.
In other action last night,
the commission accepted a
scale drawing plan for a -iulti-
usc recreation court presented
to them for consideration by
Benjamin Fagone. Fagone urg
ed the court, v;hich he esti
mated might cost about
$12,000, be constructed In
Hawthorne park.
Action on the request was
postponed pending study of
a redevelopment plan for the
park, which Director Robert
Haworth said is scheduled to
arrive from the San Francisco
planning firm of Royston,
Hanamoto, Mayes and Beck
in about two weeks.
Commission Chairman
James Sullivan appointed Tod
Tibbutt, Don Reverman and
John Kent to a committee to
determine means of selecting
a name for the recently ac
quired 73-acre park site along
Bear creek.

MEDFORD, OREGON,
Questioning of
Legislative Costs
Silenced Sharply
Salem - (UPD - An attempt
to question the cost of the
1963 legislative session was
silenced in mid-sentence to
day in the Oregon House.
Rep. Joe Rogers (R-lnde-
pendence) rose to tell the
House the 1963 session was
costing $492 per day more
than 1961 for House and Sen
ate employees alone.
He said there were 30 more
employees on the legislative
payroll this year.
Then House Speaker Clar
ence Barton (D-Coquille) rul
ed Rogers out of order.
The House sustained Bar
ton's ruling by a voice vote
that sounded close.
Resolution Doubted
In response to a question,
Barton said the matter of leg
islative expense could be
brought up through introduc
tion of a resolution. But
Rogers said later it would
be impossible to get such a
resolution through the rules
committee.
Rogers' continued efforts to
speak finally prompted Bar
ton to say sharply, "Mr.
Rogers, would you take your
seat?"
Rogers said afterward the
House has 138 employees and
the Senate 120. He said if the
session runs 120 days the
employees will cost $60,000
more than last session.
When we are trying to cut
other budgets, and yet spend -
g mule uurBi-ives, wB are

the picture Wednesday, when
the 11,000-member union ap
parently was on the verge of
issuing a 72-hour strike ulti
matum. He asked both sides
to submit their differences to
arbitration "in the public in

D. J. Russell wired his accep
tance of Kennedy's proposal
immediately. But union nego
tiators met to discuss the pro
posal and were, expected to
give their answer today.
Federal Mediator Frank

Snowballs, Ice
Hurled at Building
Moscow - IUPD A shouting
mob of 1,000 Russian and
Arab students hurled snow
balls and ink bottles at the
Iraqi embassy today in pro
test against the execution of
Communists in Iraq.
"Shame to the killers," the
demonstrators shouted.
The demonstration started
quietly, with chanting, placard-waving
and speeches, but
an hour later it erupted into
violence.
The initial group of about
200 student demonstrators
many of whom apparently
came from Arab countries
was joined by additional hun
dreds who jostled passersby
and then loosed a rain of
snowballs, pieces of ice and
ink bottles on the embassy.
Reach Embassy Door
At one point, a group made
up mostly of Arab students
studying here forced its way
to the embassy door for a
moment before the police
pushed them back.
The barrage of ink bottles
smashed or cracked a number
of embassy windows and left
dripping blobs of red, green

Russia, Red China
May Patch Quarrel
Moscow - (UPI) - The Soviet
Union and Red China, the two
giants of the Communist
world, appear to be on the
verge of a big step toward
patching up their quarrel.
Western observers here said
today.
Both countries published
and broadcast an exchange of
letter In which Mao Tze-tung,
leader of the Chinese Commu
nist party and ruler of the
vast Chinese mainland, in
vited Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev to pay a visit
aimed at settling their differ
ences. ;
While there was no indica
tion that Khrushchev would
accept the invitation, Western
observers said the fact the let
ters were published here indi
cated the Kremlin at least has
a visit under serious consider

of eight closed -down news
papers, driving to get their

Newspaper Guild.
The develop m e n t s lifted
hopes that the papers might
be at newsstands again by
early next week. ;
Investigated
He said the department did
try to close one licensed homa
at one time because his staff
felt its conditions were poor.
However, a change of admin
istration has improved this
home, he said.
Kuhnz said the state health
department has only three in
spectors for the entire state
to check homes for the aged
so the state welfare baa been
trying to get the Inspection
service switched to welfare
which has more available per
sonnel. The home operators
said they are steadfastly op
posing this proposal since
they feel the welfare depart
ment la discriminatory.
