SEC To Aik End of 'Double
The Securities & Exchange commission is about to ask
Congress to pass a law ending the odd and unjustifable
"double standard" with which

You can be sure that if and when your company's officers,
Hirorinr or larBe stockholders trade in your stock, this In
formation will be made public. You can be sure that when

nnoH in reach a sound decision on how to vote.
You can be sure of all this because under the basic dis-
Hnoiirn renuiremcntu of the
companies with shares listed
give you this Information.
But when you buy shares of a corporation riot listed on
any exchange and traded only in the over-the-counter
markets, you cannot be sure you'll get any of this. Your
company may be of the highest quality and it may, if it so
decides, give this information to you. But the law does
not require unlisted corporations to make periodic fi
ancial reports or to tell you about insider deals or to give
you full proxy information.
This is scarcely a minor matter. As Keith Funston, presi
dent of the New York Stock
back as November 1961, of around ZS.UUO corporations wun
shares being traded in the U.S., only about 2,2000 are listed
on any exchange and thus come under the disclosure pro-
uk nni nf Mr 1934 act. UI
3,600 are widely enough held to be considered "publicly
!.,nH " Thnsn 3.(100 nubliclv-ownod companies are in gen
eral under no obligation to
their activities.
From the viewpoint of the public Interest, there is no
valid reason why you, an Investor In an uniisted company,
should be denied Information automatically given to an in
vestor in a listed company and as a result of its probe the
'SEC apparently has finally caught up with Funston and
other thoughtful 'Wall Street leaders on this. ,
Whaf would happen if Congress does go along and does
require basic financial information from all publicly-hed
companies with a specified total of stockholders? What
would happen would be a powerful movement by unlisted
companies to lilt their shares on one of tho regional stock
exchanges in our country today. (Funston sees few going
on the Big Board because not many companies not now
listed would qualify for the NYSE, but he does see "the
smaller, publicly-held companies as well suited to listing
on the regional exchanges.")
This would not only mean that you would get much more
information on companies in which you buy stock. It also
would mean you'd get better information on the price at
which your stock Is selling at any time during a trading day
and on the volume of daily transactions. 11 would provide a
nivnno sour to more effective self-regulation of the securities.
for the exchanges have machinery to police themselves. It
surely would help raise the standards for securities salesmen
nnri Rni'iiritles firms.
No one ever-has convincingly argued that tho double
uinnriiirri in In the best nterest of the investor ana tins
applies particularly to large, important companies. The 1060
61 scandals in the over-the-counter markets on "hot" new
issues, phony quotations, high-pressure selling techniques
have simply underlined that it Isn't and now the SEC ,will
set the stage for Congressional action.

Flume Gets Repairs

to Eagle Point Irrigation Dis
trict Manager Larry Silveira.
According to Silveira, all
of the work from the installa
tion to the steel work fabrica
tion, which was done in the
district's shops, was done by
district employees. C. J. Kelly
is foreman of the crew with
Pete Lane, Jim Bunker and
J. R. Long assisting him. Con
struction cost has been kept to
less than $2,000.

His remarks, of course, had
nothing to do with germane
ness. They were concerned
with germination. It is best
not to get the two terms con
fused. Germaneness, as the term
applies to the Senate, occurs
when a senator says some
thing that has some connec
tion with the subject under
discussion.
On the day that Dirksen
memorialized the marigolds,
the Senate session began with
a prayer by the chaplain.
More Short Addresses
Then the Senate heard a
number of short addresses,
the topics of which included
strip mining, rain making, in
land waterways, uniform lime
standards, record falsification,
dual rate contracts, anchor
lights and fog signals, unfair
commercial activities and air
pollution.
These were followed by a
scries of other short address
es on human treatment of
animals, conservation of ana
dromous fish, flying the flag
over the wrekage of the
USS Utah and honorary citi
zenship for Winston Church

New Restaurant Opens Monday
At Medford Municipal Airport
A completely new restaur
ant opened Monday afternoon
at the Medford municipal air
port. The restaurant has been
closed for the past several
months for remodeling. It is
now operated by Vern Lan
ford, formerly of Napa, Calif.,
who has been associated with
The Brave Bull and The
Colony here.
The restaurant will seat 00
and will be open from 6 a.m.
to 9 p.m., seven days a week,
It has a staff of seven. The
restaurant has white walls,
and modern steel chairs and
tables of charcoal, olive green,
aquamarine and brown. The
windows along the wall front
ing on the landing strip have
vertical louvers. The modern
lighting fixtures are of green,
blue and orange glass.
A counter, seating 12 per
sons, is along the west wall.
Reviews History
During a luncheon Monday
for city officials and other
invited guests. City- Manager
Robert A. Duff reviewed the
history of eating establish
ments at the airport.
The first was established in
the old hangar building when
it opened in 1929 and was
operated by Dean Dow until
World War II. At that time
the operation was taken over
by the Red Cross and was
open 24 hours a day as Wing
Inn. It served food to the
thousands of service person
nel who passed through the
airport during the war.

suing them a license.
Hoffman pointed out that
the course is free and all
young people expecting to use
a gun or be around others us
ing a gun should take the
course before hunting season.
Why clutter up your modern home with
furnaces, flues, vents, fuel tanks, pipes?
If clean-as-light electric energy provides per
fect, draft free comfort . . . why bring fire
inside your home and with it fumes, odors,
and messy flame by-products?
If you can install an electric heating system
for less money ... if an electric system
requires almost no cleaning, maintenance, and
repairs . . . why add these costs to your
annual heating bill?
Before You Build
Rosenbalm assumed manage
ment of the restaurant. An
item in the Mail Tribune on
Oct. IS that year stated:
"Scores visit the airport on
business daily and in addition
many others drive out to
watch the coming and going
of the planes, and perhaps en
joy a bite to eat at the res
taurant which, known as
Wing Inn, was a world-famous
refreshment spot for fliers
during the war."
Building Reserved
Later the operators were
Mrs. Rosenbalm and Mrs.
Judith Fisher. One wing of
the building was reserved for
the restaurant, the other wing
was converted into a resi
dence which was sold In 1981.
With the opening of the
new Medford Airport Union
terminal building on April
27, 1953, the restaurant
moved into the new structure
and was operated by Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Towne.

Claim Holders to
Contact Bureau
The Portland land office of
the bureau of land manage
ment is asking holders of min
ing claims in Jackson county
to contact it concerning the
surface rights on their claims.
Public Law 167, passed in
1955, provides for multiple
use management by the gov
ernment of the surface re
sources of unpatented mining
claims so long as it does not
interfere with mining oper
ations. The land office wants to
know if there are any un
patented mining claims locat
ed prior to the 1955 act, so
that rights to timber and com
mon varieties of mineral ma
terials can be determined.
The law automatically gives
the government the right to
manage or dispose of surface
resources on unpatented min
ing claims located after July
23, 1955, but does not affect
the rights of mining claimants
to prospect and mine their
claims. Therefore, verified
statements should only be
filed if the claims were locat
ed before the 1955 act.
The area involved Is land
under the jurisdiction of the
BLM and located in various
parts of Jackson county. Any
one having an interest in any
mining claims in that area
may obtain additional infor
mation on the subject by con
tacting the manager, land of
fice, bureau of land manage
ment, 710 NE Holladay St.,
Portland 12, Ore.

The opening was a gala oc
casion and was attended by
some 460 persons, according
to an article in the Mail Trib
une. The article stated:
"The dinner, one of the
Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce's regular member
ship meetings, was open to the
public to hear talks on avia
tion and airport progress, and
inspect the new building.
Provided by Elks
"Tables provided by the
Medford Elks lodge were run
the length of the 120 foot long
concourse of the building, and
through the lobby."
The Townes operated the
restaurant, called Tolk o'
Towne, until Aug. 26, 1954,
when it was sold to Mr. and
Mrs. William H. Fisher to con
tinue to operate it until Nov.
22, 1962.
The restaurant is now
called "The Skyroom."
During the Monday lunch
eon Medford Mayor James
Dunlevy introduced the res
taurant's owner commenting
on his "faith in our city."
