Mass Casualty
Drill To Be Held
By Local Hospitals
Medford hospitals, in con
junction with the Jackson
County Medical Society, will
hold simultaneous mass cas
ualty drill between 2 and 4
p.m. Wednesday, May 15, as
part of the local observance
of National Hospital Week.
The program is under the
direction of Dr. David C.
Boals, chairman of the emer
gency medical care committee
of the Jackson County Medi
cal Society and deputy medi
cal director of Jackson Coun
ty Civil Defense. He will be
assisted by Dr. Ray L. Caster-
line.
-'Dr. Boals pointed out that
local hospitals , for, several
years have had plans for the
care of large numbers of in
jured persons. The plans have
been worked out in accord
ance with suggestions made
by the American Medical as
sociation and the Civil De
fense agency.
These plans, he noted, have
been modified to fit the
physical plants i of the local
hospitals, and have been
adapted and altered at various
times as the situation war
ranted. Dr. Boals noted' that the
simulated mass casualty ..ex
ercises will be carried out to
determine the efficiency of
the plans and to better ac
quaint hospital personnel and
the medical staff with their
functions in the event of an
emereency.
The program a Sacred
Heart hospital will be coordi
nated between Sister Luke,
hospital administrator, and
Dr. Fred T. Burich, medical
officer in charge. Dr. Burich
and his alternate, Dr. Eugene
V. Meyerding, will be assist
ed by a team of about 20
Jackson county physicians.
Educate Personnel
At Rogue Valley hospital,
Charles I. Gustafson, hospital
administrator, and Dr. Roland
M. Mayer will coordinate the
program. Dr. Mayer's alter
nate will be Dr. Brian D.
Stringer. They also will be
assisted by a team of about 20
physicians.
Dr. Boals emphasized that
the exercise is intended to in
form and educate the hospi
tal personnel and medical
staff, and is not a civil defense
function.
The drill should provied
the hospital administration
with a better idea of the per
sonnel needed and the mate
rials that will need to be
stocked in the event of either
a local or national disaster, he
said. The drill also should
provide the medical staff
with an opportunity to eval
uate the working conditions
under such a situation.

Civil Rights Bill on
Congress Agenda
Washington - IUPD - Admin

the witness stand this week
to testify on new civil rights
legislation before the House
Judiciary subcommttee.
Despite the violence in
Birmingham, there has been
relatively little Interest dis
played in the hearings which
so far have been limited to
testimony from members of
Congress.
Chairman Emmanuel Celler
(D-N.Y.) has predicted the bill
will pass the House, but fore
sees trouble In the Senate.
The measure has little rela
tion to the issues causing dem
onstrations In Alabama.
As the only civil rights bill
proposal by the administra
tion this session, the measure
would extend the Civil Rights
Commission's life for f?ur
years beyond September,
1963; attempt to get faster ac
tion on lawsuits filed by Ne

violations; and try to prevent
the une of literacy tests to

First Half of
Countdown Over;
Clouds Expected
Recovery Area
Weather Good
Cape Canaveral, Fla. -IUPD-
Scientists moved ahead con
fidently today with plans to
send astronaut L. Gordon
Cooper, 36, on America's most
ambitious space journey Tues
day despite a threat of bad
weather.
'As of this time prepara
tions for the attempted launch
. are continuing," a federal
space agency spokesman said
at a weather briefing.
Cooper, an Air Force maj
or, is scheduled to lift off
Tuesday morning on a plan
ned 22 -orbit voyage that
would far surpass three pre
vious orbital flights by Amer
icans.
Foul weather could delay
his trip one day or possibly
longer.
The first half of a "split
countdown" for the flight was
completed at 7 a.m. (pdt) to
day. This consisted essentially
of preparing the launch facili
ties and equipment to be used
in the 34-hour flight.
If all goes well, the second
half of the countdown will
begin shortly after midnight
tonight.
Clouds Over Florida
The spokesman for the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space
administration said, "The ex
tended period of clear skies
over Florida is coming to an
end - and it now seems
quite certain that morning
cloudiness (Tuesday) over
Cape Canaveral will cover at
least half of the iky, with
Lsome. .periods Juring the morn
ing naving nearly ,. overcast.
conditions."
NASA officials expressed
confidence that the clouds
wbuld clear away sufficiently
to permit the intense camera
and tracking necessary for the
blastoff sometime between 6
a.m. and 8:30 (pdt).
The weather in the primary
recovery area In the Pacific
near Midway Island remain
ed gentle - "partly cloudy
with scattered light showers
and moderate to fresh winds
along with moderate seas. Im
proving sea conditions are ex
pected by the end of the 22nd
orbit."
Cooper planned a relatively
quiet day uoaay.
Reviews Star Charts
He was scheduled to make
at least one simulated flight
in a Mercury procedures traln-
and later review star
charts and technical informa
tion. The astronaut was to meet
with Mercury Project leaders
late today for what was de
scribed an "informal brief
ing" on the flight.
A spokesman said the dis
cussion would cover every
thing from the status of the
Atlas rocket that will boost
Cooper Into the sky at a speed
of 17,500 miles per hour to
the recovery plans.

cific Northwest Bell custom

other Jackson county com
munities this week, starting
Tuesday, May 14, according
to J. H. Crcagcr, local man
ager for the company.
The cover features , full
color scenes of Western, Cen
tral and Eastern Oregon. The
vista from Otter Crest on the
coast, a fisherman on the Des
chutes and the John Day can
yon combine to encourg?
everyone to "See all of Ore
gon." Expanded area code infor
mation for long distance call
ing will be found In the Intro
ry t
ings from Sen. Edward Ken
nedy and Congressman James
Roosevelt to Medford friends,
Duncan said: "There is no
greater friend to the western
states than Representative
Mike Kirwln, member of the
House Appropriations com
mittee. He has consistently
voted favorably on proclama
tion, recreation and conserva
tion programs In Oregon and
other western states."
The statement came when
Duncan was queried as to any
possible effects on the pro
gram from . Kirwin s . recent
disagreement with S e n ator
Wayne Morse and Congress-
woman Edith Green over the
proposed $10 million Washing
ton, D. C, fish aquarium.,
"Many people have become
alarmed over Kirwin's action
concerning O and C funds,"
Duncan stated. "'What many
don't seem to realize is that
these funds were not cut back
but were in fact raised by one-
halt million dollars. The coun
ties didn't receive as much as
requested, but It should be
brought out that funds were
not decreased when compared
to last year's allocation," the
congressman expiaiuvd,-
Casa Ravitwad
What Kirwin did do, Dun
can reviewed the case, was to
ask that a different formula
be used to determine the allo
cation of this money. How
ever, any change of formula
must go through the House
Interior committee. As a mem
ber of that committee, Dun
can declared, he doesn't ex
pect the formula to be chang
ed.
Action on the Merlin proj
eel, Duncan admitted, may be
a little premature but he
doesn't expect it to harm the
project. Supplementary funds
for the Rogue Basin project
can't be expected in fiscal
1063, but work is moving for
ward to obtain the money list
ed in the president's proposed
budget for fiscal 1064.
On the national scene, Dun
can protested that in the great
est period of prosperity in
this nation's history there is
rising unemployment and a
growing problem In educa
tion. The nation has not solv
ed tho problem of the aged
and there are still many peo
ple deprived of their social
rights, he lamented.
World Picture
Turning to the world pic
ture he warned: "If the de
struction of the human race
is to be avoided we must bring
forth the best people as can
didates for public office to
offer the needed leadership."
Speaking of the event which
brought him to Medford, the

concluded: "The Roosevelts
now belong to the world, not
to the Democrats or any other
political faction."
