City Budget Group
Approves Request
Of Library Board
The Medford citizens' budget
committee last night tenta
tively approved a request
from the Public Library of
Medford and Jackson County
for an increased appropriation
of $7,966 over the $44,266 it
received from the city last
year.
Dr. John T. Brandenburg,
chairman of the library board,
told the committee the library
was requesting about 37 per
cent of its proposed $20,000
budget increase this year from
the city. The Jackson county
court, he said, was being
asked for the other 63 per
cent of the budget increase.
The motion to grant, on a
tentative basis, the additional
$7,966 was made by Council
man Robert L. Van Sickle.
The motion passed by a 10 to
2 vote.
Displays Charts, Graphs
Dr. Brandenburg displayed
a series of charts and graphs
indicating the status of the
library in a number of areas
as compared with selected
other libraries in the state.
Councilmen Terry Green
and William Singler both in
dicated their support of the
library but expressed serious
concern over where the extra
$7,966 was going to come
from.
City Manager Robert Duff
said the only feasible sources
of increasing the city's reve
nue were "not very popular"
ones. He said the business li
cense tax could be upped, and
parking meter rates and fines
increased.
But Van Sickle said he'd
"happily sacrifice a fireman
or a policeman to get a better
library."
Following passage of the
motion, the committee began
its second department-by-department
review of the bud
get. The committee is sched
uled to meet again at 7:30
o'clock tonight. Their deliber
ations must be finished by the
end of this week, according to
the schedule for completion
and acceptance of the budget.

MEDFORD, OREGON,
Tuesday night to back up de
segregation demands. Police
arrested 34 demonstrators.
There were no incidents
during the march but there
were some tense moments
when the demonstrators pass
ed street corners crowded
with white youth. Police
charged 15 of the arrested
group with assault against
Leslie Ferguson, assistant
manager of a cafeteria, who
was "put in a state of fear"
during a sit-in attempt.
A bi-racial committee held
a two-hour meeting in Raleigh
Tuesday and bank official Vic
tor Bell Jr. said "I think we
made good progress in under
standing each other and the
problem." Earlier the Raleigh
Ministerial Association voted
42-1 in favor of desegregating
business facilities.
Birmingham was relatively
quiet Tuesday and federal ob
servers said the city's racial
atmosphere was "improving."
They added, however, that
federal troops would remain
at nearby military bases be
cause of the chance of- "trou
ble developing quickly."
Alabama Gov. George Wal
lace sent another telegram to
President Kennedy demand
ing either the removal of the
troops or publication of "the
true fact of your military op
eration . . ." Wallace said the
presence of the troops was an
'open invitation to a resump
tion of street rioting by law
less Negro mobs, on the as
sumption they will be protect
ed by federal military forces."
Violence Threatened
Administration sources in
Washington said that white
Birmingham citizens who took
part In working out a desegre
gation agreement with Negro
leaders have been threatened
with violence. These sources
said the bombings of a Negro
house and motel which touch
ed off the rioting were aimed
at destroying the agreement.
Negro students at Nashville,
in the face of opposition from
their own leaders, called off
a planned demonstration in
the Tennessee capital Tuesday
night.
Arrest Clears Five
Police Cases Here
Mae Crystal Schroeder, 29,
whose last address was Issa
quah, Wash., was arrested by
Medford police this morning
for disorderly conduct. The
arrest, police added, cleared
five other cases.
According to police, Mae
Schroeder has a record of
nine arrests locally between
October, 1958, and February,
1959. Police were called short
ly after 5 o'clock this morn
ing where someone was re
ported firing a pistol in front
of the Whistle Stop Cafe, 226

Police arrested the woman,
who pleaded guilty to the
charge in municipal court and
was sentenced to five days in
the city jail, and her com

Mitchell of a local hotel, on
a charged of drunk in public.
He pleaded guilty to the
charge this morning and was
sentenced to three days in the

Citizens1 Advisory
Committee Plans
Discussed
Initial steps in formation of
citizens' advisory commit
tee to study and submit re
ports to the school board' of
District 549C were taken at
a special meeting of the board
last night.
The board discussed organ-
izaion of such a committee,
and what the committee's pur
pose should be,
Although many details of
an advisory committee's or
ganization remain to be work
ed out, the board indicated
agreement that such a com
mittee should be organized
in the near future to study
the secondary school problem
in the district, and relate the
educational program offered
to building needs.
Appoint Chairman -
The board also agreed that
it should appoint the chair
man and vice chairman of the
advisory committee. The
chairman, board members
pointed out, is not a voting
member, and a person well
versed in parliamentary pro
cedure to organize and keep
the committee active should
head such a group. '
Educational specifications
for the secondary program
should be presented to the
advisory committee, the board
noted, and the comprehensive
program explained to the
group, listing both pros and
cons and reasons why the dis
trict offers the program it
does.
From the citizens' advisory
committee could be organized
smaller groups or sub-committees,
each electing its own
chairman, to study specific
fields, such as building sites,
present buildings, enrollment
trends, and type of construc
tion most suitable for this
area.
Board Member Frank Bash
argued in favor of an individ
ual who would serve in a liai
son, or executive secretary,
capacity.
Such a person, he said,
would be available to provide
information for the advisory
committee or refer the com
mittee to the source of infor
mation. The individual also
would keep the administra
tion and school board inform
ed of progress of the commit'
tee.
The board pointed out that

by Board
an advisory committee's func
tion is advisory only, although
it will report, probably in the
form of recommendations, to
tne scnool board. The school
board can not abrogate its le
gal responsibility.
Formation of a citizens' ad
visory committee has been
considered for some time by
Medford school administra
tors, and discussed informal
ly by board members. Admin
istrators and board members
discussed with educators in
other districts in the country
their experiences with advi
sory committees on recent
Oregon Program in - service
observation trips.
The experience tn most
cases has been rewarding,
and in many districts the use
of citizens' advisory groups
has increased after the initial
experience.

The Air Force major rose into the sky atop an Atlas
rocket at 6:04 a.m. (pdt) under orders, if all goes right, to
soar around the earth 22 times in about 34 hour.

Cooper completed his first
orbit at 7:38 a.m., his second
at 9:08 a.m., and the third
at 10:35 a.m. He had reported
at the end of his second flash
around the world that he was
"very comfortable."
Williams said after the
third round trip that Cooper
was performing all of his
space experiments - designed
to aid the longer Gemini and
Apollo moon flights of the
future - on schedule.
Releases Flashing Lights .
One of his experiments,
however, did not work out
well. In this third orbit he
released a 10-pound sphere,
about the size of a duck pin
bowling ball, carrying two
flashing lights.
The idea was to see wheth
er astronauts could easily spot
beacons in the sky. Such bea
cons might be used to guide
astronauts of the Gemini and
Apollo programs to other
spacecraft in orbit.
But Cooper, according to
the Mercury control center
here, reported he was not im
mediately able to see the
lights from the little ball
traveling near him in space.
in an effort to get a Klimrjse
of them, he took over personal
control of his Faith 7 cabin,
swinging the craft around in
space. Williams said it was
possible the sphere was drift
ing too close to the cabin to
be easily seen.
Earlier, after reporting he
was very comfortable. Coooer
had added, "In fact, I had
little nap." He is scheduled to
grab a full eight hours of
sleep, if he wants it, 'starting
alter his ninth orbit tonight.
At the start of his fourth
orbit Cooper passed the marks
set by America's first four as
tronauts - Alan Shepard and
Virgil Grissom, who made
suborbital flights, and John
Glenn and Scott Carpenter
who each made three orbits.
Spaceman Walter M. Schirra
Jr. did six orbits last October.
Length of Orbit
Asked how long Cooper
could stay in orbit, Williams
said only that the capsule's or
bit was such that it could stay
aloft for "the expected life
time of the mission."
On previous manned flights,
however, officials had said
capsules in similar orbits prob
ably could have stayed up for
a week or perhaps longer.
This would be far too long for
Cooper, who carried only a
three-day supply of oxygen.
One of the astronaut's first
remarks after his roaring
climb into orbit was, "It felt
real pretty."
Completion of the planned
22 orbits would bring him
down in the Pacific Ocean
about 100 miles southeast of
Midway at around 4:20 p.m.
(pdt) Thursday.
If Cooper goes the full 22
orbits, he will pass over more
than 100 countries and pos
sessions. For the first time tin
American astronaut will fly
over Communist territory.
The planned track crosses Red
China six times.

The addition will be able
to handle up to 140 students,

the per pupil cost, and at the
same time increasing the
value of instruction of the

The Wilson addition will

exception there will be no

Mayfield noted, is two-fold:
1. With moveable walls on
the interior, other walls,
where windows ordinarily
would be, become more valu
able for blackboard space.
2. In many of the schools
visited in other parts of the
country under the Oregon
Program in-scrvlec observa

out windows were well liked
by teachers and pupils, al
though during the first teach

a -.meeting for Thursday to
discuss what, if anything,
should be changed in tha
1963-64 budget before It is

The budget was voted
down at the May 6 election.
At a public meeting last
night, the school board ant!
budget committee spent two
hours listening to specific
complaints about the budget
and answering questions.
About 25 persons wero pres
ent. Most of the complaints
were registered by one man,
Ted Fredenburg long-timo

He objected to the board's
granting of an across the
board $200 a year raise to
teachers, stating he did not
approve of the concept of try

School board members an
swercd that teachers' salaries,
even with the increase, are
among the lowest in the area,
average of some $400 a
year lower than the scale
paid In the Prospect school
district.
Fredenburg also objected to
the board's plan to hire a full

one additional teacher.
He went on to cite instances
where he felt the budget com

he said.
Wolfe said he originally harl
favored a tunnel through the
Siskiyous, but this would cost
an extra several million dol
lars. He did not know what
the estimated cost of the pro
posed highway section would
be. He estimated complctltlon
date as 1965 or 1967.
Wolfe also explained the
state highway department
offers two forms of assistance
to relocated property owners.
Help is given in finding a
