MAY 22. 1963 Annexation Plan in Ashland Referred to City Planning Group Ashland-Petitioners for and gainst the controversial Bell view area 3 annexation crowded the council cham bers here last night. Petitions requesting that the area - located south of ashland - be annexed to the city were presented. At the same time. City Recorder W. E. Bartelt reported receipt of letters from five individual property owners who had signed the pro-annexation pe tition requesting that their names be withdrawn. City Attorney Harry Sker ry ruled that signers of a petition have the legal right to withdraw their names pri or to a public hearing. Last night's meeting was not a public hearing. Harry Hawk, representing the annexation group, said that more than the required two-thirds of the property owners in the area want to be annexed. Referred to Commission The matter was referred to the city planning commis- sion, which next meets June 10. "There has been much er roneous thinking," Mayor Richard Neill declared, speak, ing on the annexation con. troversy. "The city has noth. ing to gain by annexation in the immediate future. In fact it would cost the city money." To this statement, Milton Hamilton, representing the Anti - Annexation committee, replied, "The city has approv ed the Oak Knoll develop ment with its proposed 300 residences as an economic as set. Are 247 already here not equally important' Hamilton was referring to the fact that the Ashland city council granted city water and sewer services to the pro. posed Oak Knoll develop.

Of Significant Value The exception was made because the Oak Knoll devel opment was felt to be a sig nificant economic asset to the community.

New Navy Steel May Have Use For Civilians Washington - (DPI) - A Navy project aimed at developing a submarine twice as tough as any now at sea promises some side benefits for motorists, farmers, builders and miners. The key to the project is the latest in a series of new, high-tensile steels. Tagged HY 150 by the Navy, the new steel has been produced so far only in laboratories. An alloy of the nickel-chromium-malybdenum type, Navy en gineers are aiming at using it for submarine hulls that can withstand stresses of 150,000 pounds per square inch. Subs currently built with HY 80 steel can take stresses of 80, 000 pounds per square inch. Thomas J. Griffin, chief metals engineer of the Navy's Bureau of Ships, said the new steel could have great bene fits in civilian applications. "If successfully developed, HY 150 could dominate areas where high strength and light materials are essential, he said. The most obvious civilian applications, he said, could be in further reducing the weight of steam shovels, earth mov ers, mining equipment, farm machinery, bridges - and even, perhaps, automobiles. R. C. Bassett, technical in formation officer, Bureau of Ships, said: "We would expect undersea craft built with this new ma terial to stand up better to explosive charges and to run ins with icebergs because they would have better resistance to impact and shock." He cau tioned that the project was still a long way from the ship building stage. So far, he said, no practical method has been found to weld or join the steel plates in the shipyards. Griffin said civilian appli cations "invariably follow" developments of better ma terials for military projects. Some soaring structural bridges were made possible by steels developed original ly for military applications, he said. Permits Issued - Building permits have been issued by the Medford building depart ment to Raymond Miller to put new siding on the house at 1525 Oleander ave. at a cost of $2,000; to Grandview Market, 2330 Crater Lake ave. to raise a marquee and con struct a sign frame, to cost $5,500; and to William Dun ston to rer-.odel his residence at 1116 West Fourth st. at a cost of S 1,500.

PIFUESD-EV HITS! GATES OPEN I IS - SHOW AT DUSKI u v, H 70 NG, SWINSINSlV VGIGYOtlNS Kin Galahad .V. COIOR ar Dt Ins Jllll I ELVIS ll By ALINE MOSBY Paris-tUPIt-Tlie French capi tal has launched an all-out, no-feathers-barrcd drive to make Paris p I g e o nles9. Before "Oper ation Pigeon" began a few months ago, Paris pigeon p o p u 1 ation f 1 u ttcred be tween 60,000 and 80,000. Now it's been halved, and Pierre Roger, a prefecture (police) official in charge of the campaign, esti mates Paris should be com pletely de-pigeonized by 1964. Operation Pigeon, explain ed Roger in an interview, is fourfold. First of all, a law effective Jan. 1 made it illegal to toss food to the birds that swarm around the Opera, Notre Dame cathedral and other roosting spots of Paris. Secondly, for pigeons who need further persuasion to seek their living in the coun try, Roger has opened a mam moth pigeon forced re-settlement program. Each Tuesday and Saturday morning, crews of pigeon caichcrs slip out at dawn be fore bird lovers are about. They set up a five-foot high stand with long arms like a windmill lying sideways. Un derneath they scatter grain. Ensnare Birds - While the birds peck at breakfast, a net flics out of the contraption, the ensnared birds are popped into cages and whisked in trucks 124 miles from Paris to the vil lage of Gouy-en-Artois. There the city of Paris has builv three huge wooden avi an, where the emigre pigeons are fed and housed for several days. They then arc released from the "refugee camps" to live as wild birds in the coun try. The third action of the pigeon blitz Is the systematic dcsiruction of all pigeon eggs found in bciltowcrs and at tics of public buildings, The fourth, and perhaps mort difficult, task Is to brain wash the public into believing that "Operation Pigeon" not only means a cleaner, healthi er Paris but also a better life for the pigeons. The last-named job occu pies much of Roger's time in his office filled with anti pigeon posters, pigeon statis tics, research documents and a somewhat desperate air. Propaganda "We arc starting propagan da on radio and television" he said. "I explain that pi geons arc captured carefully and taken to the country, that they are not killed. The So ciety for the Protection of Animals agreed with us on this action. "Now imagine you arc a pi geon in Paris. Crowded, push ed around, hungry, sick. You know. 60 per cent of the Paris pigeons are sick. Malnutrition. "In the country the pigeon is content. He has a family and food. Our experience shows that if they remain certain period In these coun try aviaries, they are lost, they cannot find their way back to Paris." Three years ago Paris tried another plot of feeding doped grain to pigeons so they could be caught while asleep and shipped to the country. Many of the pigeons, however, never woke up, evoking the wrath of pigeon lovers. "Also the drug gave the birds muscular contractions and people complained they were In agony," he said. "The same persons are not shocked to poison rats who die slowly or to cut off the head of a chicken." He sighed. "I am neither pro nor anti-pigeon. I was told to solve a problem and I have. Old Used for Tour Across Country Atlanta -UPI1- Sturgis Bates and his wife are among the growing number of Americans who are determined to turn back some of this Jet speed modern living. Bates, whose father was once a railroad president, in. herited a love for trains at an early age and therefore can be excused for perking up one day when he read In a maga zine about a fellow In Chica go who had bought himself a Pullman car. The thing that Interested Bates about this particular car was that its owner, Maury H Klebolt, a Chicago business' man, planned to fill it up with railroad enthusiasts and take them around tha country, "Now wouldn't that be nice," Bates mused to his wife, "taking a train trip around the country? When he added "let's do it," Mrs. Bates balked at first, then reluctantly agreed to ac company him to Chicago. There they found an old fashioned pullman car, ornate ly painted the way they did things at the turn of tne cen tury,, and occupied by, 16 strangers . they had never heard of before. For the1 next two weeks their car clickety-claoked around the country, hooked to the rear of first one train and then another, Format for the trip was to pull into a town and spend the day on a siding while the occupants of the car toured places of Interest. Then, late at night, a train going someplace else would hook on to their pullman and off again "Generally, the car (tops in each large city," Bates said "The passengers get off and go their separate ways, shopping or renting cars tor sigmseeing You eat a leisurely dinner and get back to the train about 11 o'clock at ' night. Next morning you wake up in different city." In New Orleans, the Cham ber of Commerce took the train riders on a yacht ride, and other cities plan special receptions. Us lust about spoiled, us for any other means ot irav. el," Bates said.

Many Space Dollars Used On the Ground New York UPD Space Is a funny thing. To get there, about 40 cents of every dollar spent has to pay for things that aren't going anywhere at all - ground support equip ment like the $4 million gan try for the United States' man ned moon missile. Some of the fascinating hardware the taxpayers' dolt lars are buying these days has been tracked down by Steel ways, official publication of American Iron and Steel in stitute: -Insulated steel tanks that co, lid keep boiling coffee too hot to drink for two years but are actually used to store liquid hydrogen - major rock et fuel - at 423 degrees be low zero. -A multi-million dollar space simulator for testing vehicles in an atmosphere about one-billionth of that here on earth at sea level, yet this is but a billionth the vacuum that exists In actml space! -Miniaturized steel ball bearings for Instrumentation that arc so small it takes 32. 400 of them to make a pound and that pound would cost more than $162,000 though the special steel the bearings arc made of costs about $2 a pound. Little wonder that satellite launching costs are currently estimated to run $1,000 to $2.- 000 for each pound of payload In a 300-mile orbit. Stcclways says one of the most incredible aspects of the entire space effort is the nc mand made on human perfec tion: each of a rocket's com ponent parts can have a re liability rating of 09 9905 yet when the thousands of com ponents are Joined resultant total reliability can be brought down as low as 50 per cent.

While the collapsible metal tube is commonplace for such items as toothpaste, the big area for expaniion is in a va riety of items other than den. tnl aids and cosmetics, an in dustry source said. In England and on the Con tinent, tubes are the conven tional way of marketing many items not familiar here such containers, according to the Collapsible Tube Manu facturing council. One of the advantages ot the tube is that the metal takes printing colors, pic tures, text by lithography and other methods very well the council said. A tube pro duced recently for mayon naise used rich, dark colors with vivid yellow splashes to convey a visual impression of the contents. t ,- Test 'marketings of foods in tubes have gone over very well., according to manufac turers and distributors who have tried such containers: Besides mayonnaise, ketch up and even such items as coffee in paste form are some of the food items on which planning is being pushed ' However, the manufactur ers' group believes tne big area for expansion is outside foods, cosmetics and medicin al preparations. ' Such products as court plas ter in semi-liquid paste form Is a commonplace in vending machines In bowling alleys Bowlers use it to make It pos sible to grasp a ball more firmly. Among other products In vending machines at the point of sale are bug repellents, skin protective cream, sun' tan lotion, boot waterproofing grease, gut grease, fish bait a reel lubricant, a liniment in paste form for the sports man's back, an epoxy adhe sive and a ski wax.
