Preliminary Plans
For Hawthorne Park
Presented to Group
Preliminary plans for the
development of Hawthorne
park were presented last night
to the Medford parks and rec
reation commission by Asa
Hanamoto, of Royston, Hana
moto, Mayes and Beck, San
Francisco park planning con
sultants. In addition to an overall
plan of the park, Hanamoto
showed two detailed drawings
within the park - one of
bicycle underpass for a pedes
trian -walkway and the other
a bridge entrance for a pro
posed series of pools for aes
thetic, value.'-' " '' " ;
Another sketch was a rough
study of Oregon state highway
property south of McAndrews
rd. and east of Bear creek.
Series of Pools
The plan called for a series
of pools at the northwest cor
ner of Hawthorne park which
would use water pumped from
Bear creek. The pools could
be used for settling purposes
and the water then used for
irrigation.
The area would include sep
arate pedestrian and bicycles
paths. Grades on the bicycle
concourse would vary from
10 to 4 per cent for under
passes to prevent interference
with pedestrians. Bicycle
paths would be asphalt, other
paths would be of decomposed
granite or similar "softer"
material.
East of the pools would be
a baseball field encircled to
the west and east by a three
foot mound, and to the east of
the mound would be the multi-use
slab for court games.
Pedestrian Bridge
A pedestrian bridge across
Bear creek in the pool area
was recommended by Hana
moto to tie in the two business
districts in Medford.
Benches will be placed
throughout the park and the
majority of the present trees
will be retained, he said.
He recommended enlarging
the deck space around the
present swimming pool, ex
plaining that three-fourths of

Taking Four Votes
Vatican Cily -lUfli- The Sa

failed on four ballots today to
elect a successor lo Pope John
XXIII.
The cardinals met twlce-
once this morning and again
this afternoon in the Sistine
Chapel to choose the 262nd
pope of the Roman Catholic
Church.
Each time they took two
ballots, and each time the re
sult was negative-no pope.
After each set of two bal
lots, a stream of black smoke
spiralcd up from the tradi
tional chimney atop the Sis-
tine Chapel. This meant that
the 80 cardinals present had
been unable to cast a two-
thirds majority for one of
their number to become the
new pontiff.
Speculation already was
mounting that, since no clear
favorite had emerged In the
four ballotings, a "compro
mise" pope now may come out
of the conclave.
But, at best, this could be
,oniy speculation, for no one

voting.
Although in theory any Ro

Hatfield and Goldwater Talk Politics
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Corrttpondant
Washington (Special) Ore
gon's Gov. Mark Hatfield
talked presidential politics
Tuesday with Sen. Barry
Goldwater, the darling of the
conservative wing of the Re
publican party, and expressed
doubts about the political
future of New York's Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller, the lib
eral hopeful.
Hatfield said he admires
Goldwater but doesn't agree
with him on many Issues. He
agrees more with Rockefeller
on issues, but has misgivings
about public reaction to the
New Yorker's personal life.
Although Goldwstcr's stock
is rising as a contender for
the COP presidential nomina
tion next year, Hatfield
said: "I think the race is
wide open."
Hatfield believes that
Rockefeller has seriously
damaged his prospects by hit
recent remarriage to a di
vorcee after the governor s
4 "
divorce from his own 32-ycar-old
wife.
The Oregon governor said
It is evident from his own
mail that there is a ground
swell of moral Indignation
running against Rockefeller.
He said women, especially,
hold strong critical views
about the Rockefeller di
vorce, but that his mail in
cludes protest letters from
men as well.
Rockefeller and Hatfield
have often been linked politi
cally as a possible GOP team
in the 1964 presidential elec
tion. But Hatfield is Inclined to
think the presidential nomi
nation will go to a dark
horse candidate.
The youthful governor
flew from Salem to Washing
ton Monday to lunch with
President Kennedy and seven
other governors at the White
House Tuesday to discuss
civil rights problems.
One of his luncheon com
panions was Pennsylvania's
GOP Gov. William Scranton,
with whom Hatfield also
chatted. Scranton Monday
said he would probably be a
favorite son candidate next
year.
"I like him very much," ob
served Hatfield.
As for Goldwater, he said:
"I am greatly Impressed with
him as a man of conviction.
I don't agree with him on a
lot of Issues, but he Is a man
of obvious sincerity. I don't
think he's playing to the
galleries."
Ironically, Republican Hat
field had never been Invited
to lunch by the chief execu
tive he helped elect, Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, but
got his first social Invitation
to the executive mansion
from Democrat whom he
tried to defeat, - John F.
Kennedy. '
"He was very gracious,"
said Hatfield, explaining that
Kennedy took the governor
on i personal tour ot the his
toric mansion, Including the
second story where he
showed them the Lincoln
Room which Is off-limits to
the public.
After two hours In the
White House, Hatfield
emerged from the front por
tico with the other governors
and candidly said later that
it had been a thrilling experience.
The only Oregon problem
Hatfield mentioned during
the visit was Tongue Point,
the abandoned naval base
near Astoria, which the gov-'
ernment has proposed for
auction to private interests
as surplus property. He said
Kennedy remarked rather
wryly that Sen. Wayne Morse
had made him very much
aware ot Tongue Point.
Hatfield conferred with
Morse in the senator's office
Tuesday morning to d'scuss
Tongue Point and the Board
man industrial site on which
they hiive cooperated. He said
he told Morse that the stele
had notified the Boeing Co.
that it was prepared to make
available the lOlf.OOO seres
along the Columbia River
near Boardman for the com
pany's future use.
