(UPI) Hospitals Present Court With Bills Totaling $47,000 Jackson county's three hos pitals presented unpaid bills to the county court Friday afternoon totalling $47,000. The county court promised to review the bills, but took no action Friday. The money will come from the 580,000 county relief fund if an allo cation is authorized. Rogue Valley hospital pre sented total bills of $25,000, Ashland Community hospital $5,000 and Sacrod Heart, $17,- 000. The indigent patient bills are presented each year to the county court in Oc tober, March and June. S3 A Day The three hospital adminis trators and business mana gers, Jack Sturmbcrg, Sac red Heart; William Huntley, Ashland; and Charles Gustaf son, Rogue Valley, said each hospital expends the equival ent of $3 a day in charity. The Rogue Valley repre sentative estimated that of the hospital's $l'i million an nual income it should re ceive, 10 per cent represents unpaid bills. Transients make up a large portion of the bills, the three representatives agreed. Quite a few come from elderly resi dents. The state welfare com mission's new extension of the medical aid to the ag-d program will help, they said. Lot Somt Incomt However, they also esti mated the three hospitals are losing 40 per cent income on welfare patients due to the welfare commission's system of pro-rating hospital bills. Jackson county people are apparently healthier and few er are unemployed compared to other counties which has resulted in fewer charity pa tients in Jackson county hos pitals than in other counties, the three men agreed. The county pays about one third of the overall unpaid bills from the three hospitals, it was estimated. About 20 per cent of the local hospital admissions are from out of county. Hole Blasted in Berlin Wall; 'K' Facing New Crises Berlin - OJPU - Anti-Com munists blasted a hole in the Berlin wall Saturday in de fiance of the East Berlin visit of Premier Nikita S.

The wall waj not pierced and the concrete slab on the top was not disturbed. The explosion, the 17th since the wall went up Aug. 13, 1961, was about 250 yards from the Fricdrichstrasse crossing point known as Checkpoint Char ley. At New Low Relations between the So viet Union and Communist China plunged to an all time low Saturday and Western diplomats were speculating openly that Romanian leaders might be snubbing Khrush chev, perhaps to line up with Albania on the side of Red China. Communist sources said Saturday night Khrushchev was planning to open a Red summit meeting in Berlin to day - a day ahead of previous plans. Leaders from Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Bulgaria either were here or expected by this morning.

Court Approves Change In Curve The county court Friday agreed that the curve angle near the intersection of Table Rock and Modoc rds. should be changed, but did not say when the work would be scheduled. Lawrence Dclos Hull, 46, a long time orchardist in the Table Rock district, was kill ed Wednesday morning in front of his home near the in tersection when the brake reach broke on a logging truck and the out-of-control loaded trailer hit Hull. County Commissioner Ed win Taylor, who lives in the area said Friday he had sign ed a petition to be presented the county court for straight ening the curve. A request earlier that speed limits be set on the road was rejected by the state speed control board, County Judge Earl M. Miller noted. The county court had ap proved the request made in two petitions presented by the Table Rock Ladies' club. County Engineer Robert J. Carstensen said the curve could not be blamed for Wednesday's fatality. member Etienne Fajon also arrived Saturday. But there "wis still no an nouncemen(that Romanian party leader Gbeorghe Gheor-ghiu-Dej was coming, and no sign that he had arrived. Dip lomats said they wondered whether Romania had decid ed to boycott the expected conference, but some sources said he had been ailing. It was noteworthy that Ro mania alone of the East Euro pean satellites published June 14 attack by Communist China on Khrushchev's poli cies of "peaceful coexistence," Publication of the attack was banned in the Soviet. Sino-Soviet relations chill ed further Saturday with the Peking charge that Russia has demanded the recall of five Chinese nationals, three of them embassy employee from the Soviet Union for dis tributing pamphlets contain ing the attack on Khrushche. The Peking move came In the wake of Khrushchev's charge, also published Satur day, that China had pushed relations between the two countries "to the limit." Other Speculation In Moscow and other Euro pean t-pitals there was spec ulation, too, that a July 5 meeting in the Soviet capital designed to heal the rift be tween the two Communist gi ants might even be canceled or, If held, almost certainly would fail. In Moscow Saturday dele gates to an international wom en's congress ended a week long meeting by howling down the Chinese delegation for attacking, then voting against a congress resolution in fs.vor of general disarma ment and peaceful coexist ence. Congress Chairwoman Ma ria Rossi of Italy even threat ened to rule Chinese delegate Madame Yung Yun-Yu out of order for lack of respect to ward the congress at a final tempestuous session.

We have granted this free dom from our hearts," Ryan said. And the throng thundered Its approval. As Kennedy entered Eyre square, where the ceremony was held, he faced a forest of outstretched hands.

As his helicopter approach ed Galway from Dublin, Ken nedy could see below him the Irish national flag formed by 320 children from the convent of Mercy School dressed In green, white and gold.
