New House Rules Committee
Lineup Viewed With
Washington-lUPH-House lib
erals, with a lot of sad experi
ence to reflect on, viewed the
prospective new lineup of the
House Rules Committee today
with a certain amount of mis
giving. Conservatives weren't out
celebrating, either.
But neither side had any
plans to contest it.
Under plans all but formal
ly announced by House lead
ers, Rep. John Young (D-Tex.)
will replace Rep. Homer
Thornberry (D-Tex.) as a
member of the pro-administration
bloc that frequently
has been able to prevail on
the crucial committee by no
better than 8 to 7.
President Kennedy Tuesday
nominated Thornberry as a
federal judge for the West
ern District of Texas. Tn so
doing, he rewarded Thorn
berry for past support, but at
the same time created a fur

the closely divided rules
group.

House for a vote. Its yes or
no can mean life or death for
controversial bills.
Speaker John W. McCor
mack (D-Mass.) let it be
known he had picked another
Texan to fill Thornberry's
crucial rules seat, and word
was passed among members
that Young was the man.
In selecting Young, Mc
Cormack obviously acted in
the belief Young could be
counted on in a pinch to sup
port the leadership even in the
face of adverse local interest.
Thornberry, though he
sometimes voted against the
administration both in the
committee and on the House
floor, was a close friend of
the late Speaker Sam Ray
burn and became a trusted
leadership lieutenant in the
crucial rules spot.

Young's mixed record of ad

non-aggression pact.
Can't Agre Alon
The United States and
Britain, which will take part

Labor Officials,
Growers To Meet
To Discuss Picking
Federal and state labor of
ficials will meet with repre
sentatives of the Fruit Grow
ers League here Tuesday, July
3, to discuss possible solu
tions to the picking problem
expected this season.
Pear growers feel they need
Mexican Nationals here, par
ticularly this year, to assure
a (complete harvest of local
pears since-the. crop is al
ready predicted as a light- one.
Many of the same labor and
employment service officials
were in Medford approximate
ly a year ago to discuss the
possibility of obtaining Mcx
ican
Nationals for that sea-
son's harvest. The Bracero
bill authorizing use of Mex
ican Nationals on U.S. farms
and orchards will . expire
after the coming harvest sea
son.
No details were available
as to what would be discussed
here Tuesday, but local pear
shippers and growers said
they were pleased that some
of the federal officials feci
the problem is important
enough to come all the way
from Washington, D.C.
Last year the labor officials
agreed growers had done all
they could toward hiring do
mestic labor after a number
of shippers and growers testi
fied that less than half of the
domestic pickers stay in the
orchards longer than two or
three days.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D.-Ore.),
also meeting with the pear
industry representatives then,
declared Medford orchards
should not become the dump
ing ground for social welfare
cases from Portland.
Medford district pear grow
ers assured labor department
officials last year that Mex
ican Nationals are used only
when qualified domestic
workers arc unavailable. It
costs $85 a man to bring them
to this area, it was pointed
out. Approximately 15 per
cent of the daily crew arc
Mexicans, it was noted.
Camping Fee Will
Be Charged at Lakes
The Jackson county court
and parks and recreation de
partment this morning said a
50-cent-pcr-night camping fee
would be charged at Howard
Prairie's designated areas out
side the present main develop
ed area and at Emigrant lake.
No fee will be charged for
use of picnic facilities at Em
igrant lake, they emphasized.
Because of fire danger no
fires will be permitted during
the present forest fire season
in other than the designated
areas at the two lakes, it was
explained.

Counseling Service
In Oregon Program
Started by
Ash -nd - About 100 1962
high school graduates in Jack
son county have been invited
to participate in a new phase
of the Oregon Program, Dr.
Bill Sampson, director of the
program for Southern Oregon
college, has announced.
The new phase is an Indi
vidual counseling service for
selected high school graduates
whq did not continue, their
formal education after gradu
ation last year.
It is one phase of the Ore
gon ' Program designed pri

T,, B(,1U,H nr. Pi-oJ
gram is designed to improve
the quality of teaching, thus
improving the quality of edu
cation of children.
Dr. Sumpson said the hun
dred Individuals contacted
all were graduated from high
school a year ago and did not
continue their education, al
though counselors feel they
have talents and abilities
which would be best employ
ed if they completed a col
lege program.
Provides an Opportunity
The counseling program, he
pointed out, provides an op
portunity for a selected per
son to talk with a trained
counselor about future plans.
"We are not trying to 'sell'
anybody anything," Dr. Samp
son said, "except perhaps the
idea that able people have a
personal responsibility to help
their country by Improving
themselves."
Oregon Program counselors
go to the home of the Indi
vidual who wants to partici
pate in the counseling pro
gram. Informational kits arc
presented, containing . Infor
mation about college costs,
admission requirements and
instructional programs.
Specific attention is given
to collecting data about the
person's experiences during
the past year, Dr. Sampson
said, pointing out that educa
tors have little information
about able high school gradu
ates who do not seek addi
tional education.
Aim of Program
"Our big aim," Dr. Samp
son said, "is to let these peo
ple know about new ways to
finance a college education,
such as the National Defense
Student loans, the United Stu
dent Loan Fund, and in Jack

District Board to
Consider Proposal
Talent - The South Talent
Sanitary district board will
meet here Thursday night; to
consider whether to partici
pate In plane tor expansion
ot the Talent city sewage dis
posal plant. '
Board members met with
the Talent city council last
night to discuss the project
The two governing bodies
are faced with these circum
stances:
The Talent council plans to
expand Its sewage disposal
plant but must get the project
unaer way by Oct. 1 in order
to qualify for a $31,490 fed
eral grant which would fi
nance at least a third of the
cost.
Bonds Are Necessary
The sanitary district board
is concerned with getting a
sewer system installed, for
which It will be necessary to
submit a bond issue to the
voters in the district, located
between Talent and Ashland.
The sanitary district could
make an arrangement to use
the city's disposal plant, or
it could construct a disposal
system of its own.
If the sanitary district board
decides it wants to use the
city's plant, then it will have
to make plans to participate
financially in the cost of ex
panding the plant, city of
ficials have indicated.
In order to meet the city's
Oct. 1 deadline, according to
Richard Cottle, Talent city at
torney, the sanitary district
would have to hold a bond
election by about Sept. 1.
The sanitary district board
meeting Thursday will start
at 8 p.m. in the Talent city
hall. -

ongressional ;
eaders Called ;
or Conference
Midnight Deadline
For Massive Walkout
Washington-IUPD-Rail unions
today rejected President Ken
nedy's proposal for arbitration
the railroad crisis and he
worked feverishly against the
clock to prevent a midnight
strike.
Kennedy called congres
sional leaders to the White
House for emergency confer-
ences with other government
leaders, a possible indication
that he would ask Congress to
work out a settlement.
If he should adopt this
course, It was believed that
Kennedy also would ask the
railroads to hold off on put
ting into effect new work
rules which would trigger the
idnight walkout.
Goldberg Rejected
The five unions turned
down Kennedy's proposal to
let Supreme Court Justice Ar
thur Goldberg arbitrate the
dispute and work out a final
settlement.
The railroads, which accent
ed the proposal, said the nevf
ruies would go into effect at
midnight. The unions prompt
ly disclosed mat members had
been told to carry out strike
instructions on any carrier
that posted notices of the new
work rules.
Concern mounted as the
clock moved toward the mid
night deadline. The govern
ment began preparations to at
least ease the paralyzing ef
fects of a nationwide rail tie-
up.
Plan Extra Routes
The Interstate Commerce
Commission said It would au-
thorize truckers, bus compa
nies and domestic water car
riers to take on extra routes
and .cargoes if the trains
stopped running. ,
white House press secretary
Pierre Salinger said the union
and railroad management
spokesmen were standing by
for a possible second session,
with Kennedy. But a 9 a.m.
(pdt) deadline for notifying
them of another conference
passed without word from the
President. , -,.
Leaders Tighf Lipped
Salinger said he would not
comment on what the Presi
dent plans to do but added:
The President is obviously
doing something."
House Democratic leaders
who spent much of the morn
ing at the White House were
tight lipped about their talks
with Kennedy.
"We were brought up to
date on the situation," was all
p e a k e r John W. McCor
mack would say. Both Mc
Cormack and House Democra
tic Leader Carl Albert (Okla.)
turned aside all questions as
to whether there would be a
presidential message to Con
gress. It was noted, however, that
among the key figures called
to the White House was Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell (D
N.Y.), chairman of the House
Labor Committee, which
would handle any legislation.
200.000 Men Involved
The five unions involved
represent about 200,000 work
ers who run 95 per cent of
the nation's trains. The un
ions are the Brotherhood of '
Locomotive Engineers, Broth
erhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen,
Order of Railway Conductors
and Brakemen, and the
Switchmen's Union of North
America.
