PET TALK
By M.I.L
SELF-INDICTMENT
' In an era that glorifies 11
nancial status, adores second
rate entertainment and wor
ships the accumulation of ma.
terial things, man's inhU'
manity to all living creatures
manifests itself in numerous
and diverse ways.
It is generally conceded that
the popular entertainment of
the day promotes the base
instincts of the mob. This
contemporary mass medium of
entertainment invades the pri
vacy of our homes, bringing
murder, beating, torture and
other violence perperated on
man and animals. And if this
isn't enough to shock your
sensibilities, it is Immediately
followed by a pharmaceutical
huckster who offers a cure for
all of man's Ills.
In the same laboratories,
man's inhuman pursuits have
reached a new low. The pro
longed suffering of vast num
bers of animals is the pharma
ceutical profession's own in
dictment of itself.
The Mcdford area is flood
ed by unwanted and surplus
pets, especially kittens. This
only means death by gas
chamber, starvation or torture
to countless innocent victims
who never should have been
born. There are people who
think that by some magic, ani
mal societies can find homes
for the surplus litters, Actual
ly, they are only accepted to
prevent being abandoned,
even though the kittens must
be destroyed.
The only solution for this
cruelty; - Have female pets
spayed.
Warning Issued on
C.O.D. Racket
A warning concerning vaca
tionists has been Issued
through the Medford Cham
ber of Commerce, repeating
a reminder from the Port
land Better Business Bureau.
It applies to a C.O.D. racket
which keeps appearing. The
racket works this way. The
person calls at the door of a
home from which he has
learned the family is vacation
ing. He has an apparent
C.O.D, package. When no one
answers the door, he goes to
a neighboring house, and asks
the neighbor if he will pay for
the delivery of the package so
It can be made available to
the vacationer as soon as he
returns.
It the neighbor responds to
the request, he learns that
what has been represented as
an important package con
tains nothing more valuable
than old newspapers, obsolete
magazines or some other dis
carded Items, according to the
Better Business Bureau. "

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORO. OREGON
THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA
Special Session Moves Slowly,
Cooly on Defeated Tax Program
United Press International
The special session of the
1963 legislature, called by
Gov. Edmund G. Brown in
hopes of reviving his once-defeated
tax program, was mov
ing slowly - and even some
what cooly.
But a fight appeared in the
works between the Senate
and the Assembly over
Brown's personal income tax
withholding plan - the most
controversial of his tax speed
up plans.
Following an unusual
closed-door meeting, Senate
leaders said Brown's with
holding proposal did not car
ry enough weight to pass in
the upper chamber.
The statement ired Assem
bly Speaker Jesse M. Unruh.
Unruh commented, "I'm in
favor of it (withholding) as
much now as I ever was and
maybe even more." Asked
what the Assembly would do,
Unruh replied, "I can't say. . .
but I'll say this: we're not
going to be a rubber stamp
for the Senate." He said that
was the feeling also of "79
other guys" in the 80-member
Assembly.
Senate Crushes Program
In the final hours of the
general session, it was the
Senate that crushed Brown's
tax program.
The special session, which
follows by two weeks the
six-month general session,
went into its second week
with two money figures pro
posed to fatten the 1963-64
budget of more than S3 bil
lion, an all time record for
any stale. They were proposed
programs to spend $114 mil
lion, asked by Brown, and a
plan' to spend only $80 mil
lion, proposed by Sen. Steph
en P. Teale, D-Westpoint.
Brown's revived program
includes requests to eliminate
installment payments of in
come taxes, accelerate Dan
and corporation and insur
ance premium taxes and elim
inate any tax for 840,000
small taxpayers who would
pay less than $5 in taxes each
year. Willi inesc, crown says,

Horse Flu Nears
Epidemic Stage
Portland - AIM - A grow
ing epidemic of equine influ
enza in Oregon may be near
the explosive stage, the Ore
gon Veterinary Medical asso
ciation said Friday.
The association said the di
sease, apparently a new strain
or a new type of illness, will
"very likely continue to
spread and the proportion of
affected animals probably
will increase before it dimin
ishes." Veterinarians said, how
ever, that the disease was
rarely fatal.
The disease has forced post
ponement of horse racing
schedules in various parts of
the country during the past
three months.
When the season ended at
Portland Meadows a week
ago, it was estimated that
about half of the horses had
the ailment.

Butte Falls School District
No. 91 for the past year, has

will roll in in sufficient
amounts to finance the state
for 1963-64.
The number one item to be
refinanced, all sides have
agreed, was education. Brown
proposed $40 million in extra
state aid to local schools this
year and $60 million next
year. The Senate apparently
is pushing for a one-year, $40
million program.
Elsewhere there were these
developments:
Bodies: The bodies of three
children found shot to death
June 6 near Williams, Ariz.,
were identified as runaways
from a home in Stockton.
They were Teddy Walker,
12, his sister Jacqueline, 11,
and their half sister Carol
McCain, 14. Their foster
mother, Mrs. Bernice Fobbs,
Stockton, identified drawings
and photographs of the chil
dren's bodies. Each had been
shot with a .32 caliber weap
on. After they were dumped in
a forest near Williams, the
killer shot each in the heart
with a 45-caliber gun. The
children reportedly ran away
from home because they
feared their family was break
ing up, police said. Police said
they had no clues to the
killer.
Manhunt: A manhunt was
under way in Reno, Nev., for
the leaders of a counterfeit
ring smashed by city and fed
eral agents in Oakland. The
ring had produced about $1.4
million on bogus $20 and $50
bills. The search spread to
Reno when some of the bills
began showing up in gam
bling casinos.
Agents said they were look
ing for Danny Ray Willis, 52,
and Billy Campbell Kitchens,
36, ex-convicts from San
Francisco credited with orig
inating the ring. Five persons
have been arraigned on coun
terfeiting charges.
Civil rights: Detectives i n
Torrance, Calif., were look

trying to run down two "sit

times as they crossed a street
and later an alley.
In Los Angeles, the Nation
al Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People
(NAACP) planned "various
peaceful activities" toward in
tegrating exclusive Beverly
Hills. Actors Marlon Brando
and James Whitmore, mem
bers of the American Civil
Liberties Union committee,
presented a three-phase reso
lution on jobs for Negroes in
movies and television-as well
as accurate artistic portrayals.
Water: The Metropolitan
Water district in Los Angeles
passed a lesolution asking
California to avoid making
any commitments at a three-1
state meeting on the Colorado
river water question. The dis
trict urged that Gov. Edmund
G. Brown and state officials
avoid any agreements until
the U. S. Supreme Court is
sues Its final decree on the
dispute over river water be

zona. A preliminary decision
limited California's claims on
the river in favor of Arizona.

tional forest sold 241.4 million
board feet of timber in fiscal
year 1963, according to Forest
Supervisor Joseph F. Thorn
ton. This is the largest total on
record for the Klamath forest.
It is 67 million feet, or 33 per
