The Medford Human Rights
Council met Thursday evening
at the home o Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Padgham.
Twenty -eiaht persons, In
cluding several specially in
vited guests, were present. It
was the second recent meeting
of the Council which has been
reorganized after two years of
inactivity.
The Council's chairman, the
Rev. Robert W. Tull of the
Congregational Church, pre
sided.
Robertson E. Collins, Jack'
'. sonville, reported on conver
sations with Mark Smith, ad'
ministrator of the civil rights
division of the Oregon bureau
of labor, giving information
about other groups like the
Medford Human Rights coun
cil that are presently active
In the state.
Exorcises Opinion
Collins expressed the opin
ion that protest demonstra
lions and the deliberate test
ing of community attitudes
toward minority groups would
be out of place in Medford at
this time.
Omar Bacon, Jackson coun
ty librarian, brought to the
meeting much of the pub
lished material on civil rights
and inter-group relations that
is available at the Medford ll-
brary.
James A. Redden, Medford
attorney and state represents.
tive, was asked to inform the
group of the actions of the re
cent legislature in the area of
human rights. The laws that
were passed in this section,
he stated, served to strengthen
Oregon's position as one of the
nation s most progressive
states in guaranteeing just and
equal treatment to all persons,
regardless of race, religion,
national background or age.
Optimistic Appraisal
Don McNeil, manager of the
Medford Chamber of Com.
merce, gave an optimistic ap
praisal of the attitudes and
practices of businessmen, mo
tel operators, restaurateurs,
merchants and employers in
the city, toward the members
of minority groups.
Acknowledging that there
have been some Incidents of
discrimination against Negro
visitors to the community, he
expressed his conviction that
the members of the chamber
of commerce are well in
formed on the fair housing,
fair employment and public
accomodations laws of Ore
gon, and are seeking to abide
by them.
McNeil said Medford would
have much less difficulty with
the inevitable entrance o f
minority group families into
the valley in the next few
years if groups such as the
Medford Human Rights Coun
cil could help the community
to do some intelligent plan
ning for the changes ahead.
DcArmond Leigh, Jackson
county sheriff, expressed his
gratitude for being Invited to
the Council's meeting and his
appreciation of a group of cit
izens who could offer support
and counsel to the public of
ficials responsible for law en
forcement and community
welfare.
He reported that the sher
iff's department had not been
informed of any recent inci
dents of discriminatory prac
tice in the valley. But he
urged the Council to invite
representatives of other law
enforcement agencies in the
area to future meetings.
Members Were Present
Six members of the Ash-
'land Human Rights Council
were present. They shared
some of the experiences and
plans of their organization,
which has been active for
over five years. .
The latter portion of the
meeting was devoted to dis
cussion of the continuing pur
pose and program of the Coun-
cil. Dunbar Carpenter suggest
ed that the civil rights division
of the Oregon bureau of la
bor be asked whether it has
received reports of discrim
inatory practice in the Med
ford area of which citizens of
the community might not be
aware. Collins and Redden
were asked to make such an
inquiry.
Ben J. Trowbridge Jr. and
others reported seeing Ne
groes in downtown Medford
more frequently now that the
tourist season is open. Trow
bridge said he did not know
of any incidents of discrim
ination or refusal of service.
A Growing Number
Judge Edward C. Kelly sug
gested that there will be a
growing number of Negro
tourists coming through Med
ford in the years ahead. If
each one of them, he stated,
were treated with the respect
and courtesy normally offered
to any money-spending tour
ist, all possibility of a "test
ing" of the racial attitudes and
practices of the community by
outside groups would soon be
eliminated.
Members of the group ex
pressed concern over the in
creasing prevalence of rumors
that Negro families are being
or might be placed in Medford
by national organizations in
order to test and force com
munity acceptance.
No one in the group had
knowledge of any such plan,
and a procedure was estab
lished whereby all such ru
mors could be traced to their
source and stopped before
they could have a disturbing
influence in the community.
As the meeting ended, it
was agreed that it would not
be in the best interest of the
community, or of any minority
persons or groups, for the
Council to seek intentionally
to bring Negro families into
the Medford area. But it was
decided that, if any families of
minority background did es
tablish residence here, the
Council would uphold their
right to do so and would make
every effort to assist them in
their adjustment to the com
munity. The next meeting of the
Council will be in September
upon the call of the chairman.

Portland The bureau of
land management has an
nounced that a recreation
lease for a 420-acre tract of
O and C lands on a ridge
overlooking the Rogue river
area has been issued to Jose
phine county.
The public recreation fa
cility is identified as the
Cathedral Hills Recreation
Area. The area will be used
by the public for picnicking
and other outdoor recreation
activities.
During 1964 and 1965, the
county will develop the area
by building new marked
trails suitable for hiking,
horseback riding and scooter
riding. This tract is located
two miles south of Grants
Pass and is accessible by
paved roads just west of the
Williams Highway, and north
and east of the Grants Pass
Golf and Country club.
Stanley D. Lester, land of
fice manager, said that Jose
phine county filed a detailed
plan for recreation develop
ment with BLM for approval.
They also agreed to maintain
the land for public recreation
use without discrimination.
BLM has made sites avail
able to state and local gov
ernments for lease at an an
nual rental of 25 cents an
acre. Lester said the leasing
of public lands at the low
rental rate encourages de
velopment of public recrea
tion facilities.
BLM will continue to man
age the timber, surface and
mineral resources of the
lands consistent with its rec
reation uses.
