United Nations
Members Would
Attend Session
Summit Meeting
Possibility Noted
: United Nations, N. Y.-OIPIU
The Soviet Union has pro
posed that the heads of state
and sovernment of all mem
ber nations attend the 20th
anniversary session of the
U. N. General Assembly in
1965.
The suggestion raised the
possibility of a summit meet
ing between the major East
and West powers in conjunc
tion with the U. N. session.
. The Soviet proposal was dis
closed by U. N. sources and
the official Soviet news agen
cy Tass.
Contained In Letter
, The Soviet recommendation
was contained in a letter from
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko handed to U. N.
Secretary General Thant Mon
day by Nikolai Fcdorenko,
"chief of the Soviet mission,
,the U. N. sources said,
y Gromyko's letter was a re
ply to a message from Thant
asking for the views of all
member governments on an
"inter n a tit o n a 1 cooperation
year" for 1965 voted last year
by the General Assembly v
Advocates Free Zones. :
According to Tass,. Gromy
ko also advocated nuclear--free
zones separating nations
of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization from Warsaw
pact countries, normalization
of trade between all countries
and an end to colonialism by
1965.
The General Assembly has
voted to set up a 12-member
committee to make plans for
the 20th anniversary of the
'founding of the United Na
tions in 1945. Thant polled the
111 UN mebers on their views
on the resolution.
Relaxation Hoped ,
The Soviet suggestion came
at a time when East-West cor
diality at the nuclear test ban
talks in Moscow led to hope
for a relaxation of tensions
and the possibility of a top
level meeting among leaders
of the major world powers.
Diplomatic sources in Lon
don said Monday that Presi
dent Kennedy does not favor
a summit meeting with Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev
and other Western leaders at
this time. But they said if the
Moscow talks opened up the
prospects for further cold war
settlements he was not be
lieved likely to refuse.

Hatfield Suggests
GOP Presidenital
Hopefuls Debate
Clash Proposed
Before Primary
Salcm-IUril-Gov. Mark Hat
field suggested Monday that
the two leading Republican
presidential hopefuls, New
York Governor Nelson Rocke
feller and Arizona Sen. Barry
Goldwater, meet in face-to-
face debate before the Ore
gon primary next year.
He called for the debate
"as in the high level objective
tone of the Dewey-Stassen
debate."
Thomas E. Dewey and Har
old Stassen appeared fre
quently in Oregon during the
1948 Republican primary
which was climaxed by a
face-to-face debate.
Dewey's subsequent Oregon
primary victory gave him a
big boost toward getting the
GOP presidential nomination
that year.
Opportunity Exists
"Our party is in no posi
tion to incite political mayhem
by a ruthless intramural at
tacks which can only lead to
fratricide. We advance neith
er the cause of the party nor
individual candidacies by such
tactics, Hattield warned.
Referring to recent Rocke
feller and Goldwater speech
es, Hatfield declared it is ob
vious" from their statements
magnificent opportunity
exists for constructive discus
sion of bed rock issues."
"We can disagree without
being disagreeable. Clear pos
itive views on an impersonal
basis should be welcomed by
all within the party," Hat
field declared.
He warned the Republicans
will face a common opponent
in the coming election and
declared the party would
need the support of all its
members, independents and
"discerning Democrats," to
win.

population of Medford will
reach about 70.000 by 1985,
based on estimates of a 4 per

Residents of Area
South of Ashland
Air Incorporation
Ashland - The" possibility of
incorporating a separate city
in the Bellview area south and
cast! of Ashland was discussed
at a meeting of Ihc Anti-An
nexation committee at the
Bellview Grange hall last
night.
A definite decision on
whether or not to proceed
witli Incorporation plans was
deferred until a further meet
ing, however, since those
present thought such a step
should not be made on the
spur of the moment.
A final decision is expected
to be made at a meeting tenta
tively set for Monday, July 29.
The committee, which was
formed to fight several pro
posed annexations to the city
of Ashland, mot to discuss
whether to continue fighting
annexations or to take steps to
incorporate as a separate city.
Opposed to Annexation
Reports from various sub
committees of the anti-annexation
group indicated that a
majority of those residents
contacted in a survey were
opposed to annexation to the
city of Ashland.
The group then discussed
incorporation as a means of
maintaining the status quo - a
rural type of city without city
services such as sewer sys
tems. Bill Dcathcragc, Medford
attorney who has represented
the anti-annexation group, ex
plained the advantages and
obligations Involved in incor
poration. He explained that
the act of incorporating can
be relatively simple.
If petitions bearing signa
tures of at least 20 per cent
of the registered voters living
in the area were presented to
the county court, an election
would be called. A majority
vote at the election would be
required to incorporate the
area. Any area of 150 resi
dents or more may Incorpor

Deatherage said that incor

upon what the residents in
volved want in the way of
city services.
If the status quo of the area
were maintained and there
were no plans to build a large
city in the area, he estimated
that the city could operate on
$500 a month, covering the
cost of hiring a police officer
and a judge.
The cost of an incorporation
election was estimated at
$1,250. The attorney added
that it was conceivable that
income to the city from stale
collected taxes could offset
the monthly operating cost,

G-P Operations
Unions Refuse
Wage Increase
By United Press International
Strikes in the Northwest
lumber industry continued to
oread today, after any hopes
for a settlement were scuttled
by the outcome of negotia
tions in Portland Monday.
The Lumber and Sawmill
Workers Union and Interna
tional Woodworkers of Amer

against Georgia-Pacific Corp
to its Springfield operations,
