REPAIRING CANAL FAILURE On a Tugged hillside not
far from Butte Falls, employees of the -Eagle Point Irriga- ;

16 hours a day in an effort to get the district's main canal

Youths Arrested
After Speed Chase
Toward Gold Hill
Two Medford teen-age boys
drove at speeds upward to 120
miles per hour early this
morning while fleeing from
a Medford city police officer
who tried to stop them for
driving the wrong way on a
one-way street.
The chase, which lasted
nearly a half hour, finally
ended on the outskirts of
Gold Hill when a tire on the
boys' car blew out.
Sgt. Tom Furnas spotted
the youngsters about 4:30
o'clock this morning on Court
st. driving the wrong way.
He turned on his siren and
flashing light, but instead
of stopping the pair hit the
accelerator and sped away.
The officer chased them
along Court st., through the
Big Y junction and up Crater
Lake highway, at speeds well
in excess of 100 miles per
hour, Furnas radioed to other
law enforcement agencies in
the area for assistance.
The youths turned off Crat
er Lake Highway down High
way 232 toward Gold Hill. A
state police officer and a
Central Point car, alerted by
Furnas' radio call, set up a
road block at Gold Hill.
When their tire blew, forc
ing the youths to stop, Furnas
arrested a 16-year-old boy for
reckless driving and cited his
17-year-old companion for
curfew violation.

Break Indicated
In Lumber Dispute
By United Press International
Negotiators for Simpson
Timber Co. met with two
labor unions in Portland to
day amid unconfirmed reports
that an agreement was near.
James Farmer, chief nego
tiator for the big independent
firm, reported some progress
at the last session Tuesday.
Today, the Portland Ore
gonian newspaper quoted an
unnamed "reliable source" as
saying the two sides would
agree on a contract calling for
a wage increase of 32 to 35
cents an hour over three years.
That would be about eight
cents more than the com
pany's last offer.
The International Wood

demanded 40 cents and the
Lumber and Sawmill Wcirkcrs
60 cents.
Medford Council
Denies Musical
Device Request
' By a 4 to 3 vote, the Med
ford city council last night
declined to amend the city
code to permit operation of
sound devices on motor ve
hicles in the city.
The issue was raised in con
nection with the request of
Herb Herzog, 546 Fairmount
dr., who sought permission to
operate a musical device on
an ice cream vending truck.
In submitting the matter to
the council. City Manager
Robert Duff pointed out that
the request was "not neces
sarily recommended by the
administration." He said that
sound devices "should be sub
ject to regulations established
by the city council."
In declaring his intention
to vote against the matter,
Councilman Richard Travis
said he thought it would be a
"mistake to open the door,
even this crack."
The council had earlier
granted permission to an ap
plicant to advertise his vend
ing vehicle by means of a
hand bell.
In other action, the council
by identical 6 to 1 votes, re
fused to call for a public
hearing to consider cither va
cating the easterly 156 feet of

to vacate the entire alley.
The matter had been hotly

Residents in the area of the
alley had appeared at the

Cowards Seek
War, Khrushchev
Tells Red China
Attempt To Oust
Leader Said Futile
Moscow-WPII - Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev, in a sting
ing rebuke to Red China, said
today that only cowards seek
war and warned the Chinese
Communists their attempts to
force him from power in the
Soviet Union would be "fu
tile."
Khrushchev challenged any
one seeking to overthrow his
government to visit any fac
tory or plant in Russia and
see how firmly the soviet
people are behind him.
Toughest Language
"Futile are the attempts of
those who are trying to
change the leadership in our
country," Khrushchev said In
a Kremlin speech that was
considered perhaps the tough
est language ever fired by
the Soviets against the Red
Chinese in the widening
breach between the two Com
munist giants.
Khrushchev lashed out at
the Peking regime for insist-
ting on "the necessity of un
leashing a world war to dis
pose of the destinies of peo
pies." He reaffirmed the So
viet stand of peaceful coex
istence with the West and
said despite what the "cow
ards" thought, communism
will conquer capitalism with-
out a war.
Probable Death Knell
The Soviet leader's re-
marks, delivered as Russian
and Chinese Communist lead'
ers met once more to try to
settle their ideological dif
ferences, was seen as proba
bly a death knell for the al
ready chilled efforts to seal
the rift between Moscow and
Peking.
Some diplomats considered
Khrushchev's remarks almost
an ultimatum to the Chinese
Communist delegation cur
rently in Moscow either to
toe the party line or clear
out for home.
Khrushchev said "imperial
ism" which the Peking Com
munists want defeated by war
if necessary "trembled" be
fore the strength of socialism.
"So why be in a hurry to
go to war at all?" the Soviet
leader asked in an obvious
jibe at Peking.
Grants Pass Jail
Escapee Is Caught

mond Barr, 20, one of two
men who tunneled their way
out of the Josephine county
jail early July 7, was arrested
by the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation In Santa Ana,
Calif., yesterday.
Barr, who was from Santa
Ana, was being held here on
a parole violation charge
when he and Wesley Earl San
ford, 30, escaped by digging
a tunnel under the jail wall.
Sanford was apprehended
a week ago in Hanford, Calif.,
the city in which he was
wanted on a burglary charge.
Barr will be returned to
Grants Pass to face additional
charges here.
Final Pleas Heard

Eye Protection
Urged Saturday
During Eclipse
By United Press International
For a fleeting moment Sat
urday afternoon day will turn
into night in a narrow path
across the Atlantic and part
of North America when the
moon moves between the sun
and the earth.
For most Americans the
eclipse will be partial; the
moon will obstruct only part
of the sun. For a few, mostly
in Maine, it will be total. The
most zealous of these will be
astronomers in jet planes and
20 teams of scientific observ
ers perched atop uaauiac
Mountain in Maine.
The airborne observers,
traveling at nearly twice the
speed of sound, will pursue
the shadow as it speeds across
the face of the globe at 1,750
miles an hour. They will not
catch up to it, but they will
be able to see the total eclipse
for longer than the 59 sec
onds it will be visible to
teams on the ground.
Precision Study
More important, they will
be above much of the earth's
atmosphere, and thus able to
take clear photographs of the
rare event and study it with
precision.
For non-professional astron
omers across the land, tne
warning is clear: Do not look
at the eclipse. Don I even
peck. Experts advise that one
second's exposure to the full
rays of the sun can cause per
manent damage to the eyes.
Because the sun is partially
obscured, no pain is felt, but
invisible ultraviolet and Infra
red rays do their damage.
Surgeon General Dr. Luther
Terry says this: "Watch it on
television."
For those who shun the
video approach, this is recom
mended: Punch a pinhole in a
piece of cardboard; then, with
your back to the sun, hold the
cardboard above one shoulder
and let the sun's Image reflect
on another piece of cardboard
held In front of you.

Regulations Along
Rogue River Trail
Discussed
Grants Pass-Discussion of
wneuicr or not the Rogue
River trail should be. closed
to motorized vehicles, horses
and pack animals dominated
a public hearing here yester
day afternoon on proposed
trail regulations.
The two-hour meeting, at
tended by 60 persons, was
conducted by the bureau of
and management to discuss
five proposed rules governing
use of the Rogue River Rec
reation area.
The area Includes 10,000
acres of land In a 26-mlle long
strip along the Rogue river
from the Almcda bridge to
Marial, In Josephine and Cur
ry counties. The trail, por
tions of which have recently
been Improved, runs through
the recreation area.
All those present concurred
in four of the proposed rules,
regulating camping, camp
fires, disposal of Tcfuse and
defacing of improvements.
Provoke Disagreement
It was the fifth rule which
provoked disagreement. The
proposed regulation would
provide that unless specifi
cally authorized, motorized
vehicles, pack animals and
horses be strictly prohibited
from entering the area, ex
cept in case of emergencies
such as transport of injured
persons and f Irefighting.
Twenty of the 60 persons
present spoke. Six were In
favor of the regulation as pro
posed, 11 favored barring mo
torized vehicles but allowing
horses and pack animals, two
favored opening the trail to
motorized vehicles, and one
was non-committal.
After the hearing, Russell
E. Getty, BLM state director,
said he intended to consult
with other agencies to see
how the proposed regulations
would fit Into "the total rec
reational complex of the
state." He emphasized that
the bureau is not trying to
set a pattern but rather is
trying to find out If there
Is a pattern it can fit into.
Beit Contribution
The bureau is interested In
making the best possible con
tribution to recreation first
in the interest of Oregon as
a whole and next In the local
interest, Getty said.
Those voicing opinions at
the hearing included repre
sentatives of several organiza'

in GP
i said the county board of com-
missloners had gone on record
in favor of the regulations as
proposed.
Paul H. Welland, represent
ing the Jackson county chap
ter of the Izaak Walton
league, urged going one step
farther by removing the
words "unless otherwise au
thorized" from the fifth reg
ulation. Those opposed to use
of the trail by vehicles or
animals felt lhat such use
would be unfair to hikers and
increase maintenance prob
lems. In Favor of Horses
Those in favor of use by
horses and pack animals, but
not vehicles included a del
egation from Curry county,
among them County Commis
sioner William L. Campbell,
who spoke for his county
court, and Bob Pruitt, a Rogue
River boat guide.
They argued that the trail
has been used by horses for
some 100 years, that barring
of animals would hinder use
of the trail by senior citizens,
and that the availability of
pack trips through the trail
would bring a "new kind of
tourist" Into the area.
Speaking in favor of use
by motorized vehicles was
Dan Adams of Salem, rcpre
entlng Western Motorized
Recreation, Inc. He said he
thought all individuals should
have the right to use the trail
'without one group trying to
dictate to another." A scoot
er is a modern person's horse,
he added. He suggested that
restrictions be made on the
use of vehicles, however, and
he presented a proposed list
of them.
State, Federal Welfare
Programs Said Shocking
Portland-WPli - An Oregon
Public Welfare commissioner
who announced his resigna
tion Thursday has charged
that state and federal welfare
programs are "a shocking
scandal" and a "fantastic
giveaway."
Foy Webster, Hood River
orchardist, said he thought
"the multi-million dollar wel
fare program should be rolled
back to 1936 levels before it
ruins the economy and makes
bums out of our young people."
