The trip was initiated , by
members of the Medford Cap-.

which was appointed by May
or James Dunlevy to study
the city's needs in the years
ahead. - - ..,...-.
Eugene City Manager Hugh
McKlnley conducted the group
on a lour through the four-year-old
Lane county court
house, the recently completed
state office building' ana
through the new $2.4 million
city hall, which is less than
a year from completion.- r
Design for the new city
hall was selected from among
25 entries submitted in a $12,-
000 prize design competition.
A jury of five Judges, three
from out of state, awarded
first prize to the design of a
Eugene architectural firm
Bond Itsua Approved
McKlnley explained that
the city then placed a bond
issue before the people of Eu
gene to finance the structure.
The voters overwhelmingly
supported the request in an
election held in 1961. Con
struction began about a year
ago.' '
, Impetus for the civic cen
ter development was supplied
during the 1930s by the Lane
county commissioners, the ar
chitecture school at the Uni
versity of Oregon, and by a
group of Eugene architects
who called themselves the
"Architects Collaborative."
1 Lane County Commission
er Ken Nellson told the Med
ford delegation that through
the combined efforts of t h e
three groups the new county
courthouse was built, the park
was cleaned up and redesign
ed, and fountains' and pools
were installed In that area of
downtown Eugene which, he
said was "deader than a dodo"
before the activity started, c
Neilson said he was sold on
the civic center concept of
grouping government build
ings together in one location.
"If I had It to do all over
again," he said, "I'd be even
more in favor of It than ever,"
Appreciate Center
He said the people of Eu
gene Appreciate the center
now, but they didn't when we
first started work on It." He
added that the county three
weeks ago purchased the old
Osborn hotel for $276,000 as
part of Its expansion plans.
Eugene Mayor Ed Cone
told the Medford group at a
luncheon that he was "proud
of what we have done and

Khrushchev Meets
With Satellite Leaders
Moscow - (UPI) - Premier
Nikita S, Khrushchev today
met with his satellite leaders
from Eastern Europe and Asia
for a conference expected to
ratify the Moscow-Peking
spilt and tighten the unity of
the Soviet bloc.
Kennedy
amend their election laws by
making a "preferential presi
dential primary" mandatory.
This, they say, would enable
a second slate of "unpledged"
presidential electors-an anti
Kennedy slate-to appear on
the state primary ballots.
If the unpledged electors
garnered more votes in the
primary than the Kennedy
slate; they would be the Dem
ocratic party's state standard
bearers. Kennedy's name
would not appear on the state
Democratic ballot in November.
