by Pacific Power and Light company. The group spent
about four hours louring the Eugene civic center and meet
ing with various city and county officials before returning
to Medford about 3 p.m. (Knackstedt photo).
Reports from the Hood Riv
er area, where an excellent
crop was predicted early in
the season, reveal consider
able drop of pears and a 75
per cent crop is now expect
ed, Cordy added.
Definite plans for consnli
dating efforts here to process
the fruit in the most econom
ical manner while still pro
viding work for regular em
ployees of the fruit industry
are progressing, Shelby Tut
tle, official of the Fruit
Growers league, reported.
The League members have
found in early planning that
the problem which always
arises in the case of consoli
dation is present in the fruit
processing picture. This is
how to use the same help
while consolidating the efforts
of the various fruit packing
firms.
One Solution
Storing of a large portion
of the Bartlett crop has been
proposed as a solution to
some of this problem. If Bart
letts for packing arc stored
until the Anjous are ready
for packing the crews will oe
moving a larger quantity of
fruit and a larger crew can
be maintained, Tuttle explain
ed. A similar problem was i-ic-ed
by industry members in
1954 when the crop was re
duced 50 per cent by frost.
Two shifts were operated at
that time to give work to
more people.
Salem Man Guilty
01 Armed Assault

of armed assault by a Circuit

ing John Parchman, 76. at his
home south of Salem May 25
Parchman. who suffered
brain damage, remains in a
coma at a nursing home at
Salem
William Berry. 18. Salem,
who pleaded guilty to a simi
lar charge two weeks ago.
testified that he saw Zahler
beat the elderly man with a
length of heavy chain.
The other three youths
, were charged with assault.
Two are awaiting trial. The
third, 16, has been committed
ilo the MacLarcn School for
Boys at Woodburn.
KML TRIBUNE, MEDFORD,
installing the huge concrete slabs which
will form tile building's office, had two of
the 20 ton capacity cranes operating in uni
son to lift the slabs. The crane's boom had
to be cut off and is now at a local steel com
pany being repaired. No workers were in
jured, company officials said.
This year, however, Tuttle
noted, the industry is view
ing a one-third crop instead
of half a crop and will be
lucky to realize the third.
This increases the seriousness
of the problem.
All members of the fruit
industry seem agreed thai the
fairest thing to do is to dis
tribute the work as broadly
as possible.

Black Oil Rate
Reduction Vetoed
Salem-uJPD - Public Utility
Commissioner Jonel C. Hill
has vetoed a Pacific Inland
Tariff Bureau proposal to cut
rates for hauling heavy resi
dual (black) oil by truck from
Portland to Riddle.
He said the action would
have resulted in one type of
traffic subsidizing lower rat
ed traffic for the main pur
pose of retaining business.
The rate on the black oil
hauling was reduced last Jan
uary and the trade group
wawted to cut it again to give
it a better comoetitive Dosi-
tion with railroads.
