De Gaulle Seen Paving Way
For Meeting With Kennedy
No Effort Made
To Hide Nation's
Disagreements
'Reconciliation'
Session Hinted
Paris-OIPIl-President Charles
de Gaulle is holding the door
open for a possible "recon
ciliation meeting" with Presi
dent Kennedy in Washington
early next year, French offici
als said today.
The officials interpreted De
Gaulle's remarks at his first
news conference in six months
Monday as an indication he
seeks talks with the United
States to bring France's rela
tions with Washington out of
their long freeze.
De Gaulle made no effort
to conceal France's disagree
ments with some aspects of
U.S. policy. But the differ
ences were far narrower than
those that came out in his
last press conference Jan. 14.
At that time, he vetoed Brit
ain's bid for Common Market
membership and rejected
Kennedy's offer of Polaris
nuclear missiles.
Monday, De Gaulle reject
ed the nuclear test ban agree
ment concluded by the United
States, Britain and Russia,
and said of Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev's plan
for a non-aggression pact:
"France does not appreciate
assimilation of the Atlantic
alliance and Communist slav
ery." . '. ; ;
But he went out of his way
to emphasize that, despite ob
vious disagreements, relations
between the United States and
France are based on "friend
ship and alliance."
Officials here interpreted
this as a broad hint that he
feels the time has come for
talks with Kennedy, with the
groundwork starting through
diplomatic channels and
working up to a possible visit
to Washington.
European reaction to De
Gaulle's statements followed
predictable lines. Moscow Ra
dio Monday night denounced
his rejection of the test ban
treaty as "absurd and fool
ish." Pravda said today that
De Gaulle "more than once had
recourse to slander the Soviet
Union" in his remarks.
British Foreign Secre t a r y
Lord Home said Monday night
that De Gaulle did no more
than had been expected of
him in turning down the nu
clear agreement.
"We have always recogniz
ed ourselves this agreement
would present a particular
problem for France," he said,
because of its "betwixt and
between" position in the nu
clear arms race.
Communist Attacks

Civic Center Idea
Endorsed by Local
Improvement Group
The Medford Capital Im-
nrnviMnents committee unani
mously endorsed the civic
center concept at a meeting
this morninc. and urged May
or James Dunlevy to "imple
ment it witn an possioie
speed.
The motion was made by
L. E. McEachron after several
committee members reported
on their Impressions of the
Eugene civic ' center, which
they visited a week ago.
Walter Higgins, planning
commission member, said he
had been "tremendously im

Tribune
heard in Eugene about the
necessity of providing ample
off-street parking facilities to
serve such a grouping of pub
lic buildings.
Has Head Start
Gerald Latham, business
manager of the Mail Tribune,
told the group he feels Med
ford "has a head start" to
ward a civic center since a
number of public buildings
are already located, or slated
for construction, in the area
contemplated for the develop
ment. Tentative plans call for the
Medford civic center to be
located in an area adjacent
to the Jackson county court
house. A federal post office
building is scheduled to be
constructed about a block
away from the courthouse.
City Councilman Jack Ed-
son, an architect, said he felt
the Eugene civic center was
an excellent example of "re
building the heart of a city.
He placed particular stress on
the esthetic value of the Eu
gene development, but point
ed out that land, values have
"sky rocketed around the
center" since its creation.
Hat Been Impressed
Committee Chairman Rich
ard Travis said that he had
been impressed with the
"functional aspects" of the
center. He said that within a
two-block area, a Eugene res
ident could conduct all his
government business "con
veniently and easily."
City Manager Robert Duff
cited the close cooperation
between the Eugene city ad
ministration and the Lane
rnnntv commissioners in clan
ning and developing the civic
center. He said similar coop
eration would need to be tos
tcred here before such a proj
ect would be possible.
The committee will meet
again next Tuesday morning
at which time Duff will pre
sent a compilation of fore
casts from various depart
ments in city hall on their
immediate and long range
capital improvements needs.

Cold War Issues
Non-Aggression -Pact
Comes First
Geneva - IUPI) - The Soviet
Union today offered to negoti
ate a wide range of cold war
issues with the West but im
plied that a non aggression
pact between NATO and War
saw bloc nations will have to
be concluded first.
Soviet disarmament negoti
ator Semyon K. Tsarapkin,
opening a new round in the
17 -nation disarmament con
ference after a six-week re
cess, said, "The Soviet Union
places great importance on the
issue of a non - aggression
pact.
It places the issue impera
tively at the forefront of dis
cussions," he said.
Tsarapkin said there is "no
reason why this solemn pact
of peace" should not be easily
concluded in the "present
favor able atmosphere." He
then went on to list other is
sues which could be dis
cussed.
Earlier the United States
pledged to carry forward the
"momentum" achieved in re
cent East - West agreements
and to seek further under
standings.
American disarmament ne
gotiator Charles C. Stelle said
the three-power limited test
ban agreement means "a shaft
of light has cut into the dark
ness. "The sun has not yet risen,
but the shaft of light is there,"
he said. "It is not as wide as
might be wished, but it is as
bright as mans hopes will
make it."

Enrollment Rise in
State Colleges Is
Discussed at Event
Ashland-A 6 per cent in
crease in enrollment through
out the Oregon state system
of higher education and a 17.8
increase for Southern Oregon
college was predicted Mon
day in an enrollment projec
tion for the approaching aca
demic year agreed upon at the
inter - institutional executive
meeting held in the Commons
building in Ashland.
Dr. Roy E. Llcuallen, chan
cellor of the stale system of
higher education, presided at
the all day session.
Much time was devoted to
the discussion of master plan
ning, stressing the necessity
for coordination of plans
throughout the system and
within each institution in the
system.' SOC was praised for
the long-term plan of expan
sion developed at the Ashland
institution.
Bonds Are Discussed
A possible tax referral and
bonding program to provide
for construction beyond the
provisions of the legislature
was discussed.
Considered in the discus
sion were buildings which
would not be self liquidating,
but it was suggested that the
same machinery used for
getting Bonding Measure No.
6, which was for self liquidat
ing buildings before the peo
ple, would probably be avail
able. The committee was es
tablished as "Colleges for
Oregon's Future."
Plans for the annual meet
ing of the stale board of high
er education and the slate
board of education were dis
cussed. The meeting will be
held in September in Salem.
Many routine business mat
ters were brought before the
session, including administra
tive code provisions regard
ing patent policies, treatment
of funds for dormitory coun
selling in future budgets,
treatment of new personnel
requests, release of staff mem
bers, purchases and traffic
and parking regulations for
institutions.
Provisions for over head
contracts with other stale
agencies, which specify that
10 per cent of the contract
would revert to a general con
tingency fund, were discussed
by the group. This would
mean, for instance, that if the
slate system of higher educa
tion had a contract with the
state board of health, 10 per
cent would revert to the con
tingency fund.
