Incorporation Plans
Aired at Meeting
Ashland Incorporation
plans were discussed Monday
night when Bellview residents
belonging to the Anti-Annexation
committee met in the
Grange hall.
Reports from the current
survey indicated that of the
voters contacted in the seven
areas once considered for an
nexation to the city of Ash
land, 135 favor incorporation;
120 are opposed; 52 are unde
cided and 20 have not yet
been polled. Final decision is
to be made at a meeting set
Aug. 12.
Cost figures and compari
son of services were present
ed at the Monday night ses
sion conducted by Milton
Hamilton. Statistics and esti
mates were given by the
League of Oregon Cities and
by the State Sanitary Author
ity. Provision of sewer and wa
ter service are of paramount
concern to residents of the
area lying to the south and
east of Ashland city limits.
These were the issues during
several months of controversy
when petitions for and against
annexation were studied by
the city council and finally
dropped last month.
If the completed survey in
dicates that a majority of the
Bellview residents approve
incorporation an election will
be called.

which has idled more than
29,000 workers in four states

PATRICK HURLEY
Former Ambassador
Patrick Hurley,
Critic of Yalta
Agreement, Dies
Santa Fe, N. M. - (UPIi - Maj.
Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, for
mer secretary of war, diplo
mat, and bitter Republican
critic of the Yalta agreement
which he said established
Communist power in China,
died in his sleep Tuesday
night at the age of 80.
Hurley's career as a soldier,
lawyer, oilman and public ser
vant spanned two world wars
and brought him wealth and
high honors.
But he was defeated in three
attempts to win a seat in the
U.S. Senate. And he was nev
er reconciled to the policies
which led him to resign as
ambassador to China in 1945.
Protetted Yalta Pact
He quit in protest against
the provision of the Yalta
agreement which said: "The
former rights of Russia vio
lated by the treacherous at
tack of Japan in 1904 shall
be restored.
Last year, Hurley said this
provision "not only revived
and restored imperialism to
China, but owing to the fact
that there was no longer a
czar nor any Russian govern
ment other than the Soviet,
the former Imperial rights of
the czar were given to the
Chinese Communists.
"I declined to make that
provision effective and re
signed as ambassador," Hur
ley recalled. "General George
Marshall was sent to China
and did make that provision
effective.
Blueprint for Conquest
"At the time I stated: 'The
Yalta secret agreement is the
blueprint for the Communist
conquest of China.' "
The other major controver
sy in his public life came in
1952, when in his third cam
paign for the U.S. Senate he
was defeated by the Demo
cratic incumbent, the late
Dennis Chavez, by fewer than
5,000 votes.
Hurley charged widespread
election fraud, and had the
ballots impounded. But the
ballots in three counties were
burned. A recount was impos
sible, and Chavez was certi
fied by state officials as re
elected. Portland Council
Approves Negroes
Portland - (UPI) - The Port'

ment to employ two Negroes

ly adopted a report to shelve

lic housing project.
No discussion was held on
the issues and there were no
protests from spectators.

recommended the passage
Tuesday.

Court Rejects
Appeal Presented
By Lane County
Circulation of
Petitions Slated
Salem - (Urn - The Oregon
Supreme Court this morning
cleared the way for circula
tion of petitions for a special
tax referendum by upholding
the ballot title written by
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn
ton. The court turned down an
appeal by a Lane county
group that the wording be
changed. State Sen. Edward
Fadeley (D Eugene) argued
for the change in a court hear
ing Tuesday.
In a brief opinion this
morning, the court said Thorn
ton's title complies with the
law.
The Thorton title reads:
"To increase state revenues.
Abolishes federal tax deduc
tion. Lower personal tax
rates. Provides minimum tax.
Increases corporation rates,
effective on or before Janu
ary, 1963."
Petition Deadline Sept. 1
Foes of the 1963 legisla
ture's bill to raise an added
$60 million in tax revenue
now have until Sept. 1 to col
lect 23,185 signatures needed
to bring the issue to a vote
Oct. 15.
Albany publisher J. Fran
cyl Howard, who is leading
the move to get the bill on
the ballot, snid he was "high
ly delighted" with the court's
speedy decision.
He hopes to get petitions
in circulation next Tuesday,
although the big job of print
ing the petitions hasn't start
ed yet.
Howard waited until the
court decision on the ballot
title before going ahead with
the printing job.
Each petition can carry
only 20 signatures but will
have to include the full text
of the tax bill, which is 18
pages long.
Howard said he docs not
have a statewide organization
to push for the petition signa
tures, but he has received
pledges of help from through
out the state.

Survivors' Search
Resumed in Skopje
Skopje, Yugoslavia - (UPI) -The
almost hopeless search
for survivors buried In the
ruins of this earthquake-shattered
city resumed today
while engineers fought im

mite and anti-vermin sprays.
The French, team leading
the quest for victims of Fri

in the last 24 hours with their
ultra-sensitive search appar
atus. They found Bogdan Mar-
ckovic under tons of rubble
Tuesday night and he was
quickly flown, in serious con
dition, to Belgrade for treat
ment. But outside this once-bustling
city, U.S. Army medics
worked around the clock aid
ing injured citizens of Skopje,
and the survivors' confidence
and morale rose sharply when
they heard the GI' would
stay as long as they are need

Bracero Extension
Bill May Be Taken
To Senate
Washlnglon-WPH-Three Sen
ate liberals prepared today to
carry to the Senate floor their
fight against extension of the
Mexican bracero farm labor
program.
The ' liberals, headed by
Sen. Harrison A. Williams Jr.
(D-N.J.), were expected to
keep hammering at the point
that the bill had been pushed
through the Senate Agrlcul
ture Committee without hear
ings.
Joining Harrison in the
drive against the bill to ex
tend the program were Sens.
M a u r i n e B. Neuberger ID
Ore.), and Eugene J. McCar
thy (D-Minn.), who unsuccess
fully opposed approval of the
bill In the Agriculture Com
mittee. The bill, introduced by
Sen. Gordon Allott (R-Colo.).
would extend for one year a
program under which hun
dreds of thousands of Mexi
can workers - the Braceros -have
been brought into the
United States for temporary
work on farms.
Williams, chairman of the
Senate Migratory Labor sub
committee, succeeded in get
ting the Kennedy Administra
tion on record against the bill,
which was introduced after
the House killed legislation
to extend the program for
two years.
Labor Undersecretary John
F. Hcnning termed the pro
gram a "betrayal" of Amer
ican f ii I'm workers and snid
it was a "wretched law that
should be buried."
If extended, Hcnning said,
it should be changed to re
quire American farmers to
offer similar benefits such
as free transportation and
housing to domestic workers
before using Mexican labor.
