MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON New Sensation Is Experienced During Afternoon Concert Ashland - An audienre ar. I f.oiino .mr,! u.nii c i.... r-i.. .. , . . ... ... An audience ac customed to rare and artis- "i. penormances yesterday rci'aiixg a new sensation as Miss Gayle Sandine read and sang the Psalms of Da vid. Her appearance high lighted the Wednesday after noon Festival concert in the Mark Antony hotel ball room. The young singer has not only a beautiful voice but a radiant smile and an amaz ing depth and intonation in her simple reading of the fa miliar Bible poetry. To her own accompaniment on the autoharp, Miss Sandine pre sentcd the Psalms with deep feeling, singing exultantly or prayerfully, while changing to the spoken word with breathless pause. The light background music she punc tuated by striking a triangle. The strangely moving pre sentation was given an add ed poignancy by the fact that the slender blonde, blue-eyed singer who has been blind since birth, "sings unto the Lord with a joyful voice," jubilant and reverential. Prolonged Applause Prolonged applause did not lessen the profound sense of worshipful praise. In contrast ing mood was Miss Sandine's encore, "The Old Lady Who awaiiow a tiy, given in hilarious animated tempo that brought roars of laughter. The Coos Bay singer was graduated from Willamette university in 1960 and in re cent months has developed her own technique of vocal expression in programs rang ing from children's ryhmes and stories to Biblical read ings. Festival musicians and dancers gave another in the series of semi-weekly concerts before an appreciative audi ence, repeating several num bers and presenting some ad ditional selections. Outstand ing was a suite of allegorical dances w i t h background. Rumour, depicted by point ing fingers and peering glances, was accompanied by dance steps themed to the subject, while Curiosity took on inquisitive gestures, and Earth became a solo of slow ly circling arms. With float ing ribbons Air danced light ly, followed by Fire, a whirl ing flame of banners, and Wa ter, a soft mingling of chif fon draperies in muted tones of blue and lavender. Polish Composition A Polish composition of the mid-1 6th century was a dance instrumental j ing notes excellently suited to! sisted by Miss Lucille Mcli- Elizabethan reed instruments. Ashland audiences have be come familiar with record ers and cnoy their strange tonality, so the trio and quartet playing Fr. Escobal di's "Canzona" and the Pol ish 'Duma ' were accorded ! appreciative applause. Vocal ists, instrumentalists and dancers are sharing alike in the universal acclaim given the season's concert series. Sunday at 3 p.m. another! program will be presented in the Caesar room of the Mark Antony hotel under the di rection of festival music di- nat. Miss Sliirlce Dodge and Miss Judy Of ford have been in charge of choreography. F.McC. of haunting melody and pip-1 rector W. Bernard Windt as TILE SURVEY New York (ITU American preference for durable, easy-to-maintain surfacing materi als has been pointed up in a recent coast-to-coast survey of home builders, according to the Tile Council of Ameri ca. Of 1.500 builders ques tioned, 80 per cent said they expect to use more ceramic tile in the next five years than they are using at present. Freeman To Hold To Cabinet Post Washington -il'Pii- Agricul ture Secretary Orville L. Free man plans to hold on to his cabinet post "as long as the President wants me." Freeman, who returned from a month-long trip to Rus sia and other Soviet bloc na tions Wednesday, said he had "no indication" the President did not want him. Republi cans claimed Freeman's trip was to groom him for a dip lomatic uost and then to ense him out of the cabinet because of the administration's defeat in the wheat referendum last May. THURSDAY.

(UPI) Polaris Sub To Be Overhauled To Up Offensive Punch Washington - IUPD - The nu clear Polaris submarine George Washington will be overhauled, refitted and re fueled to make it a more deadly weapon, the Navy has disclosed. The job will take a year and will cost about $15 mil lion. It will begin next June when the George Washington puts into Groton, Conn., for its first reactor refueling in nearly five years. The overhaul will include modifications that will en able the underwater vessel to carry 2.500-mile A-3 Polaris missiles which are 30 inches longer than the 28-foot, shorter-ranged types now in serv- ice. It will continue to carry 16 missiles but the tubes for them must be extended. The dale set for the over haul - several months later than had been expected prior to today s statement - repre sents an extension of nearly a year and a half in the oper ating lifetime of the vessel's original reactor core. Joined Fleet Advance predictions were that the sub would require overhaul and refueling every three years. The George Washington's reactor went "critical" in September, 1959. After sea trials, it joined the fleet in December, 1959. The Silo million submarine was the first in a Polaris fleet which now numbers 13 atom - driven submcrsibles. Eight more are to be com pleted in the next 11 months, 14 others are under construc tion, and six are in the de sign stage. Navy headquarters shifted the George Washington's ex tensive overhaul to Groton from the government yard at Portsmouth, N.H., after the nuclear - powered submarine Thresher was lost with 129 men off Cape Cod, Mass., April 10. The Thresher had just been overhauled at Portsmouth. A country -wide delay In submarine construction, re ducing by three the number of Polaris vessels to be com pletcd in this fiscal year, has also been ordered to allow for precautions against a possible recurrence of the Thresher disaster. Preliminary Work I he Navy earlier last week announced award of a S3 mil- on contract to the Electric Boat Division of General Dy namics Corp. to prepare for the George Washington's over haul. A spokesman said to day the initial contract covers only prelimirary work. Britii:). concession of a Polaris mainterance base at Holy Loch, Scotland, may have been a factor in extend ing the submarine's reactor lifetime. The George Wash ington was deployed overseas in February, 1961, and has not been home since. Another factor may have been that, although on con tinuous patrol two out of every three months, the sub marine undoubtedly travels at slow speed requiring less nuclear fuel. Movement at high speed would greatly in crease the chances of detection. Only the five Polaris sub marines in the 380-foot, 5,900 ton George Washington class will require such extensive modifications. The others in this class are the Patrick Henry, the Theo dore Roosevelt, the Robert E. Lee and the Abraham Lincoln. Early Versions Later Polaris submarines in the 410-feet, 8,900-ton Ethan Allen and the 425-foot, 7,000 ton Lafayette classes were built - or are beina- built originally to carry either the early versions of the Polaris missile or the longer and longer-ranged A-3. The A-3, scheduled to be come operational in mid-1964 and to replace earlier types when sufficient numbers are available, had a range of 2,500 nautical or 2.800 statute miles. The ranges of the A-l and A-2 versions were 1,200 and 1,500 nautical miles, re spectively. The missiles ini tially cost more than S1.5 mil lion each, but the price tae on all of them has now been Drought down to about si million each. Retail fee Safes Climb, Says Expert New York-a'PD-Willlam T. Jobe, executive vice presi dent of the National Ice as sociation, predicts that consu mers will purchase more than $100 million worth of processed packaged ice in 1963 for the first time in the history of the ice industry. He said large quantities of packaged ice also are sold to restaurants, taverns and Insti tutions. Retail sales of Ice last year amounted to $90 million. Jobe estimated that total sales volume, including in dustrial and commercial, will be more than $225 million Ih1 -eir. Circulation af Library Increases Circulation Increased 42 per cent during July at the branches of the Public Libra ry of Medford and Jackson County over the figures for July, 1962, the monthly sta tistical report revealed. The increase for Medford was 15 per cent bringing the increase for the whole system to 23.9 per cent. In numbers, the increase for the month over the same period in 1962 was 8,416, Omar Bacon, librarian, stated. Requests for library service jumped from 155 for July, 1962, to 468, or 201.93 per cent, for July, 1963. The July statistical report cover page carried a story, too. A diagram of the libraries of the county lists the 11 out lets available to citizens, and the total collection of books at 82,000. Phonograph records number 600, pamphlets, 22, 000, and periodicals, 260. The branches are Prospect, Shady Cove, Butte Falls, Ta ble Rock, Eagle Point, Gold Hill, Central Point, Jackson ville, Phoenix and Talent. Rogue River and Ashland are listed in the 11 outlets as "co operating," meaning that all have access to the circulation of books through the head quarters library at Medford. Daily orders from the State library in Salem are also available to all these library patrons.
