County Unemployment Held

For the (irst time during the

ton, manager of the Medford
office of the Oregon State Em
ployment Service noted in his

"This is the first time during

SALEM (UP) - The state's
general fund had a carry-over
balance of $6 million at the end
of the 1961-63 biennium, and tax j
collections t,o far this year are :
up to estimate, the interim
committee on taxation was ad
vised Saturday.
Freeman Holmer, director of
the finance and administration
department, said "There isn't
any huge surplus" in the state
general fund as some persons
apparently believe.
He said the 1963 legislature's
tax increase measure would
raise an additional $63.5 million.

Highway 62 Scene
01 Two Accidents
Two auto accidents occurred
at almost the same spot within
two hours of each other Satur
day morning.
State police said the second
collision occurred indirectly as
a result of the first. Both were
on Highway 62 near Its intersec
tion with the Butte Falls high
way. Cars driven by Kittie Lorene
Ozier, 36, of 755 Stevens St.,
Medford, and Linda Lisa Minor,
50, of Shady Cove, were in
volved in a collision at about
9:15 a.m. Police said both cars
were southbound and that the
Ozier car struck the Minor ve
hicle. No one was injured, but
both cars were damaged.
Then at U a.m. an auto driven
by Kenneth Leroy LaGrave, 22,
of Shady Cove, struck a car op-
crated by Ronald William f men,
17. of Eagle Point. Finch's car
was at the end of a line of
traffic which had slowed down
to view the vehicles involved in
the earlier accident, police ex
plained. LaGrave and Raymond Claude
Finch, 55, of Eagle Point, a pas
senger in the first car, were
injured. They were taken to
Rogue Valley hospital for treat
ment, after which they were
released.

the budect adooted at the last
session.
He said if the tax is defeat
ed, all budgets, including basic
school support, would have to
be cut from 11 to 14 per cent
to keep the budget in balance.
Holmer said no cuts could be
made in debt reduction, or in
the budgets of constitutional of
fices or the legislature.
Pedcrson termed the effect of
the recent lumber strike on slate
tax collection "nominal." He
said there could be a long
range effect because of possi
ble plant modernization to
eliminate some jobs and close
some of the less profitable
mills.
Walker Files Suit
Against Editor Of
Mississippi
GREENVILLE, Miss. (UPD-
Former Maj. Gen. Edwin A.
Walker filed a $2 million slander
suit Saturday against Hodding
Carter, prize-winning editor-publisher
of the Greenville Delta
Democrat Times.
Walker based his suit on a
speech Carter made at the Uni
versity of New Hampshire last
October, a month after Walker
was arrested during racial riot
ing at the University of Missis
sippi. This is the second suit stem
ming from accounts of Walker's
actions during the university ri
oting. Earlier he filed a $1 mil
lion suit against the Associated
Press because of a news story
on his activities.
Walker charged that Carter
defamed "his good name" in the
New Hampshire speech which
he said was carried by news
papers and radio and television
stations throughout the country.
He claimed that Carter told the
audience that "Walker personal
ly led the insurrectionists" at
Ole Miss.
Walker also charged that Car
ter said, "General Walker has
been exposed once and for all
for what he is, a seditious psyco
path." Walker said tarter, a ruiuzcr
prize winner, "knew these
phrases to be untrue."
The suit, filed In Washington
county (Greenville) circuit court,
asks $1 million actual damages
and $1 million punitive damages.
It was filed on Walker's be
half by John W. Capers, a Jack
son attorney.
Capers said he would ask for
an immediate trial. He said

second half of August with the
picking of an unusually light
Bartlett crop. During this phase
there was little labor demand so
the need could be filled largely
by local people.
"In contrast to past years,
there was almost no flow of
migrant pickers through the
area," Patton said. "The mi
grant labor supply has usually
been high during the early sea
son and dropped off abruptly
when the winter pear harvest
started. These people now are
bypassing the Medford area
this year due to the lighter than
usual crop."
Pacific Northwest recruit
ment has produced very few
pickers due mainly to the com
petition from Willamette valley
area crops, which are later than
usual, plus a heavy pear and
apple crop in Washington.
Noticeable Impact
The Southern Oregon golf
tournament at the Rogue Val
ley Country club made a notice
able impact upon the local econ
omy in August, Patton noted.
Many of the 432 participants
came from outside the area
and an unknown large number
of visitors came to watch.
"As usual at this time of
year, shortages are developing
in the supply of skilled and
semi-skilled occupations," Pat
ton said. "During August, non
agricultural jobs filled were up
18 per cent over one. year ago.
The number of agricultural jobs
filled were below last year, due
to the light Bartlett pear crop
and Hie late start of the pear
harvest.
August's unemployment rate
of 2.8 per cent was down from
3.7 per cent for July, the re
port shows. Oregon's statewide
rate (or August was 2.9 per
cent.
Paper
Walker also would be represent
ed in the case by Attorney Clyde
J. Watts of Oklahoma City, Okla.
Walker, former commander of
the 24th division, now lives in
Dallas, Tex.
He was arrested near the uni
versity campus in Oxford dur
ing the racial turmoil touched
off by Negro James Meredith's
entrance into the all-white school
and charged with rebellion, in
surrection and seditious conspir
acy. A Lafayette county (Oxford)
grand Jury, however, failed to
indict him on the charges.

Ice Chunk May Be
From Outer Space
MOSCOW (UPI) An 11-
pound chunk of ice which fell
on nearby Domodedovo a lew
days ago might have come.
from space, the Soviet news
agency lass said Saturday.
There are grounds to be
lieve that this ice is of space
origin," Tass said. "Science, it
is true, docs not know any
precedent. But theoretically a
meteor body of ice can exist
in space."
It said astronomers, geochem
ists, glaciologists and other spe
cialists are trying to solve the
mystery of the chunk ot ice,
which weighed about 11 pounds
and splintered on hitting the
earth.
They believe "it is absolute
ly impossible for the ice that
fell in Domodedovo to be of at
mospheric origin; clear sunny
weather prevailed on that day
in that area," Tass said. "The
hypothesis that this ice fell off
a plane flying at a great height
is also rejected."
