Transfer of License

Removal of one of the last of

But George Lewis, owner of
Rogue Travel service, 111 East
Eighth St., urged the council
to "eliminate" the tavern rather
than transfer its location.
Should Be Eliminated
"Front street has been a pig
sty for years," Lewis charged,
"and you shouldn't sweep it
under the rug. You should elim
inate it entirely."
Lewis, whose business is lo
cated about a half block away
from Otto's tavern, claimed the
proprietors "haven't done a de
cent job." He said he has had
to call the police at least once
a week about things "these
dregs of humanity have done."
He said he was "at complete
variance'' with the city police
report, which had found no
reason to recommend against
the transfer. "The proprietors
will run a poor establishment,"
he predicted. "Their patrons
have ruined my business for
five years."
Reeder replied that the new

that "decentralization will help
minimize the problem." The
vote to permit the transfer of
the license was unanimous.
Grant Application
Will Be Forwarded
JACKSONVILLE - The ap
plication for a $41,086 federal
grant to finance a year-long
study of the feasibility and cost
of restoring the central business
area of Jacksonville will be
mailed this week end.
The cily council took t h e
necessary action to take care
of a few last-minute technical
details at its meeting Tuesday
night, according to City Attor
ney Ervin B. Hogan.
Hogan reported he had ap
proved the application and turn
ed it over to Jack Sutton, co
ordinator of the project. Sutton
said the application, which will
go "e San Francisco office
of Federal Housing and
Hor. .j Finance agency, will be
mailed this week end.
The proposed Jacksonville His
toric Preservation and Restora
tion project calls for restoring
the central area of Jacksonville
from First st. to Fourth st. and
between Main and C sis.
If the initial loan application
is approved, a study will he
made to determine the cost of
restoring each building involved
in hhe proposed project.
Finance Director
Warns of Drastic
Cuts in Services
SALEM (UPI) - Immediate
drastic cuts in state services
will have to be ordered if the
legislature's tax bill is defeated
at the Oct. 15 election, regard
less of whether a special session
of the legislature is called.
Freeman Holmer; director of
finance and administration, told
the legislative fiscal committee
here today "reductions must be
made if the vote on Oct. 15
is negative."
He said because part of the
biennium already has passed,
cutbacks would have to average
about 27 per cent.
He said this means the "food
for prisoners and hospital pa
tients will be cut, the number
of guards and hospital workers
will be cut.
Barest Minimunis
"A cut of this magnitude
means dropping back to the
barest minimums."
He said welfare cuts would be
made because there would be
no money, and admitted this
would work a severe hardship
on welfare recipients.
"There's nothing else we can
do," Holmer said.
He warned there would be no
change in these cutbacks for
as much as five months, even
if a special legislative session
were called and enacted new
taxes, because of the possibility
of any new tax bill being re
ferred. He said because of the at
torney general's ruling that
basic school support could not
he cut by the governor, and be
cause certain other general fund
monies cannot be slashed, only
about $244.5 million of the
stale's $404 million general fund
budget is subject to cuts.
He said tentative planning in
dicates these cutbacks would
would have to be made:
Grants to local schools $1.2
million, community college sup
port $2 million, higher educa
tion, $17.6 million from opera
tions, and another $7.4 million
from construction.
Matching Fund Loss
Public welfare would be cut
$8.5 million, which could trig
ger a loss of an additional $12
million in federal and county
matching funds for a total loss
of $20 million.
Mental health institutions and
clinics $6.7 million, correctional
institutions $2.6 million, natural
resources agencies $1.9 million,
and other general fund operating
appropriations $8 million.
In addition to the $7.4 million
cutback in higher education's
construction budget, another $2.5
million in other capital construc
tion will have to be postponed.
Holmer said these cuts "can
not be made without extremely
grave consequences."
Earlier legislative fiscal of
ficer Ken Bragg said the state
might have to revert to issuing
warrants if there was not enough
money to perform "the basic
functions of government.'
Grants Pass People
Complain to City
GRANTS PASS A group of
about 30 persons present to com
plain about the city administra
tion was advised by Grants Pass
Councilmen Wednesday night to
"get some facts" if it expected
them to give the complaints ser
ious consideration.
Those present to complain
charged that there was dissen
sion among employees of the
city and the police department,
hut spoke primarily of rumors
they had heard.
One speaker said he knew of
"20 or more" dissatisfied cily
employees, hut that they could
not be identified for fear of los
ing their jobs.
The councilmen and Mayor
Robert C. Martin assured the
visitors they would talk with
anyone who had a specific com

State Chancellor
Says No Threats
Issued About Cuts
ASHLAND Stressing the fact
that no threats have been issued
at any time through the Oregon
state system of higher educa
tion regarding cuts in services
if the Oct. 15 tax referendum
is voted down, Dr. Roy E. Lieu-
alien, chancellor of the system,
addressed the Southern Oregon
college fall faculty meeting
Thursday in the Brut student
center.
Dr. Licuallcn declared that in
every case the board had been
instructed to respond to the
state department of finance and
administration directives as to
cuts in educational services in
case a "yes" vote is not ob
tained. Dr. Lieuallen further staled
that the board had decided to
make only those cuts that would
not lead to serious erosion in
the quality of education offered,
particularly in respect to quality
of faculty members.
The chancellor also said that
he attributed much of the
growth of Southern Oregon col
lege to the outstanding faculty,
the expanding course offerings,
the fine public image of the
college and the fact that this is
one of the most rapidly expand
ing areas in the state in terms
of population growth.
He said that institutional rival
ry is healthy and should be en
couraged but that educational
goals and standards of each in
stitution should be consistent
with the overall pattern of the
state system of higher education
and state law.
Some of the tasks confronting
college educators in the near
future were enumerated by the
speaker as establishing confi
dence in higher education, con
tinuous revaluation of curricu
lum in terms of state needs
of present and future and self
study of long range planning
to insure the best use of student
time.
Obtaining adequate suppoit
from the public and the legisla
ture was another task listed by
the chancellor. He explained
that the rapid increase in the
number of high school gradu
ates with the lack of economic
growth at the same time com
plicated the "picture a great
deal."
He said he felt that any con
tinuing erosion of such support
would have serious effects on
every citizen in Oregon and on
every branch of government.

Name for Park Is
Suggested to City
A report was submitted to
the Medford city council last
night recommending that "Cily
of Medford Memorial park" be
selected as the name for the un
developed park site along Bear
creek.
The name was selected by the
cily parks and rccrcalion com
mission. The report was made
by Commissioner Donald Rev
crman, who said the commis
sion felt the Bear creek site
"should stand distinctly apart
from the school parks in Med
ford." He said it will be developed
lo provide for all age groups
and was intended to replace
Hawthorne park, which was re
duced in size by construction of
Interstate 5 overpass.
Revcrman said many groups,
organizations and individuals
have expressed a desire to as
sist and participate in the devel
opment of the new park site,
but at present the city had "no
means of recognizing their con
tributions." He said it was for that reason
"Memorial park" was chosen.
He proposed that all above
ground facilities bear the names
of groups or individuals who
contributed them.
He said in time he believed
the park would come to be
known simply as "city park."
The council accepted the re
port, but took no action on It.

the fact that many prospective

Economy Pledges
Not Satisfactory
To Congressmen
WASHINGTON (UPI) Con
servative Southern Democrats
were reported today swinging
to support of a proposed Repub
lican anti-spending amendment
to President Kennedy's $11 bil
lion tax cut bill.
Rep. Omar Burleson (D-Tex.),
chairman of an informal asso
ciation of Southern congress
men, said neither he nor other
members of the group wera
satisfied with Kennedy's econ
omy pledges. Other Southern
sources confirmed this report.
Broadcast Planned
The amendment's spon s o r.
Rep. John W. Byrnes (R-Wis.),
prepared to make an "equal
time" radio and television
broadcast tonight to reply to
Kennedy's tax cut appeal and
to defend the GOP economy
plan.
Byrnes was expected to argua
that taxes should not be re
duced in the face of continued
government deficits unless Con
gress acts at the same time to
block further increases in spend
ing. Kennedy, in a broadcast to tha
nation Wednesday, pledged that
waste and inefficiency in gov
ernment would not be tolerated
but he urged Congress not to
tie to the tax cut "ruinous
amendments" that might delay
or impede its beneficial effect
on the economy.
The tax cut comes up for
House action next week. It
would trim both corporate and
personal taxes, with the first
phase of a two-part reduction
set to take effect on Jan. 1.
To Suggest Two Steps
Byrnes, top Republican mem
ber of the Ways and Means
Committee which recommended
the bill on a split vote, will ask;
the House to make the cut con
tingent on two specific economy
steps.
First, Kennedy would have to
submit to Congress in January a
revised budget for the rest of
the current bookkeeping year
which ends June 30, projecting
total outlays of not more than
$97 billion. This is about $1 bil
lion less than the spending now
planned.
Second, the President in pro
jecting spending for the fiscal
year which starts July 1 would
have to propose a budget ot
not more than $98 billion. This,
too, is less than is now consid
ered likely.
