President Kennedy sped into
the Northern Plains states today
i with. a call for 'parity of oppor -

urban living.
His "nonpolitical" tour picked
up definite partisan tinges as it
moved along.
Accepts Degree
On the second day of his fast
moving tour devoted to the sub
ject of conservation and devel
opment of natural resources,
Kennedy flew from Duluth,
Minn., to Grand Forks to accept
an honorary degree f rom the
University of North Dakota and
address himself to rural electri
fication problems of the vast
farmlands of this area.
From Grand Forks, the Pres
ident's itinerary took him to
Cheyenne, Wyo.; an afternoon
speech at the University of Wy
oming in Laramie; another
speech date at Billings, Mont.,
and an overnight stop at the
famed Wyoming resort and
hunting area, Jackson Hole.
Compares Standards
In his prepared speech at the
University of North Dakota,
Kennedy said there was a great
and continuing need for nar
rowing the differences in liv
ing standards of American city
and rural populations, particu-'
larly in the cost of electric pow
er which becomes increasingly
needed in mechanized farming.
"We are seeking, in short,
true parity of opportunity, but
it will not come overnight," he
said.
To achieve it will require
a new impetus in electrification
development, new starts in our
multipurpose dam programs,
and new and greater use of our
land, water, timber and wild
life resources."

Public Hearing
May Be Called on
Water District
A public hearing will be call
ed soon on the proposed forma
tion of the West Side Water dis
trict, County Judge Earl M. Mil
ler said today.
He noted a map of the area
showed far more people have
sought exclusion from the pro
posed water district than have
! asked for inclusion. County
Commissioner Donald E. Faber
recently completed the map
showing properties seeking ex
clusion and inclusion.
Areas with most property own
ers seeking inclusion were along
Ray id. and Frceland id. The
Frecland rd. area has lots al
most of city lot size, which
makes a water line almost a ne
cessity, It was pointed out.
"Right now it looks as if the
proposed water district is both
a physical and financial impos
sibility," County Judge Miller
commented. "However, it is
premature to give out much in
formation on iliis yet. We have
some other details which we
must gather more information
on."
A hearing held Aug. 7 indi
cated a majority of those attend
ing were opposed to formation
of the district. Then approxi
mately 150 people cither prop
erty owners living within the
proposed district boundaries, or
owners of property there and
living elsewhere, attended. The
hearing was continued until
more information could be ob
tained. Since then, letters from prop
erly owners in the area have
come to the county court almost
daily. Most of these stated the
owners did not want to be in
cluded in the district.

Held Prisoners
Bosch and his entire cabinet
were held prisoners in the presi

signed by 26 ranking officers of
the army, navy, air force and
police pledged continued Do

Ministers' Parley
Slated Saturday
NEW YORK (UPI) - The
Big Three foreign ministers
meeting here Saturday shapes
up as a cautious test of the ex
tent of the cold war "thaw
rather than a negotiating ses
sion on specific issues, high
American officials said today.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
expects no surprising new pro
posals to ease East - West ten
sion from Soviet Foreign Min
ister Andreo Gromyko at this
point, his aides said.
He does hope, however, to
discover whether Russia's new
cordiality toward the West
together with Moscow's almost
complete break with Red China
has improved chances for
reasonable negotiations on Ber
lin and other critical issues.
nificance of the item, Dr.
Prickctt reported. For example,
few of the interviewers indi
cated they went to Medford to
buy cosmetics, whereas t h e
number was quite a bn higher
for automobiles.
Oilier preliminary conclusions
thai could be drawn from Ihe
survey, he said, were that a
majority of those interviewed
said they do most of their shop
ping by cash, and that there
were a number of comments to
indicate that Ashland stores
may have a dearth of merchan
dise in the medium price range.
Of the families interviewed"
there were 44 with professional
men as the head of household
29 businessmen, 171 skilled
workers, 88 semi skilled, 14 un
skilled, 113 retired and 13 col

"These figures indicate that
there is a largo group here ot
skilled and semi-skilled work
ers who are paid by the hour,"
Dr. Prlckett noted.
