Christmas Season
Stamps Now on Sale
At Post Office H ere
Postage stamps honorine the
Christmas season went on sale
today at the Medford post of
fice and all the branches and
substations, Al Bradford, acting
Medford postmaster, reported.
The post office department,
vyhich ran out of Christmas
stamps last year, the first year
that a special stamp was is
sued for Christmas season, has
issued more than 10 times as
many of the stamps this year
in hopes of supplying the mail
ing public as long as Christ
mas mail is moving, Bradford
stated.
JThe national supply totals 2
billion stamps, Bradford said,
and he has ordered 300,000
stanmps for the Medford de
mand. Stamps Sold Out
JThe Medford post office, a
lqng with offices all over the
nation, sold out the special
stamps the first week they
went on sale and requests for
the stamps continued.
Last year the post office de
partment officials, Bradford ex
plained, were a little hesitant
about promoting the stamp for
ff ir that it might be considered
iq competition with the Tuber
culosis Christmas Seals. They
found there was no conflict.
A postage stamp was needed
to. carry TB seals to their des
tination and people seemed to
prefer the Christmas postage
stamp for all Yuletide uses.
This year the department is
therefore giving the Christmas
postage stamp a real push.
The stamp adopted this year
has a blue background and is
a painting of the lighted Pres
idential tree in front of the
White House. It was designed
by Lily Spandorf, formerly of
Vienna, who has been in the
United States only two years.
Reminder Issued
Bradford also issued a re
minder today to post office pa
trons regarding mail to the
armed forces.
Parcels and greeting cards
mailed by surface transporta
tion to the armed forces over
seas should be in the mail by
Nov. 20 to insure delivery in
time for Christmas, he noted.
Suggested dates for mailing
airmail parcels and greeting
cards are between Dec. land

Controversial
Television Show
Canceled by BBC
LONDON (UPI)-More con
troversy today greeted the news
that the government-owned Brit
ish Broadcasting Corp. (BBC)
is canceling Britain's most con
troversial television show, which
once made fun of Queen Eliza
beth. "That Was The Week That
Was," a ribald, irreverent video
satire, will go off Dec. 28 be
cause general elections are
scheduled next year, the BBC
announced Wednesday.
The cancellation of the show
was announced three days after
the debut of an American ver
sion which was staged by the
National Broadcasting Com
pany. Politics make up a major por
tion of the show's satire, the
BBC explained, and it would be
extremely difficult to treat the
mattof fairly in an election
year.
Reaction Loud
Reaction to the show's demise
was prompt and loud.
Sir Cyril Osborne, a conserv
ative member of parliament,
said he was "damn pleased. It
wasn't English at all."
Labor party leader Haorld
Wilson charged "political pres
sure" was behind the move but
the BBC denied this.
The BBC is a government-
owned corporation, financed by
annual taxes on radio and tel
evision sets. But it operates in
dependently and without direct
control of its political content.
All of London's daily news
papers put the news in front
page headlines and some
charged that the show's death
was forced by disgruntled poli
ticians or embarrassed BBC ex
ecutives. That Was The Week That
Was which came to be known
as TWTWTW and later as sim
ply TW3 based its Saturday
h.giiL shows on the. events of
the previous week and evolved
a loose-knit cabaret style that
was used to poke fun at such
sacred institutions as religion
and royalty. I

Kennedy Starts
Five-Day Trip;
Address Slated
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Presi-dent
Kennedy departs today on
a five-day trip that will find
him speaking before business
and labor groups, watching a
Polaris missile-firing at sea,
and delivering a major address
on Latin America.
The Chief Executive arranged
his schedule to combine brief
ings on the nation's military
readiness with a relaxing week
end at his Palm Beach, Fla.,
winter retreat.
Kennedy begins his journey
with a helicopter hop to the
Maryland - Delaware state line
this afternoon for a ribbon
cutting ceremony officially
opening a - new toll road de
signed to reduce the driving
time between New York and
Washington.
The new route, a 59-mile seg
ment known as the Northeast
ern Expressway Interstate
Route 95, is located parallel to
old U.S. Route 40, a neon
lighted road long considered
one of the most hideous as well
as dangerous stretches of high
way in the East.
Governors To Participate
Govs. J. Millard Tawes of
Maryland and Elbert N. Carvel
of Delaware will participate in
the ceremonies.
The President will then heli
copter to the Great Wilming
ton, Del., Airport to board a
DC6 for the flight to New
York's Laguardia Airport.
The White House said Ken
nedy had decided to dispense
with the usual police' motorcy
cle escort and would motor
from Laguardia to the Carlyle
Hotel in Manhattan without the
usual accompaniment of
screaming sirens.
Kennedy is scheduled to ap
pear at 11 a.m. EST Friday at
the AFL-CIO's fifth biennial
convention to address the 1,200
delegates. AFL-CIO President
George Meany and Walter P.
Reuther, president of the Unit
ed Auto Workers and an AFL
CIO vice president, are strong
Kennedy backers.
The President planned to fly
from New York to Palm Beach
Friday afternoon.
Plans Canaveral Visit
On Saturday mornine. his
schedule included a brief but
busy trip to Cape Canaveral,
his first since Sept. 11, 1962. Be
sides a helicopter look at the
Merritt Island moon shot site.
he will be briefed by National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration (NASA) and Air Force
officials on the mighty Saturn
rocket that will be used in the
moon probe.
Moving to other launch com
plexes by car, he will get the
latest word on the two-man or
bital Gemini program and the
Titan II booster for that pre-
Apollo shot, expected sometime
in 19(55.
Finally, from the deck of a
missile support ship 25 miles at
sea, Kennedy will view the fir
ing of a Polaris missile under
water from the new nuclear
powered submarine Andrew
Jackson.
From there the president will
fly to Palm Beach for a quiet
weekend.

Broadway Theater
League Opens Its
Season in Medford
There's a line in "A Thousand
Clowns" in which Donald Barry.,
playing the role of an insecure
television actor, says "maybe
I'm just having an off-day."
Well, maybe that line could be
applied to last night's perform
ance of "Clowns" which opened
the season here for the Medford
Broadway Theater League. Per
haps the cast was just having
an off-night.
This play by Herb Gardner,
whom we are told has been
hailed by New York critics and
playgoers as an "important new
talent," does have its moments.
The playwright may have no
significant message, but many
of the lines are pungent and the
situations should be sure - fire
with audiences at least they
are the same situations which
we have been meeting in the so
called Broadway comedy for
quite a few years now.
The play's main claim f o r
worth is to point up the un
realistic attitudes and confused
methods which sometimes infil
trate social service work.
John Ireland, in the role of
Murray Burns, a rebel who has
tired of his job as a television
writer and is a little sick of the
world in general, is billed as the
star. Ireland is a competent
actor who has had scores of
good roles in television, movies
and on the stage, but a star
should shine, and he didn't last
night. His performance, how
ever, was much better than
those of his supporting cast.
Considerable Appeal
Young Gregg Weir, cast as
Murray's nephew whom ho is
trying to raise with some of his
uncle's rebel viewpoints, has
considerable appeal but many
of his lines were lost to the audi
ence because of poor diction and
his Brooklyn or maybe it is
Bronx accent.
Nancy Douglas is cast as San
dra Markowitz, a young welfare
worker who decides that she
isn't fitted for her job because
she becomes too emotionally in
volved in the lives of her cases.
The audience is willing to agree
on this point, since she in
volves" herself to the point of
Hit, Run Reported Hazel
Cora Larson, 774 Queens Drive,
Medford, reported a hit and
run accident which resulted in
damage to her car while it was
parked on Sixth Street between
Riverside Avenue and Bartlett
Street, according to city police
report Tuesday.
Tools Missing Barney A.
Nunley, 59 Rose Ave., Medford,
reported the theft of tools, val
ued at $150, from a pickup
parked at his residence to city
police Tuesday. M. Houston
Hurt, 2629 Table Rock Road,
Medford, reported the theft of
two tires, tubes and wheels, val
ued at $160.
Laird Cilcd Philip Marvin
Laird, 2397 N. Eighth St., Coos
Bay, was cited by city police
for making an improper left
turn in connection with a non
injury accident in Medford
Tuesday. The Laird vehicle col
lided with one operated by John
Brooks Spain, Medford, at Jack
son Street and North Central
Avenue.
Fence Permitted The Ore
gon Bank was issued a building
permit Wednesday for construc
tion of a fence at 1025 Court
St., Medford, at a cost of $1,200.
Business Names The busi
ness name The Sugar Shack at
414 E. Main St., has been as
sumed by Floyd Courtright, 401
S. Peach St., and George Lovcn
borg, 618 Dakota Ave., accord
ing to records in the Jackson
County recorder's office.
Flown North Two valley
residents were recently flown to
Veterans Administration Hospi
tal for medical treatment. Flown
by Mercy Flights Inc., Tuesday
was Robert Wallace of the Rob
inson Hotel, Medford, who went
to Vancouver, Wash. He was the
1,639th patient to be flown by
the non profit air ambulance
service since it was organized.
The other patient, flown to Port
land, was Ashland Police Of
ficer Glenn Cathcy.
Electrical Short Medford
firemen were dispatched to the
residence of Robert L. Merritt,
32 N. Peach St., about 9:05 p.m.
yesterday when an electrical
short was reported. They said
there was no fire apparent and
stood by until an electrician ar
rived to determine the location
of the short.

Shields, 4074 S Pacific Highway,
Medford, is a surgery patient
at Sacred Heart Hospital.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
spending the night with a man
sne met only that morning.
We're willing to believe that
Miss Douglas has talent, but
perhaps it is poor direction that
allows her to play almost the
entire evening with a wide-eyed
stare, a fixed smile and a mo
notonous voice level.
There's another line in the
play which we recall, one where
Sidney Rayder, another welfare
worker, says in effect, "This
sounds like I wrote it out just
before I said it." He did, indeed,
sound that way much of the
time and so did Miss Douglas.
Enlivens Things
Donald Barry was Chuckles
the Chipmunk, a pitiful actor
who knows how terrible his
show is and admits that even
his own children don't think he's
very funny. He enlivens things
a bit, but since he doesn't come
on stage until the play is more
than half over, and has only one
scene, he doesn't have much of
an opportunity to prove his
worth.
Then there's Murray's broth
er, the solid citizen who does
everything right and who tries
to help. Robert Alvin does well
in the meager role. .
The applause at the end of
the performance was perfunc
tory, and so was the acknowl
edgment from the cast. Even
the bows and smiles seemed
routine, and w it h o u t real
warmth. It must have been an
off-night. They really do happen
in the theater.
It might be well to remembe;
that most of the productions
brought here by the Broadway
Theater League the past two
seasons have been worth seeing,
and that t h u three remaining
plays should offer more than
this first one. "A Man for All
Seasons" has been generally ac
claimed by both critics and
playgoers as a fine drama, and
"A Funny Thing Happened on
the Way to the Forum" has
been exceptionally well receiv
ed. The season could still be a
good one. O.S.

Senator Accepts
Goldwater Delay
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen.
Norris Cotton, R-N.H., said to
day he had accepted Sen. Bar
ry Goldwater's decision to wait
until January before announc
ing his decision whether to run
for president.
But Cotton, who has urged
Goldwater to declare himself
sooner, said he still thought an
earlier announcement would be
helpful to the Arizona Republi
can in the March 10 New
Hampshire primary.
"He's looking at it from a na
tional viewpoint while I'm look
ing at it from the viewpoint of
a man trying to carry the New
Hampshire primary for him,"
said Cotton. "He makes his own
decisions. That's why I'm for
him."
Cotton is the leader of the
Goldwater-for-presidcnt forces
in New Hampshire although
the Arizona senator has not yet
announced his candidacy for the
Republican nomination.
Announced Entrance
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
New York announced his can
didacy last week and then flew
to New Hampshire to open cam
paign headquarters. He also an
nounced he would enter the New
Hampshire p r e s idential pri
mary, the nation s first.
Since the Rockefeller an
nouncement, Goldwater has re
iterated that he would not make
a decision until Januray about
whether to seek the presiden-
i tial nomination or to run for re
election to the Senate.
Cotton said an earlier Gold
water announcement for the
presidency would be helpful in
a number of ways. For exam'
pie, he said, a Goldwater head
quarters would be established
in New Hampshire in a week
or so but there would be no
candidate to open it as there
was the Rockefeller headquar
ters. Recruiting Difficult
Without an announced candi
date, he said, it also is difficult
to recruit Republicans for
campaign organization or to
line up pro-Goldwater national
convention delegate candidates
to run in the primary.
Although New Hampshire will
have only 14 of the 1,314 GOP
national convention delegates,
supporters of both Rockefeller
and Goldwater regard it as
crucial test. Goldwater is now
rated the favorite to win.
A defeat for Rockefeller would
be an almost fatal blow to his
already weak prospects for win
ning the nomination. Goldwater
backers believe their candidate
could virtually wrap up the
nomination by victory in New
Hampshire. They fear that
Rockefeller may pull up on
Goldwater in that state because
of head start in the campaign.

Litterbugs Cost Taxpayers
$100 Million Each Year
NEW YORK, N. Y. - The
needless expenditure of a hun
dred million tax dollars each
year is making a growing num
ber of U. S. taxpayers hot un
der the collar.
This is the assertion of Fed
eral Highway Adminis t r a t o r
Rex M. Whitton, in estimating
(lie nation's yearly highway
clean-up bills.
Litter in bits, pieces, hand-
fuls, heaps and mounds is
adding up to a mountainous
waste of public funds. "And
why?" irate citizens might ask.
The answer, irom goveri:ir.ent
officials and crusading individu
als, is this: "Simply because
the motoring public seems to
consider the countryside its own
private dumping ground."
A powerful enemy of the
American litterbug. Secretary
of Commerce Luther H. Hodges

Record Timber Cut
Noted in Quarter
A record timber cut in the
Rogue River National Forest has
resulted from the efforts of tim
ber purchasers to remove blow
down timber felled by the 1962
Columbus Day storm, the Med
ford office reported this week,
releasing figures for the quar
ter ending Sept. 30.
During this quarter, 105,760,-
960 board feet of timber valued
at $1,606,502.13 was logged.
The previous high quarter cut
was Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, in 1961,
when 67,883,000 board feet val
ued at $1,399,167 was cut.
Timber purchasers worked
steadily to remove the timber
before deterioration of wood and
beetle infestation occurred, C.

Payments Balance
In Spectacular Dip
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
U.S. balance of payments def
icit showed an almost spectacu
lar decline during the third
quarter of the year, the govern
ment reported today.
The deficit rate fell to an esti
mated annual rate of $1.5 bil
lion $3.7 billion less than
rate for the second quarter,
the
the
Commerce Department said.
The report, covering the pe
riod July through September,
attributed the improvement to
a reduction In the amount ot
capital flowing overseas from
this country.
A deficit occurs in the bal
ance of payments when the
American government, together
with businessmen and tourists,
spends more dollars overseas
than foreigners spend here.
Last year's deficit ran to $2.2
billion.
Thrusfon Morton
Visiting Oregon
PORTLAND (UPI) - Sen.
Thruston B. Morton, R-Ky., is
paying a hurried three-day visit
to this area.
Morton, former GOP national
chairman, is scheduled to speak
at a dinner in Vancouver,
Wash., tonight.
Friday, he speaks at Portland
State College and the University
of Portland before addressing a
$100-dollar-a-plate fund- raising
dinner in here that night.
Morton will speak to the Til

While most . motorists con
sider their cars pretty well
equipped when they have a
clock, an FM radio, fancy seat
covers, an air conditioner, even
a telephone most of them
never think to add one of the
most necessary accessories of
all a simple litterbag for
their "travel trash."
"Why use a litterbag," seems
to be the attitude, "when it's so
easy to roll down the window
and toss things out?"
It's no wonder , a highway
maintenance worker for the
Arizona State Highway Depart
ment recently grumbled, "Some
people drop things like this was
the city dump."
From North Dallas, Texas,
there's this comment: "It's a
puzzling paradox that people
whose houses and lawns are im
maculate, whose cars shine in
side and out, often are the ones
who keep them clean by throw
ing out (their trash) everywhere
hours measuring the truckloads
of logs as they left the forest.
Over 250 truckloads per dav
were measured at the Prospect
log scaling station. The log
scalers measure length and di
ameter of logs and estimate
losses from rot and defect to de
termine the board feet in each
log. This footage is the basis of
stumpage payments to the For
est Service.
The total volume of blowdown
timber sold has reached 133,
175,000 board feet and 35,734,000
remains to be sold this winter.
The .original estimate of blow
down damage was 81,000,000
board feet and it was made from
aerial surveys. Many of the
blowdown trees were not visible
from the air so the estimate was
only 50 per cent correct.
Approx 1 m at e 1 y 103.000.000
board feet of the blowdown tim
ber has been logged. This rep
resents 64 per cent of the esti
mated total and shows good
progress toward keeping down
insect and decay losses. Brown
said. 1 he rapid progress of the
logging and the end of the fire
season will help minimize tim
ber damage and losses from the
storm, ne concluded.

States report their highway
clean-up costs are staggering.
Louisiana's highway director
says they spent $227,000 last
year to pick up trash, with 'the
average cost ranging from $14
a mile to $300 a mile per year
in some busy areas. Maine
spends over $300,000 a year for
