. hospital. A resolution was adopt

1 Bishop Dagwell first was as
sociated with the Medford Com-
1 munity Hospital in 1951 and in
less than a year was elected
1 chairman of the board of direc
tors and continued to serve in
that position until his death in
June this year.
' It was under Bishop Dagwell's
leadership that a campaign was
' Opened in August, 1954, to erect
1 Rogue Valley Memorial Hjspi
1 tal which was dedicated May 1,
' 1958, constructed at the approxi
' mate cost of $3 million.
Within less than two years of
operation further expansion was
needed and again under the
bishop's guidance the construc
tion of a new wing was com
pleted and opened in April, 1962.
Treasurer's Report

ed that a total income was re
' ceived during the year of $1,

was due to completion of the

as many patients as when the

The average length of stay is
5.2 days and the average pa

the total bill increased $10.80

Gustafson said.
More than $3 a day is present

At the present time the State

Senate Committee
Expected to Raise
Legal Debt Limit
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Senate Finance Committee was
expected to vote approval to
day of House-passed legislation
to raise the legal limit of the
national debt from $309 billion
to $315 billion.
But committee Chairman
Harry F. Byrd, D-Va., said he
Would vote against the Treas
u r y Department - requested
measure. "I was against it be
fore, and I'm against it now,"
he said.
Budget Director Kermit M.
Gordon told the committee
Tuesday that even the request
ed $315 billion might be too
low. Under the bill the higher
ceiling would become effective
Nov. 20. If it is not enacted bv
that date present law requires
that the debt limit drop to its
permanent level ni $285 billion.
This could place the Treasury
Department in an embarrass
ing position because, as of one
week ago, its dally statement
showed a debt balance of about
$307 billion. It is unlikely that
tne government s money man
agers could shave $22 billion
off that figure in two weeks
time.
The current request to raise
the temporary ceiling on the
debt limit is the third from the
administration since last May.
Even at that, Treasury Secre
tary Douglas Dillon said it
would be barely enough for the
government to get through the
remainder of the fiscal year.

Russia Weakness
NEW YORK (UPI) - The
national commander of the
American Legion said today
that the United States cannot
sit Idly by while the Soviet
Union Is showing signs of
weakness.
Daniel F. Foley told the AFL-
uu convention that the Rus
sians are trying to "buy time"
while they try to iron out their
internal problems, including ag
ricultural failures.
Foley said recent develop
ments In Russia including
agreement to the limited test
ban treaty, wheat purchase and
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev's contradictory statements
about the moon race indicate
that Russia "presently is in no
position either to continue nu
clear testing or to compete In
a race to the moon."
Buy Time
Russia's actions and pro
nouncements all could be "de
signed with no purer motives
than to buy time for solving in
ternal problems and for re
newed aggression . when the
time is right," he said. "Amer
ica cannot afford to nap while
the Soviet Union administers
oxygen to itself." .
Foley said he favored a sug
gestion made recently by Allen
Dulles, former director of the
Central Intelligence Agency,
that the United States move
forward, confident of superior
power, to a "peaceful confron
tation with communism."
Foley said the confrontation
should be made in the areas of
international ' trade, relations
with newly independent nations
and education.
"I shudder to think of the
possibilities should the Western
world, and America in particu
lar, show any signs of weak
ness, which the Communists be
lieve they could exploit,' and
this is why I say that a healthy
national economy nas signifi
