Johnson Signs Debt Ceiling WASHINGTON (UPI)-Prcsl-dent Johnson today signed a bill to extend the temporary debt limit to $315 billion. It was the first legislation signed into law by the new President.

Protest To the Editor: This letter has gone to Andrew Juras, Adminis trator, Oregon State Public Wel fare Commission, Salem, Ore gon. Dear Sir: The Jackson County Pharmaceutical A s s o c 1 ation wishes to bring to your attention the following as concerns the recent action in pro-rating the cost of formulary prescriptions to welfare recipients. . , The idea of economy in the use of taxpayers' money is very commendable and is highly ap proved by this body. However the action as taken in this case appears to be pointed only to wards medical requirements. We are critical of this action for the following reasons: 1. Why Is pro - rating only directed towards medical needs and not spread over the full spectrum of costs of operation? 2. The formulary prescriptions costs as set up by the Oregon State Welfare Board are mini mal at best, and contrary to in formation advanced in the press is not calculated at cost of drugs plus 50 per cent plus a professional fee of 85c. This is borne out by prescription costs in the State Welfare pricing chart starting at 85c, 90c, 95c, $1.00, $1.10,.and hence allows for no pro-rating without a loss by the individual operator who then is called on to subsidize the welfare program. 3. We are reliably informed that the Jackson County budget for formulary prescriptions is set at less than $1500 per month. Further that the overage during the pro-rating period for this county amounted to approxi mately 6 per cent. Why then must this county and those co operating under this welfare program be penalized up to 35 per cent and what happens to the surplus funds during the months that this county has not exceeded the budget? 4. It is our feeling that since we are operating under mini mum set fees that this price should bo guaranteed as we have no control ovor the number of welfare recipients, the num ber of prescriptions written or the amount and type of medica tions used. Hence we protest the pro rating of all payments under the fee schedule as established by the Welfare Commission. We do not feel the welfare recipient should be penalized by inade quate budgeting which could re sult in a discontinuance of medi cal services. The Jackson County Pharmaceutical Association W. L.

Sorry this can't end here, but some ol'sters put me to shame, and I know Central Point resi dents were also ashamed. In the hall on Main Street in that town Saturday evening, Nov. 23, some ol'sters all belonging to a club in Medford that every Wednes day stand up and pledge alle giance to the flag, and with gusto sing "God bless America," were whooping it up at a dance. To add to their disgraceful dis play they had the door open, the music (If you could call it that) blaring to something like .She II Be Comin 'Round the Mountain," made me sick. I was so heart-broken anyway. uur president dead and those old people acting as though it was New Year's eve. Regardless of politics, respect was due this man. A club of that sort should have been the first to show the most respect. I and many of my friends have been to this club, but not in my wildest dreams could I have thought them so disrespect ful of this great leader of ours. Foreign countries bowed their heads in reverence to his mem ory. Our good club members whoop it up at a dance while he lay in state, his young widow and children in mourning. I hope they had fun. Mrs. Ruby G. Tungate 2410 Howard Ave. Medford. False Witness To the Editor: I would like to see you editorialize with the fol lowing theme because I feel as strongly as Chief Justice Earl Warren when he summed the cause of the terrible tragedy inov. a Dy saying: "The poison ous hatred that has been in jected into the thinking of peo ple by bigots, is responsible for the death of President Ken nedy." lo disagree is Amer can it's healthy; but to persist with ma licious, false, derogatory innu endoes on the level that has pre vailed the past three years, is against everything that is patri otic! Bigotry is the most base kind of psychic cancer, and like physical cancer, leaves the per son totally unaware of its pres sence until the terminal stage which is, of course, too late. Let ters have been printed which have left me aghast. Officials at the Whito House have been deeply concerned over the vol ume of derogatory mail re ceived for the President. Base less, hateful accusations, word of mouth implications; all these imngs poison and grow until one man pulls a trigger. But who has helped aim the gun? i am truly asnamcd for my country. I only hope and pray mat wis terrible deed wil im press on all people the wisdom oi loci wnen he gave us a moral code. There are ten, but the eighth one is: Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor! Ken Corliss 15S4 Myers Lane Medford Thankscivina To the Editor: Thanksgiving so close at hand, It seems fit ting to write a few lines on the subject. Allow me to preface by the remark that as one who embraces the Drivllece of writ ing in the Communications of our daily, I scarce ever take my pen in hand to thus write wllhout feeling a sense of grati tude to the editor, and to the paper for the privileges afford ed its renders to write public letters to the editor and other readers. . j 2 This morning in private de votions I ran across the follow ing quote from a fine writer of the past on the subject of thanksgiving, and trust all read ers may receive as much from it as was mine to experience. "Our whole life should speak forth our thankfulness; every condition and place we are in should be a witness of our thank fulness; this will make the time and places we live in the better for us. When we ourselves are monuments of God's mercy, it is lit we snould be patterns of wis praises, and leave monu ments to others. "We should think life is given to us for us to do something better than to live in; we live not to live; our life is not tho end of itself, but the praise of tne uiver. God hath joined His glory and our happiness to gether: it is fit that we should refer all that is good to His glory, who hath joined His glory to our Dest good in being glori fied in our salvation (Psalm 50. 14, 116. 17). Praise is a just ana aue tribute for all God s blessings; for what else do the best favors of God especially call for at our hands? How do all creatures praise God but by our mouths? It is a debt alwavs owing, and always paying; and the more we pay the more we snau owe: upon the due dis charge of this debt, - the soul will find much peace. "A thankful heart to God for His blessings is the greatest blessing of all. Were it not for a few gra cious souls, what honor would God have from the rest of the unthankful world? Which should stir us up the more to be trumpets of God's praises in the midst of His enemies; be cause this, in some sort, hath a prerogative above our prais ing uod in neaven: for there God hath no enemies to dis honor Him." Author: R. Sibbes, In Biblical Museum. A real good thanksgiving to every reader. H. R. Bulman Route 4, Box ti. Medford Medford Disapproves Methods To the Editor: I wish to make it known that I have resigned as a member of the Citizens Advisory Committee for School District 549C. While I believe in educational advantages being made avail able to the children of this Dist rict, I cannot, in good con science, accept the methods by which the Citizens Committees are reaching their conclusions. I have therefore asked that my name be removed from the membership list. Rita B. Shogren 1705 S. Columbus Ave. Medford. Weep Kor Yourselves To the Editor: We have buried our president. The leering, sneering, sick humor is stilled. The coup de grace has been administered and the haters and liars are looking for a now vic tim. We cowards arc now com ing forward to say what we already knew, "Ho wns a sin cere, patriotic and good man." Let's hope we haven't buried with him the true in'ernreta- lion and just enforcement of our nation's constitution. For if we have, we would do well to re call the warning of another in nocent Martyr, who was also murdered on a Friday: "Weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children." Margarete Roseborough 810 Oakdale Dr. Medford Tribute To the Editor: John F. Ken nedy was the kind of man you would want to protect your Kennedy Family Making Plans for Holiday Reunion Entire Clan Will Be Present HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (UPI) The grief-stricken Ken nedy family today made plans for its saddest Thanksgiving re union. Within the last four months death has struck twice. First the newborn son of the Presi dent and Mrs. Jacqueline Ken nedy died shortly after birth. Last Friday the President, vic tim of an assassin's bullet, joined his son in death. The President's widow was expected to fly here Thursday with her two children aboard the family plane, the Caroline. Little John John turned three on Monday, the day his father was buried in Arlington Nation al Cemetery. Caroline was six today. All 11 adults and 20 children of the mourning family were expected to be present. At the head of the table will be for mer Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy. The 75-year-old head of the clan has been paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair since a stroke in December, 1961. He says clearly only one word "no." Laughter To Be Absent ' It will mark the first time Jacqueline and Atty. Gen. Rob ert F. Kennedy will have seen the former ambassador since the President's assassination. The attorney general's wife, Ethel, Sen. and Mrs. Edward Kennedy, Sargent Shriver and his wife, Eunice, Stephen and Jean Smith and the Peter Law- fords also will be present. Laughter and joy usual in gredients of any Kennedy clan meeting will be absent. So will the traditional touch football game. Otherwise the Thanksgiving observance was expected to fol low the traditional pattern. The children will have their dinner in the afternoon at Robert Ken nedy's home. The adults will eat in the evening at Joseph Ken nedy's house. government, and if you were lucky enough to get to really know him as a friend instead of just a president, you would realize I'm sure what a great man he really was. And this is now how the Deoole of the Unit ed States feel, even if we didn't get to know him as well as tne people he loved did. Mr. Kennedy's smile was one that brought a great deal ot warmth and admiration, that no one man could receive more of. Then came the day in Novem ber of 1963, 22nd day of the month, on which we lost the great man, President Kennedy, for a foolish shot was fired by one man. The firing of this shot was heard all over tho world and that the people felt with deep sorrow. John r . Kennedy s name win go down in history not as the man that was shot to death, but as the man who tried to make a wish come true, and as a man that died serving his coun try the best way he could. There's not anything that any one could write or even say that would give this man the credit due to him and to the family survivors. Tho only thing the American people and people all over the world can do now is pray that the new President will be able to carry on his shoulders the responsibility that John F. Ken nedy died trying to do, and that he will carry on with all the other members ot tne govern ment the last wishes and the final wishes of the late Presi dent, to have peace not only to this nation but in .all the nations all over the world. Let's hope his great speech will be remembered in the hearts of the people: "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country." May God be with you, John F. Kennedy, as you rest in peace. And, you, Mrs. Jackie Kennedy, with all the deepest sympathy, and to you President Lyndon B. Johnson. Sherrie Kecne (MHS student) 528 Fairmounnt Medford Foolishness To the Editor: In reference to the Nov. 18 editorial in M. T. concerning the expense involved in the investigation and elimina tion of wasteful and unnecessary spending in education in this state, I think most of us would feel our money was being much more wisely spent to do this than to give a lot more than this in increased and unnecded taxes. On Oct. 15 the majority voted and asked our representatives to cut out the foolish and wild spending that has been going on. They can do no more than this if they are to honestly represent the best interests of the majority of the people of this state, and if they want to remain our repre sentatives in the future. So to Medford European Criticism LONDON (UPI) - Newspa pers in Western and Commun ist Europe today kept up their criticism of the Dallas police for their handling of the slay ns of President Kennedy and his accused assassin, Lee H. Oswald. There was renewed specula tion on both sides of the Iron Curtain that the President's death, and possibly Oswald's, was the result of a plot. Moscow Radio blamed Kenne dy's assassination directly on ultra-conservatives in the Unit ed States. The Soviet govern ment newspaper Izvestia said the "American system" shared the blame. Martin Sands Is Honored at Event Upon Retirement Martin E. Sands, who retired last month as vice president and division manager of the Cali fornia Pacific Utilities Com pany after 33 years service with the firm, was honored recent ly at a retirement dinner at Rogue Valley Country Club. E. K. Albert, San Francisco, president of California Pacific Utilities, was speaker of the evening, addressing the 140 guests from various points in California and Oregon. Albert also presented Sands with a retiring plaque to com memorate his years of service and a bound volume of con gratulatory letters from the of ficers of the company, district managers and friends. Murray S. Gardiner, Medford district manager, was toastmas ter and presented Sands with gifts from his fellow employes. District Represented Operating districts of the com pany at Klamath Falls, Rose burg, Myrtle Creek, Grants Pass, Medford, Ashland, Yre ka and Dunsmuir were repre sented by employes and their families. Special guests were L. E. Cooper, vice president and chief engineer, W. E. Hammer, sec retary, both of San Francisco, and Mrs. Hammer, who is Mr. Sands' sister. Medford guests introduced to the gathering were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Van Dyke, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Miller and Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Newman. Van Dyke is attorney for the company and Wilson, Miller and New man are former employes. Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Andres also were given recognition. An dres was formerly district man ager at Ashland. Musical Program The musical program for the dinner was presented by Karen Paschke and Mrs. Margaret Brown. Sands began his career with the California - Pacific Utilities Company as an auditor in San Francisco in 1930 and was elect ed secretary of the firm later that year. He was elected to tne board of directors in 1938 and in January, 1939, was named vice president and division man ager with headquarters in Med ford. Mr. and Mrs. Sands have made their home at 301 South Groveland Ave., Medford, for the past 25 years. ridicule them is unwarranted and unfair and whether they do or do not investigate and reduce expenditures. This will not stem the rising tide of resentment against more taxes which is na tionwide at this time. Most of us are full up to here with being fleeced for every penny they can get. As for this scare that to re duce expenses would drive our best teachers out and reduce ed ucation to mediocrity is non sense. It would in fact eliminate only the ones whose interests were in the money they can get rather than the services they can render. These are not the best teachers and we would be better off without them as we already know our teachers are well paid, in fact one of the highest paid professions there is at this time. So let's come off this foolish ness. If the expenditures of edu cation are aboveboard and hon est then they should not fear an investigation, if they are not, the people have a right to know about it. Senator Pearson ex presses the opinions of a lot of folk so three cheers to men like him and it is too bad we don't have more like him. Mrs. C. T. Poole White City, Ore. MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1963 Newspapers Continue of Double A Portuguese newspaper, Di- ario de Lisboa, said the climate for murder was generated by American gangster movies. French and Italian newspapers speculated that Oswald had an accomplice. Warns of Civil War London's Daily Sketch warned that Kennedy's slaying could touch off another American Civ il War "a disaster of unparal leled magnitude for the West. The Paris newspaper Libera tion accused the Dallas police of withholding information. It gave this version of the events in Dallas: "There is no doubt President Kennedy fell into a trap. He was the victim of a plot, and . . . it is evident that the Dallas police, protectors of gangsters like Ruby, played a role you can only describe as questiona ble. They created a 'defendant' then allowed one of their stool pigeons to kill him." The newspaper gave no source for its information.

The Daily Sketch said Oswald was told on his trip to Mexico two months ago that the United States planned to kill his hero, Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. "Was this the moment when the murder of the President was planned?" it asked. The West German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine blamed the killings on "one incredible blunder" after another an "ac cumulation of failures."

Anderson, 35, a hard-drinking Korean War vet eran, sat in a crowded court room Tuesday and quietly told how he beat, bludgeoned and stabbed to death heiress Carol Thompson, 34. "Oh, God help you!" sobbed dimple-cheeked criminal attor ney T. Eugene Thompson Carol s husband and himself charged with master-minding the slaying when Anderson told how he broke off a paring knife in the woman's throat and left her dying. In a slow, careful voice. An derson recounted the events of last March 6, that bitter - cold day when Carol Thompson stag gered bleeding and unrecogniza ble from her home only to die in a hospital hours later. He said he woke up at 5 a.m., put on his slippers and "went directly to the refrigerator and mixed a double shot of vodka." He drank it and then drank an other. He walked to the bathroom, where he shaved, put on a white shirt, clean suit and ad justed his tie. Another double shot of vodka and a couple of benzedrine pills and he was ready. On his way out, he put on a hat borrowed he said from Norman J. Mastrian, an ex prizefighter who has been named as the middleman in the slaying the man with the $3,000 payoff. Anderson said he arrived at the Thompson's fashionable home at 5:30 a.m., ducked in an open door and waited patient ly in the darkened basement while Carol Thompson got her four children off to school. When the children were gone, and Carol was back in bed reading a magazine, Anderson said he crept upstairs and into her room. As Anderson told of the kill ing Thompson began to shudder. His jaw quivered convulsively, his shoulders shook. "Oh, God help you," he cried, stared at Anderson and collapsed sobbing on a table. Thompson regained his com posure after a recess, but his face was ashen. The state says he masterminded the plot to collect the more than $1 million insurance he had taken out on Carol's life and to take up with his paramour.

Carolyn did not attend grave- Various Members Of Kennedy Crew Will Be Replaced WASHINGTON (UPI) - The vanguard of President John son's staff has moved into the White House and more will fol low, working with and ultimate ly replacing various members of the Kennedy crew. One of Johnson's first acts upon being thrust into the pres idency by the assassination of President Kennedy was to ask his predecessor's staff to stay on. But as vice president, John son had a staff of his own hardly as large as Kennedy's but sizable' in its own right. Like Johnson, most of them are Texans. No Job Hunting Just- as many of Kennedy's staff members were held to him by close personal tics and will not want to stay with their leader gone, Johnson's own loyal employes will not have to go job hunting. On higher policy levels, John son undoubtedly will want with him the aides he has known and trusted for years. Several already are at work in tho White House, coordinating thn new President's desires witM the departed Chief Executive's) personnel. These include: William Moyers, not quite 30, who is deputy director of the Peace Corps but is acting as a key liaison man at the White House between Johnson and the Kennedy staff. Moyers is a Fort Worth man who at tended North Texas State Col lege and worked for the John son radio station in Austin. Johnson holds him in the high est regard.

She died 5 hours after the accident at a Portland hospital- side ceremonies for her father Monday.
