Rockefeller, sounding more and more like a presiden tial campaigner, Monday night launched his strongest attack against the Kennedy administra tion. Speaking at a Republican meet ing in this tiny Hudson Valley community. Rockefeller charged that the administration had "sub merged principles to political ex pediency and opportunism." The result, he said, was that our NATO alliance is weakened." "Most dangerous of all," Rocke feller said, "the will to resist communism has been eroded everywhere by our attitude to ward the Soviet nation and our dealings with Communist leaders without consultation with our al lied partners." Rockefeller, who has said he would formally disclose his polit ical plans before the end of the year, also criticized the Kennedy administration for what he called its failure to achieve a predicted growth rale of live per cent and and a four per cent unemploy ment figure. The New York governor said the growth rate was 3.2 per cent and unemployment was 5.5 per cent. CURTISS GRUYE Maj.

Tuesday, September 17, 1963 PAGE 3 HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon 111- GIFT FOR CHURCHILL Displaying his recently com pleted paintinq of Jerome, Ariz., Capt. Ben F. Ferguson (U.S. Army, Ret. I points to the sign which designates the town as a ghost city. A long-time admirer of Sir Winston Churchill, Capt, Ferguson constructed the paint ing as a gift for England's prominent statesman, Jerome was named for Sir Winston's American grandfather, Leonard Jerome. Award Photos Displayed WEED A portfolio of prizc- winning photographs by College of the Siskiyous student, Pete Little, is on display in the college library. Officials said the display is the first in a planned series of exhibits by sludents and other local artists. One photograph in Little's dis play won a special award in the Churchill To Receive Painting From Artist-Admirer In I(F 1961 Kodak high school photo con test and also was featured on the cover of Practical English, a national scholastic magazine. Also displayed are nine photos that won prizes in Redwood Empire Camera Club judging. A painting of Jerome, Ariz., by Capt. Ben F. Ferguson (U.S. Army, Ret.) will soon be on Its ay from Klamath Falls to the home of Sir Winston Churchill in London. Plans for such a painting were actually conceived when Captain Ferguson, a veteran of Pearl Har bor and the campaigns of Guadal canal and New Georgia, was an out-patient at the Luke and Wil liams Air Force base hospitals in the Phoenix area earlier this year. -His interest in England's elder statesman began as achild, and after following Sir Winston's ca- eer from war hero to prime minister and reading nearly all of his books, it was only natural that Captain Ferguson would vis it the town ot Jerome. Jerome named for the American financier, Leonard Jerome, Sir Winston's grandfather. Captain Ferguson spent much of his spare time in the town, studying its history and construct ing his oil interpretation as a gift for its namesake's prominent de scendant. He discovered the area was known to have been rich in cop per for hundreds of years, but it was Leonard Jerome wno nad the initiative and money to start the mines booming. However, with Jerome's backing came the stipulation that the town be named for him. The mines themselves were unique because they yielded enough gold and silver, smelted as by-products, to pay for the complete cost of mining the cop per ore. As a result, the copper was pure profit and Jerome made millions, according to Captain Ferguson. The mines were worked by another company un til 10 years ago, when the mar ket for copper dropped and the costs of mining increased. Captain Ferguson noted that the once booming Jerome now calls itself a ghost city although it boasts a population of approx imately 200 with a city govern ment. Today the town is primar ily concerned with tourist trade and artists interested in its scenic attractions and historic back ground, he added. The painting of Jerome is not the first Captain Ferguson has made for Sir Winston to acquaint him with the holdings of his pros perous American side of the fam ily. In 1959, the artist sent to London a picture of the Jerome spread of eastern Montana. showing it as it was in the late 1880s. He stated that he has painted all of his life, perhaps inheriting the talent from his father, Thom as F. Ferguson, who is a retired painter and master decorator, living in Montrose, Calif. Working in all media, Captain Ferguson 1ms paintings in several museums including those in Mi shima, Japan; Papeete, Tahiti; and Hailey, Idaho. The 11 paint ings in the Hailey museum de pict the Nez Perce War of 1877 and represent 25 years of research by the artist. He said he also has works in the private collections of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Princess Margaret, and Washing ton Place, the Honolulu home of Hawaii's governor. Moving to Klamath Falls and the Mountain View Trailer Court several weeks ago, Captain Fer guson's immediate plans are'td make his home here and con' tinue his painting. He was recent-' ly married to the former Hazel Vivian Walton of Medford, who is employed by a local concern. I'D SURE LIKE TO CUT THE COST OF MY CAR INSURANCE Yes . . .
