Rocky Rips
Into Kennedy
ACCORD, N.Y. (UPI) Gov.
Nelson A. 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.

Federal Aid
WASHINGTON IUPI) Sen.
Karl E. Mundl savs watching the
girls go by may be fun for the
boys, but that doesn't qualify it
for a government grant.
Mundt said the government has
outdone itself in "how to spend
money without even trying" by
indexing in a government educa
tion publication a volume called
the "Official Girlwatcher's Man
ual." " .
Mundt said the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,
signed a $21,850 contract for the
814 page book, "A Guide to Pro
grammed Instructional Materials
Available to the Educator by Sep
tember, 1963."
Mundt said the Hew publication
is a compilation of Library ot
Congress index cards on materi
als available for would-be users
of teaching machines.
At Mundt's request the Congres
sional Record published the vol
ume s data on the Official Girl-
watchers Manual," said to be
published by Grafieroll Systems,
Inc., La Mesa, Cal. listed as pre
requisite notebook.
Based on the July 1 forecast,

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.
