U. S. Raps Cuba
For Mail Abuse
WASHINGTON (AP) The Unit
ed States demanded today that
the Cuban government stop using
its free mailing privilege to dis
tribute anti-American propaganda
in this country.
Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfield said he had learned
the Cuban central government
has been "misusing" the franking
privilege to mail into this coun
try unsolicited pamphlets, con
tent! of which "are untrue, abu
sive, unsubstantiated, provocative
and hostile to the United States,
and attack the economic policy
and integrity of this government."
He addressed his demand to
Cuban Minister of Communica
tions Raul Curbelo Morales.
His letter noted the Cuban gov
ernment franked mail has been
coming in under the tint-class
privilege, which means it cannot
be opened for inspection by pos
tal authorities. Summerfield said,
however, that his department "be
came aware of the situation" as a
result of complaints made by per
sons receiving the unsolicited ma
terial. A postal union agreement em
braces the American countries
and Spain under which govern
ment mailing recognired as free
under domestic laws would also
be handled free by all members
of this union.

Kelsay. speaking on the "Bus!
ncss Climate," said that Oregon's
tax structure is superior to that
of California and comparable to
that of Washington on a tax basis
when the deficit financing policy
of the latter state is considered.
Washington, however, has more
cheap power.
He stated he will be meeting
with other members of the tax
committee within the next few
weeks to get down to working out
a plan for the next legislature. He
will also be working on a com
mittee named by Gov. Mark Hat

He said Oregon's government
has never been revamped. The
last legislature asked the governor
to submit an over all plan for re
organization to be accepted or re
jected. But the governor has chos
en to submit the changes in a se
ries of bills, with the hopes that
some of the proposed im
provements will get through, with
out a possible rejection of the en
tire proposal. Kelsay said he
thought the legislature will go along
with this plan. Ho said he believed
a cabinet system the more work
able, rather than a government of
the many (102) hoards, but he did
not believe the voters would ap
prove such a radical change.
lie recalled that the 19jY legis
lature raised the income tax rate
but repealed the surtax. He pre
dicts a defeat in November by the
voters of a new tax bill referred by
the legislature, because the state
at this lime does not need the mon
ey. There is still a surplus from
the 1957 legislature bill.
Timber Tax
Kelsay predicts adoption of a tim
ber lax measure which will be ac
ceptable to both industry end
people. He said it will not go as
far as the Weyerhaeuser Timber
Co. advocates, but will give sonic
relief to the limber owners.
The last egislatuie provided for
accelerated depreciation and loss
carryover as an inducement to new
business using risk capital. A real

Hall attended Roseburg High un
til 1951, when he quit. He has
said his parents left Winchester
in 1957, but added he returned to
this area several times after that.
He has a record of three arrests
in Douglas County in 1958.
Gooding Sheriff Keith Anderson
said Hall and Emmett Spencer, a
Sandy Hook, Ky., barge worker,
have admitted waylaying Hunt, but
deny firing the shots that killed
him. Also accused in the com
plaint of participating in the slay
ing is Mary Catherine, Hampton,
18. of Sandy Hook.
Hall last week told California
and Idaho law enforcement offi
cials he was with Spencer when
they waylaid Hunt, but said it
was Spencer who did the shooting.
Hall said when he asked Spen
cer "what the heck" he was doing
the man replied, "Shut up or I'll
shoot you too."
Spencer is in custody in Key
West, Fla. in connection with an
other slaying.
Hunt, the son of a Bellingham,
Wash, minister, was found shot
to death in his auto in the south
ern Idaho desert. His death was
one of four killings in the area
last summer.
Sheriff Anderson said he was
convinced Spencer was not involv
ed in the other unsolved Idaho
murders. He questioned Spencer
at Key West last week. Spencer
told authorities he "dreamed" of
being involved in the Idaho slay
ing. He implicated the Hall youth.
Like Hall, Spencer denied firing
the fatal shots.
Antarctic Plan
Eyed By Senate
WASHINGTON (AP)-A U.S.
sponsored treaty for international
development of the antarctic con
tinent was tied up today in a Sen
ate debate over whether it would
create a possible new (hreat from
(he Soviet Union.
Sen. Clair Engle (D-Calif)
argued that it would, and said he
will move for a vote to put off
action until a new administration
can look it over next year.
But Sen. Gale W. McGeo (D
Wyo) noted that the Soviets are
already in Antarctica and chal
lenged the critics of the treaty to
say whether they would vote to
"eject them by force."
Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga).

Services CommiUee, was prepared
(o carry on (he floor fight against
ratification of (he (rcaty signed

Union and 10 other nations.
Russell has contended (he treaty
"ties the hands of the United
States" and could mean signing
away to the Soviet Union and Red
China of rights he said they
couldn't otherwise claim "in any
shape or manner."
The treaty was the first official
item of business to come before
the reconvened Senate session.
President Eisenhower Monday re

light. George Livingston, barbecue

Trapped Prisoners
Saved From Blaze
SIOUX FALLS, S. D. (AP)
Guards and firemen rescued
scores of prisoners trapped by
flames Monday in a barricaded
penitentiary work building. Dis
gruntled inmates had set off the
fire.
Four guards were .overcome by
smoke and two convicts were in
jured in leaps from a second
story window. Eight other pris
oners who jumped were unhurt.
Six(y-five inmates were working
in (he bookbinding and furniture
repair shops at the time 'he fires
were set off by about 15 convict
malcontents, Warden G. Norton
Jameson said. He wasn't sure
what caused the disturbance, he
said.
that when action is necessary it
will be taken.
"Our opponents should take
warning that the American gov
ernment and people can move
with speed, force and unity during
this period just as at any other
time."
At his news conference, Herter
also said:
1. The United States cannot in
definitely continue a suspension of
nuclear weapons tests while Brit-ish-U.
S. negotiations with the
Soviet Union for an inspected test
system drag out at Geneva. Her
ter would not say, however, what
deadline might be set.
2. The administration is consid
ering asking Congress for author
ity to show the Soviets certain
kinds of equipment for setting off
atomic explosives in order to get
an agreement with them to con
duct a series of joint underground
tes(s (o perfect inspection equip
ment. No decision has been made.
3. The United States has filed
a new protest with the Castro gov
ernment of Cuba against seizures
of U.S. property on the ground
that the seizures were arbitrary
and failed to provide for adequate
compensation. Such protests es
tablish a record against the time
when the Cuban people themselves
as Herter put it take care of
the situation.
4. At the inter-American foreign
ministers meeting in Costa Rica
next week, the United States
hopes all American nations will
fully discuss what action, if any,
should be taken on the central
question raised by the Cuban is
suethe question of intervention
by a foreign power in the affairs
of the Western Hemisphere. The
United States has accused Cuba
of becoming increasingly tied to
communism.
5. The West Germans should
decide for themselves about hav
ing a parliamentary meeting in
West Berlin later this year in the
face of Soviet threats to sign a
separate peace treaty with East
Germany. Herter said the United
States believes this is strictly a
matter for the Germans them
selves to decide.
Herter declined to discuss in
any detail the two latest news de
velopments of the day the revolu
tion reported in Laos and the sit
uation in the Congo.

Kennedy Pushes
Picketing Bill
WASHINGTON (API-Sen. John
F. Kennedy (D-Mass) steered a
hotly contested picketing bill to
swui approval Dy a senate sun
committee todav after a brief
brush with Sen. Barry Goldwatcr
in-Anz).
Goldwater objected, on the
ground there was no quorum, to
Kennedy's calling the Labor sub
committee into session. But Gold
water, an opponent of the bill,
stayed out of the hearing room
where his presence would have
made a quorum.
Kennedy. Democratic presiden
tial nominee and chairman of the
subcommittee, promised organized
labor last year that he would push
for legislation relaxing restrictions
against picketing of construction
projects.
The legislation would overcome
a 1952 Supreme Court ruling ban
ning picketing of construction
projects where more than one con
tractor is involved.
The court ruled that such picket
ing came under the Taft-Hartley
Act prohibition of secondary boy
colts. A secondary boycott ordin
arily is defined as pressure by a
union against a neutral concern to
try to keep it from doing business
with an employer involved in a
dispute with the union.
The bill now goes to the full
Labor Committee, which may con
sider it this week. Sen. Lyndon B.
Johnson of Texas, Senate Demo
cratic leader and Kennedy's run
ning mate, has given it high prior
ity for consideration in the Senate.
Boaz Pleads Guilty
Jimmie Allen Boaz, 21, of 652

a plea of guilty to a charge ot
driving with a suspended opera
tor's license when arraigned in

burg city police Saturday. Boai
