Employment reached an all time high of 734.100 last August, and Oregon ranked above the na tional average in personal income for the first time since 1953, he said. During 1960, he said, Oregon got 93 new manufacturing plants and plant expansions, creating a.iou new jobs. It is still speculative as to what industries might use the state's space age industrial park on the Columbia River at Boardman, he said.

Savings Emphasiiad Hatfield expressed appreciation for bipartisan support of his pro posals to reorganize the state gov ernment, adding: "Departments have been created through the years without a realistic appreci ation of the need for coordina tion." These proposals, designed to give the governor more control over slate agencies, also have run into opposition. Hatlield said his $359 million general fund budget was drafted with "the best possible measur ing sticks," and he urged law makers to conline their spending to available revenues. Better administration has saved $200,000 in the Tax Commission, $325,000 in the military depart in cut, and smaller amounts in other agencies, he said, adding that the savings were made with no sacrifice in service. Migrant farm labor still poses a serious problem, he said.

Kennedy packed a tight schedule ot con ferences on politics, national and international affairs into a brief visit to Washington today. A new subsidy program to en courage building ot housing for low-income families and a scries of more conventional measures dc signed to stimulate home building and urban improvements were proposed today in a report to the president-elect. His task force on housing and urban development suggested flexible subsidy program intended to encouraee as much private en terprise as possible in the building of low-cost housing. Other proposals included $.i00 million annually for college hous ing loans, $650 million annually for four years for urban renewal, slum clearance and related pro grams, $750 million over four years for community facility grants, $510 million over four years for farm housing. The re port also recommended planning grants to help urban areas map their mass transit and suburban development programs. the task torce recommended an other innovation which Kennedy has indicated he favors a cabinet for housing and urban develop ment. Kennedy and Dean Rusk met amid reports that Kennedy is think ing about sending W. Avercll Har- nman, whom he has designated to be a special ambassador-at-large, to see Soviet Premier Nikila S. Khrushchev. The purpose would be to find what Khrushchev had in mind when he called for Improv ing Soviet-American relations.

Another Overture Floated Meanwhile By Asking U S Reconciliation By ROBERT EERREI.LEZ HAVANA (AP) The Cuban Defense Ministry, with forces deployed against the claimed today two Itijr airdrops of U.S. arms intended for counterrevolutionaries have been intercepted in separate areas of Cuba. A formal press announcement said the arms were drop ped by planes "cominp; from the north" and were packed in the original crates of U.S. arms factories. Word of the seizures came as Fidel Castro's regime took new domestic and diplomatic action- cracking down on Cubans trying lo flee and sounding another over lure for U.S. reconciliation once President-elect John F. Kennedy is in oft ice. Militiamen under Capt. Manuel Borjas seized one arms airdrop in Pinar del Rio Province, less than 50 miles west of Havana, the an nouncement said. Castro forces allegedly intercepted another batch in the fringes of the Esoain bray Mountains in Las Villas Province, the central Cuban scone of insurgent activity for months. The seizures represent the loss of thousands of dollars worth of arms to opposition forces, if the government claim is correct. Moscow Horns In El Mttndo headlined: "Yankee planes drop arms in Escambray and Pinar del Rio." The government-controlled, newspaper called the incidents "new examples of aggression against Cuba." El Mundo also carried on its front page a Cuban news agency dispatch from Moscow in which Tass. the Soviet news agency, called U.S. maintenance of ils na val base' at Guanlanaino Bay "weak, illogical and ridiculous." The story said Tass claimed the United States had no right to try lo maintain a foreign base in a country with which it "did not consider it necessary to have dip lomatic or consular relations." Radio Havana, also controlled by the government, said govern ment agents seized six terrorists and a small bomb-making plant in downtown Havana today. The Skin Divers Seek Body Of Police Commissioner MINE OLA, N.Y. (AP) Skin divers searched today "in' the murky backwaters of Jones Beach for clues in the disappear ance Friday of Nassau County Po lice Commissioner John Beck inii nn. 6.1. Also taking part in a sweeping check of the vicinity were 100 pu- licc, using boats and planes. beckmann was last seen I'nday when he drove through a toll gate not far from the scene of the search. His car was found shortly after 8:1)0 a.m., parked on a bridge near Jones Beach, on Long Island's southern shore. In the glove com partment were his wallet and his nickel-plated .32 caliber revolver, which he habitually carried with him. Some 100 members of the Nas sau County torce, which lieeK- mann headed for 17 years, sought his body in the waters of Sloop Channel. The channel is swept by tides and swift currents, and it was feared Beckmann s body may have been carried out to sea. Beckmann, a husky, graying man, was described by friends as normally placid until about two months ago, when he exhibited signs of nervousness. He was known to be worried about his wife, who suffered a heart condi tion, and he had recently lost weight.

The government froze issuance of new exit permits for all Cuban anu foreign residents but said tourists will not be affected. American residents leaving will not require new permits to leao unless they intend to return. Attitude Softens The pitch to Kennedy was made by Ernesto (Che) Guevara, preai architect of Castro's revolutionary economic policies. At the same time, Guevara ad milted in a three-hour television speech Friday night that Cuba swapped its 1060-Gl sugar crop lo the Communist bloc for poUitcul considerations. He. did not say what the political considerations were. In carrying the Castro recime's wooing of Kennedy further, Gue vara emphasized that Kennedy said Wednesday he would not as sume responsibility for the break- off of diplomatic relations until ho look office Jan. 20. Blama Put On Ik This, Guevara said, is "impor tant (in that it) injects a note of uncertainty on the issue. This means Eisenhower is responsible for all and that there are certain differences.' a, "The United Stales should .lever feel small in discussing (recon ciliation) wilh us," he said. "Ve always are willing but on terms of respect for Cuba's sovereign ly." But Guevara also referred In Kennedy's presidential campaign statement that the United Stales should encourage anti-Castro forces. "We cannot say Kennedy has changed," he said. "We must be watchful." Reasonable Sale Offered He said Cuba is willing to sell the United States 3 million tuns of sugar at "reasonable" U. S. market price. Cuba then would buy U. S. products in exactly the same amount paid for the sugar. Before President Eisenhower closed U.S. markets lo Cuban sugar, the Cubans were pai a price higher than the prevailing wnria price as a lorm 01 economic aid.
