ROUGH ROAD AHEAD
By Charles V. Stanton
'. The utate trovernment reorganization plan submitted
by Gov. Mark Hatfield to the Oregon Letrialature i des
tined to arouse considerable opposition. This fact was
very evident at a meeting of the Oregon Wildlife Federa
tion in Corvallis last weekend.
Dan Allen, who heads the governor's committee on
Natural Resources, attended the convention as Hatfield's
personal representative and "cornered" a number of per
sons to promote the reorganization plan. Allen is a mem
ber of the federation, is past state president of the Ore
gon Department of the Izaak Walton League, and has long
been connected with the organized conservation program.
' The plan, in detail, was presented to the convention as
a' part of its program by Freeman Holmer, director of the
Slate Derjartment of Finance and Administration. His was
k most complete explanation of the patterns offered by the
srovernor. He answered specific questions.
i It is quite apparent that the reorganization program
hae its supporters but it also has much opposition.
: Some of the opposition concerns the proposed merger
of the Game Commission and the Fish Commission and
the creation of a department of Natural Resources to con
solidate a number of agencies. .
Politics Fured
! Standing in opposition to the plan to consolidate the
two commissions M'e now have managing game and fish
is the suspicion existing between sports and commercial
fishermen for the last fifty years. While the sports group
fears that consolidation mieht tret management into the
hands of the commercial interests, the latter, according to
press releases, are just as concerned lest the sportsmen
get things in their hands and crowd commercial fishing
out.
There also was much evidence of the fear of politics.
It was felt that reorganization would permit the operation
of the spoils system, at least at the top level. Administra
tive procedure would change with each election of a gov
ernor. ' , '
The expression was heard that, if this situation is per
mitted, Oregon will be losing a lot of good men. Some of
those who now head departments, and who would become
subject to political control, will be looking for other loca
tions, it was predicted. Furthermore, according to those
holding this idea, Oregon won't be able to get good men
if those men know that their tenure of office will depend
upon the whims of governors chosen every four years.
On the other hand, the thought was expressed that no
administration can expect to do a good job unless it has
some measure of control over the existing agencies and
policy-making heads. t .
Brace youraelf!
There's something new in the
news.
The luxury 20,900-ton Caribbean
cruise liner Santa Maria, flying
the flag of Portugal, with 600 sun
seeking passengers aboard was
SEIZKP BY P1UATES somewhere
in the Caribbean sea.
Some SO to 100 men were in
volved in the piracy. Armed with
tommy-guns, grenades and pistols
(there are no reports of cutlasses
carried in their teeth) they rushed
the Santa Maria's briage, killed
one officer, wounded another and
took the captain prisoner. How
the pirates got on board has not
yet been told. The passengers
were terrified, but apparently none
of them were hurt. '.
A later radio broadcast from the
Santa Maria says the passengers
will be put anor saiely al me
first port willing to guarantee that
the seized snip won l be interned.

waters (that is, on the high seas)
Two U. S. destroyers and a Brit
ish frigate are searching the seas.
The U. S. cans are under orders
to search the Santa Maria AFTER
locating her, and if an act of pi
racy has been committed to escort
tier to tnc nearest u. t. port.
The British admiralty, says Its
vessels have been ordered to try
to arrest the liner if it can be
done peacefully outside territorial
without loss of life or the risk of
scuttling.
The leader of the pirate band is
reported as this is written to have
got the National Broadcasting Com
pany on the ship's radio and to
nave stated that the seizure of
the ship is the first step toward
overthrowing the Salazar govern
ment of Portugal. Apparently the
pirate crew includes a press agent.
It's a screwball world. What
next?
A thrifty thought:
Maybe, if you're planning a
cruise, you'd better add piracy to
the risks covered by your insur
ance policy. .
Temperature report:
At International Falls, Minneso
ta, this morning it was 32 BELOW,
and at Anchorage, Alaska, it was
32 ABOVE. It was 31 below at
Devils Lake, North Dakota, and 31
above at Juneau. i
Even the weather has gone cock
eyed. In conclusion:
Here in the State of Jefferson,
we're happy to report, there are
no pirates on Klamath Lake, the
weather is mild, the recession
isn't biting too hard and nobody
is planning to overthrow the gov
ernment. For which let us be thankful.

Policy Of Hush-Mouth May
Have Been Set By Kennedy
WASHINGTON (AP)
plumbers of history, newsmen
with an ear for leaks, have their
work cut out for them in the Ken
nedy administration.
President Kennedy, starting his
first full week in the While House,
seems to have laid down a policy
of hush-mouth.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
was noted for not talking much
when he worked in the State De
partment some years ago.
Rusk came away from the
White House Monday, after talk
ing with Kennedy, with the news
the Kennedy administration wants
quiet diplomacy.
Then there were the Democrat
ic congressional leaders who per
haps for the first time had prac
tically nothing to say.
When they came away from
talking with Kennedy Tuesday,
they may have been mumbling to
themselves but they weren't even
doing that to reporters.
Vice President Lyndon B. John
son confided to reporters a piece
of information which didn t send
them racing for the telephones.
He said the talk with Kennedy in
volved problems lacing the na
tion.
PROUD OF OUR INDIANS
Roseburg people should be mighty proud of our Senior
High School Indians. It still Is a long way to the state
tournament, but our basketball team remains in contention
and has demonstrated toughness and ability for which the
players and coaches should be commended.
The game played against North Eugene last week was
a "key" contest. Roseburg won a victory, albeit a close
one, despite severe handicap. By winning the Indians
proved the validity of the confidence shown by those who
have been putting them in No. 2 spot all season long.
Roseburg has two losses, one to Klamath Falls. Rose
burg also defeated Klamath Falls, so has a tie with this
team which has been given No, 1 position because of
height.
Roseburg also lost to South Eugene in a game which
has received much comment. The defeat hurt.
; North Bend is a top team. North Bend didn't defeat
the Indians, but it certainly gave them a battle. It was
a rough, hard game. The Indians were tired and bruised.
Had they been too tired to eke out a win over North Eu
gene, North Bend would have been back in the running,
North Eugene hold a victory over the South Eugene
Axemen, the team that beat the Indians on the Eugene
floor. By whipping North Eugene, battered as they were
from the battle the preceding, night, the Indians wiped out
the sting of one defeat and put themselves back into the
classification of champions, which we've known right along
they were.

Good Market, Unfavorable Prices Is Enigma Facing Sheep Industry
DENVER (AP) Members of
the National Wool Growers Asso

sheep industry must decide
promptly whether "we are going

The challenge came from Don

East Germany,
Britain At Outs

BERLIN (AP)-East Germany
asserted it has a right to

The assertion was made in a i
statement to the Last German

nations do not recognize the Com

Gov. Mark O. Hatfield, chair
man of the board, said that "if
we didn't have this money in gov
ernment bonds it would be in our
vaults."
Bellon said the m6ney is in
vested in short term bonds, some
for only a few weeks.
Members of the Land Board
agreed with Barton's suggestion
that the percentage of the value
of land on which money could be
loaned should be increased. .
The Land Board is allowed to
loan up to SO per cent on land
and 50 per cent on buildings with

problems face the new adminis
trationrising unemployment and
falling gold reserves. What is done
about one could affect the other.
And the whole public may get
a clue as to what President Ken
nedy proposes to do when his first
news conference is carried tonight
on TV and radio and printed al
length for all to study in inurs
day's newspapers.
The problems are linked in two
ways:
l. Kising unemployment is due
to a large extent, although not al
together, to a continuing slack
ness in business. One traditional
way for government to tackle that
problem is to force interest rates
down and make business borrow
ing easier.
But this time, if it does, the
government runs the risk of in
creasing the' flow of investment
capital to other lands where re
turns are higher. And that in turn
will make it just that much easi
er for foreigners to pile up dol
lars they can turn in for more
of our gold.
Z. The loss or. gold attects tne
world confidence in the dollar and
disturbs planning at home. The
loss of gold with the possibility
it could lead to remedies that
would mean more inflation and
rising production coats also, along
with other reasons, encourages
U. S. companies to invest in over
seas plants to make goods there
rather than to hire workers here
to produce them. And this has its
effect on the total of unemployment.'
World trade conditions, whether
competitive imports, or brakes on
our exports,, or financial condi
tions such as the loss of gold
typifies, all have effects on do
mestic business.
The iobless problem, however,
is too obviously, cluttering up the
economy now to be swept under
the rug.
President Kennedy has been
given some new estimates by La
bor Secretary Arthur Goldberg.
Current unemployment is put at
5'i million, up a million in a
month. The1 number actually re
ceiving jobless payments is ap
proaching the record of 3.331,600,
set in April 1958. Bad weather and
other seasonal factors make it
likely that the record will be
reached or topped before spring.
Many out oi work persons aren't
eligible for such benefits and
many have ' exhausted the limit
such payments are made.
Much of Jtha blame lor rising
unemployment is put on poor busi
ness in autn. appliance, machin
ery and other manufacturing and
metal industries.
But there- are other causes.
The usual seasonal ones, for ex
ample weather hampers con
struction and other outdoor work.
A hand-to-mouth inventory pol
icythat is, not ordering anything
until the factory or store has used
up slocks on hand has caused j
cutbacks at supplier levels, suchi
as metal production and process- j
ing. . . i
General business uncertainty :
running all the way from stock
market nervousness to planning
for spending on new plant and '
equipment has taken a toll. Also,
along this line was uncertainty as
to what changes would come with
a new administration.
Labor chiefs point a finger at
automation as a cause for un
employment. They say machines
are taking over jobs that men
once had.
Conservatives say all. these will
will get better, inventories will
give out and have to be replen
ished, automation creates its own
skills and builds new markets,
business slackness may be re
versed. All this in due course and
without government interference.
But the administration is un
likely to want to wait. We should
know soon what it proposes to do
about current pressing problems.

"The fact remains that lamb at

Taylor listed the myths as: that

there is a free market of perfect

the case was put in a file marked
"unsolved." That was 19 months
ago.
This week the FBI disclosed the
arrest of two men and said the
mystery at least was partially
solved.
Here's what happened:
At 9:30 a.m., June 4, 1959,
truck No. 59 of Armored Trans
port Co. picked up currency and
coin at the Bank of America's
11th and Figueroa branch.
In the next 6'4 hours, the truck
made 17 routine slops, picking up
money at banks and business
lirms. At tne end of the run, a
money bag containing the $113,
200 was gone.
The guards told investigators
they had left the truck unguarded
but locked not an unusual ocur

they returned there was nothing
to indicate anyone had broken
into the truck, they said.
The guards were checked and
cleared. The route was re-traced

for the armored truck firm until
his arrest last week, were ar

Barton had suggested the 65 per
