GREEN SCHOOL FIRST The rpsh of activity shovn here is prompted by the Green
' PTA's efforts to establish a U. S. savings stamp program at Green School. Obviously
their efforts ore successful. Here PTA mothers are shown selling the stamps to young
sters in a period set aside for the sales between 8;30 and 9 a.m. every Wednesday.
About 200 youngsters are taking part in the program. Principal Calvin Peterson said
his school's PTA storted the first sales program in the district because it felt it would
help the government as well as provide children with a means of regular savings. (Photo

EUGENE (AP) - When mem

their luncheon with a strange

Don Kirk calmly said: "You have

By the same token this success

In warfare the primary objective

I tie nation suddenly finds itself in
a position whereby an enemy sur

Senators Favor
Use Of Surplus
SALEM (AP) The Senate
State and Federal Affaire Com
mittee voted unanimously Wed
nesday for a resolution ordering
the state Public Welfare Commis
sion to adopt a plan for statewide
use of aurplus food immediately.
But the resolution has no teeth
in it. It doesn't have the force of
law. i
The Public Welfare Commission
already has said it doesn't have
any funds to put the program into
effect. It said it is the responsi
bility of the state Department of
Finance and Administration to
provide surplus foods directly to
those counties which ask or them.
A yet, no county has.
Gov. Mark O. Hatfield took the
commission to task for not using
surplus food for' welfare cases
and those whose incomes are
small in the present period of
high unemployment. i .
Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, D
Portland, author of . the resolu
tion, said, "This points up the
need for the governor's reorgani
zation plan. We have been getting
alibis and buck passing, so we
now can't pinpoint the responsi
bility on anybody. If we had the
reorganization plan in effect,
then we could blame the gov
ernor." . ,
The Public Welfare Commission
now is expected to come back
with a request for funds to put
the policy in effect.
It said that-the cost of distribut
ing the surplus foods might run
as high as 25 per cent of the
value of the food.
Rep. Carl Fisher, R-Eugene, an
nounced introduction of a me
morial asking Congress to make
surplus food available to penal in
stitutions. The only state institu
tions that now can get it are hos
pitals. He said it would save the state
a lot of money.
Kennedy Plans Cut
In Interest Rates

interest rates on FHA mortgages,

dends ahead of schedule and
starting an experimental food
stamp plan.
He also announced plans to re
move, as soon as arrangements
can be completed, restrictions
placed on dependents accompany
ing military, personnel overseas.
. In - addition, Kennedy told his
second news conference that he
does not believe al this time that
the business setback is serious
enough to justify a tax cut.
The President said he has di
rected that the maximum interest
rate on home mortgages insured
by .the Federal Housing Adminis
tration be lowered from 5 to 5W
per cent. This would be a move
to stimulate housing.
Kennedy -discussed the business
situation, after announcing that he
will scrap former President

JFK Asks Delay
In Warsaw Meet
WASHINGTON (AP) Presi
dent Kennedy says that as long
as Red China holds American pris
oners "it will be extremely diffi
cult to have any kind of normal
relations with the Chinese Com
munists." Kennedy was asked at his news
conference Wednesday if new ef

of five Americans imprisoned in
China and six who have been sen

Cuba.
Kennedy said I want to make
it very clear that we are concern

There are other matters affect

of Americans "is certainly a point
of the greatest possible concern."
He said, "We have asked for a

Roseburg Alerted
On Knife Wielder
The Douglas County Sheriff's of
fice sounded an alert today for all
persons, especially those living in
the North Roseburg area, after a
youth, described as between 16 and
19 years of age, drew a knife on a
housewife in that area shortly be
fore noon Tuesday.
According to Undersheriff Lyle
Dickenson, the youth entered the
rear door of the home of Mrs.
Helen Marie Matthews at 1841 NW
Doewood Dr.
He was seen by Mrs. Matthews
In the doorway of the utility room.
When she rushed t the doorway,
he produced a knife and mumbled
some incoherent words. The wom
an grabbed his arm and pushed
him out the back door, then slam
med the door shut and notified po
lire.
The sheriff's office is investigat
ing the case and asks for coopera
tion in tracing down the suspect.
He is described as about S feet 8
inches tall, having blondish hair
with a reddish tint, a ruddy com
plexion and wearing a blue fabric
jacket and blue trousers. He ap
peared neatly dressed, but his feet
and hands were dirty, according
to the description given.
The youth had been observed
by others in the neighborhood for
nearlv an hour, before he came
to the Matthews' home. He was
last seen running in the direction
of the Drive 'N' Save Market. Any
one having any information on the
suspect is advised to call tne sher
iff's office immediately. :
The incident is described as sim-1
ilar to one being investigated by
Stale Police, in which a youth is j
alleged to have pulled a knife on
a woman at the Safeway parking
lot on NE Stephens Street on Jan. !
13.
Dickenson said the sheriff's of- j
fice does not know if there is any
connection between the cases, but
says it is likely that there is.

fused to vote him new powers
even in less controversial fields.
The council scheduled a - morn
ing session to continue its latest
Congo debate, which is likely to
lake up the rest of the week.
Without giving up his policy of
neutrality for the U.N. force in
Congo domestic affairs, Hammar
skjold insisted that he must be
allowed to reorganize the Congo
army, which he said has been
taking sides in the warfare be
tween President Joseph Kasavu
bu and forces supporting deposed
Premier Patrice Lumumba.
The council also heard a demand
from the United Arab Republic
that Lumumba be freed from jail
and that Belgian military men al
leged to be in the Congo be. ousted.
Hammarskjold's policy of not
allowing the U.N. force to inter
fere in the domestic affairs of the
Congo is under attack from the
pro-Lumumba group, from the
Belgians, from Kasavubu and
from provincial premiers. Each
wants the U.N. force to take ac
tion against the others.
Most of the initial Congo session
was given over to statements wel
coming Stevenson.',
Stevenson pledged U.S. efforts
for cooperation and conciliation
without name calling. He added
thatt the United States applauded
"the efforts of this council to as
sist the orderly transition in the
Congo through the secretary-general."
Drydock Bill
Wins Favor
SALEM (AP) A House-passed
bill to require that a $6 million
drydock for the Port of Portland
be built in Portland won the unan
imous approval Wednesday of the
Senate State and Federal Affairs
Committee.
Rep. Ed Whelan, D-Portland,
said the bill would accomplish
that by giving a 10 per cent differ
ential to contractors who would
build it in Portland.
Whelan said the bill's aim is to
get revenge against California
and Washington.
He said Oregon shipbuilders
were not allowed to bid on ferry
boats built for the state of Wash
ington, or on fish biology boats
built by the state of California.
The Port of Portland will call
for bids Thursday on the big dry
dock. Whelan also said the bill ts
aimed at preventing Japanese
builders from getting the contract.
He said he thought the 10 per
cent differential was sufficient to
insure its construction in Port
land. He also said : that Bethlehem
Steel Co. is so anxious to build it
in San Franoisco ithat it would
give the steel away for its construction.
