Congress Swings Info High Gear On Several Of Kennedy's Measures WASHINGTON (AP) Con gress finally has swung into high gear on several of President Ken measures. The Senate and House took important action on four ma jor bills Thursday. Two of the measures may reach the President's desk next week. So far the legislators have sent to him only 4 of the 16 items on the must list he submitted in Feb ruary, a month after taking of fice. But this record will be im proved soon if Kennedy can chalk up many days like Thursday. Four Actions These were the four actions: The Senate passed 65 to 28 the minimum wage bill in almost the exact form asked by the Presi dent. The House passed 399 to 14 an administration measure increas ing a variety of Social Security benefits. Senate - House conferees agreed on Kennedy's S'-'M million de pressed areas bill, and then the Senate quickly passed by voice vote the compromise version. The Senate passed by voice vote a bill to make available nearly $.100 million in federal funds for needy children of unemployed parents. Tutsi Likely Sponsors of the depressed areas bill are hopeful that it can clear the House and be sent to the j White House by next Wednesday, i A hard tussle is likely there, though, because the conferees dropped a key House financing provision and took the Senate language making loan funds in the measure available directly through Treasury advances. Kennedy's minimum wage bill would raise the present $1 an hour floor to S1.25 by 19ti3 and bring an additional 4 million workers mostly in large retail stores un der the act. The House is expected to send it to conference Monday and to name a majority of conferees friendly to the Senate bill. How ever, it may be difficult to get tne compromise inrougn ine House, which originally passed a much less comprehensive bill than the Senate. Sent To Conference The bill setting up a program of temporary benefits to needy children with unemployed parents does not appear to be controver sial and also may to to the White House next week. The Social Security bill passed Thursday by the House has wide Senate support and seems certain to win eventual approval there. But Sen. Harrv V. Byrd. TJ-Va.. ithe Finance Committee chairman, Request For Delay In Hearing On Snake River Dam Is Rejected WASHINGTON (AP)-A Federal! Power Commission examiner has rejected a public power request for a delay in a hearing regarding dams on the Middle Snake River. The hearing will resume Monday ' as scheduled. Examiner William Levy added, however, that he would reconsider the question after Pacific North west Power Co. has completed its rebuttal testimony. At that time, he said, he might allow Washing ton Public Power Supply system to wait until June 12 before begin ning its rebuttal. Washington Public Power Sup ply had asked that all rebuttal testimony be put off until June 12. Direct testimony and cross exam ination has been completed. Levy said he anticipates extensive re buttal. At issue are the Nez Perce and High Mountain Sheep damsites on the stretch of the Snake which forms the border between Idaho and Oregon. Pacific Northwest Power, a combination of power companies, seeks authorization to build a hydroelectric project at the High Mountain Sheep site, above the mouth of the Salmon River. The public power group at first sought only the JMez Perce site, below the mouth of the Salmon, but has amended its application to include High Mountain Sheep.

New Fast Time Due In Legislature SALEM (AP) Rep. Ed Ben edict, D-Portland, said Thursday he would attempt to get the Leg islature to pass a bill that would allow Multnomah and adjoining counties to go on daylight saving time April 30. Benedict is sponsor of the de feated bill that would have per mitted any county or city to go on fast time on that date. After the House rejected that bill, Rep. Ken Maher, R-Portland, got it to reconsider so that the bill could be changed into a state wide referendum on uniform day light saving time for the state. But Benedict said he now would nress for nis new idea. The uni form measure would be on the ballot next vear. His new proposal drew a blast from Rep. llel Gordon, R Port- land. who accused Benedict of "complete disregard for the wish es of the House." . Gordon said Benedict and some members of his Planning and De- velopment Committee are taking action "winch will only lose tne last chance we have for full day light time in Oregon. I hope that Benedict will come to his senses." said his group might not take it up for about 10 days. This measure would let men re tire at 62 under Social Security, increase widows' benefits, make about 160,000 additional persons eligible for payments, and raise the minimum benelit from $33 to S40 a month. It would be financed by a l of 1 per cent tax increase on employer and employe effec tive Jan. 1. Another item on the 16 points a federal judgeship bill, was sent to conference by the Senate Thursday after clearing the House Wednesday. . The Senate voted for 73 new judges, the House 70. The differ ences are expected to be settled quickly.

In exchange the member teach er would later be extended the same, courtesy at the home in the native land of his visitor. The exchange would take place between teachers whose summer vacation periods were at different times. This would allow the visi tor to be in a country when school is in session. Since meals and lodging would be provided, the only expense would be transportation, which would be partially taken care of by obtaining transportation on military air transport service planes.

F. M. Mitchell, vice president ana general manager tor the com pany's Oregon operation, said this at a hearing held by Public Util ity Commissioner Jonel C. Hill. Mitchell was asked by. Norman Webb. Oregon assistant attorney general, if the proposed corporate split was to bring the company more revenue. It was at this point where Mitchell made the statement about the effect on users. Webb was assisted in the ques tioning by David Kosh. nationally known utility expert retained by Hill for the hearing. t Pacific Telephone with head quarters in San Francisco, wants to form a separate corporation, Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Co., for its operations in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The parent Pacific Telephone Co., which is owned primarily by American Telephone & Telegraph Co.. would retain the controlling interest in the new company. The parent firm hopes to make the corporate split by June 30 if the necessary approval is forth coming by then from government regulatory bodies. SALEM (AP) Hep. Clarence Barton, D-Coquille. said Thursday that a House-passed bill to bar the export of logs harvested from state land is constitutional. Barton told lha Senate Com merce and Utilities Committee he disagreed with an opinion by Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton. Thornton contended the bill is unconstitutional because he said it violates the federal govern ment's exclusive right to regulate foreign commerce. "The commerce clause does not prohibit a state from acting to conserve a resource," Barton said. Chairman Thomas H. JIahoney, D-Portland.aof the Senate Com mittee, a lawyer, agreed with Barton. Barton said theqe are plans to export about 500 million hoard feet of logs from the West Coast this year. He said this competition from Japanese purchasers has forced the price of logs up to the point where small mill operators can not buy them. "What are you going to do when someone who pays 50 cents a day for labor can bid $70 a thousand feet for the timber?" Barton asked. nanon said wnen a log is shipped out of the United Stales to be manufactured, it means that local people are cut out of jobs. "These are the kind of jobs and payrolls we need to keen our peo ple working and it behooves us to look at the future," he said. Rep. W. O. Kelsay, D-Roseburg, told the committee that the bill affects only a small amount of timber, but could serve to flash a warning light to point up the problem to the federal govern ment. Kelsav and Barton arc sponsors of the bill. Ernest Baker; representing the International Longshoremen's it Warehousemen Union, and George Gray, Seaside logging firm owner, opposed the bill. Gray said during the lumber market recession of this past win ter the only log market he could find was Japan. ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) Secre tary of State Dean Rusk says he does not consider the Cuban situa tion an invasion, but rather a Cuban effort .and that "Cubans will not be content until they achieve freedom." Rusk also told a news confer ence Thursday that Fidel Castro received aid from many sources in overthrowing the Fulgeucio Batista dictatorship and he said outside help now is aiding in the fight against the Castro regime. In an address to the, Atlanta Bar Association Thursday night. which climaxed an 11-hour whirl wind visit to his native Georgia, Rusk said .he knew Cuba was uppermost in the minds of many. But he reminded the estimated 1.350 persons attending the ban- American Can To Open 2 New Oregon Plants SA FRANCISCO (AP) Two new American Can Co. plants are going to be opened in Oregon.

Hammer admitted slapping a hoy at the school March 12 after the boy called him a name, and said he considered he was acting within the regulations of the insti tution. . It was reported at the hearing that Reed had slapped another boy after an escape try. Reed said he had the final responsibility and drew a fine line on this basis between his actions and that of ah underling who could always get help in punishing a boy from his superiors if it seemed merited. Hammer said he wasn't given written notice of his dismissal, but the commission said he had de clined to accept it. Thai's when a fight started between Hammer and Reed. For this Reed charged Hammer with assault. Hammer was acquitted by a jury in Wood burn Justice Court on that charge. Reed and other officers brought out that physical punishment, in cluding slapping and spanking, was taboo at the school. They said Hammer was aware of this regu lation because he bad been repri manded before. Hammer admitted the repri mands hut denied that he had previously struck any of the boys. quct that President Kennedy made a most signiiicant and sober statement" on the situation a few hours earlier. "I do not believe that it would be wise or necessary for me to attempt to embellish that state ment on the same day on which it was made." he added. On Laos. Rusk said: "Wo our selves have 119 national interest in that country, except that it be left alone to live in freedom and independence. We want no bases there: we want no military al liances with Laos. We want it to be free and independent, genuine ly neutral in its international position." Turning to the Congo, Rusk said that was "another potentially dan gerous situation, but one which has been placed in charge of the United Nations." On the question of nuclear test bans under negotiation in Geneva, Rusk said it was hoped "that we might take the first step toward disarmament under effectivo in spections and control." Sen. Morse Raps Postal Policies WASHINGTON (AP) The Post Office Department is pur suing a "penny-wise and pound foolish" policy in obtaining space for operations. Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., said Thursday. He based his comments on a study he asked the General Ac counting Office to make of a pol icy under which the department leases building space instead of buying if outright. Morse said, "What we have here here is a budgetary policy which holds that it is better to pinch pennies today and pay rent for years to come than to invest what ever may be needed in the acqui sition by the government of need ed postal facilities." The GAO study deals specifical ly with a lease arrangement to provide postal facilities in Port land. The department entered into it last year. Morse said In the Senate that the GAO established that over the length of the lease it will nay more for the Portland facility than it would have cost to build it. He added. "What ! seek to do now is to make public the fact; that this lease arrangement for postal facilities is exceedingly costly, and that it should be stopped. . . ." NOW AT TROWBRIDGE Electric Co.
