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.

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.
State Announces
Summer Teacher
Exchange Program
SALEM (AP) 1 Formation of
Summer Teacher Exchange Pro
grain was announced Thursday by
the state Department of tduca
tion.
Dr. Leon P. Minear, state su
perintendent of public instruction
said the purpose of the program
is to promote understanding be
tween nations through a teacher
exchange program.
He said STEP will act as a
clearing house to promote recipro
cal teacher exchange programs.
He said a teacher to join STEP
would agree to give food and lodg
ing in his or her home to a teach
er from a foreign country.
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.
The executive board of the
group is composed of Dr. Robert
L. Allen, Lniversity of Oregon in
stitute of international studies: I.e
roy Graymer, chairman of the in
ternational relations committee of
the Oregon Education Association;
and Clyde E. McLain, Gilchrist
teacher.

Rusk Says Cuban Situation

Phone Officials Say
Split Would Have
No Effect On Rates
SALEM (AP) A ipokesman
for Pacific, Telephone 6t Tele
graph Co. said Thursday a pro
posed split in its corporate struc
ture would have no effect on rates
paid by its customers.
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

Hammer Released
For Good Cause
Says Commission
SALEM (AP) The slat Civil
Service Commission found Thurs
day that Maurice Hammer. 30.
woodburn. a group life supervisor
at MacLaren school was adequate
ly notified and dismissed for
cause.
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. . . ."
