Hodges Asks Aid Of U. S. Business
In Giving Help To Needy Nations
WASHINGTON (AP)-The U.S.
business community must assume
new responsibilities and accept
some revolutionary challenges to
help the developing nations, Sec
retary of Commerce Luther 11.
Hodges aald today.
In an address prepared for the
annual meeting of the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce, Hodges
said:
"If we are to grasp the chance
we have today to assist the de
veloping countries toward pro
gress, freedom and justice, we
are going to need a truly com
bined effort. Government alone
cannot do this job."
Appeal Follows Warning
Hodges' appeal for help from
the business leaders in meeting
the Communist economic offen
sive came after the chamber had
heard a warning from its presi
dent, Arthur H. Motley.
Motley, publisher of Parade
magazine, told 3,000 delegates at
the opening of the chamber's 49th
annual meeting that the misdeeds
of a few businessmen can blemish
the whole free enterprise system.
Motley said it is not the cham
ber's function to enforce the anti
trust laws, but "our free market
economic system demands pro
tection against such violations as
the recently exposed price-fixing
conspiracy" of electrical equip
ment manufacturers.
Hodges, in his luncheon address
reminded the delegates of the

Red Offensive Reel
"It seems to me that far too
many of us today think about our
dangers, and tend to forget our
opportunities. The Communist
economic offensive is very real,
very large and foreboding,"
Hodges said.
"But its reality and proportions

Truck Tax Drop
Apparent Loser
SALEM (AP) Opponents of
the bill to reduce truck taxes U
million a year apparently have
won their victory.
The House passed the bill last
Wednesday and sent it on the route
to Gov. Mark O. Hatfield. But the
governor won't get it for at least
another day or two.
Since the Legislature plans to
go home by Saturday and since
the governor has five days to act
after he gets a bill, this time
schedule will enable him to veto
the bill after the Legislature goes
home.
And that would deny the Legis
lature a chance to override the
veto.
Supporters of the truck tax re
duction are comment iney couia
muster the two-thirds vote needed
to override if the Legislature got
a chance to vote on it.
Hatfield has said he will veto
the bill, even though the bill has
been amended to apply only to the
next two vears.
After the House passed it, the
bill was sent back to the Senate
to be enrolled. The enrolled copy
had not been prepared this morn
ine. Then Senate President Harry
Boivin and House Speaker Robert
R. Duncan have to sign it oetore
it goes to the governor.
Duncan, an opponent of the bill
couldn't be expected to be in any
hurry about signing it, either.

Motley, in his opening address,

"Violations should be punished,

and Pennsylvania.
First of Bia Five
The bill is the first of the "Big
Five" Kennedy measures to get

Taken By Police
Booked at the Douglas County
jail on private complaints charg
ing assault and robbery being arm
ed with a dangerous weapon are
George James Geater, 32, of Wil
mington, Calif., and Thomas Earl
DeArmond, 23, of Bakersfieid,
Calif.
However, according to the State
Police report, the case, as yet, is
of a rather confused nature.
Sets Out In Pursuit
The report to officers states that
Richard Norman Olney and Rob
ert Lee Clum, both of Springfield,
allegedly picked up DeArmond who
was hitchhiking near Albany about
7 p.m. Sunday. They had gone to
Reedsport, then back to Sutherlin.
Olney and Clum then had driven
off with DeArmond's coat and
small radio still in the vehicle.
DeArmond borrowed $3 from a bar
maid at Jugs Club in that city
and hired Geater to take him to
overtake the other two.
When the latter caught up with
Olney and Clum they reportedly re
covered the property and required
them to pay the expenses of hiring
Geater. Olney and Clum claimed
the others used a gun, which was
denied by DeArmond and Geater.
A fight allegedly ensued between
DeArmond and Clum. The alterca
tion was broken up when Olney's
wife and another couple somehow
appeared on the scene
State police found Geater and De
Armond at Jug's Tavern, and
Geater was arrested initially on a
charge of possession of a concealed
weapon.
The Sheriff's department and
Sutherlin City Police assisted in
the investigation.
Skull Found On Dump
Was Only An Old Curio
When Tom Frentress Monday
morning discovered a fairly well
preserved human skull in a paper
sack on the houth Umpqua Dis
posal service dump, which he man
ages near Cnnyonvillc, he was
pretty sure he had a lurid mystery
to solve, reports Virginia Proctor,
correspondent.
Quickly summoning the State
Police, they rounded up the boys
who left the curio and found that
it was acturally an old Navajo
Indian skull acquired in New Mex
ico in 1934 and carried around by
the family ever since. The boys
had shown it off at school and the
family had finally tired of it so it
went the way of all rubbish to
the dump.

VIENTIANE, Laos (AP)-JJ. S.
support was pledged to the pro

Averell Harriman declared today
any delay in a cease-fire "is

Harriman, roving ambassador
for President Kennedy, came
here from two days of confer
ences in the royal capital of
Luang Prabang, where he and
Cambodia's neutralist chief of
state, Prince Norodom Sihanouk,
pressed for moves to establish a

Series Starts Today
Appearing in this newspaper to
day is the first in a series of pub
lic information advertisements ex
plaining the role played in the
United States economy by advertis
ing. The series of ads will run at
regular intervals throughout the
year. They were prepared by lead
ing Oregon advertising agencies at
the request of The Oregon News
paper ruDlisners' Association.
"Advertising in newspapers and
other media is a dynamic and vital
force which speeds and stimulates
the flow of goods from factory to
consumer," said Art Lowe of the
Corvallis Gazette Times, president
of the publishers group. "Like any
other major industry, advertising
has both critics and proponents,
but no one can dispute the import
ance of its function in fanning the
fires of competition in business.
This helps to keep production up
and prices down."
Today's ad is timed to coincide
with Oregon Advertising Recogni
tion Week, an annual observance
sponsored by The Oregon Advertis
ing Club.
Advertisements for the series
were prepared by the following
Portland agencies: Adolph L. Bloch

..ami hhinrl the irovernment in
the Laotian civil war.
Sihanouk told reporters in Vien
tiane earlier in the day that King
Savana Vathana opposes a 14-na-
tion peace conference on Laos, a
stand that might throw up anoth
er roadblock to a cease-fire.
But Harriman said the Laotian
government of Premier Boun
Oum and the United States both
still favor the 14-nation confer
ence after a cease-fire.
Sihanouk said he is withdraw
ing his sponsorship because King
Savang Vathana opposed any
thing but a settlement among the
Laotians themselves.
Sihanouk talked to reporters on
a stopover here from Luang
Prabang, the Laotian royal cap
ital. The development came as
government and pro-Communist
rebel emissaries were supposed
to be seeking each other out on
the front north of Vientiane lo
discuss a cease-fire.
The impact of the king's deci
sion is difficult to assess. The
king by tradition stands aloof
from politics. But as the crisis
deepened in Laos he took a more
active role in trying to settle the
conflict and the pro - Western
government listened to his coun
sel. Without elaboration. Sihanouk
said in view of the King's posi
tion he now feels there is "a
worse chance for peace."

Sihanouk told a news confer
ence in Vientiane that the king
insisted the Laotian factions must
settle their problems themselves.
He said for this reason he is
withdrawing his invitation to the
warring factions to meet at his
capital of Phoum Penh.
In deference to the king, he
said he was withdrawing both
Cambodia's sponsorship of the 14
nation conference at Geneva and
the invitation to Phnom Penh.'
Sihanouk told reporters that at
the urging of foreign diplomats,
he had a number of peace plan
suggestions at Luang Prabang.
One was for India to send the
international control commission
to Laos at once, to work with
both sides on arrangements for
the cease-fire.
He said he had received word
that India's Prime Minister Neh
ru had agreed to this. India is
chairman of the commission. Red
Poland and Canada are members.
Word was awaited from govern
ment envoys who are trying to
make contact with the pro-Communist
Pathet Lao rebels on the
front 45 miles north of Vientiane
to discuss a cease-fire.
The rebels proposed the no

but showed no sign of slackening
their military drive.
