Hatfield Offers Three-Point Plan
To Bolster Democracy In Oregon
Plan Proposed
At Joint Service
Club Meet Here
By ANDY FAUTHEREE
Ntws-Raview Staff Writer
Gov. .Mark O. Hatfield Tuesday
noon listed three necessities to
add strength to democracy in Ore
gon. He spoke to about 230 people
at I joint meeting of service clubs
in the Roseburg area. The Rose
burs KiwanLs club was host.
Hatfield said the state needs
strong educational ystein, ec
nomic security and willingness to
survive.
Under "educational systems," he
called lor individual support and
caid we should not look to the gov
ernment to handle everything, but
should stand up and be counted. He
said Oregon is soon going to take
a pioneering step in studies of
"Americanism vs. Communism."
to better understand our govern
ment and the evils of Communism.
He gave as an example of need
the Korean war defectors who
stayed with the Chinese Commu
nists. He believes this was a result
of not understanding wholly our
way of life.
Plans Stressed
In line with this first point, the
governor said we must have two
basic plans: (1), To increase edu
cational standards and (2) to raise
the standards of teacher training.
Hatfield's second point "econom
ic security." he said, calls for
both "payrolls and playgrounds."
He stated that he doesn't believe
that if we bring in a wealth of
new industry, we will lose our na
tural resources and beauty, as
many people contend.
With careful planning, we can
have both, he stated.
He said he believes new indus
tries will raise the value of land
now going to waste; and once one
phase of industry is brought in,
aim ilar ones will soon follow.
He went on to say that soon
Oregon is going to have to take
part in national defense produc
tion. This will be a good way to
add to our economic strength, he
laid.
Another thing, Oregon is going to
set a precedent in getting people
off welfare and employed, he said.
He doesn't believe that one person
should work to support someone
who doesn't.
His third necessity he called "the

The earlier indictment was dis
missed July 12 on grounds that it
had been returned by an improp

The first indictment had 12
counts. The new one includes 16

original indictment, included three I
charges of mail fraud, three of
fraud by telephone, and one of
fraud by telegraph.
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy,

said it also contained three new
mail fraud counts and a mail fraud
conspiracy charge.
McCarthy, now an officer of the
Public Bank of Detroit, was, at
the time of the alleged frauds,
