Yugosl avs Hold Regi ime's Critic BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) Milovan Djilas, former vice president of Yugoslavia and crit ic of the Communist system he helped build, was arrested today. A spokesman for the Ministry of Information said Djilas had been taken into custody but did not give the reason for his arrest. The 51-ycar-old Djilas was first arrested in 1957 for his book "The New Class" expounding on the shortcomings of communism. He was released in 1961 after serving four years in prison. Djilas. once a close associate of Marshal Tito and mentioned as his possible successor, refused to recant his theory that commu nism on overthrowing the old or der, inevitably develops a new class of exploiters. He has a new book dealing with his' discussions with the late So viet dictator Stalin due to be pub lished in the United States within a few weeks. Two weeks ago, Yugoslavia approved a new law making it a crime, to write on subjects that might harm Yugo slavia. Djilas stood by Tito when Stalin attempted to destroy the Tito re gime in 1948, but he later became an outspoken advocate for more democracy in Yugoslav politics. Djilas writings and speeches finally led to his expulsion from the government and important po sitions in the Yugoslav Commu nist party in 1954. He was convicted of conspiring against the Yugoslav government and received a three-year prison term in 1956. But his book "The New Class" was completed in the meantime and smuggled out of the country. When it was published in Au gust 1957 Djilas was retried and sentenced to nine years imprison ment. It was later shortened for good behavior. Rotary To Sponsor Marketing Seminar Interest among business and in dustrial leaders is being sought here in a proposed one-day sem inar in marketing and distribution, according to I.es West. He said the Rotary Club, of which he is a member, will spon sor the seminar and arrange a meeting place, if there is enough interest to make the necessary ar rangements. Instructors from the University of Oregon are available. The day long course probably would bo set up on a basis of a morning, noon hour and afternoon lecturo and in struction scries on phases of mark eting, economics and destribution. At least 30 persons would he needed to sign up to make the class worthwhile. It is being con sidered for mid April, said West.

Johnson, Republicans Spar Over Economic Performance WASHINGTON (AP) A cor poral's r.mrd of Republicans threw a counteroffensive against what they had expected to be an administration barrage on the economic front. But the barrage never came only a few pot shots from Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. The sniping occurred Friday and centered around an adminis tration briefing for newsmen on labor relations and economic sit uations. It was billed as nonpo litical. Johnson, however, did inject a partisan note, saying the new frontier had opened "new dimen sions in the field of labor policy." One of these, he said, was "the wise and effective use of official candor." Indonesians Face Shortage Of Rice JAKARTA. Indonesia (AP) The government has announced that famine threatens Indonesia because of the acute shortage of rice. Defense Minister Gen. Abdul Haris Nasution, whose armed forc es have been getting preferential treatment because of the military buildup over the West New Guinea dispute, has ordered his military commanders to cut soldiers' pay and rations so that food supplies may be given the public. Potentially the richest nation in Southeast Asia, Indonesia's 96 million population has been chron ically short of food because of in creasing economic chaos. The situation reportedly is par ticularly bad in crowded central Java, where an antistarvation command was established two months ago to feed the local pop ulation. Many are suffering from malnutrition. Soup kitchens have been estab lished in Jakarta. The district head of Bandjar, in Borneo, sent this telegram to the South Borneo governor: "Acute rice shortage in Bandjar District and Djorong, 110 persons known to be starving. Hope send imme diately rice supplies." Similar telegrams have been re ceived in other areas. Three areas in Indonesia have large rice surpluses, Acheh it northern Sumatra, central Sumat ra and the South Celebes, but trans port facilities are so bad that large-scale movement of rice to famine areas is proving virtually impossible.

The attractive 17-year-old is a student at Roseburg High School. She Is 5-6 and weighs 1 1 6 pounds. Donetta has been a county resident for eight years. Seven Republican congressmen, having figured they would need equal time to express to GOP po sition, set up their own briefing to follow the administration s. Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg went along with them by announcing that the rival ses sion would be held. One of the spokesmen for the Republicans, Rep. Thomas B. Curtis of Missouri, tipped his hat to the administration's briefing, saying, "We expected a propa ganda barrage and were pleas antly surprised. It was a graci ous gesture of Secretary Gold berg to announce we were hold ing this meeting." He went on to say, however, that the federal government's de ficit will probably approach $4 billion, and he charged that the administration had no business running a budget defici in a year when the nation was enjoying the "highest prosperity ever." Rep. Charles E. Goodell, R-N.Y., contended the adminis tration was obsessed by massive spending programs and asked: "Why do the administration lead ers occupy themselves with these largely discredited weapons of the old frontier?" The Republicans hit on the theme that the current recovery is more sluggish than those that followed other dips in the econ omy since World War II and that the Kennedy administration has shown little ability to stimulate it.

The 11th steel firm Great Lakes Steel Corp. postponed its formal signing until today. A spokesman said company and union officials met until early morning, ironing out the mechan ics of the contract, and were too exhausted to continue the formal ities. USW President David J. Mc Donald, the chief union negotiator during the bargaining sessions, described the two-year pact as historic. He said he was hopeful the con tract would lead to the elimina tion of basic steel strikes forever. Although there is no wage in crease in the pact, workers will receive improvements in job se curity and unemployment bene fits estimated to be worth 10 cents an hour. The contract runs until June of 1964 with a possible reopening of talks in the second year. U.S. Steel Corp., the nation's leading steel manufacturer, was the first company to sign the new pact. R. Conrad Cooper, vice presi dent of U.S. Steel and the chief industry negotiator, signed his firm's contract along with Mc Donald. Cooper commented that the spirit of cooperation expressed by both sides was the most outstand ing feature of the negotiations. The other companies followed U.S. Steel after first meeting to discuss certain individual char acteristics of their contracts. They included Bethlehem Steel, Pitts burgh Steel, Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Jones It Laughlin, Armco, Republic Iron & Steel, Inland Steel, Wheeling Steel and Colo rado Fuel It Iron. The talks opened at the earliest date ever, in mid-February, al most 4'i months prior to the June 30th contract deadline. Although negotiations broke down at one point, they resumed quickly with no bitterness ex pressed by either side. J. A. Ferschweiler John A.

A safe containing 595 money or der blanks worth $100 each was taken from the Spray postoffice June 26. Philip H. DeTurk, assistant U.S. attorney, offered evidence that Bickham had 220 of the stolen or ders in his possession here June 27 and received money from four cashed by an associate.

Bickham was charged in Las Vegas while free under bond on the local case. Judge William J. Lindbcrg set April 23 for sentencing.

Since July 1, 1961, 40 cases brought to the clinic have been terminated with a majority of these showing considerable improvement. Donnelly noted that in some cas es which were terminated, the chil dren may have come to the clinic just for examination while others have not continued recommended treatment. He noted that children brought to the clinic ranged in ages from 4 to 19 with the most frequent age being 15 years. The age group from 10 to 16 accounted for two-thirds of the total. Slow Learners Numerous Of the types of problems brought to the clinic, the largest number were slow learners with average intelligence, Donnelly said. The second largest group consisted of those who are control problems in school, at home or both. Only a small portion of those cases referred to the clinic had emotional disturbances related to a physical handicap. William Peckham, psychiatric-social worker, working under the di rection of Donnelly, is in charge of the clinic. The clinic is run in cooperation with the mental health section of the Oregon State Board of Health.
