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.

Interest among business and in

He said the Rotary Club, of

interest to make the necessary ar
rangements. Instructors from the University of
Oregon are available. The day
long course probably would bo set

At least 30 persons would he

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.

ASPIRING to be Miss Douglas County at the annual Ump
qua Boat Show April 13, 14 and 15 at the Fairgrounds
is Donetta Free, 1912 NE Vine, Roseburg. 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.

Steel Industry
Signs New Pact
PITTSBURGH (AP)-The United
Steelworkers Union and 10 of the
11 major steel producers formally
signed new labor contracts Fri
day, and the union immediately
expressed hope that a strike-free
era was beginning in the basic
steel industry.
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.

Spray Postal Theft
Suspect Convicted
SEATTLE (AP)-Charles Bick-
ham, Jr., 37, identified as a key
figure in a Spray, Ore., postal
theft, was convicted Friday by a
federal court jury on charges of
possessing stolen postal money or
ders. 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 s attorney argued his
clint was be!ng placed in double
jeopardy because he was sen
tenced to five years in prison at
Las Vegas. Nov., in connection
with cashing money orders there
last August.
DeTurk argued successfully that
the Seattle charge did not involve
the same offense. Bickham was
charged in Las Vegas while free
under bond on the local case.

gram of the county, Donnelly said
the program handled 105 cases
from July 1, 1561 through Febru
ary 1962. Of these cases, 45 were
carried over from the previous fis
cal year case load.
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.
