o 2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Mark Reveals Program To Welcome Tourists SALEM (AP) Green carpet treatment complete with a catchy tune, decals. lapel buttons and signs aimed at making Oregon the new "fun-tier" for tourists were advocated Monday by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Hatfield, flanked by the chair men of the Planning and Develop ment Commission and the High way Commission, opened the cur tain on a Welcome to urcgon program to make tourists feel wanted. He said that Seattle's Century 21 World's Fair will bring thou. sands through the state and he JFK, Medics Talk Aged Care; Accord Lacking WASHINGTON ( API-President Kennedy and the high command of the American Medical Associa tion met today on the issue of medical care for the aged and made no headway whatsoever to ward an agreement or compro mise. The only agreement was that there was disagreement, and this was emphasized both by the head of the organization of doctors, Dr. Leonard W. Larson, and Secre tary of Welfare Abraham A Ribicoff. A seven-man delegation of top officials of the AMA spent some thing less than an hour with Kennedy. Larson said afterward that vari ous medical and health problems were brought up, some by them, some by the chief executive. Larson reported that Kennedy spoke up for the administration program of caring for the elderly through the Social Security sys tem, And Dr. Edward H. Annis, chairman of the AMA Speakers Bureau, presented the AMA case in opposition. No, Larson reported, there was no switch in positions on cither side, nothing in the way of a com promise suggested or reached, and no evidence of the opening up of what a reporter called an avenue of accommodation of, op posing views. Ribicoff, who sot in on the meeting, went along with this diagnosis. And he cleared up one thing, that the meeting between the chief executive and the AMA del egation was at Kennedy's initia tive. "The President," Ribicoff said, "Indicated to the AMA that all responsible groups have a right to come in and talk with the President, whether they agree or disagree with him." The secretary said that Kenne dy left no doubt that he expects the King-Anderson bill, embracing the administration medical care program, to win out in Congress.

Hatfield said the state police have been given extensive instruc tions in aiding the tourist. Glenn Jackson, Medford, High way Commission chairman, said tourists spent $186 million in Ore gon last year, making it the state s third largest industry. He said an educational program among Highway Department em ployes who meet the traveling public is designed to teach them how to handle these tourists "and I might add selfishly how to ex tract the last dollar from them." Hatfield said the travel division is adding a full-time coordinator to implement this program. Gerald Frank, Salem, Planning and Development chairman, said a decision to establish new indus try is a personal decision, and a person made welcome is more likely to decide for Oregon. He said 110 tourists per day spending $10 per day in a commu nity are equal to an industrial payroll of M5O.000 a year. Richard Turner, Portland adver tising executive, introduced the nearly 500 present from through out Oregon to a work-kit for the program. It provided the information about decals, lapel pins, welcome mats, signs, cloth flags and car bumper slickers all in green and all crying "Welcome to Oregon." Hatfield added a final call for each community to "paint up, dress up and spruce up" and to avoid price gouging. Boucock Appointed To Yoncalla Board Harold R.

The mork is the highest altitude ever reached in a man controlled airplane. The record 1s 40,000 feet higher thon the previous Xl5 altitude mark. (UPI Telephoto) Record Flighl Is Only Beginning For Winged Craft, Pilot Believes EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) To grinning, rumple haired test pilot Joe Walker, his record 48-milc-high flight in the XIS rocket plane Monday is "only the beginning" for winged air craft. Judging from the stresses he withstood in his 3,443 m.p.h. dash to the edge of space, Walker said be could "take orbit with no strain at all." He doesn't think either he or the XI5 will ever go into orbit. The X15 isn't built for it, and Hit-Run Accident Reported To Police Three automobiles, sparked on SE Spring St., were struck and damaged by a dar reported to be traveling at a high speed and which drove on to SE Stephens and turned north without stopping, Kosehurg city Police report.

CG Recruiter Due Coast Guard Recruiter M. L. Wheeler will be at the Navy re cruiting station in the Douglas County Courthouse in Roseburg Vt ednesday from 8 a m to noon Chief Sonarman Wheeler said openings now exist for voung men between the ages of 17 and 26 who want a career in the Coast Guard. He also reported openuiKS are available lor ex-servicemen up to 4i) years of age. He will he on hand to explain the service's programs. i . it -A V "i . .. VI Walker, 41, is going to be tied up for the next two years seeing just how high the rocket plane can go and get back safely. But Walker said he would like to. "There is no question," Walker said at a news conference after his flight, "that we can put a winged vehicle in orbit and land it as I did today." The concept of using a winged controllable craft instead of a parachuting capsule to return from spac , Walker said, has been proved practical. "All we have to do is build the plane." Just such a plane, the missile- boosted Dynasoar space glider, is under construction. The lessons Walker and other X15 pilots learn will be cranked into Dynasoar's design. Before the year is out the X15 will fly higher and higher, per haps to 400,000 feet 75 miles. Altitude is no problem to the X15. Engineers said it probably has enough power to reach an orbital altitude of 100 miles. The tough part is coming down in one piece. Walker withstood forces four times normal gravity four G's the pilots call it in his steep climb and five G's when he pulled out of the dive back into the at mosphere. Determining the proper angles and speeds for safe re-entry into Coast Guard Seeks Former Sub Chaser EUREKA, Calif. (AP) - Coast Guard planes searched again Tuesday for a 107-foot converted World War II sub chaser, report ed overdue on a voyage from Grays Harbor, Wash., to San Francisco. Aboard the craft were the own er, Jeff L. Hodges, and his daugh ter, Sandra, 13. A Coast Guard spokesman here said Monday the wooden-hulled craft, recently purchased by Hodges, had not been out of port for 7 years until its current voy age. Hodges sailed the boat out of the harbor April 22. It was report ed overdue by his wife, Vivian, who said she expected her hus band and daughter to arrive in San Francisco by last Tuesday The Coast Guard said there was a radio aboard the craft. r.. .. . .....,.. . . r 4! L) A LOT OF SUGAR Representatives of two assisting agencies are shown preporing sugar cubes tor administra tion of vaccine agoinst polio this Sunday. Thev iJre Mrs. Robert Hastings, representing the District 1 1 Nurses' Association, and Glen Yotes, new president0of the Roseburg Junior Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Daniel Halterty, publi city chairman of Sobin Oral Sunday, reports the 25,000 sugar cubes to which vaccine will Jje coded, stacked end to end would reach 1,126 feet. This is tv.ice t': height of Mt N?oo and 26 times the heit of the Medical Arts Building. O 0 W' l i I the atmosphere will be X15's main job for the next two years. Walker has been preparing for this job for 17 years. An Air Force fighter pilot in World War II, he joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (then called the National Advisory Com mittee for Aeronautics) in 1945 as a physicist and later became a test pilot. Transferring to NASA's center here in 1951, he test flew several experimental aircraft, including the X1E, the X3 and the X5. When the X15 was proposed it became one of his major interests. Walker and Air Force Maj. Bob White, have broken record after record in the X15. The X15 has exceeded contract specifications in both speed and altitude. It was guaranteed to fly at least 250,000 feet and Monday's flight topped that by 5,000 feet. Maj. White streaked 4,093 m.p.h. last Nov. 893 m.p.h. faster than it was designed to fly.

IT PAYS TO PATRONIZE NEW REVIEW ADVERTISERS Russ Astronaut Says New York Is Too Crowded NEW YORK (AP) - Russian spaceman Gherman S. Titov com ola'ned today of a lack of space in New York City.

Titov said on the CBS "Calendar" program. He made this comment when questioned about differences be tween his ship and that of Col. John H. Glenn Jr., American or biter. Titov said his ship was more powerful and therefore techniques had to be different. He said he could stand up in his ship but could not walk in it. The Russian and his wife spoke through interpreters on the pro gram. In discussing crowds in the city, Titov said the people have trtat ed his wife and him very cordial ly and that "many have greeted us in. Russian."

Porter, Eugene attor ney, reports complete disagree ment with Rep. Robert B. Dun can, Medford, concerning the pro posed boundaries of the so-called Oregon Sand Dunes Recreational Park. Both men are seeking the Democratic nomination for Con gress from Oregon's 4th Congres sional District. The area in question embraces the northern part of Coos County and the coastal areas of Douglas and Lane counties. Proposal Outlined The original proposal, which was made by the late Sen. Richard L. Neubergcr would create a nation al park from a coastal strip rough ly six miles inland. The proposal would place the area in control of the National Park Service. It would provide for construction of a new highway along the eastern bound ary. U.S. Rep. Edwin Durno intro duced a bill into Congress to au thorize recreational development of some 12,000 acres now in federal control in the area which em braces more than 50,000 acres. Rep. Duncan, speaking recently in the district, offered what he termed a "compromise" sugges tion, that the park be confined to the land lying between Highway 101 and the ocean. This would ex clude the greater part of the pri vate holdings and would eliminate Accused Forger Bound To Jury Carl Gene Liles, 20, of Eufaula, Calif., waived preliminary hearing and was bour.d over for Grand Jury action on arraignment before District Judge Gerald R. Hayes Monday on a forgery charge. A Roseburg City Police com plaint alleges that Liles forged and counterfeited a $32.50 bank check in Roseburg for payment of mon ey.

Each defendant is being held in the Deuglas County jail under $3, 000 bond. Also in District Court Monday, Charles Davis Steen, 48, of 1997 SW Linnell St., accused of assault and battery upon his wife, Marie, pleaded innocent. The assault al legedly occurred on April 2.

A setting worthy in every respect At Long & Shukle Memorial Chapel lovely furnishings ond appointments create on environment of beauty and friendliness. This warm, hospitable setting resemb ling a fine residence provides a relaxed, comfo'tmg atmosphere for troubled emotions ... a setting worthy in every respect o sacred occasions. Long Shuhlc j 1 ; CORNER S.E PHONE Duncan's Dunes Area from the proposed park three of the larger lakes. 'Lakes Essential' "The inland lakes are essential in the park," asserts Porter. Dun can's plan, says Porter, is not a "compromise," it is a "surrend er." Commenting on the fact that residents of the area are vigorous ly opposed to the original plan, and that Sen. Morse has objected to the condemnation features of the Neuberger bill, Porter says that the objection has been removed by Mrs. Neuberger's willingness to have the condemnation clause elim inated from the bill. The "small area suggested by Duncan, Porter says, would "not take care of the great throngs of tourists we know are coming our way either to zoom on through or to stop and spend their money in Oregon, depending on wnetner we are ready to take care of them." Glendale Hosts School Meeting The Glendale School Board was host for the April meeting of the County School Boards Association, reports Mrs. Gerald B. Fox, cor respondent. .

According to Fisher, there was considerable discussion at the convention of reading teaching methods in elementary schools. Fisher also stated that the na tional association reversed its pre vious stand favoring a national school board. It was brought out at the convention that establishment of such a group might lead to fed eralization of school systems.
