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.

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.

ty district judge, last Thursday at

called on all Orcgonians to make
them feel at home.
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.

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 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.

it was designed to fly.

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.
He said on a television program
he was having difficulty in seeing
the sights because of crowds that
gathered around him.
But he predicted the day would
come when there would be more
space in space capsules.
"The time is not far away
when we will be walking around
in the capsule," Maj. 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."
The 27-year-old Russian space
man, who on Aug. 6 completed 17
orbits of the earth, . arrived Sun
day fium Moscow with his pretty
wife, Tamara, 24.
Wednesday morning they go to
Washington, where Titov will ad
dress a meeting of the Committee
on Space Research, and meet
American astronaut John H.
Glenn Jr., who orbited the earth
three times.
The spacemen will participate
in an hour-long panel discussion
about space exploration, to be tel
ecast at 5:30 p.m., EST, Sunday

Porter Refutes
Statement On
Charles O. 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

Lebanon.
Mrs, Liles and the Lebanon worn

waived preliminary hearing and
were bound over for Grand Jury
action.
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

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

The "small area suggested by
