Kenncdv will take time off from a round of social and ceremonial functions to sit down for tough diplomatic talks with Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos, Cuba's position In hemispheric affairs is certain to be one of the main topics of discussion during the three-day visit. Lopez Mateos does not agree with the United States that Cuba is under torn munlst domination. Recent traverlers from Mexico City say the Mexicans are tre mendously "excited" about t h t forthcoming visit. The popularity of the Presi dent! wife, Jacqueline, is ex pected to transcend even the sen timents of some of her husband's opponents, Leftist students have displayed signs reading "Kennedy go home."

His news conference remarks mirrored the Chief Executive's growing restiveness about slow congressional action on or defeat of some of his key legislation. He was more explicit than he has been In recent public statements, As delicately as possible, he seemed to be lighting small fires under his own Democratic lead ership on Capitol Hill. Asked For Support . In addition to urging his own narty "to do better." tne Presi dent also reminded Republicans in Congress that for years Demo crats supported the Eisenhower administration on important leg islation. He particularly asked GOP support for the foreign trade bill which faces a showdown vote in the House today. . - Kennedy was frank to admit that much of his legislative pro gram is far behind schedule In a Congress controlled by his party, but he noted somewhat philosoph ically that some Democrats have voted with Republicans lor 25 years. "That makes It very difficult to secure the enactment of any con troversial legislation," he told reporters. The President said "there is no sense in the Congress going home without taking action on a whole variety of steps which will Atom-Free Zone Asked By Khru MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet Pre mier Nlklta Khrushchev called to day for an atom-free zone in the far East and Pacific Ocean areas. The larger American nuclear weapons tests are held in the Pacific and U.S. airplanes capable of carrying nuclear weap ons are based in Japan and on such Far East Islands as Oki nawa. Khrushchev's s t a t ement, re leased here today by the Soviet news agency Tass, came in an answer to a letter from Japanese Communist party chief Senzo Nozaka. It was believed to be the first time that Khrushchev has urged that the Far East and the Pacific be made an atom-free zone that is, - an area where all nuclear weapons are banned. The Com munist Chinese have made simi lar proposals in tin past. In his earlier letter, Nozaka had proposed an atom-free zone for the Far East and the Pacific. 5 all: shees SEAMLESS 67 ' PR. PR.

Horbcrt Stone, regional forester, U.S. Forest Service, in Portland. . .. About 80 young men are under going tough physical training and receiving instruction in first aid and all phases of fire control. The Pacific Northwest Region employed about 70 jumpers in 1981.

As expected, the resolution Hearing Is Held On Scenic Way Along Columbia WASHINGTON (UPI) Chair man James O. Eastland today ordered hearings by his Senate Judiciary Committee on proposed constitutional amendents to overturn the Supreme Court's ban on official prayers in public schools. The Mississippi Democrat said the hearings would' be scheduled for sometime next week. Several amendments have been intro duced in the Senate since the court's decision Monday outlawing a atate-prescribed prayer in New York public schools. In the houso, a similar batch of proposed amendments - were set aside to cool, with little pros pect they would be called up for action. House J u d i i i a r y Chairman Emanuel Celler, D-Ny., said he believed controversy over , the court ruling would die down as thoughtful people consider the hazards of weakening safeguards of the Constitution's First Amend ment. He said his committee would not rush to consider eight proposed amendments dumped in to the House hopper. School aid backers meantime, put President Kennedy's college construction bill on ice pending a study of how it might be af fected by the court ruling. They postponed until July 9, at the earliest, further efforts to compromise on differing House and Senate versions, both of them providing federal construction aid for church - supported colleges along with other private and publicly operated colleges. Although , the court ruling Mon day had ho direct bearing on this program, some members of the House-Senate conference com mittee saw in the decision, and in a concurring opinion by justice wimam o. Douglas, implications that all federal aid for church schools could later be outlawed.

There was no bead count of the delegates present at the time of the vote, but it appeared that all 218 members of the house were present. ' But the Committe on Legisla tion and Public Relations, which prepared the resolution, pulled a surprise by calling special atten tion to a section of the AMA's "principles of medical ethics" which says: "A physician should not dispose of his services under terms or conditions which tend to interfere with or impair the free and com plete exercise of his medical judgment and skill or tend to cause a deterioration of the qual ity of medical care." Top AMA spokesmen, Including the chairman of the legislation committee, said the principles of ethics were cited so that doctors would know it was up to them to decide whether they should co operate with the provisions of the administration-backed King - An derson bill if it becomes law. The committee did not take di rect action on a proposal by the Louisiana delegation for a doctors boycott if King-Anderson goes into effect.

Freeman conceded today there had been "errors and shortcomings" in his department's dealings- with Billie Sol-Estes but firmly insisted that no tax money had been lost and no favors were shown.

As for the Estes case, Freeman declared that "I, as secretary of agriculture, must assume respon sibility" for mistakes that were Demos Avoiding Compromises WASHINGTON (UPI)- Spum ing all talk of compromise, Dem ocratic leaders today drove a reluctant House toward an all or nothing decision on President Kennedy s trade bill. They were increasingly confi dent the House would defeat a Republican attempt to derail the bill, which Kennedy Wednesday termed "vital to the future of this country. Some foes conceded the tide seemed to be running against them. However, many members still were uncertain how they would vote on the final showdown late this afternoon, With the administration exert ing all of its legislative muscle, House Democrats were under strong pressure to support the President. Most rank-and-file Republicans were supporting a move to wreck the Administration bill. GOP leaders also were receiving appeals from outsiders to use their influence in behalf of the administration bill. Barring an administration-sponsored compromise, House mem bers were forced to choose between two diametrically opposed propo sitions: The administration-backed bill that would give Kennedy greater tarrif-cutting power than congress ever has delegated to a chief ex ecutive and make available generous cash subsidies to work ers idled by imports. A substitute bill, sponsored oy Rep. Noah Mason, R-11L, that would do nothing but continue for another year the negligible tariff cutting power the President now has. The administration bill would em power the President for the next five years to cut U.S. tariff duties on all foreign products by 50 per cent and to eliminate duties al together on.- many items. The power would i,be used In trade negotiations to gain similar concessions that would give American products better access to foreign, markets, particularly Europe's Common Market.

He bluntly said the department "made a mistake when Under l secretary Charles S. Murphy de ciaea to appoint Estes to tne government's Cotton Advisory Committee at a time when the Texan was involved in a dispute over the transfer of cotton allot ments, Situation Was Confused The secretary said he "cannot escape the conclusion" that the transfers of the cotton allotments should "never have been aooroved in the first Instance..." They would not have been, he said, except for the "very confused situation that prevailed in 1960 and 1961." Estes was able to expand his cotton operations through a scheme by which small farmers transferred their growing allot ments to him in return for money. Freeman insisted that the Agri culture Department had given Es tes "no special benefits." Saying he was worried about the effects of Estes' affairs on the U.S. farm problem, he said no constructive purpose would be served "by using one episode, such as the Estes case, as a weap on with which to indiscriminately attack programs to help the farm ers of this nation, or to cast re flections and aspersions upon the millions of farmers who benefit from these programs." Pledges Cooperation Freeman stressed that the de partment already has acted to "tighten up management and in crease efficiency." He pledged full cooperation in correcting "any faults that may be discovered" in Roger Money Funeral services for Roger Al len Maney, 21, formerly of Rose burg, will be Saturday at 2 p.m. DST (1 p.m. Rosebnrg time) at the Oak Lawn Cemetery, Corvallis.
