City Wading Pool
Gets Spray Device
Installation of an overhead foun
tain spray, designed to create a
plash pool, has been completed at
the municipal wading pool on com
mercial Ave.
Craig McMlcken, city manager,
reports that the splash pool system
has been added to both the Com
mercial Ave. pool and the facility
adjacent to the city swimming pool.
The Commercial Ave. pool, in
particular, McMlcken reports, was
felt to be unsanitary and danger
ous as a wading pool. Filled with
water, which was renewed only at
Intervals, the pool often Became
dangerously unsanitary, he said.
There also was a possibility, where
the pool was filled with about a
foot of water, that some child
might wander in alone, be knocked
unconscious in a fall and drown in
the pool. Inasmuch as the city can
not (urntsn a constant attendant,
he said, it was felt safer and more
sanitary to convert the facility into
a splash pool.

Grin Burns
At 12:44 p.m. a small fire oc
curred in grass near the junction
of Hiehwav 99 Freeway and High
way 99 (business route) south of
Roseburg.
This was followed at 1:32 p.m
by a small grass fire covering a
half acre off Highway 99 Freeway
near the Roseburg Airport over-
pass.
decided whether to launch a tax-
cutting drive this year.
Kennedy is studying both the
economic ana political implica
tions of such action, Including
whether Congress would go along
with a tax cut plan.
In a carefully worded announce
ment designed to avoid raising
premature expectations of tax re
lief, committee unairman wimur
D. Mills, D-Ark., managed to
avoid direct mention of taxes.
He said merely that the com
mlttee was summoning govern
ment and private experts to get
"information on the over-all eco
nomic outlook, both short range
and lone range." Witnesses win
speak for industry, labor, agricul
ture, research and educational in
stitutions.
Mills promised public hearings
would be scheduled if the com
mlttee should decide "at some
later date that any problems fac
ing the economy call for legisla
tion within its jurisdiction. The
committee normally initiates all
tax legislation?
Kennedy said previously he
would put off for at least three
weeks a decision on whether to
recommend a reduction in every
body's income tax rates to stimu
late the lagging economy.
Regardless of the decision on
this, Kennedy has committed him
sen to recommend next year a
tax reform bill that would pro
vide for a net reduction in taxes,
effective retroactively to Jan. 1,
1963.
The question now is whether the
timetable should be speeded up.
over tne weekend, Keith t uns
ton, president of the New York
Stock Exchange, came out for an
income tax cut to restore business
confidence and encourage invest
ments. However. Funston said it would
be unwise to consider any cut un
less congress and the administra
tion spell out steps to cut the
rate of federal spending,
ne advocated sharp reduction
in corporate and the high income
tax brackets. Low income tax
payers also would have to be ben
efitted he said "to convince the
electorate you are being fair to
them."

New Incident Hits
Berlin Air Lanes
BERLIN (UPI) - Soviet jet
fighters flew dangerously close to
two American aircraft in the Ber
lin air corridors today and the
United States protested the inci
dents, an American spokesman
announced.
Two Soviet jets flew "very
close" to a U.S. Air Force plane
and another jet endangered an
American charter transport, the
spokesman said.
The new incidents increased
fears here that the Russians had
started a new campaign to harass
the vital .air traffic that saved
Berlin from starvation in the 1948
49 blockade.
In today's incidents, two Soviet
jets first approached an Air Force
plane on a Berlin flight. Later,
another Soviet jet flew close to
an American charter four-engine
DC7 coming here to pick up West
Berlin high school students to
take them on a tour of the United
States.
The pilot said a MIG17 ap
proached the transport from about
a half mile away as it was fly
ing at 9,000 feet in the Berlin.
Frankfurt air corridor.
The jet drew alongside the
transport's right wing at a dis
tance of about 20 to 20 yards for
five minutes, the pilot said.
After five minutes, the pilot
said, the jet waggled its wings
and flew away.
The transport was a charter
Aircraft of the American-run Na
tional Overseas Airways. It was
bringing passengers to Berlin on
a nonscheduled flight.
It .was the third announced case
of Russian interference with West
ern Allied traffic in the air corri
dors above East Germany in a
week. Last Tuesday there were
two buzzings.

a national magazine that he and
Hatfield had agreed to a policy
of non-interference in each other's

Morse also repeated his insist
ence that the Kennedy ad
ministration take action to relieve
the northwest lumber industry. He
again called for temporary quotas
on Canadian lumber, based on the
aberage of Canadian imports over
the past ten years.
Thornton gave Hatfield large
share of the blame for a new
timber tax law he said will force
counties to raise taxes.
Thornton referred to the tim
ber tax law passed by the 1961
legislature and signed by Hat
field. He said many counties with
substantial timber will face in
creased taxes as a result of the
law.
Duncan said the main question
