Newspaper Page TextHe Opened the Door THE LIGHTER SIDE: Cclit 4 The Newt-Review, Roteburg, Activities of the recent session of the Oregon Legislature with regard to oper ation of motor vehicles are reported in the current issue of the Oregon Motorist. This is the official publication of the Oregon State Motor Association: The article tells of new regulations, of defeated proposals, and other factors of particular interest to motor vehicle owners. The report from the Oregon Motorist is as follows: The Oregon Legislative Assembly 1963 version, was on the whole good to highways and motoring. In the field of highway bonding for special projects, opposed by the Oregon State Motor Association, the legislators turned thumbs down on several propos als which would have hiked the state's bond debt to astronomical heights. No special road bonds were authorized in the 1963 session. In the field of driver education, the solons authorized a substantial increase . in subsidy payments to schools offering approved driver education courses. For each pupil enrolled, the state will pay up to $50, Instead of the $30 authorized previously. Several attempts to restrict driving to youths 18 years of age or older were defeated. Bills were passed in the interests of highway safety including requiring cars to be equipped with seat belts, establish ing standards for hydraulic brake fluids, making flight to elude an officer unlaw ful, setting up a vehicle equipment com pact, permitting arrest for probable cause. In other action, the solons apparently loubted the proposals' to make indicated speeds maximum limits, establishing the principle of implied consent to blood tests as a prerequisite for a driver's license, periodic motor vehicle inspection, exam ination of drivers every six years regard less of experience. ?

WASHINGTON WINDOW Kennedy Administration Trapped On Civil Rights By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International President Kennedy Is caught in a political squeeze play on civil rights. The Kennedy administra tion trapped itself. The President invited his cur rent political troubles by making a mistaken political decision at the outset of his administration. This was to ignore for two or three years the civil rights campaign promises that contributed so much to his election. Whatever may be the morality of making and Ignoring promises to any group of voters, tins de cision by the President in 1961 was bad politics. It led directly to the Kennedy administration's present predicament. The dp clston looked pretty good at first.

And for SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1963 dicted insurance rates would rise as higher jury verdicts became common, which has been the experience in other states. The solons, by passing HB 1047, changed driving in Oregon from a "right" to a "privilege," and the same bill directs the Department of Motor Ve hicles to cancel the license of anyone under 18 when the parents or guardian who signed the application for the minor's license requests that it be can celled. This bill also directs the superin tendent of mental hospitals to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles when pa tients are dismissed who should not drive because of their mental condition. SB 39, which establishes an interstate driver license compact, was passed. Un der this law, states joining the compuct will report convictions to each other, and the driver's home state then will take the same action that would have been taken had the driver been convicted in his home state on four violations: man slaughter as a result of an accident; driving while intoxicated or under the influence of narcotics', any felony in which a motor vehicle is used ; and fail ure to stop and render aid in an accident resulting in the death or personal injury of another. In the closing hours, the session did pass the bill requiring reflectorizing ma terial on automobile license plates, but the original provision to charge the mo torist a $1 manufacturing fee was elim inated. Bills that died In committee included MB 1123 which would have raised the driver license fee and required the appli cant's photo in color on the license card ; HB 1480 which would have lifted the fi nancial responsibility minimums from the present $5,000-$10,000 for injury and death claims to $10,000-$20,000; HB 1794 which would have increased car regis tration from $10 to $15; and HB 1065 which would have permitted special oc cupational driver's licenses for persons who have their regular license revoked or suspended. The Almanac By United Press International Today is Saturday, June 15, the lGBIh day of 1063 with 199 to follow. The moon Is approaching Its new phase. The morning stars are Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. The evening star is Mars. On this day in history: In 1215, King John of England set his seal on the Magna Carta. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin and his son demonstrated the relation ship between electricity and light ning with a kite and an iron key. In 1922, the Permanent Court of International Justice opened its first session at The Hague in The Netherlands. In 1960, Premier Kishi said he asked President Eisenhower to postpone his visit to Japan be cause of antt-Aincrlcan riots. A thought for the day The Spanish author, Miguel Cervantes said: "The lance has never blunt ed the pen, or the pen the lance." about 18 months the Kennedy strategy worked like a charm. In fact, this was about what it was made of charm. Protean against the scuttling of 1!M) campaign promises were muled if aired at an. All was well, politically, for the President on the Negro front. And that was important, too, because the President needed the Negroes to he elected in 1900 and prob ably will need them to bo re elected next year, But all was not well. The Negroes look to the streets. President Kennedy began talking anxiously to White House visitors about a crisis in rare re lations.

RUARK Adam Clayton Powell is not gen erally regarded these days as an oracle of either truth or reason, but I would be inclined to say that he made a point a while back when he said oddly enough, when he was asking Malcolm X, the Black Muslim, to take over Washington, D.C., with its racial problems the following words: "Even those Negroes who oc In The Day's News - By FRANK At a breakfast mec.'ng in Wash ington this week wim about 160 GOP congressmen, former Presi dent Eisenhower offered this opin ion: "Anybody who would spend 40 billion dollars in I nice to the moon for national prestige is NUTS." He drew sustained applause from the congressmen present at the breakfast. There was no report, at the moment, from out in the sticks.

It's a strange world we're living Ike Calls JFK Record 'Sorry' HERSHEY, Pa. (UPD -Former President Dwight D. Eisen hower said Thursday night that only a "cunningly manipulated veneer of imagery" hides Presi dent Kennedy's "sorry record." Eisenhower said many persons are upset by the administration's "non-action and headlong retreat on matters of national survival and domestic well-being, on which were promised firm, unequivocal decision and action." "The roll call a long record of glowing promises and anemic de liverieswould include such cam paigning catch phrases as 'mis sile gap,' 'stroke of the pen,' 'strong presidency,' 'get the coun try moving again,' and so on" he said. The former President spoke at a dinner meeting of about 75 Re publican leaders attending a two day workshop sponsored by the National Republican Citizens Committee.

This was a nugget of truth in what was otherwise a racist recita tion of statistics of crime, welfare, illiteracy, and unemployment, with a final threat to riot as a force for achievement. But the nugget is there. The Negro who has risen to comfortable eminence through the mastery of some trade, skill, prolcssion or talent does tend to hold himself aloof from the tenemented mass of black immigrants to the cities. He is not pleased to include him self in a depressing statistic which. to quote Powell, lists the black man in Washington as providing "80 per cent of the welfare; 70 per cent of the illiteracy; and 90 per cent of the crime." Success Seeks Level It Is a human failing. The suc cessful white farmer has never al lied himself too closely to the trou bles of the white sharecropper; the lace-curtain Irish contractor soon shuns the society of his cou sin, the hod carrier; the Italian owner of the pizza factory may forget the plight of his uncle, the organ grinder. Whether you move uptown or downtown, East Side or West Side, success seeks its own level. This is doubly, triply true of the Negro who has been able to claw himself into a firm position in a society which has made a penalty of color since the Negro arrived. The urge is to encroach a former ly white neighborhood, because the grass is greener, Ihe plumbing bet ter, than in the ghetto from which he emerged.

The purpose of the system is to keep the CIA out of the public eye, and vice versa. The need for that is understandable. But in its quest for anonymity the agency on occasions has gone to such extremes the effect has been to call attention to itself. Some of these incidents have produced comic overtones, as in the old silent movies where the guy who is tippytoeing around steps on a piece of fly paper. Most recently, the CIA made itself surreptitiously conspicuous by foiling a Senate page who was trying to deliver a letter from Sen. Frank Church, D-lda-ho, to the agency director. Long Interrogation Although the Senator's office had apprised the agency of the page's mission, he was upon ar rival interrogated at length and Reader Opinions Leaeue Secretary Talks In Defense Of Legislature To The Editor: The continued criticism of the loniclafiirp nrnmnts me to socak up in its defense. As a private citizen and an official of a citizens' group, I worked closely with the legisla- ture on a number of biils and res- olutions. Of course 1 was disap - pointed that certain bills failed and that others passed. Nevertheless 1 was impressed by the diligence courtesy, and sincerity of most legislators. They put in long hours of work, starting early in the morn ing and often lasting into the night. They are subject to harrassment, ridicule and intense political pres sures. Yet they spend months away from home at an indispensable albeit thankless job. The average legislator is, in a word, unappreci ated. The legislature is criticized for not accomplishing much (despite their hard work) and for a great deal of wrangling and bickering. But is it the fault of the legislature that little was accomplished? The House is split with 31 Democrats and 29 Republicans. The Senate is dominated by an uneasy coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats. The executive and leg islative branches are controlled by different parties. Both branches operate under an obsolete state constitution. Given these formidable handicaps it is a wonder that any thing at all was accomplished. It is also true that disharmony prevailed, particularly toward the end of the session. But this is not bad; it is good. It is a manifesta tion of conflicting convictions strongly held. Without such convic tions they would indeed have a short, harmonious session. But it would be characterized by apathet ic consent to every whim of every special interest and the state be left in a shambles. If more people could have seen the legislature in action, particu larly its toilsome committees, more would join in thanking the represen tatives and senators for a job done under difficult circumstances.

"There ain't nobody here but us pen guins and we're invisible" prob ably. The things that I find most intriguing about the CIA's secur ity system is the way its oper ating expenses are handled. Funds for the agency are con cealed somewhere in the massive federal budget, so that only a few persons know how much money it is spending. I enjoy going through the budg et and picking out items that I think might be used to mask a few bucks far the CIA. For in stance, there is the Abaca fiber program. According to the budget for fis cal 1964, this program is taking nothing out of the Treasury and is putting $99,000 back in. That certainly looks suspicious. In fact, it's downright unbureaucratic. No Such Thing My hunch is that there's really no such thing as Abaca fiber and that the money actually is going to the CIA. On page 822 of the budget, $408,000 is earmarked for pay ment of annuities to the widows of lighthouse keepers. That also looks fishy. Are there really that many wid ows of lighthouse keepers still around? Or are some of the CIA agents in disguise? A $680,000 item for the U.S. Naval Academy's laundry service likewise would be a logical place to conceal a CIA appropriation. I You can conceal almost anything I in a Navy laundry bag. Other budgetary items that caught my eye ostensibly covered ! such activities as "brush dispo.. j sal" and the preservation of an- cient Nubian monuments. Offhand, S9 million seems like an awful lot of money for the government to be spending to get rid of brushes. And, an ancient Nubian monument sounds to me like a perfect hangout lor spies. UNCLE AL'S STORY CORNER by Alan Knudtson of KNUDTSONS' JEWELERS At first, it sounded like distant gunfire mingled with the shouting of several people. But, as the sounds appeared to be coming near er, Mary Langenberg stood up from her wild strawberry picking and called to her little brother Dan to listen. The shouts turned to whoops; and there was another sound running horses, lots of them! In the late 1870's, even in peace ful Douglas County, whoops lika that put breath-catching fear into anyone. To a girl in her early teens and a boy only four, the whoop of Indians recreated fears instilled by bad dreams left over from long evenings of story telling by their elders stories that recounted nar row escapes, battles, and terrible consequences of Indian encounters.
