2 The Newi-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Wed., Aug., 14, 1963 Assurance Given Ban Wont Hurt Security Of US By WILLIAM THEIS .nd JOHN A. GOLDSMITH United PrsMS International WASHINGTON (UPl The chairman u the Atomic Energy Commission (AGO assured sena tors today that the nuclear test ban treaty would permit U.S. anti-missile weapons development and should improve, rather than jeopardize, American security. Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, testify ing in behalf oi the pact to outlaw all but underground testing, said this country "already has" a number of nuclear warheads eligible for use on anti-missile missiles. The Nobel Prize-winning physi cist, who discovered plutonium, said that if Russia broke the treaty the United States could re sume atmospheric "proof tests" of nuclear weapons in "perhaps a month." Development tests would take three months to start and effects tests would take from three to six months, he said. But Seaborg emphasized that this country might "not want to test that soon" because it has 18 vears of experience and has made "hundreds of tests." Appraising the overall military effect ot the pact, MeaDorg toio the three-committee group con sidering the treaty: "There are some risks but they are minor. In the balance, I think it is in favor of improving the security of this country if County To Get Forestry Funds An allocation of $289,000 for Doug las County is included in a total $8,719,000 of the accelerated public works funds . projects for 92 for estry conservation jobs in more than 100 counties in 24 states, ac cording to announcement by Secre tary of Interior Stewart L. Udall today. Murl Storms, Bureau of Land Management manger at Roscburg, said that of the sum allocated for Douglas County, approximately $8 000 is designated for the Coos Bay Bay district and another $16,000 for the Eugene district, leaving rough ly $183,000 to be spent within (he county. He staled the work Involves sev eral activities, principal among Ihciti being 3,400 acres of reforesta tion in various parts of the coun ty; 100 acres of slash disposal in the north end of the county, some in the Eugene district; 1,400 acres of snag felling, and 180 acres of brush spraying to release small trees to grow. There also will be some fencing authorized primarily where livestock is involved. Storms said most of this work will be done by contractors, with bids to be called probably in late September. The reforestation work will have to wait until trees can be taken from the nursery, and snag felling and slash disposal will be done mostly after the fire sea son ends. Labor for the work is to be re cruited from the areas affected. Eight other Oregon counties are included among the allocation ap provals.

PH. 832-5270 Glendale you approve the treaty." Politically, he said he believed that "the people of the United States want a treaty of this sort" and that they "regard it as a step along the road toward casing tensions' and slowing the arms race. His endorsement followed sim lar strong support given the pact by two Kennedy administration cabinet officers, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara Seaborg said he hoped the U.S., Britain and Russia "would seek ways of modifying the treaty" in the future to make way for above-ground peaceful uses of nuclear energy. In weapons development Sea borg said the treaty limits "only the complete development of new types of very large weapons above several megatons in yield." He said such development would be very difficult if possible at all. But he said this country already has tested weapons as large as a yield of "about IS megatons." This compares with Russia's de velopment of a nuclear device above SO megatons. Seaborg said he agreed with McNamara and others that a larger number of smaller bombs can "do the job better" against an enemy than single super bombs of upwards of 100 megatons, the highly-touted Soviet maximum. Russell Questions Seaborg Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., chairman of the Armed Services Committee, asked Seaborg if he felt that, with solution of other development problems, this coun try could develop an effective anti-missile missile system with out atmospheric tests. "Yes, I do," Seaborg said, add ing that "this certainly can be developed underground." We already have a number of warheads eligible for this pur pose, ' he said. "We can improve and develop new warheads. This can be done by underground tests." Seaborg conceded it would not he possible to get "substantial further information" on the so called "blackout phenomenon" nuclear impact on space com munications because atmo spheric tests will be banned. But he said the United States already has "obtained a good deal of in formation" on this problem in past high-altitude tests. Russell asked him about re' ports that radiation cfects . on milk from nuclear fallout is twice what it was three years ago. Sea borg said that in some sections of the country there is probably twice the strontium-90 there was three years ago but said this is a "considerable distance" from the point of endangering human life. Seaborg said the United States would stand ready at all times to resume testing in the atmo sphere if the Soviet Union should break the treaty. Well Child Clinic Set Friday In Riddle Dr, James K. Gray, new Doug las County health officer, will con duct the Riddle Well Child Clinic this Friday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Episcopal Parish Hall..

Air Force's T-38 "Talon" arrived at the Douglas County Fairgrounds Tuesday to be erected in time for the opening of the County Fair today. But it didn't fly in. Instead, it came by low boy truck. It is expected to be a focal point of the fair, since it is the fastest climbing jet trainer the Air Force has. Looming up behind it is the fair's "rocket" showing the fair is also becoming a "space age" event. (News-Review photo) House Ways, For Everybody's Income Tax Next Jan. 1 WASHINGTON (UPI) The House Ways St Means Committee voted 19 to 4 today to cut every body's income taxes starting Jan. 1. The tax rate reductions recom mended by President Kennedy would average 20 per cent and cost the Treasury $9.5 billion in revenue when fully effective on Jan. 1, 1005. The net tax relief would aver gc less than 19 per cent. Sav ings for some taxpayers would be reduced by lax-tightening pro visions. This probably would hold the net revenue loss from indivi dual tax relief below $9 billion. Still facing the committee were showdown votes on the President's recommendations for reductions in corporation tax levies. Ken nedy's over-all lax program is de signed to provide net reductions of $10.6 billion for both indivi-1 duals and corporations. ' In today s committee action on individual lax rates the closest vote came on a Republican move to make the second stage of the two-stage tax reduction contingent upon the size of the national debt on July l. taut. This motion was defeated on a J3 to 12 vote. It was offered by Hen. Howard H.

Earlier, Republican congres sional leaders expressed doubt that a tax cut would be enacted by Congress this year. They cited long delay in whip ping such a bill into shape in the House Ways & Means Committee and other probable delays in the future. They said this reflected an indication that most Ameri cans don't want a tax cut unless federal spending also is pared. Senate Republican Leader Ev Touchy Work Back In Lap Of WASHINGTON (UPI) The! touchy railroad work rules dis-1 ptite appeared today to have been dumped hack in the lap of a re luctant Congress. Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirt, announced Tuesday night the collapse of collective bargain ing talks he had been holding with union and rail negotiators. Until Senate and House Com merce committees, which had been considering President Ken nedy's proposal that the work rules impasse be settled by the Interstate Commerce Com mission, suspended action pend ing outcome of Wirt?.' attempt to get the parties to settle it them- selves. Collapse of the talks indicated! pressure , would be back on Con- ing (o bargain realistically. The situation sounded considerably like it did late last month when the railroads agreed to postpone for 30 days imposition of new work rules that would eliminate so called "fealherbedding" jobs and practices and touch off a strike. The moratorium on work rules changes ends Aug. 29. Hearings by the committees produced hitler union reaction to the administration proposal, which the railroads have en dorsed. It was this politically 'ex plosive reaction and subsequent comment from congressmen that more collective bargaining was in order that prompted Wirtz to or ganize the new talks mote than ' a week ago. ! The unexpected breakdown of ! (he talks came as the railroad ! firemen's union assembled 140 j members of its policy making ' committee here at the behest of j Wirtz so they would he on hand j to accept any agreement reached in the talks. The group would i have to decide at a meeting to- day whether to stay around in hopes the new deadlock could be ' broken or return home. Appeals To Both Wirtz appealed to both sides to I consider again changing their j positions and said prospects of I settlement depended entirely on i one side or the other making a concession. But J. r. Wolfe, chief rai'read nccotintor, said flatly that gotiated agreement is hopeless. II. K. Gilbert, president of the firemen's union, said Wolfe was saying "no settlement on other than our (railroad) terms." If Wolfe's statement is final, Gilbert said, the five unions have no choice but to prepare for a nationwide walkout the minute the work rules arc posted. Wolfe said the railroads had agreed in imposing the new work rules to "protect those now work ing" and to. accept the principle that jobs would be eliminated by attrition normal retirement or resignation but charged that the union would eliminate jods Diesel Engine RE-BUILDING AND TUNE - UP DIESEL INJECTION SERVICE 1750 N E. St.ph.na 673-6156 O i erett Dirksen, III., and House GOP Leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind., in one of their periodic joint news conferences, said the only way President Kennedy can get the tax bill moving and assure its passage this year is to an nounce that he is cutting his budget. Democratic leaders have insist ed that Congress will be kept in session until Christmas if neces sary to enact the tax bill and some other priority legislation including a new civil rights measure. Rules Issue Congress at a A rate lower than attrition, union spokesman charged that the unions answered Wirtz' request for a fresh statement of its views during the talks but "wo didn't get anything back from the railroads." Oregon Fire Is Controlled By United Press International A 125-acre grass and watershed blaze on McKay Creek, about 30 miles southeast of Pendleton, was controlled today. State forestry officials in Salem said it was one of 16 blazes re ported Tuesday on state super vised forest and rangclands. Also controlled was an 80-acre grass and brush blaze in the Wa terman Flat area near Mitchell, and a 40-a ere fire near Medical Springs southeast of La Grande. Of the 1G fires reported Tues day on state land, 10 were caused by lightning. One of the man-caused fires was a seven-acre blaze in the Clackamas-Marion district which result ed from debris burning. The U.S. Forest Service report ed some 200 small fires broke out in national forests of Oregon and Washington Monday night and Tuesday, most of them set by lightning.

Artichokes - a5v ADM: P Bircher Says Contradictory Leslie Fleming, state coordina tor of the John Birch Society, Tues day night leveled a blistering at tak . n the United Nationa and said the League of Women Voters has been supporting the U. N. "without bothering to read and an alyze your own material." Fleming referred to two publica tions, Facts And Issues, and The National Voter, and said the League of Women Voters' own mi terial contradicts itself and pointl out the real answers to the U. N. issues. He referred to a question in the September 1962 issue of The Na tional Voter; "Do The Russians Control The U. N.?" The answer he said was that there are 104 members with one vote each, and it is impossible for any one nation to control the U. N. "Still Facts and Issues turns right and tells us there is only one true block in the U. N. Red," he said. Vet. Never Used "Their (LWV) material also says the U.S. can veto any resolution," he continued, "and yet we have never used our veto. Russia has used a veto over 100 times. Adlai Stevenson refers to the U. N. as a family of nations.' Now, if I'm the wage earner and have a wife and children and mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law vetoes every move I want to make who really runs the family? My mother-in- law runs it by virtue of her veto, the same way the Communists are able to run the U. N." The next question he took up was whether or not the U. N. was a hotbed of Communist spies. "They (LWV) say 72 per cent of the 4,000 employes arc from friendly na tions, although they don t tell us which nations comprise this list of 'friendly, he said. "Even if we go along with this figure, this means 28 per cent of them, or 1, 120 are communists. 'Is that or is it not a nest of communist spies?" Communist Holds Post On the question of whether the Soviets control U. N. military at- fairs, Fleming pointed out one man who has access to the U. N. mili tary information is the under sec retary in charge of political ana so curity affairs. "This post has been held by communists throughout the history of the U.N.," he said, and listed several of those who have held the job. "This little arrangement was made for us by Alger Hiss," he said. "Isn't that just swell, the way he fixed us up?" "Maybe this is why Gen. McAr thur complained the enemy knew his plans in Korea before he made a move. Homing asserted. At this point, Fleming looked into the group that heard him speak at the Umpqua Hotel in Roseburg and said he hoped there were some members of the League of Women Voters present. "What burns me up," he said, "is you can't put two and two together and come up with four instead of some other screwy figure." On the cost . of operating the. U.N., and the share paid by the United States, Fleming pointed to the "gradual reduction in our share of the cost. "In 1S46, we paid 39.89 per cent, or some $8 million in the general operating budget." he said. "In 1962, we paid 32.02, or a total of 26 million. Now that s really some reduc tion!" Millions Spent He also asserted this was only Suicide Indicated In Millard Death The body of Melvin Edward Mil lard, 62, of Lakcview, was brought out of the high mountain area of the North Umpqua Tuesday, after ' fishermen discovered the body on . Lava Creek about lMi miles east of Stump Lake. Millard was the object of search after an abandoned car in the vi cinity was identified as belonging to him. Millard had not been seen since Aug. 2 when he visited his ex-wife at Brigg's Camp. An empty holster for a .22 calibre pistol was found in the car seat. Search for Millard's body was started Monday, and was to be re sumed Tuesday, but early morning fishermen on Lava Creek stumbled onto the badly decomposed re mains. The sheriff's office was notified and deputies, accompanied by Douglas County medical examiner Dr. James K. Gray, went to the scene Tuesday morning. Dr. Gray stated that the death was ruled a suicide, as the gun of Millard was found beside the body. The body was brought out by Long tc Shukle Memorial Chapel and will be taken to Osterman Fu neral Home in Lakeview for serv ices. Millard was born Jan. 20. 1901, in Colorado, and had engaged in ranching at Lakeview.

(News-Review phclc) Letter Writer Says Loot From Train Overestimated LONDON (UPI) A letter writ er named "Charlie" who may have been one of the mail train robbers today publicly twitted po lice who were centering their search on the rural hideaway used by the ijiost successful robbery gang of all time. A letter written to the London Evening News accused police of overstating the amount of loot from last Thursday's $7 million robbery. This was dishonest, said the let ter writer who signed himself merely as "Charlie" and claimed he knew the actual amount that was stolen. The newspaper turned the let ter over to police who were searching the farmhouse that was used by the robbers as a staging area and counting house. When the police swooped down on the house Tuesday the robbers had fled with the loot, but they left behind some tell-tale signs, such as the mail sacks stolen from the train after it was ambushed near Chcddinglon. wmmvfr - i v t - - KaomiViiSKBssssssissssssssssi IP 1 '-Sw .' : ' Pick a house...any house...

"And you ladies (LWV) can sup port this sort of fair play:" he asked. "The Russian people, the North Korean people etc., are not our enemies," Fleming said. "It is the international communist conspir acy which is our enemy.'! "We' have to abolish the U. N. and tell the Soviets we no longer rexognize them," he said. "T h e recongize them," he said. "The people themselves will do the rest. Even Hitler at his worst did not have to put up barbed wire to keep them in." "For your information, and to anybody else interested," said the letter to the Evening News "the total gained from this exercise was exactly 2,095,324 pounds ($5, ; 866, 907.20) and a sprained ankle." "Charlie" complained about re ports that the amount stolen from the mail train last Thursday was "over 2,600 pounds (over $7 mil lion)." Scotland Yard detective Supt.
