12 The Nwi-Review, Roteburg, Ore. Thurt., Oct. 10, 1963 House Rules Committee Was Arena For Bracero Program Return Bout WASHINGTON (UPI) The Rules Committee was the arena Wednesday for round one of a bitter return match in the house over the controversial "bracero" program. The committee was expected to clear for floor action a bill to ex tend the Mexican migrant work ers program for one more year. The Democratic leadership has not yet decided when to call up the bill for a vote. It could come next week. On May 29 opponents of the program pulled a stunning upset and convinced the house that the 12-year-old ' law permitting im portation of Mexican farmhands should be allowed to die a natural death on Dec. 31. The vote was 174 to 158. The chief strategist for the bill conceded recently that the pro -braceri forces were overconfident last spring. But Rep. E. C. Gathing, D-Ark. said the result would be different the second time around because of harder work on the part of his group. Opponents report that increased "pressures" are being brought to bear on doubtfuls by the big west ern and southwestern growers who favor the program. One antibracero congressman said the situation was "fluid" and that the vote could go either way. A similar statement was made privately by a member of the other group. A switch of nine votes could have changed the outcome of last May's vote. While it was felt that the 100 absentees were about evenly split on the issue, both sides are working hard to hold their lines firm. Opponents of the program sway ed the house by effectively argu ing that the program had long outlived its purpose as an emer gency measure to provide labor during the Korean War. They fought it on moral grounds and charged that it served to de prive American migrants of jobs and to exploit the Mexicans. They believe that many mem- Quirks In The News By United Press International MANCHESTER, England (UPI) The trial of Samuel Waters, 25, accused of wounding with intent to murder, was postponed Tues day when lawyers said Waters was under treatment for a razor blade and water glass fragments he swallowed in prison. bers, who had been voting for the program in the past on the assur ance that il was the last time they would he asked to, finally rebelled. But gatherings asserted that ! when the measure comes up again i the house will approve it because the members "will know that the 'fruit and vegetable prices will go up if we dont have the laborers to work the farms." I Opponents reply that there are Americans whi will do the work if they receive a decern wage. The House in May rejected a straight two - year extension ap proved by the Agriculture Com mittee, which is dominated by farm interests. This time the committee approv ed only a one-year extension. The Senate narrowly approved a one - year extension but with several liberalizing amendments that would provide domestic mi grants with some of the same pro tections now guaranteed the Mexi cans. The House Agriculture Commit tee refused to accept these amend ments. Opponents feel it is just as well. They believe they have a better chance to defeat that measure than the one passed by the Senate.

CHIHAUHUA, Mexico (UPI) "River runners" are a hardy breed. So, predictably, a group of American adventurers vowed to day they would return someday in another attempt to conquer the wild Barranca de Cobre country of northwestern Mexico. The Barranca defeated and held them prisoner for 11 days, but they enjoyed it. Bill Roylance of Salt Lake City probably summed up the feelings of the members of his party aft er their joust with the treacher ous Urrique River and its mon strous boulders. "We got what we came for the unexpected and that is what adventure is," Roylance said. "But if we had known about the boulders we might not have come." Their boats were loo heavy and waterfalls 75 feet high sent them spinning. "After awhile we were measur ing distances in yards rather than miles," said Leroy Ses sions, 59, a Salt Lake City me chanic. It took only two days in the TREATMENT IN REVERSE NEWARK, N.J. (UPD-Albert Johnson, an automobile salesman gave a prospective customer the full treatment Tuesday. He invit ed the man to his home, served him coffee and took him for a trial run. But when they reached Branch Brook Park, the customer pulled out a pistol, handcuffed the sales man, tied him with a rope and shoved him into some bushes. He then took Johnson's wallet and drove off in the automobile. I Sierra Madre Country before "we knew we were in for an ordeal," I said Al Morton, 58, also of Salt I Lake City.
