Today's Commentary Common Market Bid Nearing For British By PHIL NEWSOM United Press International The moment of truth is ap proaching for Britain's bid to-join the European Common Market Those are the words of Brilisli Prime Minister Harold MacMillan himself. And if French President Charles De Gaulle's attitude does n't change. Britain’s chances for common market membership are no better than even, and perhaps less than even MUCH DEPENDS on the out come of protracted negotiations They are being emphasized by a flurry of conference taking Mac Millan to Rome, Italian Premier Fanfani to Washington, and Ger man Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder to London Until the issue is setlled. per haps within the next 60 to 9C days, the question of a common European defense policy must be held in abeyance, as must Euro pean political unity and negotia tions toward a freer world trade as seen under the United States Trade Expansion Act. Without a final decision, Brit ish businessmen have no way tc forecast the future and British foreign and domestic policy must remain at a standstill. At the center of this is De Gaulle, and to a lesser extent Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany. This week De Gaulle rejected both President Kennedy's offer of Polaris missiles for France and WORLD FOCUS UPI-AP REPORTS the Nassau Agreement on a multi national nuclear arsenal for NATO. He also sounded what could be the death knell for Bri tish entry into the common mar ket. Yet unless he is willing to stand totally alone, De Gaulle might not hold the final answer. DE GAULLE’S strategy has been aimed at ever closer ties with West Germany, and with this Adenauer has gone along, includ ing De Gaulle’s tough terms for British common market member ship. But Adenauer is a lame-duck chancellor. Schroeder wants Bri tain in the European family, as do a reported 80 per cent of the West German people. Italy, facing isolation in a Eu rope dominated by a Paris-Bonn axis not only favors Britain in the common market but also supports the idea of a multi-national nucle ar deterrent under NATO. In this, she is joined by most of the small nations of NATO, in eluding those who also are mem bers of the six-nation common market. These small nations want Bri tain inside the European commu nity as a counter-balance force to the big countries and have re fused to go along with the idea of European political unity until Bri tain’s membership has been ac cepted. Humphrey Predicts Win WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sena tor Hubert Humphrey predicts liberals will win their fight against filibusters. Humphrey, the Democratic whip, said he expects no vote on the measure until next week. In the House, Speaker John McCormack says the ways and means committee will start hear ings soon on President Kennedy’s tax cut bill. The President sub mits his budget Thursday for the year starting in July. AF Colonel Killed LONDON (UPI)—An Ameri can Air Force colonel was killed when his jet crashed dur ing a training flight in Britain. The victim was Colonel Wendell Kelly of Oklahoma City. First Lieutenant Paul Briggs of Arling ton, Va., survived the crash. TITEY ALSO are coming to the belief that some concessions should be made to British agri culture, even if it means re-open ing the hard-won agreements which the six finally reached among themselves just a year ago Present terms would require a total shift not only in Britain's relations with the Commonwealth and the system of British agricul tural supports. They also would mean an immediate jump of about 12 per cent in British food prices, conditions which Britain scarcely can meet. The next few weeks will be crucial ones both for NATO and the future of European unity. Hatfield Urges Passage Of Revision Proposal By DEN BESTE SALEM (AP)—Gov. Mark Hat field said Tuesday ha thought the legislature should pass the pro posal recommended by the state Constitution Revision Commis sion Hatfield asked for constitution al revision in his inaugural mes sage Monday, but did not specifi cally say the legislature should pass the commission's entire pro posal. HATFIELD also repeated his call for comprehensive tax re form. The major part of his pro posed tax change is a net re ceipts tax—which would tax low er income groups more. He said Freeman Has Chance SALEM (UPI) — Condemned child-slayer Jeannace June Free man seems assured of a stay of her scheduled January 29 execu tion Tuesday night as her law I yers lay the groundwork for an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court LEGAL machinery to grant the stay was launched after Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas gave the attorneys a 60-day exten | sion in which to file an appeal The old deadline had been Janu ary 23. The new one is March 15. 1 This afternoon attorneys Carl Neil and Philip Levin of Portland and William Holmes of Bend filed a motion in the Oregon Supreme Court asking that the court recall its mandate to the Jefferson Coun ty Circuit Court or issue a stay of execution. The State Supreme Court is considering the motion and a de cision is expected soon If the state court refuses to de lay the execution, the U S Su preme Court can order it to do so. at least until after the March 15 deadline. It would be the second stay of executio.’i for Miss Freeman, who originally was sentenced to die December 6. MISS FREEMAN was convicted of throwing six-year-old Larry Jackson to his death in the Crook ed River Gorge in Central Oregon in 1961. The governor’s office said today there has been a sudden increase in mail on the case. About 40 let ters a day are being received, most of them opposing her execu tion. Tuesday that proposal would be submitted to the legislature in the same form as last session. That bill would have elimin nted all deductions and provided for a rate of from two to six per cent, depending on the income bracket. A net receipts tax passed the House in the 1901 session, but amendments allowed for some deductions The Senate did not pass the bill. HATFIELD SAID he was in terested in the plan of Hep. Rich ard Eymann, D-Mohawk, to charge a local government in come tax to be collected by the state. It would olfset local prop erty taxes. It was at least a concrete pro posal. Hatfield said, but "I am not in favor of one level of gov ernment collecting money for an other level.” The governor, just starting his second term, called again for a special election during the legis lative session for the people to ratify a tax program. IN OREUON, no tux measure can take effect immediately after it is passed. If enough signatures are obtained to refer it, it does not go into effect until voted on.
