But he said:
"If Estrade attempts to come

Estrada came to the United

residence. He had obtained the
visa from a U.S. consul in the
Dominican republic, but the Im

it. Estrada was admitted on pa

Revolt Against
Presbyterian
Merger Fails
PITTSBURGH (AP)-A handful
of churches Tuesday staged a last-
ditch revolt against the union of
two long separated families of
Presbyterians. But it was roundly
defeated.
The move came at a final as
sembly of the United Presbyterian I
Church. It merges Wednesday,
with thm PrchvtArt.n Phnrrth 4n '
the U.S.A.
Delegates overwhelmingly
turned down a maneuver that
would have given individual con
gregations a go-ahead to walk out
of the union and take buildings
and other church assets with
them. ,
After the insurgents lost out, the
Rev. Clifford Smith Of Lebanon,
Pa., made an appeal for them to
join wholeheartedly tn the com
bined church.
"I was once a part of the seDar-
atist movement," he said. "I was
wrong. I have a personal desire
to save these congregations from
the frustrations I experienced."
The two denominations are
forming a consolidated church of
more thair three million members,
fourth largest in U.S. Protestant
ism. Hitchhiker

with subcommittee reports that
had picked up a few clerical er

$400 and budgeted $900 for a stu
dent internship in city government.
The budget now will be put in

to a June 23 final public hearing
at City Hall.

Here are changes ordered by the
18-member committee headed by
Alderman E. E. Roth and appoint-
ed according to law:
City manager budget was in-
creased bv 31.000 uoon recommend -
ation from Mayor Robert F. White margin a one-year contract exten
that Manager Mathewson's retire- slon with no wage increase, but
ment annuity be increased,
White said Mathewson, 40. had
come to Salem expecting to have
retirement benefits under the state
retirement system which then
covered the previous city manager,
J. L. Franzen. But a change in
retirement law prevented this so
the city budgetmakers last year
appropriated for an annuity insur
ance policy, in the city's name,
that would provide $60 monthly in
come for Mathewson at age 60.
H'jher Retirement
To increase this to $123 monthly
benefits upon retirement, , the bud-
git committee last night at City
all appropriated $650 for added
annual premium cost plus $350
added salary for the manager to
partially offset the higher income
tax he will have to pay in connec
tion with the new policy. This
boosts the manager's salary to
$14,563, which Mayor White said
Is below average on the Pacific
Coast.
Because East Salem annexation
was defeated by voters, the budget -
makers cut $18,500 from sewer and
water budget items earmarked for
that area. But revenues also were
cut because most- of the work
would have been' paid for by the
property owners, so no savings re
sulted. This did have the effect, how
ever, of bringing the overall budget
figure down to $4,370,000.
Fear Fund Changes
Four changes in general fund
items resulting in lowering tho
emergency fund by $2,100, making
it 339,500, compared with last
year's $37,000.
These changes were cutting a
city engineering office furniture
outlay from $800 to $400; adding
the extra $1,000 to city manager's
DM
budget; adding $600 to correct
