Mark Hatfield Friday to help them get rid of restrictions they say give Canadia-i lumber a competitive advantage In East Coast lumber markets. Hatfield said only that he had assigned Warne Kunn, his ad ministrative assistant, to study the problem and would not take any specific action until he had the completed report. Hatfield said he was meeting Jan. 18 in Vancouver, Wash., with Govs. Albert Rosellinj of Washington and Robert Smylie oi Idaho to discuss salmon and that they may also be able to discuss the timber problem. The chief spokesman for the 18 lumbermen present was Robert F. Dwyer, Portland, Dwy er Lumber & Plywood Co., who asked Hatfield to call a con ference of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and California governors. "We appear here before vou. Gov. Hatfield, to inform you of the crisis that faces the lumber industry in Oregon and the Pa cific Northwest," he said.

J r i CZSk-.V 'j. rj.yjU.Jjl 'Round the State Market Dwyer described the Eastern seaboard of the United States from Baltimore north with its somo SO million people as the world's greatest lumber market. He s.-iid between 1951 and I960 Canadian mills shipped but 30 per cent of the lumber for the market but in the first 11 months of 1961 shipped 56 per cent of the market s lumber. Don Bellamy, Rainier Manu facturing Co., Rainier, Ore., said his firm, a major supplier on the Los Angeles market, may close Its Rainier mill and buy Canadian lumber. He said major firms such as Crown Zcllcrbach Corp. already are shipping Canadian lumber into the Los Angeles market. Lumber Piling Up Dwyer said the competition in the East and in Los Angeles is backing up lumber that ormal ly goes to those markets and provides increased competition In the Midwest and even in Portland. He said the chief need is for tho governors and congressmen of tho five slates to urge the national administration to modi fy the Jones Act. It call" for U. S. lumber to be shipped in u. S. registered ships. He said Canadian shippers, un restricted by the act, can move lumber in foreign ships at rates $7 to $11 a thousand feet less than U. S. rates. Other major firms represent ed included Georgia Pacific Corp., Simpson Timber Co. and Al Pierce Lumber, Coos Bay. Planning Study Scheduled On Economic Development SALEM On Unless new industry is attracted to Oregon many youths will have to leave in search of jobs in the next eight years, Gov. Mark Hatfield said Friday. Hatfield spoke before assembled state officials who will aid in a statewide planning study aimed at establishing guidelines for the orderly economic development of the state. Growth is going to come, Hatfield said, and it would be bet ter to have orderly growth. Tho governor described the young people as Oregon's No. 1 resource and said 300,000 of them will reach 18 between 1962 and 1970. They will represent an educational investment of $1.5 billion, he said. Hatfield said the study will be financed by a $108,000 grant from the federal government and $54,000 in state funds which will come in tho form of per sonnel services provided by various state agencies. Samuel H. Mallicoat, plan ning and development director. said about 30 state agencies will participate in the study under the guidance of the Planning and Development Department. said if there were not any further trespasses the contempt citation might be dropped.

Katanga Problem Complex . . What Is U.S. Policy? More Congo Questions and Answers EDITOR'S NOTE This is the second of two groups of questions and answers deal ing with the situation in the Congo especially the con troversial aspects of U.N. ac tion in Katanga. The answers, based on the best available in formation supplied by public records and observations on the scene, are a symposium of three AP writers, Lynn Heinzerling, Max Harrelson and William L. Ryan. No Action Planned VALE Wl Malheur County authorities said Friday that no action will be taken against the mother of a chid whose body was found buried next to the family home in nearby Nyssa. District Atty. E. Otis Smith said a Boise, Idaho pathologist reported that the two-day-old infant died of natural causes. The mother, Mrs. Panfilla de la Rosa, told officers earlier that she delivered the baby herself Oct. 12, 1961. It died the follow ing day, she said, and she buried it next to her home. Mrs. Dc la Rosa, the mother of seven other children, is charged with larceny in a store in connection with tho theft of $250 from a Nyssa grocery.

Tho bulk of the estate was Br ASSOCIATED PRE88 More questions and answers to fill in the background of the ungo-Katanga situation: . Q. Why can't Katanga, invok ing the principle of self-determ ination, simply declare itself an independent nation? A. No country in the world has been willing to recognize Katanga as a separate entity. In the U.N., various Security Coun cil and General Assembly reso lutions firmly opposed separa tion of Katanga from the rest of the Congo. The only ques tion open for discussion, so far as the U. N.'s 104 members were concerned, was how Katanga would fit into the national Con go framework. Would it get broad autonomy in a confedera tion or be placed under a strong central government? Even Bel gium, most outspoken supporter ot Moise I shorn be, accepted the idea that Katanga belongs with in the Congo. Foreign minister Paul-Henri Spaak told the Se curity Council in November: We are against the secession of Katanga . . . We are con vinced that the future of the Congo depends on reconcilia tion and the return of the pro vince of Katanga to the Repub lic of the Congo. Q. What is U. S. policy try ing to accomplish in Katanga? A. Secretary of State Dean Rusk has said Katanga seces sion could plunge the Congo into anarchy and open the door wide to the Communists. The United States appears to view the issue as a matter of peace ful integration of all the Con go or violent civil war. The United States probably does not consider it wise to attempt unification by force but has supported the idea of evicting Tshombe's white political and military advisers by force, to deprive him of a most effective asset: It is doubtful Katanga could effectively without white technicians and advisers in most government departments. The announced U. N. aim has been to oust white advisers who have been resisting U. N. resolu tions on the Congo. In addition, Washington seems to fear that Katanga's sesession could lead to other breakaways. Let Katanga Secede? Q. Why not just let Katanga secede and be done with it? A. The U. S. feeling appears to be that Katanga's mineral wealth is vital to the Congo, to levied against the rancher. He left to relatives. Air Force to Interview Here For Foreign School Positions Elementary school teachers in terested in overseas teaching as signments will be interviewed by Air Force representatives in Eugene Jan. 27, according to James II. Bagan, manager of the State Employment Office in Eu gene. Interviews will be conducted beginning at 9 a.m. In the em ployment service's new offices in the newly finished State Of fice Building at 680 Pearl St. Teachers wishing to be inter viewed should make prior ar rangements with the employ ment office, Bagnn said. Information is now available at tho office concerning mini mum requirements and what materials arc necessary at the time of the interview. The Air Force has indicated it is primar ily interested in unmarried teachers. Especially needed are teach ers of mathematics, science, remedial reading, guidance and library science, special educa tion, and music. Dormitory coun selors also arc needed. Teachers accepting the Air Force positions will be assigned to overseas schools to teach the children of United States mili tary personnel and civilian employes. shore it up against threats of communist infiltration and eventual Soviet bloc domina tion. For example, Katanga would have provided, in the first year of independence, about $100 million. half the Congo budget had there been no secession attempt. Instead, it provided nothing. Q. How about the reactions of NATO allies? A. Britain had grave misgiv ings about U.S. support of the Katanga action. Fear was ex pressed in London that the U.S. decision could prove a costly blunder risking evertu al Communist victory through defeat of the strongest anti Communist force in the Congo, the Katanga government of Tshombe. The British seemed to feel the U. N. should not im pose political solutions by force. Prime Minister Mac millan noted that if Tshombe were destroyed, the U. N. would find itself "with a province as large as France on its hands and no means at all of govern ing it." Similar misgivings were expressed in France and Belgium, both of whom have important interests in Katanga's mineral wealth. Portugal, an other colonial power, fears the effect of Congo events on An gola. Q. What was the Kitona Pact and what was the U.S. role? A. At Kitona Tshombe prom ised to accept the authority of the central government. Ed mund A. Gullion, U. S. ambas sador to Leopoldville, flew to Elisabethville, Katanga capital, and persuaded Tshombe to make the trip to Kitona. Tshombe jockeyed a bit, backing away from the Kitona declaration. He finally agreed to accept most of it, including the fundamental law under which the Congo is supposed to be governed. He had participat ed in the writing of that con stitution in Brussels before in dependence in 1960. Kitona brought a truce but there ap peared to be a long process of bargaining ahead.

VALLEY (Junction City) A Thunder of Drums and Konga, 7:15. Q. Why doesn't the Congo government use its own armed forces to end the Katanga se cession? A. The Congo has about 25, 000 troops (apart from Katan ga). The army commander, Gen. Joseph Mobutu at best can hope to control about 17,000. The other 8,000 are controlled by Gen. Victor Lundula, who has been at Stanleyville with Antoine Gizenga. The Congo has neither the means nor the equipment for the job. But there were indications that Gen. Lundula was drawing closer to Mobutu. Q. What about the effect on the rest of Africa? A. There is considerable worry. In the federation of Rho desia and Nyasaland, Prime Min ister Sir Roy Welensky has put forward the view that the west is losing the struggle for influ ence in Africa. He says the United States and Britain should do all in their power to keep Africa's strategic ports and re sources available to the West. He fears that vacuums will be created by premature with drawals of colonial authority. These views probably are shared by many in Britain and Western Europe as well as by white population in Africa. Kennedy Criticized Q. Some circles in the United States criticize Kennedy ad ministration actions in Katanga. What about that? A. Basis of criticism is main ly the expressed fear that by defeating Tshombe, the U.N. support will have helped pave the way for a Communist take over of all the Congo. Richard M. Nixon, claiming Kennedy policies created an "incredible mess" in the Congo, called the U. S. support of the action "the worst foreign policy blunder since the handling of the Cuba invasion." Sen. Thomas J. Dodd D-Conn., described the U. N. action as "naked aggression.1 Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz. called the policy suicidal. These comments echoed senti ments of some private citizens and organized groups. The policy had its defenders inside and outside Congress. Nixon's 1960 running mate. former U. N. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, said that if the U. N. force had not been set up to enter Katanga "there is no doubt in my mind that the Rus sians would have tried to go in and we might have done what we could to prevent that, and we might have had another Korea." Secretary Rusk said neither the United States nor the U. N. was attempting to im pose any political or economic system on the Congo. Under secretary of State George W. Hall argued that the U.N. ac tion prevented Soviet domina tion m the Congo. He said there was "no legal political, economic and moral case" for the Tshom be secession. Q. What has supported Tshombe in his opposition to unification? A. First of all, Tshombe's own armed forces, with white of ficers and European - manned planes, were a source of strength, in addition, he had both economic and political sup port at home and abroad. Conor Cruise O'Brien of Ireland, who resigned as chief U.N. official Katanga, claimed Britain undercut U.N. activities there. Carl Rowan, deputy assistant secretary of state for public affairs, in a prepared text ac cused the Union Miniere of widespread propaganda activity and lobbying on behalf of Tshombe. A State Department spokesman later said the speech was "not cleared at the highest level of the department." It was obvious much of Tshombe's strength stemmed from Katan ga s own riches and Union Miniere power. In addition, the secession movement drew sup port from sources such as the Rhodcsia-Nyasaland federation, the Congo's neighbor. At least, it was moral support. Union Miniere Q. Just what is the Union Miniere? What is its role in these events? A. The Union Miniere du Haut Katanka is a powerful mining and development com pany which provides 60 per cent of Katanga's state income and could provide nearly half the state income for the entire Congo. Its control, about 54 per cent, is in the hands of anonymous shareholders. The rest is held by the Congolese state, the Belgian Societe Gen eral de Belgique Bank. The chief U.N. officer in the Congo, Sture Linner, told U.S. headquarters the Union Miniere Open 7: JO Muvie al 8 Mil, EXODUS AT KE:l'I.AR PRICES allowed its installations to be used for attacks against U.N. personnel in Elisabethville. He said U. N. troops were fired on by mortars and machine guns from points on Union Miniere property. Union Miniere head quarters denied all charges, in cluding allegations of political and military activities. Q. What does the Congo opera tion cost and who foots the bill? A. The operation costs the U.N. approximately $10 million a month. The total up to the end of 1961 was $160 million, well over twice the cost of the U.N.'s general budget for a year. All 104 members of the world organization have been assessed proportionate . shares, but the refusal of 68 countries to pay anything has plunged the U.N. into a financial crisis. The deficit on the Congo operation, $75 million, would have been substantially larger if the United States and a few others had not made voluntary contri butions in addition to their as sessed shares. Among those re fusing to pay were the Soviet bloc, France and Belgium. The Soviet Union alone owed $20 million for 1960-1961. Some, like the Russians and the French objected to the U.N.'s role; some simply pleaded pov erty. The U.N. hopes to meet the crisis temporarily by a $200 million longterm bond issue, but this will still leave the basic problem unsolved. Future Prospects Q. What are the prospects? A. It will be a long, uphill struggle. The Congo still lacks the administrative sinews and educated core needed to make a nation live. Tshombe can be ex pected to try to keep a measure of autonomy, or to convert the Congo into some sort of loose federation. U. S. spokesmen pic ture the central Congolese pre mier, Cyrille Adoula, as a mod erate non-communist with a le gitimate claim to govern. The United States likely would ac cept some form of decentraliza tion but opposes the idea of se cession at will. Some in the United States and abroad had expressed fear the Katanga ac tion would mean a strengthened hand for Gizenga. But this month its own political group. the African solidarity party, an nounced Gizenga was no long er its president. A large ma jority, backing the resolution, clearly indicated disenchant ment among Gizenga's following. There were indications a move would be started to eject Gizen ga from the post of deputy pre mier he accepted from Adoula's central government in Leopold ville in August. This down grading of the man the Rus sions claim to regard as Patrice Lumumba's rightful heir could prove a stinging blow to Com munism hopes in the Congo.
