Trade: Landmark for Demos in a Legislative Desert
Bv JOE HAM.
Of the AuocUted Preia
WASHINGTON President'
Kennedy and his party can point
to the trade expansion bill as
landmark legislation, but other
wise the record of the 1962 Con
gress is disappointing to many
Democrats.
This was the private view ex
pressed Friday by a number of
Democrats working on the ap
peals' they plan to make this
fall to voters.
Several said frankly that they
will be talking more about what
Congress did last year than in
the session now inching to a
close.
While there was unanimity
that the far-ranging trade bill
will give this Congress a place
in the history books, there even
was dissatisfaction with the han
dling of this legislation.
Some members said the ad
ministration underestimated the
basic support for the bill, par
ticularly among leading busi
ness elements, and thus wasted
too much ammunition on it.
"If they had just saved a little
of that effort for the health
care for the aged bill . . . "said
one senator.
The trade bill cleared the Sen
ate 78-7 Wednesday and awaits
virtually certain final approval
in conference. The House passed
the measure by a big vote in
June.
The health care proposal was
beaten in the Senate 52-48. Its
sponsors figured a switch of one
vote could have saved it because
at least one Democratic senator
w ho voted no had pledged to go
the other way if his position
were decisive.
The White House also devoted
much of its effort in the 1962
session to Kennedy's big tax re
vision and succeeded in saving
its most important feature.
This is the investment credit
provision designed as a $1 bil
lion incentive to American com
panies to modernize their
plants.
As in the case of trade, many
Democrats insist this bill has no
broad political appeal and even
is a liability in some respects.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey,
D-Minn., and other Democratic
leaders insist the present ses
sion will wind up with a respec
table record.
They point to measures signed
into law manpower retraining,
expansion of the Peace Corps,
the $900-million public works
bill, and the legislation aimed at
rehabilitation of persons on the
public assistance rolls.
The leaders say several other
important bills will be sent to
Kennedy before adjournment.
Besides the trade and tax
bills, they predict these will
include drug regulation, a farm
measure even though it is in a
watered-down form and a mass
immunization bill.
Administration end-oftheses-sion
hopes were dampened con
siderably Thursday with a House
vote to send back to conference
the $2.35 billion federal aid for
colleges bill.
Most supporters figure the
hill now is dead, although some
attempt may be made to hold
another conference.
Democratic leaders also have
had to virtually write off two
other measures which only re
cently they listed as "musts"
a youth employment bill and a
$500 million mass transit sub
sidy proposal.
On civil rights, the adminis
tration lost its major proposal
a bill that would have abolished
literacy tests which keep Ne-
groes in some areas from vot
ing. Kennedy measures beaten or
shunted aside would have con
tinued the program of extra un
employment compensation bene
fits, set up a cabinet-level ur
ban affairs department and giv
en him standby authority to cut
taxes in an economic slump.
Democrats said they will point
to the passage last year of such
broad legislation as the de
pressed areas bill, the minimum
wage bill and the bill to in
crease social security benefits.

Saturday, Sunday
Clinics to Offer
Type II Vaccine
A drive to immunize Lane County residents against polio
will come to a climax this weekend with the third and final
aeries of mass oral vaccine clinics.
The clinics, sponsored by the Lane County Medical Society,
will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at
ten different locations in the county.
Type II polio vaccine will be offered.
This is not the type of vaccine which has been questioned
by the U.S. Public Health Service. The public health service
last week recommended a temporary halt in the use of Type
III vaccine for adults pending further study.
Lane County residents received Type III vaccine during
the mass clinics held last June. Type I vaccine was adminis
tered in clinics last May. No cases of polio have been reported
in Lane County this year.
With the completion of this weekend's clinics, persons who
received all three types of vaccine will have been immunized
against all three types of polio.
Persons who purchased coupon books for the earlier clinics
need only to bring the last coupon with them to receive the
vaccine. Those who do not have coupon books may purchase
individual doses of Type II vaccine at the individual clinic
sites. Doses of the other types of vaccine, may be obtained
from private physicians.
There will be no make-up clinic for those who miss the
regular clinics Saturday and Sunday.
The ten clinics will be located as follows: South Eugene
High, E. 19th Avenue and Ferry Street; North Eugene High,
200 Silver Lane in the River Road district; Thomas Jefferson
Junior High, 1650 W. 22nd Ave.; Willamette High, 1801 Echo
Hollow Rd., in the Bethel district; Springfield Senior High,
Tenth and H Streets; Siuslaw High School in Florence, June-'
tici City Junior High in Junction City; McKenzie High School
near Blue River in the upper McKenzie area; Oakridge High
School for that region; and Harrison Grade School in Cottage
Grove for southern Lane County and Drain.
There will be no clinic at Thurston Senior High.
State Bar Undecided
On New Constitution
By SAM FREAR
Of the Register-Guard
COOS BAY (Special) The 45
minutes allocated for considera
tion of a controversial commit
tee report opposing complete
revision of the Oregon Constitu
tion proved woefully short Fri
day morning at the Oregon State
Bar convention.
The bar's committee on judi
cial administration is recom
mending that the State Bar op
pose overall revision of the Con
stitution during 1963-64. As ex
pected, the report attracted
much critical attention when
presented to the lawyers.
The session adjourned at noon
until later in the day, allowing
time for consideration of a com
promise motion proposed by
Portland attorney Hugh Wood
on the red-hot subject.
Wood's compromise is that
the bar recommend to the Ore
gon Legislature that it not con
sider constitutional revision in
1963, but postpone it until 1965.
The subject of constitutional
revision, Wood said, is much
too important for hasty treat
ment. '
An additional complicating
factor entered into considers-1
tion of the judicial committee's
report Friday when committee
Chairman Thomas H. Tongue of
Portland revealed he had re-

for the bar's support in getting
a fourth circuit judge for Lane
County.
On a motion by Eugene Atty.
Hale Thompson here Friday
morning, a committee report
was amended to include a rec
ommendation from the state bar
to the 1963 Legislature for Lane
County's additional judge.

ceived a minority report from
four members of his committee
who said it is "unwise" for the
State Bar to categorically reject
overall amendment of the Con
stitution. Tongue disagreed with the mi
nority report, stating that the
bar should oppose overall
amendment of the Constitution
next year because "there should
be no great haste in putting our
present Constitution in the
garbage can."
He advocated merely "clean
ing out dead wood" in contra
dictory provisions of the state's
present Constitution, leaving
matters of great importance to
separate consideration by the
voter.
But Rep. George Layman of
Yamhill, chairman of the con
stitution revision committee,
disagreed with Tongue. He said
the recommendation of Tongue's
committee against revision was
"premature" and would place
the bar in a "poor posture" if
adopted.
Rusk Hits
Aid Cut
By House
Assails Moves
Against Nations
Who Help Cuba
WASHINGTON UR Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk
Friday described a deep
House cut in foreign aid ap
propriations as "a false and
costly economy" and ap
pealed to the Senate for its
restoration.
Rusk also told reporters a
House amendment to cut off
foreign aid to any country
whose ships carry goods of any
kind to Cuba would put this
country "in a straitjacket" in
dealing with allies.
"It's very important that this
amendment come out," Rusk
said.
On money matters Rusk de
voted himself to the $1.1 billion
cut voted by the House Thurs
day night for the basic foreign
aid program, trimming is near
ly a fourth below the requested
$4.8 billion.
The over -all appropriation,
also covering such related mat
ters as Cuban refugee aid, was
cut nearly $1.4 billion to $5,956,
852,000. Rusk made his comments in
talking with newsmen just be
fore he went before a closed
session of the Senate Appropria
tions Committee.
The most restrictive of the
House provisions on Cuban com
merce would deny foreign aid
to a country whose ships carry
trade of any kind to that Communist-controlled
country.
Another, by Rep. Thomas M.
Pelly, R-Wash., was aimed at
nations whose vessels transport
arms or strategic materials to
the Castro regime. Polly said
West Germany, Greece, Italy
and Great Britain would be in
cluded in this category.
The amendments apparently
caught the administration by
surprise since there was no ref
erence to them in Rusk's pre
pared testimony before the com
mittee. The appropriations measure
and the amendments now go to
the Senate, which has made it a
practice to restore sizable por
tions of House cuts in foreign
aid. Both the Senate and the
President would have to ap
prove before they could become
law.
The bill was waived to the
Senate on a roll call vote of
249-144. The measure drew the
support of 174 Democrats and
75 Republicans.
Logger Wounded
In 3'Man Brawl
Vote Put Off on Resolution
An argument which erupted
into a brawl sent two Dorena
area loggers to Cottage Grove
Hospital early Friday, one with
a head laceration, the other with
a bullet wound in his right
thigh.
In good condition with the
bullet wound is Paul George
Wicdcrhold Jr., 32.
The other man, Francis Aus
tin Eastburn Jr., 46, needed sev
eral stitches to close a scalp
wound and was released.
State police gave this account
of what led to the injuries:
Wicdcrhold. Eastburn and an
other man, Verne Edward Mill

after visiting two taverns in
downtown Cottage Grove. East

House Committee
Blocks Revision
WASHINGTON (LTD Overriding demands for an
even tougher stand, the H u-.e Rules Committee Friday
sent the "fight if we must" Cuban resolution to the floor
under a rule barring amendments and limiting debate
to three hours.
The resolution already passed by the Senate will be
called up Wednesday. Approval was certain.
The Rules Committee resorted to the gag rule proce
dure to prevent floor efforts to toughen the language and
possibly include a directive i

Wiederhold had to take a cab
there and, angry, kicked at the

When they came out to see
what wai happening, Wieder

State p olice said Eastburn
then reached inside the trailer
for an old rifle to use as a club.
But Wiederhold then took the
rifle away from Eastburn and.

him on the head with the weap

meeting Friday. Later the committee voted to bring the congres
VllciriS GS sional resolution of warning on a military buildup in Cuba before
43 the House next Wednesday without a chance for amendments.
Registration
At University
Going A-OK
Registration at the University
of Oregon settled down into a
calm, orderly procedure Friday,
contrasting sharply with the
frenzied excitement of Wednes
day and Thursday.
The reason, said Clifford L.
Constance, registrar, was that a
great many students had al
ready registered. No figures
are available yet, but the length
of the lines Wednesday and
Thursday was proof enough that
most students wanted to get
through registration as quickly
as possible. One reason was the
fear that some classes would be
closed.
As a result, Constance said,
most of the pressure came
Wednesday afternoon and Thurs
day morning. Registration will
continue Saturday morning, and
classes will begin Monday. Sept.
27 is the last day to pay fees
without penalty.
Arthur S. Flemming, president
of the university, is in New York
to attend a meeting of the Na
tional Council of Churches plan
ning committee. When told by
telephone of the long registra
tion lines, Flemming said:
"In the future we will see to
it that the registration work
load is distributed equally
among all the days set aside for
registration and is handled in
such a manner that those who
register on the last day are
given just as much considera
tion as those on the first day."

The radio reports from the
scene said one man was dead,
one seriously injured, four
slightly injured and four un
hurt. This accounted for all those
aboard the C47 Dakota recon
naissance plane which was
downed near Kamunza, a vil
lage about 29 miles northeast of
Kabongo and about 35 miles
southeast of the Katanga-Kasai
Provincial border.
Forces of the Central Con
golese government and those
of President Moisc Tshombc's
secessionist government have
been reported fighting each

But in announcing that the
Swedish plane was "shot down,"
the U. N. Command did not say
which side was responsible.

The two U.N. helicopters,
escorted by Swedish Saab jet
fighters, found the burned-out
wreckage of the twin-engined
plane in an open area away
from the jungle near Kabongo,
which lies in northwestern Ka

northwest of Elisahcthville.
The escorting jets had U.N.
orders to shoot at any suspi

Administration leaders felt
that such amendment might
have jeopardized passage of the
joint resolution.
The Rules Committee ap
proved the gag rule by an 8-6
vote. It overrode protests -of
members calling for sharp re
vision of the Cuban resolution
as drafted by the House For
eign Affairs Committee.
Itcvlslon Demanded
Foreign Affairs Chairman
Thomas E. Morgan, D-Pa told
the rules group he had wanted
to call up the resolution in the
Houso Thursday or Friday but
that this course was blocked by
protests of members demanding
the right to offer and consider
amendments.
He said language in the reso
lution, approved Thursday by an
86-1 vote in the Senate, had
been drafted jointly by House
and Senate committees and de
fense leaders and that he con
sidered it vitally important that
the House pass it intact.
The resolution affirms U.S.
intentions to block Communist
aggression from Cuba, by force
if necessary. Morgan said it
would serve notice on Russia
that this country will not allow
Cuba to be used as a base for
jeopardizing U.S. security.
Morgan's insistence on speedy
action and a ban on amendments
was sharply challenged by Reps.
John R. Pillion, R-N.Y., Michael
A. Feighan, D-Ohio, and William
M. Colmcr, D-Miss., the latter a
rules member.
'Vague, Indecisive'
Pillion called the resolution
as approved by the Senate
"vague, indecisive, and of no
practical value."
"It is worse than no resolu
tion at all," he said. "It legiti
matizes the Communist regime
in Cuba. It says it can stay
unless certain things happen."
Pillion indicated he wanted to
propose a suggested blockade of
Cuba or some other specific step
to head off the Communist
threat.
Colmcr said from all he had
read, Berlin posed an even more
serious threat than Cuba. He
said he could not see how the
