ZAW STABK Of United preia International Embattled Hatfield Budget Due to Face New Blasts by Legislators SALEM The already much-battered budget pro posed by Gov. Mark Hatfield for the 1963-65 biennium faces further bombardment next week when the legislative fiscal orientation conference is held here. The Monday-through-Wednesday meeting of legis lators with the Legislative Fiscal Committee is being held "to consider the revenue and expenditure programs for the 1963-65 biennium." All 90 of the state's legis lators have been invited. The budget war began Dec. 1 when the $405.3-million general fund budget was pre sented. Hatfield indicated the state was in danger of skidding into the red before the end of the current biennium. To finance next biennium's proposals, he called for a hike in liquor prices, a cig arette tax, and an increase in personal Income taxes. A $40-million higher educa tion construction bond issue was proposed, and an election during the legislative session on the bond proposal and tax hikes was suggested. - First to comment on the budget was State Rep. Clar ence Barton, jj-uoqume, speaker designate of the House. Barton didn't object to the proposed tax hikes but he opposed the plan for a tax election while the legislature was in session. Sen. Ben Musa, D-The Dalles, also opposed the spe cial tax election, and said he opposed the net receipt tax. Four days later Hatfield called for "statesmanship" to help solve the state's critical financial problems. He told United Press Inter national "this is no time for personal politics. I invite all to join in a common effort to find a solution. Then Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said transfer of $5.5 million from the veterans' bond sinking fund to bail out the general fund would vio late the constitution. This was followed by an ex plosive blast from State Rep. Richard Eymann, D-Mohawk, chairman of the House Taxa tion Committee. Eymann charged Hatfield had juggled figures to produce a "phony" budget. Eymann's charge was first answered by Freeman Hoi- mer, director of the Depart- ment of Finance. Holmer de fended the budget, and said Thornton's opinion was "not convincing." Nevertheless, Holmer sug gested "if there is legislative doubt," the transfer of the $5.5 million could be referred to the people in the form of a constitutional amendment." Hatfield met with reporters Monday and said drastic cuts in basic school aid, welfare services, and closing of state institutions could result next spring if the $5.5 million, is not returned to the general fund. Hatfield repeated his call for "constructive criticism" of his budget, and termed "statesmanship" a suggestion by Barton that a deficiency appropriation might be the answer to keeping the state in the black. Hatfield also downgraded Thornton's view the $5.5 mil lion could not be returned to the general fund. Eymann wasn't much im pressed with, the governor's plea for "constructive criti cism." "Before the election we were led to believe the state would have a half-a-million- dollar surplus," Eymann said. He criticized Hatfield for not advising the legislature in advance of apparent gen eral fund -deficits. Another potential threat to the state's financial stature was unveiled Tuesday when Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. announced $18.2 million more each biennium would be required if state wards and prison labor were not allowed to do state work. The AFL-CIO is bringing suit to halt use of prison labor in construction of the new women's prison. Drought Victims To Receive Grain WASHINGTON (UPB The De partment of Agriculture will make feed grain available at re duced prices to Harney County, Ore., farmers because of short ages caused by a severe drought, members of Oregon's Congressional delegation report. Farmers will be able to pur chase up to a 90-day feed sup ply at one time. The price can not be less than 75 per cent of the federal grain support price. The Harney County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office will process ap plication. The Agriculture Department said the grain will be available as long as the emergency lasts. Pakistan Afghanistan Disagreement Causes Trouble Again at Khyher Pass By DAVID LANCASHIRE or the Aitoclatrd Presi KHYBER PASS, Pakistan The clang of ancient battle seems to echo still from the limestone cliffs of this historic invasion route where Alexander the Great's soldiers marched into India and generations of British troops fought the Pathan tribesmen. But now you can drive comfortably through the Khyber Pass in a taxi and buy a porcelain bust of Abraham Lincoln or a bag of fresh popcorn on the way. Silence hangs over the great mud fort of Jamrud. The squat stone picket forts guarding the hilltops are empty of riflemen. Tribesmen, with guns clutched in their hands and chests looped with bandoliers of cartridges, smile and pose for pic tures. The road that twists along 21 miles of the Khyber Pass is a tourist route. Under the colorfully calm exterior, however, tribal passions still boil and the Pass is once again a point of tension. Ameri can aid which poured through the famous mountain valley un til last year is affected. Cut through great brown shale and limestone walls, the Khyber Pass joins West Pakistan and Afghanistan across the Hindu Kush Mountains. Over the centuries foreign invaders have used it to conquer India Greeks, Tartars, Moguls and Persians. British soldiers of the Indian army used to lead expedition after expedition through it for wars against Afghanistan and to subdue rifle-wielding tribesmen who created havoc on the northwest frontier. In near-by Jagdalik Pass the Palhans wiped out a retreating British army of 16,000 men in 1841. The Khyber is a restricted and loosely administered tribal area still. Visitors need a special entry pass from the Pakistan government at Peshawar. Tribal justice rules and shooting feuds are common. Garishly colored buses painted with landscapes and bulging with passengers, baggage, geese and chickens grind up the pass road. Hooded women in baggy trousers trek to their forti fied mud villages with bundles of firewood on their heads. Alongside runs a railway built in 1925. The tribesmen ride it free. A few years ago they shot a conductor who insisted on collecting fares. In the nearby hamlet of Dera, villagers do a thriving busi ness in tribal handicrafts such as a hand made rifle tooled from torn-up railway tracks. The political trouble that swirls around the Pass today is another tribal affair. Pakistan and Afghanistan broke off dip lomatic relations 15 months ago when Afghan diplomats were accused of fomenting strife and subversion among tribesmen in the frontier area. . Like most inhabitants along the Afghanistan border, the tribes speak the Pushtoo language. King Zahir's All-family gov ernment at Kabul claims the entire frontier area is "Free Push toonistan." More than that, Kabul claims most of West Pakistan is "occupied Pushtoonistan." Kabul traditionally has brought its imports through Pakis tanmany of them through the Khyber Pass. It stoppad when the dispute arose. Pakistan lost a lucrative transport business but Afghanistan may have cut off its nose to spite its face. Now the country has no practical way of importing any thing. Some goods still come in through the Soviet Union or follow an almost prohibitively expensive roundabout route through Iran. ' The United States has virtually suspended aid since mate rials cannot be brought in. The dispute has not had much effect on life along the Pass, except to cut down traffic. The railway ends at the villace of Landi Kotal. a smiietrlers' paradise. In the crowded bazaar, richly fragrant from bright mounds of curry and spices, illicit transistor radios blare oriental music. Vendors sell popcorn, sugar cane and birds in wooden cages or Japanese fountain pens, Swiss watches and English brushes. Pakistan ends at Torkham, a few miles farther on with snow-wrapped peaks thrusting up in the distance. Next to a shop that sells brassware and little heads of Buddha and Abraham Lincoln troops from the Khyber Rifles guard a gate bearing the green and white crescent of Pakistan. From public loudspeakers both sides send propaganda blar ing across the border and echoing up the pass.
