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.
