Britain's Market Bid
Apparently Doomed
By TOM OCHILTREE
Of the Associated Press
BRUSSELS, Belgium Ef
forts to keep alive Britain'! bid
to enter the Common Market
failed Tuesday despite a last-
minute intervention by Presi
dent Kennedy s administration
Five of the six Common Mar
ket countries fought on Brit
ain a behalf but were unable to
overcome France's opposition.
As the negotiating ministers
for the six Common Market
countries recessed lor lunch,
West German Economic Minis
ter Ludwig Erhard told report
ers: "The negotiations are over.
They have failed. We will come
together again this afternoon,
but no progress at all has been
made. The five are itill in
agreement that Britain should
be brought into the Common
Market but they cannot con
vince France."
Just before the ministers
met, U.S. Ambassador John
Tuthill had handed Erhard a
statement expressing the U.S.
government's concern at the bit
ter dispute raging among
France and the other five mem
bers of the European Economic
Community West Germany
Belgium, the Netherlands,
Italy and Luxembourg.
Similar statements were un
derstood to have been delivered
by U.S. envoys in all capitals
of the Common Market nations

Underwriters'
Seminar Set
"Business Interruption Insur-
ance" will be the subject of the
1963 mid-winter seminar of the
Institute of Oregon Underwrit
ers to be held Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
The University of Oregon
School of Business Administra
tion and the Oregon Assn. of
Insurance Agents are co-spon
soring the annual meeting.
Approximately 100 members
of the association from Oregon,
Washington and California are
planning to attend the sessions.
Mark R. Greene, head of the
department of Marketing and
Industrial Management at the
University, is faculty advisor
for the institute. He said the
institutes are designed to help
raise the professional level of
the insurance industry.
The seminar faculty will be
comprised of H. Hallock Bart-
lett of Jcwett, Barton, Leavy &
Kern, Portland; William H.
Breeden, CIA, Charles W. Scx
ton Co., Portland; Richard B.
Masters, Insurance Underwrit
ers of the Pacific, San Fran
cisco; Kenneth W. Withers (re
tired) General Adjustment Bu
reau, San Francisco.
Lecture and seminar sessions
will be held In Commonwealth
Hall and the Erb Memorial Stu
dent Union. A banquet has been
set for Friday night at the Eu
gene Hotel.
The dispute Involved Indo
nesia, Britain, Malaya and The
Philippines in varying roles.
Indonesian Army Chief of
Staff Maj. Gen. Achmad Jani
flew to Pontianak in western
Borneo for an inspection trip
aimed specially at "that section
bordered on the turbulent north
ern segment of Borneo," ac
cording to Radio Indonesia.
Indonesia controls the south
ern two-thirds of Borneo. Eng
land dominates the northern
third through two colonies
Sarawak and North Borneo
and the oil-rich protectorate of
Brunei.
Reports from Indonesia said
tens of thousands of volunteers
have offered to join nationalist
jungle units to "liberate" Bru
nei from British rule.
Britain alerted 2,000 strategic
reserve troops in London for
possible Southeast Asia duty if
the situation gets worse. Air
borne British infantrymen were
airlifted to Brunei over the
weekend from Singapore.
In Malaya, Prime Minister
Tengku Abdul Rahman told a
news conference the British
troop movements were con
nected with Indonesia's vitriolic
attacks on Malaya and the pro
posed Malayan Federation.
The federation is scheduled
for creation sometime this year,
It would include Malaya,Singa
pore, Sarawak, North Borneo
and possibly Brunei.
A rebellion broke out in Bru
nei and areas of Sarawak and
North Borneo last month, led
by nationalists opposing British
rule and inclusion in Malaysia.
The Philippines, which startl
ed the British government by
claiming North Borneo late last
year, Monday formally pre
sented the claim in London.
and In Britain. American
sources declined to say whether
the communication was written
by Kennedy, but it was under
stood that it clearly carried the
stamp of the President's think
ing. The American intervention
reflected Washington's concern
at the abrasive argument
touched off by French President
Charles de Gaulle in his pursuit
of a dream of a new, French-led
Europe, with American as well
as British influence reduced.
Diplomats favoring the Brit
ish cause said the French action
threatened grave repercussions
on the political, economic and
defense arrangements of the en
tire Western Alliance.
They decided to seek to place
a statement on tne record in
the afternoon session fixing re
sponsibility for the crisis on tha
shoulders of the French.
Finally it waa anticipated the
British would be brought into
the council room and told that
their hopes have been dashed.
Up to the last, the West Ger
mans, with the support of all but
the French, urged the reference
of the membership issue to the
nine-man Common Market Com
mission to keep Britain's appli
cation alive.
That executive body would
have studied the record of the
16 months of negotiations with
the British and returned a re
port later to the ministers of
the six and Britain.

Ole Miss Crisis
Cost 4.5 Million
WASHINGTON WU-The use
of federal troops and U.S. mar
shals in the James H. Meredith
University of Mississippi crisis
has cost more than $4.5 million,
government officials said Monday.
Pentagon sources said mili
tary costs of the operation
totaled $4,066,000 through De
cember and have averaged
about $4,500 daily since.
A Justice Department spokes
man said the use of marshals
and lawyers cost about $436,500
through Dec. 31 and should
total about $450,000 by the end
of January.

French Foreign Minister Maurice
Couve de Murville, his jaws clamped,
his eyes staring straight ahead, leaves
conference room in Brussels, Belgium,
Monday night after France's unyielding
veto on Great Britain's bid to join the
European Common Market. Informed
sources believe that France is following
this line in an attempt to reduce Amer
ican as well as British influence in the
affairs of Europe.
Three Counties
Eligible for Aid
WASHINGTON (UPD Agricul
ture Secretary Orville Freeman
has designated Jackson, Jose
phine and Tillamook counties
in Oregon as disaster areas eli
gible to receive emergency as
sistance to repair rain and flood
damage, Sens. Wayne Morse
and Maurine Neuberger said
Tuesday.
The Oregon Democrats said
Freeman allocated $155,000 to
the three Oregon counttes for
sharing with farmers the cost
of emergency restoration measures.
Amnesty Promised
LOME, Togo Wl The cabi
net of Togo's provisional gov
ernment has promised amnesty
to political refugees who, under
the regime - of assassinated
President Sylvanus Olympio,
had fled to neighboring Ghana
and other nations. The cabinet
said it had no intention of forc
ing foreign refugees to return
to their home countries. Many
citizens of Ghana have taken
refugee in Togo.
Filibustering
Petition Goes
To Senators
WASHINGTON (UPD Liber
als Tuesday circulated a round-
robin petition designed to get a
majority of the Senate on rec
ord for a vote in favor of tight
ening its anti-filibuster rule.
Frustrated by Senate rules
and lack of a helping hand from
the Kennedy administration, the
rule-changes advocates tried the
device of getting an unofficial
commitment by signature.
One member said it was de
signed to get a "clear majority
expression on the substance" of
the rules dispute. He predicted
at least 51 of the 100 senators
would sign up.
The Senate was expected to
reach some kind of record vote
late this week, probably Thurs
day, on a motion to table a
pending constitutional question.
The liberals hoped for a White
House boost for their cause.
"It wouldn't even take a
stroke of the pen downtown to
get us out of this," said Sen.
Clifford P. Case, R-N.J. "I still
hope the President will express
himself in favor of a rule
change. It would be important
for his program."
The present rule requires a
two-thirds vote to end a filibus
ter. The liberals are trying to
get action on a pending amend
ment by Sen. Clinton P. Ander
son, D-N.M., that would let
three-fifths of those voting curb
a filibuster.
Actually, the rules can be
amended by a straight majoity
vote, if those advocating the
change can ever get the oppo
nents to stop talking so they
can vote.
Southerners, backed by some
small-state senators fearful of
outright majority rule, have
blocked a vote on Anderson's
motion to call up his three-
fifths amendment.
Fresh Snow for Italy
Winter Eases Grip
On Most Europe
LONDON W Fresh snow fell
on the mountains and east coast
of Italy Tuesday, but in most
other countries the sting seemed
to be gone out of Europe's killer
freeze.
The effects of the long cold
wave lingered. Snowplows
churned along roads. Icebreak
ers crunched through sea and
river shipping lanes. Reports
continued to filter out telling of
villages marooned by snows and
of people killed by the bitter
cold.
Toll Set At 423
Europe's unofficial death toll
from the freeze reached 423.
In Japan, blizzards slackened
along the west coast after 19
days of steady snow. Weather
men warned that more rough
weather might be approaching
from the China mainland. The
death toll rose to 77 with 9
missing and 72 injured.
Italy had another night ot
snow in the Apennine Mountains
and along the Adriatic coast.
It snowed again in Sicily and
Sardinia. Heavy seas kept the
Adriatic and Ionian fishing
fleets hugging their harbors. An
air force helicopter dumped wild
rice over marshes near the
mouth of the Po River to save
thousands of wild birds from
starvation.
Three people froze to death
in Yugoslavia. A sick boy died
as his father carried him to find
medical aid.
East Germany announced it
was digging its way out of
heavy weekend snows, but au
thorities maintained a strict ra
tion on gas and electric power
supplies.
Snows Retreat
The deep snows retreated fur
ther across Britain as tempera
tures stayed steadily above the
freezing mark. The thaw left a
rash of minor floods and hun
dreds of broken water mains.
A spokesman for the British
Insurance Assn. said claims for
snow and , ice damage are ex
pected to reach 15 million
pounds ($42 million).
Temperatures lingered around
the freezing point in France
and there was light snow in
several areas. In Poland schools
reopened after a week's shut
down because of a coal short
age. Icebound roads and rail
ways still plagued Silesia and
western Poland, however, and
ice menaced shipping on the
Baltic.
Business Tax
Hearing Set
SALEM (UPD The House Tax
Committee will hold a hearing
Wednesday on a bill to impose
a one per cent tax on net busi
ness income to offset the pres
ent inventory tax.
The offset vould be partiaL
House Speaker Clarence
Barton said he favors the in
come tax over the inventory
tax, as do most businesses.
But he said he disagreed with
the manner of transition pro
posed by HB 1033.
Barton said the inventory tax
and the personal property tax
should be phased out by category.
He said, for example, the
manufacturer's inventory lax
could be eliminated as a starter.
He said this would save the
administrative cost of collect
ing the inventory tax on cate
gories phased out in their entirety.
Unionism Increases
TOKYO tf A total of 8,
790,000 persons, or 36 per cent
of Japan s work force, are mem
mers of labor unions, the Labor
Ministry reported Monday. The
total is a 6 per cent increase
over last year.
