Oregon Price, 5 Cents Higher Education Replies to Budget Cut Bid Tuition, Criteria Hike Seen I C If - jp" "J ' -1 c.-iJk'stP i . t V't ? By DAN SELI.ARD Of the Rrctittr4juard SALEM (Special) The State Board ol Higher Educa tion said Friday it will increase tuition rates sharply and raise admission standards if the Leg islature reduces the budget by $5 million. The board also reported it would have to cut back such services as agricultural re search, the medical school teach- ing hospital, (arm extension service and the crippled chil dren's division. The report, made to the Joint Ways and Means Committee, caused a wave of consternation and brought several sharp re plies from committee members. Sen. Ward Cook, D-Portland chairman of the joint committee who had asked informally what the board would do if $5 mil lion were trimmed from the gov ernor's recommendation of $81 million, said he was shocked at the board's reply. Cook compared it with a threat of a youngster who says he "will pick up his marbles and go home unless he gets his way." Cook said the committee has never made a definite statement that a $S-million cut will be made. A subcommittee has made recommendations for budget leave a million dollars in edu trims amounting to more than cational television that hasn't $2 million. But Cook said that been justified yet." no cuts have been made to hurt education. Rep. Stafford Hansell, R-IIer- miston, was also critical of the board's statement: "It seems like a challenge to the Legislature." lie said tne board proposes to cut the Crippled Children's Clinics in Portland "but would fng ' V' .1 , ,, (AP Wlrephoto) A policeman holds Rev.

Baseball Olga Freeman Demos Ask Job For Ex-Clerk By SAM FREAR Of the Register-Guard A delegation of six Democrats called on the Lane County Commissioners Friday to present a request by the party that Clerk Olga Freeman be given a county job "commensurate with her ability, experience and training." Due to developments since Tuesday, the party request was less exacting than one recently presented to commissioners by six Democrats in the Legislature. They had wanted Mrs. Free man appointed head of the new Dept. of Records and Elections. But since another Democrat, present treasurer Ina Randolph, is going to get that job, no spe cific post for Mrs. Freeman was recommended by the party. Commissioners acknowledged they are aware of Mrs. Free man's "ability, capability and background, and we will take that into consideration in find ing a job for her." But, commis sioner Kenneth Nielsen said "we just haven't found one for her yet." The Democratic Central Com mittee's Dosition was presented to commissioners by Chairman George Balsigcr. He went into detail explain ing activities in the weeks pre ceding the commissioner's an nouncement Tuesday that Mrs. Randolph would head Records and Elections, and Euccno ac countant James Schneider will head Finance and Auditing. These two departments were created according to. the home rule charter. Commissioners on Tuesday unnounccd they would "continue to look" for a job for Mrs. Free man. FriHav thev told Balsigcr and his delegation that they don't want to "create" a job for Mrs. Frppman. and the Democrats re plied that they also do not want this to hanoen. Discussion at the meeting wii-nf on for about an hour, rang ing from Balsigcr's explanation of what the party understood about Mrs. Freeman's future (He claims, and commissioners deny, that Commissioner Frank Elliott promised that Mrs. Free man would head Records and Elections.) to details of the par ty's position on the new home rule charter. Basically, Balsicrr said. "Sc recard it as something less than perfect" but said that no action will be taken toward considera tion of amending the charter un til all reorganization of county government is complete. In the end commissioners came no closer to making prom ises about i job for Mrs. Free man. Nielsen said, however, that the county is not morally obli gated to find a job for her. He raid Mrs. Freeman's job with the county officially expirrd on Jan. 3 and that she has been working on a temporary ap pointment since that time, with the appointment to end on NATIONAL LEAGUE PllUbureh 300 004 00512 17 2 Cincinnati 000 100 030 4 1 Friend Si Pagliaront: OTolle.

Boston at Washington ' Minnesota at Kansas City, night Chicago at Los Angeles, night Canned Tuna Has Threat Of Botulism . - By ASSOCIATED PRESS Grocers and housewives have been alerted to a new botulism threat, this time in canned tuna prepared for the Jewish Pass over season already under way. The Food and Drug Adminis tration in Washington announc ed Friday that some defective cans of tuna gave indications of being contaminated by the deadly Clostridium botulinum type E. The cans in question were shipped to six metropolitan areas within the past two months, FDA officals said. They bear the stamped serial num bers WY2 and WY3 and the labels read, in part, "Dagim- white tuna-kosher for Passover net wt. 7 02." The areas are New York, De troit, Chicago, Cleveland, Pitts burgh, and Augusta, Ga. The FDA said the tuna-kosher to meet Jewish dietary re strictions and doubly supervised for the Jewish Passover season to ensure that no leavened bread is contained in it was packed by the Washington Packing Corp. of San Francisco That firm, shut down since March 22. also packed tuna which aoDarcntly led to the deaths from botulism of two De troit women last month. In California, state health of ficials Friday ordered removal from grocery shelves ol ail tuna kosher or non-kosher pack ed by the firm since it opened last December. Type E botulism is a poison. Usually associated with fish taken from cold waters, the bac teria can become toxic if not cooked under specified temper atures and pressures. Negro Leader Requesting Student Aid BIRMINGHAM. Ala. W Ne gro students are being asked to help continue racial demonstra tions in this industrial city. Sixty persons, including the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., were arrested in a so-called Freedom March Friday. Some 1,000 Negroes followed the procession led by King, the Rev. red Shuttlcsworth and the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy.

He also told a rally attended bv more than 300 persons that olans were ' being" -made lor kneel ins at white churches Eas ter Sunday morning. He did not elaborate. "And, of course we want to be there en masse Monday when Mr. Boutwell is Inaugurated," he said. Albert Boutwell. former lieu tenant governor of Alabama, is scheduled to take office Monday as Birmingham's mayor. He is segregationist who wants to ignore the movement. Court Fight Looms A court fight looms between the old and new City Hall re gimes. Boutwell ousted Police Commissioner Eugene Connor in the April 2 election. Connor and the other commissioners say they will not vacate City Hall. King and Abernathy were arrested during the march. Po lice picked up Shuttlesworth who they said ran wncn tne march was stopped an hour later at his motel. The three led the procession from a Negro church and head ed in the direction of City Hall. Hundreds of Negroes lining the streets knelt as the procession passed. Most joined it. Morse Views Criticized On Naval Station Sale ASTORIA ( The opposition of Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., to sale of the Tongue Point Naval Station to private interests has stirred comment in this coastal community. ,' Robert MacDonald, counsel for Tongue Point, Inc., a croup of businessmen hoping to purchase the facility for $950,000 said the plan has been public knowledge since October of last year. Tho group plans to purchase tho station from the city, which has offered $920,000 to the government. Mayor Harry Stcinbock said the government spends $250,000 a year to maintain the idle station, which was declared surplus two years ago. "It was offered to every federal agency in the area and to private industry," Steinbock said. "Why didn't Morse object before we went through months of laborious effort to put this deal together? It was well publicized. Wednesday Morse wrote to President Kennedy "that if Tongue Point is junked for a price of around $1 million, such action will take on the proportions of a scandal in Oregon." Morse repeatedly noted that $14 million was invested in the base by the Navy. But another memo noted that General Services Administration appraised it at $1 million most re cently. Morse maintains there is a quarry on the property which Is worth $1.5 million alone. In a letter to Commerce Secretary Luther Hodges, Morse said: "The Tonguo Point issue has become such a cause eelcbre in my state that I cannot justify voting for appropria tion requests by this administration for new installations else where while it continues to waste the taxpayers' money by lunking Tongue 1'oint. He added the suggestion that the base would make a good vocational training facility for young people from the under developed countries brought in by the State Department or the Peace Corps.
