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."

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

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.
There was no violence.
The Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker,
public information officer of
the Southern Christian Leader
ship Conference headed by
King, outlined plans Friday
night for continuing the demon
strations.
Meeting of Students
He called a meeting of Negro
students Saturday, but declined
to reveal any plans except

He also told a rally attended
bv more than 300 persons that

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. ' ,

Puts Blame
On Flooding
Rep. Ross Morgan, D Gresham,
co-chairman with Cook of the
committee, gave the opinion that
research is given too high a pri
ority and is a luxury program.
Several other members of the
committee suggested that the
Legislature, and not the board,
might decide what program)

The thinking of some legisla
tors now and in the past is that
the State System of Higher Edu
cation should be budgeted on a
"line item" basis, with the Leg
islature closely - categorizing
where and how money should be
spent.
The system now is a "lump
sum" budget agency, with the
Legislature reviewing the pro
posed budget and then appropri
ating an over-all fund, with the
board having considerable lee
way on how it is spent.
