Indonesian boy tells of fight for freedom Indonesia's long fight for inde pendence was described yester day to the Bend Kiwanis Club by Marjono Ali Putra, exchange stu dent from the Southeast Asian country who is studying this year at Bend Senior High School. Marjono told of Indonesia's "long sleep" under 350 years of Dutch rule, the process of gradual awakening and, finally, the gain ing of independence in 1945. Indonesian life, he said, is gov erned by five principles or "pil lars." He listed these as: 1. Belief in or love of God. 2. Nationalism. This he said should not be confused with iso lation, but is rather exemplified by a love of country. 3. Internationalism or "human ism." 4. Democracy. 5. Social justice. His country, Marjono noted, is based largely on an agricultural economy with a heavy population concentration and the need for im ports to care for its people. Among its most pressing prob lems, he said, is illiteracy. In a question and answer pe riod, Marjono said that he did not always agree with President Su karno, but that in the case of West Irian he was in complete agree ment that it belonged to Indonesia. The speaker was accompanied by Don Empey, principal at Bend Senior High School. He was intro duced by Bill Yates. The meeting was held at the Pine Tavern, with William Hud son presiding.

U.S. Employment Service accused of discrimination WASHINGTON (UPI)-A Negro leader charged today that the U. S. Employment Service discrimi nates against Negroes in the South west. A House subcommittee im mediately launched an investiga tion. The charge was made at a la bor subcommittee studying fair employment practices and legis lation. Clarence A. Laws, Southwest re gional secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the USES offices in his region direct Ne groes only into menial jobs, seg regate white and Negro workers, and keep separate files according to race. Subcommittee Chairman Adam Clayton Powell, D-N.Y., ordered the committee's investigators to go to Dallas, Tex., immediately to check into the matter. Other congressional news: Gambling: Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy urged the House Com merce Committee to tighten loop holes in federal laws pertaining to 11 missionaries, LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (LTD Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula said today he had received reports that 11 white missionaries and seven African Roman Catho lic nuns had been massacred by troops loyal to Stanleyville strong man Aatoine Gizenga. Adoula also announced that be had fired Gizenga as vice pre mier of the Central Congo gov ernment. Adoula said Gizenga bad par 1 JH Donald Sloan, world traveler, and head of a Portland investment firm, will be the banquet speak er. Jaycees said they have com pleted the selection of junior and senior citizens and the Keyman of the Year who will be honored Thursday night, but stressed that their identity will remain a secret until banquet time.

Kennedy said revision is urgently needed to ban inter state shipments of roulette wheels, pinball machines used as gambling devices and other gambling equip mentin addition to slot machines. Education: House Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass., said congressional leaders have decid ed to split consideration of Presi dent Kennedy's education pack age into two parts. He said the college aid-federal scholarship pro gram will be considered ahead of the controversial public school aid bill. The college aid bill is likely to be considered by the Senate before the end of the month. Debt: Senate Finance Chairman Harry F. Byrd, D-Va., was strong ly critical of "reckless spending" by the government in recent years. He said he would press for a full investigation by his committee be fore supporting the President's re quest to boost the debt ceiling from $298 billion to $308 billion for fiscal 1963. liamentary immunity. But he said this immunity might be lifted aft er the investigation is completed. Informed sources here said ear lier today that secret charges had been filed against Gizenga. Dip lomatic sources said the Investi gation likely would center around the deaths of several of Gizen ga's political opponents shortly after former Premier Patrice Lu mumba was killed in Katanga 11 months ago. Credit card trips pair on Joyride A pair of California youngsters on a joyride to Oregon were ar rested last night by City Police after they purchased a tire at a local service station on somebody else's credit card. Being held today were Larry L. Dalton, 19, and James Ronald Lee, 16, both of Carmichael, Calif. Dalton was charged with vag rancy and with operating a motor vehicle without a license. Lee is being held by juvenile authorities. A service station operator in the East end called police after the two youngsters had purchased a tire on a credit card. He told po lice they looked phony to him. Police soon located the car and the occupants who later admitted using a credit card they found in a wallet on a street in California. The car they were using is regis tered to Lee's mother in Californ ia. They left home Sunday, plan ning to take what Dalton called a "carefree ride in the country." Along the way they purchased several tanks of gasoline with the credit card and two tires. Pur chases to Bend totaled about $70. They were arrested about 10 p.m. Boiin Oum turns down appeal GENEVA (UPI)- Pro-Western Premier Prince Boiin Oum turned down an appeal by the cochair- men of the 14-nation Laos con ference today to attend a plenary session and endorse the work of the parley to date. At the same time, a spokesman for Boun Oum said he still insists that his supporters hold the key ministries of defense and interior in any future coalition government in Laos. The spokesman said Boun Oum turned down the plenary session proposal at a meeting this morn ing with Malcolm MacDonald, British cochairmari. He said Boun Oum did so because similar invi tations were extended to neutral ist Prince Souvanna Phouma and Communist Prince Souphanouvong. He said Boun Oum does not recog nize them as true representatives of the Laotian people. Bourn Oum's refusal further dashed hopes for a successful compromise by getting the three princes together here. Boun Oum and Souvanna Phouma arrived Monday, and Boun Oum plans to return home Saturday. Souphan ouvong has not yet arrived. Boun Oum also saw Georgi Pushkin, Soviet deputy foreign minister and cochairman of the Laos conference, as well as U.S. Assistant Secretary of State W. Averell Harriman. Harriman and Pushkin agreed Monday that the key ministries of defense and the interior in any coalition should go to Souvanna. Slide blocks , highway 99 DUNSMUIR, Calif. (UPI) A huge rock slide, touched off by blasting work, Monday blocked U.S. Highway 99, the main north south link between Oregon and California. The slide occurred shortly after noon about 10 miles south of Dunsmuir near Flume Creek in the Sacramento River canyon. It covered both lanes of the highway to a depth of about 10 feet on a 100-foot stretch of the road. Traffic was backed up for miles on both sides as there was no convenient detour. Emergency crews managed to reopen both lanes of the highway Monday night, however. The slide apparently was trig gered by blasting work of a con struction firm, which is building a freeway in the area.

Adoula indicated Gizenga might be charged with the deaths of Congolese soldiers killed in the weekend fighting at Stanleyville.

Stenkamp, manager of the Bend branch of the U. S. Na tional Bank, was named chairman last night of the budget commit tee for Deschutes County School Administrative District No. 1. Selection of Stenkamp was made as the committee began work on a budget proposal for the 1962-63 fiscal year. Will M. Storey, Bend, was nam ed vice-chairman, and Mrs. Shir ley Susac, Harper, was picked to serve as secretary for the com mittee. All three officers are appointive members of the committee. Other appointive members are Henry N. Fowler, Dr. Richard H. Ettinger, D. J. Ward, and George Short. Others on Committee Also on the 14-member commit tee are the seven members of the district board, Bert Hagen, Gor- dun McKay, Richard Wayman, Carl Kuppel, George Fulton, Ralph Boese, and Jack Staton. All members of the committee were on hand for last night's in itial session. Most of the meeting was devot ed to a discussion of various phases of the local school situa tion as related to the task of bud geting. Discussed were such mat ters as building plans, teacher salanes, and financial consider StionS. .. , Invitation Duo In regard to teacher salaries, it was decided to invite the teach ers to meet with the committee at its next meeting to discuss the situation and to present any pro posal or proposals which they may have on the subject. The commit tee rejected a proposal that a special committee of teachers and committee members be named for a study independent of the deliber ations of the full budget commit tee. Representatives of non-certified personnel of the district will also be invited to meet with the com mittee to discuss salaries. Also discussed last night was the possibility of presenting a ser ial levy proposal to voters at the same time as a vote is taken on the budget. The levy would be used for building purposes, and, it was suggested last night, might have a better chance of voter ap proval than the recent school bond proposal. Prospects Discussed Superintendent R. E. Jewell re viewed budgets of recent years and discussed the prospects in the next fiscal year on such items as equalization, forest receipts, teacher needs and income from the slate basic school support fund. The committee decided to hold its next meeting on Monday, Jan uary 29, beginning at 7 p.m. Ses sions are held in the library of the junior high school in Bend. New gas war seen brewing There was some evidence today that a new gas war might be starting in Bend. The initial skirmish, which saw Bend gas prices drop to around 26 cents a gallon, ended last fall. Since that time, most local sta tions have been selling regular gas for 34.1 cents a gallon. However, a few Bend stations are now advertising regular gas at 31.9 cents a gallon, although ma jority of downtown stations were still at 34.9 this morning. The gas war in Redmond con tinues unabated, with regular gas selling for 24.9 cents a gallon at most stations. reported end of the inquiry could lead to riots among the population," Adoula said. Adould refused to say who would be the new vice premier. Adoula said the reports said the massacre was carried out by troops led by Col. Joseph Pakas sa, a cousin of the pro-Communist Gizenga. There also have been previous reports that Gizenga forces were involved in the massacre of 13 Mr', , t w mm NEW OFFICERS James Arbow, left, and Howard Hobson Jr. were named yesterday as chairman and vice-chairman, respectively, of the Bend Retail Merchants.

Don Conner, new president of the Bend Chamber of Commerce, Soviets may fry to steal Glenn lustre NEW YORK (UPI) - Space ex pert Walker M. Mahurin believes the Soviet Union may try to take some of the lustre away from the forthcoming orbital flight of Lt. Col. John Glenn by sending two men around the earth in a Vostok rocket. Mahurin, assistant director for advance programs development at North American Aviation's Space and Information Division in Dow Calif., made the prediction Mon day during a panel discussion at an American Rocket Society lunch. "They'll probably do it a cou ple days after Glenn takes his ride," Mahurin said, referring to the possible space race counter move by the Russians. "Or a couple of days beftrV said copanelist Herman Kahn, au thor of "Thermonuclear War." Most of the panel members agreed that the Kennedy admin istration is reacting more vigor ously to the Soviet space chal lenge than did tile Eisenhower administration. Dr. Arthur Kantrowitz, vice pres. ident of the Avco Corp. and di rector of its research laboratory at Everett, Mass., said it w a s "characteristic of the Kennedy ad ministration that the National Ae ronautics and Space Administra tion has been given a hugely in creased budget." But Kantrowitz, along with oth er panel members, criticized the current administration for not making more changes in space policy. "I must be critical of Kennedy because he has not rectified Ei senhower's worst mistake the sep aration of the military and civi lian programs in our space ef forts," Kantrowitz said. "This continued insistence that we must have a purely civilian set of boosters of civilian space probes is silly," he added. slain in Italian airmen of the U.N. force late last year. (A Belgian radio broadcast In Brussels said a report from Buk avu, Kivu Province, said the Stan leyville troops killed the mission aries in Kongolo in north Katanga Province. (Radio Brazzaville, in the for mer French Congo, also carried reports today that 11 priests and seven nuns had been murdered.) Gizenga was captured Monday urged merchants to "plan your activities for the year so that they complement our slogan for Bend for this year." The slogan is "Promote, Promote and Promote Some More." He offered a suggested promo tion schedule for the coming year and asked the merchants to use any or all of it and add to it. General Agreement Merchants were in general agreement that they must do more in the way of special events. Moore, a former chairman of the group, told them "We really haven't been doing enough our selves, either during the Christ mas season or during the rest of the year." , Liska urged an enlarged organ' ization and more interest from members. "Sure, we're all busy. But we've got to start taking time to work for the entire retail or ganization. When we bring people to Bend, everyone benefits," he said. Jack Wetle, another former chairman, said, "We need to aim our activities more at those peo ple living outside Bend. We've got to do the things that will make them feel welcome here. Monthly Promotions The group voted to hold at least one monthly promotion, and in vestigate the possibility of others. First will be the Washington s Birthday celebration in February. Immediately following will come the first annual Intercollegiate Winter Carnival which merchants said they would actively support. Arbow said he would name a membership committee in the near future assigned to the task of insuring better attendance at retail meetings. There were about 25 at the meeting Monday. Airline operates despite threat NEW YORK (UPI) Trans World Airlines operated normal ly today although pilots were free to strike in their labor dispute at midnight Sunday. Pan American World Airways pilots, also involved in a contract dispute, continued flying. They had been freed of a federal ban on a strike last week, but gave no indication as to when or if they would walk out. Talks were expected to continue today in both disputes' with fed eral mediators sitting in. In addition to wages, one of trie principal stumbling blocks to new contracts in both cases is differ ences over the number of pilots to be carried on jetliners. The Air Line Pilots Association Insists that three pilots be used. The airlines want to carry two pilots, as required by federal regulations. Congo at Stanleyville, capital of Oriental Province and center of his pow er, by Central Congolese and U.N. troops after a weekend of fight ing. He is now being held in cus tody there. Adoula said a judicial investiga tion has begun into Gizenga's ac tivities. He was seized after he defied a demand by the Congo lese Parliament for him to return to Leopoldville to answer charges of "secessionist activities." y Nation moves to bolster New Guinea HOLLA NDTA, Dutch New Gui. nea (UPI) The Dutch announced today that 50 Indonesians cap tured when their ship was sunk in Sunday night's naval clash will be held as prisoners of war. Officials here denounced the move by Indonesian motor torpedo boats into New Guinea territorial waters as "aggressioii...not pre ceded by a declaration of war." At the Hague, the Defense Min istry moved to bolster Dutch armed forces in Dutch New Gui nea and flatly charged that Indo nesia tried to invade this island. A Defense Ministry communique said one Indonesian vessel was sunk and two others escaped aft er a skirmish with Dutch naval vessels. (In Jakarta, the Indonesian cap ital, Maj. Gen. Achmad Jani, chief of Uie special operational command set up for the "libera tion of West Irian the name used by the Indonesians for Dutch New Guinea scoffed at the Dutch charges of invasion. ("Everybody understands three motor boats don't constitute a convoy for landing," Jani said. Conflicting Reports (Jani said one Indonesia motor torpedo boat was sunk and anoth er burned in the incident, which he said took place outside the three-mile , limit off the West Irian coast. However, there was v some apparent conflict In one statement, Jani said the Dutch made an unprovoked attack while Indonesian vessels were "patrol ling in Indonesian waters in the neighborhood of the Aru Islands." In another, he said the attack oc curred in the "open sea." (Jani added that Indonesian sea patrols will be strengthened in the future, and the United Nations will be informed of the incident There were few other details from Indonesia, where the government clamped a news blackout on the Incident and gave only bare de tails.' Military censorship delayed ' dispatches of foreign correspond ents, who were told they could report only "facts" and no "speculation.") Other Developments There were these other develop- , menu In the wake of the clash near -Etna Bay about 500 miles west of Hollandia: The Interior Affairs Minister for Dutch New Guinea. H. Veld- kamp, said the Indonesian prison er were picked up Inside the is land's territorial waters and said he hoped newsmen would be per mitted to interview them later. He also assured the local popula tion that there is no immediate danger, saying that the Incident does not constitute a reason for complaining a state of siege or taking any other unusual meas ures. The Dutch Defense Ministry announced that military service for noncommissioned officers and enlisted men would be extended up to 22 months to provide an additional 200 infantrymen and antiaircraft men here immediate ly. Naval and air force service already had been extended to a full two years because of the Ber lin crisis. U.N. Loader It Concerned U.N. Secretary General Thant who said he was "deeply con cerned" over Sunday's clash and urged both sides to settle their dispute peacefully, was informed by Dutch Premier Jan. E. Da Quay today that "Holland is still prepared to start negotiations with Indonesia without prior con d 1 1 1 o n s." He also expressed "grave concern" about the clash. In announcing that it considered the incursion by Indonesian craft as an lnvation attempt, the Dutch Defense Ministry said the num ber of men aboard the motorboat that was sunk was larger than normal. "lt is completely clear from this fact and the equipment which was impounded that an Invasion at tempt has been made," the com munique said. However, some observers felt that the foray was more in the nature of an infiltration attempt along the remote, crocodile-infested jungle coast of southwestern New Guinea than a full-scale in vasion attempt. There have been previous re ports of large-scale Indonesian in filtration in this region.
