There are a number of reasons proposal for Dunes Park is having rough going ; In a letter to the editor, published In Ihis newspaper last week, U.S. Sen ator Maurine B. Neuberger lays the blame for slow progress of her bill to establish a new national park on the Oregon Dunes at the door of Gov. Mark O. Hatfield. And there some of the blame must lie. But there are several other places where a little blame can attach. 1 The original proposal for a Dunes park was the brain-child of Sen. Neu berger's late husband, Richard L. Neuberger, and the National Park Service. Dick Neuberger was putting up a good fight for the park, and was mak ing some progress. He, a Democrat like his wife, had obtained support from the Eisenhower administration for his proposal. Then the changes started. Dick Neuberger died, was replaced on an Interim basis by Hall S. Lusk, who had little interest In the proposal, and serv ed loo short a time to be effective In its behalf, regardless of his Interest In the measure. John F. Kennedy was elected, and a new crew took over high-level offices In the federal government. Neuberger's original bill was dead; a new Congress needed new legislation. His widow Introduced another version. Congressman Eddie Durno now repre sented the district in which the park was to be located. He wanted no part Of It even though his chief campaign Strategist, the late Bill Tugman, was one of the Park's strongest supporters. . One would have thought, with the park being the pet of a Democratic U.S. Senator, it would have much easier Bailing under the new administration than the old, even If a Republican con gressman In its own district opposed it. ' But that Isn't the way things go In Washington. Senator Morse doesn't like the park proposal. And Senator Morse is a much more powerful man In Washington than he ever has been before. Apparently he's trying to get even with anyone named Neuberger; Dick put him on a pretty tough spot a few years ago, and the Morsian memory is a long one on some matters. Rep. Edith Green doesn't like the Neuberger bill. And she, with the pos sible but not probable exception of Morse, is much closer to the Kennedy administration than any other Oregon member of Congress. Rep. Ullman, who follows Morse and Green wherever they go, doesn't like it either, and he's been no help. Secretary of Agriculture Freeman doesn't like it, because he feels he's got to s u p p o r t the U.S. Forest Service, wnicti doesn't like It. Governor Hatfield Is lareelv un learned In resource, conservation, and recreation affairs. Most of this work In his administration is left up to a fellow named Dan Allen, whom one of our states distinguished citizens recently characterized in a private conversation as a "Very ordinary bureaucrat." And Allen has been opposing the park ever since it was first suggested. Allen always says he doesn't op pose the park. He merely says he Is in favor of It provided someone makes a few changes. The changes are always ones which would be unacceptable to park supporters. The park adherents are put in the position of the fellow who Is told the family will approve his marrying the girl, if he'll send her little sister through college and take little sister's husband in as a partner in his business, as soon as little sister finds a husband. The Bulletin has supported the park since the first. We agree with Maurine that the governor's position, as outlined by Dan Allen, has been of no help to her efforts. But she's had no help, either from Durno, Morse, Green, Ullman, or the Kennedy administration. Laying the whole blame at the governor s door is not quite right. WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Jackie's India frip has proved fo be successful Freedom Francisco Franco says his Spanish people love freedom. They've got It, too, he says. Then he adds that the kind of freedom they love Is orderly freedom, not the messy kind. And this seems to be true. Every Spaniard is perfectly free, in public or In private, to agree with Franco. But he must be orderly about it. (Eugene Register-Guard) c rificism of Anderson not quite justified Lloyd Anderson, a director of the Mldstate Electric Cooperative at La Pine, was recalled from office by fellow cooperative members at the group's annual meeting Monday. Anderson lias been an outspoken opponent of some of the coop's manage ment practices in recent months. His recall must be interpreted as a success ful attempt to "spank" him by other directors and the manager of the co operative, George Larimer. Quite often community fights In small communities generate more heat than In larger ones. This is tine because the smaller the area and number of persons Involved, the more likelv every one is to know the personalities In a d'smite, the quicker everyone is to take sides. This Is certainly true in this case. Anderson has been the center of a storm in LaPine for several months. Various efforts have been made by his opponents to get even with him. Some of the tactics which have been used were unfair, centering as they did on attempts to harm his re lations with his employer, the U.S. Forest Service. Others, such as the at tack upon him by retiring coop Presi dent Merritt Y. Parks, were in poor taste. Anderson Is a man of strong moral and ethical senses. It was his opinion some of the practices of the coop wpj-c open to question. He questioned them, openly. He does not deserve personal attacks for his efforts. By Draw Paarsen WASHINGTON - Inside fact about the current glamor trip of Jacqueline Kennedy is that it eot started by accident and was al most killed by her husband. He preferred that she stay at home. wnat Happened was that Prime Minister Nehru of India, sitting be side Mrs. Kennedy at a White House dinner last November, re marked: "You must come to In dia. She replied: "I'd love to." Mrs. K thought no more about it, but Nehru did. He went home. began conferring with the U.S. Ambassador, Ken G a I b r a i t h. shortly sent a long and detailed itinerary for the First Lady. It took the President by surprise and he got on the telephone to Gail bralth to discourage the trip. Gaibraith, however, is not a man easily discouraged. He was not discouraged when he first plugged for Kennedy for presi dent, a year before the conven tion and when most observers didn't think JFK had a chance. And not being one who surrend ers easily, Gaibraith hopped on a plane and came to Washington to sell Kennedy on the Indian trip ior jacKie. He succeeded. Then President Ayub of Pakis tan got into the act and invited Jackie to come to his country. The implication was that if she went to India without visiting its Diuer rival, Pakistan, that candle lit dinner on the lawn at Mount Vernon would count for nothing. The Indian attack on Goa also complicated things and delayed the trip. Finally, the President looked over Jackie's itinerary and decided it was too arduous. He trumped up the idea that she had sinus trouble, which she didn't have, and cut out several side trips. All reports are, however, that Jackie is having a wonderful lime and winning a lot of friends for the USA, in an area where we need friends and where Khrush chev and Bulganin once spent two eeke on a verv successful barn storming trip. Maybe Mrs. Ken- ledy should travel more. Tel-Aviv to Albany?? The Republicans have quietly started grooming an eventual candidate for governor of N e w York in a manner that confirms the suspicion of Sen. Bill Ful bright of Arkansas. Two years ago when Ogdcn Reid of the famous New York Herald Tribune family was up for con firmation as ambassador to Is rael, Senator Fulbright opposed him on the grounds that he was using the Israeli ambassadorship as a stepping stone to Albany. The diplomatic post in Israel would help him win the big Jew ish vote in running for governor of New York, Fulbright suspected. Reid, however, denied this. He said he had no political ambitions and no foreseeable plans to run for governor of New York or may or of New York or, ho implied, any other New York political post. But up In Westchester county the other day, Edwin Michaclian, Republican boss of the county, quietly served notice on GOP Con gressman Edwin B. Doolcy that he should "move over" and let Ogdcn Reid run instead. He said Doolcy could become chairman of the New York State Fitness Pro gram under Rockefeller at $18,000 year. Doolcy Is an unspectacular, con scientious Republican who was an all-America footballer at Dart mouth, wrote sports for the old New York Sun. even wrote a foot ball novel, "Under the Goal Posts." He has served faithfully Congress for six years, but now the party bosses say ho should move over in favor of young Reid. So far Doolcy has de clined. It looks as if Senator Fulbright was right after all. Ii Hltlorism Coming Back? For the first lime since the war, a meeting is being held on Ameri can soil where tho revision of German borders along Hitler lines is due for discussion. Tho meet ing being held In Chicago this week has already raised alarms in Poland and Czechoslovakia partly because one of the leading West German revisionists. Bundestag member Weufel Jaksch, will be one of the speak ers. Jaksrh is one of the most active German leaders in demanding that tho Sudetenland be taken away from Czechoslovakia and given to Germany, also that upper Silesia be taken from Poland and returned to Germany. It was the seizure of the Sude tenland by Hitler in 1038 that raised the first signal tli.it World War II was imminent, and it was the seizure of Poland by Hitler that precipitated World War II. The Chicago meeting is held un der the auspices of the Founda tion of Foreign Affairs and the Herder Institute of Marburg. West Germany, for the purpose of dis cussing Fast European affairs. This is what makes East Euro peans jittery about U.S. support for West Germany and makes uiem adamant against any nu- clear arms in West German hands. B-70 Lobbying Both Secretary of Defense Rob ert McNamara and Congressman carl Vinson of Georgia have been wooing supporters behind the scenes in their battle as to wheth- cr Congress should or should not vote money for the B-70 which the Kennedy administration says it doesn't need. McNamara, age 45, went around to see crusty Congressman Gar ence Cannon of Missouri, chair man of the Appropriations Com mittee, to try to get him to block the money. The 83-year-old Can non was inclined to stick with his 79-year-old colleague from Geor gia. Vinson meanwhile went around to see southern friends on his own Armed Services Committee, and ai a iwo-nour closed-door argu ment over the B-70 it appeared that he had won some support irom td Hcbert of Louisiana and Mendel Rivers of South Carolina So many Democrats cross examined McNamara, however, that GOP Congressman Leon Gavin of Pennsylvania demanded to know if Vinson planned to con fine the questioning to Democrats and "cut off Republicans." He asked McNamara: "Do you real ly have any plans to make use of this additional money?" "Quite frankly, we do not antici pate any need for the additional amount," said McNamara. 'In that case, the House Ap propriations Committee might not appropriate the money, even if we authorized it." suggested Gavin. It a happened before. What makes you think they won't do it to us again, Mr. Chairman?" I m not overlooking that pos sibility," replied the wily Vinson who did not let on that Appro priations Chairman Cannon was on his side. "However, that's their responsibility. We're doing our job here. Regardless of what the secretary says, I'm still con vinced that missiles aren't the whole answer to our future de fense. The manned bomber will continue to play a vital role. I.'---'-' ;.T i vf U 1 i v.

Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy asked Congress Tuesday to close loopholes in the present federal ban on beatings imposed on pris oners in the guise of law enforce ment. In a message sent to congres sional leaders. Kennedy also ap pealed for stiffer fines and jail sentences for anyone convicted of such offenses. Gat Threa Convictions Burke Marshall, assistant attor ney general in charge of the civil rights division, said only three convictions for police brutality have been obtained during 12 prosecutions in the two years ending last June 30. Four cases arc still pending in the courts. Yet the department received more than l.OOO complaints alleg ing police mistreatment or co erced confessions during this pe riod, Marshall said. Approval of the new proposal would "ease the burden of proof" in such cases, he said. Kennedy told Congress that the present federal law is too vague and the penalties are too inade quate for cases in which victims of brutality receive severe injur ies or die. Under Supreme Court rulings, he added, police accused of beat ings or forcing confessions often are successful in pleading that they did not realize a prisoner's constitutional guarantees were being violated. The present maximum penal ties a $1,000 fine and one year in prison would be increased to a 55.000 fine and a life sen tence if the bill is approved. The U. S. Civil Rights Commis sion recommended such legisla tion In its 1961 report on the ad ministration of Justice. Although most law enforcement officers do their job properly, the commis sion said, police brutality is still a serious problem in many parts of the country and Negroes suffer more than any other group. Rangeland improvement plan fold PORTLAND (UPI) A seven- year program to improve South east Oregon rangelands was an nounced here Tuesday by Karl S. Landstrom, national director of the Bureau of Land Management. Landstrom announced plans to ipend 516.5 million on the 6'i million acre Vale Project in Mal heur County. The project also in cludes small portions of Harney and Grant Counties. Landstrom said management practices will be intensilied on federal, state and private lands within the project. The govern ment will offer ranchers unused land for areas under treatment to prevent reduction in the number of livestock being grazed. Russell M. Getty, BLM state di rector, said 73 per cent of the four million acres of BLM land in the Vale district supports only a fraction of the vegetative cover that once existed, and 32 per cent of the land is deteriorating under present use. Getty said the land can be re habilitated by reseeding. brush eradication, erosion control, de velopment of water supplies and intensive management of live stock. The Vale Project will be used as a pilot program to demonstrate what can be done in other parts of Eastern Oregon, Idaho, Ne vada, and parts of Utah and Cali fornia, Landstrom said. Ship strike in 6th day SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - The West Coast maritime strike moved into its sixth day today with no indication of a settlement, although both sides in the dispute have agreed to concessions on some strike issues. Three striking Maritime unions sailors, firemen and cooks and stewards agreed Tuesday to per mit immediate sailing of two ves sels with military cargo, mclud- ing 1.500 tons of nuclear test material for Christmas Island. The agreement between the unions and the Pacific Maritime Association, representing the em ployers, also will allow passenger ships at Honolulu to return with their passengers to West Coast ports. However, there were no negotia tions scheduled between the PMA and the striking unions which would bring an end to the walk out. When negotiations broke down, the unions announced that the parties were still $6 million apart on a new three-year con tract. Tho strike thus far has idled about 30 vessels, including four passenger liners in San Fran cisco. DEATH REPORTED NEWPORT, Ore. (ITP-Jesse Himmelsbach, 67, Portland, col lapsed and died while inspecting property south of here Tuesday. He was the father of Baker County Dist. Atty. Jesse Him melsbach Jr. The coroner's office said death apparently was due to a heart attack.

Mark Hatfield said Tuesday Sen. Mau rine Neuberger, D-Ore., "needs to clarify her stand on what re mains to be compromised" in her legislation to create a national recreation area in the Oregon Dunes. Hatfield said Mrs. Neuberger still hasn't agreed to changes which would give tho state first say over fish and game resour ces, and oil and mineral rights wunin me proposed park. Hatfield has said he favors dunes park development if the state has such guarantees. The late Sen. Richard L. Neu berger, D-Ore., was cooperating with the state on such matters, Hatfield said, but state officials are not getting "this kind of co operation from the second Sen. Neuberger." Hatfield was asked at his news conference why his "Decade of Development" report on natural resources doesn't mention t h e dunes. He explained that no spe cific developments are mentioned by name in the report. Hatfield noted, however, that the report urges the federal gov ernment to spend more money on recreational development in Ore gon, and this would include the dunes. Approval given airport money SEASIDE (UPI)-A reouest for $8,000 to assist in runway recon struct ion at the Lakeview Airport was approved Tuesday at a meet ing of the State Board of Aero nautics here. Tho city of Lakeview and Lake County had asked for the monev. which will be added to federal funds. The board also reviewed its re quests for federal funds to assist in building two new airports at Brookings and Cottage Grove and improving fields at Seaside and Hermiston. Eichmann put in special cell JERUSALEM. Israel (UPI) -Adolf Eichmann, sentenced to hang for the mass murder of mil lions of Jews during World War II, was transferred early today from his prison cell near Te! Aviv to a special cell in the Beit Haam Court building here. The former Nazi officer's ap peal of his death sentence will tie neard by an Israeli court Thursday. Plane quest is cut back CLARK AFB, Philippines (UPI) A few weary flight crews today kept up the almost hopeless task of searching for a Flying Tiger airliner that vanished last week with 107 persons aboard. Planes and crews have been fly ing as long as 12 hours daily and only six planes from Clark Field took to the air this morning. The Air Force said it was forced to cut back on the search because of crew fatigue and the need for aircraft maintenance. Five days of intensive search had extended crews and their planes to the limits of safety as they scoured 240,000 square milei of some of the loneliest expanses of ocean in the world.
