State notes claims drop from March SALEM (UPI) Unemploy ment insurance claims in Oregon stood at 2H.551 last week, a drop of several thousand from a month ago, Oregon Employment Cony missloner David Cameron said to day. A monlJi ago claims totaled 33,1128. ' The 28,551 of last week com pares to 42,612 claims a year ago. At the same time the rate of insured unemployment dropped in all areas of Oregon except in La Grande. Lakcview and North Bend. The rate was 7.2 per cent statewide compared to 8.5 a month ago and 10.7 a year ago. One reason the rate dropped was (air weather allowing logging to increase and construction to resume. Wet weather the past month continued to curtail out side activity in the Lakeview area, Cameron said. The highest rate of insured un employment last week was at La Grande with 19.3 per cent. Lako- view was high too, with 19.2. Portland was lowest in Oregon with 4.3 per cent.

S. reserves brings protests WASHINGTON (UPD-The Na tional Guard was expected today to bear the brunt of a sweeping Army plan to eliminate eight divisions and 58,000 men from Uie nalion's civilian reserves. i The loss of divisions was to be divided equally between the Guard and the remaining Re serves, but reliable informants said the Guard would lose 35,000 men as compared to 23,000 for the other Reserves. This would reduce the National Guard from 400.000 to 365,000 and the Reserves from 300,000 to 277,- 000 men. Congressmen Protest The Army plan brought imme diate protests in Congress. Rep. Melvm Laird, R-Wis., said he hoped Congress would block the move. Rep. James Van Zandt. R-Pa., said such cutbacks had been tried before "and if I kn.w Congress they'll stop this one." Rep. Durward G. Hall, R-Mo., said, "I do not believe the Con gress will stand for this kind of nonsense." In a 1,000-word announcement Wednesday the Army said the following divisions, averaging about 9.000 men, were slated to be reduced to brigades of 3,000 to 4,500 men each; National Guard: The 35th Infan try in Kansas and Missouri; the 34th Infantry in Nebraska and Iowa; tho 43rd Infantry in Con necticut, Rhode Island and Ver mont; and the 51st Infantry in Florida and South Carolina. Army Reserves: The ?.Ui Infan try in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware: the !Hth Infantry in Massachusetts: the 9fith Infan try in Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Utah, W hington and Nevada; and the 103i-d Infantry in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Plan Not Final The Army said the plan was "not to be considered final" until after the conclusion of hearings scheduled to begin April 16 be fore the House Armed Services Committee. But the long statement made clear that planning has been car ried out in detail, and that the Army has discarded a proposal which would have spared the National Guard and indicted all of the cuts in the other Reserves. 1 Br laeo L Safe -Sound -Conservative for 72 Years 1031 W.ll St.Ml, ! lV.rgr.n J-llil Horn Office: Porttinrf, Orf Economy run cars near finish line CHICAGO (UPD-The 44 surviv ing cars of the Los Angeles-Detroit Mobil Economy Run left Chicago at dawn today on the last lap of the 2,497-mile grind with a martini glass of gasoline separat ing the leaders. Prestige, industry pride and un- ioia dollars worth of future car sales rode on the light footed drivers eeking every drop of gas out oi uie competing cars. A Rambler American driven by veteran engineer Les Viland led the pack into Chicago Wednesday, averaging 31.36 miles per gallon tor uie 2,097 miles to the check point at Paxton, 111.

SAVINGS 4 IOAN ASSOCIATION Food shortages in Hawaii spur attempt to end fieup SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Severe food shortages in Hawaii and financial losses in the West Coast area today spurred federal officials' efforts to end the three week West toast maritime strike. A three-man panel appointed by Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg has failed to report any progress between representatives of the Pacific Maritime Associa tion and striking seamen, fire men, cooks and stewards. The strike has idled about half of the 120 ships operated by PMA members. Only a few vessels have been released to carry es sential military cargo, including equipment for the nuclear test preparations at Christmas Island. Gov. William F. Quinn has de clared a state of emergency in Hawaii because of dwindling food supplies. The island state filed suit in federal court Wednesday to get cargo unloaded from strike bound vessels tied up in Honolulu harbor. Quinn also has made four re quests to President Kennedy re questing that he authorize use of military transportation to rush emergency food supplies to the Island. In addition, Quinn asked the President to rolease surplus military supplies already in the islands. To date, the President has taken no action on Quinn's requests. The governor said there was less than a two-week supply on hand of more than 20 basic com modities including rice, butter, flour, frozen meats and other gro cery items. Several small businesses in Ha waii have been forced to close their doors and the state's pine apple and sugar industries have been crippled. In California, the California and Hawaiian sugar refining corpora tion shut down its Crockett, Calif.. refinery March 24 idling 1,100 of the plant's 1,500 employes.

The $57 million would be raised through government retention of 2 cents per gallon on the excise tax on gasoline used in boats, which would yield more than $12 million, and a new use tax which would yield about $45 million. It was part of a revenue plan to finance a national conservation program outlined to Congress by the President earlier this year. Kennedy recommended four pri mary revenue sources which would be used for maintaining existing federal recreational areas and acquiring new ones. They are: Admission fees to the areas. Diversion of proceeds from sale of federal surplus non-military buildings and land.
