'Jfllv. of Oregon Litrary EU3S.NE, OREGON Eichmann. hanged totr ro ems aught er of Jem JERUSALEM, Israel (UPI) Adolf Eichmann's body was cre mated and the ashes scattered on the Mediterranean early today within hours of the moment he was hanged as history's most monstrous mass murderer still unrepentant for his role in t h e Nazi slaughter of 6 million Jews. A slight smile played over the lips of the former SS colonel as a prison official announced "ready" and the trap door was sprung. He was pronounced dead at two minutes before mid night Thursday (5:50 p.m., EDT). For Israel it was a shallow vic tory that could not possibly bal ance a carnage so bestial that the Israeli supreme court said no punishment could be severe enough. To the end Eichmann remained defiant. He claimed in his trial he was only a little cog in the Nazi machine. In his final appeal for mercy he blamed the slaught er on other Nazi "leaders" whom he did not identify. Walks To Callows As he walked his last steps to the gallows at Ramie prison out-1 side Tel Aviv he told Dr. Robert Hull, a Canadian Protestant mis sionary: "I'm taking it calmly with peace in my heart which is to me proof that I was correct." Just before he died he pro claimed: "I tried to obey the laws of war and my flag." The Rev. Dr. Hull, who had many talks with Eichmann the last few weeks of his life, plead ed with Eichmann on the last walk to "return to Jesus." Eichmann seemed to ignore him. He refused a Bible. But among his last words wore: "I live believing in God, and believ ing in God I die." Four and a half hours later the body of the 56-year-old Nazi race exterminator was removed from the fortress prison and cremated. The ashes were spread over the sea from' an Israeli police boat. The state of Israel wasted no time in snuffing out Eichmann's life after the supreme court turned down his legal appeal on Tuesday. President Itzhak Ben-Zvi speed ily rejected the clemency appeal, closing the last avenue of hope, and the orders went out for the first execution In Israel's 14-year history. Eichmann walked the last 50 yards from the death cell to a stuffy little prison room where a white rope noose dangled from a metal chain attached to a stout crossbeam over a platform. He walked militarily erect, wearing a dark brown shirt and slacks with a reddish tinge. He was offered a hood to put over his face but spurned it with the words: "I don't need it" Rtadt Statement Facing a small j;Toup of wit nesses, including a newsman from Germany, Eichmann said in a farewell statement, in German, "After a short while, gentlemen, we shall all meet again. This is the fate of til men. Long live Germany, long live Argentina, long live Austria. "These are the three countries which I have been most associat ed with and 1 shall never forget them. Remember me to my wife, family and friends. I tried to obey the laws of war and my flag. "I am ready." "Ready," echoed a prison offi cial. "Ready," he repeated. The executioner tripped the mechanism. Eichmann's body dropped two meters (a little over six feet) and stopped, dangling at the end of the rope. "Jesus, Jesus," whispered Dr. Hull softly. This was Hie end for Adolf Eichmann who once told a subordinate: "I will jump into my grave laughing, for to know that I have S million people on my conscience will be a source of extraordinary satisfaction." Eats Rtgular Far Eichmann did not get a chance to requost a special last meal. He already had eaten the regular prison fare of bread, cheese and olives when word came that he was to be executed within hours. Dr. Hull said he became "very bitter" that his appeal had been turned down. He ordered a bot tle of wine and drank half of it. He made no last requests but just before leaving the death cell he received and read two letters that had just arrived from his brother, Robert, in West Ger many. Dr. Hull said Eichmann refused to "accept Jesus Christ" and would not read portions of the Bible with him. "He told us we looked sad,' said Hull. "We told him we were, Eichmann answered 'I'm not sad.' " The missionary said Eichmann seemed "slightly defiant." When he stepped to the gallows he complained that his ankles, Knees ana hands were tied so tightly he could not stand proper ly. They were, adjusted mort comfortably.

(Standard Time) CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 59th Year Ten Pages Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Friday, June 1, 1962 Ten Cents No. 150 Library caught in middle of feud City continues tug-of-war with county over library financing By Bill Thompson Bulletin Staff Writer The Bend city budget commit tee appears about ready to tie up the few remaining strings on the 1962-63 fiscal year funds. Tentatively approved thus far, with only minor additions or de letions, have been budgets for airport operation, the building de partment, cemetery, engineering department, fire department, gen eral government, legal and judic ial, non-departmental, park de partment, parking meter depart ment, police department and pub lic recreation department. Committee members have add ed $1,000 for the airport operation and $3648.36 for a supplementary park budget. They have deleted $200 off build ing department mileage, $4577 off the library budget and $200 off trips to conventions (both non-departmental items) and $761.27 off police car repairs. Sum Trimmed Thus, through Thursday night's meeting, budget members have trimmed $1089.91 off the original proposed tax levy of $325,624.28. The administration has also pro posed a $35 per-month-per-em-ploye pay increase which would bring the budget close to the max imum figure allowed ($347,473.71) under the six per cent tax limita tion rule. It is not anticipated that the city will exceed the six per cent limitation this year, eliminating need for a special election. At tonight's meeting, scheduled for 7:30 in the city hall, budget members are expected to decide the fate of the pay raise proposi tion after checking budgets for re funds and credits, the state tax street fund, street department and water department. Item Reinstated Last night the budget board re instated a $1500 non-departmental item for the Tri County Health Market prices drop gradually NEW YORK (UPD Prices dropped gradually today in an other day of heavy trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Buying and selling proceeded at a brisk pace, but there appeared little chance it would approach the volume of "blue Tuesday" when 14,750,000 shares changed hands In the greatest trading since the crash of 1929. At 9 a.m. PDT, volume totaled 2.320.000 shares. For a time the ticker ran up to 19 minutes be hind with its reports, then began to catch up. By 9:40 a.m., the tape caught up with transactions, the first time during the week It had been cur rent at that hour and practically the first moment at any time in four days of trading after the im mediate openings. There were no really abrupt drops, and some prices recovered a litUe by 9 a.m. from their day's lows. Prices had advanced Thurs day. REHIRES AUDITOR WASHINGTON (UPI) Gov ernment officials said today that Jerry M. Jackis, a former U.S. foreign aid auditor who protested the mingling of U.S. and Commu nist aid in Cambodia, has been rehired by the Agency for Inter national Development as an ad ministrative assistant. Ambassador Js 'exposed' af Hatfields SALEM (UPI) A saving fac to? Thursday when the 3-year-old daughter of Gov. Mark Hatfield exposed British Ambassador Da vid Ormsby-Gore to the mumps hore was that none of the am bassador's children were with him, a Hatfield aide pointed out today with a weak smile. Sir David and his wife who also had lunch with the Hatfield family at the governor's home- have five children. Both Ormsby-Gores were unwit tingly exposed to the mumps by Elizabeth Hatfield, eldest of the governor's two children. And the worst part the Hat field aide admitted was that when the ambassador and his wife left here late Thursday and returned to Seattle, they were to officially greet Prince Philip to day in the Century 21 city. This is what happened: After lunch, the ambassador romped in fatherly fashion with little Elizabeth, a name of which ambassador is particularly fond. The second Hatfield child, 2-year-old Mark Jr., joined the frolic too. It was lots of fun. Sir David and his wife left in the afternoon. Thursday evening, to the stunned governor and first lady, came word from the family doc tor that Elizabeth has the mumps. He added that both Ormsby Gores were thoroughly exposed. Hatfield's press secretary, Trav is Cross, was still making frantic phone calls to Seattle when the sun went down here Thursday and he never was able to get through to Sir David. "International incidents," he moaned, "have been built on less." Family away as home burns PORTLAND (UPI) - Fire caused some $10,000 damage to a Portland home early today while its owner was away. Neighbors said Mrs Shirley Ap let had left with one daughter Thursday on a trip to Disneyland. Two other children were left at another Portland address. Cause of the fire was under investigation. Department, with stipulation that this was a county function and that, in the future, the city ex pects the county to shoulder the entire load. But budget members remained firm on their desire to operate the Deschutes County Library on a 30-70 basis this year, with the city picking up the 30 per cent tab. And they refused to put back an item of $4,577 trimmed off the city's share of the library budget last week. This, city budget members say, is in line with an agreement set up two years ago whereby the city's share of the library budget is decreased 10 per cent each year until the library is completely a county function. The county, not recognizing any such agreement, has asked the city to participate on the same ba sis as last year a 40-60 spat. Lattar Rtad County Judge D. L. Penhollow, in a letter to the city budget group, said the city's reduction of its share this year would make it necessary for the county to low er its estimated receipts and thus cut the total proposed $45,770 library budget by $4577. City budget members argue that Bend citizens are already sharing a major portion of the county tax load. They repeated their earlier statement that the library budget was sound. The only reduction last night was the $761.27 deletion for police vehicle repair, budget members okaying funds for two new police cars. Present 1961 and 1959 mo dels, scheduled for trade-ins, have chalked up more than 70.000 and 90,000 miles respectively. To tal police budget now stands at $93,367.42. The budget group also approv ed a $42,827.06 public recreation budget after rejecting 12-2 a mo tion bv member Eddie William son to hold the recreation budget at last year's figure of $40,229. E. L. Nielsen also voted lor the reduction. Onlv additional recreation items are $1625 for a swimming pool bag check system and replace ment of a 1948 pickup ($1700). Summer reading program starts Monday, June 11 The summer reading program of the Deschutes County Library for all first, second and third graders starts Monday, June 11. This is a reading and art pro gram. Every child reading four books will be given a picture of a peacock on a white card. With every two books read, the boy or girl will add a color to a feather in the peacock's tail, until all twelve feathers are beautifully colored in all the colors of the rainbow. In addition to the fu of reading there will be the fun of working with colors. The program continues until August 15. All children in (he pri mary grades are invited. Action aimed at changes in apportioning SALEM (UPD-After a brisk and lengthy debate, the Oregon Constitution Revision Commission today approved a plan that would make some major changes in leg islative reapportionment. Distribution of lawmaker seats, however, would still be largely along the lines of population. The vote was 9-6. The recommendation will go be fore the 1963 legislature. Major items in the proposal In clude: Lifting the ceilings on 60 members of the House and 30 In the Senate, allowing the member ship of each House to be expand ed as necessary. Requiring that the disparity between the amount of people each solon represents be no great er than 2-1. The House, as now, could be no bigger than twice the size of the Senate. Seats, as now, must be re apportioned after each 10 year federal census, but in applying the formula for allocation, such factors as geography, transporta tion and communications between areas must be considered. In setting up legislative dis tricts, county lines can be ig nored. Holmes Makas Motion The commissioner who made the motion, former Gov. Robert D. Holmes, said the "real teeth" of the plan is the 2-1 disparity idea. This means that the legis lator who represents .the biggest constituency can't represent more than twice as many people as the legislator who has the smallest constituency. The idea is to keep districts in better bal ance. Voting no on the package were State Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney. D-Portland; former Gov. Charles A. S o r a g u e, Salem: Robert Chandler, Bend publisher; state Rep. Stafford Hansell, R-Hermis-ton: William Sweetland, Klamath Falls publisher, and Chairman George Layman, R-Newberg. Earlier the commission defeated a motion by State Rep. Clarence Barton, D-Coquille, that would have retained the present system except the House would have a new ceiling of 65 and the Senate 35. It failed 8-7, with Barton him self killing it by changing his vote from yes to no at the last minute. The main proposal approved carried a Chandler amendment that requires the Senate never be smaller than one third of the House, capping the twice as big provision the other way. The debate included a ra'hcr hot exchange at one point be tween Hansell and law professor Han Linde, Eugene.

The jj'.illetin learned this morn ins that this year's meet was ci cellcd at a special meeting Tues day evtjing, although no an nouncement was made to either schools or communications media. The '62 meet was first sched uled for Saturday. April 28, and drew a record 700 entrants, In cluding 550 boys and girls in the first through sixth grades. Inclement ather KO'd the first meet, and it was resched uled tor May 12. But that date was switched to Saturday, June 2. when it was noted that high school athletes and coaches would be Involved in a subdistrict meet at The Dalles May 12. The prospect of better weather in June was also a reason for the switch Dr. Richard II. Ettinger, chair man of this year's event, ciled lack of interest as the reason (or cancelling the '62 Olympics. "Track coach Hoot Moore said there were only three boys In the junior high age bracket Interest ed," Ettinger said. "He also noted lack of Interest among grade school participants." Moore said he felt the meet should be held during the track season In the spring. He said he and other track coaches felt the meet was an anti-climax after the regular season. He also said people were tak ing vaaations and several kiys were playing baseball. City recreation director vi-e Genna said he was disappointed that the meet had been camel led, o He said there were no baseball conflicts Saturday other than one Rookie League game with Gil christ. And he pointed out that It would be tougher to get the Olympics started again, once a meet was cancelled (or a year. Dr. Ittimar sni4 .tire Rotary Club as plaiaainf on scheduling tfci, meet icxt spring during track season; setting a primary date and also a secondary date. The Rotary Olympics Ks had a history of bad weather in the spring, with last year s meet fi nally being held in August and drawing about 100 youngsters. Grade school principals, con tacted this morning, said they were unaware that the Olympics had been cancelled (or the year. MOSCOW (UPD The Soviet government raised the prices of meat and butter today in an ef fort to bolster Russia's faltering farm production. Russian shoppers grumbled but decided there was little they could do about it The Communist leadership blamed the United States for the move. It said money cannot be diverted from defense needs to agricultural development because American-led "International reac tion" is engaged In sabor-rattling and a feverish arms race. An announcement from the Com munist party, which controls the government and all trading opera tions, set the increase on meat at an average 30 per cent and 25 per cent on butter. The increases came less than three months after Premier Nikita Khrushchev announced a sweep ing program aimed at solving the country s perennial problems on the state and collective farms. Say Boosts Temporary The party said it was hoped the increases would be temporary and that the agricultural reforms would eliminate the difficulties soon. The announcement, which was broadcast by Moscow Radio and occupied the entire front page of the party newspaper Pravda, said retail prices on sugai and staple fabrics would be cut. Underscoring the need for incen tives for farmers, the party said the problems could not be solved by reducing incomes distributed by collective farms. "This measure would reduce the material incentives to the collec tive farmers and would under mine the economic foundations of collective farm production, it said. The party said the price in creases were needed to offset the higher purchase prices to be paid for livestock and poultry from the farms. Word of the increases leaked out before the official announcement, sotting off a run on stores by housewives Thursday. Russians went about their shop ping with resignation today. "Worse Durinj War" "We lived even worse during the war years and still we are alive,' said one shopper, a pensioner. A student sajd, "There are some things you just have to do, so grin and bear it A schoolteacher said he will have more trouble feeding his family but, "What must be done must be done." "We won't be able to have meat every day now," he said, "But didn't they say it was only a tem porary measure? An ice cream vendor said "It's going te hit the working man very hard." Sums- f (be taerease werei Butter up from $3.19 a kilogram (2.2 pounds) to $3.96; hams from $3.19 to $4.07; sausages from $1.87 kilogram to 2.53; turkey from 22 to $3.03. Admits Failures Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev admitted at a party central com mittee meeting in March that farm output goals for 1961 war far from fulfilled. He cited wide spread deficiencies in grain, meat and dairy products, and warned that the farm failures were en dangering the seven-year develop ment plan. Moscow Radio said this morn ing that more money is needed to stimulate farm production, and that state funds cannot be divert ed from heavy Industry and de fense expenditures. It blamed American-led "international reac tion" for the need to maintain de' fen so development.
