CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 59th Year Eight Pages Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Saturday, December 1, 1962 Ten Cents No. 305 Pope better, appear on Sunday VATICAN CITY (UPI) -Ecumenical Council delegates were told today that Pope John XXUl's condition has improved so much he will be able to appear on his balcony Sunday for his regular Sunday blessing of the crowd in St Peter's Square. A council delegate told United Press International that Msgr. Pericle Felici, secretary of the council, had made the announce ment at today's session. The 81-year old Pontiff has been 01 since Tuesday with stomach trouble and anemia, and Vatican officials are worried about his health despite continued state ments that his condition is improv ing. If the Pope does appear for the blessing, it will be the first time he has been seen by the public Since last Sunday. He apparently eaught a cold while celebrating his 81st birthday then, and this complicated the stomach trouble and anemia he already had. First Time Mtntioned Today's announcement in the council was the first time the Pope's health has been mentioned officially there. But there have been several of ficial communiques to the public, end all have been optimistic. High Vatican sources said that it is true that the Pope Is better, but "further checks" are being car. tied out and doctors treating him fere not certain of his exact ail ment. The sources said the pontiff "spent a good night" Friday night Hid awoke feeling better. The pa pal physician. Prof. Antonio Gas barrini, visited him this morning. His doctors are urging him to remain in bed so that he will be hie to attend closing ceremonies of the first session of the Ecu menical Council Dec. 8. It was learned that if he does attend the ceremonies will be shortened. The council took up what may be its last subject before the re acts, tV draft "De Ecclesia" about the church. Msgr. John C. Heenan, archbishop of Liverpool, England, said Friday that exami nation of the draft will begin the "moment of truth." "Each of the council fathers will be able to say if the church of Christ Is achieving the will of Christ," he said. "Until now, only the most external parts have been examined, and not the life of the church itself." The De Ecclesia draft explores the nature and functions of the church, its teachings and au thority. It also deals with church state relations, and the powers of the Vatican and the bishops.

Haf field proposes record $405.3 million budget; seeking net receipts, fag faxes SALEM (UPI) - Gov. Mark Hatfield today called for a $405.3 million general fund budget for the 1963-65 biennium the highest in the state's history and proposed a net receipts tax and a tax on cigarettes to finance it. The governor said he would ask a $45 million bond program t o finance construction of higher edu cation buildings. He also called for elimination of the (1 annual liquor pur chaser's permit fee, and an in crease of about 15 cents per bot tle on the price of liquor. Hatfield recommended a special election be held during the legis lative session so voters could ex press their view's on the bonding proposal and proposed new taxes. He called for a 4 cent a pack tax on cigarettes. Hatfield called for the liquor price increase to take effect Feb. 1, 1963. He called for strict economy on the part of all state departments for the remainder of the current biennium to keep the state from running into the red. He also re commended the 1963 Legislature return to the general fund from the veterans' bond sinking fund $5.5 million which was advanced from general tax sources to initi ate the veterans' farm and home loan program. "As you review this report. Indians refuse Chinese troop NEW DELHI (UPI) The In dian government refused to say whether the Communist Chinese were withdrawing from their border positions on schedule to day. But a statement read to news men by a Defense Ministry spokesman seemed to indicate that the Indian army would not attempt to reoccupy territory giv en up by the Red forces when they do withdraw. Earlier. Peking broadcasts said Communist Chinese troops would begin their withdrawal from for ward positions along uie bino-in-dian border today, but Indian of ficials could not confirm that the move actually had begun. That still was the situation when the spokesman read a state ment at the regular 5:15 p.m. (6:45 a.m. EST) press briefing. He said he had nothing to add to the vaguely-worded prepared statement, which did not mention whether the Red Chinese actually were pulling back. No Clarification The spokesman also refused to Portland zoo gets flock of penguins PORTLAND (UPI) Portland Zoo director Jack Marks, herding a flock of Antarctic penguins, was due to arrive at Portland Air Base at 11 a.m. today. Marks chose 20 adult male and female emporer penguins and 20 Adelies from the Coulman island flock in the Antarctic and flew them back to Portland with the help of the U.S. Air Force. This is Marks' third penguin ex pedition to the Antarctic. He has been on the ice cap for about three weeks gathering the birds. The Portland Zoo presently has 7 emporers, 1 adelie and 9 hum- boldts left from previous expedi tions. Some of the birds in the two earlier catches died after becom ing infected with aspergilosis, lung disease brought on by the sudden contact with germs not present in the Antarctic's rarified atmosphere. Little, if any, loss was expected on this trip because of new methods of treating the birds developed since Marks' first jour ney south. Mikoyan made in WASHINGTON (LTD Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mi koyan left here for Moscow today, declaring that some progress had been made in his high level talks with President Kennedy and other U. S. officials on Cuba and other cold war issues. The Kremlin troubleshooter said as he boarded his plane at near by Andrews Air Force Base that he thought the discussions over the last two days had helped "bring our positions together." Describing h i s conversations with tne President and Secretary of State Dean Rusk as useful Mi koyan said the differences be Hatfield said, "you will find that it is the explosion in school en rollment that requires courageous measures to continue to provide adequate educational opportunity for our youth. "We cannot afford to do less," he said. Extra Sarvkat Sean Hatfield explained present pro grams could be strengthened and continued with a budget of $356.6 million. But the $405.3 million amount is needed to provide ex panded services. The budget requested by Hat field for the 1961-63 biennium was $358,830,000. The legislature adopt ed a $366,779,000 spending pro gram. Hatfield said the state would receive $357.5 million from current sources: $216.7 million from per sonal income tax, $48 million from corporate income and excise tax es, $34 million from liquor reven ues, and $58.3 million from inter est on state investments and other sources. On the expenditure side, $356.6 million is proposed to continue "and strengthen" present pro grams. Included in this sum are the following increases over 1961-63- $300 .000 for expanded vocational rehabilitation services, $350,000 for community mental health clinics, $2,960,000 for public assistance to confirm withdrawal clarify whether It was India's in tention not to reoccupy the areas vacated by the Communists, al though that was indicated in the statement. The spokesman declined to say whether the Indians would with draw in Ladakh. He described the statement he gave out as. "perfectly clear.' Radio Peking and the Commu nist New China news agency, in transmissions after the deadline set by Peking for the start of the withdrawal, did not say It actual ly had begun. The Indian government radio did not carry the Chinese statements, and there was no official comment. But officials said prl vately that soma Chinese units apparently began pulling back ahead of schedule Friday. They cautioned, however, that there was no way of telling whether the moves were a trick or the real thing. Charges Mada The Communist broadcasts cou pled withdrawal statements with strong attacks on India for alleg- edly planning to strike at the Chinese army during the truce period. Western observers said the broadcasts could be an ad vance justification for renewed fighting by China. The broadcasts, heard in Tokyo, charged that India was "stall. ing for time to rebuild its badly smashed army and then reject the Chinese proposals and, hav. ing equipped its army with up-to-date arms supplied by the West, renew its attacks on China. China also warned India, in note from Premier Chou En-Lai to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, that "the withdrawal by China alone of its frontier guards cannot ensure the disengagement of the armed forces of the two sides, nor can it prevent the re currence of border clashes. Still In Ladakh The Chinese withdrawal, if takes place, will not in any case remove Chinese troops entirely from territory India claims. Pe king agreed only to return to posi tions 12'4 miles "from the line of actual control of Nov. 7, 1959.' This would leave Communist troops in Ladakh, in the north west area of the border. India has insisted that the Chin ese abandon this area as well as their gains in the northeast, where they apparently have agreed to pull back. It estimates the size of the Indian territory under Chinese occupation in Ladakh at 10,000 square miles. says some progress his talks in U. S. tween the United States and Rus sia must be settled peacefully or they will lead to a "dangerous situation." However, U. S. officials be lieved that Mikoyan failed to find any soft spots in Kennedy's stand on Cuba or other crucial prob lems. They said Mikoyan'i talks not only failed to lessen remaining differences on Cuba but gave no indication of a possible diplomat ic breakthrough on other major East-West stalemates. They expressed hope however that U. S. firmness on all fronts would convince Soviet Premier programs, $170,000 for higher edu cation scholarships, $215,000 for elementary and secondary school TV, plus $333,000 added support for natural resources agencies, and $363,000 in operation of the state's correctional and penal in stitutions. The remainder of the budget supported by general revenues consists of seven items, four of them reflecting the state's com mitment to the goal of adequate educational opportunity, the gov ernor said. They are: $1.6 million for the state's two-thirds share of the in creased operating costs of com munity colleges, $12.2 million for the System of Higher Education enrollment increases, $10.2 mil lion because of 1961 and 1965, $11.4 million for a $10 per school census child increase in the basic school support fund, $1.8 million for expanded population and im proved services at institutions for the mentally retarded, $6.5 mil lion for salary adjustments to keep state salaries competitive, and $5 million for that portion of the capital construction program to be financed from current rev enues. Nat Receipts Tax The governor said reform of the income tax to incorporate a net receipts tax would raise $23 million. Adoption of a cigarette tax at four cents per package would raise $18 million, he said. For higher education buildings, Hatfield asked a $45 million bond issue, and said expenditures in the 1963-65 biennium should not be less than $20 million. 'The bonding authority must be requested of the people, since a constitutional amendment is re quired," he said. It is my recommendation that this election should be held dur ing the legislative session and that the tax proposals should be submitted for popular approval at the same time. "If this Is done, the legislature may then match expenditures and revenues In accord with the people's decision." Hatfield said. The governor also recommended that college tuition rates be In. creased above present levels by $10 per term for Oregon residents and $20 per term for others in 1963- 64. Further increases of $5 and $10 are recommended for 1964- 65. Ex-Wyoming senator dies WASHINGTON (UPI) -Former Wyoming Senator Joseph C. O' Mahoney, a man who served 24 years in the Senate and prided himself on his independence and his battles against monopolies, died early today. The former Democratic lawmak er was 78. O'Mahoney died in Be- thesda Naval Hospital, but the cause of death was not yet known. A champion of natural resource conservation, O'Mahoney won his first Senate election in 1934, he was returned to office for two more terms, but went down to de feat in his bid for re-election in 1952. But two years later he was do ing business at the same old Sen ate seat having defeated Republi can William H. Harrison. In 1959, a stroke put an end to O'Mahoncy's political career. He spent the last three months of the session in the hospital. A westerner with a Boston ac cent, O'Mahoncy's greatest pride was his independence. He was a party regular but strayed from the reservation, particularly to fight former President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Supreme Court packing plan In 1937. Born in Massachusetts, he settled in Wyo ming and launched his political career In 1932 as a delegate to the Democratic National Conven tion that first nominated Franklin Roosevelt. He rose to chair the military appropriations subcommittee and had a big voice in defense spend ing prior to 1953.

Bridge defeat would result in service cuts By Gerald Drapeau Bulletin Staff Wrlttr City manager Hal Puddy has furnished figures showing to what extent city services must be chop ped if voters fail to aprove bond financing of the Portland Avenue bridge. A second election, necessary because the first held in 1961 was ruled illegal on a technicality, is scheduled December 14. As in lSKil it will ask voters to approve $90,000 to pay for erection of the bridge now being raised over Uie Deschutes by contractor Robert L. Coats. Puddy and city commissioners have instituted an alternate five year financing plan, just in case voters turn thumbs down on Uie bond issue this time. It would cost tho city approximately $22,000 a year for the next five years of money drained from city services provided in the fiscal budget. Roughly speaking, these reductions would take effect: 1. Cut one fireman. . .$5,000. 2. Cut one policeman. . .$4,3(10. 3. Cut maintenance of dirt streets by one-third. . , $1,000. 4. Cut out park improvements . . .$3,000. 5. Cut down on swimming pool and baseball programs. . .$3,000. 6. Cut out municipal band sup port 50 per cent. . .$1,500. Total reductions. . .$22,800. On the other hand. Puddy em phasized, the $90,000 bond indebt edness paid over the originally conceived 15-ycar period would approximate $7,700 per year. This sum, for instance, would cost the owner of a $10,000 residence only about $1.50 annually. Powell release due on Monday SANTA MONICA. Calif.

The two stewardesses, Pat Rich ards and Helen Foumier, both of New York City, were praised by Uie survivors for staying with the flaming wreckage and helping passengers to safety. We kept pushing passengers out," Miss Fournier said, "when e eryone was out that I could see, I jumped to Uie ground." Fred Fleming, Uie Eastern dis patcher, was among Uie victims as were co-pilot Jules Wagner and flight engineer R. L. Voorheos.
