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.

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.

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."

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.

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

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

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

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

5. Cut down on swimming pool

through the fog without the bene
fit of a ground approach radar
system, crashed while landing at
Idlewild Airport Friday night, kill
ing 25 of Uie 51 persons aboard.
The plane, a non-stop flight
from Charlotte, N. C. to New
York, burst into flames and came
to a halt 500 feet from Uie run
way on which another Eastern
flight had landed successfully
about 90 seconds earlier.
Dazed survivors staggered from
Uie wreckage and told of Uie pilot,
veteran CapL Edward Bechtold,
who spent his flying career cru
sading for stricter air safety, as
suring the passengers: "I think
we'll make It" momenta before

Bechtold and two other crew
men were among the dead. Two
stewardesses survived. . '.

were unable to determine imme
diately if the plane had touched
down on the runway, missed it of
veered off after landing.
However, an airport official re
ported several hours later that a
preliminary check showed that the
plane did not touch down on the
runway. He said Uie plane was
on a course parallel to the run
way and struck Uie ground 50
yards east of it, then slithered

Uie survivors for staying with the
flaming wreckage and helping
passengers to safety.
We kept pushing passengers
out," Miss Fournier said, "when

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.
It was the sixth airliner crash
in seven days with a total of 204
dead in Uie disasters.
Floodlights Illuminate Scene
Floodlights from rescue vehicle
played on Uie crash scene in Uie
pre-dawn hours. Smoke and steam
rose from Uie twisted wreckage,

eerie spectacle.
The tail assembly and two twist

nizable pieces of wreckage.
Seventeen of Uie 26 survivors,
including two stewardesses, were
hospitalized.
Fog was so thick over Uie area
at Uie time of Uie crash that res
