The man was taken from the court THE BEND 59th Year Gov. Hatfield raps federal Guard plans SALEM (UPI) - The federal government was accused by Gov. Mark Hatfield of "blackjacking" the states with its proposed reorganization of the National Guard Tuesday. "There is no apparent basis for the erratic juggling, because the national total number has not been reduced," Hatfield said. "It is a blackjack effort to reduce the governors and the states to sub servience and dictates from Wash ington." Hatfield reacted after Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara an nounced details of a drastic shakeup of the National Guard and the Army Reserve. The governors have no voice in reorganization of the reserves, but under present law, they must ap prove any changes in the guard within their state? Tf Hatfield and Gov. Albert Rostmini are indica tive of general gubernatorial re action, the Pentagon may be in for trouble. Rosellinl informed Hatfield Tuesday that he will call a meet ing of the Governors' National Guard Committee soon. Rosellini. head of the National Governors' Conference, called on all other state executives to oppose the plan. A meeting of National Guard officials has been set Dec. 10 in Washington, at which time state officials will be asked to approve the changes. "An Ultimatum" 'The governor thinks this is curious timing, and in effect an ultimatum," said Travis Cross, Hatfield's press secretary. Pressed for further explanation, Cross said, "We just got notified today, the fourth, and they want the governors to give their ap proval by the 10th." The Defense Department said the proposal would reduce the authorized strength of the Oregon National Guard by 865, from 6,450 to 5,675. Hatfield said the guard's pres ent strength is 5.909. The shakeuo would result in inactivation of the lloih Signal Co., Camp Withycombc, and the 1042nd Heliconter Maintenance Co., Salem, plus five units which are part of the 2-)9th Artillery Group (Air Defense). It was not known immediately which five Air Defense units might be af fected should the proposal become effective. The 41st Division, consisting of National Guard troops from Ore gon and Washington, would not be affected by the shakeup. The Army Reserve reorganiza tion will not affect the 104th Di vision, which is the principal re serve unit in Oregon, the Defense Department said.

The man was identified as War ren Swanson of Washington. U.S. Marshal Elmer Disspayne said Swanson told him that he "Had a vision" about a month ago to come here and kill Hoffa. "1 saw the gun as he ran up and I jur ied up and knocked the s o b. down," Hoffa said. "He's just some jerk." Hoffa said there is "no ques tion but that this guy is a psycho.

Adlai doesn't know if Kennedy statement due NEW YORK (UPD Adlai E. Stevenson, under fire as a result of a national magazine article concerning his role in the Cuban crisis, said todav he did not know whether President Kennedy would make a public statement support ing him. "I have had no discussion with the President," Stevenson said on a television show (NBC's "To day"). "I don't know what he is going to do, if anything." Asked if he thought he might be requested to resign as U.S. am bassador to the United Nations as the result of an article in the Sat urday Evening Post, Stevenson snapped: "On the contrary." He said the article, by Stewart Alsop and Charles Bartlett, is "as classic an example of ir responsible journalism as I have ever witnessed." "It is untrue as to what I pro posed. It is untrue as to what I opposed." Supported Blockade Stevenson said that in the Ex ecutive Committee of the National Security Council he emphatically supported an armed blockade of Cuba and "equally emphatically opposed an invasion of Cuba at the risk of world war until peace keeping machinery of the United Nations had been used. This was the policy approved by the Presi dent," he said. "I hope the time has not come in the United States when it is considered better to advocate war to settle disputes rather than use peaceful means." Stevenson deplored the breach of NSC security evidenced in the article and said Kennedy had taken the position that consulta tions with his top advisers must always remain private. "Because I agree with the President's position, I am some what inhibited in telling you more about the talks, he said. Used to Axaiiins "It doesn't make much differ ence about me and the truth. I am used to assassins. I remember McCarthy." As to an editorial suggestion bv the New York Daily News that the attack on Stevenson co incided with the death of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, his staunch friend and political supporter, Ste venson said: "This must exceed the (Post) article for absurdity." Stevenson said he had never heard of a "clique," to force him out of office. He said he did not know Alsop or Bartlett, although he may have met one of them. He said he supposed that specu lation about his ouster started be cause of the writers "close asso ciation with the President.

The agreement stemmed from an exchange of messages between President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Klirushchev after the three-orbit flight of Lt. Col. John H. Glenn last February. The bilateral program was an nounced in the United Nations by both countries. It contains pro visions for working out with other countries eventually an experi mental system of space commu nications. The fields and scope of the first cooperative efforts between the two countries were worked out by Dr. Hugh L. Dryden, deputy ad ministrator of National Aeronau tics and Space Administration, and Soviet academician A. A. Bla gonravov in talks in New York and Geneva. Progress toward the agreement was slowed at first by the Cuban crisis and then apparently accele rated when Russia agreed to re move its missiles from Cuba. The program calls for coopera tion in the use and launching of weather satellites, in making a world geomagnetic survey, and in experiments with the passive com munications satellite, Echo II, which the United States will launch next year. Echo II. a larger, more rigid version of the old Echo 1 still in orbit, will serve as a banking board for radio signals bounced between distant stations. This country Is experimenting with active repeater satellites which receive signals, amplify them, and then rebroadcast them. These satellites, rather than the passive type, are expected to be the first to make world-wide tele vision possible.

No agreement yet Further study planned of library By Gerald Drapeau Bullttin Staff Writer The matter of financing the county library on a full - time schedule was discussed at great length but not resolved by coun ty and city commissioners who met last night in a special forum in city hall. The forum, requested by city manager Hal Puddy, hosted Judge D. L. Penhollow and com missioner Fred Shepard of the county court. All seven city com missioners attended. A handful of subjects concern ing greater county participation in city projects were mulled, but of primary concern was the sticky library funds problem. For a brief period in July library doors were closed after 6 p.m. because ade quate funds were lacking. At budget time this year, the City thought it had a mutual pact with Deschutes County to should er 30 per cent of this year s fiscal costs; 20 per cent next year, 10 the following, etc. But Judge Pen hollow asserted the county had never supported this arrange ment and only complied this year out of urgency. It was finally decided Puddy and Penhollow should confer with the librarian and report their findings at a future city-county assembly. In other business the county turned down a city bid for finan cial assistance on Bend street' paving programs. Their budget. Judge Penhollow said, simply won't allow it Whether Oregon counties can legally participate in city road programs was another point of dispute at the session.

Py SS-5S; No. 308 England has worst smog in ten years LONDON (UPI) - London hos pitals were warned today to stop all routine admissions and pre pare for a rush of victims from the worst fog to hit England since a "killer fog" that claimed 000 lives 10 years ago. At least 32 have died so far in the cur rent smog. At noon, when the red light emergency signal was flashed to all London hospitals, the black, killing mixture of smoke and sul phur dioxide blanketed this island nation in an opaque shroud. The warning to the hospitals said: "Stop ordinary routine ad missions. Reserve your beds as far as possible for emergency cases only." Smoke concentration over Lon don was 10 times as heavy as hinese targets of new abuse at Rome meet ROME (UPI) A top Italian Communist today accused the Red Chinese to their faces of meddling in Italian party affairs and trying to split its members from the Moscow line. . Giancarlo Pajetta, one of the top lieutenants of the 1,754,000 Italian party, made the charge on the fourth day ot the Italian Com' munist Party Congress. The congress, to which Chinese and other parties have sent dele gates, has featured an open and bitter ideological battle between the Peking and Moscow brands of communism. Pajetta, looking straight at the Chinese delegation, said: "The whole congress is unanimous in approving the policy of the cen tral committee and in rejecting your unacceptable attack and In condemning your wrong posi tions. Pajetta abandoned the unwritten rules of the Ideological struggle of not naming China or the Soviet Union as the main protagonists and obliquely directing attacks at either Albania or Yugoslavia. "We are addressing our party with the clarity of truth," Pajet ta said. "When we mean China, we have no need to say Albania." He said the Chinese were very much mistaken if they hoped to split the Italians from Moscow or to create dissensions in the ranks. Flrit Open Charge Pajctta's speech was the first open charge that the Chinese were trying to split the Communist movement in the west, although the oxistence of small pro-Chinoso actions in Western Communist parties has been known. Mario Alicata, a member ot the Italian Communist Central Com mittee, said last month that "a number" of Italian Communists agreed with the "Chinese line" and the "crazy view" that Russia should have unleashed atomic war over Cuba. Cuba's Bias Roja, addressing the congress to stormy applause, heaped abuse on the United States but steered clear of the Moscow- Peking dispute. He indicated that his govern ment expected help from both. He said the Cuban revolution rests among other things on "the solidarity and brotherly help of the socialist camp, of all socialist countries of Europe and Asia, at whose head stands the Soviet Union." He listed Russia, China, Czecho slovakia and East Germany In that order among the countries which helped Cuba by buying sugar.

Carrier of Death ' The fog was not the wispy. creeping kind that calls up sinis ter images of Lfmehouse, Jack the Ripper and Mack the Knife, but a grim earner of potential death. It hugged the smoke from million chimneys and the exhaust from a million autos to the ground in a suffocating pall that recalled the four-day killer fog that started Dec. 5, 1952. Four thousand Britons died of bronchitis "the British disease" during that fog. Many more art) believed to have died month or years later of lung damage caused then.
