CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 60th Year Twelve Pages Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Wednesday, December 12, 1962 Ten Cents No. 6 Khrushchev directs high-level blast sit Chinese Hatfield raps control board labor study SALEM (UPI) Gov. Hark Hatfield today termed an "asin ine waste of time" a Board of Control staff study which in dicated replacing of prison and state ward labor could cost more than 518 2 million a biennium. But Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr., insisted "the figures speak for themselves." The study was requested by Ap pling and Howard C. Belton, state treasurer, after they voted against Hatfield and authorized prison la bor to build the new women's prison here. Organized labor has filed a suit to halt the use of the prison labor. The governor said of the study: ''This is an asinine waste of time and It has no relevance to the case before the court. "I believe the court is compe tent to make its own decision." Appling Answers Appling answered, "They (the figures) very clearly show, as I have repeatedly pointed out, that there Is far more Involved in this issue than simply the construc tion ot one relatively small build ing." Appling fears that if labor wins Its court case, a precedent would be set that could eventually re sult in replacement of all state ward labor by hired labor. defi ance of b an Student group plans holiday trip to Cuba NEW YORK UP1 A pro Castro U.S. student group is plan ning to defy the government's ban on travel to Cuba and slip out of the country to visit Havana over the Christmas holidays, it was learned here today. Reliable sources said the group might comprise as many as 80 students, from City College of New York as well as other insti tutions in the New York City area, Boston, Buffalo and other U.S. cities. Present plans call for the stu dents to make their own way to Montreal and there pick up a free Castro government plane ride to Havana. In Cuba, the students would be state guests. The sources identified the expe dition leader as Anatol Isaac Schlosser. 25, of New York, a graduate student of New York University. Schlosser told UPI he was "only a spokesman" for the group,' identified as the self styled "Ad Hoc Student Commit tee for Travel to Cuba." He said the group was making the trip "cognizant of the fact that the government has denied us permis sion and does not want us to go." Schlosser said he expected "80 or more" students to make the trip. He said they would come from Buffalo, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, University of Chicago, Boston University, Harvard, Obcrlin, University of Toronto, University of North Car olina and the University of Cali fornia at Berkeley. Manager sees coming need for water situation study By Phil F. Brogan Bulletin Staff Writer Some day, possibly in the near future, Bend will have to take a long, careful look at its water problem. This was noted by Hal Puddy, city manager, in a talk before the The study announced .Tuesday 'TicE was made by Board of Control Secretary J. N. Peet, at Appling's and Belton's request, to determine what the added cost to the state would be if use of prison labor and other state wards was elimi nated. Peet's study indicated it would be necessary to hire 763 new em ployes at the prison, at a cost of $6,383,730 a biennium. Oregon State Hospital would need 602 mors employes, at a cost of $4,055,605. Other agencies would have to employ varying numbers of work ers to handle jobs now done by Inmates. 2 treated after headon collision Special to The Bulletin REDMOND Two cars met in a headon collision Tuesday about 4:45 p.m. on U.S. Highway 97 six miles south of Redmond, injuring two men, lone occupants of the vehicles. Taken to the Redmond District Hospital were Leo E. Smith, 25, of Kane, Pa., operator of a south bound car, and Forrest L. Grant, 49, Redmond. Investigating Oregon State Po lice said that Grant either lost control of his car, or fell asleep, as the Pennsylvania car approach ed. The Grant car moved across the center line and the headon crash occurred. Both vehicles were badly dam aged. Grant was treated at the hos pital for head cuts, then released. Smith remained in the hospital. His condition this morning was reported good. The men were taken to the hos pital in the Redmond ambulance. LeRoy Maes, 24. Redmond, en tered the Central Oregon District Hospital at 2 a.m. today, victim of injuries suffered in an auto mobile accident. His condition was reported good today. Bend Chamber offers Builders' Plan Service The Bend Chamber of Com merce has instituted a Builders' Plan Service, as a new commun ity project, with Chamber mem bers eligible to participate. A weekly bulletin will be pub lished containing information about proposed construction in the area. Local sub-contractors have shown considerable interest in the project, and a good response for use ofthe plan is anticipated, ac cording to Marion E. Cady, Cham ber manager. Plans for building construction nmiort in Central Oregon and salaries, street improvements and among other matters, the heavy use of water locally. This heavy use, coupled with the increasing demand for water. poses a serious problem, tne speaker noted. Among new de mands is water tor uemrai Ore gon College. This, at its start, will be a $100,000 project. President Don Pence of Central Oregon College interpolated a re mark, reminding the clubmen that the COC need for water will come quicker than expected. May Face Metering Puddy cautioned that the city may face metering, in a move to conserve water. But before that is done, there will be a careful test of water metering, he said. Bend residents, the city mana ger told the clubmen, use 312 gallons of water per capita per day, in the summer months. The national average is from 125 to 150 gallons. Puddy devoted the opening part of his trlk to the organization of the City of Bend and traced the local history of the city manager form of government. That history dates to 1923, when a new char ter, later revised, was adopted. George P. Gove was the first mayor under the city manager form of rule. Puddy is the city's fourth city manager. Tops on the totem pole, it was pointed out, are the voters. They elect the city commission and the municipal judge. Direct Supervision Commissioners name the city manager, and also have direct supervision of various commis sions, board and committees. Work of the city manager was also re viewed. Puddv took time to look into the future and list things he would like to see done. These incude an extension of the street improve ment urogram, improvement of fire grading so insurance rates can be reduced and a study of urban renewal proposals. Puddy would like to see the park and recreation program con tinued, and will seek the develop ment of further zone planning. Cooperation with federal and state agencies will be improved, where possible, Puddy said. Pledging that he will cooperate with local residents, Puddy in con clusion, said one matter on which he will work will be the improve ment of drainage from the Frank lin and Greenwood underpasses. The Portland Avenue bridge bond issue election, was discuss ed, with clubmen asking ques tions. Puddy's remarks relative to the water problem were in answer to questions. George Warrington, president oi the Lions, presided. Stanley Scott introduced Puddy. The meeting was at the Superior Cafe. Building sale is announced Walter G. Peak, assistant vice president of Equitable Savings 4 Loan Association today announc ed the sale of the former De schutes Federal Savings it Loan Building, 953-957 Wall Street. The new owners are Dr. and Mrs. Harry E. Mackey. The sales price as reported by Peak was in excess of $60,000.00. The building is occupied by Bend Rexall Drug, the Mode O'Day Shop, Dennis Marvin law office, Stearns and Mention, arch itects, along with apartments and office space on the second floor. The new owners will take pos session of the property by De cember 31. No immediate changes are contemplated. The building was bought as rental income prop erty. The sales transaction was hand led by Steve Hibbs and Art Rixe of Rixe Realty. Shots exchanged with violator SPRINGFIELD, Ore. (UPI) - A state police officer exchanged shots with a man east of here earlv today. Officer Cleve Veteto, 32, said a traffic violator he stopped charged from his car with a rifle and fired at him. Veteto said he clambered down a roadside ditch and when he pulled his revolver the armed man fled In his car. V et e to jumped up and fired after the car, he said. Eastern U.S. being gripped by cold wave By United Press International Aching cold from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast choked off the water supply in Columbus, Ohio, froze Florida, and sent the week's toll of weather-caused deaths climbing past 100 today. Below zero temperature records were commonplace from the Mid west prairies to the Atlantic Sea board. It was 23 below zero at Mt. Pishah. N.C.. 19 below at ML Mitchell, N.C., and below zero for the first time in recent memory at every reporting station in Illi nois. At least 104 deaths were blamed on the series of wintry storms and Arctic chills which have punished the nation's eastern half since late Wednesday. They included 32 in Ohio, 22 in Michigan, 10 in New England, 7 each in New York State and Indiana, 6 each in Penn sylvania and Kentucky, 4 in Ten nessee, 3 each in West Virginia and Illinois, and 2 each in Mis souri and Kansas. The cold wave burst the frozen water lines in Columbus, cutting off supplies to the business sec tion of the city for six hours. Water Pressure Low Service was restored at mid morning, but Mayor Ralston West lake maintained a state of emer gency in Ohio's capital city be cause water pressure in the area was dangerously low in case ot fire. The water famine forced most downtown Columbus stores and businesses to close. Water was cut off to hotel rooms. The water sys tem at the Ohio Penitentiary was also frozen and 4,500 inmates had no water or heat. Elsewhere, the weather was wanner in Anchorage, Alaska with 42 degrees than at Pensacola, Fia. with a record-breaking 20 above. About one third of Florida's huge tomato crop had been damaged by frost and heavy losses of snap beans and sweet corn were report ed as far south as Okeechobee. A hard chill settled on the state's lucrative resort industry. Snows which had ranged from the Middle West to New England slackened, except for an area along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Snow-choked South Ha ven, Mich., was forced to close its schools for the first time in 30 years and dignitaries opening a section of the interstate free way near Lansing, Mich., used snow shovels to open the highway instead of the traditional ribbon cutting scissors. La Porte, Ind., got three more inches of snow and a power fail ure in zero weather plunged 150 homes at Lafayette, Ind., into darkness. In West Virginia, highway of ficials said the roads might open sufficiently to get an ailing 8-year-old girl to a hospital. The child was marooned along with 30 to 40 farm families in Marion Coun ty when the first heavy snows hit West Virginia last Wednesday. An area rundown of weather misery included: Florida Temperatures were ex pected to dip to 15 in northern Florida and there was sleet at Tallahassee and Pensacola. A hard freeze was forecast for as far south as the Everglades to night, but early reports indicated the citrus crop suffered Utile damage. Ohio Doctors used National Guard tanks to make their rounds to families in the Ashtabula and Conneaut areas, where snow was up to 50 inches deep in some places. The tanks were also called into duty to deliver food supplies. Work on new bank building to start soon With the last rubble of bricks and concrete cleared away in the space formerly occupied by the old Bond Street Hunnell building, Redmond Bank of Central Oregon is about ready to start construc tion on its new branch office. Local architects Stearns & Men tion announced that bids will be opened December 28 with con struction starting on the heels of bid acceptance, roughly the first of January. Hie $100,000 construc tion project should be ready lor public patronage about April 1. When finished, the bank will be one of the city's most modernly designed structures comprising about 3,500 square feet of space. Outside parking stalls on the Ho tel Bancroft side will accommo date some 27 customer cars, and drive-up window banking serv ices will be handy to motorists. Most of the materials used in building will be native to the Cen tral Oregon area. The firm in tends to combine wood siding with hard rock walls to form an ornamental exterior. The inside walls will be finished with wood paneling and acoustical plaster, and the covering for full-length floors will be of vinyl asbestos tile. Convenient facilities will be manifold in the new building, a bank official said. Plans call for an employes' lounge, modern restrooms, conference room, offi cer's area, storage room, work room and a standard-type lobby with conveniently-located tellers' cages. To start with, the bank will probably have three full-time em ployes and a manager on hand to accommodate customers. NEWS CONFERENCE TODAY WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy will hold a news conference at 4 p.m. EST today. It will be televised and broadcast live to the nation. 'Paper tiger' has A-teeth, Nikita warns MOSCOW (UPI) Premier Niki ta Khrushchev said today that the Soviet Union s policy of peaceful coexistence averted a nuclear world war over Cuba and warned the more belligerent Communist Chinese that the American "paper tiger" had atomic teeth. He accused the Chinese ot try ing to prod the Soviets into con flict with the United States. Khrushchev said that Soviet of ficers had manned the Soviet mis siles in Cuba "which were ready for launching" but not used, spar ing the world from a nuclear holo caust. 1 Then, in the most direct and high-level attack yet on Chinese policy, which holds that commu nism can triumph over capitalism only by inevitable war, he said the world has no choice but to survive through coexistence. In rejecting Chinese charges that he had bowed to imperialism in the Cuban crisis, he said that "these people who call themselves M a r x i s t-Leninists" apparently were trying to provoke a clash between the Soviet Union and the United States. But Khrushchev was having none of this line, pointing out that the United States also had th capability of thermonuclear de struction. Talks to Resume Even as he spoke in Moscow, it was disclosed at United Nations ' headquarters that U.S. and Soviet negotiators will resume talks on the Cuban crisis at the Soviet Em bassy in New York this afternoon. Khrushchev said favorable pre requisites" have been created to end the Cuban crisis and that It will be a 40-foot road, on an ly direction.

Special to The Bulletin MADRAS Three Round Butte Dam construction workers were described in good condition at the Pioneer Memorial Hospital in Prineville today. They were taken there for treatment of injuries re ceived in an accident in the power tunnel which is under construc tion at the dam site near Madras. Hospitalized with varying injur ies were James Mayo, 26, Terre bonne; James Christcnson, 29, Madras, and Edward Johnson, 36, Madras. Utah Construction Co. officials said the accident occurred about p.m. Tuesday when a cable- operated bucket carrying five men was being lowered down the steep Incline to the power tunnel where they were to work. While being lowered down the Incline, the bucket caught an obstruction and tipped forward, spilling its passengers. The men fell about 20 feet.

Nehru tells of Chinese troop buildup NEW DELHI (UPI) Premier Jawaharlal Nehru said today re ports from the front indicate Red China is massing troops south of conquered Bomdila, within easy striking distance of the densely populated Assam Plains. Nehru told India s Senate the Red invaders' concentration may be a preliminary to their prom ised withdrawal from some of e Indian territory they have seized Other high officials were reported worried, however, about the threat of a possible new Commu nist attack. (Red China's official radio re ported that the invaders marched north from Bomdila Sunday. The same Peking broadcast, however, carried a report on conditions in the border community as of Tues day.) U.S. Ambassador John K. Gal braith was flying home today to report to Kennedy on the Indian situation. He was traveling by way of New York on a schedule that would get him to the U.S. capital tonight. Nehru indicated that Indian troops might renew the border war if it appeared to be in In dia's best interest to fight. the negotiations to a conclusion. In a broadcast and televised address he made to the Supreme Soviet, Khrushchev said that those who say the Cuban compromise was forced on the Soviet Union also should say the United States also was forced to settle by peace ful means. Had Russia taken an "uncom promising position," he said, it would have helped "only the camp of madmen in the United States" to touch off world war. The United States could not win such a war, he added. . Again with an eye on Peking without specifically mentioning the Communist Chinese, Khrushchev said: Has Nuclear Teeth "Imperialism Is no longer what it was. . . It may be a paper tiger, but people who call it that should know the paper tiger has nuclear teeth." He said the missiles were sup plied as a result of a "well found ed alarm" from the Cuban gov ernment that "an attack was only hours away on Oct 23. 'We sent our arms there and placed our rockets just to avert aggression and that's why wo pulled them out, he said. "That's it in a nutshell." Khrushchev ridiculed sugges tions that the Soviet Union had chosen Cuba as the Jump-off point for war against the United States. He labeled the charges a "mali cious fabrication." Would Have Used Missiles "Had we wanted to start war against the United States we would not have agreed to disman tle the rockets installed in Cuba which were ready for launching for action," he said. "We would have brought them Into play. "We did not do that because we had no such aims." Russia pulled out its missiles and nuclear-capable jet bombers at a demand from President Ken nedy, who warned that the United States was ready to use whatever force was necessary to enforce its decision. Khrushchev warned that the Cu ban crisis is not yet over and "it Is not in the interests of peace to tarry" in ending it. t He said Russia's coexistence policy headed off a thermonuclear holocaust when the crisis was at its height, and said "all sensible people profoundly welcome this triumph of reason." At this point in history, he said, mankind faces "either peaceful co existence or devastating war (and) there is only one alterat ive: Peaceful coexistence." HOLDUP REPORTED ' COTTAGE GROVE (UPI) A bandit held up the Cottage Grove office of the City Finance Co. Tuesday afternoon. The robber or dered persons in the store to the rear of the building and fled with about $253.
