Bulletin Staff Writer
Two men and three women ap
peared at the county budget meet
ing Wednesday night to speak up
against Civil Defense. They were
treated a little like escapees from
Fairview Home.
Two Air Force reservists spoke
in favor of Civil Defense and
were treated cordially. A banker,
who is a member of the budget
committee, was the only one who
gave them and the Civil De
fense director any static.
"Who were those people who
talked against Civil Defense?"
budget makers asked after they
left. Let's identify the cast.
The criticism came from Dr. J.
E. Hyatt, osteopathic physician
and surgeon; Harold Bock, social
problems and history instructor;
Mrs. Bock, housewife and X-ray
technician; Mrs. Marion Poor,
housewife and registered nurse,
and Mrs. William W. S p e t h ,
housewife and former college
psychology instructor.
Defending the program were Lt.
Col. Jesse L. Yardley, manager of
Bend Abstract Co.: Major John
E. Prentice, audio-visual aids di
rector in the Bend Public Schools,
and Civil Defense Director Wil
liam C. James, formerly a farm
er, and before that, a hardware
company manager.
Sympathy Expreised
Sympathy for the Civil Defense
program was expressed in vary
ing degrees by County Judge D.
L. Penhollow, Commissioners
Fred Shepard and George Baker,
and appointive budget committee
members Robert Whittier and
Priday Holmes, chairman. The
only official opposition was from
John Stenkamp, a budget commit
tee member.
Those opposing the Civil De
fense program had an unsympa
thetic audience. They weren't get
ting through. After they left, they
were accused of name-dropping
quoting scientists and statesmen
and of being "peace at any
price" advocates who would car
ry banners in pacifist parades.
At one point Chairman Holmes
suggested that the speakers be
allotted limited time "Because
we have lots of work to do." Sten
kamp objected on the grounds
that the subject is important
enough that the committee should
have all the information that is
available.
t James presented a seven-page

' Most states stick
with defense plans
By United Press International
Civil defense has suffered a ma
jor setback in Oregon, but most
state legislatures are proceeding
with plans to protect their popula
tions against nuclear attack.
Some states have even stepped
up their programs to build and
equip fallout shelters. A United
Press International spot check in
dicated that the majority are con
tinuing their civil defense pro
grams at the present pace.
The civil defense controversy
flared this week when the Oregon
Legislature voted to cut the
state's 18-man civil defense agen
cy to just three persons. Gov.
Mark Hatfield, a civil defense
supporter, had asked $195,000 for
the program. He was voted
$52,000.
City Commissioner Stanley Earl
of Portland, which voted down
civil defense funds last week, said
"in the event of a nuclear attack
these fallout shelters will become
crematoriums."
In Washingtoa a House Armed
Services subcommittee began
hearings on President Kennedy's
$175 million federal fallout shel
ter program.
Oregon's Sen. Wayne Morse sent
word he considered the civil de
fense program senseless, wasteful
and unrealistic.
Support Given Though
There was strong support for
the fallout shelter campaign in
Congress and even in Oregon,
however.
California's Rep. Chet Holifield,
whose state has been in the fore
front of civil defense prepara
tions, said fellow lawmakers were
dodging their responsibility. An
other Democrat, Kep. jonn u.
Dingell. of Michigan, said once
the bombs start flying and the
rockets are leaving the launching

Information Requested
This information had been re
quested for last week's meeting.
It was there all the time, in a
brief case. James was in Salem
on business. Judge Penhollow
was absent, and no one else knew
of its whereabouts.
The inventory of equipment
showed a staggering replacement
value of $130,063.12, for materials
of "like kind new." Actual ac
quisition costs were not indicated.
It was then that it became ap
parent that Civil Defense has be
come the tail that wags the dog.
This equipment is scattered
about in various county offices,
in the county road department, at
Brooks - Scanlon, Inc., at St.
Charles Memorial Hospital, at
Bend and Redmond city halls, in
the Bend Fire Department and in
the office of the LaPine justice of
the peace.
If we didnt have a Civil De
fense program," Stenkamp asked,
"what would happen to all this
equipment?"
The federal government would
decide whether to take it back or
request pay for it," James said.
Inventory Spotted
Stenkamp spotted in the inven
tory a jeep purchased for the
Rural Fire District. "We were
given the impression when we
bought it, that it is ours, he said.
"No," said James. "The title
rests with the state of Oregon."
(In some cases, title is with the
federal government.)
Baker said that it is obvious
that the federal government or
the state would have to retain the
title. "Otherwise," he said, "you
could sell the equipment for more
than it cost and make money
on it!"
It would take every column in
this issue of The Bulletin to re- j
port the meeting fully. A few ex
cerpts from the conversation fol
low.
Stenkamp: If we didn't have a
Civil Defense program, could we
still obtain surplus properties?
James: Yes. The county could
employ a half-time man and pay
the entire salary. (Under the
present set-up, the county and the
federal government share the ma

A. Rockefeller has been one of

budgetary than philosophical.
Many civil defense officials said
legislators, like the general public,
aren't interested in worrying
about fallout shelters now.
The nation's civil defense boss,
Asst. Defense Secretary Steuart
L. Pittman. put it more bluntly.
"The mood of Congress is the
same as the country, he said
this week. "They would rather

lumber producers and two large
unions was being held today.
Representatives of the Interna-

A spokesman for the IWA said
the union figured the average

Any Relevance
Mrs. Poor; Does the Civil De
fense program have any rele
vance to international security, in
event of nuclear war?
James: Our function is to show
people how to take care of them
selves. We can't take them by the
hand and lead them to a shelter.
Mrs. Poor: How many people
could be cared for in shelters?
James: Four buildings, with a
total capacity of 1500, are now
being stocked (in Bend. There
are food supplies for 930.)
Mrs. Poor: What is the popula
tion of the county?
Judge Penhollow: About 24,000
people.
Mrs. Poor: How would you de
cide which 1500 persons could go
into the shelters? Do you have a
priority list? If so, I think it
should be made public.
James: As of tonight, we would
have to put people in the caves
east of town. They would give
protection from fallout. (The
caves are not stocked with food,
medical supplies or water. They
are without heat, light or sanitary
facilities.)
Mrs. Speth: The air would be
contaminated. Are there doors on
the caves to prevent circulation?
Not Necessary
James: No, this is not neces
sary. You do not have to have a
closed building. This one (the
courthouse) would be free from
radioactivity because it is off the
ground level.
Holmes: I would suggest that if
you people want information, you
attend some of Mr. James' Civil
Defense meetings.
Dr. Hyatt: What is the effect
of the cutdown on Civil Defense
by Portland and Multnomah coun-
ty?
Judge Penhollow: I don't think
that this is any time for Portland
and Multnomah county to dictate
to the rest of the state. (The
state allocation for Civil Defense
has been cut to ribbons by the
legislature.)
Yardley: In my opinion, it is
not a question of "if" the enemy
will drop the bomb, but "when."

Mrs. Boclc Do you have an airt)
filter on your shelter?
Yardley: No, this is not neces
sary.
What Provision?
Mrs. Poor: What provision have
you made for a water supply, in
the post-attack period?
Yardley: I will have enough to
last two weeks. After that, we
would be able to get out and get
more.
Bock: Get it from where?
Yardley: I'll worry about it
then.
Bock: If I were sick and had
gone to a doctor for 15 years,
and still felt as sick as I did be
fore the treatment, I would begin
to doubt the ability of my doc
tor. This is not 1945. This is 1963.
Civil Defense is as sick now as
it was then.
Shepard: If you people want to
hear about Civil Defense, you can
hear Mayor Terry Schrunk and
Commissioner Stanley Earl de

sion. Dr. Hyatt: I'll watch it. Will

Dr. Wyatt: I wish I had that

attend a non military chiefs-of-staff
school 'of instruction last
summer. One of the instructors
was a defense department assist
ant. He was an absolute nut. He
didn't know anything. But he was
a political appointee. What can
you expect?
After the delegation left, Whit
tier concurred with Stenkamp
that replacement of the Civil De-
j fense properties would be a hard
nut to crack.

said that if the state pulls out
completely, he would rather drop
the program than nave just

House votes
$48 million
tax increase
SALEM (UPI) The House
voted 35-24 today to approve a $48
million increase in the state in
come tax.
The House also was to act on a
companion sales tax measure.
The income tax measure went
to the Senate.
When the roll call vote was
completed on the income tax bill,
there were 33 votes against it
The measure won the needed
31st yes vote to pass when Rep.
Victor Atiyeh, R Portland,
changed his no vote to yes. Five
Democrats and 19 Republicans
opposed the measure.
Those voting no included Reps.
Bazett, Bennett, Bonesteele,
Branchfield, Chappel, Chuinard,
Crothers, Dellenback, Detering,
Dickinson, Elder, Field, Galla
gher, Hagan, Howard Hunt,
Jones, Maher, Montgomery, Orr,
Ridderbusch, Rogers, Robert
Smith, and Whelan.
The parade of vote switches
came after House Tax Committee
Chairman Richard Eymann, D-
Marcola, charged that Republi
cans had voted to spend money,
but were unwilling to vote for a
tax increase to finance the added
spending.
The income tax hike was de
liened to raise an additional $48
million needed to finance a $406
million general Jund budget for
the 1963-65 biennium.
It was backed up by a one-shot
speedup of withholding tax collec
tions if needed, and carried a
provision that if the income tax
raised more money than antici
pated, any surplus In excess of
$10 million would be used as a
property tax offset.
Vote in 1964
The 2 per cent sales tax would
be referred to the voters at the
November, 1964, election. It was
designed to raise $125 million a
biennium. Half this amount would
be used as an offset against prop
erty taxes. The legislature would
be "morally obligated" to use 25
per cent to offset state income
taxes, with the balance to go into
the general fund.
While agreement on the income
tax measure was reached Wednes
day, Sen. Robert Elfstrom, R-Sa-
lem, refused to sign the commit
tee report until the sales tax
question was settled.
Elfstrom and Sen. Boyd Over-
hulse, D-Madras, worked with
Rep. Richard Eymann, D - Mar
cola, and Rep. W. O. Kelsay, D
Roseburg, to draft the income tax
compromise.
Elfstrom anticipated trouble
with House members in reaching
agreement on the sales tax meas
ure which at the time hadn't
even been passed by the Senate
and refused to sign the report.
Thursday morning the Senate
voted 22-8 for a sales tax measure
which was immediately thrown
into conference committee by the
House.
Thousands
feared dead
in Pakisfan
DACCA, Pakistan (UPI) Au
thoritics feared today that the
1 1 death toll from a cyclone and
tidal waves in iasi rasisian
would exceed 10,000.
The toll mounted every hour
as delayed reports from the
stricken areas reached Dacca. Of
ficials believed the casualties
would leap to between 10,000 and
15.000.
Press reports estimated that
10,000 other persons were miss
ing and 2 million homeless in the
affected 178-mile stretch along
the Bav of Bengal.
The district deputy commission'
er at Chittagong said 1.200 had
died in that area alone. Chitta
gong is 120 miles southeast of
here.
The casualty figure could rise
drastically when the fate is
known of a million persons who
inhabited 500 offshore islands.
These islands were said to have
been swept away by the tidal up
surge which followed the cyclone
earlier this week.

Lawmakers

of
session
SALEM (UPI) The 1963 legis
lature plodded doggedly toward
aimed-for adjournment of its rec
ord 138-day session at 8 p.m. to
day. Not too many were betting on it.
A resolution calling for adjourn
ment sine die at 8 p.m. was ap
proved by the Senate this morn
ing and sent to the House.
Chances were, as in past ses
sions, it would ne amended to
late Friday night, Saturday, or
even later.
There was an undercurrent of
behind-the-scenes maneuvering as
legislators sought to iron out the
differences that have held them
here so long.
The general mood was one of
weariness, discouragement and
disgust. None of the lawmakers
were happy about the need to
raise taxes, a need they have had
to think hard about in the final
days.
Most legislators wanted to go
home, but the usual spurt at the
finish was lacking.
TB Patients Discussed
For example, the big higher ed
ucation budget of $77.3 million
was stalled in its final stages
Thursday when the House split
over what to do about the state s
some 160 tuberculosis patients.
The House voted 33-27 against
emptying the University TB Hos
pital at Portland and consolidat
ing the patients in tfte state Hos
pital at Salem. Both bills were
sent for review to the Health and
Welfare Committee, which had
never seen them before.
A sign that time remained also
appeared in the suddenly renewed
efforts to get a "three - way'
workmen's compensation bill
through.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee just got the bill this week,
and two subcommittees spent
hours on it Wednesday and Thurs
day and scheduled more.
The Oregon AFL-CIO and man
agement finally have joined forces
in seeking its passage. Other la
bor groups oppose it It would
completely overhaul the program
of Insurance for the injured work
er. Key Bills Past
Several more key bills finally
cleared and went to Hie governor.
They included one measure set
ting corporation excuse taxes on
banks at 8 per cent, one broaden
ing the state program of medical
assistance for the elderly, and one '
requiring central reporting of sex
offenses.
The House yielded to pressures
to restore $1.3 million to a bill
providing money to improve sal
aries of college teachers and state
employes. The restoration by the
House Education Committee gave
the bill a total of $6.4 million for
no,? n n

f-
improvements over and above
regular built-in increases $2 mil
lion of it for college faculty.
The House passed the bill 43-15
and sent it to the Senate, lt was
a bad beating for the ways and
Means Committee, which had
trimmed the budgot earlier. Rep.
Edward Branchfield, R-Medford,
warned it would encourage other
state agencies to use similar pres
sures in the future.
Commerce Department OK'd
A reorganization bill suddenly
took on strength that could get it
through if the session dragged
out. The House passed a bill cre
ating a Department of Commerce
and sent it to the Senate.
It would contain five divisions:
Banking, corporation, insurance,
real estate and planning and de
velopment. The big $243 million highway
budget went to the governor. The
governor also got a bill designed
to recover lost money by requir
ing state supervision of charitable
trusts.
The House decided the "Pacific
Wonderland" slogan should be
dropped from license plates. The
idea is to make the numerals
larger. It rejected the Senate ver
sion, which called for reflectorizcd
plates. The bill went back to the
Senate.

slips into coma

BULLETIN
VATICAN CITY (UPI)-Popo
John XXIII fell into a coma to
night as ha neared death.
The Vatican announced at 8:25
p.m. (12:25 p.m. PDT) that ha
had loit consciousness follow
ing "a further weakening of hit
condition."
Up to that point, the 11-year-old
pontiff had been reported
suffering great pain from the
stomach tumor that medical
men said was cancerous.
Earlier, the Vatican announced
the Pope was slipping painfully
toward death.
VATICAN CITY (UPI) Pope
John XXIII slipped painfully to
ward death tonight.
The Pope was given the Roman
Catholic Church's last rites for
the dying, and a late Vatican an
nouncement said his condition was
"worsening."
At 6:45 p.m. (10:45 am. PDT),
the Vatican press office said there
was "a further worsening" of his
condition. It added that he was
"suffering a lot of pain."
As crowds massed in St. Pet
er's Square and offered prayers.
a Vatican spokesman said. The
pontiff, in his suffering, prays."
A Vatican communique at 7:15
p.m. said the Pope's condition
worsened during the evening with
complications of "generalized pe
ritonitis." Peritonitis is an inflam
mation of membrane lining the
abdominal cavity.
The communique said the pon
tiff's pulse rate "and the cardio
circulatory system...are deterior
ating now because of respiratory
difficulties."
"The holy father Is still lucid
and is fully consious of his own
condition despite heavy suffering
which he is bearing with. .resigna
tion," the communique added.
Pope John himself seemed to
sense that the end was near as
he requested the administering of
the rite of Extreme Unction, the
final anointing with oils of Catho
lics before death.
Shortly after 5:30 p.m.
(9:30 a.m. PDT) Father Ilarino
da Milano, a Vatican priest who
is close to the Pope, told news
men at the Vatican press office
after he visited the pontiff: "The
Pope looked as if he had only a
few minutes to live."
Perhaps his final act was to be
a secret consistory which Vatican
sources said he might hold at his
bedside this evening to reveal the
names of three princes of the
church he had created on March
28, 1960, but whose identity nas
been held secret.
The 81-year-old spiritual leader
of the world's half billion Roman
Catholics took a sudden turn for
the worse during the night and
his condition became "critical."
Up to that point, he had been
reported improving in his battle
with a stomach tumor that medi
cal men say is cancerous. The
Vatican had announced he had
"spent a tranquil night."
Suddenly Turns Worse
Then, with stunning sudden
ness, the Vatican announced:
"There has been a sudden
worsening of the condition of the
holy father."
Dr. Luciano Casimirri, head of
the Vatican press office, made
the disclosure shortly after mid
day. His words were echoed ny
broadcasts of the Vatican radio,
which said:
After two days of steady im-
orovement. the condition of his
holiness worsened following a sud
den crisis that took place during
the ninht.
Doctors and nurses were at nis
bedside. Cardinals in Rome
rushed to the papal chambers as
though to pay their last aspects,
The Vatican radio went on special
alert.
The Pope's three brothers and
a sister hurried by car and plane
from their homes in northern
Italy to be at his ride.
Prof. Antonio Gasbarrinl, the of
ficial papal physician, who had
returned to his home in Bologna
from Rome only Thursday, re
turned to the Vatican when he
heard of the new crisis.
"The situation is very grave,
perhaps desperate," ha said.
leader
Crowds gathered in St. Peter's
Square to watch and pray. Cath
olics and non-Catholics around the
world offered their prayers for
the Pope of peace, whose last
days were complicated by severe
internal bleeding, anemia and a
prostate condition.
The director of the . Vatican
press office, Prof. Raimondo Man
zini, was besieged by newsmen
for details of the Pope's condition.
"The death of the Pope is not
a maitcr of hours, he said.
The bulletin said the Pope had
spent a "quiet and serene even
ing" talking with Gustavo Cardin
Testa and conferring with Amleto
Cardinal Cicognani, Vatican sec
retary of state.
Then the new crisis struck at
midnight. Its nature was not de
scribed, but may have involved a
recurrence of severe hemorrhag
ing. At 6:30 this morning. Pope)
John listened as mass was cele
brated in his nearby study and
received Holy Communion,
Summon Papal Doctor
Shortly afterwards, ProE. Pietro
Valdoni, one of the Pope's doc
tors who has been staying close to
his bedside in the Vatican, was
summoned. - .
Valdoni examined the pontiff,
determined the seriousness of hit)
condition, and Informed his pa
tient of his condition. . . '
The Pope then talked trim
Msgr. Alfredo Cavagna, his con
fessor, and summoned Cicognani
again. He greeted the papal sec
retary of state with the Latin
words of Psalms 121 which in
English were, "I have rejoiced
in what I have been told: We
shall go into the house of the
Lord."
Knew He Was Dying
This was his way of saying he
knew he was dying and was pre
pared. At 11:15 a.m. Msgr. Cavagna
gave the Pope Viaticum Holy
Communion for the dying.
Immediately afterwards, at the
Pope's express wish, he was given
Extreme Unction by Msgr. Peter
Caniaius van Lierde, sacristan of
the papal palace. He then invited
Msgr. Cavagna to remain near
his bedside.
After that, his doctors and at
tendants could only wait as the
day wore on.
People Mingle Quietly
Outside the Vatican, dark clouds
scudded across the Roman sky as
tourists and pilgrims mingled
together quietly on the cobble
stones of St. Peter's Square.
The hours ticked away for the
Pope of peace, who probably
would go down in the annals as
one of the greatest leaders of the
church.
