W-A. foY some years officials of the
MacLaren, School for Boys, a state
agency located in Woodburn, have
een actively pushing what the
school calls Its Foster Care program.
ffiChe program Involves placing boys
jfwho Jiave.been committed to Mac
"f Larejo,hy court order in various free
ndtjiaiij.-, foster homes throughout
" ihe state. About 110 youngsters are
involved.
, , One such paid home involved in
the program is on the Holgate farm,
near the community of Tumalo.
About a dozen youngsters generally
are quartered at the farm. And they
have become the subjects of an or
ganized community campaign, de
signed to shut the farm home down.
. ' The farm program, one suspects,
jj'ii Yflfl .dgHfyeratelv chosen by the of-
Jipiais of MacLaren. Such programs
ftaVe, in the past and in other local
' '-ities, been successful ones. Not
universally, successful, because
nothing is universally successful,
"J but: boy-care programs at Boy's
Town and Boy's Ranch have a high
degfwo'f success.
t Nor has the Holgate program
been universally successful. There
! have been a number of incidents in
; volvlng Holgate youngsters, some
worse than others. There have been
t a few car thefts. There have been
J objections to the conduct of the
C boys. There have been complaints
J about sanitation, and worries over'
the possibility of fires. Such criti-
cisms have not been without founda-
jtion, but Ihey have, too, been over-
painted by near-professional critics.
A couple of public indignation ses-
sions' have been held in the past
4 few days. Demands have been made
J by residents of the area that Mac
J Laren close down the farm facility.

Radi
io news...
Radio and television news pro
grams have shown vast improve
ment, in recent years, on the big
stations. The little ones, the "tea
kettles" back in the days of the
water-cooled tube, still have lots of
room for improvement. Too often a
succession of 50 word stories is bill
ed as "the news in depth," and a
five minute brief is closed off with
"and that's ALL the news." Too
many small stations will not hire
competent newsmen, preferring to
read the local paper word-for-word
in a series of newscasts beginning
as soon as the newspaper is printed
each day.
Congress has decided to take a
look into editorializing on the part
of radio and television stations. A
committee will start holding hear
ings on July 15. Congressmen have
been complaining. It seems too many
'Sorry, Fido, but we can't
control his appetite!'
The. system should not go down in
lf lames because of this experience
And commentary, too
parole. But this is not always pos
sible. Because of split families, some
have no homes in the normal sense.
Others were sent to the state school
in the first place because their
homes had turned out to be unsuit
able. Returning them to undesirable
home situations would not be any
help. So the Foster Care program
was developed. It provides a differ
ent atmosphere than either the in
stitution at Woodburn or unsatisfac
tory personal homes. The boys are
. under varying degrees of supervi
sion, take part in a work program,
and attend public schools.
Some, not all, of the Tumalo
area neighbors of the Holgate farm
have complained about the Des
chutes county foster home on sev
eral grounds. Most basically involve
lack of supervision over the activi
ties of the youngsters when they '.
are away from the farm. And such
complaints are natural. Boys are
not sent to MacLaren as a reward
for exemplary behavior, they are
not nominated for the Holgate farm
by churches in their communities,
they do not go there for outstand-
ing performance in school.
But neither, does it seem, do
they deserve to be kept in MacLaren
until they are 21, just because there
is no other place to send them. They
do not belong in prison. And send-.
ing them back to thoir own homes,
where those homes even exist, would
compound their problems instead of
relieving them.
It's apparent that some changes
need to be made at the Holgate
farm, if for no other reason than to
re-establish the place on a sound
footing with its neighbors. But there
also needs to be some place of this
type, here and in several other areas
of the state, for the benefit of the'
boys involved. The entire program
should not be destroyed when a little
' effort on the part of everyone in
volved can save it.
Then there's the local announc
er primarily a disc jockey or time
salesman who presents the news.
His lack of training results in all
sorts of ridiculous errors. This hap
pened the other day on one of the
Central Oregon stations, when a
two-month-old story came to the
attention of the announcer on duty.
Breathlessly, listeners were inform
ed of the big event. The station
would try to get some more details.
Listeners should stay tuned. After
the initial announcement someone
apparently told the announcer about
his error, and the station remained
silent on the subject thereafter.
stations have been telling listeners
their opinions of thp Congressman,
instead of just telling tunets-in
what the Congressman's press agent
put in the old boy's mouth.

Hatfield talks Presidential politics
with Goldwater, faults Rockefeller
By A. Robert Smith
Bulletin Correspondent
WASHINGTON Oregon's
Gov. Mark Hatfield talked presi
dential politics Tuesday with Sen.
Barry Goldwater, the darling of
the conservative wing of the Re
publican party, and expressed
doubts about the political future
of New York's Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller, the liberal hopeful.
Hatfield said he admires Gold
water but doesn't agree with him
on many issues. He agrees more
with Rockefeller on issues, but
has misgivings about public re
action to the New Yorker's per
sonal life.
Although Goldwater's stock is
rising as a contender for the GOP
presidential nomination next
year, Hatfield said: "I think the
race is wide open."
Hatfield believes that Rockefel

prospects by his recent remar

House committee meeting
By Draw Pearson
WASHINGTON The public
seldom knows how the backstage
lobbies operate in Congress. But
if at a future Christmas they
find no more Parcel Post avail
able, they should know how the
Railway Express Company oper
ated on Capitol Hill last week.
It all happened behind the
closed doors of the House Post
Office Committee when Postmas
ter General Ed Day asked Con
gress to take over the job of rate
making on Parcel Post. This was
prompted by two laws put across
by the Express lobby, requiring
Parcel Post to operate without a
loss, yet simultaneously prohibit
ing Parcel Post from delivering
profitable packages in the big
cities where it's cheap, while re
quiring it to deliver unprofitable
packages in the rural areas where
it's expensive.
It was the one Negro member
of the House Post Office Commit
tee, Robert Nix of Philadelphia,
a Democrat, who suddenly de
serted the Democratic adminis
tration and lined up with south
ern enemies of the Negro and Re
publican?, bail out the Railway
Express lobby.
Here's tlie'inside story of what
happened. During the first day of
committee dobate, the Kennedy
Administration won, 13 to 10. Two
independent Republicans, Robert
Ellsworth of Lawrence, Kans.,
and George Wallhauser of Ma
plewood, N.J., voted against the
; Express lobby. So did Congrcss
' man Nix of Philadelphia. But with
the Democrats winning. Repub
licans began stalling for time,
waiting for 12:01 noon when the
House would be in session.
The Heat It On
Exactly at 12:01, Rep. August
E. Johansen of Michigan, looking
at the clock, raised a point of
order.
"The House is in session," he
observed, "We can no longer
meet."
During the night. Congressmen
began hearing from the banks
and Railway Express representa
tives back home. Seldom has the

lion is caused. It seems parents
are afraid that we are going to

ness and no grief the "and

Now how could anyone get that
Idea? After growing up with par

how many responsibilities we are
going to have and how we need

sounds like is that since our par
ents haven't been able to do it,
we should prepare so that we
won't do what they have done.
Everyday you hear on TV "help
support the college of your
choice," and then something that
tells how it is a parent's duty be

will be in our hands. First of all,
why should the parents care?
They are not going to be here to

Capital Report
riage to a younger divorcee after
the governor's divorce from his
own 52-year-old wife.
The Oregon governor said it is
evident from his own mail that
there is a groundswell of moral
indignation running against Rock
efeller. He said women, especial
ly, hold strong critical views
about the Rockefeller divorce, but
that his mail includes protest let
ters from men as well.
Rockefeller and Hatfield have
often been linked politically as a
possible GOP team in the 1964
presidential election.
But Hatfield Is inclined to think
the presidential nomination will
go to a dark horse candidate.
The youthful governor flew from
Salem to Washington Monday to
lunch with President Kennedy and
seven other governors at the
White House Tuesday to discuss
civil rights problems.
One of his luncheon compan-
heat been so terrific When the
committee met next day, Texas
Dixiecrat Li nd 1 ey Beckworth,
friend of the big utilities who had
been absent, turned up to vote
against his fellow Democrats. Two
Republicans, Joel Broyhill of Ar
lington, Va and Glenn Cunning
ham of Omaha, Neb., absent the
day before, also had been prod
ded into being present. This gave
Railway Express 12 votes against
13 for Parcel Post and they need
ed one more.
They got it from the Philadel
phia Negro Democrat.
"I have read in Drew Pear
son's column." remarked Albert
Watson of Columbia, S.C., "That
I am supposed to be in the pocket
of the Railway Express lobby. I
want it known that I resent that
innuendo. I resent being mention
ed in the Pearson column. I am
voting the way I see fit."
"Last year," remarked Repub
lican Johansen. puffing through a
long slim cigaret holder, "that
fellow Pearson reported exactly
how we voted In this committee.
It was supposed to be secret, but
he had it down just right."
At one point when Watson, a
strong South Carolina segrega
tionist, tried to adjourn the com
mittee meeting,. Nix, the Negro
inlegrationist, voted with him.
This would have had the effect of
putting parcel Post out of busi
ness June 30. The vote failed to
pass by a 12-to-12 tie. But the
administration propostal to turn
parcel rates over to Congress al
so failed to pass 12-to-12, thanks
to Nix's desertion.
Finally the committee adopted
a compromise giving Parcel Post
a 3-year period of grace during
which it did not have to come
within 4 per cent of breaking
even.
"That takes off the heat." ex
claimed Nix, with a sigh of re
lief. "I fully expect everything that
transpired here today to appear
in Drew Pearson's column," re
marked Dixiecrat Watson. "I hope
that members of the committee
will not talk about our delibera
tions." All these things are repeated
and repeated and repeated to us.
Are we going to make it? Will
our hands ever be big enough to
hold the world in them? Only the
future knows for sure. And it
hasn't told us.

ions was Pennsylvania's GOP
Gov. William Scranton, with
whom Hatfield also chatted.
Scranton Monday said he would
probably be a favorite son candi
date next year.
"I like him very much," ob
served Hatfield.
As for Goldwater, he said: "I
am greatly impressed with him
as a man of conviction. I don't
agree with him on a lot of issues,
but he is a man of obvious sin
cerity. I don't think he's playing
to the galleries."
Ironically Republican Hatfield
had never been invited to lunch
by the chief executive he helped
elect, Gen Dwight D. Eisenhow
er, but got his first social invit
tion to the executive mansion
from a Democrat whom he tried
to defeat, John F. Kennedy.
"He was very gracious," said
Hatfield, explaining that Kennedy
took the governors on a personal
tour of the historic mansion, in
cluding the second story where he
showed them the Lincoln Room,
which is off-limits to the public.
After two hours in the White
House, Hatfield emerged from
the front portico with the other
governors and candidly said later
that it had been a thrilling ex
perience. The only Oregon problem Hat
field mentioned during the visit
was Tongue Point, the abandoned
naval base near Astoria, which
the government has proposed for
auction to private interests as sur
plus property. He said Kennedy
remarked rather wryly that Sen.
Wayne Morse had made him very
much aware of Tongue Point.
Hatfield conferred with Morse
in the senator's office Tuesday
morning to discuss Tongue Point
and the Board:nan industrial site
on which they have cooperated.
He said he told Morse the state
had notified Boeing that it was
prepared to make available the
100.000 acres along the Columbia
River near Boardman for the
company's future use.
JFK reportedly
feels European
trip necessary
WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi
dent Kennedy was said today to
feel that his European trip is
necessary to reassure American
allies of continued U.S. support
for the NATO alliance.
High administration sources
said Kennedy felt that uncertain
ty in key nations of the West
ern alliance made it doubly im
portant that he restate clearly to
them the basic aims of U.S.
foreign policy.
The President will leave Satur
day night on the 12-day tour of
Germany. Ireland, England and
Italy despite political turmoil in
most of those countries.
He won an endorsementof his
trip from Senate Democratic
Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont.
Mansfield told the Senate Thurs
day that domestic problems
should not "compel the President
to remain entombed in the White
House."
Mansfield said that many
changes were in the making on
the European political scene and
"it seems to me precisely the
time for a hard working, cards-on-the-table
journey."
Administration officials reject
ed any suggestion that the Presi
dent might try to influence the
internal political affairs of Eng
land, where Prime Minister Har
old Macmillan is under heavy
fire. They said the same goes for
Italy, where a new government
is being formed.
The administration officials
acknowledged that the Pres
ident's tour could accomplish vir
tually nothing in the way of ne
gotiations because of an impend
ing change of leadership in West
Germany and the political diffi
culties in England and Italy.
They said, however, that Uie
Chief Executive considered it
very important, at this critical
juncture in Allied relationships,
to go to Europe and state in the
clearest possible terms the con
tinuing U.S. commitment to de
fend the area.
He also will emphasize long
range U.S. efforts to bring the
Soviet Union some day to accept
the wisdom of firm East-West
solutions of perilous problems
such as the nuclear test ban and
disarmament
Governor raps
lawmakers again
PENDLETON (UPD Gov.
Mark Hat'ield marked Uie dedi
cation of a new S300.000 state of
fice building here Thursday by
castigating the 1963 legislature for
failing to approve funds for addi
tional buildings of its type.
"This shortsightedness will cost
the people in the long run," the
governor predicted.
The building will house all state
agencies in the city. Hatfield said
putting all the agencies under one
roof not only saves the state
money, btit saes citizens who
must go from one office to an
other both time and money.
Maurine says right wingers send
out material at taxpayer expense
WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen.
Maurine B. Neuberger, D Ore.,
charged today that right wing
organizations are being allowed to
circulate "extremist propaganda"
at the taxpayer's expense.
Mrs. Neuberger called upon the
Internal Revenue Service to make
sure tax-exempt organizations do
not engage in propaganda activi
ties. In a letter to IRS Commissioner
Mortimer M. Caplin, the Oregon
Democrat said the tax-collecting
agency had an "obligation and
responsibility to exercise much
closer surveillance of material
distributed by all tax exempt
groups under the guise of educa
tion." Under federal tax laws, income
contributed to educational groups
is exempt from taxation so long
as propaganda is not a "substan
tial part of its activities."
Sends Pamphlets
Mrs. Neuberger sent Caplin
pamphlets and brochures which
she contended represented "an
organized effort to spread particu
lar doctrines and are unmistak
ably propaganda."
Much of the material, she said,
attempted to discredit U.S. poli
cies for partisan political reasons
and could be justified under con
stitutional guarantees of free
speech and press.
"But this does not mean that
the public treasury can be used
to aid in circulation of any ex
Barton warns of possible
jump in property faxes
By Zan Stark
UPI Staff Writer
COOS BAY (UPD-' liie worst
rise in property taxes in Oregon
history" could result next year if
the 19C3 legislature's $60 million
tax package is rejected, House
Speaker Clarence Barton warned
today.
Barton addressed a luncheon
meeting of the Oregon Newspaper
Publishers Association here.
Reading from a prepared text,
he said rejection of the revenue
package could lead to "a state
property tax levy next year if
there is not revenue to pay bond
interest and retirement, because
law provides for an automatic
state property levy for this pur
pose whenever the costs cannot
be paid out of the money on
hand."
Barton discussed the recent leg
islative session, and told the pub
lishers "from some of the things
I've been reading, 1 think some
record-straightening would be in
order."
Longer Sessions Possible
Barton predicted future sessions
could be even longer than the
record 141-days this year "be
cause the business of this state
has become so great."
He said artificial limits on
length would not result in better
government.
Barton, a resident of nearby
Coquille, outlined in detail the tax
program and cited problems faced
by lawmakers as they trimmed
"fat" from budget requests.
"Legislatures should be known'
for what they don't do as well as
for what they do," Barton said.
"One thing this past session did
not do was enact a sales tax."
He blasted the excessive lobby
ing that took place on the work
men's compensation measure
which the House defeated, and
predicted the bill could come to
life again if a special session is
held this fall.
Referral Eyed
"Maybe this (the pressure for
enactment of a new workmen's
compensation bill) explains some
of the agitation for referral of the
income tax bill," Barton said.
He cited as "noteworthy" sev
eral things the legislature did not
do, and said "we didn't pass the
Liberty Amendment, or silly con
