Hours after the vote, which cut over half a billion (that's right, billion) dollars from his for eign aid request, he blasted away at the Republican party. Its mem bers in the House, ho intimated, were the so-and-sos in the whole business. That party, he stated, must bear the' responsibility of harpoon ing foreign aid. " The President is as politically astute as any man who has occupied the White House. But two or three times in recent months he has dem onstrated a blind spot in his assess ments of Congressional action. That blind spot is his unwillingness to lay much of the blame where it belongs, upon members of his own Democratic party in Congress. (We say unwillingness deliberately; no one is so naive as to believe John F. Kennedy is unaware of the true sit uation.) Ond Washington observer says this is political amnesia. He feels Mr. Kennedy is blind when it comes to major defections from within his own party. It is true a big majority of Republicans voted for the cut in foreign aid. But it is also true they could not have carried the day un less joined by a good-sized group of Democrats. Look at it this way: There are 435 seats in the House, with three of them being vacant at the present time. Demo crats outnumber Republicans, 256 176. In the Senate the disproportion is even greater. There are 67 Demo crats in the Senate, only 33 Republi cans. On the foreign aid bill 172 Democrats and 16 Republicans stuck with the President; 66 Demo crats joined 156 Republicans to cut the budget request. If only 18 of that 66 had stayed with the President there would have been no cut. AH but three of the 66 were from the South or border states. The same thing happened last year on the President's program for medical care for the aged. There the Senate voted 52-48 to kill the bill. Twenty-one Democrats joined 31 Re publicans to do the killing. If only three of the 21 had stayed with their party's leader the bill would have passed. All but four of the 21 were from the South. The President used the medical care program as an issue during his campaigning for friends in 1962. But members of his party outnum ber the opposition over 2-1 in the Senate; the margin was nearly as great last year. (The President himself has not always been strong in his support of foreign aid. Four times during his service in the Senate he voted for cuts in President Eisenhower's for eign aid budget.) The foreign aid bill defeat of recent days probably, more than anything else, points up Mr. Ken nedy's personal political problem in the South. For many years Southern representatives in Congress support ed foreign aid spending, as have those from most areas in the country outside the Middle West. When can didates for governor of a Southern state make the basic campaign on which of two men likes Mr. Kennedy the least, we have an indication of the lack of favor !n which Mr Ken nedy must he held in the South. Whatever his problems, we wish Mr. Kennedy would be a little more fair in his criticism of Congressional actions which are displeasing. Few Presidents in the history of our country have enjoyed Congressional majorities as large as those favor ing Mr. Kennedy. He should not level all his wrath at the Republicans when he loses, particularly since his own party has such big margins, if only he can hold them. Drew Pearson CONSTANTA. Rumania If we are to follow the co-existence pol icy set by President Kennedy we have to know the countries in the Soviet bloc, and to that end I went see Gheorghe Gheorehiu-Dej, irman of the Rumanian Peo- Republic. .yj- ::i stern pictures ot (jneorgrnu-IJej stare down from all Rumanian ttv government offices, but when I 'i.v$i"c$!i met n'm on terrace of his sum- the Black Sea, relaxed and cordial. I recalled meeting him in New York in 1960 when most of the Communist leaders had come to the United Nations. There had been a great deal of newspaper speculation at that time as to what the top Communist leaders of the world had been plotting on the SS Baltic as they steamed across the Atlantic to New York. This week, for the first time, I got the ans wer. "Everybody was seasick," laughed Gheorghiu-Dej, "everybo dy except the captain, Khrushchev and me. The Baltic was a 9,000-ton vessel and tossed on the waves like a cork. We didn't have time to do anything except take care of our fellow passengers. "Khrushchev and I weren't sup posed to drink, but we finally sneaked a drink before dinner. There were three doctors on board but wc even had to take care of them. The newspapers thought we were discussing top strategy, but we were only seasick." I reminded the Rumanian chair man that when I had interviewed him in New York he had said, apropos of the difficulties between the United States and Russia: "when the big bulls are fighting, the little bulls should stay away." Congratulated Kennedy Ghoorghiu - Dej remembered this, but this time he commented: "The little bulls have a duty to humanity, and when they all pull together they can be a force in the world. "The test-ban treaty," he said, "is a great thing. True, it's only a step, but it's a step which should energize the statesmen to move forward; to come closer, and open all roads and channels for peace. "We have sent our congratula tions to President Kennedy and said that the Rumanian people approve his position. I believe he will improve the strength of his position as a result of signing the treaty and that he will win out over his critics. "I also believe that President De Gaulle will ratify," said Gheorghiu-Dej. "The spirit of De Gaulle is not the spirit of the French peo ple. They want a test ban treaty and public opinion is strong." The top man of Rumania went on to talk enthusiastically about the new moves for better under standing between Washington and Moscow and, among other things, said that the peoples of the East and West must kave a right to en joy happiness. "Our definition of happiness," he said, "is to live under good con ditions: not to trouble anyone: not to be troubled by anyone; and be a friend of everyone." He Indicated that Rumania is trying to follow such a course. Gheorghiu-Dej told in some de tail about Rumania's amazing economic growth, but said that, like other countries. Rumania has a problem in the drift to the cities. The city population has grown about eight times in comparison with the rural population, while the over-all population has in creased about one million in fif teen years. "We have birth control clinics not only in the cities but In the villages." he said. "In the old days there were laws against teaching birth control, but not to day." U.S. Trad Ban Gheorghiu-Dej expressed regret over lagging trade relations with the United States, which he attri buted to a State Department boy cott. "We have tried to buy approxi mately ten factories in the Uni ted States," he said, "factories for manufacturing fertilizer, tires, plastics, electronics, rubber, and various petrochemicals. But the State Department has said no." . "We bought one plant from the Hyrdo-Carbon Research Corpora tion which sold it to us despite State Department opposition. The State Department then barred Hydro-Carbon from doing business with Eastern European countries for five years." The Rumanian chairman said that when his government was not able to buy from the United States, it bought the same fac tories from West Germany, Eng land, or France. "They are very happy to sell them to us," he said, "and we pay cash. "I discussed this with Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman when he was here, and he seem ed quite surprised to hear about it. He said he would report it to President Kennedy." My own independent investiga tion showed that it is quite true that the State Department has been barring the sale of factories and other goods to Rumania on the ground that they are strategic. It is also true that they pay cash, and these payments would mater ially help the U.S. balance of pay ments. Furthermore, our NATO allies promptly step in and sell the goods which we refuse to sell. Whether this will be changed after the test ban agreement and after the thaw in the cold war will be an interesting point to watch. So ran part of the conversation with the man who operates the most economically energetic of the socialist countries with which the United States is to co-exist. :Myi NickeFs Worth s A friend of Oregon, OSU, retires Airrcd R. Masters, for 38 years head of the athletic program at Stanford, retired Saturday night. Some 350 of his friends gathered at a Palo Alto restaurant to pay him tribute, including several who made the trip from Oregon for the pur pose. Included among the latter were Leo Harris, athletic director at Ore gon and Spec Keene, head of the department at Oregon State. Both had known Masters as a friend for many years. Masters did not disappoint his Northwest friends. In his remarks before a crowd which included ath letic directors from every member school of the new "Big Six," he spoke of his disappointment over the breakup of the old Pacific Coast Conference. He did not get too speci fic this time, but in a talk a few weeks ago he laid t he blame for the bustup at the door of UCLA, noting that that school's "cheating" was responsible for the trouble. This time he confined himself to a pitch for renewal of relations, on a formal basis, with Oregon and Oregon State. As it stands now the two Oregon schools are scheduled, in football, at least, by each of the Big Six. Masters thinks the Oregon schools should be invited to Join in a formal conference relationship, and did not hesitate to say so. Masters always has been a friend of the Oregon schools. He went to Stanford, as a student, from Oregon. His father was a Portland attorney. His brother practices law there now. He has other family ties in the Portland area. His successor, Chuck Taylor, was born in Portland, and has connections there. The Stan ford pair has led the way; It is quite probable other schools will follow, and that Oregon and Oregon State will be back in a formal conference within a few months.

Roundup attendance sets new record To the Editor: The Board of Directors of the Crooked River Roundup Associa tion wish to express their thanks, for the publicity you gave on our past Roundup. Our attendance was greater than in many years. It takes the cooperation of many business firms, civic organiza tions and individuals to make an enterprise of this magnitude, ap preciated and a financial success. Again many thanks. Sincerely yours, Eddie Lane, Sec. Princville, Oregon, Sept. 3, 1963 Where is the saucer? somebody goofed To the Editor: Friday's Bulletin carried a pic ture "No Tea Thanks." Somebody goofed. Doesn't your photographer, or the lady pouring, know that you don't offer an Englishman a "cuppa" without a saucer under the cup? After all, whether the tea comes out of a silver pot, or a plain old pottery one; you still need a saucer to blow in, if the tea is too hot to drink. Fag tax favored in straw vote SALEM (UP!) A straw vote at the Oregon State Fair indicates a state cigarette tax is favored by 59 per cent of the Republi cans and 58 per cent of the Dem ocrats voting. A sales tax won support from 54 per cent of the Republicans and 43 per cent of the Democrats. A test of a new electronic vote tabulating method is being con ducted at the fairgrounds by the secretary of state's office. If It is successful, it may be tested in general election next year. Preliminary results showed fair goers overwhelmingly favored a cigarette and sales tax as evenue sources if more tax money is needed by the state. Of the 1074 Republican ballots sampled, 641 favored a cigarette tax and 584 a sales tax. The 746 Democratic ballots showed 414 favored a cigarette tax and 325 a sales tax. Voters were asked to choose twx tax alternatives from a list of five. is Bend, Sept. Mary Scott Oregon, 2, 1963 From now on we are going to kill three of Castro's men for every Cuban who is shot. Manuel Ant ime, civilian leader of the 19G1 oii ban Invasion, announcing a new exile buildup against the Castro regime. Overall stewardship called real issue To the Editor: Article IV of the Oregon Con stitution provides in part. . ."The people reserve to themselves pow er to propose laws and amend ments to the constitution and to enact or reject the same at the polls, independent of the legisla tive assembly, and also reserve power at their own option to ap prove or reject at the polls any act of the legislative assembly." These rights are known as the rights of the initiative and of the referendum. It now appears that these rights can become doubtful when the time element can be so compress ed that their exercise requires overwhelming popular support. Some people appear to feel that taxpayers at large have no busi ness exercising a choice as to how much they wish to pay, or the amount or duplication of services to be paid for. Article IX of the Oregon Con stitution provides: Section No. 4 "No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in pursuance of appropria tions made by law." Section No. 6 "Whenever the expenses of any fiscal year shall exceed the income, the legislative assembly shall provide for levy ing a tax for the ensuing fiscal year, sufficient with other sources of income, to pay for the defici ency, as well as the estimated ex pense of the ensuing fiscal year." Now despite any misinforma tion that has appeared In editor ials and elsewhere, the legisla ture appropriates our entire tax revenue not just a proposed in crease thereto. Under our Con stitution, quoted above, said legis lature determines its overall spending program then proceeds to levy sufficient tax to finance the total budget plus any deficit or minus any cash carryover. The real issue is one of overall stewardship not unlike the exam ple contained in the biblical par able of the talents. It is only aft er they have proven that they have been faithful with what we have given them that they can expect to be trusted with more. The best possible source of ex tra funds needed at any point in the budget is from those places in any department where they are being misused or wasted. More taxes should be considered the last resort. Sincerely. Earl Glide well Hermiston. Oregon. Sept 2, 13 The Bulletin Wednesday, September 4, 1963 An Independent Newspaper Robert W. Chandlar.

Wallace again takes center stage By Al Kuettner UPI Staff Wrlttr By the time the steak, shrimp and chicken were wheeled into the office of Gov. George Wallace of Alabama Tuesday night at nine o'clock, he had once more pro pelled himself into the middle of a major confrontation over racial integration. Wallace and his top advisers had been in session ail day and their meeting went on into the night. The issue was what to do about Birmingham schools which were scheduled to be opened on an integrated basis today. Wallace appeared determined to precipitate another showdown over the issue. He had done it and lost in the integration of the University of Alabama in the early summer. He seemed ready and willing to do it again. What was the governor up to? Wallace, who still has three years to go as governor of Ala bama, seems determined to go down to the wire on every inte gration issue, forcing the federal government to use all its powers. On the Birmingham case, Wal lace also is confronting a local school board, one of the most powerful local bodies in the American system of community government. Sworn Enemy But President Kennedy Is the governor's really sworn enemy. Wallace can be expected to make it just as hard 83 possible to put integration orders into accom plished fact as long as he is in office. Wallace, without expecting to get very far, undoubtedly will be a willing candidate in a Demo cratic presidential primary in Maryland next spring. It would cost him $290 as an entry fee but that would buy him the chance he wants to lambast the Kennedy administration outside his own state in a campaign that would get national attention. Wallace is getting strong sup port in his battle with the Ken nedy administration. But he also is getting strong opposition. Both Birmingham and Macon County (Tuskegee) officials asked the governor to allow local au thorities to handle the school crisis. Adamant On lasua Wallace up to now is absolute ly adamant on the racial issue. He told the Senate Commerce Committee during its considera tion of the new civil rights bill that he would not enforce the public accommodations section if it became law. He also chided integrationist forces in the North, saying that segregation in Al.ibama is "above board" while it is just the oppo site in the North. Wallace is a tireless campaign er, even when he knows he Is fighting a losing battle. Among his followers, he never admits de feat He emerged undaunted Irom Paz, Lechin once again central figures in new Bolivian crisis By Phil Newtom UPI Staff Writar Back in 1952 when Bolivian President Victor Paz Estenssoro took office the first time it was with the support of Bolivia's tur bulent tin miners whose Trot skyite leadership had aligned it self with Paz's national revolu tionary movement. A first stop of the Paz govern ment was to nationalize the coun try's tin mines, upon which most of its wealth depended, and give the miners unprecedented veto powers over the mine manage ment. Back of this was the burly fig ure of a man named Juan Lech in, son of an Arab father and a Bolivian mother, said to have first been hired by the Patino mining interests for his ability as a football player. With this as a start, Lechin had advanced swiftly from executive secretary of the mine union in 1945, to senator in 1947 and to successful revolutionary leader in 1952. His was a powerful voice in calling Paz Estenssoro from Argentine exile to assume the presidency. In Bolivia's present crisis, Paz Twister causes heavy damage ST. MARY'S Pa. (UPI) - The two men pulled their car off the highway to watch the storm clouds gather. "Suddenly we saw the twister," explained Tom Hauber. "It looked to be about 15 feet wide at the bottom and about 500 feet across the top. It lasted about 5 to 10 minutes, tearing up everything in its path." Hauber, a radio announcer, and John Mishock, an engineer, were returning to their studio Tuesday when a tornado bore down on this small northwestern Pennsylvania community, causing more than $1 million damage. The twister damaged between 100 and 150 homes and garages, including 20 trailer homes, turned a moving tractor-trailer around in the air four times, splintered countless utility poles, downed power lines and uprooted trees. Less than 20 persons required hospital treatment. Only four were . hospitalized, the most seri ous suffering from a fractured leg. ' Fortunately," said state police Sgt. Joseph Hugar, "the kids were in school, the men were working and the mothers were in doors because of the rain.

Mayba soma fighters don't mind taking tha count as long as they gat in on counting tha take. and Lechin once mora are cen tral figures. Serving Second Term Paz is serving his second term as president and Lechin has ris en to vice president, but tha two arc in bitter conflict and the out come could determine whether the moderate left-of -center gov ernment of Paz is to continue or whether Bolivia is to become tha first Communist-controlled nation on the South American continent. Paz, long-since disenchanted with his former Communist sup porters, now relies upon tha Bo livian peasants who have bene fitted from his land reform pro gram. -. For Paz, as for Hernan Silas Zuazo, the in-between presidential office holder, tha job has been to stabilize the Bolivian economy and by development of its other rich mineral and agricultural re sources to rescue it from its one sided reliance upon tin. It has been uphill going.. 'V Aid Provides Stability In the 11 years since the revo lution, what little stability Bolivia has enjoyed has been possible only through U.S. aid amounting to around $20 million per year. A constant opponent of Un supported stabilization programs has been Lechin, who today joins the Marxists and Trotskyites in accusing the government of bow ing to the dictates of the U.S. State Department. At the core of the dispute are the efforts of the Paz government to rehabilitate the mining Indus-' try through $38 million in aid from the United States, West Ger many and the Inter-American De velopment Bank. The industry is heavily feather bedded and production has fallen steadily since nationalization. The history of the state mining corporation is one of woeful mis management and corruption so that not even expert auditors have been able to trace income and outgo. The miners, with guns left over from the revolution, are resisting government efforts to reduce the work force by 6,000 and introduce modern efficiency to the mines. Upon the outcome of the strug-' gle depends the future of $65 mil lion in promised U.S. aid. Other pens . . . A new service gas stations should add: folding road maps back the way they were.

George Anderson Jr., former chief of naval operations, was sworn in Tuesday as the U. S. ambassador to Portugal. Answer to Previoue Pintle Success Fluoridation of water came to San Francisco 13 years ago, and Dr. Ellis D. Sox, city health di rector, has now reported that "no other public health measure has been so rewarding in terms of disease prevention at so low a cost." There is no point in arguing with well meaning but ignorant antifluoridation fanatics who in sist that this practical protection for their children's dental health is some sort of dire Communist plot. But for those who can remain rational while discussing the top ic, Dr. Sox's report that "there have been no adverse effects on the health of the people consum ing our fluoridated water" should prove convincing. The cost of fluoridation, he said, averages only 4 cents per person per year, and already there has been "a noticeable improvement" in the incidence of tooth decay among youthful patients of our lo cal dentists. While some fluoridation propos als have been defeated by ill informed, irrational opponents in neighboring cities and counties, San Francisco can be thankful It is giving our future generations remarkably improved degree of dental health.
