policy urged by Gov. Hatfield
By Ann H. Pearson
UPI Staff Writer
SALEM (UPI)-Gov. Mark
Hatfield called for a "no new
taxes" policy today as the spec
ial session of the Oregon legis
lature convened.
In a terse address to a joint
session of the Senate and House,
the governor said the lawmak
ers should "be aware the vast
majority of the people expect
no new taxes from this extra
ordinary session."
Hatfield told the legislators to
attend to the state's fiscal crisis
and go home.
He recommended re-passage
of a $12 million tax speed-up,
and cuts in basic school sup
port and capital construction.
"We are met to respond to
the expressed will of the peo
ple." he said.
The voters "summarily and
decisively" rejected the $60 mil
lion tax increase passed by the
regular 1963 session. Hatfield
said.
Own Proposals Ignored
"The fruits of your previous
efforts have been voided by
those to whom we owe final
responsibility," he remarked,
noting that his own proposals
had been ignored.
Hatfield said the defeat of
the income tax program has
been variously interpreted to
mean the voters want a sales
tax. a cigarette tax. or no more
taxes.
"To interpret last month's
election results as a demand for
a new tax is to misread the in
tentions of those we serve," he
said.
Hatfield's address came short
ly after members of the House
voted to open the door to in
troduction of any and all tax
bills. The Senate, taking an op
posite stand, declined even to
activate its tax committee.
The governor recommended
passage of a bill that would re
quire employers to speed up
their turnover of withholding
taxes to the state, netting an
extra $12 million this biennium.
The one-shot measure was a
relatively uncontested portion of
the tax program which the
voters rejected.
Hatfield also called for author
ity to reduce basic school mon
ey, for a saving of $12 million.
And he asked the legislators to
place a moratorium on state
construction.
Hatfield already has trimmed
$17 million from agency budg
ets under his control, and has
'Junked $18 million in capital
construction and salary hikes,
j The governor charged the leg
; islators "to undertake no sub
jects at this session which are
not directly related to our fiscal
picture."
, And he urged them "to recog
inize that there will remain the
uncompleted task of tax reform
which must be faced squarely
by the 1965 regular session."
Hatfield took the opportunity
to give the legislators a brief re
buke. He noted the regular ses
sion had rejected his own re
commendations for broad tax re
form and a cigarette tax, and
had turned down his proposal
for a mid-session election to de
termine the wishes of the people.
He said the program the leg
islature finally approved wai
"disliked for many reasons."
"But it Is not for us here as
sembled to dwell on the past,"
he said.
"Let us resolve here together
that we will so meet the chal
lenge which is ours that we will
deserve the confidence of the
people of Oregon," he said.
"They have spoken. There is
only one response, and that is
'so be it'."

ARLINGTON. Va. (UPI) -President
Kennedy today 1 e d
the nation in homage to Ameri
ca's war dead by placing a
wreath on the tomb of the un
knowns at Arlington National
Cemetery.
Flanked by his military aides
and by Marine Gen. David
M. Shoup, Kennedy appeared
promptly at 11 a.m. EST, t h e
hour of the armistice ending
World War I in 1918. A crowd of
about 5,000 persons gathered at
the historic tomb.
A 21 shell cannon salute was
fired in the background, after
which platoon Sgt. Allen Eld
ridge of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., as
wreathbearer, assisted the
President in laying a wreath of
red and white carnations.
The President and his aides,
with Defense Secretary Robert
S. McNamara, Army Secretary
Cyrus Vance, and others, then
stood at attention during sound
ing of the taps.
Wreath Of Poppies
In another ceremony at the
shrine, a wreath of poppies
from Flanders Field, Belgium,
was nlared at the tomb of Gen.
John J. Pershing, commander
of American forces in world
War 1.
Veterans Day originally was
a holiday marking the World
War I armistice, but after
World War II the holiday was
re-named Veterans Day and
took on a more general mean
ing than a commemoration of
the end of "the war to end all
wars." Ceremonies were held
in many cities across the na
tion as well as at Arlington.
In a speech at Welch, W. Va.,
Vice President Lyndon B. John
son, just back spm a European
visit, said the lesson of Vet
erans Day is that in the
continuing cold war "it is
necessary for free men to be
firm."
He warned, "it is clear that
the cold war the constant
probing for weak spots in the
shield of freedom will continue.
Whoever has illusions to the
contrary need only read the
headlines from Berlin." This
was obvious reference to the
recent near -crises over Soviet
blocking of American convoys

UNITED NATIONS, "N. Y.
(UPI) Russia's demand for
drastic changes in a 46-power
resolution forced postponement
today of a vote on disarmament
in the General Assembly's main
political committee.
The 111 - nation committee
agreed to a Nigerian proposal
to adjourn its arms debate to
let the smnsors consider the
chanees sought by the Soviet
union.
The committee called a meet-
inn fnr this afternoon to debate
a 10-nation resolution calling for
de-nucleanzauon ot iaun ninci
ica. Success of the proposal,
which grew out of last April s
joint declaration by five Latin
American countries that the
area should be made nuclear
free, depended upon the atti
tide of the United States and
Cuba.
The disarmament delay came
after Russia had forced a week
end recess of the political com
mittee to get instructions from
Moscow.
The Russians demanded that
the 46-power resolution be
changed in these ways:
Removal of reference to the
joint statement of agreed prin
ciples for disarmament, which
was issued by the Soviets and
the United States in 1961 and
has been the bible of arms taiKs
ever since.
Elimination of a directive to
the Geneva conference to con
centrate on measures against
surprise attack and against the
spread of nuclear weapons.
Removal of reference to
shifts in the East-West disarma
ment positions which "have the
effect of narrowing the differences."
The Soviets sought to have
these changes put in as amend
ments to the resolution. West
!ern diplomats were divided on
I the possible motives for the de
mands.
