Oswald killer
to be given
mental tests
DALLAS (UPIWack Ruby's
defense attorneys today with
drew their request for his re
lease on bail and the slayer of
Lee Harvey Oswald was or
dered back to his cell pending
intensive mental examinations
under guard in a hospital.
At the same time, the de
fense presented Judge Joe B.
Brown with a motion demanding
a change of venue that would
put Ruby's murder trial in a
city outside Dallas. Brown, a
criminal district court judge,
said he would rule on the mo
tion when he opens the
scheduled trial in his Dallas
court, Feb. 3.
Brown, holding the bail bond
hearing, said he would confer
with Dist. Atty. Henry Wade
and chief defense attorney Mel
vin Belli on the change of venue.
The court named Dr. Martin
L. Fowler, of the Titus-Harris
Clinic in John Sealy Hospital,
Galveston, Tex., as a "disin
terested party" to conduct ex
aminations of the man who
shot and killed the accused
presidential assassin before a
nationwide television audience
last Nov. 25.
Fowler had written a letter to
Brown urging intensive exami
nation. The defense argued that
the 52-year-old Ruby had brain
damaee and was so unstable he
did not know what -he was do
ing when he pulled the trigger.
Ruby was ordered held in
jail and will be removed under
guard to a hospital for brain
wave tests, spinal fluid tests,
X-rays and other examinations.
SE Oregon
buried under
deep snow
Search continued as weather
conditions permitted today for a
light plane missing since last
Friday with four urovint,
Calif., men aboard.
Bad weather has hampered
search so far, but on Monday
half a dozen planes hunted with
out success in the Fall River
and Paulina Mountain areas
south and southwest of Bend.
Search spreads from this re
gion to the Lakeview area,
which Monday was under a low
ceiling.
At 9:45 a.m. today, two planes
were dispatched from Roberts
Field to check on conditions, ac
cording to information from Al
Tilse, search and rescue coordi
nator. Pilots were Cal Butler,
Redmond, and Jack Lidell, Cul
ver. Tilse said that searchers are
absolutely without clues as to
where the missing plane may
have crashed, or landed. Tilse
said it is difficult to send out
ground crews, unless there is
some good lead to trace out.
Ground crews will be dis
patched if needed.
Jury selection
is continuing
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (UPI)
Federal Judge Frank Wilson
today overruled another move
to delay the Jury-tampering tri
al of Teamsters union Presi
dent James Hoffa and ordered
the selection of a jury to re
sume.
It Is feared that the white
plane, with red trimmings, may
be buried in deep snow that nas
fallen in recent days.
Aboard the plane, which was
lost on a flight from Bremerton,
Wash., to Alturas, Calif., last
Friday night were the Rev.
Roderick. Hulet, the pilot, ana
passengers Jack Alt, Laurence
Green and Mayo Schroeder.
The four, it has been learned,
were on a one-day round trip
from Oroville to Bremerton,
Wash., where they looked over
a new church under construc
tion there.
The north bound plane, its
wings iced at the time, landed
at the Redmond airport about 6
a.m. Friday, and the four men
had breakfast in Redmond, be
fore continuing north.
The Rev. Mr. Hulet is the son
of a former pastor of the Free
Methodist Church in Redmond,
the Rev. William Hulet, who
was in Redmond in 1933 when
the church was organized.
(First spellings of the name,
in reports from Portland, Oro
ville and Bremerton, was "Hew
lett," but records in Redmond
indicate this was in error.)
Some doubt was held that the
search could be continued into
the Lakeview country today.
That area was in the grip of
a heavy storm early in the day
with deep snow covering hills,
A state officer reported he
had heard a plane over Lake-
view after midnight Friday,
anout tne time the Hulet plane
should have passed over the
area.

Tanganyikan
revolt reported
NAIROBI. Kenya (UPI) -
The Tanganyikan army revolt
spread today to the trade cent
er of Tabora, 450 miles west of
Dar - es - Salaam where fighting
and looting was reported rag
ing anew.
The British and Uganda gov
ernments said they had receiv
ed reports that African troops
of the 2nd Battalion of the Tan
ganyika Rifles had mutinied
against their White British of
ficers and that fighting was un
derway at their base in Tabora.
Monday, the 1st Battalion of
the Tanganyika Rifles revolted
in Dar - es - Salaam, setting off
shooting, looting and rioting
which were reported continu
ing today in the African and
Arab suburbs of the city.
The two battalions constitute
the entire army in Tanganyika.
Tabora Is located on the main
railway line between Dar-es-
Salaam and Chicoma on Lake
Tanganyika.
Communications were almost
completely cut off with Tang
anyika, reliable reports said 10
persons had been killed there.
Unconfirmed reports put the
toll at 30, with another 120 in
jured In Dar-es-Salaam.
The whereabouts of Tanganyi
kan President Julius Nyerere
remained uncertain. One report
said he left the capital Monday
and joined the 2nd Battalion of
the Tanganyikan Rifles in Ta
bora. Another report had Nyerere
broadcasting today from the
state house in his capital of
Dar-es-Salaam, urging peace
and calm among his people.

The report appeared Monday
in the influential newspaper Le

It followed other reports, cir

that De Gaulle will announce
France's recognition of Red
China either next Monday or
next Tuesday.
That De Gaulle will recoemze
Communist China appeared a
foregone conclusion. Only the
exact date was in doubt.
In Washington, officials said
De Gaulle was expected to
make the announcement at a
press conference on Jan. 31.
The French government, in a

WASHINGTON (UPI)-Presi-

gress a $97.9 billion "economy
and progress budget brimming
with optimism and radiating
election-year significance.
Johnson proposed cutting
federal spending $500 million
under current levels in the new
1965 fiscal year, marking only
the second time in nine years
this has been done.
But he said his budget
"would advance our nation to
ward greater national security,
a stronger economy and reali
zation of the American dream
of individual security and equal
opportunity for all."

that the Treasury would wind

Heinrich Krone, one of West

France's partner in a bilateral

firmly against the recognition of

But a number of diplomatic

Tongue Point
school proposed
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Presi-
dent Johnson's budget message
to Congress today asked $2,042,
000 for establishment of an In
dian school at the abandoned
Tongue Point Naval Station
near Astoria. Ore.
The request was included
among $210 million asked of
Congress for services and con
structlon by the Bureau of In
dian Affairs during the fiscal
year starting July 1.
Plans lor tne scnool were an
nounced in December. A school
housing 1,000 students and about
165 faculty memoers is piannea,
according to Sen. Wayne Morse,
D-Ore.
Tongue Point last September
also was announced by the late
President John F. Kennedy as
a future site for a Defense De
partment weapons system man
agement school and a rescue
helicopter base.
Fate of the management
school was reported uncertain

Johnson also assumed that
Congress would go along with
a $1.3 billion slash in defense
spending and give him new cot
ton and dalrv nrofframs to flem
save another $1.16 billion.
Either or both of these as
sumptions could be upset by
some new international crisis
(Johnson foresaw continued un
easy peace) or by the refusal
of the lawmakers to overhaul
the farm program.
Treasury secretary Douglas
Dillon said the President's cut
in expenditures greatly in
creased chances of getting a
balanced budget in fiscal 1967.
Previously, the Treasury indi
cated the deficit would not be
erased until fiscal 1968.

he went on the theory that "an

The result was calculated to

fine. i any of their 12 apartments until
the Negro family has the oppor
tunity to accept or reject one
of them.
Circuit Judge George Duncan
scheduled a hearing for 1:30
p.m. Friday to determine if the
temporary restraining order
shall remain in effect until the
case is set for trial.
The action was brought by
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton
In the name of Labor Commis
sioner Norman O. Nilsen. whose
office is charged with eniorcinf
Oregon's civil rights laws.
The 1963 legislature amended
the state's civil rights laws to
put teeth In conciliation agree
ment enforcement procedures.
The stage for the precedent
setting showdown was set last
September when Compton Mc
Kenzie filed a complaint charg
ing that after he rented an
apartment from Mrs. Goerke
the apartment was re-rented to
a third party and occupied be
fore be and bis family could
move In.
At that time, Goerke said he
had rented the apartment with
out knowledge of his wife's ac
tion. After McKenzie filed his com
plaint, the Goerkes entered into
a conciliation agreement where
by they were to offer the next
available apartment to the Mc
Kenzie. The complaint charged an
apartment has been vacant
since the first of the year, but
that the McKenzies have not
been allowed to move in.
Under Oregon law, valid com
plaints are followed by concilia
tion agreements. This mams
one of the few times in Oregon
history a conciliation agreement
apparently has not been follow
ed. Oregon civil rights laws
cover housing, employment, and
public accommodations.
The State Justice Department
said the pending court action
seeks enforcement of the concil
iation agreement. A spokesman
said the court could either per
manently restrain the landlords
from renting their apartments,
or restrain further rentals until
the McKenzies have an oppor
tunity to rent one of the apart
ments.
A spokesman said the McKen
zles could bring separate action
for breach of the conciliation
agreement and file for punitive
and actual damages if they ex
ist.
a government that Is solvent, a
government that Is compassion
ate is the kind of government
that endures."
The President outlined his
spending plans in terms of both
the familiar administratlva
budget and the cash budget,
newly emphasized by Kennedy
last year.
The cash budget takes ae
count of collections and pay-
ments by the social security
and Highway trust funds. These
items are not included In the
administrative budget and soma
economists consider the cash
budget more realistic.
Here Is how Johnson's pro
posals look under both systems
as compared witn tne current
fiscal year:
Administrative) Budget
1f4 (billions) 1HI
Revenues $88.4 $93
Spending $98.4 $97.1
Deficit $10.4 .
Cash Budget
Revenues $114.4 $1W.T
Spending $122.7 $122.7
Deficit $ 8.3 $ 7.9
The President's specific pro
posals included:
Speedy passage of the (11
billion tax reduction which he
called "an integral and vital
part of my budgetary proposal"
and a badly needed stimulus to
the economy. The dui passed
the House last session and now
is in the Senate Finance Com
mittee which hopes to complete
action this week.
Attack Poverty
A $1 billion Increase fai new
spending authority to launch
"an all-out attack on poverty.
The President said these funds
would be channelled Into pro
grams Intended to improve job
opportunities for the unem
ployed and low income groups.
Emphasis will be placed on
raising the "educational, health
and skill levels" of youth to en
able them to break out of the
"vicious circle" of inherited
poverty.
-A $1.3 billion budget cut In
defense programs to a total of
S54 miuon. jonnson a tea me
nation's "high level of pre
paredness," and said that econ
omies implemented by the)
armed forces in recent years
were beginning to show results.
Space programs will be
hiked $600 billion to $5 billion
with continued emphasis on
putting men on the moon by
1970. "There is no second-class
ticket to space," the President
said.
-The "highly successful"
Peace Corps will be expanded
from 10,500 to 14,000 volunteer
workers.
