HEFFNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thuredor, November 18. 1967 Vietnam Checks 'Cancer Growth Benge Declares (Continued from paga 1) working to Improve their Btand art! of llvlnc, helping promote education. Tliev are a Malaya-Polynesian-Burmese people and are more primitive than the Vietnamese who came out of Southern China, he said. Many of the Montajrnards are Involved in the war. some serv ing an defense croups with American special services. The Vletconff have not been very successful In Infiltrating among the Montaenarda be cause of the communal nature of the latter, Bence pointed out. Montairnard.s have not been par ticul.'irlv friendly to either the North or South Vietnamese and have pressed for their indepen dence. They don't "buy" what the Vletnantese have to "sell" was the way Benge put It. But the Vietconu come In at times, take their villacex, strip them and conscript the people. In Parlac province there an1 about 202.000 persons of whlc 00 are Montaenarris and 40 are Vietnamese. Bence can see several weak nesses In the United States ef fort In Vietnam. He said that we trained the South Vietnam ese in conventional warfare lac tics in the late 1950's. "Conventional warfare, with tanks and trucks, doesn't work in the rice paddles," he said "This, to considerable extent Immobilized the South Vietnam ese armv." Since then, attempts have been maed to convert to cuer ilia tactics. The same is pretty much true of the American sol . dier sent to Vietnam, the lone man said. One of the main faults of our system is the short period of time that our people serve in Vietnam, he said. In his own case, Bence said that he never felt until two years ago that he was really making gains in his work. "Then I began believing it sincerely," he said. With the new civilian person nel coming in, '. . .a large per centage of the time is spent try ing to convince them not to try to rediscover the wheel," he said. The newcomers know very lit tle about the area or the peo ple. One will specialize in one thing, and another in another thing. When one leaves, the em phasis shifts, and it becomes confusing. Shell Hits Near House Benge said that he has sel dom been under fire although military activity is going on continuously in the province. Recently, mortar shells hit about a quarter-mile from his house. Elements of the 4th division are now in the province, which is used for Infiltration routes by the North Vietnamese. The Mon tagnards are good about getting information on the infiltrations and passing it along. The Morrow county man had high praise for American lead ership in Vietnam, although he belittled some of the reports that he is called upon to make, answering such questions as, "Show what you have accomp lished In the last three months." He said that he has had vis Its from "generals on down" and spent four hours escorting Rich ard Nixon on a tour several months ago. "I think we are very very for tunate," he said of the leader ship in Vietnam. "These men are intelligent and they are real Americans." Benge believes that as the South Vietnamese gain more confidence in their government, and as the government proves itself, a gradual pullout may be started as in Korea, but he be lieves It will be necessary to maintain a force there for years to come. He believes that the close coverage by television of the Vietnam war has had an ad verse effect on the American public. See Sons Killed "It is the first time they have seen the horrors of war as they develop," he said. "It is the first time that they see their sons get killed." He told of the enemy's inge nious methods of protecting it self.

Construction of Riverside High school should complete the county's building program, but Daniels said, the county should be aware of some needs that remain in the future. One such is the need for a Heppner High vocational buildlnc. A standardized committee from the state that visited lone and Heppner elementary schools recently said that the programs in the schools were excellent, Daniels reported, but some points on building improve ments were brought out for con sideration, such as changes in rest rooms. As to the current reorganiza tion of the Intermediate Educa tion districts, Daniels said that Morrow county undoubtedly will be placed with the Umatilla County I.E.D. but said that cost should be on a student popula tion basis Instead of an assess ed value basis. This should be in operation by 1969-70. The stu dent population basis would find Morrow taking about one- tenth the cost as compared with one-fourth' under the assessed valuation plan. The superintendent discussed the property tax relief picture and said that it Is possible that the legislature may present the "smorgasbord" plan. Either the sales tax or the broadened In come tax is devised to provide $100,000,000 to schools as a property tax offset. This would mean an additional $185,000 to $200,000 to Morrow county In addition to present basic school support. This would provide some 9 or 10 mills reduction In taxes here, but the county's offset would go from 18 to 35, while the statewide goal Is 50 In school support. Thus -Morrow would not receive as much benefit as manv other counties. The new superintendent, who took the position in August ar ter serving as Riverside High and Boardman Elementary pnn cipal for six years, also discus sed briefly the professional ne gotiation committee, which by new state law, discusses salar ies with the board; the pros pects for the budget, and the new Riverside building.

Benge made the trip to the United States on an airplane with Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker. This was by coincidence since the ambassador was head ed home in the Air Force plane at just the time Benge received his emergency leave. The lone man will fly to Washington, D. C, at 5:30 Sunday morning to return on the ambassador's plane. He expects to be back in the States on a regular leave next April but says that he will sign for another two or three years. I will continue working as long as I feel I am making a contribution," he said. Likening the war in Vietnam to insurance again, Benge sum marized, "You don't like the high rates of Insurance, but let your house get burned down and then where are you?" The action involved damages for two tracts of land taken from the defendants along the Columbia River waterfront in connection with the John Day dam project. The couple had been award ed $9,420 for the 260-acre tracts in U. S. District Court. In the initial action the court agreed with the government that the land's special value as a port site should be disregarded. However, the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Fran cisco reversed this decision. The lustice department appealed, contending that if the Circuit Court's decision stood it could result in "windfalls" to owners of riverbank land and could en courage speculation on such properties. The Supreme Court took iur Isdiction. .and recently, Robert Abrams of Mahoney and Ab- rams. HeDnner. went to Wash ington, D. C, with Alex Parks of Portland to appear before the court in representing tne oe fendants. Justice Byron R. White an nounced the decision which sta ted that owners of riverbank land, taken bv the federal gov ernment, are not entitled to be paid for the land's value as a notential port site. White said, "Special values rising from access to a navig able stream are allocable to the public and not to private inter est. Prindles Attend Logging Congress Mr. and Mrs. Milo Prlndle of Kinzua Corporation were among those who attended the 58th sess ion of Pacific Logging Congress, held last week at the Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Wash. Prindle serves as one of the directors of the organization. One of the highlights for the wives of those attending was the opportunity to tour the Renton plant of Boeing Company, and were escorted . through the new Boeing-707, a 490-pas s e n g e r plane with cruising speed of up to 700 miles per hour.
