Newspaper Page Textt Castro Supporters To Demonstrate Execution Backing Havana -CPU- An estimated 500,000 supporters of Fidel Castro began massing here today to demonstrate their support for the execution of Cuban "war criminals" and to defy U.S. "meddling" in this country's affairs. Banks, government offices, schools, factories and stores closed for the day, which was also proclaimed a day of na tional mourning for physi cians' said to have been killed by supporters of ousted ex- President Fulgencio Batista because they tended wounded revolutionaries. David Salvador, new presi dent of the CTC Labor feder ation, ordered its members except newsmen and trans portation or communications workers - to stop work from 6 a.m. to midnight. .Stadium Trial Site A few hours before the scneauiea start 01 the mass meeting, Agirculture Minister Humberto Sori Marin an nounced that the trials of 500 to 600 army men held prison er here will begin Thursday or Friday in the Sports Pal ace, a stadium with a capa city of 15,000 spectators. Sori, who drafted Cuba's new penal code while he was serving in the hills with Cas tro's guerrillas, said he him self will prosecute the first three defendants. They are to be Lt. Col. Ric ardo L. Gau, Mai. Jesus Sosa Blanco and Capt. Pedro Mor- ejon Valdes, who among them are accused of torturing or killing more than 200 revolu tionaries while Batista was in power.. Two Congressmen Attend Castro has invited hundreds of persons from the United States and Latin America to witness the trials here. A number of them already are on hand, including two U.S. congressmen - Reps. Adam Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.), and Charles Porter (D-Ore.). Powell told a press confer ence Tuesday that the State Department has advised con gressmen not to attend be cause their presence might be interpreted as an indorsement of the executions.

Turner, 76, an attorney, Ma sonic leader and first commis sioner of the State Commis sion Against Discrimination, died at his Brooklyn home Tuesday of a heart ailment. Legislation Pouring in Ahead Of Schedule, Mrs. Nye Reports s I I IS By EVE NYE State Representative from Jackson County Salem-For many years I've heard about the frantic last days of the legislative sessions. sion may well stand out as the one of the ( days, with the hassle over the Secretary of State ap pointment, the big rush to Eii is set me oc tennial plans completed and financed, and the flood of leg islation pouring in much ahead of schedule. At the rate we are progress ing in the House, either we are going to consider a record number of bills or we'll be home in short order. So far, after four working days, 188 bills have been introduced. All of the Holmes budget bills are in, a number of education bills, plus many others. Com mittees to which they have been assigned will begin con sidering them this week, and there may even be some hear ings. Economy Needed I'm well aware that the people of Oregon would like to think that their legislature is saving money by getting down to business quickly and looking toward an early ad journment, but I also feel that they want a well-considered and thoroughly studied tax program for the next bien nium. There can be no doubt that they want economy in state spending, and the mem bers of both parties are in full accord on that, but to pass out a tax program based en tirely on the retiring gover nor's recommendations, with out giving consideration to the plans of the new gover nor, would be unwise and un fair and would put the new administration in a very dis advantageous position. Governor Hatfield has been given little opportunity since the election to get his fiscal program ready for presenta tion to the legislature and the Courl Records DISTRICT COURT James Pastor Morgan, over width. $15.

Sly Report Neglected Moreover, I am concerned because the Sly report, which I believe is a very unbiased, factual and objective one, is getting scant consideration since it- was not completed at the time Governor Holmes drew up his budget and fiscal recommendations.' The state paid $35,000 for this survey, hiring one of the country's top men in the field of taxation to conduct it. It has long range implications directed toward improving Oregon's economic health, and I an: hopeful that the rec6mmenda tions it contains will get care ful study before any tax pro gram is accepted by the legis lature. As for me, I am a very busy person just trying to get my legislative feet under me. Speaker Bob Duncan has treated me well in the matter of committee assignments, giving me Education, Agricul ture and Local Government, all good committees and hard working ones. Bob makes an excellent presiding officer and has entered wholeheart edly into the spirit of the Centennial by emulating our pioneer forebears in the mu- FOR MARCH OF DIMES - Bert Rostell, seated, places a coin in a March of Dimes canister as Bart Garred watches, They are co-chairmen of the annual March of Dimes cam paign in Medford.

Among the 39 guests was Albert Monzani, electrical en gineer from Milan, Italy, who is here as a consultant for in stallation of a transformer at the ureen bprings power plant.
