He said he believes this country should "set rather clearly certain standards" among them the release of U.S. prisoners and the renun ciation of force in the For mosa area : to be met before recognizing the Peiping re gime. He said he "would be glad to discuss with Congressman Porter his views on trade." Rep. Charles O. Porter (D Ore.) has advocated carrying on trade with the Communist Chinese whether or. not their government is accorded rec-J ognition. Kennedy stated he, favored allowing U. S. newsmen to visit behind the Bamboo Cur tain. Assist India Turning to another nation, the senator said, "I feel the United States should be in a position to assist India in loans not grants during the period of its third five year plan." He explained that the plan is not yet fully drafted, but that this country should be ready when the time comes to answer India's requests. He estimated this aid "would require loans of prob ably $400-$500 million dur ing the five year period." He said the Unite States' assis tance should be a proportion ate part of a general aid pro gram with, other countries contributing their share. As for the West's relations with the Soviet Union over Berlin, he stated, "I think a summit conference in the spring or early summer is essential to any amicable so lution to the Berlin problem." He said this country's com mitment to maintaining West Berlin's freedom is "so pre cise" that it cannot back down. He warned that the United States is currently on a "collision course" with re- with new PROGRAM-SELECTOR that gives you 7 different cycles to wash and dry automatically !

Commenting on the current political turmoil in Bolivia, Kennedy said he believes that while '"ostensibly" precipitat ed by a magazine article, it really reflects "a basic hostil ity to our policies." He said that the New Deal in the 1930s presented a more favor able image- of this country abroad comparable to that during the American Revolu tion. He noted that Latin Ameri can countries today are de pendent on foreign markets here" during recessions. The senator was asked how he finds the compulsory auto mobile insurance law in Mas sachusetts comparable to one now being discussed in Oregon to be working out in his home state. He replied he did not consider himself well qualified to comment, but added, I've found it satisfactory." 'Said My Piece' Senator Kennedy declined to reply to criticisms in the Catholic press concerning his recently-published views on the separtation of Church and State relative to holding of fice in the U.S. government. "I have said my piece," he observed, "and I have no comment." He did say he considers himself "not responsible for the atmosphere that wants these questions asked." But, he added, he believes the pub lic "has a right to an answer." Asked why his position was made public at this particular time, he replied, "Somebody came in and asked me." 'Spirit of Charity' Kennedy referred in his dinner address to Roosevelt's speech accepting the presi dential nomination in 1936. "Better," he quoted Roosevelt, "the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the con sistent omissions of a govern ment frozen in the ice of its own indifference. "Where Franklin Roosevelt opened new horizons," he said, "this Administration has set ceilings" . Later in the evening he warned of the "economic gap" arising from the Administra tion's insistence on balancing the federal budget at the ex pense of needed spending. "There has never been a greater gap between the needs of the time and the things that are talked about by the Administration," he said. Ai Best We Can' "When an administration lets fall the reins of leader ship," Kennedy said, "to the extent that is possible they must be firmly held by Con gress, in this case the Demo cratic Congress. We must at tempt as best we can to ex ercise that leadership." But, he added, "Congress is constitutionally unable to give the kind of leadership the Contsitution places in the President of the United States." Speaking of the present bat tle for political ascendancy, he said, "Today the choice lies between Main st. and Madison ave. and the Dem ocratic party is moving down Main st." ' Future Elections "Some say," he noted, "that there are no major differences between the two major polit ical parties and that in the future elections will be decid ed more on the basis of per sonalities and public relations than they will be on issues." But he said he knew few peo ple in tne room could agree with this. "The problems," he said, "are not all solved, and the is sues are not all won and the battles are not all gone. On the contrary, our agenda to day is, if anything, even long er than it was in the 1930s. "We have not ' yet elimin ated the malignant effects of poverty, injustice, and illness from this country." New Ideas Kennedy called for new "brainpower" to meet the na tion's needs. "What we need most of all is a constant flow : of new ideas and the people who have them," he said, j "And we cannot obtain new ideas until we have a gov ernment and a nation and a press and a public opinion Ahich respect new ideas and respect the people who have them." 4 "If we are to be the land of the free," he said, "we must be the home of the brave." AUTO DEALER JAILED , Munich, Germany -(CPD-Heinrich Mueller, an auto dealer, was sentenced to four years imprisonment Friday for illegally transporting cars to South America and selling them there for big profits. Police first learned of Muel ler's activities when he failed to keep up payments to a German company where he bought the new cars.'

Y.-(UPD-Mrs. Martha Barton Hall, 72, for mer president of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Associa tion, died here Wednesday. Kennedys Greeted At Airport Here By Officials, Pioneers and Cavemen Sen. and Mrs. John F. Ken nedy and their party arrived at Medford airport on a char tered United Air Lines Con vair at 5:40 p.m. Friday after noon. The 41-year-old senator, who is considered one of the lead ing possible candidates for the Democratic nomination for president next year, arrived here from Salt ' Lake City where he had met with Dem ocratic groups and visited the Morman tabernacle and Utah legislature. . A delegation of fur-clad Grants Pass Cavemen greeted the tanned senator and his wife as they descended from the plane. Medford Mayor John W. Snider handed Kennedy a key to the city and Mrs. Snider gave Mrs. Kennedy a bouquet of roses. The Kennedys were then escorted to a Centennial covered wagon, where Miss Pat Rushton, Miss Jackson county, gave them "Pledge of the '59ers" pins on behalf of the county's Centennial as sociation. Pioneer Costume A number of men and wom en were dressed in pioneer costmues for the occasion, while a welcoming committee appeared in top hats. The Kennedys then were taken to the studio of KBES--TV, where they were inter viewed. A police escort then conducted them to McLough lin Junior High school, where the annual Franklin D. Roose- velt dinner was held. ' The speaker's table at the dinner included many prom inent Democratic figures. Among them were President of the State Senate Walter Pearson. Speaker of the House Robert Duncan, Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton, Dem ocratic State Chairman Dave Epps, Jackson County Dem ocratic Chairman Frank Chris tian, and several other legisla tors. Former Governor Rob ert Holmes served as master of ceremonies. Also at this table were May or and Mrs. Snider and the Rev. and Mrs. George Bolster of the Episcopal church. Mr. Bolster delivered the invoca tion. ' Populaires Sing Musical activities began early with the audience sing ing "Kennedy," a song com posed by John Lusk with lyrics by Mrs! Edward Kelly, co-chairman of the event. Lat er, the red-clad Popularies from Southern Oregon colege, directed by Louis O. Clayson, sang. The lights were dimmed while Lenore Zapell recited "We Remember, F.D.R." Governor Holmes read mes sages from former dinner speakers and other nationally known Democrats. He read a letter from Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in which she stated, "You are fortunate in having Senator Kennedy." She ex tended the senator "my good wishes." Gordon Hudson presented the Kennedys with a lazy susan made of myrtlewood, which, he said, is "only found in Southern Oregon and the Holy Land." (Hudson was advised later the the Oregon myrtle tree actually is a variety of laurel which grows in Oregon and California. The Holy Land myrtle is an entirely different species. Where the old story quoted by Hudson originated is a mystery, but it keeps bob-, bing up no matter ho many times corrected by botanists.) Kennedy delivered his speech at a rapid pace, paus ing only twice for applause. A question and answer period followed. A reception was held in the basement of the Medford ho tel after the dinner. Answers Questions Saturday morning, Kennedy met newsmen and answered questions on subjects ranging from automobile insurance to the missile gap. Next, for half an hour he talked with Robert Boyer, former state Democratic chair man, Robert Shaw, secretary of Teamsters Local 962, and representatives of other union locals. ( The Kennedys then visited Circuit Judge and Mrs. Ed ward C. Kelly and a few guests until time to leave for the airport. The party stopped enroute Bearded Youth . To Face Board Portland (UPD - Gary San ders, 16,. who has a beard,! plans to" appear before the Portland school board Mon-j day night to try to keep it. School officials have sug gested, that the wisest course would be for him to shave it off. Gary is a junior at Franklin high school. Students in each school earlier were given a month to grow beards because of the Centennial. But at the end of that time school offi cials wanted all the beards to come off. 1 Gary got notice to shave be fore returning to class. His parents plan to accompany him to the board meeting.
