Compromise on Aid To Distressed Areas Eyed
mi iiiijii;iwiwy 1
Washington (UPI) Chairman
Douglas three times has
sponsored legislation to pro
vide federal help for areas
troubled with high and con
tinued unemployment One
bill died in the House Rules
committee in 1956. Two others
were vetoed by President Ei
senhower, one in 1958 and the
latest in May.
Eisenhower last week urged
Congress to enact the admin
istration's proposal, which
would channel $180 million
into stricken areas.
Douglas and McNamara
presidential nominee John F.
Wednesday beat down two at
same tactic today, the House
would have to meet Wednes
day. Labor: Sen. Harry F. Byrd,
(D-Va.) attacked the Democra
tic platform pledge to repeal
the Taft-Hartley provision per
mitting states to enact "right-to-work"
laws. Byrd said in
a prepared Senate speech the
pledge would run counter to
"individual liberty and states'
rights." Twenty states now
have laws outlawing the union
shop and similar contracts.
Paul H. Douglas, (D-Ill.) called
contend the President's bill
was unrealistic and would be
of no real help.
Douglas' own measure called
for $250 million in federal
grants and loans. But he said
he would "negotiate" if the
administration would approve
an "effective" measure and
help line up Republican votes
in Congress to guarantee its
passage.
Minimum Wage: Democratic
Other congressional news:
$1.25 minimum wage bill to
Senate passage by nightfall.!
But the heated election-year
squabble could run over until
Friday. There were reports
that even supporters o.' Ken
nedy's proposal to hike the
wage floor from $1 to $1.25 an
hour favored making some
concessions to get the bill past
strong opposition from Repub
licans and Southern Demo
crats. . The Kennedy forces
tempts to trim the bill.
House: Democratic leaders
hoped to adjourn the House
until Monday before Rep.
H. R. Gross, (R-Iowa) could
continue his one-man battle
to get the chamber to start
work. Gross forced the house
to quit immediately after the
opening prayer Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday because a
majority of members were
not present. If he used the
a meting of his Senate bank
ing subcommittee today in an
effort to work out acorn pro
mise plan of federal aid to
distressed areas.
Commerce Secretary Fred
erick H. Mueller and Sen. Pat
McNamara, (D-Mich.), were
scheduled to testify. The aim
of the session, Douglas said,
was to "explore with the ad
ministration the points of dis
agreements.

Dominican Republic
Punishment Expected
Latin American
Nations Indicate
Vote Readiness
San Jose, Costa Rica - (UPI) -Latin
American nations indi
cated today they were ready
to vote overwhelmingly to
punish the Dominican Repub
lic for intervening in the in
ternal affairs of Venezuela.
A large majority of the
delegations from the 21 Amer
ican republics present at the
sixth Consultative Assembly
of Foreign Ministers express
ed willingness to apply col
lective sanctions against the
Dominicans as an aggressor
nation.
U.S. May Agree
In the face of mounting
Latin American support for
the Venezuelan demand for
political and economic sanc
tions against the Dominicans,
short only of armed force, the
United States was expected to
agree to collective severance
of diDlomatlc relations.
Secretary of State Christian
A. Hcrter prepared to express
U.S. views on the controversy
at today's session of the con
ference.
Venezuela's Ignacio L. Ar
eaya formally charged Wed
nesday night that the Domini
cans were implicated in a mis
directed leaflet raid early this
year, in April's abortive re
volt in Venezuela and in the
June attempt to assassinate
President Romulo Betancourt.
Used A 'Scapegoat'
The Dominican Republic's
Porfirio Herrcra Bacz denied
the charges, saying Venezuela
was using his country as a
"foreign scapegoat" to distract
attention from its own "deep-
sealed political and social
problems."
Argentine's Diogenes Tabo
ada, Mexico's Manuel Tello
and Honduras' Andres Al
vnrado Puerto sided with
Venezuela in the debate.
Their endorsement of Ar
caya's charges was taken as a
sign that their governments
would support the Venezuelan
demand for the imposition of
every diplomatic and eco
nomic sanction short of armed
attack on the Dominican Republic.
Burton Act
Participation OK'd
Portland - (UPI) - The Stute
Board of Health Wednesday
voted approval for Oregon's
participation in the 1861 Hill
Burton Hospital Act after dis
cussion on a proposed revision
that would grant the federal
funds to only a single facility
in a community.
The revision was recom
mended by the Advisory
Council on Hospital and Med
ical Facility Survey and Con
struction. Those opposed to
the revision said it might be
possible that a community
could wind up with a hospital
providing poor service and a
staff closed to some commun
ity physicians.
The revision was approved
after it was rewritten to per
mit exceptions to be granted
by the board if evidence from
the particular community
showed the exceptions were
necessary.
Hospital projects totaling
over $50 million have already
been built in Oregon with aid
of Hill-Burton money.

Powers Declares
Pistol Taken (or
Strictly Hunting
(Continued from Page 1)
Powers had been advised
he could question the state
ment of witnessas, and he
stood in his prisoner's box to
speak.
"Unfortunately, nobody but
myself knows that I could not
kill a person-even to save my
own life," he said in a low
voice.
The pistol was given to
me and I took it strictly for
hunting."
Prosecutor Roman A. Ru
denko, 53, a veteran of the
Nuernberg war crimes trials
stared at Powers.
"You are aware," he In
quired, "that at 68,000 feet
(the altitude at which Powers
says the U2 was flying when
hit) it is difficult to hunt
game?"
"Yes, I understand," Pow-
ers said. "This was to be used
only if I had a forced lnnding
or something."
Family Silt Teniely
During the exchange over
the pistol, Powers' family sat
tensely In their marble box
at the rear of the courtroom.
The mother, Mrs. Ida Pow
ers, came to the afternoon ses
sion after staying in her ho
tel this morning lest she "dis
turb" her son. Mrs. Barbara
Powers watched her husband
through opera glasses.
The pistol was among the
U2 equipment brought from
glass .showcases placed
around the glided courtroom
scene of the bloody 1D30
purge trials and prior to that
the czars' music room.
Voroshllov then introduced
in evidence three incendiary
devices and a round box
which he said contained "py
rotcchnicai substances' poduc
ing orange smoke and a col
ored flame.
Asks For Translation
Powers interrupted again
to ask the Russian translator
to read the directions on the
side of one of the "fire start
ers." The translator picked
up o ne of the devices and
read: "This is for starting
bonfires with damp wood or
substances that will not ig
nite very fast."
It was Powers' apparent in
tention to show that the de
vices were Intended for
peaceful purposes.
