HSJA Reveals fieports on American Prestige Rogue Valley Edition MEDFORDf MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1981 Senator Demands To Know if Deal ade for Washinglon-WPD-A leading Republican senator has de manded to know whether there was "any deal" between President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev on release of the two U.S. RB47 fliers. Sen. Styles Bridges (N.H.) chairman of the Senate GOP Policy Committee, said Thurs day Kennedy should give a full accounting of negotiations that led up to release of Capts. Freeman Bruce Olmstead and John R. McKone after seven months in Soviet captivity. Bridges said in a Senate speech that Kennedy. ' didn't make it clear whether there was anything offered Russia or promised in return." He said "the secrecy should be torn off." In a statement later, Bridges described the Soviet action as "a typical Commu nist propaganda maneuver" and said "all the world knows the Soviet always tries to ex tract an exorbitant price." The GOP senator asked Kennedy these questions: I Were there any conces sions to the Russians, and if so, what? Was there any connection between Kennedy's announce ment that U2 flights over Rus ria would remain banned and release of the fliers? Does the manner of the fliers' release presage a new era of "secret diplomacy?" Does the administration plan to 'continue efforts to clear up the mystery of what happened to 11 U.S. airmen whose plane was shot down over Soviet Armenia in 1948? Bridges and other members of Congress rejoiced at the re lease of Olmstead and Mc Kone, but they emphasized that Americans should not for get that the Russians ruthless ly shot down the plane in the first place. Hatfield Reiterates Charges Against Welfare Board Salem-IUPII-Gov. Mark Hatfield today reiterated his charge that the Oregon Welfare Commission is not doing Us job, and urged "all citizens who have knowledge of welfare abuses" to contact their legislators, the House speaker or the Senate president. He said his efforts over the past several years to prod the commission into clamping down on welfare abuses have been largely Ignored. ,'T believe the legislature is the only place corrections can be achieved in view of the present administrative chaos and the shackles on the governor." It was the second major slap at the commission from the governor this week. On Monday he said he wished four members of the commission who were appointed before he took office would quit. They refused. Hatfield said his experience with the commission "has been one of frustration at the lack of vigor, Imagination and constructive action." The governor charged the commission has not only re jected his suggestions but those of the legislature Itself. 500 GALLONS HY-TEST 303 PREMIUM HEATING OIL WITH EACH OIL FURNACE INSTALLATION ACT NOW!

In addressing the board at its meeting Jan. 24, W. M vanOver, county welfare di rector, said the veterans hous ing units do not appear to be adequate for a housing proj ect. He indicated he would find out how many persons receiving public assistance would be affected by condem nation proceedings against about 40 buildings in Yreka He said it may be more econo mical to pay the indigents' rent than to maintain a hous ing project. Cost $7,000 It would cost about $7,000 a year to maintain the veter ans housing units, vanOver pointed out. This figure is higher than that which the county presently is paying for rent for county Indigents. The supervisors agreed to lake no formal action on the matter until they toured the housing project. In other action the board was told it can decide on a proposal to annex more area Into the Mt. Shasta fire protec tion district at a special meet ing Feb. 1. L. D. Taylor, coun ty assessor, explained the pro posal.'' - Taylor said that by getting the annexed area Into the dist rict by Feb. 1, the area can be used as a tax base to support any district operations.

Information Agency, on or ders' from President Kennedy, today made public two reports on U.S. prestige abroad which figured prominently in last fall's presidential campaign. One report was dated June, 1980, and based on opinion polls taken in Great Britain and France just after the col lapse of the Pans summit meeting in May. It said the "standing" of the United States in Great Britain was at a "record low." The other report, dated Oct. 10, 1960, said "public opinion in most parts of the Free World believes that the Soviet Union is ahead of the United States in space achievements." The USIA said the White House is. still considering whether to make public a third report, dated August 29, 1960, which also figured in the campaign. Secrecy Stamps Removed USIA refused to make pub lic the reports during the cam paign. Copies handed to re porters today had knicks at the top where secrecy classi fication stamps had been snip ped out with scissors. The June report was based on polls among 1,150 persons in Britain between May 21 and 24, and 1,000 persons in France between May 23 and 31. The summit meeting col lapsed May 16. The June report made these points: -Both the United States and Russia "suffered major losses in general standing" in Bri tain and France right after the summit collapse. The word "prestige" was not used. -Russia was blamed most for the summit collapse, but "a majority blamed both sides at least in part." The U2 inci dent figured in criticism of the United States. British Most Concerned -"U.S. losses appear to be much more extensive among the British than among the French" and in terms of "will ingness to side with the U.S. in the cold war," "America's standing in Great Britain is at a record low." -President Eisenhower lost stature in the wake of the summit collapse but remained ahead of Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev in public esteem. -"Particularly in Great Bri tain, current confidence is low in America's capacity for lead ership in dealing with pres ent world problems." -"U.S. credibility ... ap pears to have dropped mark edly in Great Britain."
