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.

Supervisors Told
Housing Project
Would Be Unwise
Yreka The Siskiyou coun
ty board of supervisors were
advised that entering into an
agreement with the city of
Yreka for development of vet
erans housing units Into a low
rental project for persons re
ceiving public assistance
would be unwise at the pres
ent time.
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.

steel bridge trusses under con
struction fell over during high
winds.
Only two of the 35 persons
In the building at the time of
the accident were hospitalized,

Marvin Larson, 43, manager
of the Western Farmers Asso
ciation. Both are from Port
land. Two other persons were
treated and released and two
more received minor injuries

of the frame building and tore
out the offices in that area.

located on the two top floors.
Both trusses fell flat to the
ground.
Police said one of the truss
es ripped a desk from in front

Kennedy Orders
Papers Figuring
In Election Bared
Washington IUPD The U, S.
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."
