Upturn in Nation's Economy Seen
Unlikely Until After Midyear
Washington IUPII Presi
dent Kennedy's Council of
Economic Advisers told Con
gress today the prospect of an
economic upturn does not ap
pear likely "until after mid
year.
Council Chairman Walter
W. Heller, appearing before
the Joint Economic commit
tee, warned that the nation
faces "a stubborn problem of
chronic slack, and the road to
full recovery is a long one."
He called for lower interest
rates on housing mortgages.
Heller said the government
"should not shrink from
launching needed projects be
cause of misplaced fears of
bad timing."
He said that if at the end
of this year the unemploy
ment ratio is still near 7 per
cent, "our fiscal policies
would have lo be viewed with
great concern."
If a lajer new reading of
the economic-fiscal . situation
indicates additional measures
are needed, he said, a tempo
rary income tax cut "offers
one of the most important
methods for fufther economic
stimulus."

Amendments to
Clackamas River
Measure Offered
Salem - (UPB - Portland Gen
eral Electric Co. offered ex
tensive amendments today to
a bill that would control ad
verse fluctuations in the level
of the Clackamas river.
The changes were present
ed to the Senate Commerce
and Utilities committee by
Waldemar Seaton, a PGE vice
president.
Sen. Richard Groener (D-
Milwaukie) said the amend
ments would weaken the bill,
SB220. He introduced the or
iginal measure and is a mem
ber of the committee.
The rewrite was so exten
sive the committee voted to
have the separate bill pre
pared. Both versions will be
considered next Monday.
Drownings Cited
, Groener said his bill Is an
outgrowth of two drownings
and "many narrow escapes"
of boaters and swimmers on
the Clackamas river.
He said two PGE projects
on the Clackamas river mill
and North Fork dams, cause
a sudden rise in the river by
as much as one or two feet
at peak power operations and
this is a hazard to the public.
His bill would empower the
state engineer to regulate the
flow of water by a closer de
gree. Groener said the new law
would apply lo all power com
panies in Oregon but only one
other than PGE would be af
fected. This, he said, is Cali
fornia Oregon Power Co. be
cause of fluctuations on the
Klamath river. COPCO Is
merging with Pacific Power
and Light Co.

position in Congress over his
refusal to. include assistance
for parochial schools in his

Foreign Car Sales
Expected To Drop
Washington - IUPII - The
top executive ot Chrysler
Corp. predicted today that
American compact cars would
help chop off 100,000 foreign
imports from the U. S. market
for the second consecutive
year.
Lister L. Colbert, president
and board chairman of Chrys
ler, said he expected foreign
car sales in the United States
lo drop from 500,000 last year
lo 400,000 this year. He said
import sales reached 600,000
in 1359.
In a copyrighted interview
in U. S. News & World Re
port magazine, Colbert said,
"These fads show that the
best way to handle the for
eign car situation is to com
pete with it," rather than to
impose higher tariff barriers.
GOP Control of
House Predicted

man of the GOP Congression
al Campaign committee pre
dicted today that the Repub
licans would regain control of

pects. Miller said the GOP was
"stronger and better organ
ized" than it was in the 19B0
presidential election.
Miller said the outcome
t!H12 might determine the ef
fectiveness ot the OOP's prcsi
dentin! campaign in 1064.

New OSC Name
To Be Third in
93-Y-ar History
Salom-IUPI) - When Oregon
State College becomes Oregon
State University, probably in
July, it will be the third
change of name for the 93-year-old
institution.
The school was establii.ied
by legislative act on Oct. 27,
1868, as "The Agricultural
College of the State of Ore
gon."
Informally, that cumber
some name soon was changed
by popular usage to Oregon
Agricultural College or Ore
gon State Agricultural Col
lege, and in the mid-1980s
common usage dropped the
word "agricultural" altogeth
er. Changed in 1953
The name was not officially
changed to Oregon State Col
lege, however, until 1953.
At a bill-signing ceremony
today lo make the college a
university, Dr. A. L. Strand,
president of the institution,
said the changes of name re
flected the growth and ex
pansion of the school.
"It is a matter," he said,
"of expressing in the name
what we already are and have
been for a long time, as recog
nized by the Association of
American Universities."

The seven F100 jets landed

man said they were refueled

a Catholic, already is at log
gerheads with the leaders of
his church on the issue. The
U.S. Catholic hierarchy has
said it will fight to have par
ochial schools included.
Says Issure Clear
The President told his news
conference last week that
parochial schools could not be
included in the $5.6 billion
program because "it is pro
hibited by the Constitution
and the Supreme Court has
made that very clear."
But McCormack said there
was no constitutional bar to
the federal government "mak
ing long-term loans at reason
able rates of interest for the
construction or the renovation
or the repair of private
schools.
"I would clearly and def
initely say that the provision
of that kind is justified and
I would support it," McCor
mack said.
Supports President
Kennedy's stand was sup
ported Sunday by Chairman
Adam Clayton Powell (D
N.Y.), of the House Labor and
Education committee which
will handle the bill.
Powell, a minister of the
Abyssinian Baptist Church,
said such legislation also
would make money available
to southern school districts
which have closed down pub
lic schools and are trying to
operate private systems.
Sen. Harrison A. Williams
Jr. (D-N.J.), forecast that the
school measure would touch
off one of the hottest fights
of the sesson. But he said he
believed it would get through
the Senate.
Heller testified, reading
56-page statement laced with
charts and tables, that the
principal prospects for early
expansion of demand lie in a
continued upward trend in
government purchases and in
increased consumer spending
aided by government pro
grams. He said that the "prospects
of reversal of the recession"
in the first two quarters of
this year depend on modest
Increases in demand other
than inventory shifts.
According to Heller, "a
quickening of the pace of re
covery following a reversal of
the inventory-cycle mechan
ism does not appear likely un
til after mid-year."
The statement he read was
that of the full council, whose
other members were Kermit
Gordon and James Tobin.
On the state of the econ
omy Heller had this to say:
"In spite of great inherent
strength, the American econ
omy today Is beset not only
with a recession of nearly 10
months duration, but with
persistent slack in production
and employment, a slowdown
in our rate of growth, and
pressure on our international
balance of payments."
Heller stressed that rever
sal of the recession is "only
the beginning, not the end, of
the task of restoring momen
tum to the American economy."

Senate Gets Bill
To Abolish Bounty
Salcm-IUPI)-If you want to
collect a bounty for killing j
a cougar, wolf, wildcat, bob
cat or lynx, you had better
start shooting.
The Oregon House has ap
proved and sent to the Senate
a bill repealing state bounties
on these predators.
Under present law you can
collect from the State Game
commission a $50 bounty for
shooting a cougar, or $30 for
shooting a wolf.
Wildcats, bobcats and lynxes
bring a mere $2.50 apiece al
though the state won't pay un
less the county throws in the
same amount so the going
rate for these three critters
is $5 a head.
The -commission wants the
law repealed so it can use the
money to replace bounty hunt
ers with professional hunters.
