Submit Alliance
Plan To Kennedy
London -IUPD- Prime Minis
ter Harold Macmillan will
submit to President Kennedy
a broad plan for an Allied
economic defense alliance to
meet the challenge from the
Soviet Union, it was learned
today.
Macmillan will hold his
first talks with Kennedy in
Washington starting April 5.
A high diplomatic authority
said the key to the British
plan - designed at countering
the increasingly serious: eco
nomic challenge frbW Russia-
is economic "inter - depend-.
ence" among the Western Al
lies. Joint Efforts
The scheme does not en
visage a pooling of resources
but rather joint efforts to ex
ploit new economic fields, con
sultations on economic prob
lems and a closer exchange
of information.
Behind Macmillan's plan
lies the growing uneasiness of
British policy makers over the
threat to Allied strength
caused by lack of joint and
long-range planning.
The British argument is
that the cold war will be
fought in the coming years
chiefly on the economic front
and that the outcome will de
termine the world's balance
of power in the future.
Soviet Scientists
Clash Over Shot
Moscow - (UPII - Two Soviet
scientists clashed today over
the question of whether Rus
sia's newest space triumph of
reluming a dog safely from
a space flight has removed a
key obstacle from man mak
ing a similar trip soon.
The exchange by the two
scientists indicated that Rus
sian scientists, pressing to get
a Russian into space before
the United States, are not
unanimous in how close they
actually are to this feat.
The scientists were quoted
by the official Soviet news
agency Tass after Thursday's
launch and return of the five-
ton spaceship with its cargo,
Blackie, the dog.
Dag Aide To Demand
Belgium Quit Congo
United Nations, N. Y. OTD Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold announced today he was sending a special
representative to Brussels next week to demand that Bel
gium speed up its withdrawal of military personnel from
the Congo.
A Security Council resolution Feb. 21 called for the
Immediate withdrawal of three types of Belgians still in
the Congo: Officers helping lead the armies of President
Joseph Kasavutau. Para-military personnel (military advisers)
and former Belgian soldiers, now civilians, who have become
mercenaries serving in the armies of Katanga President
Moisc Tshombe.
Hammarskjold announced that Tunisian Ambassador
Taieb Sabani. who represented his country on the Congo
Conciliation Commission, would leave for Brussels early
nct week to "speed compliance with the Security Council
resolution." He will be accompanied by another Tunisian,
Mahmoud Mestirit.
Meanwhile, closer cooperation between United Nations
officials and Congolese authorities eased tensions and les
sened the threat of an all-out conflict In the strife-torn re-
niihlir
Western observers said one of the reasons for the easing
of tensions was the disclosure that Hammarskjold's personal
representative in the Congo Rajeshwar Dayal was re -
turning to New York In connection with the forthcoming
lTN debate on the Congo.

Public Instruction
Bil inibeyance
Salem (UPD The House
State and Federal Affairs
Committee today all but
tabled Gov. Mark Hatfield's
reorganization plan that
would allow him to appoint
the state superintendent of
public instruction.
The committee decided to
hold Hatfield's bill, HB1328,
in abeyance and polish up
HB1068 which allows the
State Board of Education to
make the appointment.
Hatfield's bill would take
the state schools for the blind
and deaf away from the Board
of Control. The committee
frowned on this. HB1068, an
interim committee bill, was
turned over to a subcommit
tee to study the question of
whether the board, under the
constitution, has the power to
appoint the superintendent.

Land company, Medford.
Construction of the physi
cians office building is ex
pected to start within 90 days,
and "will be completed in
about seven months. It is be
ing financed, built and pro
moted by Southern Develop
ment company.
Robert Mclntyre said the
company, in recent years, has
been planning for a complete,
well-integrated medical cen-
ter for Medford, and that the
physicians office building will
be the first unit in the over
all plan.' 1
Second Unit
The second unit, he said,
will be a convalescent hospi
tal, plans for which are be
ing prepared. The convales
cent hospital will have 50
beds, and will cost about
$500,000, he said.
The physicians office build
ing will be a modern struc
ture based on a new concept
for office buildings, Mclntyre
said. An interior garden court
with ornamental fish pond
and landscaping of flowers
and shrubs is one of the fea
tures of the floor plan.
Twelve doctors' suites will
be included, all of which will
be served by modern medical
laboratories. Sufficient park
ing is planned in a secluded
area behind the building.
Mclntyre said the decision
to create a medical center at
this time was based on sev
eral factors.
. They include the steady and
continued growth of the val
ley, the adjacent Rogue Val
ley hospital and the new wing
now under construction, the
completion of the Rogue Val
ley Manor nearby, a belief
that there is an increasing
need for physicians' offices
near the hospital for the con
venience of the physician, and
the fact that Medford is be
coming a medical center for
southern Oregon and north
ern California.

Jobless Total in
Oregon Highest
Since March 1958
70,500 Said Out of
Work in February
By United Press International
The number of persons out
of jobs in Oregon last month
was the highest since March
of 1958 but there were hope
ful signs regarding the state's
economy and the key lumber
industry today.
Employment Commissioner
David Cameron said the num
ber of persons out of work
last month was 70,500 and
that employment dropped by
1,900 in the month through
Feb. 15.
Jobs Fewer
Total jobs were 631,100,
some 10,700 fewer than in
February of last year.
In McMinnville, the Yam
hill Plywood Co. announced
it was reopening its mill. It
was shut down several
months ago because of poor
market conditions. About 40
men are involved. Indication
of an upswing in the plywood
market was given as reason
for the reopening.
frnw'c T.nmhor TVt g rlrn 1
News Service reported the
green fir market strengthened
"considerably" this week with
a price increase of $2 to S3 on
standard and better and $4 to
$6 on utility. Most sanded ply
wood stock remained at $60
but with some attempting a
move to $64.
Sen. Maurine Neuberger
(D-Ore.) said President Ken
nedy's housing message im
proved prospects for the lum
ber industry in emphasizing
necessity for accelerating the
housing for low and moderate
income families.
Home Rule Group
Hears Publishers
Two valley newspaper pub
Ushers, Maxwell Thayer,
Rogue River Times, and Edd
Rountree, Ashland Tidings,
analyzed the county govern
ment and possible benefits nf
home rule last night before
the Jackson county home rule
study committee.
Both favored home rule,
but disagreed as to the type
of government which should
be established under It.
"General public apathy and
lack of a set of rules for
county government has cost
the people untold millions,"
Thayer remarked.
Both Thayer and Rountree
would have a five-man board
of supervisors. Thayer would
have the supervisors elected
from wards, Rountree would
have them elected at large.
Rountree enthusiastically ap
proved a county administra
tor while the Rogue River
Times editor strongly opposed
a county manager. Both pub
lishers thought an adminis
trative officer hired by the
board of supervisors and di
rectly responsible to them
would work best.
The Tidings' editor would
have all department heads ap
pointed. Thayer would have
them elected with definite
qualifications for each office
established.
Both Rountree and Thayer
agreed that a home rule char
ter would not eliminate the
general faults In a democrat
ic government.

Thursday In setting up an in

Dr. Carl L. Holm, board

tion levels in the adult popu

ously low and that it was be-
cause of "ignorance and
apathy."
Dr. B. Brandt Bartels, Med

Net Receipts Tax
Bill Returned To
House Committee
Chamber Turns
Proposal Down
Salem -0IPIV- A net receipts
tax bill designed to cut state
income taxes by 10 per cent
came alive today in the Ore
gon House after the chamber
voted it down late Thursday.
The vote to send HB1001
back to the House Tax Com
mittee was 42-13.
Thursday the measure failed
hy a close vote of 30-27 in the
first afternoon meeting of the
House tills session.
Some Amending Seen
Rep. Richard Eymann,
chairman of the tax commit
tee, indicated that the com
mittee will do some amending.
Thursday's action that
killed its companion - HB1002
- also was rescinded and the
House voted 33-22 to send it
back to committee. HB1002
would require businessmen
and self-employed profession
als to file quarterly tax re
turns and pay estimated taxes
rather than wail until the end
of the year.
Would Streamline Tax
HB1001 would sweep out
Oregon's present income tax,
replacing it with a sort of
"super tax," streamlined and
comparatively simple to ad
minister. Opponents charged that it
is peppered with inequities.
Doubts were expressed that it
would actually cut taxes.
Biq Sore Point
The bill would eliminate
most deductions and exemp
tions and this was a big sore
point. Another complaint was
that it would bring a number
of low income people Into the
tax fold for the first time
despite assurances by support
ers that they would not suffer,
Opposition votes were Bi
partisan and unorganized. Ey
mann said for this reason he
believes the bill can pass If
the committee puts back the
deduction for contributions to
charity.

Bill Said Shaped
To Meet Modern
Business Matters
Salem - (UPD - The Oregon
House today unanimously
passed a comprehensive com
merce code designed to bring
about what Rep. Edward
Fadeley called "the modern
ization of Model T laws" that
now govern businesses in Ore
gon. The Eugene Democrat who
carried the bill, said the uni
form code was shaped to meet
modern-day business problems
and situations and would
"assist the flow of commerca
in the state.
Wide Coverage
The measure covers every
thing from business proce
dures to contracts and liens. It
is the product of nationwida
studies, and has been closely
reviewed by the House Judi
ciary Committee over the past
two months.
Several amendments pro
posed by businessmen wera
made.
If passed by the Senate and
signed by the governor, the
measure would become effec
tive in 1963.
Driver Bill Offered
A compromise driver aga
bill which would give permits
to drivers 16 to 18 only if they
had completed a certified driv
er training course was in
troduced in the House.
Chief sponsors are Rep.
Philip Lang and Sen. Williain
Grenfell, both Portland Demo
crats. The measure was known
to have considerable support
that included House Speaker
Robert Duncan of Medford.
The measure actually would
encourage driver training by
permitting licenses for 16-
year-olds who had successfully
completed a course.
Chief Objection
Failure to include this pro
vision was one of the chief
objections to an earlier bill by
Kep. Ken Maher (R-Portland)
who proposed to raise the ago
to 18 for all youngsters. Man
or said his bill was aimed not
only at Improving the driving
situation but also at removing
temptations of automobiles for
teen-agers.
The Lang bill also would
prohibit all youngsters under
18 from driving at al Ibetween
11 p.m. and sunrise week days
and 1 a.m. to sunrise week
ends. s .
