Highlights of Kennedy's Plan Washington-OT-HighlighU of President Kennedy's mes sage to Congress on aid for Latin America Funds: Congress should ap propriate immediately the $600 million it authorized last year for general aid to Latin America and relief for earin quake-damaged Chile. Urgency: Such a program is long overdue. Millions of people throughout Latin America are struggling to free themselves from bonds of pov erty, hunger and ignorance. Choic: Without the aid nroeram. there would be a grave and imminent danger of poverty-stricKen peoples ram ire to communism as their only hope for change. JSL NOMINATED Harold Brown, 33-year-old director of the University of California's radiation laboratory at Liver more, has been nominated by President Kennedy to be director- of research and en gineering for the Defense De partment. (UPI Telephoto) Eugene - (UFD - The State Board of Higher Education Monday heard plans for a humanities building and addi tions to the Student Union Building at the University of Oregon. Type of Aid: The funds will be devoted to social progress because economic growth without social progress would let the majority of the people remain in poverty. Purpose: To overcome the barriers of egographical and social isolation, illiteracy and lack of educational opportu nities, archaic tax and land tenure structures and other obstacles to economic growth. Stli-hclp: No money will be allocated until the recip ient nations give assurances that they will live up to the principles of self-help and do mestic reform. PriTatt Groups: Private or ganizations and U.S. business concerns should redouble their efforts in Latin America and could play an even great er role in the future. Chile: Reconstruction of the earthquake-damaged areas in Chile is severely hampered by the lack of funds and the $100 million authorized by Con gress last year is needed at once. Expense Claim Filed With Appling Salem -IUPD- Rep. Stafford Hansell filed a second expense claim Monday with Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. The action came on the eve of an Oregon Supreme Court hearing in a test case to de termine the constitutionality of legislators' paying them selves for out-of-pocket ex penses in addition to their salaries. The hearing was scheduled this afternoon. Appling said he would hold the second Hansell claim un til the court "provides guid ance." ' Hansell and Sen.

(UPI Telephotp) Conflicting Proposals on Timber Tax Argued Before House Tax Committee Salem-fllPD-The Oregon leg. islature's two chief timber tax architects opened hearings on their conflicting plans here Monday with charges of "she nanigans" by one and warn ings of a $52 million tax shift by the other. Rep. W. O. Kelsay (D-Rose-b u r g) sponsor of HB1438 which incorporation the In dustrial Forestry association compromise for Western Ore gon timber, blamed the In terim Tax committee for with drawing its endorsement of this plan at a December meeting. Policy Seen Violated He said the committee seemed to have violated a leg islative policy calling for in terim committee decisions to be completed prior to general elections in November. Rep. Clarence Barton (D- Coquille) sponsor of HB1464 which calls for a more ex treme change in timber taxa tion, "categorically" denied Kelsay's charges. He said tentative approval of the IF A plan was with drawn after the State Tax commission said that it would raise $52 million less in tim ber taxes, shifting this to oth er real property over a 30 year period. The exchange on the two Western Oregon timber tax plans took place before the House Tax committee, on which both Barton and Kel say sit. Committee Backs Barton The Kelsay plan has heavy sponsorship in the House, but .the Barton bill is backed by most of the tax committee which must pass on both. Myron Katz, tax committee consultant, said both bills in corporate a new factor in Ore gon timber taxation-tax rates that give some advantage to slower timber cutters in an effort to encourage sustained yield operations. The IFA bill would ao mis by reducing taxes slightly for cutters who harvest no more than one-30th of their mature trees a year, and by tripling taxes in the year of harvest. The Barton bill is much more extreme, with a sliding scale of tax rates keyed to each operators' speed of cut ting trees. Under the Barton bill, the slower the cutting, the lower the -rates would be. As an alternative, the Bar ton bill would let operators choose a severance tax, or lump tax on cut trees at the time of harvest. Most Western Oregon tim ber operators, fearful of end ing up without any change in the present flat value tax, have lined up behind the IFA plan. These include the two giants, Georgia-Pacific Corp., considered a fast cutter, and Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., a slower harvester. Other Highlights Education-The House pass ed 51-9, a bil lto let a simple majority of voters in a school district reject reorganization. The Senate Education commit tee announced a I p.m. Thurs day hearing on community colleges and vocational training. Arrest-The House approved a bill to let ponce arrest a driver of an auto on "proba ble cause" even if the officer did not actually witness a violation. Reapportionment A reap portionment plan that makes few changes in legislative makeup was approved by the House Elections committee. Billboards-The Senate High ways committee heard some objections from both sides on two compromise bills for reg ulation of roadside signs. Sex Deviates -The House Welfare committee was urged to take steps to improve re habilitation of sex offenders in Oregon. Expenses -The Oregon Su preme court prepared to hear arguments this afternoon on the constitutionality of a reso lution to let legislators repay themselves for out of pocket expenses. Primary - The House ap proved a bill under which a person may stay out of pri mary election races if he so wishes. It would eliminate m a n d a tory candidacies of those whose names are put on the ballot by others.
