    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.

radiation laboratory at Liver

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. Boyd
Overhulse filed the first two
claims shortly after the legis
lature approved a resolution
calling for up to $75 monthly
in expense reimbursements
during the session and $150
monthly in the interim.

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.

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.
