(UPI Telephoto) State Must Assume Cost of Education Centers; Medicare Plan Said Lacking Salem (UPD The state of Oregon must shoulder the ur gent job of providing post high school educational cen ters and community colleges for thousands of Oregon stu dents the present higher edu cation system won't be able to squeeze in. This was the message pre sented overwhelmingly to the Senate Education Committee Thursday at a i two-hour hearing. The testimony came on sev eral bills calling for the state to pump some $3 million into No Economic Rise in Sight - , Washington - (UPD - Fresh evidence suggested today that the business recession is touch ing bottom but gave no clue to the chances for a new up-A ward surge. Government agencies re ported Thursday the six-month decline in industrial produc tion halted in February and housing starts rose for the second month In a row. Economists cautioned, how ever, that the end of a slump, if it is at hand, does not neces sarily mean the beginning of a new rise. They said business could continue to operate at present levels, which the White House estimates are 10 per cent below the, economy s capacity. The latest word on how business is doing came from the Federal Reserve Board and the Commerce Depart ment. The board said Industri al activity held steady In Feb ruary, the first month in sev en with no decline. The Commerce Department said housing starts rose 7 per cent in February, the second monthly increase in a row. It lifted the starts to a rate of 1,154,000 a year.

Envisioned in the overall plan, Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction Leon Mlnear said, are eventual two-year colleges in Central Oregon, Coos county, Clatsop county, Eugene, Medford, Pendleton, Portland, Salem, Clackamas county, and .other spots that need them. Opinions Differ The bills, and the witnesses, differed on whether localities should chip in some money, on whether the state or local boards should run the schools, and on the degree to which the schools should provide lib eral arts courses, vocational and technical training, and adult classes. The most provocative testi mony in favor of state finan cial support came from Cen tral Oregon, where witnesses said the state's only operating community college at Bend is struggling to exist under the present local finance plan. "Central Oregon Commu nity College is going to die," said Owen Panner of Bend, in spite of a growing rcgislra- Stocks Moye Ahead With Heavy Volume American Aid To Laos Keeps Pace Vientiane, Laos-IUPII-Amerl-can aid to the Royal Laotian Army has been keeping pace with Increasing Soviet ship ments to the Communist Pa thot Lao guerrillas, military observers here said today. Although no official figures have been made public on just how much aid the United States has poured into this jungle kingdom during the present crisis, the observers said the amount is equal to or more than the supplies the Russians have brought in by planes and trucks from North Vict Nam. The supply of arms, ammu nition, clothing, rice, gasoline and other items has stepped up considerably In the past few weeks-partlcularly In the face of increased rebel ac tivity. Reports received here Indi cated that the build-up in the Communist-held Plain of Jars Is continuing at a rapid pace with tho Russians maintaining air and land supply routes. SO WISE B w VLvS) so wise l to prepare.,. yes -even in ST advance tion, unless the state takes over. 100 Per Cent Financing The only answer, said the college's president, Don P. Pence, Is 100 per cent state financing to avoid unberable property tax burdens and equalize post-high school edu cation costs - on a state-wide basis. Leaving it to the local areas, said Rep. Kessler Can non (R-Bend), can bring only "divided responsibility, wav ering support, different stand ards ... a hodgepodge." Meanwhile, the nation's big gest insurer of individuals over 65 said Thursday night it couldn't begin to provide benefits'! under Gov. Mark Hatfield's proposed $13 mil lion medicare plan. Bulk of the medical care for the aged program would be underwritten by private insurance firms. Schedule Studied E. J. Coffey, general agent in Portland for Mutual of Omaha, said his company stu died the schedule of services to be offered and the state al lowance of $8.73 per person. Coffee said a minimum of $14.85 per person would be more like it. Rep. Ed. Bene dict (D-Portland) said this Could mean a program of at least $20 million for the next two years, $7 mililon more than Hatfield recommends. General theme of the testi mony heard by the House Public Health and Welfare Committee on HB1562,- the governor's plan, was: The plan is good but it doesn't go far enough. New York - IUPII -Stocks moved ahead sharply on heavy volume this morning to continue Thursday's advance which was spurred by good business news.

It said the yearly rale at which Americans receive in come of all kinds dipped by $700 million to $405.9 billion. This was considered a small decline for one month even though it was the fourth con secutive monthly dip. Although tho report was not classed as encouraging by economists, it did not contra dict other new business sta tistics which suggested t h e recession may have reached bottom. hafiei ' JloituaiAf Aom trm K Cowlfcowi.

The White House said an administration review of the program, which has been in effect since 1948, ' has dis closed that it "serves no use ful intelligence function at the present time." In addition, the White House said that Secretary of State Dean Rusk has been concerned about the program No Opposition To Megler Bridge Salem - IUPII - The House Highways Committee heard no opposition Thursday to a bill authorizing the $22 mil lion Astoria -Megler bridge over the Columbia river and adopted amendments meshing it with a Washington state bill. The bill provides that Wash ington will pay 34.4 per cent of total costs of the bridge and Oregon 65.6 per cent. This was a compromise. Washington orignally de manded 75-25, with Oregon paying the 75 per cent, and Oregon originally demanded 50-50. The committee voted unan imously to send HB1457 out and have necessary amend ments engrossed Into it with the proviso that the bill then be returned to committee. This rescinded an earlier vote of 7-2 to send the bill to the House floor for action next week. Senate Approves Jobless Pay Bill Washington - (UP!) - The Sen ate Thursday night passed President Kennedy's No. 1 anti-recession program to pay jobless workers $1 billion in extra unemployment benefits. The bill was approved by an 84-4 roll call vote shortly before midnight. Only two Democrats and two Republi cans voted against it. The measure now goes to a Senate-House conference commit tee to work out a compromise willi a similar House-passed bill. Just before Senate passage, the lawmakers added two pro visions that threatened Ken nedy's hopes of paying out the first additional benefits by April 1. The jobless pay bill would provide up to 13 extra weeks of benefits to unemployed workers who have exhausted their state payments. This means some workers could re ceive as much as 39 weeks of unemployment benefits. The program would be fi nanced by higher taxes on employers. SHOULD HAVE WAITED Lafayette, Ind.

Kennedy issued his order after consulting with Rusk, Postmaster General J. Ed ward Day, Treasury Secre tary C. Douglas Dillon and Atty. Gen. Robert F. Ken nedy. Since 1948, the White House said, the Bureau of Customs and the Post Office Department has exercised "varying degrees of control . . . concerning the importa tion of Communist political propaganda." "Since 1951 the program has been extended to a spot eheck or censorship of all mail, except first class mail," the White House said. The announcement said the program's intelligence value had been "found to be of no usefulness" as a result of a re view by the State, Post Of fice, Treasury and Justice de partments. The Post Office Department has estimated that it has seized 15 million newspapers, magazines, books and similar types of mail coming into this country from Communist dominated nations. Prior to 1958 the addressees were not told that the mail was being withheld. Since then they have been notified and told that while the ma terial was "ordinarily treated as nonmailable" it could be delivered if it had been ordered by the addressee. The program aroused a protest recently from Soviet newsmen in this country who complained of delays in re ceiving their publications. It also has aroused corn complaints from American addressees, including scholar ly institutions, which have use for the Iron Curtain publications.
