He shrugged off the "call to arms'! against his regime by Cuban exile lead ers in the United States as lit tle more than a waste of time. Warm of Rationing Even while exuding confl '. dence in popular support for his regime, Castro again warn ed that rationing of certain goods would soon be neces ' sary In the "fight to the death" against his foes. ' But he guaranteed that even under a "situation of full attack and economic block- : ade" Cubans would get cloth ing, shoes, food, medicine, ed ucation and recreation. He : boasted that no other country In the Western Hemisphere could make such a guarantee '-"not even the United States . where social discrimination -. maintains a large portion of the population in misery."; Confidant of People Castro made no direct ref erence to the manifesto issued by Jose Miro Cardona, presi dent of the Revolutionary Council, in New York during the week end urging Cubans to overthrow his regime. . -' i, .

The shortage threatens to slim down,' or squeeze away altogether, at least some plans for summer work camps, men tal health clinics, fish hatch eries, classroom television, community colleges, crime prevention, salmon rehabili tation, and electronic vote-tallying. ; i . . Total $86 Million ' These are only a few of the hundreds of bills, totalling $86 million, that have been sent to Ways and Means commit tee for a , look at the price tag. Only a few bills would raise money instead of paying it out. In closing weeks, the screws will turn tighter 'on ways and means to back up favored plans with some sound dollars. The committee must deal with the reality of the state's near ly empty 1961-63 checkbook. Co - chairman Clarence Bar ton (D-Coquille) summed it up this way: "We are planning to find funds for the most im portant projects, but obvious ly we cannot fill some. $80 million in requests with the $5 or $6 million we have to work with." . Small Saving Gained ' Gov. Mark' Hatfield's $359 million budget proposed to spend just about all the mon ey the state plans to get in the next two years. - " ' Ways and Means has taken a close look at Hatfield's plans, chopping out , a dictaphone here and a new position there, but so far only a few hundred thousand dollars in cuts have been made., . This saving was wiped out in a stroke when the legisla ture approved i $900,000 to bring Boeing Airplane Co. to Boardman Industrial Park. Final action still pends on the big budgets - education, $132 million; higher educa tion, $95 million; welfare $96 million - but sub-committees studying these say few if any dollars will be: gleaned for other projects. I A big question mark Is whether the legislature will use $4 million budgeted by Hatfield for medi-care or turn it to other plans, increased revenue estimates have pro vided a few additional mil lions. ' ,: Hatfield himself made al lowance in his budget for some highly lauded projects such as better pay for state employees and college teach ers and a $10 per child in crease in basic school support. Tax Cuts Unlikely ' i Even here, some legislators want more than Hatfield had in mind. Plans for community col leges, salmon restoration, and a surplus food program alone total six million, and Hatfield made no mention of these. Sponsors stt plans ranging from cherry research to vo cational rehabilitation ' and Civil War Centennial are ask ing far less, often under $100, 000, but the pleas add up. Community colleges and men tal health clinics are given a fair chance, but other requests will not fare so well. Few major revenue - pro ducing bills are before the legislature, and these, includ ing tobacco tax, have a poor chance. Tax cuts are unlikely. The totals still fluctuate daily as the committees cut and pad budgets, but decisions on all these bills must be made soon, and it is evident the legislature will have to be se lective in its spending plan. U.S. Research Boon To Economy Growth . Washington (Science Serv ice) U.S. research and de velopment is one of the most effective spurs to continued economic growth, statistics re ported here - by the National Science foundation show. About $12.4 billion was spent on research and develop ment in 1959, which account ed, for 2.6 per cent of the gross national product (GNP). During the past few years, this ration has continually stayed above 2 per cent, the foundation reported. New products absorbed into the economy continually stim ulate U.S. investment and out put. Such products as transis tors show that certain re search and development ' ef forts result in much greater returns than in investments for plants and equipment. In 1959, funds for research and develpment represented about one-tenth of the total U.S. investment , The report is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office here for ten cents. Retired Civil Workers Convention Scheduled A large attendance from throughout Oregon is expect ed during -.the state conven tion of the National Associ ation of Retired Civil Em ployees in West Linn, Ore., April 13 and 14, according to H.
