Non-Commital
Duncan remained non-com-mital.
All Democrats are,
since their likely opponent is
Gov. Mark O. Hatfield, whom
the Republicans say is more
popular than ever.
Duncan did say, however, in
response to a question, that he
is "confident the Democratic
party will win the state capi
tol back and retain a majority
in the legislature in 1962 re
gardless of who the candidate
(for governor) may be."

Introduces Church
Duncan was master of cere
monies of the banquet and in
troduced Church who said:
"It's a pleasure to be intro
duced by Oregon's next gov

siders Hatfield a national po
litical threat to the Demo
crats, said, "that will depend
on his future political for
tunes in Oregon."
Rep. Edward J. Whelan, D-
Portland, who accompanied
Duncan on his first trip home
since the legislature convened
in Salem last January, said
the Speaker has exerted "tre
mendous leadership" in the
legislature and "for Demo
crats throughout the state."
Endorses School Aid .,
The crux of Church's speech
was a fiery endorsement of
federal aid to education, spe
cifically the Kennedy Admin
istration bill sponsored by
Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore.
Church said the struggle
with world Communism boils
down to "brain power" in
stead of "muscle power" and
therefore better schools

"must" in the current Con
gress.,.. -- " ""i?
"If you don't believe we're
being threatened," he said,

U.N. Resolution
Asks Belgians
To Leave Congo
Also Asks Convening
Of Congo Parliament
United Nations - (UPD - The
General Assembly last night
called for the withdrawal of
all Belgian military personnel
and mercenaries from the Con
go and urged the immediate
reconvening of the Congolese
parliament to decide the fu
ture form of government for
the politically-divided repub
lic. Concluding its long debate
on the Congo crisis, the 99-
nation body urged the Con
golese leaders to stop fighting
and solve their problems by
peaceful means. The delegates
called for the release of all
political prisoners in the Con
go so that reconciliation and
negotiation can begin.
The Assembly also called
upon Belgium to accept its
responsibilities as a member
of the United Nations and to
comply fully and promptly
with resolutions passed by
the Assembly and the Securi
ty council in regard to the
Congo situation.
The actions were incorpor
ated in two resolutions ap
proved by the Assembly.
Before the final votes on
the resolutions, the Assembly
turned down a Soviet propos
al to delete the words "by the
secretary - general" from a
clause urging necessary action
to bio c-k military supplies
from entering the Congo. The
communists have withdrawn
their recognition of Secretary-
general Dag Hammarskjold,
and rejection of the proposal
was viewed by many diplo
mats as a new vote of confi
dence for Hammarskjold's
mandate in the Congo.
In addition to the nine Com
munist . delegations, Guinea
and Cuba voted for the Soviet
proposal. Mali, ' Congo (Leo
poldville), Yugoslavia, France
and Morocco, abstained.
Russian Answer
On Laos Expected
Washington-IUPD-Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei A. Gro
myko has indicated Russia
will reply in a few days to
a call for a cease fire in Laos,
it was learned Saturday.
Reliable sources said Grc
myko informed U.S. Ambas
sador Llewellyn E. Thomp
son, Jr., of this in a talk in
Moscow Thursday. i
The talk occurred when
Thompson conveyed President
Kennedy's deep "concern"
over Russia's failure to reply
to the Western cease fire re
quest which has gone unan
swered since about four weeks
ago. i
U.S. officials remained cau
tious despite Gromkyo's hint
of an early answer. They not
ed that when Gromyko saw
President Kennedy here sev
eral weeks ago he promised
a Soviet answer in "three
days."
No Comment
Officially, the state depart
ment had . no comment on
Thompson's meeting Thurs
day except that "matters of
interest, among them Laos,
were discussed.
However, it is known that
the Kennedy administration
feels events of the next few
days may be crucial in decid
ing whether' there will be
peace or stepped up strife in
Laos.
Authoritative sources said
that recent high hopes have
given way' to new talk of
American determination to
keep Laos from falling to the
Communist Pathet Lao troops.
There was growing concern
in the administration that
Russia may be backing out
.of' what the West had felt was
a tentative commitment to a
cease fire.

Senator Discusses
Variety of
Sen. Frank Church (D-Ida.)
covered a wide range of top
ics during a press interview
Saturday afternoon and in his
talk at the annual Roosevelt
Memorial banquet here Satur
day night he discussed prob
lems facing . the administra
tion and particularly per
taining- to Oregon. - .
The young senator from
Idaho dealt with these in a
relaxed, rapid fashion and
discussed high unemployment,
the lag in public education,
inadequate ; medical care for
old people, unequal economic
treatment of the farmer, high
Interest rates causing a de
pressed 5 economic growth
and the low level of construc
tion. ...
If we find adjustments for
those problems facing the
world and can materially re
duce the armed forces and
economic aid to foreign na
tions', then we will have re
duced taxes," Senator Church
id. "No. I don't know when
this will happen," he replied
to a question during the press
interview.
Tax Reform
He indicated there is like
ly to be a tax reform program
with special attention to small
business.
The new "Peace Corps"
seems most promising as seen
in Africa, the senator, a mem
ber of the senate foreign re
lations committee, noted.
However, it cannot be a sub
stitute for economic aid to the
depressed areas of the world,
he pointed out. ' -
"Money spent abroad is
like water on a water-wheel,"
the slight, dark complexioned
senator remarked. The wheel
makes one turn and like the
water, the money is lost in
the main stream flow. The in
fluence of the "Peace Corps"
should be more lasting," he
noted. - - v '
Has the Soviet space
achievement of orbiting
man in a rocket harmed the
United States foreign pres
tige? The senator answered
it is "just further evidence
that the Russians are main
taining their lead in space."
Get Worie
"You must remember that
President Kennedy said when
he took office things would
get worse Instead of better at
Topics
first. We need a speeded up
space effort, but a more prop
erly directed one." , J
"The Kennedy' administra
tion is trying to obtain a
cease-fire agreement in Laos,"
the senator stated. It wants a
neutral Laos, which is a re
verse, .of the U.S. foreign poli
cy in that country. We might
have had it readily before if
we had not attempted to com
mit the government there to
the west."
The Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization was never a
realistic approach, Senator
Church remarked. "We are
not having ' difficulties in
Cambodia in Southeast Asia
because we did not make the
same serious mistake as in
Laos."
Hopes for Support -
. Referring to Republican
Congressman Edwin Durno's
remarks that the ' "honeyr
moon" congressional support
of Kennedy is almost over,
Church replied, "Certainly
President Kennedy doesn't
have Dr. Durno behind him
But we hope the bulk of the
President's program is sup
ported by Congress."
"If the Communists persist
in Laos, of course we will
have to honor our commit
ments there," the senator re
plied to another question. "We
would have to ' intervene
through SEATO."
The President would pre
fer to avoid summit meetings
because these have become
"propaganda feasts" and ac
complish little diplomatically,
Senator Church pointed out.
Red China will be in the
United Nations, but not this
year, he remarked. Past votes
in the U.S. Senate Indicate
a trend to let Red China in,
the senator noted. "I have
little reason to believe it won't
(be in). The President has re
affirmed his opposition to Red
China entering membership
of the United Nations."

For Cuban Raids

Raul Roa charged Saturday
that the dawn air raids on
Cuba were a U. S.,' "act of
imperialistic piracy" and said
another bombing of Fidel Cas
tro's Island stronghold was
planned shortly.
Roa said the next attack
was scheduled for 10 p.m. last
night. .
However, that hour passed
without any new attacks.
Two unidentified planes
were reported by Cuban au
thorities to have been spotted
near Havana earlier last night
but they apparently flew off
without engaging in any hos

Charges Rejected '
U. S., Ambassador Adlal E.

Washington - planned aggresi

mittee tne united states "will
do everything it possibly can
to make sure that no Amerl
cans participate in any ac

' Soviet Ambassador Valeri
an A. Zorin said a ""single
word from the government of
the United States would have
sufficed and not a single plane
would have taken the air to
bomb Cuba's cities - but un
fortunately, the facts show
that this word never was spo
ken."
In a thinly-veiled warning,
Zorin told the 99-natlon. com
mittee:
We should not forget,
Cuba is not alone today.
Among its most sincere
friends the Soviet Union is to
be found. The Soviet delega

Hatfield Vetoes Bill
On Welfare Transfer
Salem-TOPD-Gov. Mark Hat
field Friday vetoed a bill to
prevent him from moving the
state public welfare commis

This means the move prob

as ordered by Hatfield earlier.
An override is unlikely.
Hatfield's proposed welfare
commission move opened a
controversy revolving around
charges of chaos in welfare
activities. He said bowing to
regional interests in locating
state agencies "could result in
log-rolling of a nature the
