"finest hour" when it approved a pioneer communi ty mental health clinic pro gram Friday - but trouble! .loomed ahead for the bill. - Duncan described the local clinics for treatment of the mentally ill as " tremendous step forward in' the field of mental health."

Tht ellnlci would fit Into a new mental health division,1 the first part of Gov. Mark Hatfield's reorganization plan to pass the House. But in the Senate, Sen. Wal ter Pearson, a valiant backer of the rest of the reorganiza tion program, was. cool and non-committal, , The Portland Democrat said he would have to study the revised bill. Taking a jab at the House, he declared it has been "so unpredictable I have n't had time to outguess them." . It wag another sign of a House-Senate feud.

The Assembly ended an all night session at 6:02 a.m. (e.s.t) by voting 06 to 32, with 8 abstentions, against a key paragraph In a resolution ap proved Friday by the re quired two-thirds majority of the political committee. The resolution was support ed by seven Latin American countries, Mexico, Brazil and several other countries that had intended to be co-sponsors withdrew in an anti-American reaction to the rebel landings In Cuba. ' The remaining seven, Ar gentina, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Panama, Uruguay and Venezuela, asked that members of the Organization of American States be request ed by the U.N. to help bring about peaceful settlement of the dispute between Cuba and the United States. The proposal .was fought right down to the final wire by Cuban Foreign Minister RaulRoa. His victory was the last official action of the lBth general session, which began last Sept, 20 with a parade of world leaders led by Soviet Premier Niklta S. Khrushchev and President Dwlght D. Eis enhower. After declaring the session at and end, Assembly Presi dent Frederick H. Boland of Ireland said it was the longest session In U.N. history but not necessarily the, most fruitful. A number of items still were on the' agenda when the ses sion ended. v MORE MONEY PROBLEMS City Revenue Shows Decrease This Year (Continued From Page 1) Duff estimates the total 1961-62 general fund revenue at $905,536. With over $500 less than they have this year then, the city administration is asked to meet the ever-increasing demands for city services from a growing city. A few examples of tnese demands: The demand for higher salaries for city employees so that the city is able to compete on the labor market with private enterprise. There will be no salary increases this year. As the city grows and becomes more densely populated there Is greater demand for added fire protection. The crime and accident rate rises higher each year, calling for more policemen. Record Construction More construction is going on In the city now than ever before, requiring more personnel in the building de partment to check plans and make on-the-spot Inspections. More city park area is needed, and there is a call for increased and varied city-sponsored recreation activities. There are more streets in the city requiring more street maintenance and more street lights. Dog control and air pollution control Is demanded by the citizens. Yet. there are no funds with which to do either. Costs of everything are going up. For example, next year's needed new police patrol cars will be more expensive than last year's, (The department Is already using economy cars.) . .... There are many, many more. " Costs City More It should be' pointed out that when a new area is an nexed to the city the value of its property automatically becomes a part of the city's tax base. But, it is also true that a new area usually costs the city more In expenditures thpn It adds in revenues, at least for the first few years. : New buildings and other construction within the bound aries of the city do not become part of the tax base. The city will adequately get by next year, Duff makes an emphatic point of this, and possibly even the year after that. But, it is also clear that city services are not increasing as fast as the city is growing, and the longer the city ad ministration, Is asked to get along on its existing tax base, the farther and farther these city services will fall behind. States Plan Meeting On Railroad Sale San Francisco -Hits- Utili ties commissioners from six western states plan to meet Informally in San Francisco tomorrow to discuss the pro posed sale of Western Pacific railroad. Those planning to attend are from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington.. Both the Southern Pacific Co. and the Santa Fe railway have asked the Interstate Commerce commission for permission to control Western Pacific. State Department Pledges Endless ; Battle for Rights Washington (OPS' - The State Department, speaking on behalf of President Ken nedy, retorted swiftly Satur day to an angry message from Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev on Cuba. ; The department announced that Kennedy has decided "not to be drawn into an extended public debate" with the Soviet ruler on details of the Cuban invasion contro versy. , But on Kennedy's behalf the department pledged an "endless struggle" for attain ment of "fundamental rights" and the "popular, will" In Cuba and elsewhere. Firm Policies In broad strokes, "a formal State Department statement laid down firm U. S. general policies on the Caribbean is land. , : .... ! :.: "We regret, the statement said, "the right of any narrow political grouping or any country to arrogate to itself the power to determine 'the real, will of the people.' " Khrushchev In his message had challenged Kennedy on U. S. assertions for freedom, saying, "What freedom do you mean?" The U. S,' statement, read to , reporters by ' department spokesman Lincoln White, said; "Our answer is simple. This nation was committed at its birth to the proposition that the people of all coun tries should have the right freely to determine their own future by democratic process es and freely to cooperate with their neighbors. Fundamental Right "The people of the United States believe that the right of self determination Is funda mental and should apply throughout the world." Review Due for Intelligence Network ligence underestimated L-as- Washlngton -TOPD- President Ken nedy Saturday assigned retired Gen.
