Duncan Visions $10 Increase in
Basic School Support This Year
Salem 1UPD House Speaker
Robert Duncan said today it
appears that basic school sup
port will be increased this ses
sion by $10 a census child as
Gov. Mark Hatfield recom
mends but complained that "it
should be more." ;
He said the estimated $6
jnlllion loss in the current bi
ennium made by "the gover
nor's tax . commission may
' have been the difference."
Thn Tax Commission said
Friday it appears that Instead
of a $39 million surplus the
state will have about $33 mil
lion left over when the new
blennlum starts this summer.
The $10 would raise the
state's contribution to local
school costs from about 36 per
cent to about 40 per cent over
the next two years, or $115
per child.
"Fifteen dollars per child
more should be a minimum," I
the Medford Democrat said
"But we apparently don't
have the money. It would take
a tax Increase and no one
wants that."
Duncan said the 1961-63
budget Is shaping Up just
about the way Hatfield rec
ommended, about $359 mil
lion. The legislature rolled Into
Its 16th week and 106th day
today. Duncan said there is a
possibility the session could
carry over Into next week.
He said he doesn't contem
plate any night sessions in the
House in any case. .
Duncan said there are seven
proposals he wants to see en
acted before he goes home.
They are: A new social servic
es department, especially the
mental health division: state
labor elections . machinery;
basic school increase; timber
tax reform; medicare; commu
nity colleges, but with, less
money; and formation of a
state commission on constitu
tional revision;
He also favors milk, indus
try safeguards. " '

posed by two of the four
transportation firms operating
In the Coos Bay area after
shippers had balked at exist

to begin their own transpor

could not be worked out.
. Many of the 34 common

views to President Kennedy
and has urged that intelligence
and "operations" responsibili
ties be separated in the Cen
tral IntelligenceAgency.
Nixon believes strongly, It
can be stated, that in the face
of Communist subversion this
government must find the
legal devices - as it did in the
case of Korea - to employ its
power on the side of freedom.
Multilateral 'action will hot
be possible and mere eco
nomic assistance will never
work in Latin America, he
feels.
The man who lost the presi
dency to Kennedy last Novem
ber thinks the Democratic
President showed great cour
age and leadership in deciding
that the United States should
give aid to the rebel invasion
of Cuba which failed last
week.-
He is pictured as uncritical
of that decision and has tried
to assure Kennedy he need not
be inhibited on future foreign
policy moves by any fear of
political criticism.
Nixon was one of the first
in the Elsenhower administra
tion to urge that, the United
States develop para-military,
guerrilla - type forces for use
against Red aggression.
He still feels American de
velopment In this field Is woe
fully inadequate.
Russian Crop
Acreage Increased
Washington (UPD - The For
eign Agricultural Service said
today an abnormally early
spring in many regions of the
Soviet Union enabled Russian
farmers to. plant a larger acre
age to spring crops than in
1960.
More than 16 million acres
were seeded to 'all spring
crops by April 5,; compared
with less than nine million on
the same date a year ago. Tills
area, however, is a small pro
portion of total spring acre
age, which is close to 360 mil
lion acres.
Besides early spring grains,
the Russians also planted cot
ton, sugar - beets, sunflower
seeds and other crops.

Agent Neor You
Move Outgrowth
Of Ill-Starred
Cuba Invasion
Washington -(UPD President
Kennedy today assigned his
brother, Atty. Uen. Kooert r .
Kennedy, to help in a top-
level study of the nation s m
te'lligence structure and ca
pacity for limited war opera
tions.
The president also said that
Allen W. Dulles, director of
the Central Intelligence
Agency, and Adm. Arleigh A.
Burke, chief of naval opera
tions, also would work on the
project which is being direct
ed by Gen. Maxwell D. Tay
lor, retired former Army chief
of staff. .
Outgrowth of Invasion
The moves were an out
growth of last week's ill
starred rebel invasion of Cuba.
White House Press; Secre
tary Pierre Salinger stressed
that Taylors study oi para
military operations, (noncon
ventional, guerrilla-type war
fare) which the White House
announced Saturday, is "gov-ernment-wide.7
. . .. .
Salinger applied this em
phasis 'when asked if the
President had asked his broth
er to ' help investigate the
CIA s role in the abortive Cu
ban invasion and in - all as
pects of the nation's defense
activities. . .
One-man Task Force
Salinger : said Taylor still
will be considered "essential:
ly: a one-man task force, but
he will have the assistance of
these gentlemen." x
He said it still is hoped that
the review can be completed
in two months. -
American officials have
acknowledged that the rebel
invasion, supported by the
United States, was ordered
after.', miscalculations -were
made as to Castro's military
strength and possibilities for
an uprising inside Cuba. '
Wide Experience
Asked why the President
had chosen his brother to join
In the study, Salinger said the
attorney general had former
ly been chief counsel of the
Senate investigations, subcom
mittee and had "wide experi
ence in the field of govern
ment agencies and organiza
tion." : . " '
Asked If Robert Kennedy,
Dulles and Burke would de
vote full time to the project,
Salinger said: '
"No, General .Taylor-' will
carry on the study - and the
others will work with him."
Salinger was asked if the
President had asked Senate
Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield (Mont.) to withhold
any senatorial investigation
of the CIA's role In the Cu
ban, situation. - Salinger said
he knew of no such request.
Mansfield has long been an
advocate of greater congres
sional supervision over the
CIA.
Makes Big Mistakes
Officials here said that
U.S. Intelligence made two
major miscalculations in Cuba.-
They said it badly mis
judged Premier Fidel Cas
tro's military power and the
degree of his police-state con
trol over the Cuban people.
On the military side, these
sources said, one of the big
failures was in not knowing
the number of planes Castro
had in- operation. There has
been no verification of re
ports that he had Soviet MIGs
in operation, but he did have
far more propeller - driven
planes than U.S. intelligence
estimated. i . .
Rockefeller To
Talk With JFK
Washington -(UPD- President
Kennedy will confer Tuesday
with Gov. Nelson A- Rockefel
ler of New York in his effort
to keep major political leaders
informed on the Cuban situ
ation. Kennedy already has talked
with former Presidents
Dwight D. ' Eisenhower and
Harry S. Truman, former
Vice President" Richard M.
Nixon, Sen. Barry Goldwater
(R-Ariz.) and congressional
leaders about Cuba.
The White House said the
invitation to Rockefeller was
Issued Friday during a tele
phone conversation with the
governor. An aide said Rocke
feller would fly here Tuesday
afternoon- ,
Kennedy "also had his dis
cussion with Truman In a tele
phone call' Friday. He has
asked Vice President Lyndon
B. Johnson to give Truman a
further briefing Tuesday in
Independence, Mo. ,: T
'The President and Eisen
hower talked over, the Cuban
situation for one hour and 25
minutes Saturday at secluded
Camp David in Maryland's
Catoctin Mountains. E 1 s e n-
hower later called on all
Americans to support Ken
nedy in the crisis.
' Soviet -Premier Niklta
Khrushchev sent Kennedy a
note Saturday declaring that
the United States was follow
ing a "slippery and dangerous
path" In Cuba and elsewhere
that could lead to world war.
The State Department
promptly retorted that Ken
nedy had decided not to be
drawn Into an "extended pub
lic debate" with Khrushchev
over the Cuban invasion. ,
But the department pledged
on Kennedy's behalf an' "end-1 rights and popular govern
less struggle" for fundamental ' ment In Cuba and elsewhere.
