Bzrton Cautions j
Senate on Mental
Clinics Proposal
' Salem-OTI - Rep. Clarence
- Barton, co-chairman of the
powerful Ways and Means
committee; declared Saturday
s there will be "some bloodlet
ting' in the legislature next
'" week it the Senate stalls on a
bill for .local mental health
clinics. ,' '
Barton, who strongly favors
the mental health bill, didn't
go into details. But the Co-
auUle Democrat has near pow
era of life or death over pet
bills of various legislators.
- The House-passed measure
Is in the Senate State and
Federal Affairs committee.
The Senate has killed most
of Gov. Mark Hatfield's gov
ernment reorganization pro
posals. -The mental health di
vision is one of the ' recom
mendations. .
- Barton said he things Sec
retary of State Howell Ap
pling Jr. is actively working
against the bill, possibly in
v. the committee headed by Sen.
Walter 3. Pearson, (D-Port-land).
1 ,
Appling, although opposing
the bill because it would de
tract from the Board of Con
trol, dimissed Barton's state
ment m "ridiculous." 1 ; '
Pearson, a strong supporter
of reorganization . personally,
was non-commital earlier as
to how the Senate will react
to the mental health proposal,
i Barton said the Ways and
Means committee, key to 'ad
journment, is "fairly welt
cleaned up" but he thinks the
legislature' will run- through
next Thursday. '

Legislators Seek
End To Deadlock
On 3-Way
By A. H. PEARSON
United Press International
Salem - WPD - Quiet last
minute conferences were be
ing held by legislative leaders
in an effort to break the dead
lock over three-way work
men's compensation.
, Participating in the private
meetings were spokesmen for
all s des. Including Sen. wal
ter Pearson (D-Portland); Rep,
W.1 0. Kelsay (D-Roseburg);
and House Speaker Robert
Duncan (D-Medford).
Aim of the talks was to
look for a compromise that
will result in "passage of
some good ; workmen's com
pensation legislation this ses'
sion.'
Tabled Bill
Pesrson has been the strong
proponent of three-way, while
Kelsay Is chairman of the
House Labor . committee
which tabled the three-way
bill.
,: The 'impasse over
three.
way has In effect blocked
passage of any other legisla
tlon to modernize industrial
accident laws. Several bills
in this field that differ from
three-way are still In the
House Labo:' committee, stall'
ed by the three-way , stale
mate. ' '.
There Is general agreement
that the three-way bill would
do two things.
-It would end the state
monopoly on industrial, accl
dent insurance, -extending the
field '. to private Insurance
firms, and to industries them'

selves which could afford to
"post their own bond." One
effect would be to shift large
sums to private insurers,
Clean-Up Claims
-It would clean up claims
and appeals procedures for
injured workmen, an area
that labor spokesmen feel can
stand Improvement. Other
bills In the House Labor com'
mittee would accomplish this
to an extent.
. Industry and business
spokesmen have generally en'
dorsed the three-way plan,
praising the , competitive in
surance feature as well as
procedural Improvements.
Labor spokesmen have said
private insurance carriers
would result in fewer bene'
fits for the worker.
, In between the two posl
tions is a broad field for give
and take if the participants
are wilting.
,One alternative might bear
some resemblance to a two-
way plan, wHich would per
mlt state and self-insurance,
eliminating private firms. A
two-way bill Is in the House
Labor committee.

Rusk Plans Defense
Of JFK Cuba Policy
Washington , (UPD Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk will
meet personally with a Sen
ate subcommittee tomorrow
to defend the Kennedy ad
ministration's handling of the
Cuban crisis and face ques
tioning about the recent ill-
fated rebel invasion attempt.
As a result, the foreign re
lations subcommittee on Latin
America postponed the ap
pearance of Director Allen W.
Dulles of the Central Intelli
gence Agency, who also had
been asked to appear Mon
day. Rusk notified the foreign
relations committee shortly
after his return from Ankara,
Turkey, that he would repre
closed door session with the
subcommittee headed by Sen.
Wayne L. Morris (D-Ore.).
Troops Expected
Only To Half Red
Advances in Laos
Washington -flJPD-H SEATO
goes to war in Laos, it prob
ably would fight a limited,
large defensive operation rem
iniscent of the . controversial
"war to a draw" policy In
Korea a decade ago.
As in "Korea, the basic rea
son would be fear of setting
off a big war - possibly nu
clear World War III - by
drawing in massive Chinese
Communist intervention.
Although SEATO's military
plans are secret, official hints
here and in other capitals of
the eight-nation alliance lndi'
cate this strategy:
-SEATO would go into Laos
only at the request of .either
King Savang Vatthana or the
western - recognized govern
ment of Prince Boun Oum
Halt Advance
-American and other allied
troops would have orders to
halt the advance of the pro-
Communist forces rather than
try to drive them out of Laos.
-They would stay away
from, the borders pf Commu
nist China to the . north and
Communist North Viet Nam
to the east.
-They would try to estab
lish a defense line generally
along the Mekong River val
ley, saving the administrative
capital of Vientiane, the royal
capital at Luang Prabang, and
the southern border areas
guarding Thailand, Cambodia
and South Viet Nam.
-The limited objectives of
the SEATO operation would
be announced in advance to
the world . by the members
of the United Nations Security
council,
Force Cease Fire .
The goal would be. In effect,
to force the Communists to
accept a cease fire and peace
negotiations before they gob
ble up the entire country and
put themselves into a position
to dictate the terms.
Allied intervention would
be tailored to demonstrate that
the west's commitments to
defend the non-Communist na
tions of southeast Asia are
not empty promises. But also
it would be to show that the
West will not try to roll back
the Iron Curtain with arms
or make Laos a western bas
tion on. the border of the Com
munist world. '
American officials empha
size that the entire world po
sition of the United States is
at stake - not just tiny Laos.
They see the Communists
present guerrilla campaign in
South Viet Nam as a war al
ready started. Offlclls here
believe that If Laos falls, both
the military and psychologi
cal scales in South Viet Nam
would i tip sharply ' towards
eventual Communist victory.
Thailand Next
Thailand might be next.
Consequently, a call to arms
by SEATO is seen by these of
ficials as much more than a
fight to "save Laos," a coun
try which sometimes seems in
different to . whether it Is
"saved" or not.
In SEATO's consultations.
France so far has resisted the
conclusion that military inter
vention is likely to accom
plish any useful result. ,
American officials concede
the risks and go along with
the policy of exhausting all
possible political compromises
before resorting to arms.
The question for the alli
ance this week end was wheth
er the time had come to take
these risks. . -

Local Firemen Plan
Home Safety Checks
Medford residents will
again be offered the home in
spection service Monday when
uniformed firemen of the Med
ford Fire department canvas
streets extending north and
south. ,
Firemen will point out' to
city homeowners the ordinary
hazards that often are not rec
ognized by residents as dan
gerous. Although these de
fects are usually of a minor
nature, they actually are re
sponsible for the large ma
jority of house fires, accord
ing to Truman Nelson, local
fire marshal.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
According to Nelson, . re
moval of these common causes
of fire should help to appreci
ably reduce, the "terrible" loss
in lives and property that
reached an all-time high In
the United States last year.
Most of the fires occurred in
the homes, and most of the
lives lost were in home fires.
Due to the number of resi
dents in Medford, the fire de
partment concentrates on one
half of the city each year.
Residents new to the area or
