raBMiisft Delegates Hos I ' I Il.ll -I ,i. II I. H..III Abuse Helped On Pro-Veslern Representatives Br MICHAEL MALLOY UPI Correspondent Ban Hln Heup, Laos HOT Fro-Weitern royil Laotian army delegate! met with Communist. Pathet Lao rebel delegatei to discuss a perma nent cease fire today. But the Reds heaped ' abuse on the Western representatives, re fused to discuss a cease fire and demanded a change of scene for the talks. The .meet ing broke up in an hour, , The hostile Communist at titude seemed to offer I bleak outlook for a perma , nent extension of the tempo rary cease fire that has been in effect since 6 pjn. Wednes- . day, since today's conference accomplished little. This correspondent and United Press Movietone cam eraman ia van nan drove to - . this truce village s.uth of the Mam river by Jeep and watched the truce play un fold. . We peered through barld wire barricades across the Nam river at noon as Gen. Sing Battbnasamay, head of the six-member royal Laotian army delegation, and his com panions trekked . across a rickety, temporary bridge to meet their Communist Pathet Lao counterparts. . ' The Communists said they could not guarantee the safe ty of newsmen, so we were not permitted to cross the ri , ver,to the actual conference site in a thatched hut on a dusty road about two miles ud from this royal army com- ; mand post on the main hlgh . way between Vientiane and . Luang Prabang. We were tilled in on some details when the loyalist dele- gation returned. Matting Started Late The meeting got started 20 minutes late. The Communist side, in a move reminiscent of 'the Panmunjom talks on the ' ately threw up obstacles. - ..They refused to discuss ceasefire, put forth objections about present troop disposi tions, and demanded that the royal government send a "per manent delegation" compe tent to guarantee a ceasefire "sometime before Sunday." 'The Communulsts also: de manded that negotiations be carried on at Ban Namone, al most 80 miles north of here in reoei-nem territory. - .They also, demanded that ver at Ban Hln Heup. Gen. Sing replied that he had come to discuss a cease fire and not the disposition of military units. Morse Protests Budget Proposals Washington -OTJ- A Senate appropriations . subcommittee Thursday heard criticism of House cuts in budget propos als for the Interior Depart . ment and related agencies. The loudest protest came from .Sen. Wayne Morse (D Ore.), who said reductions proposed for the bureau of land management merely "give the appearance of econ omy." Morse said a 1600,000 cut in budget proposals for the bu reau would involve losses "in the long run" because they would mean "leu conserva tion on the ground and less vigorous and forceful admin istration" in the bureau. Sen. Ernest Gruenlng (D- Alaska) asked the subcommit- . tee that appropriations tor the bureau be increased from the $1,636,000 requested by Pres ident Kennedy to $2.5 mil lion.

The move mean- that Port land and the surrounding area will have clocks an hour fast er than the rest of the state. It took a legislativi act to accomplish i t. Multnomah county commissioners gave their approval Thursday. They said officials of the other four counties affected by the legis lation - Clackamas, Washing ton, Columbia and Hood River -had agreed to follow suit. The five counties have a combined population of 783,- 862. Oregon s population Is 1,768.887. Meeting Set A spokesman for the oalem Chamber ot Commerce said representatives of - chambers from eight Willamette Valley cities would meet In Salem Monday to discuss the situa tion. There has been talk of businesses opening up an hour earlier in these towns. It would be technically against the law for clocks to be set ahead in the 31 coun ties not affected by the legis lation. There was talk of possible legal action, A spokesman for the Ore gon Theater Owners Associa tion said attorneys were study ing the situation. He said drive-in theater business would be hurt. ' . Uniformity Problem The new time also created the problem of uniformity In working hours among state employees, in Portland and Salem. Loren Hicks, adminis trative assistant to Gov. Mark Hatfield, said no decision had been reached. Airlines here said flights out ot Portland would arrive and depart on daylight time effective at 1 a.m. Sunday. Airlines in cities outside the affected area are expected to observe local times. Greyhound Lines had changed bus schedules earlier to conform with daylight time in Washington and California.

Several House members said they considered a capi tol addition a foolish expenditure. Home & Garden Show V.dhri Armory Friday Saturday - Sunday May l 7 Gov. Ebnieltl welf are Commissioners Move Threatened If Controversy Occurs Again Portland - (UPD - Gov. Mark Hatfield said Thursday night if he had to go through the Welfare Commission contro versy again he probably would fire the commissioners at the outset rather than seek resignations. "I probably would have fired the commissioners to tie gin with rather than be cour teous enough to ask for their resignations," he said. Several months ago, Hat field Indicated he wished four of the seven members of the commission would quit. They refused and three complained they hadn't officially been asked. Other Points Made ' Answering questions at a fast clip, Hatfield also: - Said Jockeying for the three-way workmen's compen sation bill in the legislature has probably doomed other re forms in this field in the 1961 session. He said this is "too bad" for the working man. -Complained that the Sen ate's proposed five per cent Income tax cut for every, tax-. payer is "patchwork" legisla tion. He said he prefers the Mouse approach, a net re ceipts tax that recognizes the tax structure problem. Against Price Control -Restated that he is "in herently" against price con trol but added that milk may have reached the point of being classed as a "utility" and therefore may need regu lation. -Said there are too many "would be" candidates for gov ernor in the 1961 legislature to be a detriment to govern ment. Hatfield issued his chal lenge to the Democrats for 1962: "Come one and come all. The field is wide open."

SISKIYOU ELECTRIC (Formerly East Side Electric) Ashland, Oregon Consider firing Labor Sill Tacked On To Bargaining Rights for Nurses Salem-tUPD-The determined Senate State and Federal Af fairs Committee Thursday at tached the "little Landrum Griffin" labor bill as a rider to a House-passed measure giving nurses bargaining rights. It was a maneuver to cir cumvent the House Labor Committee which has bottled up the original Senate-passed bill, hated by labor. The action came as the 1061 legislature moved into its 117th day, making it history's second longest session. Predic tions were it will run into next week, probably about Wednesday. If the Senate passes the "amended" nurses bill, it would go directly to the House floor for agreement in the Senate changes. A two thirds vote would be required to force out the original little Landrum-Griffin bill. Other Bill Delayed The Senate Committee vot ed to postpone consideration of a bill setting up mental health clinics until next week. House leaders have labeled it one of the best measures of the session. The committee released a measure bringing firemen's respiratory ailments under in jured worker provisions without any effort to tag on three-way workmen's com pensation. This was considered the only suitable bill in the com mittee's possession that could take three-way as a rider. Chairman Walter Pearson's three-way bill, involving mil lions of dollars, also is locked in the House Labor Commit tee. V Struggles such as these, bills still to be passed, and conference committee efforts to iron out differences on such matters as taxes will re quire a few more days unless Weyerhaeuser, Union Agree Tacoma - (UPD - Weyerhaeu ser Co. said today it has reached agreement with the International Woodworkers of America on provisions for a new two-year contract cover ing 11,000 woods and mill em ployees in the Pacific North west. ' The agreement, which would run from June 1, 1961 to June 1, 1963, is subject to rati fication by union membership. Weyerhaeuser said the agree ment provided a general wage increase of one per cent. It eliminates piecework pay for falling and bucking and pro vides for upward adjustment in existing hourly wages for fallers and buckers, hooktend ers, high climbers and rigging slingers, the firm said. Other changes include lib eralized supplemental benefits for industrial illness and acci dents, an improved benefit plan increasing payment to retired workers and liberal ized holiday pay provisions.

The vote was 23-4 and it went to the governor. , For Agricultural Use HB1008, part of the Interim Tax Committe's package, al lows "city farmers" to have their land zoned for strict agriculture use, and therefore pay lower taxes. Many farmers whose land is surrounded by mushroom ing subdivisions are in the red because they have to pay higher subdivision taxes while operating on farm in come. If farmers decided to sub divide, they would lose the tax relief and the property would go on the rolls at the higher rate. Sen. Vernon Cook (D-Trout-dale) called alt a "very bad precedent." If this were ex tended to other classes of property, the property tax system would be in chaos, he said. . .
