Without the new equipment and maintenance of equip ment fund of $190,811.18, the budget now totals $3,648,219. Combining the totals gives a figure of $3,798,726. The county judge had figured earlier that all budgets as presented would total $4,097, 909.28. Tho new overall total places the budget $634,089.87 under the estimated receipts or $4,283,204.87. The county budget commit tee figures it should have a 10 per cent margin (10 per cent of the estimated re ceipts.) So the current margin of $634,989.87 is well within the 10 per cent figure of $428,320. , Based on Child The current overall budget total is based on allowing $10 per school census child. The county currently is required to contribute this amount to aid the schools. When the Jackson county budget committee meets Tuesday morning it will have to establish an emergency fund equivalent to 2 per cent of the budget total. Judge Miller estimates this at $90, 000. It will also have to evalu ate the general county mis cellaneous fund at a pro. posed total of $211,994.76. Tuesday morning must be the final budget session be cause the board of equaliza tion starts its hearings Tues day afternoon and requires, the attendance of two mem bers of the budget committee.

OREGON Week; Solons Complete Bulk of Work; Face Pel Bills By DOUGLAS GRIPP United Praia International Salem - IUPD - Members of the 1961 Legislature chalked up their 17th week late Fri day and as they split for the week end there were groans and mumbling that ' surely next week will bring final ad journment. Both houses will reconvene Monday morning, the 120th day. Nine more days would make it the longest session in Oregon history. - Senate President Harry Boivin looks for adjournment sine die on Tuesday. House Speaker Robert B. Duncan is all for this. rue solons, their eyes bleary and their tails not so busy any more, have the bulk of their work out of the way, But soundings continue on pet bills which the authors con sider "musts." . : : Next week will bring a final vote on western and eastern Oregon timber tax re forms; the "Little Landrum- Grlffin" labor bill; the gov ernor's amendment to let the Navy stay on at Boardman; salary increases for district judges; and others, including the last bit of frosting on the 1961-63 budget. Sen. Daniel Thiel, co-chairman of the Ways and Means committee, says the budget now shapes us as about $366 million - $7 million over the $359 million offered by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Thiel said this is actually only $727,000 over Hatfield's recommendation, h o w e ver, because the legislature had to provide money for various projects wanted by Hatfield for which he provided no money. . Boazdman These, Thiel said, include: $900,000 for the Boardman Industrial park; community mental clinics; and more soil conservation funds. Commun ity colleges was another. The Ways and Means com mittee late Friday approved $190,000 for a tax appeals court, to hear only appeals on tax squabbles. Appeals from this body would go to the Supreme Court. Other highlights: Salmon - $120,000 for stream clearance, mainly on the coast, won approval of Ways and Means. The original request was $1 million. The work would help clear streams, making it easier for salmon runs to get through. The allocation would be a 60 per cent state contribution with the other 40 per cent coming from local or other sources.' Capitol addition - Ways and Means approved $250,000 to plan an addition to the capitol building, plus re modeling of parts of the pres ent structure. This was in lieu of Sen. Walter J. Pear son's request for $1.5 million to immediately build an ad dition for offices of legislators and hearing rooms, or the rear of the capitol. Racing - A bill requiring that Oregon Racing commis sion members and their em ployes can hold no interest in a race horse won unanimous Senate approval and went to the governor, who asked for it. Education - The Senate ap proved a bill taking the depu ty and assistant superinten dents of public instruction off the classified list of state em ployes. Putting them on the unclassified list makes it easier for them to get raises. Medford Man Works For Game Commission Richard L. Werner, Route 3, Box 69A, Medford, hati been appointed an assistant biolo gist for the Oregon State Game - commission.

Ptll.M Lawn dream MOTHER'S DAYI Aims For Tuesday Adjournment Shepard Says Ride Wasn't Long Enough Grand Baham Island-flJPD- Astronaut Alan B. Shepard Saturday broke his public si lence about his journey through space and expressed a complaint the flight wasn't long enough. The 37-year-old Navy com mander,. now undergoing an exhaustive physical checkup here, issued a one-line state ment about his journey. The only complaint I have was that the flight was not long enough," Shepard said. He will save the rest of his public comments for a news conference , in Washington Monday after he meets with President Kennedy. Shepard was in excellent shape today after his 15 mln ute space ride from Cape Can averal, 113 miles up and more than 300 mUes downrange, - Wearing a sport shirt and slacks, he spent the morning chatting with his six fellow Astronauts" and Project Mer cury officials. ' Robert tjilruth, the civilian space agency's space task force director, said Shepard's entire flight went precisely ac cording to plan and all sys tems functioned perfectly. Asked if the orbital flight scheduled for later this year would be expedited or delay ed, he said that there will be Approval of Latin Aid Sum Expected Washington-IUPD - All signs indicated Saturday that Con gress early this week will hand President Kennedy ev ery penny of the $500 million he wants to help Latin Amer ican countries but only after open debate on the Cuban in vasion fiasco. The House-passed money bill is expected to precepi tate full discussion of Cuba and the role played by the ad ministration when it comes up on the Senate floor. Richard M. Nixon, defeat ed Republican presidential in a speech in Chicago last night voiced a criticism which may be echoed by some Re publican senators wnen tne appropriation come up Tues day. . , "We shouldn't start things unless we are prepared to fin ish, them," Nixon said in launching a campaign of "loyal opposition" to the Ken nedy administration. .

VISIT A SHRINE HOSPITAL SOMETIMEI no change in the program. But it's obvious that certain events of the last few days have not slowed down the program." Astronaut Malcolm Carpen ter said Shepard was able to see 1,600 miles through his periscope at the highest point Another astronaut, John Glenn, said Shepard had no difficulty in his long period of weightlessnesses. Shepard slept well during the night despite the excit- ment of his downrange flight from Cape - Cannaveral. He woke up feeling fine. All seven space astronauts are now on Grand Bahama. Along with space experts, they gathered today to hear Shepard describe the flight it self and his reactions. It was in effect a "re-fly" of Friday's mission, with Shepard telling evexj detail from the moment of luvoff until his capsule landed in the water. Doctors who are atttendlng him described Shepard as be ing in both excellent mental and physical health. , "He's in the best of shape, the best of health, the best of spirits, and just like he was beforehe left the Cape, only happier," Project Mercury flight surgeon Dr. William K. Douglas said. Shepard, who rode a bell- shaped capsule 115 miles into the sky in a 15-mtnute rocket flight from Cape Canaveral Friday, was undergoing one of the most thorough medical examinations a man has ever received. Doctors said one big thing Shepard proved was that weightlessness in space is a "non-spectacular event." As Expected ' Douglas said Shepard s re action during five mimltes of weightlessess was "just what we expected from our experi ence with the trainer." In using the term "train er," Douglas was referring to a device which Shepard and the six other astronauts used to simulate space flight during their two-year rehearsal for Friday's flight. Shepard's pulse went up slightly but well within the expected limit, Douglas said. "That pulse certainly did not go up as far as mine would have," he said. Project officials said Shep ard's Redstone rocket per formed beautiful as he rock: eted to a top speed of 5,160 mile an hour.
