(UPI) May Seen Make-or-Break Month for Kennedy's Program Lieuallen Urges 'Forced Savings' To Handle Boom Washington - IUPH - May is shaping up as a jnake-or-break month for President Kenne dy's legislative program. Congress will coast through the rest of April without mak ing any major decisions. The House has shut down until next Monday to give members an Easter vacation. The Senate is still on the job. But no major business is scheduled pending conclusion of a filibuster over a civil rights bill that lawmakers gen erally agreed has no chance of enactment this year. Before June arrives, the President probably will have won or lost his fights for un precedented tariff- cutting powers, medical care for the elderly financed by social se curity, his "get-tough" farm policy, and his controversial tax revision program. The fate of the farm and medical care programs may be settled by one-vote mar gins behind closed doors of House committees. Here is the outlook on these major parts of Kennedy's pro gram: Trade! The House Ways and Means committee by mid. May is expected to finish drafting legislation contain ing most of the broad tariff cutting powers Kennedy says he must have to deal with Eu rope's Common Market. The crucial test will come when foes attempt to revamp the measure in the House next month before it goes to the Senate. An adminisration vic tory in the House would just about assure final enactment of a bill satisfactory to the President. Farm: Kennedy wants to force feed grain growers to choose in a national referen dum between subjecting them selves to rigid surplu-curbing production controls or giving up all government price sup port. The unprecendented con trols were knocked out of the Senate's farm bill by a one vote margin in committee. The administration avoided a similar defeat in the House Agriculture committee by postponing the showdown un til the first week of May. Win or lose in the House com mittee, administration forces will attempt to restore the controls to the farm bill on the Senate floor. To Get Attention Medical Care: Kennedy has been assured that the Ways and Means Committee will turn its attention to his medi cal care program, after it fin ishes work on the trade bill. Some backers contend that only one more vote is needed to bring some version out of the 25-man committee. Ad ministration forces hope to line up a majority of 13 votes and force a showdown vote before June. The committee where the legislation must start, is regarded as the only formidable barned to its en actment. Taxes: The Senate Finance Committee plans to wind up hearings next week and vote next month on the adminis tration's controversial tax program. The White House is having trouble persuading a majority of the committee to back the President's plan of tax incentives for business to modernize the nation's indus trial plant. Portland - lUPD - Chancellor Roy E. Lieuallen forecast an other student boom at Oregon colleges next year in a report here Tuesday. He advised "forced savings" now to cope with the coming situation. The chancellor submitted a proposed $56 million operat ing budget for 1962-63 to the Board of Higher Education's finance committee, which rec ommended approval. The chancellor also called for higher teacher pay, pro posed emergency funds for the University of Oregon Medical School Hospital, and predict ed a new president for Ore gon College of Education soon. 7.8 Per Cent Jump Seen Dr. Lieuallen said student enrollment is expected to in crease 7.8 per cent, or 3,944 students, this fall. The system already is in a financial squeeze because of a 15 per cent jump last fall. He said $425,000 should be set aside by forced savings in the current year, to be used to hire more teachers next year. He also proposed an aver age 4.9 per cent hike in fac ulty pay. Hoipital Aid Asked Dr. Lieuallen said In order to keep a 34-bed wing of the medical school teaching hos pital open, the board should dip into its emergency funds for $62,208, on condition the State Emergency Board will put up the same amount. The chancellor said a screening committee has se lected six possible candidates for president of OCE from a list of 85 names. Francis Nickerson, head of the community college com mittee, said community col leges must be mainly concern- ea wnn me 60 per cent of high school graduates who otherwise would not go to col lege. Stress on Technology He suggested stress on such courses as technology. He also said offering too many courses will make the cost of commu nity college programs too high. The board's building com mittee approved preliminary plans for a Portland State Col lege science building and au thorized the architects to pro ceed with final plans. Board members learned that Gov. Mark Hatfield is pressing for Inclusion of fall out shelters In campus proj ects. They asked Lieuallen to confer with Hatfield on his ideas for such a shelter program. RENNIE TO MARRY New York - iUPIi - British actor Michael Rcnnle and Mrs. Mary Gardner Preminger, ex wife of film producer Otto Preminger, said Tuesday they will be married in the near future.

The Eenterprise, the world's first and only nuclear-powered capital ship, heralds the navies of the future. Her con cept is revolutionary, and in size and power she dwarfs her contemporaries. But when this futuristic carrier sailed from NorlolK, Va., on a cold, blustry winter day, she carried into the space age one of America's longest naval traditions. She is the eighth in the Enterprise dyna sty, which was born during the Revolutionary War. Her ancestors fought in every war and sailed every sea - bat- biggest fighting ship, it is the mightiest. Its jet attack planes, 100 or more in number and virtually limitless in war making potential, can be sent airborne as swiftly as a boy propels stones from a sling shot. The Navy says the jets can be launched at the rate of one every 15 seconds from four steam-driven catapults. The carrier's speed is more than 30 knots - its exact per formance capabilities a secret. Its load of nuclear fuel will last almost indefinitely and the small storage space re quired for it gives the ship another bonus factor. Where other carriers must store thou sands of gallons of fuel oil to power their own engines, the Enterprise can hold fuel for its jet aircraft. But life aboard the Enter prise is not all nuclear-powered. Paint brushes, mops, brooms and galley (kitchen) details are still very much a part of navy routine. But the "new Navy" has these here tofore unknown advantages: nightly movies, air condition ing, foam rubber mattresses, individual bunk lights, soda fountains and TV lounges. In command of the Enter prise's 4,600 officers and men is Capl. Vincent Paul de Poix. He is, at 46, one of the young est carrier commanders in the Navy and the commanding of the colonial navy from the British on Lake Champlaln in 1776. It was burned intention ally the following year to pre vent recapture. The subsequent Enterprises included: -An eight-gun, 25-ton schoon er which plied the Chesapeake on convoy duty during the Revolutionary war. - The "Lucky little Enter prise," a 135 - ton, 12 gun schooner which served proud' ly during the revolution and the war of 1812. It also fought against pirates In the West Indies and sailed to the shores of Tripoli in the North Afri can campaign made famous In "the Marine Hymn." - A 10-gun schooner, built In 1831, which battled slave traders off West Africa. - A steam - powered sloop-of-war, commissioned in 1883, which gained fame charting virtually unknown waters of the Indian Ocean, the South Atlantic and the Caribbean. - A 660 - foot motor patrol craft which served during World War I. - The World War II air craft carrier Enterprise, which fought the Japanese from the day of Pearl Harbor until war's end. The current Enterprise's keel was laid at Newport News, Va., on Feb. 4, 1958. PGE U.S. i Columbia Ferry Grounded Briefly Asloria-(UPI)-The Columbia River ferry M. R.
