Duncan Discusses Lumber, Dunes Park On Washington Trip Br A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribun Washington Correspondent Washington - Oregon House Speaker Robert B. Duncan visited with President Ken nedy at the White House to day and said he discussed Oregon's lumber industry problems with members of the presidential staff. The Medford congressional candi date didn't indicate what po sition the administration will take on various pending bills in the Congress designed to relieve lumber distress. Duncan also talked with Interior Secretary Stewart Udall about the Oregon Dunes park controversy to suggest a compromise. He suggested that the park be limited to the area between the ocean and the coast highway, ex cluding the inland lakes and private homes which sur round them. "It could be extended as far as Coos Bay, so it needn't be any smaller than the original park proposal, Duncan added. Duncan told Udall he fa vored administration by the National Park Service. He UAW Expected To Demand Negroes in All Public Atlantic City, N. J. -IUPII- The United Auto Workers Un ion was expected to demand today that Congress pass a law requiring ever public school in the nation to admit Negroes this fall. The proposal was contained in a wide-rangeing civil rights resolution prepared for ap proval by delegates at t h e UAW's 18th convention. It said 2,000 school districts n the United States still op erate segregated schools eight years after the Supreme Court decision calling for integra tion with all deliberate speed. Two million Negro children are denied access to equal ed ucat i o n a 1 opportunities, it added. Hour of Decision "This is the hour of democ racy's great decision," the resolution said. "We must find the way to complete de mocracy's unfinished business at home while continuing to struggle for freedom in the world."

Lester Adams, Medford. was retained as manager. MOUND THI OlOH said the cabinet officer thought the idea "showed con structive thinking," apparent ly because Udall is searching for some middle-ground on which to resolve the park dispute. Udall has been un able to get White House sup port for the larger and more controversial plan, including inland lakes, championed by Sen. Maurine Neuberger. The Medford legislator said he hoped Gov. Mark Hatfield would "get behind this be cause it will draw substantial local support." Duncan came to Washing ton to attend a meeting of the advisory commission on inter governmental relations, to which President Kennedy ap pointed him last month. The commission includes three cabinet members, six mem bers of congress, three state legislators, four mayors and four county officials from all over the country.

The 2,800 delegates a 1 3 o will be asked this week to reject a key part of the Ken nedy administration formula for wage restraint. A policy statement approv ed by the resolutions commit tee declared that pay increas es must exceed, and not be limited by, normal gains in productivity.
