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

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

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

tention to the water rights
implications of the Pelton

Algiers - (UPI) - French riot
police late today fought back
an estimated 300 Moslems
who tried to storm out of
the Algiers Casbah brandish

of fury against European ter
rorist attacks.
The mob massed after Se

women in the streets and ex
ploded four plastic bombs on
the fringes of the big Casbah

The day's toll in the terror
incidents, mostly in Algiers,
was at least 16 killed and 21
wounded, bringing the total
since Jan. 1 to 4,321 killed
and 8,745 wounded.
Panic spread among Euro

Moslem mob crashed through
barbed wire barriers into
Government Square, on the
edge of the European city, in
the first mass Moslem re
sponse to OAS provocation in
Algiers.

Earlier today European ter

The victims raised to five

It was the first time that
the Secret Army Organiza-

The attacks appeared to be
another attempt by the OAS
to goad the Moslems into
bloody reprisals and bring
about French troop interven

French troops, determined
to halt the terror attacks be
fore they succeed in disrupt

a 12-block area of downtown
Algiers today and staged
hunt for OAS commandos and
weapons. . .
It was the third such search
in the past four days.
