Government Not
To Tackle All
Labor Disputes
Washington (UPP President
Kennedy has made it clear
that the government will not
"go from city to city" trying
to solve every labor dispute
that arises.
He told his news conference
Wednesday the government
"cannot settle labor matters
in disputes across the coun
try" that do not involve the
health and safety of the na
tion. To do so, Kennedy said,
would change "the whole
pattern of labor-management
relations, and you get then
into wage and price setting,
which we are opposed to."
His statements came in re
sponse to a question on wheth
er the government might get
involved in a spreading strike
o construction workers in
northern California.
Unaware of Request
The President said he was
unaware that building con
tractors in California had
asked for administ ration
"help."1 "What do they want
us to do? Do they want us to
settle it?" He asked his ques
tioner. He said the strike was a
matter which the builders and
unions involved would have
to resolve.
"This is a free! society, and
these gentlemen finally have
to make their agreement," he
said. "Now, if a shutdown
occurs which involved the
health and safety, then of
course it involves the national
government."
Other Highlights
Other developments in the
news conference:
-Kennedy described Vice
President Lyndon B. Johnson
as "invaluable" and denied
rumors that Johnson might be
dropped from the Democratic
ticket in 1964.
-Kennedy called southern
efforts to send busloads of
Negroes to the North "a rath
er cheap exercise" in pub
licity. -He said the administration
is giving "very careful con
sideration" to protests from
some scientists that U.S. high
altitude nuclear tests might
damage the Van Allen belt of
radiation which girdles the
earth. He said the tests will
be conducted "only after care
ful scientific deliberation but
it does not appear they would
cause harm.

oncers
tion of the miners' strike di
rectly on continuous Commu
nist broadcasts in the Spanish
language by Radio Prague.
Spain's chief of state, uni
formed as captain general of
the army, received me at the
Pardo Palace, seven miles
from Madrid.
The effort to perpetuate the
strikes in the coal mines of
Asturias consists of specific
instructions by the Red radio.
he said, adding that the flare
ups also are a rallying point
for opportunistic factions op
posed to the regime.
The Red effort, he said, is
i attempt to prevent the
miners in this curiously con
fused and disorganized strike
from realizing that the mine
owners already had agreed to
the pay increases and the
government had agreed to a
compensatory increase in the
price of coal.
Reds Urge Force
The Communist effort, this
correspondent was told, is to
convince the workers that pay
improvements can only come
by direct action, turmoil and
strikes. A pattern would thus
be set in other industries
across the nation to "spread
the infection" and to demon
strate that raises can only be
had by the use of force.
The chief of state was ap
parently in good health and
spirits despite rumors to the
contrary.
"Communism has Spain as
its special target because my
country is the only one in
the world where militant com
munism was met head-on and
decisively defeated," Franco
said.
Reviewing the events lead
ing to the current lapor tur
bulence, this correspondent
was told that when the miners
asked for a pay increase
through their "sindicatos,
which in Spain are in effect
production unions, it was ob
viously necessary to increase
the price of coal as an imme
diate result.
Poor Producers
The coal is low-grade and
the mines generally such poor
producers that governmental
subsidies already are neces
sary to keep most of them
operating. These mines, this
correspondent learned, will
probably be the first casual
tics if Spain is admitted to
the European Common Mar
ket, which will make it neces
sary to relocate the workers.
There was general agree
ment that an increase in pay
for the miners was indicated
by the nation's improved
standard of living, but the
complexities of setting a high
er price for coal had to take
into consideration also the ef
fect upon related and inter
dependent industries includ
ing gas and cement, General
Franco said.
A formula was eventually
evolved and the pay increases
approved. Before they could
go into effect, however, a syn
dicate of metalurgical work
ers was given a raise as a
result of entirely separate ne
gotiations. This raise for the
steel and other workers was
a simpler proposition because
the steel mills have been mod
ernized and production per
man increased, an impossibil
tiy in low-grade coal.
Reds Enter Picture
Prague Radio entered the
picture at this point, the chief
of state said, by attempting
to assume direction of the
Asturias coal strike from be
hind the Iron Curtain.
The Red radio claimed the
only way to get the difforen
t i a 1 reestablished was by
strike. This, he said, was de-
spite the fact the pay increase
for the miners had been
agreed to by the mine owners
and the sindicatos with the
government a party to and

"Seed production areas are
being developed in Arizona,
Idaho, eastern Oregon and

Planners Discuss
County's Part in
Urban Area Plan
Jackson county's participa
tion in a federal program of
urban area planning was dis
cussed last night at a meeting
of the county planning com
mission. Known as the 701 project,
the program was set up in
1954 under section 701 of the
Housing Act which establish
ed a federal program of urban
planning assistance.
Last year, the county sought
assistance under the program,
and in April was notified of
the approval of its application
by the Housing and Home Fi
nance agency.
Bear Creek Project
Local work will be known
as the Bear Creek Urban Re
gion planning project, and
will be directed by George
Brenner, planning director
from the bureau of municipal
research. University of Ore
gon, Eugene. He is expected
to arrive some time this
month.
The federal program will
be completed in less than two
years, it was explained, dur
ing which time a comprehen
sive study plan of the valley
floor will be compiled. This
will include an arterial roads
program, land use study and
economic base study. The pro
gram, costing $1 of local mon
ey for each $2 of federal
money, will expedite the com-
I prehensive development
study, and will coordinate all
