Vancouver Milk
Said Displacing
Portland Sales
Dealers Request
Cut in Prices
Salem - (UPD - Milk and ice
cream dealers from Portland
told the Oregon Agriculture
Department today that milk
from Longview, Wash., is
pouring into Vancouver,
Wash,, and displacing Port
land sales.
The Portland Milk and Ice
Cream Dealers Association
and 13 individual milk deal
ers asked the department to
cut the price they have to
pay to producers by 12 cents
per 100 pounds of milk to
help alleviate the situation.
More Competitive
The requested cut - from
$5.92 per hundredweight to
$5.80 - would allow Portland
milk dealers to be more com
petitive with Washington
dealers, but Oregon produc
ers are fighting the proposal.
Dealers in Portland paid
$5.80 until April 1, when the
price to producers went up to
$5.92.
William F. Lubersky, coun
sel for the Portland dealers,
said that in January and Feb
ruary of this year three Port
land dealers lost a combined
total of $117,000 under the
$5.80 price -'which the state
controls - and if the price had
been $5.92 during those two
months, the same three deal
ers would have lost $143,000.
Leadoff Witness
Ho was the leadoff witness
at the department's hearing
on whether the dealers' peti
tion for a return to $5.80
should be granted.
Several hundred persons -
most of them milk dealers and
producers - attended the hear
ing, with dealer testimony
taken first.
The dealers are asking for
three things:
Withdrawal Urged
1. Withdrawal of the Port-
land-Salem area, Central Ore
gon and Corvallis, Eugene and
Roseburg from the one huge
Oregon milk market area
created by the department
April 1. The market area cov
ers nearly the whole state.
2. A cut in the $5.92 price
to $5.80 in the Portland
Salem market area, plus the
same cut in Central Oregon.
3. A cutback from the $5.96
price in Corvallis r Eugene
Roseburg, also to $5.80. The
$5.96 has been in effect in
these three sections since
Oct. 16.

Discussion of
Apportionment
Question Delayed
Matter on Agenda
For June 1 Meeting
Salem - (UPD - The Consti
tutional Revision Commission
Saturday delayed discussion
of the controversial legisla
tive apportionment question
until its June 1-2 meeting.
Several members said they
had not had time to study the
matter. They added they were
too weary from two all-day
sessions to debate it. A sub
committee had recommended
that the legislature be appor
tioned on the basis of popu
lation, with no legislative dis
trict containing more than
twice as many people as any
other district.
The subcommittee had
turned down the so-called An
nala Plan by which represen
tatives of less populous por
tions of the state are seeking
to place on the ballot this
fall.
Asked for Delay
It would entitle areas as
well as people to representa
tion in the House of Repre
sentatives. Commission proponents of
this plan asked for Saturday's
postponement.
Commission Chairman
George Layman, Newberg,
said the apportionment ques
tion would be placed high on
the agenda for the June 1 ses
sion here.
The commission is writing
new state constitution to
recommend to the next legis
lature. If the legislature fa
vors it, it will be passed on
to the people for their vote
in 1964.
Actions Listed
Among actions
the commission
taken by
Saturday
were:
An effort by former Gov.
Charles A. Sprague to extend
state representatives' terms to
four years was defeated.
Terms will remain at two
years.
All judges of courts ex
ercising judicial functions
will be selected by the gov
ernor and must be licensed
to practice law, although the
question of municipal courts
may be considered later
The state may be assessed
for "damages " it does to pri
vate property. At present the
state must "take" property
before it has to pay for it.
Transferred To Statutes
The liquor by the drink
section of the Oregon bill of
rights will be transferred to
statutes.
Provisions banning titles
of nobility and banning slav
ery were dropped as being
superfluous.
Defendants charged with
civil violations in municipal
courts will have all the rights
they would have if charged
with a crime in a state court.
Defendants in criminal
actions may waive jury trial
if they wish. At present the
judge may deny efforts by
defendants to be tried by the
courts without a jury.

Carpenter Will
Attempt Various
Feats in Space
Cape Canaveral, Fla. - (UPD
- Astronaut Scott Carpenter,
37, will take a supply of con
fetti, a beach ball-sized bal
loon and a flask of green wa
ter into space this month to
perform new experiments for
American scientists.
He also will temporarily
shut down his control system,
let his capsule drift and then
regain control, and perform
several turn-arounds of the
capsule to help refine tech
niques for future space
flights.
The Navy lieutenant com
mander relaxed this week end
while ' technicians repaired
the control system in his
spacecraft. He is due to be
rocketed into orbit next Sat
urday morning if there are
no further technical snags or
weather problems.
Flight Plant Told
During the week end, the
civilian space agency released
flight plans for Carpenter's
mission. The list of new ex
periments showed it would be
more than a carbon-copy of
astronaut John Glenn's ad
venture into orbit last Feb. 20.
Among other things, Amer
ica's next spaceman will fling
brightly colored confetti into
the heavens to see if space
plays tricks on the human
eye and to gather clues on the
luminous "firefly" particles
which Glenn saw in space.
The aluminum beach ball -colored
orange, white, silver,
yellow and phosphorescent
blue-green - will be towed
along behind his spacecraft to
let Carpenter report on which
colors show up best in space
and to observe the drag effect
of space on the balloon.
He will watch the water in
the flask to see how it be
haves to help engineers learn
how to construct fuel tanks
for future spacecraft.

trial basis. Lease cost is $400.
The home will be adminis
tered by the Sites Foundation
as an agency of the county.

"Where Did Thi. Darn
American Troops
Heading Toward
Thailand Border
Decision To Enter
Laos Still Pending
Washington -(UPD- The Unit
ed States continued its mili
tary buildup in Southeast
Asia today in the absence of
any "clear - cut indication"
where Russia stands on a
cease fire in Laos.
State Department spokes
man Lincoln White said the
United States believes the
Soviet Union could use its
influence on Laotian Com
munis ts to restore a cease fire
if it so desired.
No Reports of Advance
For the moment at least.
there was no fighting. Offi
cials said there were no re
ports today of any new Com
munist thrusts in the north of
Laos, where last week's action
took place.
As a precautionary move.
U.S. forces were on the move..
American troops in Thailand
were reported heading toward
the border with Laos as part
of President Kennedy's de
cision to draw a firm line
against further Communist
advances in Southeast Asia.
White declined to say
whether more Marines - now
part of a 7th Fleet task force
would be sent into Thailand.
He said only that "we are
working very closely with the
government of Thailand . . .
and they are in agreement
with the precautionary meas
ures that we are taking.
U.S. officials said the ques
tion of whether the troops
actually cross the Mekong
river and enter Laos depends
on whether the Communist
Pathct Lao rebels continue
their advance, or enter diplo
matic negotiations for some
kind of a settlement.
Not Planning To Enter Laos
Other sources said, how
ever, that the United States
had no intention "as of now"
of moving combat troops Into
Laos. But these sources said
that if the Communists sought
to cross into Thailand, it could
be assumed U.S. forces would
act to throw them back.
There was some confusion
here, possibly part of a de
liberate "keep 'em guessing"
policy, as to the precise line
at which this country would
join the fighting. As a prac
tical matter, it appeared to be
the Mekong river.
Asked whether Laos had
been written off militarily.
these sources said no. They
said U.S. military advisers
still were working with Lao
tian troops while Washington
tries through diplomacy to
get the warring Laotians fac
tions together in a neutral
government.
