YVONNE FRANKLIN Mail Tribunt Washington Bureau Washington (Special) - Con gressman Walter Norblad has changed his mind about the Peace Corps. "I am perfect ly willing to admit I made a mistake in voting ainst it in the first place," said Norblad after voting lor an a u thorization for $83.75 mil lion for the Peace Corps for 1963. He said that last year he was afraid of "fuzzy pink cheeked or bearded youth who wouldn't be competent to do the job," but now he thinks the Peace Corps is "doing a good job Just from what I have read and heard about it." He also heard from his 22-year-old son, Al, a University of Oregon student who will be going into Willamette uni versity next year as a law degree candidate. "My son really gave me what for!" admitted Norblad ruefully. Norblad was the only Oregon member of Con gress to oppose the Peace Corps when it was established last year. He had thought his vote last year against the Corps was Justified, especially after the Marjorie Michel, more - Nigeria- poslward epi. ode, but has since recon sidered.

Applications Coming He said that since March, 1961 over 20,000 Americans have volunteered "to serve their country in the Peace Corps," and that applications are coming in at the rate of 2,000 each month. His budget must yet pass under the needle-eye of Rep. Otto Passman (D-La.), the southern gentle man who Appropriations committee, and who is a formidable fop of foreign aid.

MEDFORD. OREGON O O O Population Growth Study Sees Need forEfxpanded Research fHURSDAY, MAY U. 1962 Washington - The United Statcwas urged todaj to ex pand substantially public funds for research in fertility and population control and its relation to economic growth. This was one of the princi pal recommendations of a newly published study - an evaluation of the relationship of population growth and eco nomic development. The study, published by the Cen ter for International Eco nomical Growth, was author ed by Dr. Joseph M. Jones, economist and research con sultant, and carries a fore word by Eugene Black, presi dent of the World Bank. In the United States the total amount spent on re search in this field from pri vate and public sources com bined is less than $6 million annually. Very little of this comes from public funds while the United States gov ernment alone spends more than $84 million a year on health programs in the under developed countries, the study reports. Scientists have pro posed that at least $12 million more be made available an nually for fertility research programs, including programs to perfect the rhythm method sanctioned by the Roman Catholic church. More demographic re search is needed, and more research into the relationship between p o p u lation growth and economic development," the study states. "More bio logical research is needed to discover and develop effective methods of fertility control. More social research is needed to determine the fertility dy namics of different cultures." "Without doubt private foundations and agencies can increase their contributions to research in this field, and there are indications that they are moving to do so. But many people, including both Catholics and non-Catholics, are oi me view that govern ment support is needed to sus tain an adequate program." The report documents of ficial thinking in the United States on the population prob lem, citing the Draper com mittee report in 1959, and more recent statements by President Kennedy, Under Secretary Ball and other lead ing administration officials in dicating acute awareness of the seriousness of the popula tion problem. The study declares that "there appears to be wide biologk-() research, although there are Inferences, which are capable of being rftolved, on the extent to which certain kinds of biological research should be supported by public funds." As a major step in securing agreement among principal American religious groups on a public policy for dealing with the population problem, the report suggests that it would be "appropriate and useful" for President Kennedy to convene, under White House auspices, a conference agreement between Catholics of religious leaders and spec- and non-Catholics on the need ialists in population, public for more research, including I health and research. It quotes John D. Rockefel ler III, chairman of0the Popu lation Council and one of the principal contributors to re search inhuman fertility, on the need for government sup port to supplement private contributions to research. Prime Minister Nehru of In dia, President Ayub Khan of Pakistan and other leaders of t h e underdeveloped nations are also quoted on the urgent need for simple techniques of population control. "There is urgent need for the scientifically and tech nologically advanced coun tries to expand research into i all aspects of the population problem and to put increasing knowledge at the disposal of thoseQwho need and want it," the report declares "This is also an obligation, for unless the- countries do it, it will not be done, and the under developed countries will be denied the fruits of science in tackling their problems." Attainment of the United Nations' goal of a 5 per cent annual economic growth rate by 1970 in underdeveloped countries will require a doubling of today's flow of foreign aid and investment and enormous increases in domestic savings. "With the industrialized countries growing richer, with living conditions for the aver age family In the underdevel oped countries improving al most imperceptibly, If at all, ana wun population pressures on hand, living s:ce and frontrs mounting." the study states, "It is difficult to en vision a peaceful, prosperous and orderly world." In a foreword he declared, "the present surging increase in population . . . threatens directly the success of the greatest enterprise of ortr day - the international develop ment effort which is attempt ing to provide tolerable living standards to that two-thirds of mankind which is now almost always in want. If this enter prise fails, the consequences for our own comfortable civili zation will be grave." C 5 e more you can save during this big event!

Fujita, the only enemy pi lot ever to bomb the United States mainland, flew in from Honolulu with his wife, Aya ko, 47, and son and interpre ter, Yasuyoshi, 25. Twenty years ago Fujita, flying a small plane launched from a submarine, twice bombed forests in the south ern Oregon coast In futile ef forts to start major forest fires. Today at the airport the mayor of Brookings, Ore., the town nearest the hnmhprl 4r,r. ests. and the nresirint nt th Junior Chamber of Commerce tnere, were on hand to warm ly welcome Fujita back. Opposition Decreases Dr. William McChesney, the Jaycee president, said op position by some Brookings war veterans to the visit has "quieted down." Jaycees rais ed money to finance the trip. McChesney and Mayor Fell Campbell were to take the Fujita family to Brookings to day where they will attend the annual Azalea Festival Saturday and Sunday. Fujita, wearing a broad smile, was met at the airport by a small crowd which also included newsmen, some Japa nese and Howard Traver, ex ecutive assistant to Portland Mayor Terry Schrunk. "I just want to express thanks to all of you for all of your kindness," Fujita said, speaking through his son. "I just want to meet all of you and express gratitude to all of you." His son said that when his father read accounts of oppo sition to his visit he was frightened at first but became reassured after exchanges of letters with people in Brook ings and did not worry any more. Giving Sword Away A highlight nf Fiitltn'. ..tell will be presentation next Mon- aay oi nis prized Samurai sword to the people of the Brookings area. The sword, which Fujita carried on his bombing missions In 1942, normally would go to his son. ine son said today, "if giv en to me it is only a posses sion. But If given to the peo ple of Brookings it must hnve much meaning. So I concur with my father's wishes." The busy schedule at Brook ings also called for the Fu jitas to visit the Redwood forests, flv un the private plane - probably over the area bomherl In loioi nnrf a trip ud the Rodin riunr hv mail boat.
