Chancellor Konrad Adenauer Secretary of State Dean Rusk that American-Soviet probing (Oregon State Highway Commission Photo) $167,683 Goal Set For United Crusade In Jackson A goal of $167,683 has been set for the fall United Cru sade campaign, according to Douglas F. Gordenier. Cru sade president.' This year's goal is $9,558 higher than last year's goal of $158,125, a 6 per cent in crease: Last year's goal Was over-subscribed by 2 per cent, Crusade officials noted. Gordenier said the cam paign goal does not meet agency requests by $2.1,602 this year. Last year's differ ence between agency requests and United Crusade alloca tions totaled $21,362. It was pointed out that the needs, as seen by an agency. are almost always in advance of lhe public's willingness to support such services. Agency services, and therefore their needs, vary each year; it is an unusual agency executive who cannot foresee service needs that should be provided, Gordenier said. Goal Is Compromise Realistically, the goal is a compromise between the amounts that the agencies can spend wisely and the amount that the Crusade believes can be raised. The goal is set high er than might be comfort ably raised, but not too high as to make it impossible of attainment, he said. During the last, nine years, the Crusade has increased its goal at an average of 6.6 per cent annually, or 59.4 per cent over the entire period. This compares with the 80.5 per cent average increase of all United Funds and Community Chests nationwide. I Brian B. Mullen, budget committee head, said alloca tions are Red Cross, S25.900; Arthritis and Rheumatism foundation. 51,300; Boy Scouts, S20.500; Camp Fire Girls, $5,100; Jackson County Family and Child Guidance clinic. $6,000: Girl Scouts. $12,270; Mental Health asso ciation. $1,200; Oregon Mcdi- AROUND THI OlOII and agreed in a meeting here today talks on Berlin should continue, FOREST FIRE DANGER TOMORROW KEEP OREGON GREEN County cal Research, $3,300; Oregon United Appeal, $21,800; Rogue Valley Council on Ag ing, $400; Salvation Army and White Shield home, $23,100; School of Hope for Retarded Children, $1,300; and YMCA $24,500.

Gor denier pointed out that cam paign and administration ex penses Were in 'the lower third of the average expense for United Funds of similar size. Allocations for the Family and Child Guidance clinic and the Rogue Valley Council on j Aging were not increased this 1 year because their requests were the same as last year's allocation. Other member agencies v,3re given increases ranging from S100 to $1,600. The Salvation Army and White Shield home received the highest increase, $1,600, followed by the YMCA, $1,400, and the Red Cross, $1,150.

Halleck of Indiana said earlier that the GOP would try to work out its own substitute for the defeated ad ministration measure.

Wickersham, one of the Democrats who voted for the administration bill, said Ken nedy told him the House ac tion "shows the Republicans are the obstructionists and they shoulder that responsi bility." Halleck told a n e w s con ference he assumed the pre sent feed grain program would be continued for an other year In any event.
