He said the bill "serv es the great interest of our country." and the House vote reflected "the national char acter of this legislation as well as its importance." ft was the biggest legisla tive victory Kennedy has scored since he entered the White House. It just about clinched enactment of a law giving him powers to negoti ate bigger foreign markets for American products. Unless tariff barriers are lowered on both sides of the Atlantic there is danger that the Common Market will mean reduced shipments of U.S. industrial and farm pro ducts to Western Europe. Senate hearings on the House-passed bill will start week after next. Administra tion officials said they did not expect the Senate to adopt any crippling amendments.

The report, 'presented at to day's state welfare commis sion meeting by state welfare administrator Andrew F. Juras, was designed to ex plain why ADC in Marion county is second only to Mult nomah county, and in some respects higher. In Marion county, the aver age ADC grant in May was $163.31 compared to Mult nomah, the highest, at $164.69. Juras explained several factors in Marion county which he said were unusual. One, he noted, is that under Marion ADC grants there are five persons in each household on the average, compared to the statewide average of 4.6 persons. . . .. This. Juras said, means more mouths to feed, and big ger grants. Also, many chil dren of Marion welfare fam ilies are older, and in school, and this runs costs up. Wants Naw Report . Mrs. Bash said the report doesn't explain cost, figures satisfactorily. She called for a new-report this one to ex plain why Marion county case loads in the ADC unemployed parent program are six tiir?s greater than that of Lane, a bigger county. Marion county spent $32, 958 on ADC-UN. an offshoot of ADC, in May compared to $5,127 for Lane. Multnomah spent the most, $75,958. Juras said his staff would have the new report ready for the next meeting. The commission unanimous ly adopted a new system of alloting general assistance by counties, moving toward the "closed end" budget principle.

The President and Mrs. Barfletf Pear Picking Slated To Start Aug. 15 Picking of Bartlett pears will start about Aug. 15, County Horticultural Agent Clifford B. Cordy said today. The harvest usually starts about Aug. 10, but a scries of cool days following the full bloom of pear blossoms de layed pear development, he said. i Earlier, Bartletts were re ported small, but seem to be picking up in growth, Cordy said. This is particularly true where growers arc thinning to allow 40 to 50 leaves per fruit, he added. ; Bosc and Cornice pear crops will be light in some orchards In the valley because of a heavy drop earlier, Cordy said. Air Maiaal Cold A report from W. J. Rog ers, meteorologist with the fruit frost warning service, said "there have been few seasons when the air masses have been so cold, when the forecasters and growers have lost as much sleep, and with so few hours of firing and negligible frost damage." First firing was on April 2 and 3. Many times the clouds mov ed in with their protective cover just as the growers were getting ready to fire, Rogers noted. "Continued warm weather during the first week and a half of April brought full bloom which was nearly on the normal date. This warm weather continued, with only a few breaks, until almost the end of the month. The result was a bloom remarkably even throughout the valley. Bloom dates for D'Anjous, Bartletts, Cornice and Bosc were much closer together than usual. Pollination weather was ex cellent," Rogers said. : Budget Surplus Under Estimates ' Salem -IUPI- The Legisla tive Fiscal committee was told today that Oregon won't have a $1.6 million surplus i n July 1. 1963, as thought dur- ling the 1961 legislature. It's !521. The smaller balance was predicted by the State De partment of Finance and Ad ministration. The $579,521 Is a sharp contrast to the $33 million surplus the state had on hand at the close of the last bien nium. State Sen. Walter Lcth (R- Salem) suid this sounds like the 1963 legislature will have j t0 come up with $43 million i extra just 10 Keep aiaie er vices at present levels - the $33 million surplus that won't be available this time, plus a $10 million increase commit- ted to baste school support ! due to pupil Increases.

Estimated 20, Give Forth With Noisy Reception Presidents Slate Later Discussions Mexico City IUPI President Kennedy arrived today in Mexico to a tumultuous wel come for a meeting with Mex ican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos to plead for a "peace ful revolution" in the Western Hemisphere. An estimated 20,000 people cheered and rattled noisemak- ers as the presidential jet taxied to a halt on the ramp at Central Airport. The gaily colored airport erupted in a blaze of sound, with 21-gun salutes sending puffs of white smoke into the overcast sky. Anthems Played Mrs. Kennedy accompanied her husband off the plane and stood by him during the play ing of the Mexican and U.S. national anthems. The President's plane touched down 10 minutes early at 8:50 a.m. (PST1 after a four-hour flight from Wash ington. It taxied slowly on the field and the President did not alight until the scheduled 9 a.m. arrival time. To the ceremonial audience at the airport, Kennedy said: "To the American leaders of today is given the oppor tunity to mold a new revolu tion no less profound than that which gave us birth; not a revolution of force or feur, not the impositions of new tyrannies or new bloodshed -but a peaceful revolution which will demonstrate the creative capacity of demo cratic government to main tain a society where social justice and economic progress are servants of the dignity of man." To Counter Sentiment The emphasis on desir ability of social and economic change without tyranny or bloodshed apparently was in tended by the visiting Presi dent to counter some of the antl-U.S. sentiment in Mexico over the Kennedy govern ment's attitude toward Fidel Castro's Cuba. . Before departure, the Presi dent arranged an early morn ing meeting at the White House with Secretary of State Dean Rusk who returned Thursday night from an ex tensive tour of Allied caoitals in Europe. Rusk's report to the Presi dent may figure prominently in later discussions between Kennedy and Dopez Mateos wno does not share the U.S. outlook on several points of international policy. One ma. jor point of difference be tween the U. S. and Mexican presidents Is the fact that Lo pez Mateos does not regard Fidel Castro's Cuba as under Communist domination.
