Kennedy hailed the House

reflected "the national char

Several Factors
Said Unusual
In Aid Grants
Mrs. Frank Bash
Asks New Report
Salem-tUPU-A special report
on the unusually high Aid to
Dependent Children welfare
caseload in Marion county was
rejected today by the state
welfare commissioner who re
quested it, Mrs. Frank Bash,
Medford.
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.

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

told today that Oregon won't

The smaller balance was
predicted by the State De

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.
