Kennedy Calls
Dean Home To
Discuss Plans
Washington (UPIt President
Kennedy today reviewed new
data on nuclear test detec
tion with his top advisers and
then summoned chief negoti
ator Arthur Dean from Ge
neva to discuss the question
of whether to ease U.S. con
ditions for a test ban.
The White House said in a
terse statement issued after
the White House session that
Kennedy also had "asked for
certain supplemental assess
ments" to round out the .new
technical information laid be
fore him by his advisers.
White House sources said
"no final decision" was reach
ed loday on this country's
position. But Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger insisted there
was "no substantial disagree
ment" among Kennedy's ad
visers. He specifically denied re
ports of differences among
key Kennedy aides as to
whether the United States
should cut back its inspection
demands in an effort to win
a test ban agreement.
Advance indications were,
however, that Kennedy might
decide on puch action in a
move to get the Geneva talks
off dead center.
Dean was asked to return
to Washington for consulta
tion. He will return to Ge
neva by the end of next week
to resume negotiations with
the Soviets.

House Approves
Record Peacetime
Mililary Spending
Measure Now
Goes To Senate
Washington-lUPl-The House
voted final approval Thursday
of a record peacetime mili
tary spending bill of $48.1 bil
lion, including $191 million
for bombers unwanted by
President Kennedy.
The giant Defense Depart
ment appropriation bill-workout
by House-Senate eonfer-ees-now
goes to the Senate
for passage which would send
it to the White House.
It contains funds for the
1963 fiscal year which began
July 1 and is designed to spur
U.S. military might both for
space age and conventional
defenses.
The Air Force would get
S19.3 billion; the Navy and
Marines, $15.1 billion; the
Army, $11.5 billion, and the
combined defense operations,
$2 billion.
Clash Threatened
The controversial $191 mil
lion unrequsted by Kennedy
was ear-marked for speeding
development of the RS70 re
connaissance long - range
plane. This was the issue that
earlier this year threatened
to bring on a clash of wills
between the President and
Chairman Carl Vinson (D-Ga.)
of the House Armed Services
Committee.
Vinson at one time wanted
Congress to endorse a move
which would have ordered the
President to use the funds
for the plane. As it now
stands, Kennedy is not com
pelled to spend the money
unless he wishes.
Shortly before the House
acted, Vinson said the bill
"vindicated" the judgment of
his House Armed Services
that the Defense Department
should speed the development
of the supersonic RS70 war
plane, once known as the B70.

Being Prepared
For Ski Resort
A new prospectus is being

resort may be opened about
May 1 next year, according
to the forest service.
Bids were called previous
ly on the project, but no of

service officials said they be
lieve no bids were received
because construction of a
road to the area had not
started.
The forest service said that
in its new call for bids, the
bidder need not start work
until the road is completed,
or construction well under
way.
Once construction has start
ed, according to the forest
service, the bidder will be al
lowed to construct the facili
ty in stages over a five-year
period. Minimum facilities
such as a lodge building and
probably one small ski tow
will be required the first
year.
Eventual cost of the facili
ty is estimated about $300,-

cials said bidders would not
need that amount of capital

ceive the contract,

Duncan Applauds
Assistance Plans
Robert B. Duncan, speaker
of the House of Representa
tives and Democratic candi
date for Congress from the
fourth district, applauded the
administration's plans to as
sist the lumber industry in
the Northwest.
"The president has moved
to help the lumber industry
help itself keeping in mind
the broad overall national
policies," Duncan said.
"Increasing t h e available
slumpage, increasing access
road funds, and providing ma
chinery for reduced water
transportation rales are all
things which I urged during
the primary campaign and
discussed al the White House
last spring. This furnishes the
climate in which the industry
itself can increase Its produc
tion and ils competitive posi
tion not only with Canadian
lumber but wilh competing
forms of building materials.
This means jobs for the fourth
district.
"There are those who will
say that these proposals are
jnol enough but I am convinc
ed thai the lumber industry
I wants to help itself and that,
j freed from restrictions, il can
and will compete.
I "Senator Morse is to be con
gratulated for the prompt,
thorough and efficient consid
eration which he has given to
this problem and the results
which he has accomplished,"
Duncan said.

MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 27,
Greetings Exchanged Via
Telstar Telephone Call
Snider, Cagnasso
Talk in Historic
Use of Satellite
Mutual greetings were ex
changed yesterday afternoon
between mayors of two sister
cities - Medford and Alba,
Italy - in an historic telephone
conversation via the Telstar
communications satellite.

lis made by cities in the

mation agency made arrange
ments for the exchange be
tween the affiliated cities.

er, my dear friend Osvaldo,
let us hope that our friendship
may become even greater.
God bless you and the good
people of Alba."
Mayor Cagnasso responded

tent. Telstar Out of Range
The call was concluded
about 4 p.m. when an opera

Aid Proposals
Win Support
Of Congressmen
Voluntary Quota
Will Be Sought
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington (Special) A
new Kennedy administration
program to aid the northwest
lumber industry won bi-par
tisan support today, despite
some Republican irritation at
the way it was handled by
the Democrats.
A group of 14 Democratic
senators and congressmen
from Washington, Oregon,
Montana, California, Idaho
and Alaska, headed by Sen.
Warren G. Magnuson, met
with President Kennedy
Thursday evening in the cab
inet room to discuss lumber
industry problems.
Emerging jubilantly from
the 40-mlnute meeting, Mag
nuson and Sen. Wayne Morse
spoke for the group and said
they were "enthusiastic
about the new measures ap
proved by Kennedy. The chief
measures are:
To Seek Voluntary Quotas
1, The administration will
try to get Canada to impose
a quota voluntarily on Its
shipments of softwood lumber
into the American market
previously dominated by Pa
cific Northwest mills. Magnu
son said the President does
not have authority to slap an
immediate quota on Canadian
imports, as the industry and
northwest lawmakers have
urged.
2. The administration will
endorse legislation to modify
the Jones Act to help tide
water American mills who
have to pay higher rates on
green lumber water shipments
in American ships than British
Columbia competitors must,
pay In' cheaper foreign ves
sels.
Amalgamation ol Bills
The new bill will be an
amalgamation of bills intro
duced earlier by Sen. Maurine
Ncuberger (D-Ore.) and Rep.
Thor Tollcfson (R-Wash.). It
directs the secretary of com
merce to suspend the Jones
Act requirment on use of
American ships in intercostal
shipments when:
A. There is no U.S. flag
vessel available to ports or
localities to which cargo is
destined, such as between the
northwest and Puerto Rico;
or
B. Intcrcoastal water-'
borne shipments of such com
modity have declined more
than 25 per cent since 1950,
and there has not been a cor
responding Increase by a com
peting mode of transporta
tion; and
C. Watcrborne freight
rates to domestic ports avail
able lo foreign producers of
such commodity are at least
20 per cent below the tariff
rate filed by American car
riers for comparable dis
tances. Opposition Feared
Magnuson said he feared
opposition to this proposal
from railroad and trucking
Interests but hoped for favor
able congressional action this
session.
Congressman Toll e f s o n,
who was Irked because Re
publicans were excluded
from the White House con
ference, nevertheless en
dorsed both of these propos
als to aid the industry. The
Tacoma solon is the top Re
publican on the house mari
time committee which would
handle such legislation.
Among other measures ap
proved by Kennedy, one
would give preference to use
of American lumber in gov
ernment construction and for
eign aid programs - a device
which : lagnuson predicted
would provide an outlet for
millions of board feet of lum
ber. Also, the president direct
ed the Forest Service to re
port by Oct. 15 on an increase
In the allowable cut "to as
sure a continuation of tim
ber sales at or beyond the rec
ord levels achieved in the
most recent quarter of 1962."
He announced also an imme
diate increase of 150 million
board feet in the allowable
cut of Oregon's OAiC lands
managed by the Bureau of
Land Management.
