Proposal to Reduce Food Allowances for Dependent Children Arouses Protests Astoria-IUPD-A proposal to reduce allowances lor lood (or the "aid of dependent chil dren" program under the Results of Road Tests Are Studied After more than a year of computation, final result! of what is considered to be the most significant road test ever conducted in the nation have been made available and are now under study by the Ore gon highway department. A cooperative state-federal-industry effort, the $27 mil lion research project took 29 months of continuous testing to seek answers to questions on the performance of con' crete and asphalt pavements under controlled traffic con. ditions. It was sponsored by the American Association of the State Highway Officials, and represents an unbiased study which ia expected to affect highway design for years to come. Although 11 was keyed pri marily to freeway traffic con ditions, the test provides sig nificant information to city and county engineers as well as to slate highway officials. Traffic on the test sections ranged from small pick-up truchs to tractor-aeml-trailcrs heavier than any legally using the road today. More than 30(1 million pieces of information measur ing various effccls of traffic were recorded at the tent site near Ottawa, 111. Pavement sections which survived the experiment had been subject ed to some 1.1 million load repetitions. i State Welfare commission brought protests from county administrators here Friday. The proposal was contained in a preliminary report on re examination of allowances. It proposed a reduction for a family of four to S3 a day. Administrators from six counties attended the commis sion meeting here. No action was taken on the proposed reduction and the matter was referred back to the staff, (or study. Only the ADC program came under discussion. A re port by Mrs. Geraldine Der by, assistant administrator, said it would be possible to make some revision In keep ing w'i-h a low-cost diet rec ommended by the Bureau of Home Economic for the U.S. Department of Agriculture She made no recommenda tions on the changes, how ever.

Jury Dismisses Shortage Case At Guard Camp Oregon City - IUPII - The Clackamas County grand jury dismissed the Oregon National Guard Camp Withycombe case Friday. The grand jury failed to take any action on an alleged shortage of $6,000 worth of surplus equipment at the camp. The decision was made following a two-day hearing. Clackamas County Dist. Atty. William Schumakcr said the ca?e was closed as far as the stale was concerned. How ever, he said it could be re opened if new evidence turn ed up. More than 20 witnesses ap peared at the hearing includ ing Mrs. Aurelia E. Hintz, the widow of Maj. Gen. Alfred Hintz, former Oregon Nation al Guard adjutant general, and Lt. Col.

Mark Hatfield order ed state police to make a probe and asked Clackamas County authorities to take ac tion. " In Salem, Kliever said' he would have a statement on the case Monday. Solons Threaten Action If Canadians Refuse to Cut Lumber Exports to U.S. Washington - IUPU - Lumber country senators, rushing to answer an appareni false alarm, have made it clear they will demand tough counter measures If Canada refuses to cut back its lumber exports jto the United Slates. They Indicated they would make lumber an issue in de- debate on President Ken nedy's trade expansion bill, one of the President's key legislative programs. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) told the Senate he "understood" that the Cana dian government had rejected Kennedy's proposal Friday for U. S. -Canadian negotiations On the lumber trade. The "understanding" turned out to be incorrect, or at least premature. State Department and Canadian officials said no reply had been made. Ottawa - lliril - Canada views as "an extremely ser ious matter" a proposal by President Kennedy that this country p 1 a c voluntary quotas on its lumber ex ports to the United Slates, Finance Minister Donald Fleming said Friday. "Then sales ro a vary important aliment in our exports and consequently in our balance of payments position," he said. "I can't over-estimate thair Impor tance." Fleming made the slale man! to newsman following a cabinet committee session at which it was believed Kennedy's proposal was discussed. But it was no secret that Canada was cool to the idea. Nor was it any secret that congressmen from the Pacific Northwest which have been steadily losing lumber mar kets to Canadian mills, were thinking in terms of imporl quotas and tariffs. "We have an obligation . . . to do all we can to protect the economies of our . . . states from this unfair competition," Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) told the Senate. Morse said that if the Cana dian government turned down the negotiations request, the lumber industry problems would come up during debate on Kennedy's trade bill. Magnuson, chairman of the Senate Commerce committee, told UPI later that among the possible legislative proposals were: Giving the President authority to set import quotas without Tariff Commission ac tion, and direct imposition of a tariff by Congress. Morse charged that the situ ation was "a crisis created by Canada" because of Canadian subsidies to British Columbia lumber mills. He said the United States loaned Canada "many millions of dollars" last month when Canada needed foreign ex change to bolster its balance of payments. "I regret that we loaned Canada a thin nickel," Morse said. "I regret that we loaned anything if that is going to be the attitude of the Canadian government." Kennedy's negotiation pro posal was one of six he made to aid the ailing Pacific Northwest lumber industry. Other steps included: Revision of U.S. shipping laws, which lumbermen charge give Cana dians the advantage of cheap er transportation; a "Buy American" policy in defense and other federal purchases of lumber, and steps to make more lumber available and help the industry get government-backed loans. Western lumbermen said that Canada has increased its share of the U.S. softwood timber market from the tra ditional 10 per cent to 15-17 per cent of lumber carried by rail and about 70 per cent of lumber carried by sea - a total of more than $250 million.
