Prison Inmate Says OCI Needs More Counselors Salem -OIPli- A 21-year-old man under sentence to die in the Oregon State penitentiary gas chamber thinks there is a need for more counselors in the Oregon Correctional Insti tution and more parole offi cers who would give closer supervision. The views of Larry West Shipley, convicted of the mur der of a 16-year-old girl on the Oregon Coast last year, ap peared in a copyrighted story in the Salem Capital Journal. The paper submitted a list of questions to Shipley in the penitentiary's death, row. . Shipley said "I don't be lieve the officials at OCI (Ore gon Correctional Institution) could have done any more for me than they did." Load Too Heavy But he said that counselors at the institution have too heavy a load of inmates to do a complete job. Shipley also said Ihe Ore gon Board of Parole and Pro bation "did as much for me as they would for any other parolee." The young man said he be lieved his parents tried to understand his problems but were unable to do so because they could not be sure what they were and couldn't get his cooperation. Shipley said that he thought at the time he could take care of himself and rebelled against the parent's guidance and authority.

Kennedy Decision On Tax Reduction Seen Next Week Washington - lUPlt - The White House indicated today that President Kennedy will withhold announcing a final decision on whether to ask Congress for a "quickie" tax cut until some time next week. There have been unofficial hints that the chief executive is close to a conclusion that next year would be a better time for the tax reduction pro posal rather than seeking quick action this session. The chief executive, how ever, is expected to meet with some of his top economic ad visers Friday before leaving on a week end trip to Maine. Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said he did not want to rule out a decision by the President at any time, but he did not expect Ihe President to make up his mind until some time next week. The President had said that July economic statistics would be in hand by Aug. 10 and these would guide his think ing on whether to seek an immediate across-the-board cut in present tax rates. Getting To Point Salinger said this did not mean the President would make a decision precisely on Sherri Finkbine Continues Tests Stockholm -OIPli- Mrs. Sher ri Finkbine, 30. apparently did not realize the legal ob stacles to obtaining an abor tion in Sweden would be so time - consuming when she flew here with her husband. Mrs. Finkbine, mother of four, seeks the abortion be cause she feels she will have a mental breakdown if she carries to birth a child she believes may be deformed be cause she took thalidomide. Today, the Phoenix tele vision performer begins per haps three days of mental tests, the third stage of the procedure required by Swe dish law before a legal abor tion can be granted by the State Medical Board. Mrs. Finkbine and her hus band. Robert, a high school teacher and football coach, arrived here by plane from Los Angeles last Sunday to seek the abortion denied by authorities in the United States. BRIEFS MOUND THI OLOM x w of the sea, such as these Aug. 10. He pointed out that some economic figures would not be available until next week. The press secretary con ceded, however, "we are get ting to the point where the President is about to make a decision." A number of congressmen are convinced that Kennedy will put off any tax cut drive until next year. Oak Knoll Golf Course Purchased Ashland Operation of Oak Knoll golf course, Ash land, has been taken over by Northwest Pacific Develop ment corporation as part of the firm's plan for an Ash land retirement village, ac cording to William Dawkins, president. The lease for the course was purchased from the Por tcrfield family, and renegoti ated with the city of Ashland for a term of 33 years.

T 60 Days Given For Proposal of Possible Changes Advance Approval Would Be Required Washington UPI) The gov ernment today issued new drug testing regulations aim ed at preventing tragedies in this country such as thalido mide caused among newborn infants in Europe. . The proposed regulations, which would tighten govern ment control in testing pro grams involving humans, were announced by Health, Education and Welfare Secre tary Anthony J. Celebrezze. He said the drug industry, doctors and other interested parties will have 60 days to propose possible changes be fore the regulations take ef fect. Advance Approval The regulations provide for the first time that a manu facturer would be required to obtain advance approval from the Food and Drug Adminis tration for testing a new drug on humans. Frequent, detailed reports would be required on the progress of these tests. Failure to furnish such reports would result in automatic halting of experimental programs, Cele brezze said. The regulations deal pri marily with drug manufac turers and would not alter present rules which do not re quire a doctor to tell a patient when he gives him an experi mental drug. However, doctors who par ticipate in testing programs would be required to be thoroughly familiar with re sults of prior laboratory tests and experiments on animals before administering a drug. Must Keep Record! A doctor also would be re quired to keep full records on patients to whom he gives an experimental drug and to make such records available to the government on request, as well as making full reports to the manufacturer. The principal sections of the stiffcr ' regulations are these requirements: ' -Notification to the Food and Drug Administration and full details when a company begins testing a new drug by distribution to dortor-investi- gators. -Clinical investigation must be based on adequate pre clinical studies, including ani mal experiments, to assure safety. -Proper planning and ex ecution of drug trial with full reports on progress of the tests to the FDA. Present regulations do not require that the FDA be noti fied of new drug testing nor reports on their use. Billboard-Free Area Discussed Gold Beach -(UPD- More wit nesses testified today before the Oregon Scenic Area com mission on a proposed 117 mile billboard-free area along the state's coast. The commission opened two days of hearings at New port Wednesday. The propos al would bring about abolish ment of billboards during a seven-year period in sections from D e p o e Bay to Brook ings. The proposal ran inlo stiff opposition from the Oregon Coast association at Newport. Dan Aycrs of Newport, manager of the association, said "billboards are an econ omic necessity to the tourism industry." He said "tourism would shrink without them." Aycrs pointed out that one third of the 360-mile Oregon coast "is in public ownership and does not have bill boards." The Oregon Roadside Coun cil supported the proposal. David Charlton of Portland, a past president of the coun cil, spoke for the motion. Jackie, Caroline Dodge Protection Ravello, Italy -HIPP- Jacque line Kennedy today slipped away from a police-protected private beach with daughter, Caroline, 4.

IDA CANTOR End Came Suddenly Eddie Cantor's Wife Succumbs To Heart Attack Beverly Hills, Calif. -OJP0- Mrs. Ida Cantor, 70, known to millions through her fa mous husband Eddie Cantor's theme song "Ida," died Wednesday of a heart attack. Cantor, who also has a heart condition, collapsed when he learned of his wife's death. He was placed under sedation at his home with a nurse at his bedside. They celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary June 9. Mrs. Cantor, who had a long history of heart trouble, had been confined to bed since February when she suf fered a heart attack. She had at least four in the past sev en years, the physician said. "She passed away suddenly nd peacefully in bed," he said. "Despite her recent con dition, her husband still was overwhelmed and went into a state of shock." Cantor, also 70, was hospi talized for several weeks in September of 1080 after a heart attack. When Al Jolson died, friends did not tell him for several days for tear the shock might kill him. The popular barijo-eyed comedian also suffered a ser ious heart attack in 1953. He has been in semi-retirement since. McGrew Sawmill To Move to Ashland McGrew Brothers Sawmill, Inc., is tentatively planning a move to an Ashland site next year, according to t. ivic Grcw. The property lease on the present site, located on Bar- nett rd., will expire early In 1963, and will not be renewed The company may move to land adjacent to the Mistletoe plant in the Bcllview area of Ashland. McGrew said plans call for construction of a completely new modern mill. However, some of the present machinery will be transferred to the new operation. At the present time the mill is using the facilities of the Mistletoe planing mill and dry kilns. The move would place the company much nearer to these facili ties. Ashland city council indi cated this week that it would favor such a move when it reviewed a letter from the firm requesting a lease on the 15 city-owned acres formerly used as a log deck by Fir Milling company. About 75 persons arc em ployed by the mill. The com pany obtains its logs from the Forest service and O and C sales. Ashland Discusses Fluoridation Issue Ashland-An ordinance was passed by the Ashland city council this week to allow circulation of an initiative pe tition calling for fluoridation of the Ashland city water sup ply. Fluoridation was an Issue In the city several years ago, and the proposal was defeated at me pons. An emergency was declared I by the council in order to pass i Jtne ordinance. It requires that petitions have legal signatures totaling 15 per cent of the number of voters for mayor in the last election. In addition, a $200 deposit must be made with the city, which will be returned if the initiative pro posal should win. Under the ordinance the pe tition must be filed within 70 days, and have about R00 sig natures. If the initiative ful fills the terms ol the ordi nance, it will be placed on the November ballot. oil uted Wilderness Large Areas Would Be Kept In Natural State Proposal Allows Greater Access Washington -IllPIl- A House Interior subcommittee today approved a wilderness bill de signed to preserve millions of acres of public lands in their natural state. But one subcommittee source said the legislation was a much weaker conservation measure than the bill already passed by the Senate. The source said the bill meant a 50 per cent reduction in the acreage which could be declared a wilderness area. He also said that the subcom mittee proposal would give miners, cattlemen and lum bermen an even greater ac cess to areas to be preserved than they now enjoy. Rep. John P. Saylor (R-Pa.), a chief supporter of the administra tion-backed plan, refused com ment on the subcommittee's action. The Interior committee was unable to provide newsmen with copies of the new propo sal approved by the public lands subcommittee. The legislation approved by the Senate would have given the President authority to de clare large tracts of public land-controlled by both the Agriculture department and , the interior department - as wilderness areas. As such. their use would be severely restricted. Under the Senate bill, min ing, grazing and lumbering would have been greatly cur tailed and activities such as road building and the estab lishment of commercial enter prises would have been for bidden. The House measure, accord ing to the committee's press release, would only apply to UIU3C itlllUS VUIIlIOIICa OV inC agriculture secretary. Various commercial inter ests in the western states are strongly opposed to the Sen-t ale's wilderness bill. Rep. Grade Pfost (D-Idaho), said in a statement that the legislation approved today by her subc o m m i 1 1 ec would guarantee the preservation of large areas in their natural status while at the same time assuring "limited use for oth er purposes including the dis covery and development of any minerals that may be present there." The bill would also permit limited hunting, fishing and grazing.
