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

Mrs. Finkbine, mother of

cause she feels she will have
a mental breakdown if she

believes may be deformed be
cause she took thalidomide.
Today, the Phoenix tele

State Medical Board.

Los Angeles last Sunday to

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.

MRS. 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.

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.
