Washington UPD- Russia's rapid buildup In Cuba of men, military technicians and mod ern equipment possibly in cluding ground-to-air missiles was watched by the United States today with some concern. Thornton Asks Extension of Swearing Law Salem - (UPH - Atty. Gen Robert Y. Thornton has recommended that Oregon's false swearing law be extend ed to cover welfare cases, to make it easier to prosecute cases of welfare fraud. The recommendation was made in a report to Cleighton Penwell of Salem, an analyst for the legislative fiscal com mittee. A similar proposal failed in the 1961 legislature. As the law reads now, false swearing statement can not be used alone to prose cute. The statement is made by welfare applicant regard' ing their financial resources, and eligibility for welfare payments. Inexpensive- Way The report to Penwell, drafted by Asst. Atty. Gen. Walter Fuchiagmi, head of Thornton's welfare recovery division, said the proposed new law "would provide a simple, inexpensive way to prosecute welfare fraud cases." The eight page report said some district attorneys have been reluctant to pursue fraud cases referred by the attorney general's office, and singled out Multnomah county. "The district attorney's of fice in Multnomah county has not taken action In some cases which we believe were clear cut cases of welfare fraud," the report said. Appling Questions Election Petition Salem IUPD A petition was filed Friday for the In dependent candidacies of Don ald Bellinger, Salem, for gov ernor, and Leslie Fleming, Eugene, for U. S. Senator. The .candidacies were immediately questioned by Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. Applinf, Oregon's chief elections officer, said a "valid question exists as to whether or not the Bellinger - Fleming convention was conducted as required by Oregon law." Appling said he has asked Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn ton for an opinion on the con vention's legality. The primary question being asked Thornton is whether the "recess" the nominating convention took in Albany Is valid. The recess lasted sev eral days, and nominating pe titions were signed Wednes day night. The petitions contained 297 signatures, 47 more than the required number to nominate an Independent candidate. "If these men were nomi nated in a legally constituted and legally conducted conven tion, their names will be cer tified to the ballot" in Novem ber, Appling said. "If the meeting did not com ply with the Inw, their names will not be certified."

Carver, an Idahoan who formerly served as Church's administrative assistant here, will be accompanied by G. Griffiths Johnson, assistant secretary of state for economic affairs. Dann Goldy of the commerce department, a for mer Northwest lumberman, will also travel with the group. Church said he had as-ked President Kennedy to appoint Carver one of the negotiators the last time he met with him at the White House to discuss this lumber import problem. "1 am gratified that two Pacific Northwest men who both have had lengthy experi ence with the lumber busi ness, will be on the delega tion," Church said. "Mr. Car ver has pointed out that the delegation cannot expect any major decisions from their first meeting with their Ca nadian counterparts, but has assured me he will get down to the 'brass tack' areas which first need to be established in the negotiations." The delegation goes to Ot tawa as part of a multi point program announced by Presi dent Kennedy to help the Pa cific Northwest lumber indus try at the request of Church and other lumber state sen ators. The Idaho senator also said a bill passed by the Senate last week which provides that 50 per cent of duties collected on imported forest products be used for timber marketing and production research, would be of major help help to the industry.

They said only that this coun try was watching the situa tion closely and with some concern. The buildup has come about rather rapidly, according to officials. Shipments began in late July and more cargoes are on the way. The develop ment apparently means Russia decided some months ago to give the Castro regime more support as at least a semi member of the Soviet bloc. Raul Castro, Cuba's armed forces minister, made a mys terious visit to Moscow last month and some Cuban ob servers feel he sought and ob tained the supplies. Moscow Radio has announc ed that a number of ships were sailing for Cuba.

The landing on the 3.000 foot Yazoo runway was with out incident. Passengers were given a bus ride to their desti nation in Jackson. Budd reported he passed over Yazoo City and made a circle to avoid a violent thun derstorm around Jackson. He said he then lined up his plane for the Jackson landing and put it down on what he thought was runway 17. Much to his surprise and that of his passengers and four other crew members the f o u r engine plane glided to a stop at Yazoo City.
