Congress to Support JFK's Reserve Call-Up Authority Washington - (UPD - Con gress has indicated that it would -go along with Presi dent Kennedy' request for reserve call-up authority but minus any enthusiasm. Administration leaders in the House and Senate prom ised their full cooperation. Many Republican congress men, however, were of a dif ferent mind. They pointed to last year's mobilization dur ing the Berlin crisis and the subsequent criticism of the way that call-up was implemented. Nevertheless, there was lit' tie doubt that Congress would grant Kennedy's request for authority to: -Extend for one year the enlistments and periods of service of any member of the armed services or National Cuard whose tour of duty would expire before next Feb. 28, 1963. Asks Prompt Action Kennedy said the authority he sought was necessary "to permit prompt and effective responses, as necessary, to challenges which may be pre- INSTALLED WHILE-U-WAIT 0 0 If VMUFFLERS SHOCKS W SEAT BELTS ARMSTRONG TIRES PEN SUNDAYS TIM FT AUTO SUPPLY M.dford, 801 N. Rivarside-Grants Pass, 529 S.E. 6th sented in any part of the free world." He urged Congress to act as promptly as it did in the last Berlin crisis. The request came as con cern grew over two trouble spots Berlin and Cuba. In Berlin, Russia has so far re fused to engage in Four Power talks on violence over the Berlin wall. And in Cuba, a buildup of Soviet arms caused Kennedy to issue a statement last Tues day in which he warned both countries that the United States would not tolerate any aggressive acts in the Western Hemisphere. Not Immediate Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont., em phasized that the President had no intention of calling up any reserves immediately. Mansfield, who along with Republican leaders was briefed on the plan Tuesday, said Kennedy wanted the standby authority to cover Congress' adjournment per iod. The House and Senate are expected to adjourn in a few weeks and return in January to begin organizing the new Congress. Under the proposed bill sent to Congress, no member of the "ready" or paid re serves who was involuntarily called to duty during the Ber lin crisis would be called in voluntairly now. Reservists called up in the 1961 crisis were released less than a month ago. On Drill Pay Additionally, the Defense Department hopes to confine any new call essentially to reserves who are on drill pay status. Many of the bitterest complaints last year came from among the 38,000 indi vidual Army reservists who were called to fill in gaps in callcd-up units. They had not been receiving drill pay and objected to the fact that they had to leave their Jobs and homes while many men on a I pay status remained civilians. State Expected To Have Less Surplus In Current Budget Salem -JUM)- Oregon will have a smaller surplus in its current budget than antici pated when the 1961-63 budg et was prepared. Ex-Ambassador To Russia Undergoes Kidney Surgery Air Force Academy, Colo. -JUPD- Former U. S. Ambassa dor to Russia Llewellyn E. Thompson Jr. underwent kid rey surgery Saturday night tor removal of stones wnicn have caused him severe pain since he was stricken by an attack last Tuesday. A team of military doctors from Fitzsimons General hos pital at Denver, Ft. Carson Army hospital, near Colorado Springs, and the Air Force Academy hospital wheeled Thompson into the academy hospital s operating room at 8 p.m. (MST). . He weathered the operation in good condition and was re ported resting easily. Doctors decided to operate earlier Saturday when at tempts to dissolve the stones failed. An academy spokesman said Thompson would remain in the hospital for about two weeks. The former ambassador was stricken while playing golf on the academy course. He has been in Colorado resting and vacationing after five years in the Soviet capital be fore accepting another State department assignment. Group Recommends Sharp Look At Aid to Dependents Program State Finance Director Free man Holmer has announced the state surplus at the end of June, 1963, is expected to be $590,427. The legislature had expected a $1.6 million surplus when it prepared the budget. Holmer appeared before the Legislative Fiscal committee. The committee also heard a report that state income tax collections will be more than $16 million below what was estimated when the budget was prepared despite August tax collections 19 9 per cent above those of a year ago. Tax Commission Chairman Charles Mack told the com mittee the combined July and August collections were $20.$ million 9.4 per cent above year ago. Light Month September normally is a light month for collections and Mack expects that at the end of the first three-month quarter of this fiscal year the tax collection increase will be about 10 per cent. While tax collections for the biennium-are below esti mates, other "revenue sources are bringing in more than an ticipated. Gift and inheritance taxes are bringing in $6.5 million more and liquor sales and li cense will account for an ex tra $3.6 million. And the state will be spend ing about $6.5 million less than authorized under the budget.

The committee didn't rec ommend the 1961 statute be dropped, but said it wanted the matter to come before the next legislature for further study. However, Rep. Victor Atiyeh R-Portland) said he would introduce a bill to eliminate the measure. The unemployment provis ion in the ADC program al lows the state to qualify for $20.81 in federal funds per dependent if the father is not working. Adopted Measure Opposition to the program stems from the possibility that Oregon may draw ADC recipients from other states not having the unemployment provision. Washington is tne only other western state that has it, and only 15 states in the country adopted the measure. Some members of the com mittee also felt that the pro gram encourages recipients not to seek work, since pay ments are higher than other forms of welfare. Could Be Costly The welfare commission es timates that elimination of the program could cost the state about $600,000 extra in the next biennium, for those now receiving ADC-UN as sistance would go on general assistance rolls paid out of state and county funds. The ADC caseload resulting from the unemployment pro vision averaged 2,440 persons for the first six months of 1962 and peaked at 4,839 in April. State Welfare Administrat or Andrew F. Juras told the committee that his staff is now splitting aul-uh pay ments to many families. He said part of the aid money is paid a family at the first of a month. If the father does not find work by the 15th of the month, the rest is paid. This way, he said, an unem ployed father is given incen tive to find work. If he finds work, Juras said, the rest of the month's payment isn't made, saving money for other cases. He said the split payment plan would be extended to other forms of assistance ad ministered by his department. The fiscal committee rec ommended that a sliding scale of allowed income by ADC UN recipients be adopted. At present a parent is consid ered unemployed ii ne cams less than $143 a month. The committee staff said the fixed income figure may encourage some on aid not to seek employment. SHIP IT LASME le et from Oakland, San Fran, ciico. Lot Anaalei and other California pointl.
