MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER II. 1962 A 7 Foreign Aid Squabble Reaction of Congressman Gives . Foreign Aid Officials Some Hope By DICK WEST Washington -H'PI- When President Kennedy sent his foreign aid message to Con- f$CT gress this IPM year, officials IP Slofthepro- 1 1 fm $4 Weil denounced gram were en couraged b y the reaction of Rep. Otto E. Passman. Their opti mism was bas ed on the fact that Passman the message as "preposterous." To you and me, this might seem like faint cause for re joicing. But to the foreign aid officials, "preposterous" seemed a milder expletive than Passman normally cm ploys. He normally denounces the foreign aid budget as either "idiotic" or "asinine." Some of the officials even entertained the hope that the Louisiana Democrat was soft ening his opposition to this type of spending. They found out, however, that you can't judge Passman by his adjec tives. A new volume of hear ing! on the foreign aid pro gram hat been published by hit House appropriations subcommittee. It shows that knitting hairshirts for wit nesses attempting to ex plain aid operations is still a favorite Passman pas time. One exchange that hooked my attention came when the chairman and his colleagues discovered that the U. S. gov ernment was sending aid to Yugoslavia under one part of the program and aiding refu gees from Yugoslavia under anothe: part. "Are we not finding our selves supporting all fac tions?" inquired Passman. "On what basis do you justi fy aiding refugees from a country that we are aiding financially?" chimed in Rep. George W. Andrews (D-Ala.). "I am afraid I cannot an swer that on the record, Mr. Chairman," replied Richard K. Brown, director of the ref ugee program who was in the Oswego Assailant Sent To Hospital Oregon City - H'PD - Hugh D. Hanna, 20, Lake Oswego, was found innocent by reason of insanity in Circuit Court here Monday to a charge of beating four children earlier this year. Circuit Judge Howard J. Blanding ordered Hanna com mitted to the Oregon State hospital at Salem for an in definite period. Hanna was arrested at Lit tle Rock, Ark., May 10 and was charged with beating the children with a tire iron at Lake Oswego. The children have recovered. 4m 1 ' f Golri"n Kninht JLj. 1 4 I? you'll be a . very special person in !

Passman then pointed out that "even in the United States we have refugees." "You could just about justify a refugee program for Louisiana because Tex as emigrants had gone into Louisiana." he said. "Would it not work that way?" "I do not think so," Brown responded. Personally, I think the ad ministration is missing a good thing by not bringing Louisi ana into the program. That might be one type of foreign aid that Passman would pass. Scientists Appeal For End of Testing Shingle Weavers Returning To Jobs Raymond, Wa?h.-(UPD-Union shingle weavers began to re turn to work Monday, ending the 10-week strike against shingle mills in Washington and Oregon. Clarence Romane, Ray mond, district council presi dent, said almost all of the strikers would be back the job by Wednesday. The union agreed to accept the Red Cedar Shingle In dustry Inc. offer of a 14-cent hourly raise this year and an additional six cents per hour on July 1, 1963. A flare-up involved 43 weavers at the Saganaw Shin gle Co. plant in Aberdeen Monday. Romane said the men "served notice of ter mination of employment on the company." But C. C. Rose, Saganaw president, said it was a "little misunderstanding among our own men." He said' he was sure they "would -be glad to come back" and change their minds about quitting. "Wages aren't involved," Rose said. "We're goinii to sign a contract like everyone else in the industry." United Nations, N.Y. lUPD A committee of scientists from IS nations - including the United States and Russia - has urged that nuclear testing be ended to reduce the threat of radiation to man kind. The group said it believed that "any dose of radiation, however small," is a threat to mankind. It said radiation from na tural sources, to which man kind has been exposed throughout history, remains the most dangerous of all and that the danger from medical radiation for diagnosis and treatment is in second place. The conclusions were ad- on vanccd in the second report of the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Ra diation. The first report was made in 1958. The new report will be con sidered by the 17th General Assembly, which meets here Sept. 18. Grants Pas Group!2ftJ!, To Study Parking Grants Pass - Twenty-five Grants Pass citizens, appoint ed by Mayor Charles B. Gil Jr., will meet Wednesday eve ning in the city hall here to organize a "Citizen's Commit tee on Off-Street Parking." An outgrowth of recent hearings in connection with the adoption of the city's new zoning ordinance, the com mittee will study and evaluate future needs for off-street parking facilities in Grants Pass. Considerable controv e r s y was stirred up in recent months by a planning com mission recommendation to the city council that the new zoning regulations contain provisions which require land owners to provide off-street parking space as a condition for new uses of land in the city. To resolve the situation, the provisions were stricken from the ordinance as finally adopted; and it was decided to appoint a committee of citi zens to make recommenda tions after a thorough study of the city's future parking problems. The committee was chosen as a cross section of citizens representing varying interests in the community. Regular meetings will be scheduled! until a majority report and recommendation are prepared. Target date for final report to the city council will be on or before Dec. 9. Civil Service examinations for several federal positions are now open, according to L. B. Nelson, examiner. Applications forms for the test for the positions of air commander (pilot), airplane navigator, digital computer systems administrator, digital computer systems operator, digital computer systems op erations supervisor, digital computer programmer, and for positions with the Civil Service commission, are now available from the examiner. Nelson's office is located in the Post Office building here. Schirra's Capsule Being Installed Cape Canaveral, Fla. -IUPB-The Bell-shaped space capsule that will carry astronaut Wal ter M. Schirra Jr. into orbit within a few weeks was sched uled to be installed atop a sil very Atlas booster rocket here this week, informed sources said. The critical mating of the booster and the capsule will signal the start of final checks of the space machine built to send Schirra on the most am bitious mission ever planned for an American six times around the globe, to a landing in the middle of the Pacific ocean. If all goes well, the Navy lieutenant commander will ride into space sometime to ward the end of this month, possibly either Sept. 25 or Sept. 28. President Kennedy will get a glimpse of the 93-foot rocket-capsule combination on his whirlwind tour of the cape Tuesday. A stop at launching pad No, 14, jumping off place for orbiting astronauts, is on the presidential itinerary.
