By DICK WEST

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.

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.
