Rusk Assails
House Cuts in
Foreign Aid Bill
Washington -IUPD- Secretary
of State Dean Rusk today as
sailed House cuts in President
Kennedy's foreign aid bill as
"false and costly economy" in
a program vital to U. S. se
curity and welfare.
Rusk also said a House
amendment cutting off aid to
any country which trades with
Communist Cuba was a "strait
jacket" that would jar rela
tions with Free World allies.
It is "very important that this
amendment come out," Rusk
told reporters.
AH-Out Plea
The secretary of state went
behind closed doors with the
Senate Appropriations com
mittee with an all-out plea
for restoration of the $1.1 bil
lion cut by the House from
the badly mauled foreign aid
money bill. He said the full
$4.7 billion authorized by Con
gress and asked by Kennedy
for the aid program was a
"crucial part of our defense."
Rusk, obviously deeply con
cerned about the House cuts,
did not mention the Cuban
crisis in his 13-page prepared
statement. But he told report
ers that the House restriction
on shipping to Cuba by allies
was "the kind of amendment
that puts us in a strait jacket
and makes it difficult for us
to do our job with our allies."
The House by a vote of 249
144 approved the pared down
bill Thursday night.

Sharp Reaction to
Durno Letter Noted
At Council
A letter from Congressman
Edwin R. Durno recommend
ing favorable action by the
Medford city council on a re
quest for transfer of a liquor
dispenser's license, brought a
sharp reaction from Mayor
John W. Snider at last night's
council meeting.
The dispute resulted from
the plan of three Eugene men
to purchase the Tabu Dinner
House, 305 South Riverside
ave., which holds a class A
license, and transfer the op
eration to the Port O' Call,
North Front and West Fourth
sts., which the three intend
to re-open.

of the stand. The grandstand is being financed without
expenditure of tax money. More than 800 five-year season
tickets have been sold at $100 each. Medford Linebackers
have spearheaded the project, working with school of
ficials. Gene Orr, chairman of the ticket sales and finance
committee, will present the grandstand deed to Garner
Haupert, student body president, in exchange for a $1
check. Haupert, in turn, will present the deed to Keith
Hockersmith, chairman of the Medford school board.
Meeting
Murphy, as part of the offi
cial transfer procedure, had
to supply the city with sev
eral letters of reference.
Congressman Durno wrote
to Mayor Snider and the city
council on behalf of the ap
plicants and urged city offi
cials to grant the request.
Papers In Order
While all of the applica
tion papers were in order,
they were not submitted to
the city in time to include the
request on last night's council
agenda.
The council voted to waive
the council rule in order to
discuss the matter, but sev
eral of the councilmcu ex
pressed dissatisfaction with
the expeditious manner in
which the appkeation was
being presented. "This is too
hasty," one of them said.
But when it appeared the
council might grant the
license transfer request any
way, Mayor Snider spoke out.
"In my 12'2 years on the
council," he said, "I've never
seen such steamroller tactics.
I'm ashamed to be associated
with a council that would
take such action."
Postpone Consideration
Following his statement,
Councilman William Singlcr
moved to postpone considera
tion of the request until the
next regular meeting of the
council Oct. 4. The motion
passed by a 4 to 2 vote.
Mayor Snider today issued
the following statement: "I
must necessarily resent any
intrusion into city policy mat
ters from the congressional
level. I believe we should
keep local government a
friendly, simple and uncom
plicated matter between local
folks and the local govern
ment they 1 ave chosen to
represent them."
Anderson apologized to the
council last night and said he
and his associates had "no in
tention to steamroller" the
application.
Statement Issued
They issued a statement
this morning in an attempt
to "dispipate any possible mis
understanding about our mo
tives and procedure . . . ."
"We feel that the Port O'
Call can become a very gra
cious member of Medford's
family of fine restaurants, but
because of the type of restau
rant, and equipment already
installed, it requires a liquor
license to make it a going
concern. We are not asking
for a new license. We are
only requesting the council's
approval of change of address
on an existing license."
In reference to the Durno
letter, the three said in part:
"We were asked to provide
the police department and
city council with letters of
endorsement and recommen
dation, and if our source of
sponsorship rubbed anybody
the wrong way, it was unin
tentional, not an attempt to
wiejd undue Influence."

Two Eugene Boys
Picked Up After
Four-Day Spree
Two 13 -year -old Eugene
boys were lodged in the coun
ty juvenile detention home
yesterday, bringing to a halt
a wild, four-day spree during
which the youths -stole ve
hides in five different cities
and drove one of them across
the Oregon-California state
line.
The adventure started in
Eugene Monday when the
pair, in association with a
third boy, attempted to steal
a car. The third boy was
caught in the attempt, but the
other two managed to get
away.
A short time later, they
successfully stole another car
and drove it to a spot about
three miles north of Bend.
There, they drove the vehicle
off the highway, through a
fence, and concealed it in
some brush.
In Bend the next day, they
stole a hacksaw and sawed
through a gas pump nozzle at
a service station in an at
tempt to get some gasoline.
They failed at that, but later
Tuesday succeeded in break
ing open a truck and stealing
120 bags of beef jerky.
Stealing another car, the
pair drove to Klamath Falls,
where they abandoned that
vehicle and stole another one.
From there they drove to Dor
ris, Calif., on Wednesday.
In Dorris, they stole a pick
up truck and got as far as
Phoenix with it. About four
miles from Medford, they ran
the truck off the road and con
cealed it under some brush.
They walked into Medford,
stole another car, drove it
onto the freeway, stopping
just south of 12th st., when
they thought they had reach
ed a dead end.
Medford police officers
picked the boys up about 8:16
a. m. yesterday on Fir si.
The boys were taken to juve
nile detention home to await
arrival of their parents from
Eugene.
The pair gave statements to
officers admitting all their ac
tivities. A number of law en
forcement agencies, including
the FBI, will review the sit
uation to determine what ac
tion will be brought against
the runaways.

Cuban Resolution Sent to Floor
Of House; Amendments Barred
Gag Rule Used
To Curb Efforts
To Toughen Act
Debate Limited
To Three Hours
Washington - IUPD - Overrid
ing demands for an even
tougher stand, the House
Rules Committee today sent
the "fight if we must" Cuban
resolution to the floor under
a rule barring amendments
and limiting debate to three
hours.
The resolution already pass
ed by the Senate will be call
ed up Wednesday. Approval
was certain.
The Rules Committee re
sorted to the gag rule pro
cedure to prevent efforts to
toughen the language and pos
sibly include a directive or
dering a firm stand on Berlin.
Administration leaders felt
that such amendments might
have jeopardized passage of
the joint resolution.
The Rules Committee ap
proved the gag rule by an
6 vote. It overrode protests
of members calling for sharp
revision of the Cuban resolu
tion as drafted by the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
Pressure for Amendments
Foreign Affairs Chairman
Thomas E. Morgan (D-Pa.)
told the rules group he had
wanted to call up the resolu
tion in the House Thursday
or today but that this course
was blocked by protests of
members demanding the right
to offer and consider amend
ments. He said language in the
resolution, approved Thurs
day by an 86-1 vote in the
Senate, had been drafted
jointly by House and Senate
foreign affairs and defense
leaders and that he consider
ed 11 vitally important that
the House pass it intact.
Affirms Intentions
The resolution affirms U.S.
Intentions to block Commu
nist aggression from Cuba, by
force if necessary. Morgan
said it would serve notice on
Russia that this country will
not allow Cuba to be used as
a base for jeopardizing U.S.
security.
Also pending In the House
was a bill empowering the
President to call to duty up
to 150,000 reservists should
the tense Cuban or Berlin
situations warrant the move
while Congress is out of ses
sion. Democratic Leader Carl Al
bert said the reserve bill
would be debated Monday.
Seat Belt Drive
Set This Week End
Research of traffic fatalities
indicates that 30 to 60 per
cent of auto deaths could be
averted if the occupants of the
vehicles involved had seat
belts, Medford Jaycecs re
minded the public today.
The Jaycees are sponsoring
a scat bell "clinic" Saturday
and Sunday at the Medford
Shopping Center. Motorists
may purchase seat belts and
have them installed at $5 per
unit.
The risk of serious injury Is
five times greater for the per
son who Is ejected from a car
than it is for the person who
remains in his car at the time
of an accident, Jaycee leaders
said, quoting from the win
ning seat belt essay in a con
test the organization held last
year.
The essay, by Nancy Dun
can of 1500 Terrace dr., Med
ford, pointed out that In spite
of the presence of statistics
showing the value of scat
belts, less than 1 per cent of
America's motorists have
them installed.

Attorneys Ponder
Stand on State
Constitution
Coos Bay -IUPII- Oregon at
torneys tried to decide today
what stand to take on a pro
posed new state constitution
that many of them don't like.
Up for consideration at the
State Bar convention was a
report recommending rejec
tion of the work of the Oregon
Constitutional Revision Com
mission. .
An alternate report, made
public Thursday, called for
the Bar to make another ef
fort to work with the com
mission Instead of rejecting
the new constitution outright.
Rejection was recommend
ed by a special committee of
the Bar headed by Thomas
H. Tongue. The report said
the Bar lacked sufficient op
portunity to discuss provisions
of a new constitutional draft
with the commission.
The minority report noted,
however, "Revision of the
state constitution is a matter
of major importance to the
functioning of our state gov
ernment." The convention Thurs day
called for legislation to bring
the Stale Department of Mo
tor Vehicles and the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission
clearly under the Administra
tive Procedures Act. The act
concerns hearing of com
plaints and appeals.
The convention also called
for regulation of debt consoli
dation agencies by the bank
ing department instead of the
real estate department, and
for tighter regulatory laws.

Congressman Says
Money Being Lost
On O&C Timber
Washington -IUPII- A Texas
congressman has charged that
the federal government loses
money on timber sales from
the Oregon and California (O
& C) grant lands.
Rep. Albert Thomas (D
Tcx.), chairman of u subcom
mittee on deficiency appropri
ations, made the charge in
questioning Bureau of Land
Management (Bl.M). officials
wiib appeared before the com
mittee to seek a $525,000 de
ficiency appropriation.
"In terms of economics,
you could afford to give it
back to the lmlixns and save
the taxpayers' money," Thorn
as told BLM officials in testi
mony made public today.
The appropriation request
included $380,000 for expens
es Involved in offering a
larger allowable cut of timber
from the O&C lands.
Funds Needed s-
Harold R. Hochmuth, BLM
associate director, told the
committee that the allowable
cut had been Increased by 133
million board feet. The extra
funds, he said, were needed
for forest management work
Involved in offering the lim
ber for sale.
The additional limber would
provide $3.6 million In addi
tional revenues, Huchmuth
said. He said its "end product
value" was about $72 million
and would involve 1,600 man
years of employment. It
would provide "an important
stimulus to the economy of
Western Oregon," he added.
Thomas was joined by Rep.
Michael J. Kirwan (D-Ohio),
in questioning whether the
federal government was get
ting its fair share of Income
from the O&C lands, Kirwan
complained that most of the
return on the timber went to
the counties.
"You returned about 75 per
cent of it to the counties and
we appropriate for the man-
agment expenses," Kirwan
said.
James P. Bclrne, BLM as
sistant director, said the coun
ties were entitled to receive
up to 75 per cent but actually
were receiving only 50 per
cent. The additional 25 per
cent was being Ufcd lor im
