pain Oounts 368 Dead in Flood; Asks U.S. Air Force Aid Kennedy Given Full Backing To Deal With Military Build-Up by Communists in Cuba Washlngton-WD-President Kennedy had full congres sional backing today for whatever steps he considered necessary to deal with the Communist military built-up in Cuba, including use of U.S. troops. The House completed con gressional action on a Cuban f i g h t-if-we-must resolution Wednesday. It cleared the House by a 384-7 vote. The Senate had passed it previous ly, 86-1. Opponents contended the resolution was not strong enough. Criticism Not Indicattd The lopsided House vote did not indicate the strong criticism of Kennedy which preceded it. Many lawmakers, especially Republicans, said he was not being tough enough in handling the Cuban situation. Lumber Shippers Gaining Market Seattle (UPD North west lumber shippers appeared to be gair..ig back some of the Atlantic markets from British Columbia, according to figures released by the Pacific Lum ber Inspection Bureau. But the PUB Indicated the gain was very slow.

The Pacific coast share of the market equaled about 40 per cent, about the same as for July but well ahead of January and April when U. S. shippers had only 28 per cent of the East coast market. All water shipments from B. C. decreased during the last three months, while U. S. ship ments increased. The PUB indicated that Canada has been aiming more shipments at Britain and Japan. The President had few de fenders, but one of them, Rep. Emanuel Ccller (D-N.Y.), urged the American people to put their faith in Kennedy and ignore "the paper mache generals." , Before sending the resolu tion to the White House, the House defeated 251 140 a Republican effort to "Strengthen" the proposal by declaring the Soviet military build-up in Cuba to be a clear violation of the Monroe doc trine. Administration supporters said was the not Thomas E. Morgan (D-Pa.), of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that "the rulers of the Soviet Union will get the message." In Its final form, the reso lution amounted to congres sional approval of any steps Kennedy might take should the Soviet arms build-up in Cuba reach aggressive or of fensive proportions. Practically Unanimous GOP House members made their bid for a stronger lead ership. Chairman Charles B. tougher language , Hoeven (R-Iowa) of the House needed. Chairman Republican Conference said support of the move was "practically unanimous." As it came to the House floor, the Cuba resolution was worded merely to serve notice on Russia and Fidel Castro's regime that the Rogue Valley Edition MEDFORD, Page 2-A Tribune United States will tolerate no aggressive moves, or defen s i v e build-up, threatening hemispheric security.

Census Figure Shakes Schrunk Portland - OIPU - "This I cannot believe," said Mayor Terry Schrunk Wednesday about 1962 state census fig ures which show Portland losing nearly 2.000 population since the 1960 federal census. "The figures . . . show Port land declining at a rate 10 times faster than it has in the past decade," he said. "This I cannot believe." The 1962 board estimate was 370,906. The 1960 federal figure for Portland was 372, 676. The board's estimate could cost Portland some $40,000 in city-shared state money. The mayor challenged the board's methods of estimating and computing population. He asked Chairman Don Ellis of the census board a chance to present the city's estimates. Schrunk said gains have been made in the total housing in ventory. Richard Irwin, acting board director, said the city used only building ocrmits and demolitions in its estimates.
