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.
August waterborne ship
ments from Oregon, Washing
ton and California to the At
lantic coast totaled 42,777,643
board feet compared to 65,
029,633 board feet from Brit
ish Columbia.
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

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

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.
He said Census Board figures
were based on-residential con
struction, residential electric
meters, grade school enroll
ments and regislercd births
and deaths.
About, one in five Ameri
cans moves each year, accord
ing to the Census bureau.
