(UPD Presi dent Kennedy told a rip-roaring rally of-Minnesota Demo crats Saturday that the Repub lican parly has produced can didates whose slogans and programs represent "retreat -a method of sitting still." The President added this sharp note to a full day's de nunciation of GOP candidates for congressional and state of fices in Michigan and Minne sota when he appeared before some 21,000 wildly-cheering partisans here. Kennedy spoke to some 16, 000 of them in the cavernous Hippodrome of the Minnesota State fairgrounds. His talk was carried on statewide tele vision and also on a closed circuit to an overflow crowd of 5.000 in an auxiliary build ing across the street. They had paid SI a piece to attend the additional election year "bean feed" of the Democratic-Farm-Labor party to put funds into their state and local election drive. Votes No In a biting attack on the Re publicans on issues ranging from agriculture to aid to higher education, from the minimum wage to health care for the aged, Kennedy said: "I don't think we can find jobs for our people, educate our young people, provide se curity for older people when we have a party that votes no," Kennedy said. And he as serted that "no" is the only word Republicans use where his legislative program is con ccrned. iBRIEFS AROUND THI OlOM hi ft Sfl ... ,.;J 1 lf I Attacks Inaction His program is needed, he said, to "make this country the greatest country in the world, which it is and which it must be if we in this coun try and the world are to re main free." "America's strength is es sential, he said, because "for 17 years since 1945 the United States and to a large extent only the United States has stood watch . . . and contained the outward drive of commu nism."

Hurricane Daisy Blusters Toward Eastern Maine Washington - IUP1I - Hurri cane Daisy, packing winds of nearly 100 miles an hour near its center, headed toward northern New England Satur day night. After brushing Bermuda with its fringe winds, the storm took a course that if continued would bring it close to Eastern Maine and South western Nova Scotia late to day. The Air Force said two of its Texas Tower radar sta tions off Cape Cod had been evacuated and their watch taken over by picket ships. Vessels also were dispatched to keep a watch over the Morse Replies to Claim He Caused Loss of Projects Portland, Ore. fDPn The only reason three Oregon pub lic works projects got as far as they did in Congress was because of the efforts of him self and Sen. Maurine Neu berger, Sen. Wayne Morse (D Ore.) said Saturday. Morse issued a statement from his Portland office in answer to charges that he caused the loss of $500,000 for a start on the Blue river dam, $200,000 for construction of Yaquina dam and harbor and $100,000 in planning funds for lower Columbia and Wil lamette channel improvement. Those sums were knocked out of the public works bill Thursday by a Senate-House conference committee. Rep. Michael Kirwan (D Ohio) said Friday he had worked to scuttle all Oregon projects because he was angry with Morse and Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.). They had op posed his bill for construction of an aquarium in Washing ton, D.C. Persuaded Senate Morse said in his statement that he and Mrs. Neuberger had persuaded the Senate to include those three projects plus $145,000 for the Mason dam project and $20,000 for the Pendleton reclamation project in its version of the bill. "I am sorry to hear that Mike Kirwan of Ohio has publicly confessed that he re sorts to tactics of legislative b 1 a c k m a i I," Morse said. "However, Kirwan, acting alone, cannot stop any apr propriations in conference. The truth of the matter is that the House conferees, as a group, opposed, as a matter of policy, voting for approp riations ... in many states for which the authorization bill was still pending before the Congress. "The fact is that the Presi dent has not yet signed the 40-foot channel authorization bill." Returning to the bill which raised Kirwan's ire, Morse said: "Kirwan lost his head over the Washington, D.C, Aquar ium project." He said the $10 million Kirwan wanted for the project should have been used to meet the District of Columbia school crises or clean up the Potomac river, which he called "the most pol luted river of its size in the world." Slow Employment Decline During Next Employment is expected to decline slowly in Jackson j county through the next two months, according lo John J. I Pallon. manager of the Med- ford office of the Oregon state employment service. ! No major changes are rx- peeled and no major layoffs, ; he said. I County employment reach- ed its annual seasonal peak j in September, Patton said. A larger than usual demand icame for help in non-agricultural jobs plus the strong I and continuous demand for : fruit harvest workers in the ! pear and peach crops. : Rising Demand "The supply of unskilled labor was approaching a i bottom of the barrel' condi tion in the last half of the -vinth. Students had returned towers during Daisy's pass age. At 5 p.m. (EDT), full gale warnings were hoisted for coastal New England from Eastport, Maine, to Block Island. The Weather Bureau said coastal Maine should be on hurricane watch. A 6 p.m. (EDT) advisory said that Daisy is expected to move toward the north north east at about 20 miles per hour during the next six hours. Then it is expected to turn a little to a more north erly course with a slight in crease in forward speed. No change in size or inten sity is indicated. , At 6 p.m., the storm was located by reconnaissance air craft about 260 miles north west of Bermuda, moving to ward the north northeast at about 20 miles per hour. The highest winds are near ly 100 miles near the center. Hurricane force winds extend outward 80 miles, and gales out 350 miles to the north and east and 150 miles to the southwest. The Washington weather bureau said that winds over coastal New England from Block Island northward, and over southwestern Nova Scotia, will increase Saturday night reaching 50 to 60 miles per hour. Winds of up to 70 miles per hour are expected along the Maine coast today. Tides are expected to rise to four to five feet above nor mal this afternoon along the Maine coast and in southwest ern Nova Scotia. Heavy rains were likely today from East ern Massachusetts northward through most of Maine. The Weather Bureau added that "vessels in the path of the hurricane should exercise caution." The storm is heading into the New England area where a wind-whipped northeastern brought death and havoc on Saturday. 1,000 Voters Sign Up Before Deadline At least 1.000 persons regis tered to vote at various loca tions throughout Jackson county Saturday as the dead- ine for eligibility to vote in the Nov. 6 election passed at 8 p.m. Jackson county elections de partment workers were still processing the last day regis trations late last night and fig ures were not available. Mrs. Clarice Anderson, elections department deputy, termed 1.000 a conservative estimate. Work was expected to con tinue today. Saturday was also the dead line for filing of nomination petitions in several Rogue val ley city elections. Announce ments of any last-minute fil ings are expected early this week. Low-Yield Nuclear Device Is Exploded Washington - (UPD - A yield nuclear device low was dropped from an airplane near Johnson island Saturday in the 29th announced test of the current U. S. series in he Pacific. The Atomic Energy Com mission said the detonation took place at about 6 a.m. Hawaiian time (about noon EDT). Two Months j to school, many migrants bad left the area, and the con stantly rising demand for help exhausted the supply of per sons able to do the heavier work," Patton said. "The very large pear crop has resulted in a longer sea son than experienced in re It cent years." Patton added now appears that the picking season will continue past the middle of October. This adds about two weeks to the har vest period." Recruitment Efforts Demand for pickers has led to recruitment efforts in Calif ornia, Washington, and Idaho, but these areas also h a v e shortages. Patton noted.

In Havana, Mrs. Berta Bar reto, at whose home Castro and Donovan conferred, said that "perhaps today or Mon day an announcement will be issued. We are very optimistic, but until then nothing will be said." (In Washington, responsible Cuban exile sources said Cas tro has agreed for a price to release the 1,113 prisoners. But the State Department said it had no official news of the agreement.) Mrs. Barreto said negotia tions with Castro were "very advanced." ft was believed that Dono van may have persuaded Cas tro to lower the $62 million initially demanded as "indem nity" for the relatives of Cu bans killed during the inva sion and to agree to easier terms of payment. Proposed Barter Castro made the demand after failing to obtain from the United States tractors and agricultural machinery equiv- . a lent to that Amount in a pro- poied barter of "men for tools." Several exile organizations in the United States and Latin America have sought to raise the money, but they fell far short from the goal. About 60 Cuban prisoners have been re leased to help, the exiles in their fund-raising campaign. Donovan,, who last year ne gotiated the , release of U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers from the Soviet Union, came to Havana last Wednesday. Be fore leaving New York, he told newsmen he h o p e d to "complete arrangements" for release of the prisoners during this trip. The attorney reportedly has been trying to e ncourage Cas tro to accept food and medi cines In lieu of most of the re quested $62 million.
