There has been only limited evidence of scare buying since President Kennedy told the Allowances Ok'd For Foster Youth By Welfare Group Portland - IUPU - Standard allowances under the Aid - to-Depcndent-Childrcn program for children in foster homes have been approved by the Oregon Public Welfare Com mission. The commission set allow ances of $57 a month for chil dren through five years of age, $67 for children six through 13, and $80 for chil dren 14-18. Because of the cost, the commission did not extend its standards to all children in foster homes. Statewide standards under the ADC pro gram are necessary if Oregon is to continue receiving sup porting federal funds, com mission chairman, Dr. Ennis Kcizcr said. In other action, the com mission recommended that able-bodied state welfare re cipients be made available to public agencies for storm cleanup. Commissioners noted such action is permissible under an emergency work clause of the state welfare law. Cuban Youth Still Support Castro Stanford, Calif. - UPI - A Stanford University profes sor of Latin American history has -stated that Fidel Castro "still has the firm support of the young people of Cuba." Prof. John J. Johnson, ap pearing on a campus panel, Friday, warned, "If the Unit ed States plans an invasion of Cuba, it must anticipate a bloodbath even if convention al weapons are used." He said Cubans would bit terly resist any American move against the Island na tion. Jan Triska, a political science professor and Russian expert appearing on the same panel, said the "Crisis in the arms blockade is now over." He said he did not believe Russian Premier Khrushchev "saw the difference between'' the U. S. definition of defen sive and offensive " -capons in comparing Russ-ian bases in Cuba from American bases near the Russian border.

Thornton has refused to file a suit against Gov. Mark Hatfield lo determine if Hatfield has complied with the law by hiring a personal legal aide. Loren Hicks. He challenged Hatfield lo file the suit himself. Saturday, the governor's of fice said Hatfield would "not dignify" Thornton's request "that the governor sue him self" by replying to it. Thornton, Democratic nom inee for governor, ci'ed a 1917 law staling that "no state of ficer, board commission, or the head of a department or institution of the state shall employ or be represented by any other counsel or attorney at law" other than the state at torney general. Hatfield has ignored Thorn Ion's legal advice in matters pertaining to the governor's office since Hatfield took of fice in 1958. Instead, he hired 1 licks. Thornton has always con tended this is illegal. Earlier this week. Hatfield challeng ed Thornton to file a test case. I But Friday Thornton said j that "since you arc the state official who has chosen not to comply wilh this law en acted in 1947. I suggest that you bring tiie test case your ' self through your private at i lorncys to establish your right the COLONIAL frowbridge m nearly everywhere was the portable transistor radio. Most buyers wanted to keep abreast of the news. Some said such radios would be use ful during and after enemy attack. From all indications, there was little of the panicky rush to stock up which followed the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950. Then, people hoarded sugar, coffee, nylon stockings and household ap pliances. Nothing like that occurred fi 1 to avoid following the laws of this slate." "We are ready to defend the law in court at any time," Thornton added. In a three page letter lo Hatfield, Thornton noted that "You have been quick to give me authority to bring suit in this case which inci dentally I do not need under already existing law." He meant a letter Hatfield gave Thornlon authorizing Thorn' ton to file suit against the gov ernor." Thornton ended by saying Why haven't you been as willing to grant my request for authority to make an in dependent investigation into the full circumstances sur rounding the mysterious 'dis appearance' of Oregon Nation al Guard property from Camp Withycombe?"' r ... a new department at trow bridge electric, devoted exclu sively to early Americana fur nishings. . . .

Perhaps it was the toughening up of a decade of cold war tension. Perhaps it was bland disbelief that nu clear war could come to ths United States. Perhaps it was fatalism. Salei Normal In crisis-conscious Washing ton, sure target in a nuclear attack, stores reported sales normal. "People have taken this Cuba thing in stride just the way they did the stock market crash," one department store executive commented. Food supplies were widely reported to be ample. U.S. Com mcrce Department fig ures indicated retailers and wholesalers have inventories in excess of a normal month s sales. Panic buying of key commodities, however, could cause selective shortages, of ficials said. Even if tensions rise and consumers do begin to stock up, economists said, persis tent major shortages are un likely, especially of manufac tured goods. The economists points to the nation's consider able unused factory capacity and pool of unemployed. Pulse Could Quicken Walter W. Heller, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, said the Cuba crisis could lead to "some quickening of the eco nomic pulse." Government experts, who kept a wary eye on buying and price trends, said con sumer behavior was a more important influence on retail prices than fluctuations in wholesale commodity prices. The latter closed the week on a rising trend after having shot up Tuesday and Wednes day and backed off Thursday. The Office of Emergency Planning reviewed its plans for price, rent and other eco nomic controls. A spokesman said flatly that controls were not about to be put into effect. Short of nuclear attack, authority for controls would be sought from Congress. In a total emergency, the spokes man said the President could invoke controls by virtue of powers inherent in his con stitutional designation as Commander-in-Chief.
