Mark Hat field said today he will ask the 1963 legislature to author ize construction of disaster shelters in state buildings "with particular emphasis on provision for shelters in new construction." This was one of the points he stressed in a telegram to New York Gov. Nelson Rock efeller. It was in reply to a tele gram from Rockefeller report ing on a meeting earlier this week in Washington, D. C, of the Governors' Committee on Civil Defense, of which Rock eleller is a member. Promises Action Hatfield said Oregon will take "every action possible" to implement eight recommen dations made by Assistant De fense Secretary Steuart L. Pittman.

Urge local officials and building owners to expedite movement and storage of federally-donated shelter sup plies.

Vole for Communists Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Pakis tan split with the West and voted to seat the Communists. India supported a seat for Peiping despite the two coun tries' border war. Other countries backing the 10-vote Soviet bloc in support ing Russia's demand to bring in the Peiping regime were Afghanistan, Algeri, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Ceylon, Cuba, Ethiopia, Ghana, Gui nea, Indonesia, Iraq, Laos, Bali, Morocco, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Somalia Sudan, Syria, Tanganyika, Tunisia, Uganda, the United Arab Republic and Yugoslavia. Britain explained that while it deplored the Chinese Communist-Indian Border war, it shared India's view that the Peiping regime is the right ful government of China. But the British made clear that it held that sovereignty over Formosa (Taiwan), is a prob lem yet to be settled. Just before the vote, Nation alist China, referring to Russia and the Chinese Communists, said "world peace is being threatened by two internation al bullies, and the first has the effrontery to suggest that the second be seated in the United Nations." No New Arguments "The Soviet Union ought to be expelled from the United Nations," Chinese Ambassa dor Liu Chieh said, "and by no stretch of the imagination should Mao Tse-Tung be in terpreted to mean support of UN principles." Liu said Russia, advocating the seating of the Peiping re gime, advanced no new argu ments. Liu derided Soviet bloc ar guments thai enlargement of UN bodies could not be ne gotiated until the Peiping re gime is seated, or that failure to include the Chinese Com munists caused collapse of ne gotiations on international agreements. Jeannace Freeman To Die Dec. 6 Madras -HOT- Circuit Judge Robert Foley today set Dec. 6 as the date for Jeannace June Freeman to die in the gas chamber for the slaymg of a child in central Oregon last year. Miss Freeman, who was re turned to Salem after sentenc ing, was sober-faced but show ed no emotion. The condemned murderess was brought here from the state penitentiary at Salem Monday in the company of three Jefferson county depu ties, two men and one woman. The jail Monday night said the attitude of the 21-year-oid woman was "good." Miss Freeman was convict ed of first degree murder in the 1961 slaying of one of two children thrown into the Crooked river gorge in central Oregon. The Oregon Supreme Court recently upheld the con viction and death sentence. The only avenue open to Miss Freeman now is an ap peal for clemency to Gov. Mark Hatfield. Miss Freeman would be the first woman ex ecuted in Oregon.

Havana radio reported nav al "exercises" off Cuba's north coast within 20 miles of Havana and along the coastal road the UN emis saries must use to visit the missile sites. The exercises were set to start today and continue for the 48-hour pe riod the U Thant delegation will be in Cuba. The "tactical combat" exer cises, as Castro termed them, will parallel a 10-mile stretch of Gulf of Mexico waters be tween Mariel and the mouth of the Banes river, in Pinar Del Rio Province. Soviet Boats To Be Shown Sure to be displayed are the ultra-modern Soviet PT- boats armed with missiles and rockets which the Russians have based in Mariel Harbor. It was presumed the coastal batteries and other shore in stallations in the area also are to play a part in the act to impress the foreign visitors. The exercises coincided with an all-out effort by Cas tro to regain some of the pres tige he lost when the Rus sians went over his head to negotiate the Cuban crisis di rect with the United States. Government c 0 n t r o lied newspapers, radio and tele vision stations sought to con vince their audience that "everyone" in Cuba and abroad supported Premier Fidel Castro in the showdown with the United States, In which Russia agreed to dis mantle its Cuban missile bases. The Castro propaganda ma chine also pushed for public acceptance of Castro's five minimum demands for ending the Cuban crisis, including U.S. withdrawal from the Guantanamo naval base. To Continue Agitation Army chief Raul Castro, Fidel's younger brother, said in a statement intended for other Latin American nations, "To those people who have made our cause their own, we say Cuba will not fall them." Latin American exports re garded this as a pledge to con tinue Communist agitation In the Western Hemisphere no matter what the outcome of the current crisis. In Caracas, the Venezuelan government accused the Cas tro regime of turning loose Deputies Cite Man After Two-Car Crash Michael Roy Shi Its, 20, of box 216, Phoenix, was cited by a Jackson county sheriff's deputy yesterday for failure to have an operator's license on his person following a two car heud-on collision on Yank Gulch rd. near Talent.

However, Surveillance Flights Over Island Halted Order Effective For Two Days Washington-(UPH-The United States today both lifted its naval blockade of Cuba and halted aerial surveillance flights over the island for a two-day period at the request of Acting UN Secretary Gen eral Thant. The stopping of both oper ations will be in effect the two days that Thant is in Cuba arranging for the removal of Soviet missile bases. The sec. rotary flew to Havana today. The lifting of the blockade was announced Monday night and went into effect at dawn today. At mid-morning, Assistant Defense Secretary Arthur Syl vester said aerial flights over Cuba also were being stopped for the two-day period. Sylvester said the tempor ary halt to the surveillance flights was being ordered even though there is no con clusive evidence as yet that construction of Soviet missile, bases in Cuba has stopped as directed by Premier Nikila Khrushchev. Apparent Evidence Asked whether the flights would have been stopped without evidence that con struction of the missile bases had been discontinued, Sylves ter said "I would not think so." But he said his remark did not mean the evidence was conclusive. Sylvester refused to com ment on reports that U. S. blockading forces had trailed two Russian submarines in the Cuban area. The Washington Star said today that the Soviet sub marines were tracked last week until they were forced to surface. The Star said that "the subs did not try to inter fere with the blockade, so the Navy let them go their ways in International waters." Thant and a party of UN military and diplomatic ex perts will work out with Pre mier Fidel Castro plans to have UN observers check on the dismantling. 6,000 Slated for December Draft Washington - IUPD - The De fense Department today issued a call for 6.000 draftees to be inducted into the Army during Lccomc-er.

No build-up for the Cuban crisis had been planned for the Army. The department said the Army needs 12,800 recruits during December to maintain its 000,000-man strength, and that about half of the recruits will be provided by enlist ment.
