German Peace
Treaty Declared
To Be Necessary
No New Conditions
On Berlin Issue
Moscow-(UPH - Firsl Peputy
Premier Alexei Kosygin today
pledged continued Soviet aid
to Cuba and issued a new
call for the conclusion of a
German peace treaty.
In an address to the nation
on the eve of Wednesday s
45th anniversary celebrations
of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolu
tion, Kosygin said a German
peace settlement "can be af
fected without affecting the
fate of any state."
But he attacked alleged mil
itaristic tendencies on the part
of West Germany and said
that "without the signing of
a German peace treaty there
can be no idea that the West
German militarists will give
up their ideas."
End of Moratorium
Kosygin's reference to Ber
lin coincided with the end of
the moratorium on a Berlin
crisis that the Soviets had de
clared would last until to
day's American elections.
But the Soviet first deputy
premier notably imposed no
apparent new conditions for
regulating the Berlin issue.
Speaking to a packed holi
day audience of 6,000 persons
in the ultra-modern Kremlin
Palace of Congresses, Kosygin
laid down a vigorous'defense
of Soviet Cuban policy that
included a promise of future
aid. But he did not specify
whether it would be economic
or military help.
"We have been rendering,
we are rendering assistance to
the Cuban people," he said.
Round of Applause
His declaration brought a
round of applause from the
audience and from Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev, who
was on the stage with other
Inn Soviet dignitaries.
Kosygin repeated the Soviet
thesis that the Kremlin's
"peaceful policy" in the Cu
ban affair had headed off a
world war and won the grati
tude of peoples throughout the
world.
Although he scored Amer
ican "imperialists" and "mili
tarists," for allegedly aggres
sive designs against Cuba,
Kosygin admitted that at the
height of the crisis neither
side lost its composure and
did not take the last step in
starting a thermonuclear war

New Demi IUPII I n d i a n
forces drove back two Com

northeast today amid reports
the Reds have begun a troop
build-up near the vital air
supply base of Chusul in the
northwest.
The Defense Ministry an
nounced that the Chinese had
been repulsed in the central
and eastern sectors of the
Northeast Frontier Agency re

No Strings Attached
The slight flare-up of mili

rumors of his impending
resignation from his new post
as minister of defense pro
duction, Krishna Menon said
in a speech that no matter
what his job, "I will contrib
ute my might to the country's
war efforts."
The Defense Ministry
spokesman said that "Chinese
reinforcements were observed
arriving near Cl.usul" in La
dakh on the western front,
Chusul is the most important
supply point for Indian forces
in the forward Ladakh area.
Airlifts Since 1958
The Indians have been op
erating airlifts to Chusul,
west of Spanggur Lake, since
1958. The spokesman said the
Communist b u i 1 d-up was
under way only "a matter of
a few miles" from the airstrip
at Chusul which lies about
15,000 feet high in the Hima
layas. Galbraith said the U.S. aid
"is not intended to involve
India in a military alliance or
otherwise influence her
policy."
"Our aid is designed to help
defend India's independence
and not to compromise it," he
said.
Galbraith added that the
United States does not want
the border conflict between
India and the Invading Red
Chinese continued or ex
tended. WEATHER

Oregon Voter
Turnout Light
As Fog Prevails
Increase Seen
Later in Day
Portland tUPIt Fog slowed
balloting in parts of Oregon
after the polls opened at 8
a.m. today as voters passed
judgment on a bulky slate of
candidates and issues headed
by races for U. S. senator and
governor.
Election officials expected
the turnout to increase later
in the day as the fog burned
off, but the overall prediction
was for a relatively light off
year turnout.
Early voting in Bend was
reported "light to moderate"
with light voting reported
from Salem, Portland, Med
ford, Corvallis and Coos Bay.
Portland had an estimated 10
per cent turnout in this first
two hours.
Voters also decided on four
Congressional seats, a labor
commissioner, a new State
House of Representatives, part
of a State Senate, and local
officers.
They gave their verdicts on
nine statewide ballot meas
ures, including daylight time,
legislative reapportionment,
and school district reorganiza
tion. They also voted on local
issues ranging from water
fluoridation to a proposed
merger in the Coos Bay-North
Bend area and whether to end
prohibition at Newberg.
Secretary of State Howell
Appling Jr. predicted a turn
out of only about 70 per cent
of the state's 883,690 regis
tered voters 473.561 Demo
crats, 395,351 Republicans,
and 14,778 others.
Morse After Fourth
The U.S. Senate race pitted
62-year-old Sen. Wayne Morse
against 49-year-old Republi
can challenger Sig Unander,
former state treasurer and
federal maritime commission
er. Morse sought his fourth
term - his second as a Demo
crat. The gubernatorial race put
Republican Gov. Mark Hatr
field, 40, against Democratic
Atty. Gen. Robert Thornton,
52, and independent Hobert
Wampler.
In the four Congressional
races, three incumbents were
seeking reelection - Republi
can Walter Norblad to a ninth
term, Democrat Edith Green
to a fifth term, and Democrat
Al Ullman to a fourth term.
Whipple Seeks Seat
In the first district, Nor
blad was opposed by 32-year-old
former Oregon Demo
cratic secretary Blaine Whip
ple. In the second, Ullman
was opposed by Bend Publish
er Robert Chandler, and in
the third Mrs. Green faced
Portland pharmacist Stanley
Hartman.
Two slate legislators vied
in the fourth district of South
west Oregon for the seat be
ing vacated by GOP Rep. Ed
win Durno. Democrats were
hoping Oregon House Speak
er Robert Duncan, a Medford
attorney, would recapture the
seat for their party.
Republicans were hoping
State Rep. Carl Fisher, a Eu
gene radio executive, would
retain it for the GOP.

Governor May
Bring Action
Against Druggist
Untrue Statements
Claimed in Letter
Salem (UPI) Gov. Mark Hat
tield today threatened legal
action against a Portland phar
macist who allegedly said the
governor has "brought pres
sure" on pharmacists in a dis
pute with Oregon newspaper
publishers.
In a letter to the pharma
cist, Ralph Robertson, Hat
field referred to a mimeo
graphed letter directed to
pharmacbists in Robertson's
name.
The mimeographed sheet
said ". . . the Oregon society
of news editors attacked us,
and backed by the governor's
office brought pressure to
bear . . ." Hatfield said "this
is untrue. The governor's of
fice did not enter into this
dispute."
The Oregon Newspaper
Publishers association filed
suit earlier this year in Lane
county circuit court against
the State Board of Pharmacy.
The suit protests a board rule
prohibiting pharmacists from
advertising the prescription
price of drugs.
The sheet also said the gov
ernor's office requested with
drawal of the action, but Hat
field said this also is noLjp.
In the letter to Robertson,
Hatfield said "It is requested
that you acknowledge wheth
er or not you are the author.
If so, it is requested that you
publicly retract the state
ments which have been point
ed out as being untrue. If you
do not make such a retraction
this office will consider ap
propritte legal action."

Employment For
October Was Best
On Record Locally
October was a month ot ex
treme in employment In
Jackson county but proved to
be the best October on record
from the standpoint of non-
agricultural jobs filled by the
local state employment serv
ice office, according to John
J. Patton, manager.
At the end of the month
there still was no sign of any
sizable layoffs in Jackson
county although, as usual,
there was a small increase in
the amount of local unem
ployment after the end of the
fruit packing season, the man
ager said.
It now appears that the first
large reduction in employ
ment will not occur until win
ter weather forces curtailment
of logging and construction
operations.
A week of heavy rain pro
duced a flurry of unemploy
ment near the middle of the
month, Patton noted. Other
than this, the month was fea
tured by an unusually high
level of employment. In non
agricultural work both the
construction and lumber In
dustries operated with little
loss of time, other than that
caused by the rain.
Pear Crop Large
In agriculture, a very large
pear crop caused the harvest
season to extend well beyond
the usual duration. The heavy
rain created mud conditions
in the orchards which slowed
or stopped picking for about
a week.
On Oct. 12 the windstorm
destroyed a largo amount of
of the unpicked fruit and caus
ed additional damage by bruis
ing, much which remained on
the trees.
A severe shortage of pick
ers occurred when nearly nil
domestic migrants left the
area during the rain. An ap
peal for local help met with
good response and picking
continued until the remaining
usable fruit had been harvest
ed, the manager said.

Soviet Diplomat
Downgrades Jels
On Weapons List
U.S. Insisting
Planes Be Moved
Washington - (UPI) - Soviet
diplomats have been hedging
slightly on whether Russia
will remove its nuclear-capable
jet bombers from Cuba, in
formed sources said today.
Premier Nikita Khru
shchev's special envoy in New
York, Vasily V. Kuznetsov,
has never flatly excluded So
viet IL22 jet bombers from
the category of "offensive
weapons to b withdrawn
from Cuba, but has tended to
'downgrade" them, U.S.
sources said.
Confronted With Fact
U.S. special negotiator John
J. McCloy, officials said, has
confrontettJRuznetsov in New
York with the fact that U.S.
aerial reconnaissance shows
no evidence the bombers were
being dismantled, although
this is tUe case with the mis
sile sites.
Kuznetsov replied with as
surances that Russia would
live up to its commitments.
But these assurances were less
than explicit, officials said.
Recent U.S. air reconnais
sance of Cuba has also shown "
slightly more assembled IL28s
in Cuba than previously had
been observed there. U.S. of
ficials cautioned that this does
not necessarily mean assem
bly of the bombers has con
tinued since Russia's Oct. 28
promise to remove "offensive
weapons." It may only mean
that some of the planes have
been rolled out from under
camouflage.
Shipped in Crates
During the Soviet build up
the IL28s were shipped to
Cuba in crates for assembly
there.
McCloy is understood to
have told Soviet diplomats in
the strongest terms that the
United Slates insists the
bombers are part of President
Kennedy's agreement with
Khrushchev , for . removal of
offensive weapons.
