2 P THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1962 MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Capital Memo Republicans Said Short-Changed in 1961 Legislature By DOUGLAS GRIPP Salem - IUPH - Gov. Mark Hatfield has complained thai Republican legislators were short-changed by the Demo crats on com mittee assign ments in 19til, particularly in the House of Representa tives. House M i nority Leader I., r.rlnn r . r . muill- gomery (R-Eugenc) has made the same complaint. Of the 20 House commit tees in the 1901 session, Rc pupblicans had only one chair manship, the Alcoholic Con trol committee, one less than in 1959. House Republicans figure they should have five or six chairmanships for 19B3. Montgomery said "it is up to the Democrats whether they operate the session strict Jy on the basis of partisan ship, or on the basis of what is best for the people of Ore The Democrats control the 1963 Mouse 31-29, and the Senate 21-9. Hatfield joined with Mont Bomcry, saying "I hope that there will be recognition of ability and experience, not just the party label." Hatfield said that when he nerved in the legislature in the 1950s when Republicans were in control the GOl' was fair and gave Democrats good positions. "In those days, the Demo crats were given very impor tant chairmanships and com mittee assignments," he said. "The Republican majority was not looking at party labels, but at experience of legislators in general," he said. "No party has a monop oly on brains." Speaking further of com mittees and "recognition of ability and experience," Hal field said the 19B1 senate "did this to a much greater extent than the 1961 House." The man designated as 1963 House speaker. Stale Rep. Clarence Barton (DCoquille) lias announced no committees yet. He has made no promises. Hatfield described both Barton and Stale Sen. Ben Wusa, who will be 1963 Sen ate president, as "very able and experienced men." As for his own program, the governor said "I have every reason to believe that we will be able to work out the legis lative matters in a very satis factory way." Hatfield has put programs before two previous sessions, both Democratic -controlled. Both times, he said, "I have received about 85 per cent of my recommendations, with the exception of government reorganization in the 1961 session." He said the reor ganization plan, however, was a separate program. "I have received very good treatment at the hands of Democratic legislators," he said. Budgets and Tax Program Suggested Portland IUPD - Rep. Victor Atiych, Washington county Republican, has suggested a plan which would have voters decide on alternate state bud gets and the lax program which would accompany each. Atiych, a member of the Mouse Taxation Committee last session, said the legisla ture might approve the bud gets and project the revenues expected to see if state income will be adequate. "If the income appears in adequate," he said, "and the pressure for referral of a tax plan by the legislature con tinues, I would suggest the alternate of proposing a new taxing system with the ex panded budget, or our pres ent tax system with a re duced budget." Atiych said "the people should understand that if they are going to insist on the pres ent tax program, this is what it's going to mean." World Production Of Food Expected To Top Population Washington il'Pli - World food production in 1962-63 is expected to increase faster than the growth in population, which is going up at a rale of 2 per cent annually, accord ing to an analysis by the agri culture department's Econom ic Research Service (ERS). DRIVEN FROM HOMES Members of a Himalaya Dafla family arrive at a wayside bazaar in Assam Plains, India, after being driven from their homes by the invading Chinese Communists. Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru told Parliament that "we should expect the worst and be pre pared for It."

The Corner Shos Store Central at Main Downtown AAedfotd Formal Wear Is At 'Elegant Best' Formal wear presents a man at his sartorial best. For mal wear this season is at its elegant best, whether for the holiday's formal occasions or for a late-season cruise. Black continues to hold its sophisticated lead, followed by midnight blue. Pastel tones, Madras plaids, batiks, and novelty prints are gen erally South - bound in silk and silk-type fabrics, White, of course, remains the cruise wear staple. Tuxedos range in styling from the traditional satin faccd shawl - collar models to some which bring back the 1920 s look. Notched lapel models continue to gain ground, faced or framed in satin or grosgrain. The classic satin and gros grain cummerbunds and bows are joined by brighter coun terparts in plaids, colors, and novelty ideas for cruises; or by brocade and sclf-jacquard-ed vests of more traditional occasions. Formal wear accessories show off more elegance and sophistication, both in shirts and jewelry. And don't forget that epi tome of formal splendor Ihe full-dress suit. There is nothing that can top it for sheer men's wear elegance. Prospects for Ihe main food from the effects of the new WORRIES OVER BIRDS London-iUPIi-The Society for the Prevention of Cruelly to Animals said Wednesday it will send inspectors to Traf algar Square because cold weather is keeping tourists away. Somebody has to feed the pigeons, a spokesman explained. grains are favorable, accord ing to the world study. Wheat and rye production is expect ed to increase about 6 per cent from 1961-62. Western Europe has a record wheat crop, indicating smaller im ports. On the other hand, eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, with disappointing crops in 1962, may have less to export this season. India and Syria report rec ord wheat crops, and good crops were harvested in Jap an, Pakistan, Turkey and North Africa. (Food supplies in the Unit ed States continue to be more than adequate for domestic consumption and near-record exports.) Asian Prospects Better Prospects for the rice crop in Asia are somewhat better than a year ago. India has a record crop, Japan a-ncar-rec-ord crop, and mainland China apparently will have a respite from the poor harvests of the three past seasons. The livestock feed situation generally is good outside east ern Europe and the Soviet Union, supporting favorable prospects for all livestock products. Hog slaughter in 1962 is forecast to be about 4 per cent above 1961, and production of beef and other meat also is expected to in crease. Production prospects for oilseeds are mixed. Africa has a larger crop in 1962 than in 1961. But in North America, western Europe, Japan, east ern Europe, and the Soviet union, oilseed crops in 1962 are smaller. Soybean produc tion in mainland China is ex pected to be smaller, but this decrease may be offset by in creased output of peanuts and other oilseeds. The world food situation by regions: Western Europe - Despite unfavorable weather in some parts, crop out in 1962 is ex pected to be generally higher than last year. Both food and feed grain production is great er than last year. Imports of wheat and coarse grains dur ing the current crop year will be smaller than last, apart common market grain import regulations. Output of live stock products continued to grow. Eastern Eurupe-As a re suit of poor crops, the past year was characterized by food shortages, especially of meat and milk, in a number of countries of eastern Eur ope, including the Soviet Un ion. The food situation was particularly unfavorable in east Germany. Drastic in creases of controlled prices of a number of food items were ordered by the commu nist regimes of the Soviet Union, Bulgaria and east Ger many. ; Prospects for an improve ment in the 1962-63 crop year in eastern Europe appear dim. Poor growing conditions were a major contributing factor this year. Spring field work was delayed by cool wet weather. In the summer, crops were hit hard by drought in the Danubian countries, southern regions of European U.S.S.R., the Soviet Union's eastern "Virgin Lands," and the cotton growing republics of Soviet Central Asia. The livestock industry in particu lar will suffer from tight feed supplies for the third consecu tive year. Mainland China-The Chi nese Communist regime has announced a major shift in economic policy, which puts first emphasis on agriculture. This change in policy has been accompanied by rela tively favorable weather. Damage from late frost, floods and typhoon winds has been generally of local na ture. Reports from Red China in dicate spring and mid-summer crops are improved, with prospects for an increase in fall harvested crops over last year. Increase in Far East Far East-Due primarily to a larger rice harvest, food pro duction in the Far East is es timated to have increased again in 1962, though the gains are small and are not uniform. Pakistan, the Philippines and South Korea expect lower food production than last year. Imports into these areas will need to be increased. In donesia may have a slightly larger harvest, but continues to be hard-pressed to meet basic food needs and will re quire large imports. India expects a third rec ord harvest in succession. Im ports likely will be lower. Japan expects another bump er rice harvest. Japan will continue to import the usual large quantities of wheat. Malaya, Taiwan and Ceylon have excellent crops, but will need to continue importing foodstuffs. Western Asia-Food produc tion is expected to be above last year's slightly better than average output. A 10 per cent increase in production of food cereals is expected. Only a moderate increase in grain production is expected in Tur key, the major producer of the area, and Iraq. Syria's output for 1962 is a record high, enabling that country to re-enter the export market. North Africa-Food produc tion for 1962-63 is expected to be moderately above last year's crop, which had re turned to normal levels after disastrous drought. But North Africa will continue to be a food-deficit area. Latin America-Total agri cultural output in 1962-63 is expected to increase slightly, but to lag behind population growth. Excluding Cuba, formerly the best Latin Amer ica market tor u. a. iarm products, shipments to Latin America reached an all-time higli value in 1961-62. Larger shipments of wheat and other products to Brazil and the northern countries of the area are in prospect for the next year. SHAL1MARCS the gift that says Sfe so many flattering things. v . a. r.
