' The governor was asked by ; United Press International to j comment on his plans for his j second term. I Speaking of the state's econ ! omy, Hatfield said "We have i not faced the day of reckon j ing, but the day of reckoning is here." I He said tax reform was I needed fnot just to balance j the budget or to raise money," ' but to provide the foundation for future economic growth. I Hatfield reminded that ! when he took office as gover 1 nor four years ago top prior ity was given to the economic, growth of Oregon. "I have been pleased with the progress that lias been made. My long-range hope is to see this program blossom in the four years ahead." He said economic growth was the key to other public issues and problems, and added, a sound, sleadily-ex- p a n d ing economy produces revenue needed to operate state government. He termed tax reform "the crux of the 1963 Legislative session," and said he would give more detailed comments in his address to the legisla ture on Jan. 14. In discussing a trend among some people to become de pendent on government wel fare services. Hatfield warn ed, "We must not create a class of public wards. I "Public programs should be to aid people in time of crisis. They should be designed to restore people to usefulness. "We must reduce depen dency in all social legislation." i Hatfield termed his view "the most humanitarian posi tion one can take." Ho said it "recognizes the individual's o w n responsi bility for stlf respect, pride and honor. "We must not destroy indi vidual initiative." he said. Hatfield asked for the ad dition of 2H8 welfare workers in his I!(i3-(i5 budget "to rehabilitate people and get them off the public we If. ire rolls." "If we can't do this at the slate level we will have to face the reality, sooner or later, that we are headed for a unitarian government na tionally. "We must reverse the pres ent trends or we will never be able to couteract the forces' of reliance on public assistance. He said "the key is the pro ductivity of the individual. If In discussing the state of mind that results from aban donment of the ideals of in dividual initiative, Hatfield said that the capital punish ment appeals he is now re ceiving are based on "finding excuses." He said it is common lo claim "someone other than the individual who committed the crime is at fault. People find excuses for the criminal." "People try to relieve the individual criminal of blame for the crime," he said, and described this as "the philoso phy of dependency." "It is not the state's fault that someone commits a crime," the governor said. Salem - tlW - Economic ex pansion, tax reform and re duction of individual depen dency on government were cited as major goals today by Gov. Mark Hatfield as he ap proaches his second four-year term. The governor termed Ore gon's present tax structure a "patch-work," and said the need for tax reform was "fun damental.'' He said tax reform would contribute to Oregon's eco nomic and industrial growth, and would havr an immediate as well as long-range impact on the state's economy. "We have trotted down the we destroy a person's produc tivily, lie becomes nothing but ; a ward of the stale." I Hatfield recognized that some groups, such as the aged, would need continuing public assistance. j "But the able-bodied souls should be self supporting," lie said.

IPigs Shore Happy Passengers Ignore Ailments During Voyage Port Everglnrics. Fla fdPP Joyous relatives of the Bay of Pigs invaders arrived today In the ship that took a ransom cargo to Cuba. They wore their Sunday best and ignored an outbreak of measles and seasickness that marred the crossing. One little fellow roamed the decks and greeted every one with the same salute: "Hello Kennedy." The black-hulled freighter African Pilot looked like a wartime hospital ship with a big Red Cross emblazoned on its side as tugboats nudged it into the wharf ending a 14 hour, 10-minute voyage from Havana. . The passenger ailments in cluded nine cases of suspected German measles. Halptd Down Gangplank Among the first to debark was Mrs. Felicia Hcrnander. Fernandez. She was helped down the steep, 5U-foot gang plank because she has a heart aliment. Carlos Fernandez Valle, 17, brother of one of the Invaders, Eric del Valle, 22, shied away from a table filled with sand wiches, t apples, pears and milk. "I'm too seasick to eat. I'll Just take an apple, gracias," he said. The seasick aboard the ves sel, however, was not severe enough for the African Pilot to be quarantined, the Red Cross said. Three ambulances wailed at dockside to carry' the sick to hospitals. Besides the nine communicable dis ease cases, there were two other persons requiring medi cal treatment.' Sick With Cxcitamant The passengers, mostly women and children, were in many cases literally sick with excitement at their unexpect ed opportunity to escape the Cuba of Fidel Castro and gel to the United States. The ship that brought them back was the same one that took a shipment of the ran som supplies to Cuba to buy the freedom of captives taken 20 months ago during the abortive attempt to storm Cu ban shores by an invasion force.
