' The governor was asked by
; United Press International to
j comment on his plans for his

I Speaking of the state's econ

i not faced the day of reckon

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

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

and would havr an immediate
as well as long-range impact
on the state's economy.

Joyous relatives of the Bay

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

one with the same salute:
"Hello Kennedy."

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

Havana.
. The passenger ailments in
cluded nine cases of suspected
German measles.

Just take an apple, gracias,"
he said.
The seasick aboard the ves

enough for the African Pilot

wailed at dockside to carry'
the sick to hospitals. Besides
the nine communicable dis
ease cases, there were two
other persons requiring medi

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

the freedom of captives taken
