MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON WEBNESDAY. JANUARY 2, 1963 Latin Americans Laud Pledge To Seek Liberation of Cubans Washington - IUPD - Latin American diplomats welcome President Kennedy s pledge to continue to press for the liberation of Cuba from Com munist oppression. The President's words of encouragement to the liber ated Cuban prisoners of The Bay of Pigs invasion were interpreted to mean the Uni ted States will make every possibe effort, short of a mil itary attack, to topple Pre mier Fidel Castro. Envoys from countries which have been urging more vigorous action against Cas tro felt reassured that the U. S. position has not weak ened. Representatives of the bigger nations who have been shying away from any mili tary invasion now that the Soviet missiles have been re moved, were confident that future efforts would be on the political and economic plane. Addressed To Cubans There was also belief that Kennedy addressed his re marks as much to the people of Cuba as to the liberated prisoners when he empha sized that the United States shared the philosophy of so cial reform that had first ani mated the Castro revolution but was "preverted" to total itarianism. Venezuelan Foreign Minis ter Marcos Falcon Briceno, who is here on a short visit, called the speech "a forceful reaffirmation of our common belief In the ultimate victory of freedom and democracy over totalitarian forms of government." Falcon, himself spent some time in exile during the dicta torship of Gen. Marcos Perez Jiminez, said he could appre ciate the message of hope the President had given the Cu ban exiles. Given New Hop "It is important also 'that the freedom-loving people of Cuba who are now living in a police state never fail in their awareness that the peo ple of the whole hemisphere Hood River Couple Hurt in Accident Portland - WPU - A Hood River couple was hospitalized following a traffic accident on the Banfield Freeway east of here Tuesday night. Leroy Leonard, 31, and his wife, Ada, 33, were taken to Providence Hospital after their station wagon bounced off the steel divider in the center of the freeway while trying to miss a car going in the wrong direction. The other vehicle did not stop. ' Mrs. Leonard was listed in satisfactory condition with facial lacerations and a pos sible back injury. Her hus band was admitted for observation. are standing by them in their plight," he added. Ambassador Gonzalo Facio of Costa Rica, chairman of the council of the Organiza tion of American Slates, com mended Kennedy for making clear 'hat the inter-American system's wish is to see the Cuban people themselves de termine in free election their next government and not simply the seeking of "re venge" against Castro and his followers. "President Kennedy," he went on, "has given us new hope that the OAS will con tinue to act in behalf of the principles of self-determination which is one of the key stones of the inter-American system. I also share his feel ing that the Cuban people themselves must take the ini tiative in selecting the gov ernment they want and that this will require an initial unity of all Cubans." Officials here had also shied away from public state ments on future policy to ward the Castro regime that might have jeopardized nego tiations for the release of the prisoners. As a result, some Central American diplomats had late ly been complaining of what they felt was a tendency in Washington to "co-exist with Castro." A survey of the di plomatic representatives from these countries showed that Kennedy's remarks had gone a long way to dispell this belief. NOW!

Salem IUP1 Oregon slate parks hosted an estimated 1 1.5 million visitors during 1962, according to the Oregon State Highway Department. It was a record number of visitors in spite of a cool spring that held early season park use to unusually low levels, the department said. Use of overnight camp sites in state parks increased 18 per cent over 1961. The commission adopted recommendations on the park and recreation study and ap proved the largest budget in history for the parks and rec reation division. For the 1063 65 biennium, the division has been allotted $4.5 million to develop and operate the state parks system - a $1.4 million increase over the 1961-63 bi ennium. More than 4.000 acres were acquired during 1962 as ad ditions to existing parks or as entirely new areas. Under Development One of these areas was the William M. Tugman site on Eel lake south of Reedsport. This 460-acre tract was ac quired through the coopera tion of the State Game Com mission and is already under development as a picnicking, swimming, and boating area. Three Areas Added Further north along the const, between Florence and Yachats, lies the Carl G. Washburne Memorial Park site. This land was willed to the state for park purposes by Washburne's widow. Develop ments for the future will be planned around the 2'i miles of ocean beach. Three other areas along the coast were added to the parks system: The Ncstucca Sand Spit in Tillamook county, Billiards Beach in Coos coun ty, and the Pistol River site in Curry county, In the Columbia Gorge, a small but scenically important area was donated to the state by the Portland Women's Forum. The Chanticleer Point site contains only 3.7 acres, but gives a sweeping view of the Gorge. Oregon's first slate monu ment, the hollow, circular Fort Rock formation in south central Oregon, was acquired early in 1962. The 190 acres of this unique area were do nated by the Lake County Court and by a Fort Rock rancher. Other Areas Added In addition to these, more than 650 acres were added to existing state parks, the de partment said. Figures released in a na tional report showed Oregon was sixth in the nation in total park attendance, and was a leader in economy of park operation. Oregon spent an average of 9 cents per park visitor for operation of Its park system, compared to the) national average of 22-cents, the depatrment advised.
