Measures Vetoed by
Hatfield First on
Legislative Agenda
Mm
By ZAN STARK
Salem - MPD - The first four
bills to be received by the
1983 legislature when it con
venes Monday
will be meaS'
u r e s vetoed
by Gov. Mark
Hatfield after
the 1961 ses
sion adjourn'
ed. Three are
Senate bills
and one orii
nated in the
sum House. Jack
Thompson of the secretary of
slate's office said the bills
would be returned to the pre
siding officer of the house of
origin on the first day of the
session.
"By law," Thompson said,
"these have to be the first
Items considered."
If they receive the two
thirds vote necessary to over
ride the veto - they become
law.
Prospects for the four meas
ures seem dim, however.
To date the legislature has
been unable to override any
measure vetoed by Hatfield
since he took office.
And interest In measures
drafted by the legislature two
years ago has lost Its impact.
It would be a major upset
for Hatfield if any of the
measures survived his veto.
Two of the bills could
spring back to life.
SB 96 would change the
definition of criminal insan
ity. Hatfield said the bill was
"premature," and "lacks ade
quate safeguards."
The bill reads, "A person Is
Lot guilty of criminal conduct
if at the time of such conduct
as a result of mental Illness
or mental defect he lacks sub
stantial capacity either to ap
preciate the criminality of his
conduct or to conform his con
duct to the requirements of
law."
Such persons would be de
tained in a state medical In
stitution until cured.
The 1963 Legislative High
way Interim Committee in Its
report last week did not call
for reintroduction of House
bill 1653, but urged "the Ore
gon Reclamation Congress to
appear before the legislature
and renew its request for pas'
sage of the measure."
The bill, introduced at the
request of the Owyhee Irriga.
tlon district, calls for the high
way department to pay irriga
tion districts for removal of
land from the districts for
highway department use.
Hatfield said the bill "ap
pears to be unconstitutional.
Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton
and the chief counsel for the
highway department also said
the proposal would be uncon
stitutional. The recent committee re
port said the proposal had
"merit," but because of its ap
parent unconstitutionality
"the committee should not
recommend its Introduction as
a committee bill." .
Also termed unconstitution
al by Hatfield was SB 510.
The bill provided the highway
commission would pay the
cost of moving certain utility
facilities located on the high
way right of way.
The fourth bill, SB 526,
would authorize a 60-day in
junction against actions taken
by the Liquor Control com
mission in suspending or can
celing licenses.
Hatfield said "a 60-day in
junction against commission
actions would in effect frus
trate the administration of the
law and would be a disservice
to the people of the state."

HOW 'MIXED' CAN AN ECONOMY GET!
If ever an economy presented an inconclusive picture, It is
that of the U.S. in January 1963. It is a combination of good,
bad, indifferent and fair to middlln'. It is both lending up
and tending down. When President Kennedy charcterized it as
"a mixed bag" a while back, he was using homely but ex
quisitely apt words.
Underlining tills arc the current movements of the 26
economic indicators selected by the world-respected National
Bureau of Economic Research after decades of study as the
most valuable out of thousands in Identifying stages in the
U. S. business cycle. Of the total, 12 are "leading indicators,"
meaning they usually signal in advance business peaks or bot
toms. Another nine are "coincident Indicators," meaning they
usually move up or down with the economy as a whole. The
final five arc "lagging Indicators," meaning they usually
turn up or down after the economy as a whole has changed
trend. The 26 indicators arc exceedingly useful in economic
forecasting hut only when interpreted by experts and the
number of experts who can property interpret them is pica
yune. Here, from a top expert In the field, is the talc the in
dicators are telling right now.

tl) Average workweek, mfg.: leveling.
(2) Accessions (hiring) rale, nifg.: sliding

Noted Theologian Undertakes
To Spell Out Meaning of Faith
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
What is faith?
Virtually every Christian
writer since the time of St.
Paul has offered a definition.
Despite the multiplicity of
words already said on the sub
ject, it is a notable event when
Dr. Karl Barth undertakes to
spell out the meaning of faith.
Barth's stature among mod
ern theologians has been lik
ened to that of "a giant among
pygmies." Many regard him as
one of the greatest Christian
thinkers of all time.
In his latest book, "Evan
gelical Theology: An introduc
tion," Barth devotes a whole
chapter to faith.
First, he rejects as false or
Inadequate a number of con
cepts of faith which are wide
spread today, even among
theologians.
Faith, Not Doctrine
Faith, he says, is not merely
a matter of giving "assent to
certain propositions and doc
trines" which one has en
countered "second hand" in
the Bible or in the teachings
of the church.
Such a "blind" acceptance
of external authority is a
"house of cards in which no
one would be well advised to
take occupancy." The first
strong wind of doubt or ad
versity may blow it down.
Nor is faith a wishful opin
ion, or "hypothesis' wnicn
man formulates when he ar
rives at "the boundary of what
he considers to be certain
human knowledge." If faith
were no more than a brave hu
man leap Into the unknown. It
would be "scarcely worth
mentioning."
Finally, faith is not just a
"mood or attitude" which
helps men to cope courage
ously with the vicissitudes of
life. This subjective view of
faith as an end in itself, Barth
notes, is one of the most pop
ular heresies of modern Pro
testantism. Book Describes Faith
Having cleared away the
underbrush, Barth proceeds
to give his own view of faith.
And it is not so much a def
inition as a description.
Faith is a relationship be
tween man and God which
rests upon and is validated by
first-hand experience. It oc
curs when man finds himself
confronted by God, not as a
Reality. Man responds by "af
firming, trusting and obey
ing" the Reality which has
laid hold upon him.
"No one can take such ac
tion by his own power," says
Barth. "A man can only do
this when he is overcome by
God's word and its spirit of
power."
And yet, the act of faith is
always "genuinely and freely

Short of Breath
Here on my desk is a letter,
typical of thousands which I
receive and cannot answer be-
r nnnnnf
-'Mini 8uess wnat s
' Hit,. I wrong. If I
were to guess,
I might well
be wrong, and
then any treat
ment I might
suggest would
be useless. The
man says, "I
Alvjrex am short of
breath. Tell me what to do."
I wish my correspondent
knew how many causes there
can be for shortness of breath,
especially in a man past 50
years of age. Of course, one
thinks first of heart trouble,
and If I could chat with the
man for a lew minutes, i
might be satisfied that it is
his heart that is causing the
trouble. But he might have a
bad asthma or a bad emphy
sema - in which the little
lung sacs have broken or in
which the lung has lost its
elasticity and its power to get
air out after it has been
breathed in. Perhaps the
man's trouble is that for 35
years he has smoked three
packages of cigarettes a day.
Perhaps he used to be a "rock
miner," and his lungs arc now
full of fine granite sand; per
haps he has a bad tuberculosis
with a number of cavities;
perhaps he has bad a polio or
an arthritis of his chest wall
which has ruined its former
efficiency as a bellows. Or he
may have a high blood pres
sure or a bad anemia or any
one of a number of oilier ser
ious diseases. He might just
be too fat!
It distresses me not to be
able to send a helpful answer
to a letter. 1 can guess how
disappointed the poor man or
woman will be, perhaps after
having written nie 10 pages,
but I Just must not try to
guess what is wrong. In hun
dreds of these letters, the per
son says. "I have seen several
doctors and they weren't sure
what Is wrong with me."
These doctors had a chance
to talk witli him and to ex
amine him thoroughly, and I
cannot do either of these
things.
Covered With Spots
Here Is another letter from
a man who s:iys, "My face is
covered with red spots. What
do you say they arc?" All I
can do is suggest that he sees
a skin specialist. Perhaps even
he will be puzzled after he
examines the spots Willi the
help of a hand lens.
Here is still another type of
letter which tugs at my heart.
To many non professionals, the Indicators may seem just 1,1,1 1 know w'nnl '
so mucli bnlllcgab and tnc words used to pinpoint them en
tirely too technical for understanding but dip vital part of
the tale I have presented here In our language under the
heading "signal."
To .summarize: Of the 12 leading Indicators -which would
signal an upturn or downturn from today's levels -five are
flashing an indifferent signal, four are flashing a good signal,
two are flashing fair to middlln' and one is saying bad.
Of the nine coincident indicators which say where the
economy Is right now four are reflecting a good picture,
three an indifferent picture and two a fair to middlin'
picture.
Of the five lagging indicators which turn down or up
afte r Die economy as a whole turns down or up. -three are
acting in a fair to middlin' way, one is Indifferent, one is
good.

man s own." Man is sought
before he seeks; the Initiative
is always with God. But the
"event" of faith does not take
place until man responds with
affirmation, trust and obed
ience. The responses is not made
once and for all. Faith isi "a
history, new every morning."
Belief in God
Although faith is always be
lief in God rather than beliefs
about God, this does not mean
that it is devoid of intellectual
content. The living relation
ship of faith inevitably results
in theological convictions. In
deed, Barth holds, the man of
faith "will hardly be able lo
avoid for any length of time"
the comprehensions of God's
activity in history which are
expressed in the Bible and the
ancient Christian creeds.
Barth firmly repudiates the
idea advanced by Paul Tillich
and others that doubt is a
necessary and desirable ac
companiment of faith. Man
may be assailed by doubt be
cause they are human and
weak, Barth says, but "there
is no justification" for treating
uncertainty as an inevitable
aspect of human relationships
with God.
"Faith," declares the giant
of 20th century theology, "is
basically a most intensive,
strict and certain knowledge.
"Compared with it, even
what is supposedly the most
certain knowledge on our side
of the human boundary can
only be esteemed an hypothesis."

Labor Legislation
Hinges on Dock
Workers' Strike
Washington -IUPD- No major
labor legislation is expected
to bo enacted by Congress this
year unless the current dock ;
strike drags on for many !
weekp, Senate labor experts
said today. !
They predicted that if Presi- i
dent Kennedy offers legisla- i
tlon to end the tieup of East
and Gulf ports, organized la-1
bor will, bring pressure toj
see that the strike is settled
before a new law could be ',
enacted. !
The administration has been
reluctant to offer any kind of
anti-strike legislation. j
New Methods Needed I
Labor Secretary W. Willard '.
Wlrlz said Wednesday he be-,
lieved new methods were:
needed to settle labor-man-;
agement disputes without di
rect government intervention.
He 'said Kennedy would re
port to Congress on the 111-day-old
longshoremen's strike
in his Slate of the Union
Message Monday. But Wirtz
said he did not know whether
the President would call for
labor legislation at that time.
Earlier, administration
sources said tile President
might he forced lo ask Con
grew for some type of com
pulsory arbitration law un
less the dock strike is settled
soon.
Little Concern
The dock tieup by the Inter
national Longshoremen's As
sociation (AFL-CIO) was caus
ing little concern In the new
Congress. Labor committee
members said they had nol
been briefed on what the
strike was doing lo the na
tion's economy. The celiiig
was that it came at a slow
time of year and so far has
nol been damaging.
The New York newspaper
strike probably does not have
enough impact nationally to
precipitate anti-strike legisla
tion. Senate labor committee
sources said.
