The two story concrete and steel ware house, owned by the Inter national Paper Co., is longer than a football field and al most as wide. One man died, one was miss ing and another was injured in the fire, which broke out Saturday. The warehouse was filled with huge rolls of news print, each weighing between 15,000 and 26,000 pounds.

From PaejeOn Kennedy Calls for Establishment of Youth Organization Patterned After Peace Corps The President said in this connection that his new fiscal 1984 budget, which goes to Congress Thursday, will be cut below this year's level ex cept for defense, space and interest on the national debt. All of these three categories will be higher next year. Kennedy underscored h t s determination to make tax re duction the No. 1 legislative issue this year by dealing only In very general terms with such controversial New Fron tier proposals as medical caro for the aged, aid to education, farm policy and youth train ing. He promised to cover them in later messages. He did call for establish ment of a youth organization patterned after the overseas Peace Corps to help com munity needs at home. He suggested that members could be used in mental hospitals, or Indian reservations, and at training centers for the aged and young delinquents. Cold War Calmed In discussing world affairs, the chief executive said the cold war struggle has calmed in the wake of the Cuban mis sile crisis. He also noted the split between , Moscow and Peking and the eye-opening effect on neutral nations of Red China's "arrogant in vasion of India." But' he foresaw "no spec tacular reversal in Commu nist methods xr goals." Neith er did he mention any hope for settlements in such world trouble spots as West Berlin or South Viet Nam. "A moment of pause is not a promise of peace," Kennedy said. "Dangerous problems re main from Cuba to the South China Seas. The world's prog nosis prescribes not a year's vacation, but a year of obliga tion and opportunity." Kennedy said his tax pro posal was designed to correct an obsolete revenue system which is putting too heavy a drag on private purchasing power, profits and employ ment. Kennedy said the reduc tions must be accompanied by lax reforms or "selected struc tural reforms" beginning in 1964 to broaden the tax base, "end unfair or unnecessary preferences, remove or light en certain hardships." Reduction of Expenditures Kennedy recognized that economy advocates in Cong ress soon would start shooting at his fiscal plans. He tried to counter some of their volleys in advance. It was in this con nection that he promised to cut total spending except for defense, space and fixed in terest. To hold down expenditures, he added, will require "reduc tion or postponement of many desirable programs." He said it would also require absorp tion of a large part of last year's federal pay raise "through personnel and other economies," plus closing down certain unspecified govern ment installations and pro jects. Aonther economy require ment on which he did not elab orate was "the substitution in several programs of private for public credit." For economy advocates who would delay tax reduction un til an end to the cold war makes possible a comparable cut in expenditures, Kennedy said "that end is not in view and to wish for it would be cosily and self-defeating." Paths Toward Peace In surveying the interna tional scene, the President thought conditions from the non-Communist viewpoint im proved in 1962. But he cau tioned repeatedly against "complacency or self-congratulation" and listed "special avenues" for 1963 over which the world might travel closer to durable peace: Atlantic alliance: Conced ing the existence of "honest differences among honorable associates," the President said "ways must be found without increasing the hazards of nu clear diffusion, to Increase the role of our other partners in planning, manning and direct ing a truly multilateral nuc lear force wilhln an increas ingly Intimate NATO al liance." He also called for greater NATO conventional weapons strength, saying the alliance could not afford "to be in a position of having to answer every threat with nuc lear weapons or nothing." Foreign aid: He said assist ance, not only from the Unit ed States, but from prosperous Washington - lUPH -The United States and India have agreed to launch 13 rockets In a cooperative research pro gram to study the equatorial eleclrojet current and upper atmospheric winds.

If the air program were end ed, Kennedy said, "our fail ures in a dozen couiurie would be sudden and certain." Sino Soviet difficulties: Hope generated by Increasing strains and tensions within the Communist bloc must be tem pered with caution. He said Regional Edition Medford, Page 2A ITribune MEDFORD, OREGON. MONDAY, JANUARY 14. 1963 the Soviet-Chinese disagree mcnt "is over means, not ends. A dispute over how best lo bury the Free World is no grounds for . Western rcjoic ing." Kennedy seemed less con cerned this year with so-called New Frontier legislation than he was in his first two State of the Union messages. This may reflect Kennedy's feeling that last November's congressional elections indicated the nation was pretty evenly divided. oooooo o o YESMMSHEO 18 wigglyJ GREEN i LSTAMPSj o o 9 A.M. to 9 P.M.
