Dignitaries, Wide-Eyed Children
Witness Hatfield Inauguration
Salem-flJPU-A impressive assemblage of dignitaries, a pair
of wide-eyed youngsters, and a jazzy Hawaiian band set
the stage Monday as Mark Hatfield became the . seventh
second-term governor in Oregon history.
The slim, elegant chief executive, wearing a dark suit,
took his oath of office before some 700 state officials, leg
islators and guests who crowded into the lofty, wood-paneled
house chambers for the colorful ceremony.
A battery of television cameras recorded the event.
. Watching from seats near the rostrum were Mrs. Hatfield,
wearing sapphire silk and a large white orchid, and Elizabeth,
3, and Mark Jr. 2. The Hatfield children were born during
the governor's first term.
"I think it's very wonderful the children can see their
father inaugurated," Mrs. Hatfield said.
A solemn processional to the accompaniment of organ
music preceded the inauguration.
Select senators and representatives escorted into the al
ready packed chamber former Govs. Charles Sprague, Elmo
Smith and Robert Holmes, the black-robed justices of the
Supreme Court, the state's elected officials, and finally,
Hatfield.
Edith Fairham Gunnar led the audience in singing the
national anthem.
Hatfield was formally declared reelected when House
speaker Clarence Barton "canvassed the vote" and announced
the result. The governor looked solemn and intense as he
raised his hand and took the oath of office from Chief Justice
William McAllister.
The audience listened quietly as Hatfield delivered his
45-minute inaugural address.
The ceremony ended with the singing of "Oregon, My
Oregon" and a recessional.
Then a lighter note took over as the governor greeted
guests in his executive offices midway between the house
and senate chambers.

President Airs
Situation With
Party Leaders
Washington - (UPD - Demo
cratic congressional leaders
today promised President
Kennedy speedy consideration
of his income tax reduction
program.
Kennedy discussed the tax
legislative situation with
House and Senate leaders of
his party at their regular
Tuesday breakfast meeting at
the White House.
Speaker John W. McCor
mack said that after the Presi
dent presents his speciaLlax
message Jan. 24, the House
Ways and Means Committee
probably would proceed
quickly witli hearings on Ken
nedy's detailed proposals for
a net $10 billion reduction in
federal tax rates, phased over
a three-year period.
McCormack told newsmen
that tax reduction was a "mat
ter of urgency" in the admin
istration's legislative timetable.
Other congressional insid
ers were willing to give odds
that the administration will
succeed in pushing the Presi-
dents tax cut program for
individual and corporations
through this year's session.
However, they felt that
there might be some major
alterations in the three-year
plan outlined in general terms
Monday by Kennedy. Some
predicted that the Job would
not be completed before October.
In the meantime, Kennedy
will be subjected to a continu
ing barrage of criticism from
conservatives for daring to
propose that tax revenues be
cut when Treasury spending
rlready is running billions of
dollars a year in excess of tax
collections.
American Airlines
Crash Blame Fixed
Washington- (UPD -The Civil
Aeronautics Board today
blamed the March 1, 1062,
crash in New York of an
American Airlines Boeing 707
on a probable short circuit in
the rudder control system.
All 95 aboard were killed
in the crash.
The accident occurred two
minutes after the giant jet
took off from Idlewild bound
for Los Angeles. The plane
climbed to 1.600 feet, then
rolled over on its back and
plunged into the waters of
Jamaica Bay.
The CAB said it deduced
from a painstaking study of
the plane's flight recorder
and numerous flight tests on
similar aircraft that "a rud
der servo malfunction due to
shorted wires is the most like
ly abnormality to have' pro
duced the accident."
The servo unit is part of a
uevice which automatically
reduces any tendency of a Jet
to roll or sideslip In a cross
wind or turbulence.

Kolweii Surrendered
Tshombe was reported to
day to have surrendered his
last stronghold of Kolwezi
and announced the end of his
secession from the Congo, but
a UN spokesman said Thant
was taking a cautious view of
the Katanga leader's state
ments in the light of his past
record of broken promises.
The spokesman said UN
troops in Katanga were pre
pared for the time when they
can take over the town (Kol
wezi) peacefully, they hope."
Statement Welcomed
Thant issued a statement to
day welcoming Tshombe's
statement that he would end

Crews Check Forest
Fire in Evans Creek
An out-of-season forest fire
which apparently had been
burning slowly for several
days, was spotted in the east
fork of Evans creek area yes
terday.
Two stale forestry depart
ment men checked the fire
yesterday and found that it
had almost burned itself out.
The men were checking it
again today.
The fire actually covered
an area of 60 acres, but it
burned only leaves and nee
dles, and damage was believ
ed to be minimal.
Forestry officials theorized
the fire might have started
from a hunter's warming fire
which was not extinguished.
Recent sunny weather has
partially dried out the south
slopes of hilly areas, they
noted.
The Evans creek fire start

Religious Organizations Urged
To Fight Racial Discrimination
Chicago- (UPD -Churches and
synagogues were challenged
today to take an active part in
helping Negro families buy
homes in all-white residential
neighborhoods.
They also were urged to use
their purchasing power as a
weapon for racial justice by
demanding pledges against Job
discrimination In all contracts
for construction or supplies.
These were some of the spe
cific suggestions thrown out
as delegates from 70 Protes
tant, Jewish and Catholic or
ganizations got down to brass
tacks at a National Confer
ence on Religion and Race.
The conference is the first
of Its kind in U.S. history. It
convened under the Joint
sponsorship of all three major
faiths.
Its announced purpose is to
galvanize America's religious
bodies In "courageous and ct-
fectlvc action" against segre
gation, discrimination and
prejudice in all areas of life.
Dr. Franklin H. Llttcll of
Chicago Theological Semin
ary told the delegates it Is
time for organized religion to
display its concern for racial
Justice in deeds rather than
words.
"We do not need any more
resolutions," he said. "What
we need Is disciplined con
duct." The Rev. Will D. Campbell,
associate director of the De
partment of Racial and Cul
tural Relations, National
Council of Churches, said
President Kennedy's recent
executive order banning raci
al discrimination in federally
financed housing "offers
every church and synagogue
an opportunity to Involve it
self in appropriate direct action."
'The. housing order. If en
forced and supported, will do
far more to change the racial
picture In America' than did
the Supreme Court decision
on public school education In
in 1054," he said.
"Whereas the school deseg
regation crisis has affected
but a few southern communi
ties, the housing order has far

parts of the nation."
He said local congregations

order by "securing open occu
