acatii penalty, lobbyists and
forests to liquor permits, so
cial problems and banks.

Billions Budgeted
For Space Probes
Washington -(IIPD- President
Kennedy Thursday budgeted
a record-smashing $6.1 billion
for exploration and exploita
tion of space in the year start
ing July 1.
This would be a jump of
more than $2 billion over
present - space expenditures.
Most of the new spending
would go to support the U.S.
project to land men on the
moon before 1970.
The rest would be Invested
In "military astronautics" to
make space craft for peaceful
uses, In developing of space
stations for world-wide wea
thcr forecasting and com
munications systems, in big
ger and more efficient rock
ets, and in prcpnrntlon for fu
ture projects aimed at explo
ration of Mars and Venus.
The $6.1 billion total for
fiscal 1964 proposed by Ken
nedy in today s budget mes
sage to Congress includes
space spending proposals for
five different agencies. Their
estimated spending for llic
current fiscal year Is $4 bil
lion. '

Fishery Research
Included in Budget
Washington 'l'PI President
Kennedy's budget Thursday
called for a $5011.000 research
program lo tap lli- "vast
reservoir" of animal proteins
found in the sea.
The budget included that
amount for further research
by the Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries to develop com
merclal techniques for Die
production of so-called "fish
flour," a protein concentrate
made from ground-up fish.
The main plant producing
fish flour is the New Bedford.
Mass., and is a subsidiary of
the Vio Bin Corp. -' Monti
cello. 111.
Although fish flour Is be
ing produced, It Is not sold
tor human consumption in
the United States because
Federal Food and "rug au
thorities have objected.
Higher Education
Bond Plan Sought
Salem - (UPD - 'A method of
providing bonds to finance
higher education instruction
al buildings without a vote of
the people was being ex
plored by Rep. John Mosscr,
R-Beaverton, and Sen. Alfred
H. Corbctt, D-Portland.
The plan would require
amending of existing statutes
to provide a specific alloca
tion of money from tuition to
pay for instructional Build
ings, laboratories and other
facilities, and an increase in
the bond ceiling now in effect.
Mosser and Corbelt ex
plained that existing law calls
for a special student building
fee which goes into a fund for
paying off domitory and stu
dent union buildings.
Their plan would finance
instructional buildings in the
same way.
They cited "avoiding the
expense of a statewide elec
tion" and 'the. possibility of
getting the program under
way without having lo wait
for an election as advantages
to their proposal.
They dented the proposal
was designed to eliminate the
possibility of voters' rejecting
the bonds. They said as long
as the plan now worked for
construction of dormitories,
they saw no reason it should
not be extended to instruc
tional buildings.
They estimated "a special
allocation of $16 or $17 a
term" would pay for the pro
gram.
The money would come
from tuition paid by students,
nd would be replaced in the
tuition fund through a grant
from the state's general fund.

Budget Requests
Fishery Vessel
Washington -ilil'Ii- President
Kennedy Thursday recom
mended that a $2,650,000 fish
ery research vessel be built
for use In the North Pacific
and Bering sea.
Funds for the vessel were
requested in the President's
budget for the fiscal year be
ginning July 1.
The budget for the Bureau
of Commercial Fisheries also
called for $1,168,000 for con
slruction of hatcheries and
other fishery facilities in the
Columbia River basin.
An additional $300,000 was
budgeted for an accelerated
research program Into the
passage of salmon over high
dams.
Still under study by Bar
ton and Musa was the advis
ability of printing bills on
newsprint. This would save
about $11,000 a session.
The plan has not been
adopted because it has not
been determined If newsprint
will stand up under heavy
usage, and the state printer
fears use of the cheaper pa
per might require running
presses at a slower speed.
The paper now being used
is of a cheaper grade than
was used during the 1961 ses
sion, Barton said, and a sav
ings of about $3,000 will re
sult even if the switch to
newsprint is not made.
Requests for sets of bills are
being screened closely in an
effort to cut down on the vol
ume being mailed and thus
reduce postage costs. It is not
yet known how much of a
saving will result from this
move.
Increase Noted in
Executives in Area
The Newcomers Service re
ported this week an increase
of excutives and professionals
and home buyers in Medford
over 1961.
In 1962, 29 per cent of the
families moving here were
excutives and professionals,
compared to 27.7 per cent in
1961. Those owning their own
businesses increased from 10.8
per cent in 1961 to 12.8 per
cent in 1962. A total of 23.7
per cent bought homes last
year compared to 19.3 per
cent in 1961.
The year 1962 showed a
large number of newcomers
to Medford, but this could not
be reported since the service
screens out all singles, unem
ployed, move-backs and tem
poraries. Only family units,
employed and permanent resi
dents are reported, the service
noted. .
Newcomers Service was
established here in 1953 and
is owned by Mrs. Olive Keller
Lowry. Mrs. Irene Kennedy
and assistants call on the new
residents.
Other figures show that
13.8 per cent of the families
here were two-car families.
There were 393 prc-school
children and 480 children
from 6 to 18 years old in the
new families.
Oregon Libraries
Said Substandard
Salem -IUPII- Oregon's li
braries reveal a pattern of
shabby and dated" book col
lections, obsolete buildings,
untrained personnel, and in
adequate support, State Li
brarian Eloise Ebcrt said
Thursday.
She issued a report based
on a survey of some 118 li
braries and library systems in
the state, the first such study
since 1938.
Most Oregon communities
have substandard public li
brary service and one-fourth
of the state's citizens have
none, she said.
'The local libraries simply
arc not providing the quality
of service that may be rea
sonably expected of a literate
state such as Oregon," she
said.
The report said $3 million
was spent on public libraries
in Oregon in 1961, about $1.7
million less than needed. It
advocated a $7 million "catch
up" expenditure, and said by
1975 Oregon libraries should
be spending $6.9 million annually.
