Goldwafer Seeks
Investigation of
Invasion Fiasco
Washington - (UPD - Sen
Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) in
troduced a resolution today
calling for a full and im
partial" investigation of the
Bay of Pigs Cuban invasion
fiasco. -
Goldwater's resolution calls
for an inquiry by the Senate
Armed Services Committee
headed by Sen. Richard Rus
dl (D-Ga.).
The Arizona Republican
told the Senate that such an
investigation was the only
means by which the Ameri
can people would be fully in
formed about the ill-fated in
vasion attempt in April, 1961.
Said Mandatory
He said a congressional in
vestigation became mandatory
when Atty. Gen. Robert F.
Kennedy recently stated that
the U.S. government never
planned air cover for the in
vasion group seeking to top
ple Fidel Castro.
Goldwater suggested that
Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer,
former chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, and Allen W.
Dulles, former head of the
Central Intelligence Agency,
be called to testify.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.),
chairman of the Senate for
eign relations subcommittee
on Latin America, said that
before any "partisan" speech
es were made on the subject,,
senators should read secret
testimony taken by the For
eign Relations Committee. He
said statements by both Lem
nitzer and Dulles were in the
transcript.
Held 'Inconclusive'
Goldwater fetorted lie !:ad
read that testimony, but that
in his opinion it was "incon
clusive." Morse answered he
wanted a "jury of the Sen
ate" to decide whether it was
inconclusive.
The move by Senate Repub
licans to investigate the Bay
of Pigs fiasco brought cries
of "politics" from some Democrats.

Scenic Area Created
Along Oregon Coast
Salem -JUPP- Oregon's fifth
scenic area has been created
by the State Scenic Area Com
mission, it was announced to
day. The newly-designated area
extends along U.S. 101 jne
mile south of the Highway 26
junction to Arch Cape tunnel,
at Oswald West state park in
Clatsop County.
Joint Session
Hears Review
Of Constitution
Adoption of Entire
Document Urged
Salem (UPD - The authors
of a proposed new constitution
for Oregon presented to the
legislature Tuesday what one
drafter called "a document
that can serve the state well
for the next 100 years."
Members of the Oregon
Commission on Constitutional
Revision reviewed their prod
uct for two hours before a
joint session of the Senate and
House.
George Layman of New
berg, chairman of the commis
sion, urged the legislature to
"think in terms of the whole
document."
Two-Thirds Needed
The draft - if approved by
two-thirds of the House and of
the Senate - would go before
the voters. If approved by the
people, it would replace the
present Oregon constitution,
drafted in 1857, and amended
111 times over the past cen
tury. Laymen urged the legisla
ture to submit the document
to the people in its entirety,
instead of offering piecemeal
amendments.
Members of the commission
gave an area-by-area rundown
of the new document.
Executive -,Sprague out
lined the plan for the gover
nor as the sole elected offi
cial, up to 20 departments,
and department heads named
by the governor subject to
Senate approval. He said it
recognizes modern govern
mental trends and "fixes re
sponsibility in the executive
department clearly and
firmly."
Legislative Former Gov.
Robert Holmes said the sec
tion provides for two legisla
tive houses, equal-representation,
a reapportionment com
mission, and annual sessions.
Judicial Judge Herbert M.
Schwab said the section pro
vides for a uniform system
of state courts headed by the
Supreme Court, judges ap
pointed by the governor and
later rat'fietl oy the oiers, a
non-partisan judiciary, rule
making powers for the Su
preme Court, and elimination
of the Justice of the Peace
courts.
Finance and Local Govern
ment - Sen. Donald Husband
reviewed sections retain i n g
city and county home rule,
providing for metropo 1 i t a n
districts and peoples utility
districts, and setting o u t
ground rules for taxation and
bonding.
Bill of Rights -Multnomah
County Dist. Atty. George
Van Hoomissen said the new
draft offers a "strong bill of
rights" that retains basic
guarantees, expands some,
and omits archaic sections.
Elections and Amendments
Rep. Stafford Hansell said
these sections retain basic vot
ing requirements, but include
provisions giving the legisla
ture new powers in writing
election laws and making it
harder to amend the new constitution.
Durno Warns on
Creeping Socialism
Portland - (UFD - Former
Rep. Edwin R. Durno warned
Tuesday of "creeping socia
ism." Durno, a Medford doctor
who gave up his House seat in
an unsuccessful bid for the
Republican Senate nomina
tion, said the Kennedy admin
istration's program includes
85 requests for more money
and 28 requests for increased
executive power.
He- told a Rotary and Ki
wanis club luncheon the pro
gram is "masterminded by
college professors and pseudo
liberals, very few of whom
had ever previously descend
ed from their ivory towers."
Durno said the country was
spending itself into bank
ruptcy and socialism.

Cigarette Tax
Bill Introduced
In Oregon House
Salem -(UPD- A lax on cig
arettes of four cents per
package was proposed in a
bill turned into the House to
day with 19 sponsors from
both parties. '
. :The request is the gover
nor's. It is designed to raise
$18 million in the next blen
nium to help finance a $405
million general fund budget.
. It is the companion piece to
the governor's "net receipts"
income tax bill, aimed at rais
ing $31 million in new
revenues, which was read to
day for the first time in the
House.
Money Requests Appear
The tax bills arrived as
new money requests appeared
in both chambers.
In the House, a bill re
quested, by the State Depart
ment of Education was in
troduced calling for a $30
per child increase in basic
school support during the
1063-65 biennium.
It would cost some $33 mil
lion, and bring the state's
share to $150 per child. The
increase is three times what
Gov. Mark Hatfield has called
for.
Senate Gets Bills
In the Senate, a bill was
introduced at the request of
the State Board of Education
clarifying the framework for
community college develop
ment. The board hopes to keep
community colleges growing.
Another bill is expected, how
ever, from the Interim Com
mittee on Education, calling
for a freeze on community
college development for the
next two years because of the
stale's money problems.
Highway Use Taxes
The Senate also received
bills to adjust highway use
taxes, to require employers to
provide safety equipment, to
expand the workmen's com
pensation filing time for ag
gravated injuries, and to
authorize rural facilities for
mentally retarded children.
Reps. Winton Hunt (R
Woodburn), Norman Howard
(D-Portland) and Edward
Branchfield (R-Medford) spon
sored a bill to increase the
limits on state veterans' real
pfoperty loans.
Annua Reduction
Of Debt Proposed
Committee Plans
To Study Solutions
To Water Problem
An investigation should be
made toward formation of a
possible water district either
for the Westwood subdivision,
south of Ross lane, or for the
entire area, it was decided
last night at a public meeting
of area residents in .the Wcujf
Side school. - ,. " .
Ernest Niedermeycr, West
wood subdivider, was elected
chairman of a special commit
tee to study possible solutions
to the water problem in the
area. He was to appoint his
committee members later.
It was suggested perhaps
water could be contracted for
from Medford Irrigation dis
trict to overcome the area's
growing shortage of pure wa
ter. Last December Chief Coun
ty Sanitarian Orie Moore sent
a letter to the Jackson county
planning commission saying
the health department was
withholding approval of a
proposed extension of Nieder
meyer's Westwood subdivision
because of water well con
tamination. Health depart
ment approval is required for
an FHA loan. Other loan
agencies follow this policy.
Hat Two Permits
Jack Hoffbuhr, Medford Ir
rigation district manager, said
this morning MID has two
permits from the state engi
neer's office allowing it to
divert water for domestic pur
poses. , It would be too ex
pensive to operate the district
during winter months for that
purpose, he said, speaking for
himself, and not his board of
directors. Water also would
be needed for two other plan
ned subdivisions near the
Westwood subdivision, he
said.
Ten of 28 houses sampled
for water supply recently
showed contaminated wells,
County Sanitarian George
Runyan reported last night.
There were 56 houses in the
subdivision.
"This contamination keeps
cropping up in the subdivi
sion." Runyan told last night's
audience. "You might get by
100 years without serious ef
fects and you might not. Once
contamination becomes wide
spread it becomes difficult to
clean it up."

individual home -owner's at
tempt to solve the problem,
Gerow said.
The sanitarian explained
that loose soil on top of clay
has created the problem of a
septic tank feeding into the
water table. When the West
wood subdivision was new
and a few houses far apart,
the problem was not as notice
able. However, Gcrow pointed
out that the West Side school
two years ago was served by
water by water tank trucks
until it installed huge water
tanks. in Its .baswenw.. .,-,,
Other facts brought but in
eluded the fact that wells in
the subdivision are 35 to 40
feet deep, some transient con
tamination does occur, and in
dividual chloriators are ex

sistently to be effective.
Officers Attend
Course on Seizure
More than 50 law enforce
ment officers from Jackson,
Josephine and Kamath coun
ties are in Medford today for
the second of two sessions of
a school which concerns mat
ters of searth and seizure.
In Medford for the school
is Special Agent John H. Mac-
Lean, who is with the Port
land office of the federal
bureau of investigation. The
other instructor is Jackson
County District Attorney Alan
B. Holmes.
The school is being held
through the efforts of the
Medford police depart men!
and the district attorney's of
fice. The purpose of the school
is a training session to discuss
new court opinion regarding
the legal aspects of search and
seizure. MacLean is one of
several FBI agents who had
recently received such instruc
tion in Washington, D.C.
In addition to local law en
forcement officers attending
arc representatives of the

Portland Firm Is
Awarded Contract
For Testing Soil
The Pittfburg Testing Labo
ratory, Portland, has been
awarded the contract for soil
exploration on the approved
site for construction of Med-
ford's proposed post office and
federal building, Robert J.
Kceney and Wilmson, Endi-
cott and Unthank, architects,
announced today.
The architects received
three bids for the investiga
tion and awarded the contract
to the low bidder for $3,001.
Other bidders were North
west Testing Laboratory, Port
land, and Cornell, Howland,
Hayes and Merrificld, Cor-
vallis.
. The Pittsburgh Testing Lab
oratory is now authorized to
proceed with the work, which
will include boring five ma
jor holes, 40 to 100 feet deep,
on the two plots, the block
bounded by Eighth and Ninth
sts. on the north and south
and Holly and Ivy sb. on the
east and west; and the addi
tional 75 feet south of the
block.
As the contractors bore,
they sample the soil and re
port on the various strata and
water conditions, Kceney explained.
The architects are requiring
moisture density tests, con
solidation tests, direct shear
terts, grain size tests, limits
tests, Tri Axial compression
tests and relative density
tests. These tests enable the
architects to determine the
type of footings to design for
the building.
House Passes First

Salem - (UPI) - The House

1963 Oregon Legislature to

too easy to augur things to
come.
The bill returns appraisal
of Eastern Oregon timber
lands to the county assessors,
who have been sharing the
work with the State Tax Com
mission. The bill went to the Sen
ate. Until today, only resolu
tions had passed cither house.

Business Degree
Program at SOC
Given Approval
89 Additional Hours
Also Are Granted
Ashland The state board
of higher education this week
approved a four-year bachelor
of science degree program in
business at Southern Oregon
college.
The board also granted 89
additional course hour offer
ings at SOC. Notification of
the new courses is expected
from the chancellor's office
later this week, SOC officials
said.
With the additional 53
hours granted to fulfill the
courses necessary to round out
the business degree curricul
um, SOC gained 142 hours.
Some hours were dropped in
order to eliminate courses no
longer necessary.
Dr. Loy Prlckett, chairman
of the business department,
commented that the new de
gree is "a sound degree and
one which is badly needed by
the college in order to con
tinue serving southern Oregon
as a truly regional institution
of higher education."
On Small Business
"In our program," he con
tinued, "the emphasis will be
on small business a direct
result of several years of plan
ning by faculty members and
consultations with local busi
nessmen." "In 1955, the SOC advisory
committee, composed of cit
izens in the area, suggested
that the regional college func
tion would be better met by
instituting such a degree, and
in 1957 the College Education
al Policies committee approv
ed the function, clearing the
way for its presentation to the
board." he noted.
For the first two years, the
courses taken will be pre
dominately those of a general
educational nature with the
next two years concentrated
in the major arca of business
administration. ' '
One and two-year terminal
business programs will be
continued, it was explained,
with the emphasis on the
shorter, non-degree courses
placed largely on secretarial
science and merchandising.
Course hours added to other
departments and divisions in
cluded home economics, 3
hours; education and psy
chology, 3; health and physi
cal eduation, 5; humanities,
25; library, 3; music, 6; science-mathematics,

Warning System
Satellite Said
In Difficulties
$400 Million Spent
On Project So Far
Washington-JUPD-The costly
MIDAS satellite warning sys
tem, designed to detect hos
tile missile firings aimed at
the United States, was re
ported today to have been
cancelled.
The Air Force would con
firm only that one installation
connected with the system, at
Ottumwa, Iowa, was being
abandoned.
"The research and develop
ment program on the weap
ons system referred to is con
tinuing, but a review indi
cates that the Ottumwa facil
ity is not now needed," the
Air Force said.
Informed sources said, how
ever, that the MIDAS project
had run into difficulties. They
estimated that $400 million
has been spent' on it so far.
Search for Substitute
This would be even more
than the $350 million spent
the bomber-lauched Skv-
bolt missile before the admin
istration cancelled it.
The "research and develop
ment" which is continuing in
MIDAS is in the nature of a
search for a substitute, some
sources indicated. They said
there is now no plan to so
ahead with MIDAS "as an
operational system."
Rep. John Kyi (R-Iowa) also .
has said that the Air Force
pparcntly had scrapped
MIDAS.
The MIDAS was a system
Intended to detect missila fir
ings by use of infra-red sen
sors which could "feel'' the.
heat; of rocket engines.
In theory the MIDAS could
fly over the Soviet Union and
warn the United States of
possible attack.

Red China Loses
Soviet Nuclear Aid
London-(UPH - Red China's
progress toward Dccoming a
nuclear power has been con

withdrawal of all Soviet help,
authoritative sources said to
day.
Until the ideological con
flict developed between the
two giants of communism,
Russia was aiding Communist
China in nuclear research for
peaceful if not military
purposes. Now, even this small as
sistance has stopped.
All Soviet-supplied nuclear
reactors have remained, how
ever, and it is largely, if not
exclusively with their help,
that Red China apparently has
been producing sufficient
uranium to date to work up
some nuclear device nearing
the experimental stage.
