Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, JANUARY 31. 1963 MLDIOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Birthday Cake for Robert F. Kennedy Has Three Candles By JOHN HERBERS United Press International Washlngton.-lUPIi-On Robert F. Kennedy's 37th birthday a few weeks ago, aides took him a cake topped with three cand les. "Why three?" The attorney asked. "Each is for a branch of the government you run," an assistant replied. That story, now making the rounds in Washington, is, of course, a distortion. Robert Kennedy "runs" neither judi cial, legislative nor executive arms of the government. But during the two years that his brother has been president, his influence has grown tre mendously. He is more than adviser to the president and administra tor of the broad powers of the justice department, le carries out top-priority ignments for the White Houw that have no relation to his job as at torney general. Has Many Projects During a typical week re cently, the No. 2 Kennedy in the government had these "outside" projects underway: -He oversaw negotiations for the tucessful return of 1,113 Bay of Pig invasion prisoners from Cuba. -He flew le Brazil to tell the president of that coun try that the president of his country expected some sem blance of political and eco nomic stability as a prere quisite for U. S. aid, -He brought the Amateur Athletic union and the Na tional Athletic association together in an attempt to settle a fight that has threatened to wreck the 1964 U.S. Olympic team. Hoffa Trial At the same lime, he had several balls in the air within Justice department jurisdiction-including the trial of Teamsters Union President James R. Hoffa on a conspir acy charge at Nashville, Tenn.; bringing of criminal contempt charges against Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett, and prose cution of the Communist Par ly in the United States for failure to register as an agent of Moscow. In the midst of one of these busy periods, the attorney general might be seen casual ly emerging from his office for a breather, clad in sweater and slacks, in need of a hair cut and looking like a college student home for the week end. Robert Kennedy first got in volved with outside projects when the president appointed him to investigate the General Intelligence agency following the April, 1961, Cuban inva sion attempt. Then last year he became more deeply in volved in international affairs after he and his wife, Ethel, made a god-will trip around the world. Cuba and Berlin Cuba and Berlin arc his main interests and he has had a hand in all U. S. moves in volving them. People from around the world troop to his fifth floor command post over looking historic Constitution avenue. The attorney gen eral has a direct line to the While House and he fre quently puts the president on the telephone to speak to the visiting delegation through a loud speaker on his desk. It is almost like a visit to the While House. His office has come to re semble a curio shop, contain ing such items as a stuffed tiger, a U. S. marshal's helmet damaged in the University of Mississippi riots, and paint ings by his children. Has Enemies Robert Kennedy is not with out his enemies. A large num ber of them are concentrated in the deep South where com posing "little brother" invec tives has come to be a favor ite pastime. He has enough of the New England abolitionist strain in him to infuriate some Old South citizens who might tolerate h i s brother Jack. At the same time, the at torney general is enough of a politician to slay on good terms with people like Sen. James O. Eastland of Mis sissippi who is both cham pion of segregationists and chairman of the Senate ju diciary committee. Dynamo of Enery Whatever his motives, the president's brother is a dyna mo of energy, cast in the role of a crusader. He gave a clue to this in a recent speech cele brating the 100th anniversary of the freeing of the slaves: "The energy which causes people ... to strive for ful fillment of the pledges of the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation Procla mation is essentially moral en ergy, and it has no end." Grange News Phoenix Grange During the recent meeting of Phoenix Grange Mr. and Mrs. Lon Martin and Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Martin were elect ed to become members. They were formerly of Fort Klam ath Grange. Most of the evening was devoted to social activities put on and planned by past lecturers. There were songs led by Vaughn Quackenbush with Mrs. George Hartley at the piano. Two skits on the program were one by Mr. and Mrs. Mervin Hixson and the other by Mrs. Hartley, Mrs. Lloyd I.acy and Mrs. Quackenbush. Dee Hendrickson, a visitor from Central Point Grange, recited two poems. A tableau was acted out by Mr. and Mrs. Olin Poe and Mrs. Hixson. Mrs. Poe also read an article on why we have ritualism. The serving committee for the next meeting will be Mr. and Mrs. Leo Thomas and Merle Simmonds. Washington fisheries pro duce about five-ninths of the total supply of salmon for the United States. Bus, Passengers Stranded in Ditch Newport, Ore.-UPli-A Grey, hound bus with four passen gers aboard was stranded for two hours some 10 miles north of Toledo Wednesday after sliding into a ditch. There were no injuries. The driver, A. K. Landers, Salem, said the bus lost trac tion on Highway 20 near Pio neer Mountain and began slid ing backwards. A tow truck from Newport pulled the bus from the ditch after about two hours. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Queen, Philip Leave lor Fiji Islands The U. S. was without navy from 1763 to 1789. if ' r p PIGGLY WIGGLY London - IUPU - Queen Eliz abeth and Prince Philip fly to the tropical Fiji Islands today on their way to an eight-week tour of Australia and New Zealand. The royal couple scheduled two brief stops, at Vancouver, B.C., and Honolulu on the 10,-600-mile trip to Fiji, where they will spend two days. They are leaving behind a crisis over the collapse of Britain's effort to enter the European Common Market and a new surge of winter snow, ice, freezing tempera tures and a fuel shortage. In Fiji, a royal banquet awaits Elizabeth and Prince Philip-pork, native fruits and vegetables and the Fiji royal drink, yanggona. The drink, reported to look and taste like dirty dishwa ter, is a must for all visitors to the islands. According to tradition. Queen Elizabeth cannot refuse to drink a half coconut shell of yanggona. From the Fijis, the Queen and her husband will board the royal yacht Brittania for the 1,500-mile trip to New Zealand. The yacht will be their headquarters during the tour. They plan to return to England in March by plane from Perth, Australia.

JANUARY 31, 1962 Oct. 1 2 Storm Said Worst in Nation's History in Article C 5 Corvallis - The Columbus Day "Big Blow" that ripped Oregon and the Northwest stands as the worst wind storm in the nation's history in terms of forest and struc tural destruction, the latest issue of Weatherwise maga zine reports in an article by three Oregonians. Weatherwise is published for the American Meteorologi cal Society. Authors of the Fred. W. Decker, head of at mospheric science branch, Oreson State university: Ow en P. Cramer, Pacific North west Forest and Range Experi ment station; and Byron P H a r per, Bonnervillc Power administration. Forests of the West Coast suffered their greatest disas ter in the Oct. 12 storm with early estimates of 5 billion board feet of timber in con centrated blowdowns and an other 5 billion in intermingled windlhrown and standing trees that will have to be re moved, the report notes. Annual Log Production This approaches the annual log production of 13 billion board feet in Oregon and Washington together. ""jijj "j j The value of the wind blown timocr alone amounts to S200 million, but operators hope to salvage much of the loss, the article says. A tre mendous threat exists, how ever, in possibilities of a bark beetle epidemic, authors warn. Downed timber provides ideal egg-luying and feeding areas for the beetles that can multi ply at a staggering rate. No other wind storm has caused such tremendous dam age to forests, it is noted. The (anions New England Hurri cane of 1938 blew down 2.65 billion board feet of timber; Ihe Great Olympic Blowdown of 1921 caused timber losses esetimalcd at 8 billion board feet; and the December 1!I51 Northwest storm downed 9 billion board feet. Winds were of record-ticing proportion also in the Oct. 12 storm, when gusts of 120 knots lashed the Oregon and Washington Coasts. Winds of about that same force were reported for the "big storms" of 1880 and 1951 in the North west.

(UPI) Board Rejects College Request Of Oregon City Salem -IUPU- Oregon City's request to continue its com munity college program was rejected here Wednesday by the State Board of Education. The Oregon City school board currently is operating a post-high school education center under temporary one year approval. The current program ex pires June 30. The board said its rejection was based on the failure to establish a post high school area education district in Clackamas county. The board also said the present program Is serving mainly high school students who want technical-vocational education. Fails in Election A proposal to establish a Clackamas county area edu cation district failed in the May 1!IK2 election. Dr. Edwin C. Ditto, super intendent of Oregon City schools, said the nearest fa cility offering daytime post high school courses of a simi lar nature is in Salem. The board suggested Ore gon City could restructure its program, limiting enrollment to high school students, and still receive state aid from special vocational funds. The board approved financ ing of migrant education pro grams during the current school year at Nyssa and at Monitor. The next board meeting was scheduled at Salem March 5.

Chairman Howard W. Smith (D-Va.) said he guessed it wouldn't be long before they arranged a nice trip to the moon, but reminded Space Chairman George P. Miller (D-Calif.) that the us ual State Department bag man would not be there to pass out hatfuls of money. Space was one of only five of 20 House committees that got the Rules Committee's nod today for travel beyond the United States and iis lev. ritorics and possessions. All the rest were told to stay hom?, except one, Pub lic Work3, which can stray no further than Canada. Heretofore, the Rules Com mittee's efforts to limit over seas travel have met with lit tle success, because previous travel curbs have applied only to congressional tourism fin anced by cash American dol lars. So-called counterpart funds, foreign currencies owned by the United States in dozens of countries, were freely avail able to any traveling con gressman, whether or not his committee had House permis sion to travel.
