Latin America Said Facing Bangers From Red Subversion California Legislature Told How To Save $98 Million in Brown's Budget Sacramento - OIPD - The legislature was told today that it could avoid at least part of Cov. Edmund C. Brown's new tax progra mif it: Refused salary increases to state employees. Refused additional funds for the public schools because they would be used for teach ers' salaries. - The statement came from legislative analyst A. Alan Post, the lawmakers' fiscal adviser. In a 1, 000-page re view of the governor's S3.2 billion budget, he suggested cuts totaling $08.1 million. Actually, only about $65 million of Post's proposed cuts would affect the same fiscal area covered by the governor's tax program. The program, announced Feb. 4, would add about $165 mil lion to state Income next year. Brown would get the additional funds mostly by eliminating installment pay ment privileges for bank, cor poration and personal income taxes. The governor also proposed adding $151 million to state income the following fiscal year, 1064-65, mostly through adoption of a withholding tax on personal income. Post's re port did not cover this fiscal period. Post would achieve his $65 million cut by first eliminat ing $J0 million that the gov ernor requested for junior colleges, elementary and high schools. His proposals leave the school budget where it is: aknut C7QH millinn anniiullv Inlui some $40 million requir ed by law to cover enrollment growth. !jf the lp If GreatnessJl llll of historic 2 111 ora if SPlk Light, Mild.

Members of the Oregon Motor Transport association and Oregon Draymen's and Warehousemen's association have notified shippers that pickup and delivery service will be suspended during the three-day period, except for shipping emergencies. The groups represent major intercity and intracity com mon carriers throughout Oregon. Post explained that extra state aid for the schools would be used "largely to fi nance salary increases fur teachers and school adminis trators." But, he said, these salaries already "stand at the highest level in the country." Second, Post would refuse the five per cent raise for state employees that Brown is asking. This would abolish the need for '21 8 million to be raised by the governor's tax proposals. William Sproat Makes Dean's Honor List William A. Sproat, son of Robert O.

ISSUE OF THE MEDFORDIirRIBUNE Headway Made To Curb Influence of Cuban Activity Washington - l'PD - A top State department official said today Latin America faces great dangers from Commu nist subversion but "no country now seems likely to succumb in the foreseeable future." Assistant Secretary of State Edwin M. Martin told conges sional investigators that "headway is being made to reduce the influence and cap abilities of Cuba and the bloc and in controlling local sub versive activities of all kinds in each country." "Further deterioration of the prestige and influence of the present regime in Cuba, and its eventual replacement by a government freely chosen by the Cuban people, will contribute materially to reducing the threat but will not eliminate it," Martin said. The assessment was given to a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee as it opened a three-week inquiry into the growth and dangers of Com munist subversive activities in the hemisphere, emanating largely from Cuba. The hearing followed a week end of more congres sional debate over the United States' policies toward Cuba. In a statement opening the House hearings, Chairman Ar mistead Scldcn (D-Ala.) said Havana is serving as "the slagging and jumping - off point" for Red agents of all types. "In the last analysis," Sei dell said, "subversive aggres sion rather than outright mili tary aggression is the com munists' real hope to extend their empire in Latin Amer ica." Scldcn said that in Cuba "trained, armed Communist agents are the ultimate 'of fensive' weapons upon which Khrushchev relies in his plans to destroy the inter-American system." Other developments includ ed: Chairman John S. Slen nis (D-Miss.) of the Senate preparedness subcommittee said that if Soviet activities in Cuba were permitted to con tinue, U.S. troops might be fighting Communists in Latin America. Chairman J. William Ful bright (D-Ark.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said persistent political pres sures could force the admin istration to take "very un wise" action on Cuba that might have dangerous reper cussions elsewhere in the world. Allen W. Dulles, former director of the Central Intel ligence Agency said in an ar ticle made public Sunday that he saw no chance that the people of Cuba or any other Iron Curtain country would singe successful revolutions against their Red rulers. Senate Democratic Whip Hubert II. Humphrey (Minn.) said the United States should make it clear now that a C'a.stro-typc Communist take over in Venezuela "will not be tolerated." Willy Brandt Chalks Up Victory in West Berlin Portland Woman Accident Victim By United Press International Traffic accidents claimed one life in Oregon during the week end. The victim was Mrs. Anna Bclkoff, about 40, Portland. She was killed Saturday night when she was struck by a car in Portland. Now York -itlPI'- Jean Tala midis, a 19-yenr-old hrunette from River Kdgc, N.J.. has been chosen "Miss Greek In dependence." The 124-pound secretary will reign May 19 ns queen of the Grcrk Inde pendence Parade up Fifth ave. She was picked Sunday over 1!) other contestants in the an nual pageant. Berlin -WD- West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt, reelect ed in an overwhelming per sonal victory that sent the Communists staggering, today pledged a continued fight with the Western Allies to keep the city free. Brandt's Socialists gained support in Sunday's munici pal election at the expense of Chancellor Konrad Adenau er's Christian Democrats, re flecting apparent popular dis approval of Adenauer's new tics with French P r e s ident Charles de Gaulle. Political observers said the vote showed a general fear that Adenauer was drawing closer to France to the detri ment of the alliance with the United States and Britain, which West Bcrliners consid er vital to the city's defenses. Despite snow and sleet 89.9 per cent of eligible voters went to the polls. Destructive Rebuff The Socialist's victory was so sweeping that only the city's proportional represen tation electoral system kept them from winning all 134 seats in the city assembly. In a victory statement, Brandt said the result was "a destructive rebuff for the wall party" the Communists and a "tremendous vote of confidence" for his anti-Communist policies. Brandt promised that he would work hand-in-hand with the Western Allies to keep West Berlin from falling into the hands of the Commu nists. West Bcrliners, turning out in record numbers, showed cold disdain for the campaign threats and promises of t h e Communists. They gave the Reds only 20,887 votes, or 1.3 per cent of the total, for their worst showing ever. Regional Edition Page 2A MedfordTribune for Fait, Efficient Service- V.
