Khrushchev Hears
Western Plan To
Break Deadlock
Amabassadors
Talk To Premier
Moscow-OTO-The U.S. and
British ambassadors met with
Soviet Premier Nikita Khru
shchev today and were report
ed to have offered a compro
mise Western plan to break
the deadlock over the number
of on-site inspections under a
nuclear test ban treaty.
Reliable sources said the
United States and Britain
were understood to have pro
posed that a total of 30 in
spection be held over a seven
year period to prevent cheat
ing under a test ban. This
would average out to slightly
more ihan four inspections a
year.
Consistent Refusal
The Russians have consist
ently refused to go above two
or three inspections a year on
their territory.
The West had refused to
agree to a nuclear test ban
agreement that called for less
than seven inspections a year
to determine if any under
ground clandestine tests had
taken place.
U.S. Ambassador Foy
Kohler and Britain's Sir Hum
phrey Traveleyan handed the
Western joint proposal to
Khrushchev in an extraordi
nary Kremlin conference that
lasted 90 minutes. The meet
ing was shrouded in wartime
like secrecy.
Withdrawal Hinted
The meeting was held at
Western initiative after Khru
shchev had hinted Monday
that the Russians might even
withdraw their offer of a
maximum of three on-site in
spections yearly.
There was no information
available either from West
ern or Soviet sources about
how Khrushchev responded
to the Western proposals.
Western diplomats said,
however, it was a good bet
that Khrushchev had prom
ised to "study" them. But
they expressed doubt the com
promise plan would lead to
a break in the Geneva test
ban negotiations deadlock.

Senate Approves
New Workmen's

The new compensation
measure would provide uni

Opponents charged the
measure was a "three way"

Oregon Colleges
Raised by Board
Out-of-Staters
To Pay $900 Yearly
Portland -(UPD - The State
Board of Higher Education, j
I faced with legislative prod
j ding and the problem of
mounting enrollments, Tues- j
day hiked tuition for out-of-!
state students to S900 a year
at Oregon, Oregon State and
Portland State, an increase of
S270.
It also raised tuition for
resident students by S30 a
year at all state - supported
schools and non-resident tui
tion at other campuses by $60
a year.
The increases go into effect
with the 1963-64 school year.
Legislative Difficulty
Chancellor Roy Lieuallen
said the decision resulted
from necessity to face up to
the legislature's difficulty in
raising money. Last January
the board had ordered a $60
per year increase for out-of-state
students at the three
large schools.
The board raised the tuition
at Oregon Technical Institute
in Klamath Falls from $480
to $690 per year for out-of-state
students, with likelihood
of a $900 tuition there in
1964-65.
$330 for Residents
OTI, as well as Oregon,
Oregon State and Portland
State, will have a $330 tuition
for resident students starting
next fall, instead of the pres
ent $300.
Dr. James Jensen, president
of Oregon State, called the
non-resident tuition boost "in
ordinately excessive", partic
ularly for students working
their way through school.
It has been estimated there
will be 3,500 out-of-state stu
dents at the three larger
schools next fall.
Grade Average Hiked
Last month the board, in
efforts to reduce costs to tax
payers of educating non-resident
students, upped to 2.75
thf high school grade average
required for most non-resident
entry to Oregon, OSU
and Portland State.
The tuition at the colleges
at Ashland, La Grande and
Monmouth will go up from
$474 to $534 for non-residents
and from $364 to $294 for
residents.
At the Medical and Dental
schools the out-of-state tuition
will be $1,095 instead of
$1,035 and the resident fee
will be $687 instead of $657.
U.S. Army Troops
Going To Thailand
Washington - UPD - More
than 3,000 U.S. Army troops
organized into two battle
groups will begin arriving in
Thailand next month to par
ticipate in military maneu
vers, the Defense Department
announced today.
The two units are the 1st
Battle Group, 5th Infantry of
the 25th Division in Hawaii,
and the 2nd Airborne Battle
Group, 53rd Infantry, based
in Okinawa. They will be ac
companied by supporting air
craft and supply units.
The U.S. troop movement is
part of an eight-nation exer
cise which the Southeast Asia
Treaty Organization has call
ed the largest of its type ever
conducted by SEATO.
SEATO officials apparently
hoped that the maneuvers
would have a deterent effect
on Communists now stirring
trouble in neutral Laos on
Thailand's eastern border.

North Vietnamese
Accused by U.S.
Being Removed
Vientiane, Laos-flJPD-About
300 North Vietnamese, ac
cused by U. S. officials of
helping leftists in the Laotian
fighting, will be withdrawn
from Laos, the government
announced today.
An official communique
said the move was initiated
by the Communist North Viet
namese government, but there
was immediate speculation it
resulted from pressure from
neutralist Laotian Premier
Souvanna Phouma, or possi
bly the Soviet Union.
West Pressing Russia
Souvanna has been work
ing desperately here and in
the Plain of Jars battle zone
to head off more fighting
while Western diplomats have

A shadow was cast over the
peace efforts by reports from
London that Russia refused to

unless the declaration blamed
the United States for the trou
bles in Laos.
Ask ICC Supervision
The government communl-
aue said North Viet Nam de
cided to withdraw the "tech
nicians" from the Khang Khay
area in the Plain of Jars be
cause of the unsettled situa
tion there.
The North Vietnamese asked
that the International Control
Commission, which is charged
with supervising the truce es
tablished by the ueneva ac
cords, make arrangements for
removal of the "technicians."
It was the first time that
North Viet Nam has ack
nowledged publicly the pres

Harriman Will Discuss
Laos Crisis in Moscow
Washington (UPH- President
Kennedy said today he is
sending Undersecretary o f
State W. Averell Harriman to
Moscow Thursday to discuss
the Laos crisis.
Kennedy told a news con
ference that Harriman would
meet with Soviet Foreign Min
ister Andrei Gromyko and
would carry a "short message"
from Kennedy to Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev.
Harriman, a former ambas
sador to Moscow and recently
the State Department's top ex
pert on Laos has been in Paris
and London discussing the
Laos situation with officials
there.
His trip to Moscow would
be an attempt ( to persude the
Kremlin to live up to Khru
shchey's promise made to
Kennedy in Vienna in 1961
to restore peace to Laos.
Asked about the relative
threat of Russia and Commu
nist China to the United
States, Kennedy said he
thought It would be a mis
take to try to make that as
sessment. He said both coun
tries create "serious prob

he hoped the Soviet Union

Senator Defends
Bill To Stabilize
WteMuges
Washington-'llW-Srn. Clair
Englc (D-Callf.) today defend
ed his bill to stabilize the
Klamath and Tule Lake Wild
life refuges as being designed
to end a "pointless contro
versy." Englc, in testimony pre
pared for presentation to the
Senate Interior committee, ad
mitted his bill would be a
"concession" to agriculture.
"But it is a minor conces
sion and a proper one," he
said, adding that it was a
"small price to obtain united
support at last."
Also before the committee
was legislation introduced by
Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R
Calif.), which differed from
Englc's bill in providing for
maintenance of Tule lake wa
ter levels by the U.S. fish
and wildlife service.
Engle said the Kuchel bill
would permit the Interior de
partment to "ignore or abro
gate" the government's con
tract with the Tule Lake Ir
rigation district.
"I don't think congress
should Ignore this contract,"
he said
Engle said his bill and an
identical bill introduced in
the House by Rep. Harold T.
Johnson (D-Calif ) would pre
serve four national wildlife
refuges in the area, stop
further homestead entry on
the lands and maintain the
Tule lake water area al 13,-
000 acres.
But Englc denied his bill
would give the Tule lake ir
rigation district "arbitrary
control" over water levels in
the lake. He said some op
position apparently was based
on a 1959 Incident in which
the lake was pumped below
a "reasonable level" before
the Interior department step
ped in to maintain the level
high enough to preserve nest
ing areas of ducks and geese.

Kremlin's Stand
Sparks Fears of
Mounting Turmoil
Kennedy, Rusk
Discuss Situation
Washington -0ITO- President
Kennedy met today with Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk
presumably to discuss the
tense situation caused by Rus
sia's refusal to join Britain
in a Laotian peace appeal.
Although the White House
declined to disclose details on
the meeting, the Kremlin's
tough stand sparked fears of
new turmoil in Southeast
Asia. Russia rejected the idea
of a peace appeal unless it
condemned the United States.
New Hard Line Seen
Administration officials
speculated that Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev
might be adopting a new hard
line on all East-West issues
under strong pressure from
Communist China.
ip London, U.S. sources
said Undersecretary of State
Averell Harriman might fly
to Moscow in the next 48
hours to urge Khrushchev to
join this country's efforts to
keep the uneasy peace in
Laos.
There had been strnns
hints from the White House
earlier that such a peace mis
sion was under consideration
to remind the Soviet premier
oi his promise to Kennedy to
maintain a neutral, independ
ent Laos. The London re
ports said no. final decision
had been reached, however.
Someofficiab here thought
it possible the Sovlet-Slno
bloc had decided to sabotage
me ihi uoawva agreements
guaranteeing Laotian inde
pendence under a coalition
government. This could con.
front Kennedy with an agoniz
ing choice between U.S. mill.
tery intervention or watcbine
the Communists take over the
kingdom.
A state Department spokes
man said Russian alienations
that the United States, in via.
lation of the 14-nation Geneva
accords, was sending arms
and ammunition to govern
ment forces were "patently
false."

Six bids were received on the
