Challenges of Outer
Space Compared to
Those in the 1800s
The Legislature V
Defense
Dispute Draws
Wide Attention
Editot's not: The 141-day
1963 legislature cried, laugh
ed, joked and prayed together.
It was a session that had its
sensations, successes and fail
ures. This is the fifth in a
series of six articles on the
legislature.
"The rale of technological
change is increasing so rapid
ly we do not know what may
appear in the help wanted
columns a few years from
now," Dr. Fred Rosentreter
of Southern Oregon college
told members of the Southern
Oregon Historical society and
guests at the annual meeting
of the association held Mon
day night in the Jacksonville
Masonic hall.
Choosing "Uses and Abuses
of the Past" as the topic of his
address, Dr. Rosentreter main
tained that the challenges of
outer space today however, are
no greater tor this generation
than were the challenges of
the 1850s for the pioneers.
. The pioneers on the Apple
gate trail faced the blackness
of a volcanic wall. The astro
naut, in his capsule, contem
plates the blackness of outer
space. The wagon wheels
rumblins over unchartered
courses made sounds no doubt
as frightening to the occupants
of those covered wagons as
the blasts at Cape Canaveral
are to the spacemen today, Dr.
Rosentreter contended.
Prepared the Way
The first astronaut he com
pared to the first captain of
a wagon train. Each prepared
the way, making it easier for
those who followed, he point
ed out.

day tendency to present the
bandit and the gunman as
typical characters of the early
west.
'They were the exotics, the
exceptions, the s;eakcr de
clared. "They were not the
men who made the west. The
significant individuals were
the ones who kept alive the
standards of honesty and integrity."
To illustrate his contention,
Dr. Rosentreter told stories
of early Jacksonville, Scotts-
burg, the Donner expedition,
and the establishment of the
first mail routes.
"It's the struggle that
counts," he declared. In the
problems we face we are not
alone. Failure is only in the
immediate sense. From each
venture something in skills
and know-how is returned.
Many Orcgonians who were
drawn to California by the
gold fever did not fill their
pokes with gold, but they es
tablished areas of trade be
tween Oregon and California."

Salem - IUPI) - Oregon cre
ated a world-wide ripple when
it became the first state In
the nation to turn against civ
il defense.
"Oregon can lead the na
tion in having the guts to
abandon a program of digging
holes in the ground," Sen.
Ted Hallock (D - Portland)
urged as the Senate voted to
strip the 18-man agency to a
three - member coordinating
staff.
Gov. Mark Hatfield prom
ised a "bare knuckle" fight to
save CD, but could not enlist
public support.
The months-long battle was
fatally unnerving frT6car"CB
outposts. Portland abolished
its civil defense organization
Others served notice they
would do so, too.'
Said Helpless '
Legislators said the state
CD organization was helpless
during the great Columbus
day storm. They angrily la
beled CD a "do nothing" agen
cy. The nation, and the world,
watched. There were indica
tions Oregon may have spark
ed a chain reaction that could
sweep the nation.
House Speaker Clarence
Barton accused Hatfield of
flouting legislative intent
when he learned work had
started on a $36,000 CD head
quarters in the Capitol base
ment.
Workmen today are scurry
ing to complete the huge of
fices before the end of the
month - when the present CD
appropriation ends.
The session was highlighted
by a variety of sensations.
The Senate and House petu
lantly demanded the governor
disconnect the speaker in hij
office which allowed him to
tune in on floor debate.
The legislature replaced
worn out typewriters with
new electric models, and stir
red charges of excessive
spending.
Lobbyists Embarrassed
The controversial three-way
workmen's compensation bill
was so visciously lobbied that
legitimate lobbyists were em
barrassed.
Senators used their "remon
strance" period to blister the
governor. Hatfield countered
on his televised 'report to the
people."
Barton and Senate Presi
dent Ben Musa inaugurated
daily press conference so
they would have a platform.
The mother of nationally
famous athletic star Terry Ba
ker testified in favor of a
Sunday closing law. The meas
ure drew the biggest crowds
of the session before it was
killed in committee. '
Hatfield said legislators
were thin skinned over
their pay. hikes. There were
times when Hatfield was rub
bed raw by the ways and
means committee which tore
his budgets asunder.

One major problem , In

In that county, which is
about 40 miles south of San

Such an accounting might be

Hospital Officials Oppose
Cut in Indigent Relief Fund
Representatives of Jackson
county's three major hospi
tals yesterday afternoon
asked the county court to re
consider a tentative sugges
tion of transferrin", $9,000
from the county's indigent re
lief fund to meet the required
welfare budget. No decision
was made pending Monday's
public budget hearing.
The county budget commit
tee allocated $80,000 for In
digent relief (other than wel
fare) and $70,000 of that
originally was allocated to
Rogue Valley, Sacred Heart
and Ashland Community hos
pital to pay indigent patient
bills.
The hospital represent'
tlves stated they already are
contributing substantially to
the welfare program since the
money allocated for welfare
patients does not meet tneir
cost. Any reduction in the
county allocation might make
it necessary to raise the hos
pital bed rates for patients
who can afford to pay, It was
explained.
The county court said It
was sympathetic with the hos
pitals' needs and would make
every effort to compensate
for the $9,000 transfer if it
should be approved by the
budget committee. The sug
gestion on the transfer of
funds was originally made by
County Judge Earl M. Miller.
