In Frankfurt Talk
Speech Said Major
Address of Tour
Frankfurt, Germany -fl)?I-
President Kennedy pledged
today that the United States
would risk its own cities to
defend iti allies.
"A threat to the freedom of
Europe is a threat to the free
dom of America," the Presi
dent said in a speech at the
historic Paulskirche (St. Paul's
church), which is regarded as
the cradle of German democ
racy. A million cheering Germans
greeted the President as he
arrived here to make the
speech that was billed as the
major address of his 12-day-tour
of West Germany, Berlin,
Ireland,, and Britain. Report
ers who have traveled with
Kennedy said it was perhaps
the most enthusiastic welcome
he has received abroad.
The 20-mile route from Han
au, where the President re
viewed 15,000 American serv
icemen, was lined three to five
persons deep all the way.
The crowd in front of
Frankfurt's city hall, where
the President climbed out of
his bubble-topped car went in
side to sign the famous "gold
en book" of celebrities, was so
enthusiastic in its welcome
that it almost got out of hand.
While he emphasized de
fense matters, the Chief Exec
utive also called lor economic
unity and common political
purpose as requisites to suc
cessful Western resistance to
Communist penetration.
The main thrust of the
speech was aimed at interna
tional critics who have fore
cast that the United States ul
timately will welsh on defense
commitments to it, Western
Allies and revert to what the
President scorned as "narrow
nationalism."

Threat of Referral
Slows Plans for
New Construction
Board Cautions on
State Tax Measure
Salem - (CH - The threat of
a referral of the 1963 legisla
ture's revenue measure caused
the Board of Control to pro
ceed slowly today on planned
new state construction proj
ects. The board approved draft
ing of plans for several proj
ects, but made it clear nothing
else would be done, and no
construction work would be
started, until the question of
a referral of the revenue bill
had been settled.
The work approved today
by the board will cost about
$119,000.
The plans will be for sev
eral additions to state institu
tions. Gov. Mark Hatfield said the
additions were urgently need
ed, but he felt the board
should go slow until the re
ferral question was settled.
Secretary of State Howell
Appling Jr., and Treasurer
Howard Belton agreed.
The board also decided to
plan for spending only about
half of $500,000 set aside for
purchasing more property for
expansion of the Capitol Mall
area. Some property must be
purchased to make way for
the planned new agriculture
building. -
The balance of the funds
will be held back for use later
in the biennium.
The board also formally
transferred the tuberculosis
hospital in Salem to the Board
of Higher Education.
The hospital is to be oper
ated by the University of Ore
gon Medical school. Transfer
of patients to the hospital al
ready has begun.
Designation of Oregon State
hospital as Hie institution to
handle persons committed for
treatment as sexually danger
ous individuals also was made
by the board. ;
Titular Head of
Indian Tribe Dies
' Hornbrook - Sergeant Sam
bo, titular head of the Shasta
Indian tribe and one of the
last full-blooded Indians of the
area, died Monday night at
Siskiyou General hospital. He
was believed to be 10S years
old. - ... ... , .
Sambo had lived in Horn
brook for 20 years before be
ing admitted to a rest home in
Gazelle two years ago.
Head of the tribe which
once ranged from Jacksonville
to Shasta valley and west to
Quartz valley. Sambo was
born along the Klamath river
near Hamburg -during a time
when the Indians were mak
ing baskets from willows.
He was given the Indian
name "Ah Kee Ah Humpy,"
which meant "one who was
carried in a basket from a
place where baskets are no
longer made."
He drew the name Sambo
from' his father, who was
called that by white beaver
trappers in the 1840s and Ser
geant from soldiers who were
stationed at Ft. Jones in 1852.
The soldiers gave him a large
blue cape at that time, which
he kept all his life.
Later Sambo was a range
rider. Then after suffering an
injury he turned to cooking,
and cooked at the Hornbrook
hotel when the community
was a railroad division point.
During recent years h e
worked with anthropologists
and University of California
students in their studies of Sis
kiyou county and northern

Democrats Pick Atlantic
City As Convention Site
Washlngton-luTD-The Demo
crats agreed today to hold
their 1964 national conven
tion to renominate President
Kennedy at the famous board
walk resort of Atlantic City,
N.J., beginning August 24.
The convention will come
Just five weeks after the Re
publicans select their chal
lenger in San Francisco..
Barring some stunning poli
tical upheaval, the Democrat
ic convention will be devoted
largely to renominating Ken
nedy for a second term and
hammering out a party plat
form. Atlantic City - which never
has had a national political
convention - was selected by
the Democratic Party's sites
committee at a special break

for Its weatherworn board

William S. Potter of Dela

employees and urged them to
"continue working forward.
onward and upward to make '
this the best program In tht
nation."
The action came on tha
heels of Monday's public '
hearing on charges of "Inef
ficiency in office" against
Commissioner Emily P. Lo
gan. Mrs. Logan refused to
answer charges at the hear
ing, and termed- the affair a
'kangaroo court
Legality Questioned ' .
Her attorney, Ernest Bony-
hadi, questioned the legality
of procedures followed by
Hauieid, and said be had not
yet decided whether to take
the issue to the courts, or to
answer the charges in a pub
lic statement.
Mrs. Logan and Commis
sion Chairman Sidney B.
Lewis received dismissal no
tice, effective today, oa
June 11. Monday's hearing'
was set in case either wanted,
to dispute the charge.
Lewis resigned Friday, and
a few hours later Wilfred A.
Jordan, Coos Bay Republi
can, was named to succeed
htm.
Shortly . after Mondav'i
hearing, Hatfield named
Grants Pass Mayor Charles
b. uill Jr., a Democrat, to
succeed Mrs. Logan.
Monday s hearing was held
because Mrs. Logan refused
to resign.
Warne Nunn, Hatfield's ex-.
ecutlve assistant, read a five-
page statement which declar
ed "the functioning of the de
partment has deteriorated . . .
due in large part to the in-
cmciency of . Commissioner
Liogan. .. .
The statement was critical
ot the management exercised
oy ine commissioners. "The
arDiirary manner of that mm.
mission has caused an ex
tremely low Staff morula
which, through reduced pro
ductiveness, has been costly."
ine statement then includ
ed II sets of quotes from un
identified persons criticizing'
department morale.
"When the morals nrnhlom
had been' brought to the at
tention of the commissioners,
they denied that a nrohlom
existed," the report charged. .
"On several occasions th
two commissioners have met
on commission business and '
made commission decisions
without inviting the third
commissioner (William Calla.
nan) to be present. This is
nioieranie.
Nunn concluded: "The In. '
creasing coats of tha depart
ment, the inefficiency of op
eration, the low morale of
employees, and the deteriora
tion or the status of the de
partment in the eyes of the
legislature and the public are
a direct, result of the arbi-
trariness and lack of skill on
the part of commissioners
Sidney Lewis and Emily Lo
gan. Upon arrivlna at thin
conclusion, action was taken
to remove them from office."
Legality Questioned.
Bonyhadi then read exerpti
from a five-page statement -
questioning the legality of
noi providing Mrs. Logan
with specific charges.
' He said "the governor's
right of removal Is not abso- .
lute ... the right of removal
is prescribed and limited by
statute ..."
He charged Hatfield had
failed to give Mrs. Logan 10 -days
In which to prepare an
answer to the charges, as the
law required.
"We believe .your failure -to
supply charges in advance, "
as requested by Mrs. Logan,
denies our chance to prepare
a defense. It is unfair to Mrs.
Logan and the public."
He said Mrs. Logan was a .
person of "unimpeachable
reputation," and noted she
had been twice appointed to
the commission by Hatfield.
At this point Nunn inter
rupted: "Are you going to
discuss the charges?" '
Interrupted Again
Bonyhadi started to resume
his statement, then was in-'
terrupted again by Nunn, and
admonished to comment on
the charges.
Bonyhadi then asked that '
the hearing be adjourned "at
least 10 days to allow Mrs.
to prepare a thoughtful re-
sponse."
Nunn asked "are you ques
tioning the procedure?" ,
Alter conferring with Hat-,
field and Hicks, Nunn com
mented "the governor feels
the law has been complied '
with. . . ,
"We deny your request foe
a postonement. This hearing
