can stop talking about
''sacrificial lambs" and start
' . looking for "lions" in the
' 1864 Presidential race, Gov.
Mark Hatfield of Oregon said
today.
f Things are so bad with the
Kennedy administration now,
be said in a' speech to the
Young Republican national
Convention, that Republicans
re in an excellent position
.' to win the election- if they
work hard enough.
' Hatfield summed up the
situation this way:
: ; "The unrest of Negroes, the
distrust of white southerners,
the potential powder keg of
Haiti, the confusion over Cu
ba, the worsening youth era-
" ployment picture, the eye-
opening report of the Clay
committee on foreign aid, the
lost confidence of Canada,
? the eruptions of relations with
. France, the stalmate in Laos,
the bluff of the Berlin wall,
the intensified activity of the
Far Right, the farmer turn
down of the wheat referend
um, the squabbles, over - de
fense contracts, argue well
for a Republican victory for
its national ticket in 1964.
"A few months ago," he
said, "a Kennedy victory
; seemed to far too many Re-
publicans as inevitable. There
' was talk of sacrificial lambs.
! "But today we are looking
s for lions and we have a num
ber who can spell out the is
sues for what they are. We
have had two and a half years
',; of hesitation waltz, of gov
i ernment by guess and by
gum ..."
Hatfield urged Republicans
I to rally in support of their
i principles and to achieve
" unity within the party once
I the GOP standard bearers
have been chosen.
I He also urged attention to
1 state and local races so that
: "when a Republican president
walks in the White House in
January of 1965 he will not
I only have a Republican Con
X gress but Republican state
.. houses across the land as well,
supported by Republicans in
i the counties and in the legis
? latures."

Number May Change
It was understood here that
the White City code number
might be changed since the
post office is to become a
branch of Medford. The Zip
code numbers were being as
signed before plans for the
transfer reached completion,
Bradford explained.
The first digit, or "9,"
stands for the Pacific Coast.
The second digit, "7" indicates
the state of Oregon and the
third digit "5," identifies the
sectional center, which is
Medford for Jackson and Jose
phine counties.
In addressing mail the Zip
Code number should be placed
on the same line and one
space after the name of the
state to which the letter is be
ing sent, the postmasters
pointed out today.
"When the project moves
into full swing, the United
States will have Uie most mod

postmasters noted.
Tax rarag To Hecoi: to
Without Hatfield's' Signature
Special Session
Could Do Worse,
Governor Says
Referral To Voters
Still Possibility
Salem - (ITD - Gov. MBrk
Hatfield announced Tuesday
he would let the 1963 legis
lature's $60 million tax in
crease package become law
without his signature.
He said he didn't like it
but that he didn't believe
special session of the legisla
ture could do any better, and
that it might do worse.
Hatfield made the an
nouncement just before leav
ing for California to speak
to the Young Republican con
vention in San Francisco.
No Alternative
Hatfield said, "A legisla
ture that fails to provide a
final budget and revenue pro
gram until a few hours be
fore adjournment leaves the
executive with virtually no
alternative as to approval or
disapproval of its actions."
The bill, he said, "com
pounds the inequities of the
present impact of taxes on
our citizens." But, the gov
ernor said, he was not con
vinced that reassembling the
legislature would result in
any improvement. Indeed,
he said, "the result could be
worse."
Referral Move Planned
A special session could re
sult if the measure is referred
to voters and beaten by them.
Albany weekly newspaper
editor J. Francyl Howard has
announced plans to lead a re
ferral movement.
The legislature provided
for a special election Oct. 15
should enough signatures -
23,185 - be gathered to refer
the tax program to the voters.
Hatfield's statement said
the legislature rejected the
tax program he offered and
added, "Oregon must one day
face up to the need to over
haul-our' tax program, and
the action taken by the- legis
lature, as reflected in this
bill, does precious little to
ward that necessary goal."
Must Become Law
However, he said, "This bill
must be allowed to become
law so that orderly govern
ment 'can continue and so
that essential public services
can be provided.":
Under the tax increase pro
gram a single person with a
$5,000 income would pay an
additional $33 a year in in
come taxes, a couple an addi
tional $28, and a family of
four an additional $28.
A single person with an
$8,000 income would pay $43
additional, a couple $49 addi
tional, and a family of four
$66 more.

Kennedy Takes
First Hand Look
At East Berlin
President Given
Wild Reception
Berlln-fllPIUPresident Ken
nedy peered across the wall
into the East German strong
hold of communism today and
told cheering West Berliners
that the "winds of change are
blowing across the Iron Cur
tain." The President got his first
close-up look at the Commu
nist world when he visited
the Brandenburg Gate and
Checkpoint Charlie on the
Berlin wall the Communists
built two years ago to halt
the flow of refugees to the
West.
After his sober gaze at the
shadowy world of East Ber
lin, the President went on
to tell wildly enthusiastic
West Berliners in a speech
that he was proud to stand
with them on the ramparts of
freedom, declaring In Ger
man: "I am a Berliner."
The acclaim from a million
Berliners in his eight-hour
tour of this divided city 110
miles deep inside Communist
territory was overwhelming
in its size. Its obvious spon
taneity and its emotional im
pact.
Greatest Reception
"This is the greatest recep
tion the President has receiv
ed anywhere in the world."
said White House Press Sec
retary Pierre Salinger.
A crowd of almost a quar
ter million persons lammed
into the vast square before the
city half to greet Kennedy
witn tne greatest mass ova
tion in the history of this split
cny.
At the famous Brandenburg
iate Between East and West
Berlin Kennedy went a ton a
special platform that made it
possible for him to see com
munism close up for the first
time.
View Limited
Because the Communists
had hung long, wide banners
close to the opening of the
gate, the President's view was
limited at this point.
A few minutes later he
strode up to within two or
three yards of the boundary
line of the divided city at
Checkpoint Charlie, the only
crossing point for Americans
into East Germany. He did
not cross the line, but he again
stepped up on another special
platform to look into East
Berlin.
On the eastern side of the
border control post East Ger
man soldiers holding subma
chine guns stood impassively.
Some watched him through
field glasses.

KENNEDY MOBBED IN BERLIN Berlin children are

May Be Modified
Washington - HJPII - Ally
Gen.. Robert F. Kennedy said
today "that If Congress insist
ed the administration wouia
go along with modifications
in the thorny public accom
modations section of the Pres
ident's civil right program
But he made clear that he
did not want to exempt small
er establishments because
what is Involved Is a mat
ter of discrimination." The
aim is to make sure no one
is denied access to public fa
cilities because of race.
Kennedy was questioned by
Chairman Emanuel Ccllcr (D-
N. Y.) as he appeared before
the House Judiciary commit
tee to open the battle for his
brother s seven point pro
gram.
Cutoff Point
Celler asked If "It would
not be wise" to select a cut
off point under which hotels,
motels, restaurants, lunch
counters, stores and places of
amusement would be exempt
ed from the public accommo
dations plan. Celcr said the
cutoff might be based on dol
lar volume. .
Celler said thai under the
present approach there would
be long delays before the
courts determined what the
term "substantial" meant in
terms of Interstate travel and
the use of goods shipped
across state lines.
The attorney general,
speaking before a densely
crowded hearing room with
long lines still waiting to get
in the chamber, said Ccllcr'i
suggestion had "a good deal
of merit."
"If Congress wants to de
fine this more explicitly,
Congress has the right to do
that." Kennedy said, "and we
would be willing to work
something out."

YOUTH SAVES SIX IN FIRE
Roseburg - UPI) A li-year-old
boy was credited with
saving the lives of six other
children when flames roared
through their home here early
today.
"If It hadn't been for the
exceptionally fine action of
James Burt, the other chil
dren undoubtedly would have
perished," Roseburg Rural
Fire Chief Cliff Phrasher said.
The boy and the six other
jiungter, aged 3 to 10, were
asleep in a second story room
of the frame home when the
fire was discovered about 3:54
a.m.
Phrasher said James herded
his sister and two brothers
and three cousins Into back
bedroom and forced them to
lie on the floor.
His father, Byron, had gone
for ladder and placed it near
the window of the back room.
James guided four of the chil

got the other two youngsters
outside.

uncle, William Ferrcn, and his
three daughters, aged 7, 9 and

Jacksonville City
Council Tentatively
Accepts Sewer Bid
Jacksonville The" Jackson
ville city cpuncll . last, night
determined . thai... the com
munity's proposed sewer sys
tem, can be constructed this
year-if at least 25 per cent
of the front footage assess
ments are paid in cash before
the end of the year.
The lowest ' construction
combination that the council
could accept would Involve
an expenditure of more than
$25,000 over the engineers
estimate.
But estimates of income
made by the firm of Cornell,
Howland, Hayes and Merry
field showed that even with
the higher construction costs,
the project could still be fi
nanced, providing that $48,
000 of the $189,000 total to be
collected front footage assess
ments can be amassed by the
end of the year.
Agree to Accept Bids
Councilmcn tenia lively
agreed to accept the bid of
R. A. Hcintz company of Port
land on both phases of the
project, $286,448.30 on the
sewer system and $57,198.90
on the pond. Hcintz agreed to
deduct $500 if both his bids
were accepted, so that the
total cost will amount to
$325,147.20.
The engineering firm's
estimate of the cost was
$299,608.80- $251,888.30 for
the sewer system and $47,
722.50 on the pond.
Sid Lasswell of the engine
ering firm explained that one
of the reasons why all the
bids were higher than the
engineering estimates was
that liability Insurance costs
on this project are about four
times normal. The possibility
of damaging historic build
ings and running Into mining
tunnels was cited as the prin
cipal reason for the hike in
Insurance costs.
Estimated expenditures on
the sewer construction job
now total $399,800, with
$325,000 for construction,
$40,600 for engineering serv
ices and $34,100 for miscel
laneous items such as land
and right-of-way acquisition
and legal expenses.
Estimated Income
Total estimated Income is
$403,800. This figure Is brok
en down as follows: connec
tion charges (385 homes at
$150 each) $57,800; bonds.
$245,000; Federal grant. $30
000; service charges, $11,000;
ad valorem tax levy of 15
mills, $9,000; front footage
assessments with roughly 25
per cent of $189,000 total
paid in cash, $48,000; and in
come from Interest, $3,000.
The council will meet again
next Tuesday, at which time
it will probably take official
action to accept the Hcintz
bids. Lasswell reported that
Intz could start construe-
lion, immediately following
the July. 4 holiday.
. The lowest combination of
bids actually would have been
M. J. Brassfield of Salem on
the sewer system with $254,.
420.15 and . Tccplcs and
Thatcher, Inc., of Portland on
the pond with $55,137. But
neither firm would agree to
take on the job unless It were
awarded both contracts.
There was some question
as to the legulity of Brass-
field's refusal to accept the
sewer system Job alone. His
firm's bid stated only that it
would not accept the contract
for the pond without getting
tlie sewer system projects as
well,
There was no written state
ment with the bid to the ef
fect that Brassfield would not
accept the sewer system proj
ect by Itself, but a subse
quent letter from the firm In
dicated It would not.
Councilman were advised
that they could accept Brass
field's bid on the system
alone and try to make It stick,
but they expressed opposition
to that course of action.
