Civil Defense
ml With
Jitters as leadline Clears
Federal Matching
Fund Decision
Due by Sunday
Salem -irt- Federal of
- ficials today rejected Ore
gon's request for civil de
fense matching funds.
By ZAN STARK -'V
Salem-lUPIl-A case of jitters
racked Oregon's civil defense
agency today as the deadline
neared for a decision on
whether federal matching
funds would be provided.
Only seven of the agency's
18-mcmber staff were still on
the job. The others have either
' quit or have been laid off
because of the cutback order
ed by the 1963 legislature.
The legislature cut the
agency to a three-member co
ordinating staff . attached to
the governor's office.
Federal officials said they
would not provide matching
funds so three additional staff
ers could be hired. Then they
indicated they might change
their mind. .
Sunday marks the end of
the current biennium. The
new coordinating council
takes over on Monday.
Nunn, Pittman Meet
Warne Nunn,- executive as
sistant to Gov. Mark Hatfield,
met with national civil de
fense director S. L. Pittman
last Friday in Portland. Nunn
said no decisions were
reached.
Nunn said he expected the
final decision earlier this
week.
Agency Director Rob
ert Sandstrom said he plan
ned to keep himself, radio
technician Joseph Vogt, and
Bookkeeper Donna Casey on
the staff.
He said" if federal funds
were approved, he also would
keep radiological defense and
shelter officer W. F. Cole
man, information director
Gerald Claussen. and proper
ty records clerk Fay Millie.
The future of 37 field hos
pitals, the marking of fall
out shelters, and stocking
shelters with emergency sup
plies is in doubt. Federal
matching funds could keep
these programs alive, he said.
Without the funds, he was
not sure what would happen
to these services.

Wirtz Asks Tools
To Combat Job
Discrimination
Negro's Economic
Plight Discussed
Washington - (UPD - Labor
Secretary W. Willard Wirtz
appealed to Congress today
for new tools to fight job dis
crimination by employers and
labor unions.
Wirtz said - a nationwide
shortage of jobs, lower quali
fications of many Negro job
seekers, and racial bias were
the main causes of the Ne
gro's economic plight.
He told the House Judiciary
committee that two provisions
of the administration's seven
point civil rights package
would attack discrimination
in hiring and promotions.
The labor secretary follow
ed Atty. Gen. Robert F. Ken
nedy in the witness chair to
open the campaign for the
President's proposals to lower
racial barriers. . .
Says Progress Mad
Wirtz said the President's
Committee on Equal Employ
ment Opportunity has made
amazing strides in halting dis
crimination by the federal
government and U. S. contrac
tors who employ 20 million
workers,'
About one-fourth of newly
hired workers in 105 compa
nies which have signed anti
discrimination pledges have
been from minority . groups,
he said. A total of 118 unions
have signed similar' pledges.
"Yet much remains to be
done," Wirtz said. He endors
ed legislation to make the
presidential committee perma
nent and to give the President
authority to block use of fed
eral funds in any project or
program that results in dis
crimination. ,
The labor secretary said a
special effort was being made
to get more Negroes working
on federal construction sites
in craftsmen's jobs.
