WELCOME HOME Miss Georgia Rea Hub
bard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Hub
bard of Eagle Point, gets a welcome home
kiss from her mother as she arrived back in
the Rogue valley last night following the
state dairy princess contest at Portland.
Miss Hubbard, who won the title of princess
from Jackson and Josephine counties, was
runner-up in the statewide contest. She will
represent Oregon in the national contest at
Miami, Fla. Sept. 14, however, because the
first place winner, Linda Olson of Coos
county, will tour the state and then attend
the national dairy convention in Philadel
phia next year instead of going to the
Miami event. Miss Hubbard will also re
ceive the same gifts, wardrobe and charm
course as Miss Olson. (Knackstedl photo)
Thornton to Give
Title to Revenue
Referral Measure
Salem-flJPU-Atty. Gen. Rob
ert Y. Thornton said today
he would assign a title for
the referral of the 1963 leg
islature's $60 million tax in
crease package "well within
the time allotted." .
A referral petition was
filed Thursday by J. Francyl
Howard, president of the Citi
zens Committee for Economy
and Equitable Taxation. '
Thornton, who is hosting
the annual meeting here of
Oregon district attorneys, said
"I'm tied up with the con
ference today," but will-get
to it as soon as I can.
"I don't expect to take the
full 10 days, but I can't say
now when I will have the
title assigned."
Second Petition
Meanwhile, there were still
indications another group
planned to file a second peti
tion to refer the tax increase
bill.
None but Howard's petition
had been filed with the sec
retary of state by midmorn
ing today, however.
House Speaker Clarence
Barton, who returned to the
capitol today after spending
the past week in Coquille,
urged defeat of the referral
measure. I
"People should realize if
taxes are not raised, education
will be hurt and property
taxes will go up.
"We could eliminate the
$11.5 million higher educa
tion construction program,
and drop the $11 million in
crease granted for basic school
support, but that would still
leave us $38 million short,"
he said.

Russian Premier
In East Berlin
For Celebration
Workers Marched
To Parade Route
Berlin - (UPD Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev flew
to Berlin today in an attempt
to match the personal suc
cess of President Kennedy's
visit to the divided city 48
hours earlier. He complained
that Kennedy's trip was "di
rected against the interests
of the German people."
The Soviet leader landed
at East Berlin's Schoenefeld
Airfield at 2 p.m. (6 a.m. PDT)
to attend celebrations next
Sunday of the 70th birthday
of East German Communist
party boss Walter Ulbricht
and perhaps to hold an East
ern Red bloc summit meet
ing. Directed Against People
In a welcoming speech Ul
bricht charged that Kennedy's
visit to West Berlin was "di
rected against the interests
of the German people."
I am in full agreement
with the remarks made by
comrade Ulbricht about the
Kennedy visit," Khrushchev
said in a six-minute reply.
East German Communist
authorities pulled out all the
propaganda stops to try to
put on a show to compete
with Kennedy's triumphant
visit to West Berlin last
Wednesday.
The streets through which
Khrushchev was driving from
the airfield to the East Berlin
City Hall and Ulbricht's offi
cial residence at Niedcrscho
enhausen were jammed with
tens of thousands of East Ber
liners. Big Difference -
But there was a big differ
ence between those who
greeted Kennedy and those
who came out for Khrushchev.
Kennedy's welcome by an
estimated 1,500,000 West Ber
liners was a completely spon
taneous turnout. East Berlin
workers were marched from
their stores and factories to
line the streets and cheer for
Khrushchev. Even housewives
were ordered out to line the
route of march.
Evans Valley Votes
Against Bus Service
Evans Valley - Voters here
yesterday decided to discon
tinue school bus service to
Grants Pass High school. At
the same election they approv
ed the Evans Valley School
district's proposed 1963 -64
budget.
Eighty persons voted to dis
continue the bus service,
while 70 voted to retain it.
The Evans Valley district has
only an elementary school,
and high school age students
are given a choice of attend
ing either Rogue River or
Grants Pass High school.
The voters initiated the bus
service to Grants Pass several
years ago. Last year, 18 of 64
high school age students from
the local district went to
Grants Pass. Bus service will
still be provided to Rogue
River High, however.
The vote of approval on the
budget was 86 to 66. The budg
et calls for a total tax levy of
$88,741.15, an increase of $1,
632.43 over last year. Money
saved from the discontinuance
of the Grants Pass bus service
will revert to the general
fund, to be used toward a fu
ture tax saving.

of a revised state program.
"One requirement that must be stated In the resub
