(UPD Five Negro students returned to classes today at three newly desegregated Birmingham schools, triggering another row- M dy demonstration bv white stu I dents at West End High School. It lasted little more than an ri hour, however, and the jeering, flag-waving students had broken up into small groups and left the area, boycotting their class es. Attendance at West End, j where two Negro girls enrolled j Tuesday, was down sharply. All was calm at Ramsay High and Graymont Elementary j School with attendance down at both. About 60 white students troop- ed out of Ramsay shortly be I fore the classes started, i "I thought Ramsay had some guts," a young blonde girl ' shouted. "I thought Ramsay was proud of being white." While groups of twos and threes straggled out of Ramsay during the first hour of classes. A lfi-year-old Negro boy was among the students inside. Two small Negro boys who en tered Graymont, where attend ance was about one third of the normal .100, were sent home be cause they were wearing short trousers, apparently forbidden by school rules. They returned wearing long pants. , n Thirteen Negroes quietly re turned to classes with a dwin dling white student body at Tus kegee. A strong move was under way in the rural area 50 miles nni lheast of Montgomery to set up private classes for whites. In Mobile, the third city to lower the school racial barriers for the first time Tuesday, at tendance was up at Murphy High school. Two Negroes and 2,897 whites went to classes to day.

MEDFORD Recommendation of Federal Marshal Is Forwarded The Democratic state central committee Sunday sent its rec ommendations on appointment of a federal marshal for Oregon to the Oregon congressional delegation, State Party Chair man Lyle Spencer, Portland, said last night. The recommendations were made after a three-man com mittee appointed by the state central committee interviewed applicants and made a study of their qualifications. Three Jackson county men, Berle Stevens, Paul Hanlin, and Wallace Bowcn, have indicated their interest in the job. Spencer admitted those in public office should recognize the wishes of the central com mittee more, but said the com mittee had excellent coopera tion on the state level from the Oregon congressional delega- Hatfield Can't Reduce Basic School Allotment SALEM (UPD Oregon Gov. Mark Hatfield cannot make cuts in the basic school allotment, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said Tuesday. The ruling may mean that a special session of the legislature will have to be called if the 1963 legislature's $60 million tax increase measure is defoatod at the Oct. 15 referendum election. Hatfield told United Press In ternational "no decision has yet been made" on whether to call a special session. Thornton said the Basic School Support Fund was a "dedicated fund" and that appropriations to and from the fund are not subject to allotment controls by the Department of Finance and Administration act ing under authority of the gov ernor. Third of Budget It had been assumed that if Hatfield had authority to make cuts he might have made them himself rather than call a spe cial legislative session. The school fund totals $141 million, about one-third of the $404 million general fund budget for 1963-64. Hatfield had asked Thornton for an opinion on the legality of the executive branch making the cuts. It was the first time in more than four years the Re publican governor had asked the opinion of the democratic at torney general. Two Men Fined For Wanton Waste tpr,ced to 40 davs in Jackson county jaji tnjs morning in dis- j trict court on charges of wan - two men driving in tne Lime j Applegate area shortly after 1 midnight earlier this week. La- ter, they were seen repeatedly in the same area. After fur ther investigation, the two men admitted to running deer with their headlights and hunting during closed season. A deer was found in the woods later. AROUND THI OlOU MEDFORD, OREGON, by Demos tion, particularly after the state marshal appointment "has been kicketl around for two years." Spencer said President Ken nedy may come to Oregon in his announced tour of 10 west ern states and should know in two or three days of more defi nite plans. He complimented the local central committee on the large number of persons turning out for the recent Democratic non partisan picnic conservatively estimated at 600 which was more than Multnomah county was able to turn out. The precinct committee men and women cannot be passive if the party is to have winning candidates in the next election. Spencer said. He agreed with a recommendation by William Deatherage, Medford, that inac tive committee people should be replaced, but did not know how to do it and maintain party unity. Deatherage's recommen dation that all inactive workers be replaced will be considered at the next central committee meeting. Spencer said the state cen tral committee is urging every one to give the tax referendum thorough study prior to the Oct. 15 election. He said he person ally feels the referendum should not pass since it will result in a "donneybrook" in the state legislature if called into special session to consider an alterna tive state tax measure. State Rep. James Redden (D Medford) said the tax measure and the referendum would be explained completely during a special public meeting next Tuesday night in the Labor Temple, Medford. He cited figures to show that the combined federal and state tax totals would result in a comparatively small increase to the taxpayer since the elimina tion of federal tax deductions from the state tax would mean a larger deduction from the fed eral tax. The new state tax bill proposes to broaden the state tax base to make all those who use state public services to pay at least something. Federal Loan Is Approved for Talent TALENT A $1,400 federal loan to finance a study of the. proposed South Talent Sanitary district sewer system has been approved, the district board of directors announced this morn ing.

This is the second of a five part series. By 7,AN STARK SALEM (UPI) - Legislators and state acencies are so tear ful of defeat of the $60 million tav increase bill at the Oct. 15 election they are unintentionally contributing to its defeat. They seem to be over-reacting to public pressure for economy. An example is tne sepi. n meeting of the State Emergency Board. This is a group made up ot legislators, iney serve as um." watchdogs when the legislature is not in session. When state agencies need Oct. 15 Is Date For Roofing Lodge At Mt. Ashland ASHLAND - Target date for getting the roof on the lodge at the Mt. Ashland ski area in Ovt. 15, Alex Murphy, general man ager of the Ml. Ashland corpora tion, told members of the cham ber of commerce here Tuesday. The lower level of the lodge has been poured, he said, and work on pouring the second level is scheduled to start next week. Oct. 15 also is the date by which it is hoped the two ski lifts will be completed, Murphy said. "This will leave a whole month of time for testing the lifts before the time when the first snow should fall," he ex plained. Pleased With Progress Murphy said he is pleased with the progress that has been made on construction. The work has been slow at times, particu larly because getting materials up to the site involved a lot of work, he explained Regarding the access road now under construction, he said We have every assurance from the contractor that it will be fin ished in time for the season." A well will be drilled at the site, but if no good supply of water is found, there will be no problem, he said, because there is a spring half a mile away which can be developed. After Oct. 15, Murphy said he will start meeting with civic and ski organizations from Roseburg to Redding to promote the com ing season.

At the Sept. 6 meeting the Emergency Board refused to grant appropriations asked by the Justice Department and the State Tax Commission to imple ment new laws. Told to Juggle Resources Both ageniccs were told to juggle the money and people they already had, and to get the job done without any more money. Emergency Board members told the agencies a "tax revolt" was under way, and that they had to economize. The reaction of the man on the street is that the nnlv rpasnn economy is being stressed is be- cause the tax increase measure has been referred. He wonders if the legislators would have been as economy - minded if a referendum were not pending. The legislature set aside $300,- 000 to finance the Oct. 15 special election. The Emergency Board cut tniS to $275,000. This was pure window dress ing, because the law sets aside the full $300,000, and the full amount will have to be spent if it is needed. If that amount isn't needed, it won't he spenl, re gardless of the Emergency Board's action. But the man in the street thinks it is an economy move. Salary Cut Eyed At the previous Emergency Board meeting salary increases for state workers were approved only through the end of this year. The idea was if the tax measure is defeated, the salary increases would he withdrawn. But it may not work this way. The state can't play ping-pong with an employee's paycheck. If the tax bill is defeated some workers may he fired, or all may be forced to take days off without pay. But the basic sal ary rates will stay up unless the Civil Service Commission adopts a lower salary schedule. Emergency Board members are worried. They're afraid of what can happen to the state's government if the tax bill is de feated. They're sincerely concerned ahnut the state's education nro- I gram, which will be the hardest hit.

Letter Intended To Dispel Doubts On U.S. Security Dirksen Declares Support of Pact WASHINGTON (UPU-Presi-dent Kennedy, in a special let ter, todav gave the Senate his "unqualified and unequivocal as surances" that U.S. security will he protected under the nuclear test ban treaty. His assurances were given the Senate bv GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen in a prepared speech in which he declared his sup port of the pact and his willing ness as a Republican to "go the second mile" for peace. Adequate Statements The President emphasized that he believed the Senate already had received "fully adequate" statements from top administra tion officials assuring it of safe guards for security under the treaty. But he said he agreed with Dirksen and Senate Demo cratic Leader Mike Mansfield that it is "desirable to dispel any fears or concerns" among senators on the point. It was Dirksen who suggested that Kennedy send a letter to the Senate to allay any fears or doubts as debate on ratifica tion of the limited test ban pact began this week. Cites Protection Areas The President cited eight areas in which preparations would be maintained to protect the United States and the free world under the treaty which would ban all but underground testing. Kennedy particularly assured the Senate of action if Cuba should be used "either directly or indirectly to circumvent ac tion in response." This was aimed at the treaty reservation of Sen. Barry Gold water (R-Ariz.) who proposes that its effectiveness be de ferred until Russia's military base has been removed from Cuba. The other assurances given hy Kennedy covered underground nuclear testing, readiness to re sume atmospheric tests, expan sion of detection facilities, free dom to use nuclear weapons for defense of the United Slates and its allies, nonrccognition of East Germany, maintenance of a "strong weapon laboratory," and continued development of nuclear power for peaceful pur poses. Two Versions of Death of Harper Given at Trial GRANTS PASS Two separate versions of the death of Lloyd Miles Harper, who was found in a ditch near here on the night of July 12, came to light yesterday as the trial of one of the two mcn charged in the case got under way.

Minear pointed out the aver age Oregon teacher's salary is now about 25 per cent below the average salary paid in Cali fornia. He warned this could lead to depletion of the state's supply of teachers. Licuallen said higher educa tion would aim to maintain quality In its instruction pro grams, and would make cuts accordingly.
