Cuts in School Fund Said Not Idle Threats Editor's note: Predicted ma jor cutbacks in the ititt'i education program in case of defeat of the legislature's $60 million tax increase measure at the Oct. 15 election are not threats.

The state's total budget for 1963-65 totals more than $1.2 bil lion. Of this, $404 million is in the general fund. The other $800-plus million is made up of dedicated funds, such as gasoline tax revenue which goes for highways, or fed eral matching funds for welfare, or the total federal support of the department of employment: It's that $404 million in the general fund that's, at. issue. That's the money the legisla ture or the governor can. conj tl'0l. .; More than half that $404 mil lion goes to education. More than one-third of it goes to basic school support alone. Basic school support is money the state gives to local school dis tricts. Threat Not Intended The governor, legislators and education officials aren't trying to threaten anyone when they warn a defeat of the tax bill will -have a major effect on ed- ucation Here's where that $404 million goes: $234 million for education, $16 million for new buildings, $50 million for welfare and so cial services, $36 million for public health and mental hos pitals, $27 million for public safety, $11 million for natural resources, and $30 million for all other operations, One way to shave $60 million from this general fund budget ! is to cancel the $16 million build I ing program, and make an across-the- board 1 1 per cent cut in all other expenditures. 1 Because education totals $234 ; million $141 million of it the $170 million that does not go to education without destroying oth er programs. This is why state and educa tion officials shouldn't be ac cused of trying to use education as a "threat." If the cuts be- come necessary, education will the tax measure fails. Entrance I requirements will be raised to freeze enrollments at their pres ent level. This would mean about I 3.000 Oregon youths would not : be able to enter college next year. Most of the building pro gram would be postponed, and tuition fees would be raised. Lower education's problem is , mufn more complicated.

Tito, Kennedy Schedule Meeting In Washington Session Viewed As Important WASHINGTON ( UPI )-T h e White House announced today that Yugoslav President Tito will meet here with President Kennedy Oct. 17 for a "whole exchange of views." It will be Tito's first visit to Washington and his second meeting with Kennedy. The President, then a senator, saw Tito briefly as a member of a Senate group which visited Yugoslavia several years ago. Although the get-together was described as "informal," admin istration officials viewed the meeting as important because it will give Kennedy a chance to gain first hand impressions of the Yugoslav leader. Tito, al though a Communist, plays a significant role within the neu tral bloc in most East-West issues. To Tour Americas Tito will visit Washington fol lowing a Latin American tour. It will be his only trip to the Western Hemisphere except for a visit to the United Nations in 1960, when he met with then President Dwight D. Eisenhow er. Recently, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev went to Yu goslavia as Tito's guest. Tito has influential views on East-West issues ranging from Berlin, disarmament, nuclear testing, how the West should deal with the Russians. He ad vocates that the major powers spend less on arms and more on aid to underdeveloped count ries. It is expected that all of these subjects will be discussed by Kennedy and his visitor. The Kennedy administration also hopes to give Tito an in sight into U. S. policy and better acquaint him with members of Congress.

The man was Nikita S. Khrushchev and the job was first secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Com munist party, which rules the Soviet Union. Khrushchev, now 69, has been at the top of the Krem lin roost ever since, and is likely to stay there as long as he wishes.

Nhu Would Go To America To Dispel Tales BELGRADE. Yugoslav i a (UPI) South Viet Nam's Mme. Ngo Dinh Nhu, who ac cused President Kennedy of appeasement, said today a visit to the United States for her may be like entering a "cage of lions." The p e tile sister-in-law of South Vietnamese Presi dent Ngo Dinh Diem told newsmen she wants to go to America to counter all the "horrible things being said about me in the press." She said the "great majority of Americans are good," but she added they must be told of the "plot" against her family's regime in Viet Nam and its han dling of Buddhist and student oppostiton. "But it may be as my brother cabled when he heard t may go to America don't send her into the cage of lions," she said. Mme. Nhu took the spotlight at the opening of the 52nd an nual conference of the Inter parliamentary Union. She heads her government's delegation. Talking to newsmen Wednes day night she accused President Kennedy of appeasement in con nection with the trouble in South Viet Nam and said he was mis informed. This morning, she flared in obvious anger when talking of reports that Washington had sought her husband's removal from power. "This has been going on for two weeks," she said. "It is a terrible thing for America's rep utation. I know I could never go to a foreign country and ask a foreigner to get out of his country." She said removal of her hus band from his position was de- i sired in order to get him and her out of South Viet Nam. "Why?" she asked. "Why do they want me out? It is my counti-y. There is no reason to wish us out of it. "It would please some people if I did get out. But I cannot do everything to please everybody just because I'm a nice girl." Security Periled, Goldwater Says WASHINGTON (UPI) - Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) said today his Cuban reservation to the nuclear test ban treaty is "pertinent" not partisan and would not require renego tiation of the pact with Russia. But he told the Senate in a prepared speech that the treaty would not be "one ounce more acceptable to me" even if the Senate accepted his reservation. He said the pact imperils U.S. security "over all the world." Goldwater, currently favored in public opinion polls for the 19M GOP presidential nomina tion, complained that any changes in the treaty are being ruled out and "all that is wanted is consent."

Welcome Assurance Will Be Sought by Portland NAACP Sometime during October, the Portland chapter of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People will re quest assurances from Med ford, Ashland and Grants Pass city officials that Negroes would be "welcome" in this area. The announcement of the im pending NAACP action was made during an interview in Portland Wednesday with May- field K. Webb, president of the Portland branch. Webb said the move was plan ned as a result of a meeting at the Winema hotel in Klamath Falls on Aug. 24 and 25 between representatives of the Portland and Klamath chapters of the NCAAP. Resolution Was Passed At the meeting a resolution was passed declaring the intent of the organization to take ac tion" on some "problems" in this area. Webb said city officials of the three cities will be notified of the resolution by mail during October, and the city councils will be urged to adopt state ments during a public meeting that Negroes would be welcome to use such facilities as motels and restaurants, or to become permanent r e s i d e n I s of the communities if they should so choose. The chapter president, a law yer and the father of six chil dren, said that his group had received some complaints dur- j ink uie 9UIUIIICI tij KLKiiKn wno nau receiveu icm innii nua pitable treatment in this area. He cited in particular a Negro family which arrived 15 min utes late to claim a reservation at an Ashland motel, and were told that their reservation had been cancelled.

"My wife and I talked it THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER This was his way of telling the world that he intends to stay on the job for the rest of his life and scotch earlier ru mors of his impending resig nation or dismissal. Actually, Khrushchev be came party chief about two weeks after Josef Stalin's death in March, 1953, when the late dictator's triumvirate of successors, Georgi Malen kov, Vyacheslev Moiotov and Lavrenti Beria, apparently not trusting one another, de cided to give the post to a relatively "harmless outsid er." The formal title of first sec retary was conferred on him by a plenary session of the Senator Cher Seng k..J I I... - f.J...nfr "WUB- a silent orotest airalnat suffering over," Webb said, "and we de cided to just sit quietly and wait it out." They were final ly served. The lawyer hastened to say that this area was not consider ed a prime trouble spot in the state. He said he had received assurances that the three com munities were no longer "sun down" towns. "We hope that is true," he said, "but we just want to be sure." Webb said that if any of the three cities should decline to pass a resolution that Nearocs would be welcome in the com munity, the Portland chapter of NAACP might send some peo ple aown 10 "test" Its motels and restaurants. He said he considered Port land to be the area of most con cern to Negroes in the state. Oregon law forbids discrim ination in public places because of race, creed or color.
