Red Cross Demonstrates Faith
Rests on Solid Spiritual Base
Arthur S. Flcmminc. president
of the University of Oregon,
spoke to 105 board members and
their guests at the annual meet
ing of the Jackson County Chan
ter ol the American Red Cross
Thursday.
Flcmming noted from (he UK3
American Red Cross Annual re
port that "the faith behind the
Red Cross says that the will of
people to help one another is
stronger than the will to mutual
destruction."
"This is the faith that provides
us with hope as we live in a
world that man is capable of de
stroying," he said. "This is the
faith," Flcmming added, "that
leads me to support without res
ervation the treaty on nuclear
testing that is now being de
bated in the U. S. Senate."
He went on to say that faith
without works is dead and the
American Red Cross, by its
works, has demonstrated that
this faith rests on a solid spirit
ual foundation. The Red Cross
has a $100,000,000 a year pro
gram of service that attracts
2,000,000 volunteers annually, ap
proximately 154 volunteers for
every paid worker.
Such a program speaks more
eloquently than words of man s
willingness to place at the center
of his life the commandment,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself," Flcmming noted. He
expressed the belief that the
American Red Cross is repre
sentative of America at its best.
Flcmming commended t h e
Red Cross on its amazing record
in the area of disaster services.
Realizing the importance of dis
aster preparedness as they do,
he suggested that they could and
should take the lead in insisting
that, as long as the threat of at
tack hangs over us, we be will-
Explanation Theory
Urged by Redden in
New Tax Program
Rep. James Redden ( D-Jnrk
son) culled upon state lenders
to abandon the approach of
threats and to adopt the theory
. of explanation when discussing
the state's new tax program.
In a recent meeting of the
Jackson County Democratic
Central committee, Redden con
tended that Oregonians must in
form themselves as to what is
in the tax bill, how it effects
them and what the alternatives
will be in the event of rejection.
Redden contended that this
in a Salem newspaper which
quoted Gov. Mark 0. Hatfield
as stating that advocates of the
measure should not explain it,
but should only discuss with
people what will happen if the
measure is defeated.
Approach Is Unfair
Redden contended that this
1 provisions for heads of house
holds and students.
Redden said it was the duly
of Ihe public to learn the mech
anics of the law, and to then
vote Oct. 15 with full knowledge
and realization of what their
vote would mean.
United States Reviews
Program in Viet Nam
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
United Stales is reviewing its
aid program and all other ac
tivities in South Vict Nam to
meet the "test" laid down by
President Kennedy that they
must help the war effort against
the Communists.
"What helps to win the war
we support." Kennedy told his
news conference Thursday.

ed that the measure had a good
chance of passage if the people
realized why a tax increase was
needed, where Ihe money was
to go, and what the measure
actually does.
Redden, in nn hour-long pre
sentation of the new tax hill,
gave background information on
budget and finances and ex
plained the main features of the
new tax bill. Among the high
lights: Oregon lias had no income
tax increase since 1955, while
expenditures for local school
support have increased 60 per
cent.
The surplus in the state
treasury, dwindling since the
war years, was finally exhaust
ed prior to the recent legisla
tive session. This meant that
the recent session was obliged
to raise additional revenue by
some means.
Session Cut Budget
That the recent session cut
Ihe budget from $42fi million to
$405.4 million before it utilised
the tnx.
That public and higher ed
ucation will receive 60 per cent
of Ihe present budget.
That local schools receive
$21 million of the increase in
revenues for a total of $141 mil
lion out of the $4(6 million hud
get in the next two years.
That total elimination of
welfare would save only $41 mil
lion. That elimination of the ex
ecutive, legislative and judicial
department of govern
ment would not realize suffici
ent savings to balance the budg
et. Redden then explained the
main features of the bill includ
ing elimination of the Federal
deduction, imposition of a mini
mum tax of $5 or I per cent
of adjusted gross, increased tax
payer benefits through increas- j
ing to prepare for a possible disaster.
He related his statements In
his experiences as Director of
Defense Mobilization under for
mer President Eisenhower when
he had occasion to sit in on a
number of top security meet
ings. He stated quite firmly that
he is troubled because people
have been unwilling to invest
time, money and energy into
preparation for a disaster which
we hope will never take place.
"Prepare for disaster, but do
everything in your power to pre
vent disaster," he told the group.
continued emphasis must be j
made on the home service pro-:
gram to the armed services and
their families and to veterans
and their families. It is easy, ac- j
cording lo Flemming, to over
look the opportunities to serve
in this capacity during a cold
war; however, dedicated Rod
Cross trained volunteers carry
daily program replacing
despair with hope in many serv
ice homes.
Feels Strong Need
He indicated that he felt a
strong need to focus attention on
youth programs stressing the
importance of training youth to
become conscious of their place
in society as future leaders and
providing opportunity for them
lo experience the joys of serv
ing others.
In addilion, he felt it import
ant that Red Cross continue to
expand and .support the blood
program, nursing services, safe
ty services, Gray Lady services
and the international program.
"As we rejoice in its accom
plishments through the last cen
tury we must recognize the im
portance, not of just continuing,
hut of strengthening our total
Red Cross program, so we can
look back on the next century
with an even greater sense of
accomplishment," he said.
r lemming concluded with
quotation from Albert Schweit
zer, "Red Cross is a light in the
darkness, and it is the duty of
all of us to sec that it never
goes out."
