Use Of Breakage
Fees To Save Tax
Sparks Anger
By ZAN STARK
United Press International
SALEM (UPI) - A drive to
get University of Oregon slu
dents to contribute their break
age fees to a campaign to save
the state's tax measure Oct. 15
has sparked a wave of parent
resentment, United Press inter
national learned Saturday.
University President Arthur S,
Flemming said students were
beine asked to pledge the un
used balance of their breakage
fees to the campaign.
State Sen. L. W. Newbry, (R
Ashland), commented "parents
who have contacted me were
highly incensed at the pledges."
A. L. Ellingson, director of the
Varying Stands
Taken By Groups
On Tax Measure
By United Press International
Varying positions on the legis
lature's $60 million tax bill
which faces a special election
Oct. 15 were announced Dy or
ganizations in the state Friday.
The chairmen of both political
parties called for a "Yes" vote
on the tax bill, the House of Del
egates of the Oregon Medical
Society refused to endorse it and
the Eugene Junior Chamber of
Commerce went on record in
favor of a "No" vote.
The chairmen of both Ore
gon's political parties today Is
sued a joint call for a "Yes"
vote at the Oct. 15 special tax
election.
Republican State Chairman
Phillip J. Roth of Portland and
Democratic State Chairman E.
D. Spencer of Salem released
a statement, which said In part:
"The special election challeng
ing the State Legislature's 1963
tax program, needed to balance
the budget, presents a problem
rising above partisanship.
"Without approving or disap
proving of the form of this fund
raising measure, we urge a
'Yes' vote for it because the
welfare and the future of Oregon
and its people would suffer if
vital public services were cut
or removed.
"A 'No' vote against the en
tire tax package would result in,
among other things, immediate
drastic cuts across the entire
base of public education, hurting
the future of many of Oregon's
youngsters . . .
A medical society resolutions
committee Friday recommends
tion that the society support the
ballot measure died when mem
bers decided to take no stand.
Dr. William Scott, chairman
of the resolutions committee,
said the majority report issued
by his group reflected some dis
pleasure with the tax program,
but considered the situation
would become more chaotic if
the measure were defeated.
The society refused even to go
along with that stand.
The Eugene Jaycees Indicated
they favored a special session
of the legislature to consider
sales and cigarette taxes.
Lumber firm Agrees
To Pay Damages
TILLAMOOK (UPI) -Willamette
Valley Lumber Co. has
agreed to pay Tillamook county
$321000 in damages as a result
of a dam collapse on the Nesluc
ca River last November. The
company's Meadow Lake Dam
at the head of the river burst
Nov. 20, sending a wall of water
down the stream.
Student Union, was in charge of
the drive for pledges, Flemming
said.
Ellingson confirmed that
"more than $5,000" worth of
pledges have been turned in.
Money Will Be Borrnwnl
He said money for the lax
campaign would be "borrowed
from other funds, and repaid out
of the pledges at the end of the
school year."
Each stutlcnl is required 10
make a $15 breakage deposit,
and the average refund to stu
dents is $7, according to Flem
ming. The refund is paid at the
end of the school year.
"They are entitled to get Iheir
money back if they want it," he
said.
It Is a common practice here
to permit students to sign over
breakage fees to some cause.
Last year many students signed
their refunds over to the Devel
opment Fund. Students are not
required to sign over their re
funds," Flemming insisted. He
said he did not think any other
schools were following suit.
But Newbry said 'I don t think
it is in good taste. I think it
shows poor judgment on the part
of the university."
Parents Unset
"I've had lots of calls about
this from parents in the past
24 hours, and they are upset,"
Newbry said.
"I doubt the propriety of this
type of activity. I don't think
youngsters just out of high
school are well enough versed to
know if they should make a po
litical contribution.
"I think the students are
pledging on an emotional basis.
They are being asked to make
the pledges at a time when they
are confused because of the
rush of entering activities. 1
doubt if many of the students
even read the pledges, or if
they had any real choice."
Flemming said he was "not
sure of the technicalities, but
the pledges would be used as
security for a loan from other
funds."
"I couldn't borrow money
from a bank on that basis,"
Newbry commented.
Hatfield SaysHe'll
Cut if Bill Loses
SALEM (UPI) - Gov. Mark
Hatfield said Saturday that de
feat of the tax bill at next
month's referendum election
would he "followed Immediate
ly by substantial reductions In
slate spending, whether a spe
cial legislative session Is called
or not."
The governor did not indicale
whether he would call a special
session.
Hatfield said the constitutional
prohibition against a state debt
without a voto oi ine people,
and the statulc requiring that
expenditures match income, will
require that reductions bo made
immediately.
He pointed out that if the leg
islature decided to propose oth
er revenue measures, Ihey could
not go into effect until 90 days
after adjournment of the session
and that referendum petilions
could delay the effective dale
of a new law until lale next
year.
Ilatlield nnled, however, lii.ii
wilhnut authority to cut loral
school support payments, the
budget culs would need to he
approximnlely 25 per cent, and
there Is no cerlnlnly that Ihe
legislature would nulhoii.e a
cut in school support payments.
'A cut of about 14 per cent
would be required if basic school
support were included, he said.

The policy was asked by the
Planned Parenthood league of
Portland, which plans to open
a clinic Oct. I. The clinic would
dispense birth control informa

ly Saturday was whether a pub

Mrs. Peck, a Catholic, was
saying it shouldn't but she said
she wasn't speaking as a Cath

on whom the policy would be
"an unfair reflection."
An objection also came from
Dr. Paul Zuelke, Portland ob
stetrician, who also is presi
dent of the Catholic Physicians

"Lots of people In Portland
think that giving birth control
information to unmarried wom
en is immoral. It's not only a
Catholic feeling," he said.
M r s. John Catlin, Portland,
vice president of the Planned
Parenthood league, said the
clinic will fill a "real void in
medical services in Oregon."
"We feel strongly that child
ren should be wanted," she said.
Mrs. Catlin cited support of
the Episcopalian church and
other denominations.
She denied a charge by Dr.
Zuelke that Good Samaritan
hospital in Portland withdrew
support of the clinic when it was
learned unmarried women
would be referred.

Duncan Said Uneasy About Porter's Trip
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune
Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Special)
Rep. Robert B. Duncan is visibly
uneasy about the latest adven
ture of ex-Congressman Charles
0. Porter with the Cuban dic
tator Fidel Castro.
Duncan and Porter were
Democratic opponents for Ore
gon's 4th district congressional
seat last year and they are
likely to meet again in next
spring's primary.
Porter has gone lo Cuba,
ostensibly to do a magazin arti
cle for Look, but primarily to
try to persuade Castro to re
lease an estimated 75,000 politi
cal prisoners from prison. As a
lawyer, Porter has been retained
for this purpose by an Incorpo
rated g r o u p of the prisoners'
relatives.
Almost Speechless
When asked what he thought
of this mission, Duncan was all
but speechless for the first time
since he arrived here as a fresh
man congressman last January.
He didn't want to damn or en
dorse Porter's mission as such.
He knows that Cuba is still a
touchy political topic.
Moreover, Duncan suffers
from ambivalent feelings toward
Porter. On one hand, he wants
to be fair and treat this resi
dent of Eugene with the same
courtesy he tries to accord all
his constituents.
Thus, when Porter came to
Washington last week en route
to Cuba, Duncan's office pro
vided the usual service of set
ting up appointments Porter had
requested with b t a t e Depart
ment officials. To this extent,
Duncan gave an assist in Port
er's Cuban mission.
Wary of Political Aspect
On the other hand, Bob Dun
can is not dedicated to the
restoration of Charlie Porter's
Negro Girls Deny
PSC Discrimination
PORTLAND (UPI) - Two
Negro girls said Friday they
were not aware of any racial
discrimination when they went
through rushing activities of
Portland State College sororities.
All six sororities at the school
were suspended Thursday by
President Branford Millar for
alleged discrimination in fail
ing to pledge the girls.
Kathleen Williams and Kath
leen Gaskin said they attended
open houses held by the soror
ities Sunday and received bids
to invitational parties at some
houses Monday.
SNOW ELECTED
PORTLAND (UPI) - Obie
Snow, operator of four restaur
ants in the Portland area, was
elected president of the Rest
aurants of Oregon association
Thursday,
political forturs. Porter held
that congressional seat for two
terms, lost it to Republican Ed
win Durno for one term and
failed to regain it last year.
As Duncan knows, Porter is
preparing for another try and
is telling supporters he can beat
Duncan in a two-way race, that
the only reason he lost out last
year was that in a three-way
race Robert Straub of Eugene
took away enough votes to give
Duncan the nomination.
For his part, Duncan publicly
talks about not knowing wheth
er he will seek re-election. But
his behavior belies such a show
of indecisivencss. He flics home
to Oregon at frequent intervals
to build his political fences; and
Youth Injured
On Meadows Road
Kenneth Bolds Leard, 18, of
212 South Grape st., was injured
Saturday morning in a one ve
hicle accident on Meadows rd.
near the junction of Highway
234.
According to Oregon slate po
lice, the Leard vehicle was
southbound on Meadows rd.
about 10 a.m. when it went off
the right shoulder of the high
way, traveled back across the
highway and turned over.
Leard was taken to a doctor's
office for treatment of a broken
arm by a passing motorist. !
he has just bought a new home
in one of Washington's classier
suburbs, Lake Barcroft, Va.,
(where Pierre Salinger lives),
after renting for months in more
middle class Silver Spring, Md.
Given Duncan's deserved
reputation for squeezing the dol
lar (he buys mail order shoes
out of a catalogue because
they're cheaper, and he claims
better, than store boughts), his
investment in f 1 i g h t s to and
from Oregon and in a new home
suggest that he expects to serve
more than one term in Congress.
Pitched Right In
Nothing, indeed, indicates that
Duncan dislikes his new job.
Unlike many newcomers, he has
pitched right into a number of
debates, especially during House
debate on the Northwest re
gional power preference bill. A
national magazine in July rated
mm as one ot the 10 most prom
ising newcomers on Capitol Hill.
He has talked of runnino fniT-
governor, a natural aspiration -for
a veteran state legislator.
The more time he spends in
Washington the more his sights
are likely to shift to the U. S. -Senate,
providing he can hold
onto the most interchangeable .
congressional seat in Oregon.
As for Porter's mission to Ha-'
vana, Duncan feels that if his"
rival can do some good, then
more power to him. But he also
believes Porter has taken a
political risk in displaying his
good relations with thn i. nrwin
ular Castro and that if given.
enougn rope, uiarlie Porter will
hang himself politically.
