Selft-supporting parks appear possible onlv when the s'ate owns the entire lalw or recrea tional area and can make charg es for all services and facilities provided. Collins said.

Mark Hatfield hinted today. The governor told a meeting j of the Mental Health Planning j Board that defeat of the tax measure could result in an S8. 3 i million cut-back in budgets for mental health operations. "This amounts to more than ! the total budget for operation of Columbia Park and Dam-; masch hospitals. o ' "Closure of these or other in stitutions would be deplorable, but it is obvious that in the event the tax measure is defeat ed, and in the absence of legis lative action, reduction of equal magnitude would be required," he said. Hatfield said. "I believe that a vote against the tax bill would do irreparable harm." He added: "I can assure you that state officers and employ ees will abide, by the election decision whichever way it goes." All Have Stake "11 is not my purpose to make either threats or promises," Hat field said. "However, I do feel obliged to remind you that each of us has a stake in the coming election." The governor insisted "no per son should be denied services because of cost beyond their ability to pay. The public should be provided with full and com plete information about mental health services, resources, and costs." He said the l!)li.'l legislature budgeted S":i.5 million to the mental health division of the Slate Board of Control for oper ation of the mental institutions, and assistance to local commu nities. Dark Possibility "Ironically, at the moment we should be planning to better meet public needs, we must now look at the dark possibility of a reduced program." Hat field said. He said increased taxes were needed "largely because of the growth in population of our schools, universities, penal and other state institutions." Hatfield commented "general ly overlooked is the fact that Oregon stands near the bottom of all western states insofar as per capita state taxes are con cerned, with only Idaho and Montana having a lower bill." The governor's comments key noted a day-long meeting called ID outline areas to be studied under Oregon's MO0.O0O federal mental health planning grant. Suspects Quizzed In Racial Bombing BIRMINGHAM.

Fear French Safely The mounting tension between the loyalist and dissident camps caused worry among French au thorities for the safety of the 100,000 French residents still living in Algeria. French Ambassador Georges Corse (lew to Paris for consulta tions. But French authorities said there was no question of halting the gradual repatriation of the remaining French forces due to be completely evacuated by the end of next year. Time For Struggle In his order of the day. Col. El Hadj said to his Berber tribesmen followers: "The time has come to launch a decisive struggle against the dictatorial regime. Let us close our ranks against which the Ben Bellas and the Boumcdienncs (Defense Minister Col. Houari Boumedicnne) and other crea tures of the fascist regime shall come and shatter themselves. Rejoin me in my combat. To gether, we shall finish the police regime and set up democracy which will give the right of speech to all revolutionaries."

Far East Naval Contingent Also Being Bolstered Moves Believed Precautionary LONDON (UPI) The Soviet Union was reported tod .iy in ha strengthening its guards along the frontier with Red Chun and its naval forces in the Far East. Diplomatic sources said both moves appeared to be precau tions prompted by the worsen ing Sino-Soviet conflict. The strengthening of border guards was believed designed to discourage any further inci dents along the disputed fron- . tiers in the East. The show of naval strength in the Far East appeared largely aimed at Asian public opinion, as a reminder that the Soviet. Union has important political stakes in the area and thn strength to defend tncm. No Clash Expected No immediate clash was an ticipated between the two Com munist giants. Moscow, believed anxious to avert any deteriora tion in the conflict with Peking, was apparently taking precau tionary measures to diseourago any possible Peking mililary moves. Russia last month claimed that more than 5,000 holder vio lations had been committed by China and indicated the troubles was continuing. Moscow also gave a direct warning to Peking to stop i's "provocations" or face a "deci sive rebuff." The Russians did not spell out the nature of Iho rebuff they had in mind. There have been uncouth mod reports that Russia may bn shifting some of its forces in East Germany to the Chinesa border. Thc figure of a few divisions" was mentioned. No Movement Seen Russia has aboul '.'2 fully equipped divisions in Earl Ger many. There have been no dis cernible signs lo dale of an" major Soviet Iroop movements away from Europe and diplo mats considered Ihem unlikely at this stage. Trouble on the border between China and Russia involved twi main areas along lhe 3,500-mila border. Peking hus reminded Russia that czarisl Russia incorporator! considerable Chinese areas into what is now Soviet territory. !n the northeast, the disputed terri tory involves land east of thn Amur and Ussuri rivers, leader; down lo the vital Soviet port of Vladivostok. In the northwest, Asian mi norities are fluctuating between thc two Communist countries on the Sinkiang Kazakh border, causing friction and more re cently border incidents.
