Mental Health
Budget Cutbacks
Seen Necessary
Irreparable Harm
Seen in 'No' Vote
SALEM (UP!) - Defeat of
the tax measure at the Oct. 15
election could result in closure
of Columbia Park and Dam
maseh hospitals, Gov. 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.

Fear French Safely
The mounting tension between
the loyalist and dissident camps

thorities for the safety of the
100,000 French residents still

French Ambassador Georges

tions. But French authorities
said there was no question of
halting the gradual repatriation
of the remaining French forces

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

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.
