All met in nearby Koulouba

shortly afterwards.
Diplomatic observers said
they had hopes the conference
could produce a cease-fire to

Morocco seemed far away.
Fighting broke out Oct. 8

Tax Court Upholds
State Assessments
SALEM (UPI) -The Oregon
Tax Court today upheld tax
commission assessments against
Roy L. and Margaret E. Shull
for the calendar year 1961.
Judge Peter Gunnar noted
that in 1060 the Shulls sold their
farm in Coos County to their
son, reserving a five year in
terest in the timber on the farm.
In 1961 the Shulls exchanged two
and a half years of their reserve
timber right for a dairy farm
in Coos County, and claimed the
exchange was tax-free.
In his decision, Judge Gun
nar held that the two properties
were not of "like kind" and
therefore n 0 t entitled to tax
free treatment.

Higher Education
Alters Policy on
Control of Money
Advance Approval
On Projects Planned
PORTLAND (UPI)-The State
Board of Higher Education Mon
day adopted a policy giving the
chancellor's office and the board
a closer control of funds from
gifts and grants.
Chancellor Roy E. Lieuallen
said the funds now amount to
about $25 million every two
years and are increasing. He
noted Secretary of State Howell
Appling had raised questions
about "adequacy of our account
ing practices" in this field.
The board said the policy
would allow it and the chancel
lor's office closer control over
procedures for handling t h e
funds without restricting free
dom of research projects.
Part of the policy said gradu
ation, education, instruction and
research are "inseparable" and
research is a "high yield invest
ment" vital to education and to
industrial and business growth.
To Meet Request
The board decided that ad
vance approval of various re
search projects should be ob
tained from the chancellor's of
fice so that future tax dollars
may not be committed heavily.
It agreed to meet Appling's
request for an internal fiscal
auditing system if money is
available from the 1965 legisla
ture, but Lieuallen said the pro
posals did not go as far as re
commended by the secretary of
state.
The board learned that the
state system came within 73 stu
dents of estimating this year's
enrollment at the nine state in
stitutions. The estimate was 33,
809 and enrollment was 33,736.
However, six schools had fewer
students than estimated and
three gained more than expect
ed. Action was deferred on a new
dormitory at Oregon College of
Education costing 5545,850 and a
heating plant costing $642,000 at
the University of Oregon.
Atlantic Alliance
Changes Proposed
PARIS (UPI) -French For
eign Minister Maurice Couve
de Murville called today for a
sweeping reorganization of the
Atlantic Alliance.
He asserted that the present
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization (NATO) is out-of-date.
But he said a major reorgan
ization will not be possible un
til other European members
pull their full weight.
Couve de Murville delivered
a broad foreign policy review
to the National Assembly as it
debated the foreign ministry's
1964 budget.
"France," he said, "has de
cided to play her own role in
defense." That, he said, is why
she has decided to pull the
bulk of her land, sea and air
forces out of NATO.
"The day when the other Eu
ropean members of the alliance
show the same will, reor
ganization of the Atlantic Alli
ance on a durable basis will
be possible," he asserted.

gained possession of North Viet
Nam."

based on an average cost of
$li25 per child patient.

ly will be necessary to close 34
beds at the Medical School hos
pital as a result of a $639,000

also apparently will be neces
sary to close 43 beds at the
Tuberculosis Hospital in Salem,
"all patients requiring hospitali
zation for the treatment of tu
berculosis will receive care.

Urges

the Negro is most identified

other iijigious groups."
Warning that "extreme right

"Our task is not a simple one,
but we can make equal oppor
tunity for all men in our so

Negroes were economic, social

no barriers against Negroes who
are qualified to compete for
jobs, "and we must help equip
the Negro to become qualified."
Priority List Is
Adopted by Group;
Submitted
The Medford Capital Improve
ments Committee this morning
adopted a priority list of "im
minently necessary" develop
ments, but recommended to the
city council that none of the
projects be undertaken until ex
isting city expenditures were re
duced. This was the final session for
the group, which has been meet
ing weekly for the last several
months to study the city's fu
ture capital improvements
needs.
The priority list was drawn
up in. two phases those.pxoj-
ects which should be undertaken
immediately, and those which
should be accomplished during
the next three to five years.
Forwarded to Council
The priority list report will
now be forwarded to the city
council for its consideration. No
recommendation was offered as
to the cost of the various proj
ects, nor was a specific time
schedule proposed.

list, however, the committee

today.
An application for route desig
nation was turned down last
week by the American Associa

Reason given for the rejection
was that the route was "not up

been assigned to the highwav

Adolph Menjou
Dies in Hollywood
HOLLYWOOD (UPI)- Adolph
Menjou, fashion plate film star
whose career spanned more
than 40 years, died today at the
age of 73.
The colorful actor set men's
fashions during the 30s when he
was named many times among
the nation's "10 best dressed
men," but dapper Menjou was
more proud of his motion pic
ture career than his wardrobe.
Upon graduation from Cornell
University in 1912, he joined the
Orbert McLaughlin stock com
pany in Cleveland, and later
that year made his movie debut
with the old Vltagraph Com
pany New York.
Attack
He said the consensus in
America today was that race
barriers must be wiped away,
and the Negro allowed to as
sume a place in society.
He said Oregon has good civil
rights laws compared to other
states, but the laws were mean
ingless if their spirit was not
reflected in the hearts of people.
He noted "when I was an in
fant they were burning crosses
in Southern Oregon, and the Klu
Klux Klan was an active force
in Oregon politics.
"Today we have a Roman
Catholic as president, and
from a small western state who
may be a presidential candid
ate." He lauded the Portland Board
of Education for establishing a

school segregation there, and to
upgrade education in culturally
deprived areas.

Cook Presses
For Legislature
To Decide Cuts
TILLAMOOK (UPI) - Stat
Sen. Vernon Cook, D-Grcsham,
has renewed his demand that
the entire legislature decide
where to make budget cuts as
a result of voter rejection of a
tax increase Oct. 15.
Cook lashed out at Senate
President Ben Musa, D-T h c
Dalles, Monday night in a
speech to the Tillamook County
Democratic Central Committee.
Noting that Musa had pro
posed that the 14 members of
the Ways and Means Committee
meet with the State Department
of Finance and Administration
to agree on cuts, Cook com
mented, "Tlic members of the
Oregon Legislature were not
elected to rubber stamp the de
cisions of Governor Hatfield.
Nor were we elected to delegate
our responsibilities to less than
one-sixth of the members of the
legislature."
"It is a shocking thing to have
the Democratic president of
Oregon's Senate propose that
budget cuts should be deter
mined by the governor's depart
ment o( r inancc, he said.
"To direct the Ways
and'
Means Committee to examine
the budget in one week is like
sending 13 men and one woman

more severe slashes might have
to be made.
As a result of the cuts, 42S
jobs were eliminated but about
200 of these positions now are
vacant.
Hatfield indicated more cut
backs might be in order if the

session Nov. 11, did not approve
a one-shot speedup of withhold

he has asked in the basic school
allotment.
The budgeted populations for
