Musa, Barton Voice Ideas On State's Special Session (VMInr'n nnlei United Press International asked the Senate president and House speaker to comment on the special session which begins Monday. Their comments follow) By Senate President Ben Musi ; I anticipate the session ?U1 be austere, snort ana narmonwus, We have a very specific man date from our bosses, the vot- nra In rodllfo the 1963-65 blldg et, as originally adopted, by $60 million. It is my hope this can be ac complished without seriously in juring necessary state services ThA on rierilcated men and wo men of the legislature are well aware of tneir grave response hiliiv and will make a eood ac count of themselves, and all with reasonable dispatch. Rv StwflVfi Clarence Barton It would be my hope that the special session of the legisla ture will rapidly come to grips with tho nrnhlems at hand, will confine its activities solely to these problems, will solve tnem and adjourn. Thn ImmoriintA nrnhlem is to reduce state expenditures, to present state revenues, ine guv ernor is not only permitted, but is presently required uy law, 10 cut spending in those areas where ne can, to me ena mm outgo equals income. The attor ney general has given an opin ion that the governor cannot re duce basic school support with out permission by the legisla- fnca RnrmiRp nf the fact that basic school support comprises about W per cent or we sime a budget, it is my personal opin ion that it, too, should be sub ject to allotment control, other wise the area where reductions can be made is so small that many unfortunate individuals Vehicle Stolen in Area in Accident State police here said they have been informed that a pick up truck reported stolen from Ashland was involved in an ac cident 18 miles west of Grande Rondo Tuesday. ' The driver, Anthony Everett McCredie, 28, was hospitalized al McMinnville. State police headquarters in Salem has informed the Med- ford office that McCredie is wanted by authorities in Michi-gan. ' The auto was taken sometime after 6 p.m. on Monday from the Jim Busch used car lot. will suffer if the total reduction in the budget must be made from sources not including basic school support. My mail indicates that the people of Oregon support educa tion but they resent what they call "frills" in education. People in the field of public education should commence trimming their sails and eliminating these frills. If this is done, basic school support can be reduced and education will not suffer in fundamental essentials. Many people indicate that they feel a sales tax would solve Ore gon's problems. It may well be that it will help to solve them, though this has not been the ex perience in sales tax states. All states have their financial prob lems just as Oregon does, and the method of taxation that is used is not a panacea for these problems. It would seem to me that if the special session of the legislature were to attempt to write a sales tax bill, we would also, at the same time, have to rewrite the present income tax law completely and submit the two proposals to the people for their vote. I have never been an enthu siast for a sales tax, and if it is to be just another tax, my opposition to it will be intensi fies. I question whether or not there is time in the special ses sion to rewrite our entire tax code so as to present a bal anced new lax program to the people. It would seem to me that the course of wisdom would be to leave this for the tax in terim study committee, which will have the time and oppor tunity to do a workmanlike job on tax reform rather than to at tempt to accomplish this in the hurry of the special session. This is particularly true because enactment of any new tax will, in my judgment, require the ultimate approval of the people of Oregon and will not solve our immediate problem of balancing the governor's $404 million budg et with approximately $342 mil lion of revenues. This is the principal task of the special session. This we should do and then adjourn. Foreign Briefs KENNEDY DEFEATS GOLDWATEH IN 'ELECTION' STOCKHOLM (UPD President Kennedy defeated Sen. Barry Goldwatcr, R-Arii Thursday night in the first presidential "elec tion" of 1963. Thirty-four students, most of them Americans, from the Stockholm Institute for English-visiting students visited the Swedish Parliament and, to get an idea of the voting system here, were asked to "elect" a president under parliamentary rules. No figures were announced, but sources said Kennedy won "comfortably."

' Regional Edition Medford Page 2A miBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1963 Rockefeller Said Bothered by Two Major Handicaps By RAYMOND LAHR WASHINGTON (UPD - Gov, Nelson A. Rockefeller goes into his campaign for the Republi can presidential nomination with two major weaknesses his liberal image and his re-marriage. These two handicaps were factors often mentioned in a UPI survey of Republican gov ernors, state chairmen and na tional committee members, Party leaders in more than 40 states were contacted after Rockefeller's formal announce ment Thursday that he was a candidate. Long Struggle Seen It was taken for granted that the New York governor and Sen. Barry (Joldwater of Ari zona, a still unannounced can didate, were headed into a long struggle leading up to the Na tional Convention next July. Rockefeller was generally rat ed the underdog. A Rockefeller vs. Goldwater contest was commonly translat ed into a liberal vs. conserva tive race, although some GOP leaders contended that differ ences between the two men were overemphasized. Foreign policy, civil rights and welfare programs were cited as specific points of difference. There was little inclination to discount the political burden created by Rockefeller's marri age to a divorced mother of four children last May after his own divorce. Chances Damaged Of the party leaders ques tioned, one or more in 26 states felt that Rockefeller's chances were damaged to some degree by his remarriage. Some felt that this was a serious handi cap which would never vanish; some felt that the unfavorable reaction had partly subsided and would fade even more. These appraisals were offered even by Republicans who de plored consideration of Rocke feller's personal life as a factor in the campaign. Party officials in only five states dismissed the remarriage as insignificant and eight others refused to guess about its politi cal effects. Rusk Pledges United States Will Give Every Assistance To New South Viet Nam Government WASHINGTON (UPD-Secre-tary of State Dean Rusk today expressed hope that the new government of South Viet Nam will be able to rally the country and its people to get on with the war against Communist guerrillas and create an "inde pendent, free and secure" na tion. Rusk said this was now the "main job" of the provisional government and the United States will give it every assist ance it can. But Rusk said under present conditions he sees little real prospect of any realistic nego tiations between the Communist regime in North Viet Nam and the Western-backed regime in South Viet Nam to end their guerrilla war. Attacks Senate Restrictions At a news conference, Rusk also lashed at senatorial efforts to write restrictions into the foreign aid bill to limit or deny assistance to such countries as Yugoslavia, Egypt and Indo nesia. He accused senators of trying "to legislate foreign policy." The secretary said he was "very much disturbed . . . very much concerned about the ten dency" in Congress to "try to build into law attitudes on for eign aid." On other subjects, Rusk said: Soviet harassment of U.S. military convoys on the Berlin highway is very serious because it could lead to major prob lems. He noted that Soviet Pre mier Nikita S. Khrushchev showed in remarks two days ago to some visiting American businessmen that he realizes this. He said the United States and its Allies consider their ac cess to Berlin "utterly funda- Over-fhe-Counfer Western Stocks By United Press International Bid Asked Bank America 64 i 77t Boise Cascade 31',, 334 Cal PRC Ulll 25 27 Con FrelBht V, 0", Cyprus Mines -.. 233, Equitable S&L 3014 32',i First National Bank 72 7S'.i Janlzen 24'.i 36 U Morrison Knudsen 20 Is 31,t Mult Kennels 4 4',a N.W.

The United States still has one million men under arms overseas. "We must support those men; they are trying to do a job for the free world." It would be possible to work out a longer range Berlin solu tion "if the other side would, In a spirit of reciprocity, rec ognize the vital interests of the West." But he said so far Rus sia has not been willing to do this.
