Redden Declares
Measure To Be
Poorly Drafted
SALEM - (UPI) - The
house today approved, by
a 33 to 26 vote, the con
troversial Boardman bill.
It now goes to the senate.
The vote came after more
than three hours of de
bate. SALEM (UPI) -A move to
send the politically explosive
Boardman bill to the House Tax
Committee was defeated 33-25 1
today as the House debated the
measure to clear title to lands
for the 100.000-acre Space Age
Industrial Park in Northeastern
Oregon.
During earlv debate on the
bill, Rep. Stafford Hansell, R
Hermiston, said he "wholeheart
edly urged support" for it, and
said the land involved is "noth
ing but desert" and has no oth
er use.
Rep. Jarnes Redden, D-Mcd-ford,
who attempted to get the
bill referred to the tax eommit
lec, said he opposed "the way
the bill is written."
"Under normal circumstances i
a bill this poorly drafted
wouldn't get ten votes in this
house," he contended.
Redden termed the Ipase with
Boeing "The most one-sided
lease I have ever read," and
warned its wording gives Boeing
first option on all federal land
in Oregon that the state might
acquire.
Earlier, Senate President Ben
Musa announced the Senate Ju
diciary Committee would be re
activated to review the Board
man bill if the House sends it
over.
Musa said the committee
would make "a judicial review
of the bill, but not go into the
lease with Boeing."
Musa said he was hopeful the
special session of the legislature
would end tonight, but added,
"I'm not making any guaran
tees. It depends on when the
House sends over the bill. If we
get it early enough we could
unisu luudy.
"I'd rather spend
an extra 1
day in session than rush the
bill through just to be a rubber
stamp," he noted.

MEDFORD, OREGON,
Taxes For Schools
May Be Increased
Average of 5 Mills
Property taxes to support
school districts in Jackson Coun
ty have every indication of ris
ing an average of about five
mills next year.
The increase, which will vary
in districts throughout the coun
ty, is the result of cutting more
than $12 million from the basic
school support fund in the
state's austerity program
brought about by the defeat of
the tax measure in October.
A bill passed by the State
Legislature in its special ses
sion provides for cutting $12,070,
883 from basic school support in
the 1964-65 fiscal year.
No funds from the state will
be affected this school year, ac
cording to State Rep. Edward
Branchfield, who said the bill
passed is a revised one which
specifics when the funds shall
be cut.
The original bill introduced did
not provide when funds would
be reduced, and some concern
was expressed by school admin
istrators about what school dis
tricts could do this fiscal year if
state funds were reduced.
Three Courses of Action
Three courses of action are
available to school districts next
fiscal year, knowing there will
be about a $12 million reduc
tion in basic support from the
state.
They are (1) reduce budgets
by the amount of basic school
support, keeping property taxes
about the present level; (2) in
crease property taxes the
amount reduced by the state; or
(3) a combination of the two.

ets by the amount cut from stale
support is almost impossible in
most cases. School district budg
ets are now based on minimum
needs, and further reduction of
expenditures would adversely af
fect the educational programs
offered in the districts.
School administrators are con
cerned about rising property
taxes, since they are now high
er than most people would like
to see them. However, unless
some other means of raising
money is found, financing school
districts falls back on property
taxes.
A combination of the two is
perhaps possible in some school
districts, but again, if budgets
are reduced any substantial
amount, the educational pro
gram may have to be curtailed.
The reduction in basic school
support in Jackson County
would amount to about $503,343,
or an estimated average of 5
mills. Following is the amount
of basic school support which
would be reduced in each dis
trict in the county, and t h e
amount's equivalent in mills:

them are:

Silence Blamed
For Spread of
Hate Elements
By YVONNE FRANKLIN
Mail Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - The first
telegram placed in the hand of
a grieving Rep. Edith Green on
the Friday that President John
Kennedy was slain read:
'Urge that you immediately
start impeachment proceedings
against President Johnson.
This was but another in a
series of vengeful communica
tions from a Portland doctor
who had expressed hatred for
the Kennedy administration and
vented his feelings on paper to
his elected representative in
Congress.
Prior to the President's death,
the Congresswoman's mail from
people associated with hate
groups was growing both in
volume and venom. For ex
ample, one constituent last
week wrote:
" . . '. I am convinced that
the real orders to rub out Ken
nedy came from the chief heads
of the mob at Vatican City. The
true trigger man is very likely
a pro-Goldwatcr Roman Cath
olic. I am convinced that the
international Roman Catholic
crime syndicate ..."
Mail 'Shocking'
Mrs. Green thinks we should
have competent medical opin
ion to describe or diagnose the
sickness which has swept the
Nation in such outpourings of
hatred.
She said in an interview after
President Kennedy's death that
the vicious anti-Catholic mail
and literature, starting with the
1960 presidential campaign
which she headed in Oregon,
was "shocking" in its intensity.
It has continued unabated, but
the range of targets has wid
ened to include all national
leaders
Newspaper editors in Oregon
have also noted that letters to
the editor have increased in
their "bilious" personal at-
iaci(Si especially against polit-
irai Ipariprs
Mrs. Green spreads the blame
for the emergence of such hate
groups. She blames not only the
violent dissenters themselves,
but politicians, past and pres
ent, for leading Ma way tie-
faming their fellow citizens
as communist sympathizers,
without evidence to back up
their headline - eyeing attacks.
She also blames the newspapers
for spreading unfounded, cyni
cal charges.
Most of all slie hlamcs tne
silent Americans who do not
protest against the spread of
hatred for national leaders, Re
publican and Democratic, which
has culminated in the violent
death of President John F. Ken
nedy.
"We have allowed the hate
groups to take over," she said,
"and the moderate voices have
been silent."
Remembers Words
She remembered the words of
Rabbi Joachim Prinz who spoke
at the Aug. 28 Freedom March
in Washington, who said:
"When I was the rabbi of the
Jewish community in Berlin un
der the Hitler regime, I learned
many things. The most impor
tant thing that I learned in my
life and under those tragic cir
cumstances is that bigotry and
hatred are not the most urgent
problem.
"The most urgent, the most
disgraceful, the most shameful
and the most tragic problem is
silence. A great people which
had become a great civilization
had become a nation of silent
onlookers. They remained silent
j jn the face of hate, in the face
, 0 brutality and in the face of
murder "
Mrs rii-ppn suit lhat while
I iU.m. urn, a nulinnnl ntltf-rv
'Llll'IC nan " j
over lhe bombing deaths of the
young Negro girls in Birming
ham, it was not sustained, and
the so-called tleccni people oi
lhat city took no action. The
men accused of the bombings
were given six months' sen
I e n c e s on the misdemeanor
charge of possessing dynamite.
The national outrage over the
killing of Mcdgar Evers in Jack
son, Miss, also subsided, she
said. The killer has thus lar not
come to trial. The good people
of Jackson remain silent and
afraid in the face of Negro suf-
fcring.
Mrs. Green wondered why
there isn't more public protest,
North and Soulh, over the sav
age treatment of White and
Neero vouth working for free
dom in the Soulh young col
lege boys and girls thrown into
prisons on charges of "insur
rection" because they sought to
register Negro voters in
Georgia. For every non-Southerner
rescued by their cong
ressman, she said, others suf
fer indignities and imprison
ment alone and unheeded by
most Americans.
She oomled In the buildup of
18 violent events in uaiias, lexas,
with newspaper ads appearing
on the day the President was
killed which called him a
traitor. Tcxans, she said, had
been fed a steady diet of dia
tribe against their national
leaders.
Mrs. Lyndon Johnson was
spat upon in that city while
Bruce Alger, the Congressman
from Dallas, looked on in ap
proval. Ambassador A d 1 a i
Stevenson was attacked in
Dallas last October.
The tragic 2roundwork for
the killing of the President, she
said, was laid by hate groups
throughout the county, and par
ticularly in Dallas which has
been more virulent in its hatred
than some cities. And the
responsible citizens, "the good
people" she said stood idly by
and did nothing to protest the
behaviour of the haters.
"On United Nations Day when
Stevenson was in Dallas it
seems to me this was the time
(when he was attacked) when
there should have been real
strong statements that this was
not the way the majority of peo
ple really felt," she said.
In their silence they condon
ed the action, much as the Ger
mans condoned by silence Hit
ler's massacre of the Jews
when they (the decent "good"
people) did not rise up in pro
test when the Jews were first
humiliated and attacked by
speeches and later by intern
ment and death in the gas
ovens.
Mrs. Green was concerned
that the Nation must rid itself
"of the hatred and venom some
how, so that he (President John
Kennedy) will not have died in
vain, and that all of this hate
and fear must be changed into
love and concern for other hu
man beings." ,

an election whereby persons
within the affected area may
express their opinion as lo the
