Today's big question:
What happened in Cuba?
At this time yesterday, every
thing seemed to be lovely. Wash
ington dispatches reported that
the Russians were HURRYING
to carry out Premier Khrush
chev's PROMISE to remove his
weapons from Cuba. In Havana
Castro and Acting U.N. Secre
tary General U Thant were con
ferring on details, as per agree
ment.
II was indicated in the dis
patches that Castro might pos
sibly delay the U.N. inspection
arrangements. But, it was added,
by going ahead with THEIR OWN
removal plans Soviet forces
Cuba would be FOLLOWING
KHRUSHCHEV'S orders.

BALLOT
Editor's Note This is another
measures to be voted upon Nov. 6.
Measure No. S:
It was a
Purpose: To permit Legislature to pass special laws as well
as general laws creating lower slate courts and defining and
regulating their jurisdiction.
Explanation: In the past, the Legislature has been unahlc
to make any laws pertaining to the court structure in a specific
county, but had to pass legislation applicable lo all counties of
certain population levels. For instance, if a county wished to
transfer juvenile or probate matters from a county court to a
circuit court it could only be done if all other counties in the same
population bracket were required to do so, .also.
Passage of this measure would permit the Legislature to
enact laws applicable to a specific county as regards courts
and court structures.
Measure No. 6:
Purpose: To establish daylight saving time in all parts
of Oregon within the Pacific time zone from last Sunday in
April until last Saturday in September.
Explanation: The measure, if pnssed, 'would actually
establish uniform daylight savings time in all of Oregon except
a small portion of Baker County and Malheur County. If the
measure is not approved, then the state reverts to the recent
bill passed by the Legislature which permits the five northern
counties of Multnomah, Clackamas. Hood River, Columbia and
Washington lo adopt daylight savings time. A "yes" vote puts all
the slate officially on daylight savings time. A "no" vote leaves
the state in the situation it was in this year with only the five
uorthcrn counties legally authorized to adopt daylight savings lime.
Survival Facilities
Developed At OTI
"An operational fallout shelter
and survival facility now exists
at Oregon Technical Institute,"
Dr. Winston D. Purvine announced
today. "This simply means that in
case dangerous levels of atmospheric-borne
radiation reach this
area that OTI has functional un
derground facilities adequate to
care for those for whom it is
responsible." he said.
The detailed plan ascribes spe
cific duties and responsibilities to
every OTI student and every em
ploye should sucli an emergen
cy occur. Functioning of the opera
tion will be under the direction of
a central command headed by
Dr. Purvine.
"The first and most important
consideration in the plan is facili
tating the safety and health of
persons," Purvine stated. "This
involves an adequate supply of un-
ontaminatcd food and water,
leeping quarters and supplies.
and health protection against ra
diation or injury.

Editors Irked By Use
Of Cuba News 'Weaocn'
WASHINGTON IUPH The
Defense Department and its chief
spokesman, Arthur Sylvester,
were under severe attack today
by newspaper editors, reporters
and broadcasters for "control

'weapon" in the Cuba crisis.
Sylvester, assistant defense sec
retary in charge of public affairs,
stuck by his guns in the face of
editorial criticisms, protests from
news executives and complaints
of reporters trying to tell the
Cuba story.
The 61-year old Pentagon
spokesman, himself a newspaper
man for 37 years, said he had no
intention to control, manage or
dam up news "in a normal situ
ation."
"I know and respect the vital
function of news media in turn

action we take, he said.
But he said the Cuba crisis is
"unique."
