PROPOSED METRO DISTRICT A. R. Dickson, far left, points to the specific areas
that could be added to the KU district to form a new metropolitan school district in
Klamath County. Dickson explained his study to, from left, John Voth, chairman of the
joint school boards association; Ray Hunsaker, Klamath Falls superintendent of
schools, and Cliff Robinson, Klamath County superintendent of schools, at the joint
board meeting Thursday night in the city Administration Building.
In Th 1
Bay's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
The big news today?
It's obviously the President's
proposal to reduce taxes without
reducing expenses. We all pay
taxes, in one form or another,
so we're all concerned.
Question:
How will it work out?
If you can answer that one.
right off the bat, after reading
the storv. you're a better man
than I am, Gunga Din.
Another question:
What will happen?
As to that, Representative Hale
Boggs, nf Louisiana. House
Democratic whip and a close
friend and supporter of President
Kennedy, puts it more succinctly
than most.
He said this morning:
"In my opinion, the tax reduc
lion bill will PASS in this session
of Congress, but, as I have said
in tlie past, I doubt seriously if
ANY of the so-called TAX RE
FORMS will be adopted at this
time."
So-
If Congressman Boggs is right
this will happen:
1. We will tax LESS.
2. We will spend more than we
take in.
3. We w ill go on putting the dif
ference on the cuff just as we1
have been doing for so many,
many years.
let's hear now from Senator
Harrv F. fivrd, nf Virginia. a
conservative Democrat, chairman
ol the Senate Finance committee
and a long time opponent of defi
cit financing which means per-
sislently spending more than is,
taken in and adding- the differ
ence to the national debt.
Senator Byrd didn't comment
directly on details of the Presi
dent's tax proposals. In a writ
ten comment, given to newsmen,
he repeated his earlier state
ments that federal taxes are ex
cessive, but that major lax re
duction should he preceded by
major EXPENDITURE reduc
tions. Senator Byrd also repeated that
!w intends to introduce a resolu
tion calling on congress to put
p n n u a I expenditure LIMITA
TIONS on every spending account
in the federal budget.
So
That's the shape of the nrws
this morning so tar as the Presi
dent ' proposal to reduce taxes
without reducing spending is concerned.

Industrial and agricultural op
portunities in Oregon during this
era of new .technological progress
will be discussed by Louis P.
Growney, Pacific Power & Light
Company's director of the indus
trial development department, at
the annual meeting of tlie Klam
ath Production Credit Associa
tion on Saturday, Jan. 2fi.
Growney will address tlie as
sociation at a luncheon meeting
in the Klamath Union High
School cafeteria which starts at
1 1 : 30 a .m.
"Change and Opportunity" is
the title of Growney's speech.
Pacific Power's industrial de
velopment program involves a
broad sectrum of acliviljes di
rected to development of new-
economic enterprises in its service
territory, and is continually mak
mg engineering and economic
studies of potential growth pos
sibilities," S. I. Ititchey. PP&L's
Klamath Falls district manager,
reported in noting Growney's lop-
Growncy has had extensive ex
perience in the industrial develop
ment field. Ritchey said. He has
held prominent positions in lead
ing firms in the Midwest and
South, with the Portland Chamber
of Commerce on its industrial
staff.
Tlie speaker is a member of
the American Industrial Develop
ment Council, live Forest Products
Research Society, president of
Raw Materials Survey, Inc., past
director of tlie Greater Portland
Management Club and the Ore
gon Chapter nf the Society for the
Advancement of Management.
The new areas would bring
with them about $7,4(16,294 in as
sessed valuation and about 3m
new students into the metropol
itan metro district.
Action came after A. R. Dick
son, who was hired to study tlie
valuation changes, outlined tlie
possible boundaries and the ap-
proximate assessed valuation ir
each of the areas.
Tlie school boards will now
study a metro area that would
roughly consist of the present KU
district with an area to the west
bounded on the south by tlie Cal
ifornia line; west, Jackson Coun
ty line, and north Recreation
Creek area.
.-Added on tlie east of tlie pres
ent KU district would be an
area bounded on the north by
Shasta Way: west, Madison
Street, and south, Hilyard Ave
nue. Also including the southwest
quarter of Section 6 of Town
ship 30. range 10 EWM, including
the Skyline addition and Winema
Gardens.
J. C. Renie, District 1 board
member, introduced the motion
that this proposal be studied in
dividually by each school board.
The motion was carried unani
mously.
If tlie three boards now agree
that this move would be the best
solution to the county-wide school
problem it would have to be in
troduced at the Legislature for
enabling legislation before Klam
ath County citizens could vote on
it.
John Voth, association chair
man, asked Harry tredncks,
Klamath Falls Citizens Commit-
chairman, what Fredrick
and the committee thought about
the plan.
It's now time to see if we can
sell the plan to tlie voters," Fred
ricks said.
Ben Adair, vice chairman of
the county citizens committee,
slid he knew there was no per
lect plan. Adair said he could
think of better plans, but the
problem would be to sell it to
the voters. "This is something that
will come as near to fitting every-
ones needs as any other plan
and we won't know until we've
tried it." he said.
Six Sex Crime Bills Studied By Oregon legislature
SALEM (UPIi - Six b i 1 1 s
aimed at preventing sex crimes
were introduced in the House to
day, with 5ti House and Senate
sponsors signaling public disturb
ance over sex offenses.
Public furor was most recently
aroused when 6-year-old Mona
Rae Minyard was kidnaped in
Portland, raped and slain.
The bills, however, began to
take shape earlier when the Leg
islative Interim Committee on So
cial Problems was created in 11.
SCn-ilv... r lltn nmn,;,, 1. ..J
.i,itiiin.-i3 vi nit vi'jiuiiuirv
planned to introduce tne hills
themselves. But unusually high
volumes of mail led other legis
lators to ask to add their names
to the bills.
The 42 House sponsors and 14
Senate sponsors gave the meas-j
ures an unusuauy nign cnance ot
passage.
The measures considered most
far reaching by the committee
provide for civil commitment on
sex offenders, and for central
record-keeping of know 19 major
or minor offenses around t h c
slate.
The commitment for sex offend
ers would be similar to that now
ordered by courts for persons sus
pected of mental illness. The act
defines a sexually dangerous per
son and authorizes the district at
torney to initiate action.
It provides for hearings and
periodic reexamination. It a I s 0
provides for voluntary commit
ment. The Stale Board of Control
would designate the institutions.
The record - keeping measure
would create a central report ins
bureau ill the records of the state
police where all sex offenses
would be reported within 48 hours.
Tlie recording would include
fingerprinting and photographs.
Convictions also would be record
ed. The records would be avail
able to law enforcement agencies.
A third bill would allow previous
convictions in other states to be
used in setting the penalty nf a
person convicted of a sex offense.
The effect would be to enhance
penalties for such persons.
The other measures would
transfer jurisdiction over juvenile
.court matters from county to cir
cuit courts, eliminate justice and
district court jurisdiction over of-
ienses against children under 16.
and revise language in laws on
violation of privacy.
Committee memlicrs called the
long list of sponsors "a strone in
dication of Oregon's dete.rmina-
Ition to do something about this
recurring social problem.

WASHINGTON tL'PH Sena
tors reported after a secret intel

has built an enormously powerful
military and political complex in
Fidel Castro's Cuba.
But they emerged from a two-
hour meeting with Secretary of
State Dean Rusk and Central In
telligence Agency Director John
A. .McCone with differing views
on whether the Russian build-up
has expanded significantly in re
cent days.
Sen. George D. Aiken, R-Vt.,
said on emerging from tlie session
that tlie Russians have built "an
enormously powerful military and
political ba-e in Cuba much
stronger than it was six months
ago."
He said it is his impression that
tlie "strengthening" of tlie Rus
sian politico-military "machine"
is continuing.
Sen, Stuart Symington. D-Mo.,
who spoke separately with news
men, said "Tliere is a big Soviet
military complex in Cuba today"
built up over the last six months.
Symington, who said his infor
mation was not based solely on
the briefing, said he is concerned
;ibout increasing numbers of Rus
sians in Cuba who are "members
of what might be called the Rus
sian air complex."
Sen. Wayne Morse. D-Orc.,
chairman of the Senate foreign
relations subcommittee on Latin
affairs, declined comment on the
build-up. He told newsmen only
that his subcommittee held s

Effects Of Planning Outlined For Kiwanians
The background of planning
and its effects were outlined In
members of the Klamath Falls
Kiwanis Club Thursday noon at
the Winema by Don Johnson, as
sistant director of planning at
the University of Oregon.
He termed planning ,is "Tlie ac
tivity of working nut hmg range
objectives of uMn-.: land, and then
proceeding to implement thorn."
Johnson. 14 years in the plan
ning field, lold the L'loup that the
first American ilia:i-s were
planned cities, n Inr.-ited as to
proide Iw-t prntecti'-n against
hostile forces.
He also added t hat Roman ci
ties in am lent days w,-re planned
for protection ncamst im-idine
iocs
Tie concept of community zon
ing. Johnson said, actually origi
nated in the lnited States and
began to gain ground just a'ter
the turn of the century. "R
inf.," he -aid, "more than 1 i
c dies had zoning ordinances, and
by 1W2 nearly all cities down
to ln.mm people had zoning ordi
nances."' He admitted that zoning out
side city limits in suburban areas
was somewhat newer. "The great
est asset of a community is the
land," Johnson said. "And how
well it is used affects the future
of that community."
Commenting on the proposed
zoning plan for the suburban
areas of Klamath Fall", Johnson
said, "The plans are as sound
and as reaMinable a I have
scon."
H: cautioned, though, that
p'annmg must continually be re
viev. fd. and upgraded if it is to
remain eltectie.
Planning, he said, can guide
and control economic develop
ment of a community and can
serve as a guide for govern
mental artivit es.
Citing an advantage o( zoni
Johnson noted that if a man
erected a woodyard next to a
nice new home, and the wood
yard obstructed the view and re
duced the value of the home,
the procrty owner could do noth
ing unless the woodyard created
a nuisance, but zoning would
provide protection for both in
dustry and residential arras.
Zoning, he declared, has been
upheld by the courts as a valid
ixiwrr of government to protect
its citizens. He defined zoning ef
fect as "giving everyone the
c-hance for icasonable enjoyment
of their rights, yet, at the same
time, placing tlie same limita
tions on him as on his neigh-j
bors."
He b-ted Clackamas. Gilliam,
Jackson, Lane, Marion. Lmalil-
la, Wascn and Yamhill countto
as areas where county zoning is
already in ellect in the state.
"Planning can't correct mis-
lakes of the past," he cautioned,
"but it can help prevent future
mistakes. Zoning is a tool for
carrying out orderly development
of a community."
Ken Blackm.m. community
planner, spoke briefly following
Johnson s talk, and reviewed the
history of the planning office
here.
"The of f ice oened in Itffl," he
said, "and the county zoning study

half years we have been com
piling information as a base (or

"We have held meetings at all

some of them twice, all granges

said.

He added, "One of the prime

city to enforce the zoning law
"Tliere are pros and cons,"
Blackman admitted, adding
"Some sacrifices must be made
if we are to have community
progress. It is necessary to weigh
the community good over indivi
dual good."
"Zoning," Blackman concluded
"is for community good more so
than individual good."

meeting.
In his letter, Senator' Boivin
said, I noticed tn die Jan. 8
Herald and News that application
lias been made to rezone an area
adjacent to the new OTI campus
to permit apartment type con
struction.
'As you know, moving tlie OTI,
campus to its present site has
not been without complications.
All of us who have been closely
associated with the problem know
that without the change the pos
sibility of retaining the institution
in Klamath County would have
been very problematical.
"To accomplish this change'and
obtain the apropriation of about
$2,700,000 from tlie state of Ore
gon, an area acceptable to Uie
Stale Board of Higher Education
was purchased by public subscrip
tion. This was done with the un
derstanding that die surrounding
area wwild be zoned exclusively
for high type single family dwell
ings. "It might be well for the coun
cil to realize that the move from
the present location of OTI to the
new campus is not complete, and
will not lie until a further nppro-
taincd from the state by legisla
tive act Sin this session. It is very
imiwrtant that nothing be done
to complicate or jeopardize the
securing of these funds.
I know tlie council is aware
of tlie serious fiscal condition of
the state at this time and of the
competition that exists for avail
able money. As an individual, I
am sympathetic to anyone at
tempting to produce as much in
come from his property as pos
sible. However, I also am of tlie
firm opinion that where we have a
project such as the development
of a new campus for OTI, wo
must first consider the benefit to
the entire city and county, and be
very reluctant to do anything that
would present additional problems
to our most important economical
and cultural asset."
Dr. Winston Purvinc, president
of OTI, had appeared ot the Jan.
s council meeting to point nut that
(tie school did not feel such a de
velopment was warranted at this
time, and that it desired tliat any
housing for married students be
located at a more distant site
from the campus.
The area involved in the rezone
request would lie astride the en
trance road to tlie OTI campus.
Benioff did not provide the coun
cil with plans or sketches on his
roposed development, but told
them he planned a private col
lege court type development.
Mayor Veatch was not available
for comment on Boivin's letter.
