Cuban Subversion Top
Problem, Says Kennedy
WASHINGTON (UPD Presi
dent Kennedy has set the task of
lessening Communist subversion
from Cuba and other parts of La
tin America as "our primary mis
sion for the hemisphere this win
ter."
The President told his news con
ference Thursday that Cuba has
been shipping men and perhaps
money lo other Latin American
countries for subversive purposes.
Kennedy said that 1.200 students
om Latin America went to Cuba
last year. He added, "I am sure
good many of them were po
litically indoctrinated; some ol
them obviously were given train
ing in more direct forms of polit
ical action."
In response to a question the
President said he was sure some
of the Russians in Cuba were help
ing to train Cubans in sabotage
and subversion, and political pen
etration of other countries.
Anxious To Stop Flow
That Is why we arc anxious lo
stop the flow in and out of those
ho may be the beneticianes oi
those studies," he said. But, Ken
nedy added, the prohlem was to
get the cooperation of other La
tin American couniries in unuung
the movement of students and
others.
"I don't think we should regard,
however, the Communist threat as
primarily based on Cuba, the
Communist threat to the hemi
sphere," the President said.
There is.. .local communist ac
tion unrelated to Cuba which con
tinues and which feeds on the
hardships of the people there,
northeast Brazil and other places.
So that Cuba is important, but
even if we arc able to stop this
kind of traffic, we will still deal
with the native Communist move
ment."
Other comments by Kennedy at
his news conference included:
Chance of Recession
If Congress does not approve
a tax cut, it will substantially in
crease the chances of a recession,
bringing increased unemployment
and an even larger budget dclicit.
The United States has with
drawn some support troops from
Europe but there is no present
plan to bring home any U.S. com
bat units. The six U.S. combat
divisions there will remain "until
there is a desire on the part of
Fnronean that thev he with
drawn."

Trouble Predicted For Budget Cut
As House Yields To Local Pressure
SALEM (UPD-The Ways and
Means Committee today lost a
vote of confidence in the Oregon
House to local pressures.
It boded troubles ahead for the
committee's budget slashing at
tempts.
The House voted 32-27 to send
the state engineer's budget back
lo committee so that farmers and
other groups can request restora
tion of money for soil and water
shed planning.
The committee, which is
charged with passing judgment
on Gov. Mark Hatfield's $405 mil
lion budget, had lopped $105,000
from the proposed $1,097,000 budg
et for the state engineer. Most of
the cut came in planning money
Rep. Cornelius Batcson, D Sa
lem, a farmer, said he received
heavy protests from constituents
who should be given the "courte
sy" of being heard.
Rep. Clinton Haight, D- Baker,
agreed, and said if the bill comes
hack again with the cut still in it
he will "reluctantly" support it.
Rep. Ross Morgan, D-Gresham,
co-chairman of Ways and Means,
opposed sending the bill back,
and noted the House was setting
a precedent.
There will be budgets one
right after another with this kind
of cut," he said.
Rep. Stafford Hansel), R-Hcrm
iston. a member of Ways and
Means, said the committee had
examined the budget and deter
mined the money could better be
spent elsewhere. He urged the
House to pass the bill instead of
sending it back.
"We know we will have many
people on our backs," he said.
But "in view of the financial con
dition of our state." Ways and
Means must make some hard
cuts. '
The vote did not follow party
lines. Rather, it indicated Ways

Jones Tells Of Fear
During Shooting Fray
"l was afraid she was going to
kill me with the ice pick," Royal
Jones, 37, told a jury in circuit
court Thursday as he related
the events of the pistol shooting
in which he wounded his wife,
Johnnie Mae, 28, twice in the
shoulder and once in the head in
their home at 3O0'i Broad Street,
last Dec. 18.
Jones, on trial for assault with
a dangerous weapon, told a story
substantially different from that
of his wife, who testified during
the opening day of the trial last
Monday.
The defendant gave testimony
that the shooting occurred seconds
after Johnnie Mae struck him on
the head and then on the shoulder
with an ice pick in the living
room of tlieir home. Johnnie Mae
related earlier in the trial that
Jones had used a pistol to batter
a window in front of the house
and then discharged the gun at
her through the broken window.
The shooting developed as Jones
returned home after being away
for several hours and was refused
admittance to the home by John
nie Mae. according to testimony
of the defendant and his wife.
From that point the stories vary
wilh Jones maintaining that John
nie Mae let him into the house
and attacked him wilh an ice pick
while Mrs. Jones accused the de
fendant of being the aggressor
in the shooting which allegedly
developed on the front porch of
the Broad Street house.
Fear of "being killed" by John
nie Mae with either an ice pick
or a gun was the substance of
testimony by Jones late yester
day.
The mention of a second gun in
the Jones' house was a surprise
development in the trial and was
elicited through questioning of the
defense attorney (no such weapon
was found in the house. Klam
ath Falls police said Friday).
The comment of the other gun
came in that part of the testimony
in which Jones admitted he shot
the victim and then pursued her
to the rear of the house. Jones
said the other weapon was kept
in the children's bedroom.
I followed her back to the
bedroom because I thought she
was getting that gun to kill me

But he told House members to

with it." Jones replied lo a ques
tion from his attorney.
The chase ended when Jones
appeared at the bedroom door and
observed wife rummaging fran
tically through some clothing for
the weapon. Jones triggered a shot
at Johnnie Mae and she crum
pled to the floor and "just laid
there," he said.
"Then I went over to Eddie
Daily's house and told him to call
tlie police," Jones testified.
Sometime later the defense at
torney called upon Jones to re
member the events which occurred
on the front porch.
"Did you break the window wilh
the gun," the attorney asked.
"No sir. I didn't have no gun
then," Jones replied.
"The last witness stated that
glass was present on the gun. How
do you explain that?" Hie attor
ney queried.
"I don't know," Jones answered.
"There was glass on the floor.
I guess some of it got on the
gun, somehow," he said.
The "last" witness to whom the
attorney alluded was Ralph Prou-
ly, Portland Crime Laboratory,
who conducted laboratory tests on
the pistol used in the shooting.
Prouty told the jury that fresh
cuts near the front sight of the
gun were impregnated with frag
ments of glass. He also remarked
that the force which shattered the
porch window appeared to come
from outside of the house.
Other witnesses who testified
Thursday were Kathryn Shipp,
549 Commercial Street; Georgia
Bowes, 253,i Broad Street, and
Jessie Lofton, address unknown.
