In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
From Washington this morning:
President Kennedy said vester-
day that he will support "what
ever is necessary to get a three
year tax cut of at least TEN
BILLION DOLLARS.
He added:
"I would say the important
thing is to get the (tax cut) bill
this year. Whatever is necessary
to get that bill, I would support."
Do you reckon he'd stand for a
SPE.NDLMG cut big enough to off
set his proposed tax cut?
What the President is driving at,
of course, is a try-out of the the
ory (proposed by his bright young
men) that if your taxes are cut
you can safely go ahead and
spend all the money you've saved
by the tax cut to buy the things
you want.
Thus (the theory goes) indus
try will be so stimulated that it
will hire more labor, pay higher
wages, buy more raw materials,
buy more new machinery, and so
on.
The end result of it all, the
President obviously thinks, is that
as a result of this new spending
the government will take in more!
tax money than it was taking in
before and so can reach the point
where it can pay off the national
debt as well as providing all the
things the people want at govern
ment expense.
It's a wonderful theory.
course
It MIGHT work.
So many strange things are be
ing made to come to pass in these
amazing modern days that one
hesitates to go flatly on record as
being so hopelessly old-fashioned
as to believe that people can't
spend themselves rich.
For example:
There's the old crack to the ef
fect that WHAT GOES UP MUST
COME DOWN. That has been true
throughout all the thousands of
years of which there is a record.
But-
Man can now climb into a space
ship and sail out into the myste
rious yonder where there is no
force of gravity and where WHAT
GOES UP WON'T NECESSARILY
COME DOWN. If you were an as
tronaut and were doing a little
repair job in your space ship and
momentarily had no use for your
monkey-wrench, you wouldn't
need to lay it down. You could
just let go of it and it would
FLOAT AROUND.
So
il may be
All the laws of thrift are as
hopelessly out of dale in these
days as is the law of gravity
OUT IN SPACE where there is no
gravity.
A suggestion. Mr. President:
You are apparently convinced
that the ancient laws of thrift are
as out-dated as is the law of
gravity out in a space ship.
You have a very large personal
income. W hy not make a demon
stration of your apparent belief
that the laws of thrift no longer
apply? Why not. on your own ac
count, start spending as reckless
ly as you are proposing that the
government of the United States
should spend?
If you should do that, and if

Log Truckers Oppose
Fee Raising Measure
SALEM (UPI) - Plaid-shirted
log truckers jammed into a hear
ing room Monday to oppose a bill
to raise the fees they pay for
driving their trucks on Oregon's
roads.
They said higher fees would
force many of them out of busi
ncss.
I can think of no time when

Mechanic
Loses Job
For Lord
ST. LOUIS (UPI) -Husky Jes-
se Hemby, 34. turned his back
on a good-paying mechanic s lob
today for the Lord.
The father of three was firjd
Monday because he wanted Sun
day free to worship and to teach
man's Bible class.
Hemby's paycheck last week
was $191.25 for a six-day week.
His company demanded that Hem
by work a seventh day under a
machinist union contract.
There s no company, no man
and no organization that has the
right to own any man's body and
soul." Hemby said after losing a
job he had held since 1957.
He had the support of his pastor,
the Rev. M. Y. Bennett of the
Pentecostal Church of God.
"Hemby is faithful to the
church." the Rev. Mr. Bennett
said. "This is a Ihing he (Hemby
has to work out for himself. Hem
by ought to have the time for
church."
W. A. Rieffer, an executive of
the Complete Auto Transit Co., a
hauling company, handed Hemby
his dismissal notice in a state
ment which said, in part: "You
have repeatedly failed to rctort
(or work on Sundays as scheduled."
Under the contract, the company
pays $6.24 per hour on Sunday.
A spokesman for the Internation
al Association of Machinists said
that "in a contract containing pre
mium pay. (hey have to work it
the employer has to have the
work done."
Hemby's family makes four 24-
mile round trips to church during
(he week. Hemby attends regular
services Wednesday, the young
peoples meeting Saturday night,
and morning and night services
Sunday.
and the log trucker has looked so
grave as now," said trucker Ray
Oltord of Medford.
"We are gradually going into
the hole," said Lyla Smith, wife
of a Eugene trucker. She said her
husband had grossed $1,529 i n
January, but had only $344 left
for a family of five after paying
trucking costs and existing fees.
Nearly 400 truckers filled t h e
Senate Highways Committee room
and spilled into the hallway where
a loudspeaker was hastily set up.
Before the committee is t h e
governor s bill to revise weight-
mile highway use fees for trucks,
based on the weight of the truck
and the distance traveled.
At issue for the loggers was a
section to repeal the optional flat
fee of $95 a month they may pay
instead. The loggers said the
change in many cases would
double their fees.
The loggers' arguments included
two major points:
Much of their hauling is not
even done on state supported
roads, but on secondary roads and!
forest "trails." Thus log truckers
fail to benefit fully from the fees
they pay, while damage to trucks
is more costly. Furthermore, they
noted, log trucks are banned
from major highways Saturday
afternoons, Sundays, holidays and
much of the tourist season.
The rates log truckers receive
for hauling logs are set by "open
competition," not regulated by a
government agency, as are most
other transportation charges. Thus
log truckers lack protection t o
accompany higher fees. In addi
tion, log truckers cannot afford to
pass along higher fees, since the
timber industry already is strug
gling to keep its nose above water.
Coos County log trucker Hans
Louring said the change would
amount to an increase from $95
to $170 for a typical truck in an
average month.
Jim Faught of Roscburg, chief
spokesman for the loggers i n
previous sessions, said log trucks
use main highways very little
compared to freight trucks, buses
and cars. He suggested raising
auto license fees instead, and
charging tolls to hit some of the
tourist traffic.
Darrell Davis of Medford said
it would be "strange indeed" to
raise slate charges when help for
the lumber industry is being
sought at the federal level. J
Other Highlights
Schools The state was urged to
increase its share of school sup
port money at a hearing before
the House Education Committee.
Dog Control Strong support for
a Senate measure to toughen the
state's dog control law was voiced
before the Senate Agriculture
Committee. No opposition was'
voiced by more than 20 persons
present.

Psychologist License
Law Strongly Opposed
SALEM I UPI i Opposition to
a proposed psychologists licensing
law was hurled at the Senate
Health and Welfare Com
mittee Monday by practicing psy
chiatrists and representatives o f
the State Medical Society.
Five medical witnesses
lambasted the proposed legislation
for two hours. Committee Chair
man L. W. Ncwbry, R-Ash-land,
said a third hearing on the
bill would be called when testi
mony from proponents could be
heard.
Proponents who had planned to
testify at Monday's hearing were
left sitting as medical men argued
against wording in the proposed
law. and indicated they telt licens
ing of psychologists would grant
them respectability they do n o t
now enjoy.
Psychologists to not have a
medical degree. Psychiatrists do
have a medical degree.
Standards Eyed
Dr. H. A. Dickie, a Portland
psychiatrist warned against "low
ering standards."
He said the State Medical So
ciety wanted the bill amended so
psychologists would work under
the "proper supervision and con
trol of a medical doctor.
When asked by Sen. Ted Hal
lock, D-Portland, "why doesn't the
Oregon Medical Society trust psy
chologists while 22 other states
do?" Dickie answered "O r e R o n
doctors try harder to adhere to
the law."
Hallnck. Newhry and Sen. Al
(red Corbett. Reps C. R. Hoyt
and Grace Peck and 21 other leg
islators co-sponsored the bill.
Dickie, under questioning by
Newbry, admitted he opposed lire
language, not the intent, of the
proposed bill.
Dr. A. B. Haugen, speaking lor
the Portland Psychiatrists' Associ
ation, said "anyone can call him
self a psychologist, and in Ore
gon we do have a few quacks who
use this term."
Words Exchanged
Hallock asked if he felt the
public would complain at having
to pay for both a psychologist
and a psychiatrist.
"Extra protection always costs
more, but I think it is worth it,
Haugen replied.
Under more questioning by Hal
lock, Haugen said he did not feel
psychologists knew "how to con
trol themselves."
Hallock interrupted: "I'm con
stantly concerned at the attitude
of medical men that other groups
won't be ethical."
Haugen replied. "It's not a mat
ter of ethics, but of ignorance."
Dr. Jon V. Straumfjord, Astoria
a member of the State Board of
Medical Examiners, said the pro
posed bill would license psy
chologists to practice medicine."
Hallock asked if he felt psycho!
ogists were violating the law by
administration of psycho-therapy
Straumfjord said under cer
tain circumstances."
"Why don't you prosecute
Hallock asked.
"We don't witch hunt," the
doctor replied.
WASHINGTON (UPD-The ad
ministration was under withering
bombardment today by congres
sional forces who believe a "dan
gerous" shift is being made in
defense strategy.
Simply put, this is a shift which
foretells the end of piloted nucle
ar bombers in the nation's stra
tegic retaliatory forces and com
plete reliance on ballistic mis
siles.
To critics in Congress and the
Pentagon, this is an all-tlie-eggs-
in-one-baskct concept. To propo-'
ncnls, it seems to be an inevita
ble development even if the door1
is left ajar for some kind of fu
ture strategic aircraft.
Chairman Carl Vinson, D-Ga.,
of the House Armed Services
Committee opened the heaviest!
bombardment of the current con
gressional session Monday in f
statement urging expansion of the
hotly controversial RS70 warplanc
program.
Vinson's committee voted, 31-5,
to authorize $(3 million more
than President Kennedy wants
lor the plane in the new budget.
But the issue is broader than
any particular aircralt, encom
passing the whole question of
whether reliance on missiles
alone will be safe.
Vinson said he wanted no cut
back on missiles, then went on:
But the committee sees a
growing tendency on the part of
the Department of Defense to
place more and more emphasis
on missiles and less on manned
systems. .
This is a dangerous course
Great Remedy

Officials Plan Meet
Right Up To Deadline
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Federal mediators bar-
gained against the clock today in final efforts to avert
a strike by railway clerks against Southern Pacific, the
West's largest railroad. The walkout Is scheduled for 6
p.m. PST. The strike would idle 50,000 SP employes in
Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mex
ico and west Texas.
Three weeks of negotiations came to a climax Mon
day when the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks announced
its decision to stop work tonight. The railroad immediate
ly issued an embargo on freight.
Chairman Frank O'Neill I
of the Federal Mediation
Service and Assistant Sec
retary of Labor James J.
Reynolds said they planned
to meet with both sides up
to the deadline.
SAN FRANCISCO (UPD -The
Southern Pacific Railroad today J
obtained a court order postponing
for at least 10 days a seven-state
strike by the Brotherhood of Rail
way clerks.
The union had been scheduled
to go1 on strike at 6 p.m. PST
today in a long-simmering dispute
and one which tlie committee in
tends to do everything in its pow
er to stop."
The committee's power is very
great indeed, and its concern is
duplicated in the Senate Armed
Services Committee, headed by
Vinson's fellow Georgian, Sen.
Richard B. Russell.
But Defense Secretary Robert
, McNamara shows no symp
toms of wavering, and a head-on
collision may be coming.

The medical profession, how

over automation that would have
idled 50,000 employes of the West's
biggest railroad.
While a federal mediator held
last-minute negotiations with both
sides, the railroad went before
San Mateo County Superior Judge
James O'Keefe in suburban Red
wood City asking for a temporary
order restraining the union from
calling the strike.
Judge O'Keefe granted the or
der and set March 8 as the date
(or a hearing at which the union
must show cause why the order
should not be made permanent.
A union attorney said he knew
of no action which the union could
take to skirt the court order.
Attorney Harold Ropers filed the
petition in Superior Court for
Southern Pacific.
The 11,000-member union and
the railroad have been at odds for
five years over the fate of clerks
displaced by automation. Three
earlier strike threats were avert
ed by federal mediators.
The strike deadline was an
nounced by William McGovern,
vice president of the brotherhood,

Shrouded Planet Venus
Lifeless, Says Mariner
WASHINGTON I UPI I - Mal i-!
ner 2's verdict is that lovely Ve
nus is lifeless.
That was the word today in ad
vance of a news conference on
what the 447-pound spacecraft dis
covered when it flew past the
brightest of the planets last Dec
14.
The news conference was schci
uled for 2 p.m., EST.
Radio studies had indicated be
fore Marine 2's historic flight that'
the surface temperature of earth's
nearest planetary neighbor was
I5 degrees Fahrenheit, higher
than the melting point of lead.
There was a chance, however.
that the radio findings wer
wrong. Two ot six instrument
packages aboard Mariner 2 were
given the specific job of finding
out whether Venus might actually
be cool enough and moist enough
to support living things.
Scientists have now spent more
than two months studying the data
from these special instruments
Their conclusion:
Venus is indeed loo hot and it
also is too dry to be the abode
of life as it is known on earth
Mariner 2 was launched by the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) Aug. 27.
After 109'i days of travel through
interplanetary space, it passed
within 21.600 miles of perpetually
cloud-masked Venus.
Police said today they feared
the crewmen still missing in the
collision of two tankers were
killed when the ships exploded
and burned with a fire that one
rescuer said "scorched my eye
balls."
"We arc still trying to establish
a final list of victims," a senior
police ofllccr here said. "At this
moment, we think Uie collision
aimed seven lives. One body has
been identified, and six other men
arc missing and presumed dead."
Four other seamen were hospi
talized.
All the dead and missing were
from the 38-man crew of the
20,776-ton Panamanian tanker
Miraflorcs, which was moving
into Antwerp Harbor with a full
load of crude oil when it collided
with the 13,751-tnn British tanker,
Abadcsa.
All 40 Abadesa crew members
were reported safe.
Among the missing was the
Miraflorcs' captain, Giacomo Gcr-
aldo. His wife was rescued from
the blazing ship.
An explosion followed the colli
sion, within minutes the icy wa
lers of this narrow strait were a
mass of flames.
The channel from Antwerp Har
bor to the North Sea was opened
again today when tugs towed the
smoking hulk of the Mirailorcs
from the scene and grounded it
on the banks. The Abadcsa re
turned to Antwerp Monday night
with fire damage.
