coap. IIEJT3PAPEB. SECTION Competition Mounts As wfnvofd" Puzzle Prize Hits Record High See Page 3-i In Th- Day's Sews By FRANK JENKINS From Salem this morning. A panel of tliree circuit judges took under advisement yesterday a motion to dismiss a labor union suit seeking to bar the state from using convict labor in the con struction of a new women's pris on. The judges heard arguments by the state and an attorney for two union officials over whether the unions have power to sue the state This is the background of the situation: Use of prison labor on the proj ect was authorized recently by a majority vote of the Oregon State Board of Control, which is com posed of the secretary of state. the state treasurer and the gov ernor. At the session of the board at which the use of prison labor was authorized, Secretary of State Appling and State Treas urer Belton approved it. Gov ernor Hatfield voted against it. Appling and Belton said it would cost the state $18 million per biennium if use of convict labor and inmate labor were out lawed in state institutions. Gov ernor Hatfield, presumably, op posed the use of convict labor on principle. Organized labor brought the suit Because it felt that construction of state facilities should be ac complished by FREE labor. The legal question involved In the hearing before the three cii cuit judges is whether the unions have power to sue the state, and a decision on this point is ex pected in a few days. Trial of the suit has been set for March 12. ' So much for the facts. In conclusion, let's take a look at the PRINCIPLES flat are in volved. In the relatively small state of Oregon, the sum of $18 million isn't hay. There are roughly 1,800.000 people in Ore gon. The addition of $18 million to the cost of government would mean an additional tax of $10 per person; or $40 for a family of four. Bui lt isn't just the $13 million. It's the principle of it. Personally, I can't escape the conclusion that WORK is good for those who have been unfortu nate enough to have committed a crime and have been convicted and sent to w'hat we HOPE is an institution devoted not only to punishment but to REFORMA TION AND REHABILITATION. I'm so old-fashioned as to be lieve that reformation and reha bilitation are ,more apt to be accomplished when the unfortu nates who have strayed from the straight and narrow way are kept busy at useful tasks than when they are CONFINED IN IDLENESS. Fraud Claim Slaps Firm 'n-NEW YORK (UPD-Olin Math iesoi? -Chemical Corp. was indicted ThursdaV on charges of failing to report alleged payments of $150, 000 in kickbacks and commissions on drugs sold to South Viet Nam and Cambodia. Olin Mathieson issued a state ment terming the 24-cbunt indict ment "absolutely groundless." The company said it may have been the victim of fraud, and denied receiving any government foreign aid funds in the sales. Others named in the indictment were Philipp Bauer Co., Inc., New York; its president, Kenneth B. Bauer; the Far East International Corp. of New York, allegedly a dummy export firm, and its or ganizer, Herbert G. Wolf of Hong Kong, listed as a former regional vice president of Olin Mathieson. U.S. Atty Robert M. Morgcn- thau said the Bauer firm, acting as agent for Olin. made payments to buyers of the drugs in South Viet Nam and Cambodia.

UPI Telephoto New York Paper Plans To Resume NEW YORK (UPI) - Publish ers planned to stand firm today in reopened joint negotiations with striking printers despite the New York Post's decision to leave their ranks and resume publication. The Post was one of five papers which had voluntarily shut down when printers struck four others. Mrs. Dorothy Schiff, Post pub lisher, announced Thursday night Clerks Mum About Action SAN FRANCISCO (UP1 - The Brotherhood of Railway Clerks was playing it close to the vest today in its contest of court ac tions with the Southern Pacific Railroad over a threatened seven- state strike. Union officials refused to say when or where they would go into court to try to set aside a 10-day order restraining them from call ing a strike. The company ob tained Ihc order Tuesday in San Mateo Counly Superior Court.

More than 200 campaign mem bers and guests were present to observe the presentation of the coveted trophy to Hunter and the presentation of two other trophies which went to volunteer workers for dieir outstanding work during the campaign. Cited were Mrs. Julia Brown, winner of the division chairman award, and Harold Ashley, named as the unit chairman award win ner. The latter received his award for tlx outstanding job he per 21 m (m trace I. II 4.11 Price Ten Cents 16 Pages Rep. Armistead Selden, D-Ala.. chairman of a subcommittee on Communist subversion in Latin America, reported McCone's pes simistic view to newsmen in re leasing a transcript of the CIA V; v Publication that her paper would reappear on the stands Monday under a "day by day" arrangement with the printers. "I think this strike has gone on long enough," she said. "I don't see any immediate settlement in sight." No separate settlement with the printers will be made by the Post, she said. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Bertram Powers, president of the striking Local 6 of the Inter national Typographical Union (ITU), said he thought Mrs. Schiff's decision would "speed up the settlement of the strike." The Publishers Association of New York (NYPAl, which had called the strike a "test of eco nomic strength," had based its strategy in the dispute on clos ing down all papers if any were struck.

Cam paign Chairman Ross Ragland said Friday. The recipient was chairman of the Public Employes Division and turned in $9,174 dur ing the drive to exceed the divi sion's goal of M.T-rS. Hunter, active in United Fund campaigns during the past eight years, is tlie third person to re ceive the local UF award.

Hunter was campaign chairman in 1961 and served as member In Cuba chief's closed-door testimony be fore the subcommittee last week The transcript, considerably cen sored for security" reasons, made no mention of a possible overturn o the Fidel Castro regime at the hands of the Cuban people. But a reporter asked Selden if McCone had held out hope for such an uprising, and Selden said he had not. Cuba is a police state," Selden said. "Under the present circum stances it would be extremely dif ficult for an unarmed population to rise. The chances are not good." Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara said Thursday the United States would not stand by and tolerate use of the Soviet gar rison in Cuba to quell a rebellion on the island. McNamara said at a news con-l ference that this country would not allow the Russian soldiers to put down an internal uprising, let alone launch an attack against another nation. McCone told Selclen's subcom mittee that "great" subversive pressure is being exerted through the Castro regime on all Lath America but that "so far" this had had only limited success. His testimony indicated that be tween 1,000 and 1,500 persons from all other Latin American coun tries came to Cuba for indoctrina tion and training in 1962, with the largest contingents from Venezuo la, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina and Bolivia. These trainees, he said, not onlv are laugnt tne techniques of sub version but are taught how to in struct other recruits when they return to their home countries. The result, he said, is that "to- day the Cuban effort is far more sophisticated, more covert, and more deadly" than it was in the early days of the Castro regime. China Slaps Khrushchev TOKYO I UPI I - Communist China blasted Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev again today with its massive defense of its "hard line" communism in which it has charged Soviet Russia with trying to build an empire among the Western and neutral nations. In the second installment of a marathon exposition of Peking's views in its ideological struggle with Moscow, Red China accused Khrushchev and other critics of claiming that "they alone are the 'reincarnations of Lenin.' " Radio Peking and the New China news agency began broad casting simultaneously tonight the second of an eight-part article on the issue in Red Flag, official theoretical journal of the Chinese Communist party. As in the first installment broad cast Thursday' the article uses Italian Communist party boss Pal miro Tnglialti as its target. of the board during six of the past eight years he has worked in the fund drive. The awards were presented in the form of trophies, donated by Fluhrcr's Bakery, which climaxed the final night of the fund drive that brought S126.UO0 to the Unit ed Fund.

It seemed as though almost a decade of hassling and jockeying ended Thursday night when the Klamath County Joint School Boards Association voted 10 to 1 to adopt (not study) a gerry mander plan as the solution of the overcrowded condition at Klamath Union High School and the common county-wide school problem in general. A motion was inti-oduced by Paul Fairclo, county school board member, asking that the associa tion adopt the plan that would make a single school district out of the present city elementary district plus the Stewart-Lenox, Weyerhaeuser area and that part of the suburban area now serv iced by KU and the part of the Henley District that is north of Show Opens A three-day exhibit on the latest In products for the home opened for visitors at noon to day at the Klamath County Fairgrounds Exhibit Building.

She was idcnlilied by Eastern Air Lines (EAL) officials as Miss Barbara Hill, 30, of Tampa, Fla., and Revere, Mass. They said she had been a stewardess for the airline for 10 years. The plane, an EAL shuttle flight from Boston to Newark, N.J., was warming up its four engines for takeoff when the tragedy hap pencd. Twenty-lour passengers and five crew members were on board at the time. Authorities said the woman, dressed in a full length leopard skin coat, had no baggage or pock etbook and apparently war not attempting to "hop a ride on the flight.

Whelan said, however, he had no intention of doing this, but only wanted to point up cases where cocktail waitresses were required to work behind bars without getting bartender's pay. The Senate State and Federal Affairs Committee gave a "do pass" recommendation to a meas ure calling for elimination of liquor iurclia.sc permits. The committee also approved memorials to urge the federal government to provide funds for an anti-water pollution program at Oregon State University and to stay out of the legislative ap portionment lield. The committee strode into Stale Game Commission territory by approving two measures for a study ol tlie commission and a third to make the game commis sion subject to tlie fish commission in anadrommis lish research. The Hons? Natural Resources Committee heard protests to a proposed natural resources de partment from the State Forestry Department, which would be in corporated in the new agency. The Senate Committee on Labor and Industries, with two allerna live workmen's comcnsation bills finally before it, continued taking testimony on the subject that sparked so much heat in I'M. One is the governor's bill, con sidered a compromise and ten tatively accepted by labor. The other is management's bill to give private insurance firms a large sliare of the industrial ac cident insurance business, now a slate monopoly. Other highlights: Lumber The first hearing of senate joint memorial to Congress urging that railroads be encour aged to provide "free hold" time for timber shipments was held Thursday, and continued to a second hearing to bo scheduled later.

Petitions asking for a single county-wide school district have been circulated in Klamath Falls and apparently already have the required 100 signatures.

New Soviet Air Tactic Revealed WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Soviet Union appeared today to be on a new harassment campaign with huge Red air force turboprop planes buzzing American aircraft carriers far out in tlie Atlantic and Pacific. After a lengthy silence, Wash ington now has revealed how re connaissance versions of the Rus sian Bear bomber are dispatched on over-water flights of several thousand miles to ferret out Amer ican fleet units. rreviousiy tne Soviets continea themselves to scouting U.S. ships that vere within a few hundred miles of chore and could be reached by comparatively short range aircraft of tlie twin jet Badger bomber type. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara disclosed details at a news conference Thursday of Rus sian flighis over U.S. carriers from Jan. 27 to Feb. 22. They occurred in both oceans and rep resented "a rather substantial ad dition" to previous Red aerial in spection activities, he said. They showed no "hostile intent." No U.S. Reconnaissance McNamara said there had been no Soviet air reconnaissance of North America. But the perform ance of tlie four Bear aircraft last Friday demonstrated, as ex perts already knew, that the turbo- nrnn nlnnns in prvira cinPA 1QU it r r -- - - have ample range to scout these shores. . - On that occasion, four Bears flew over tlie 59,000 ton carrier Forrestal southeast of the Azores as it steamed homeward from a tour with the 6th Fleet in the Mcditcranean, They flew in pairs, separated by a two hour interval. Each time, one plane stayed at 30,000 feet while the other swooped under a 2,000 feet overcast to in spect the flattop. McNamara's report Indicated lhat the Bears must have flown a roundtrip of more than 7,000 nautical miles. He told how U.S. Air Force F102 jet interceptors went aloft from Iceland to follow the four- engined planes. That indicated tlie Bears flew south from Soviet Arc tic bases and may have been de lected by radar in northern Nor way as well as Iceland. The Forrestal launched F4B Phantom jets to trail the first two Bears northward for 158 miles. Then tlie F102s took over again. Phantoms "escorted" the second flight while over the For restal. Although Russia has often pro tested American overflights of So viet ships on tlie high seas, Mc Namara said tlie Bears had a "le gal right" lo be in tlie air over international waters. Cites Other Flights He said other flights were made over tlie nuclear powered carrier Enterprise in the North Atlantic Feb. 12 and 13, the Kitty Hawk in the North Pacific between Jan. 27 and Feb. 3. and the Princeton in the North Pacific between Feb. 13 and 16. McNamara was asked why llie announcement was "saved" for him to make at a news confer ence. He said information came in gradually and was studied to see whether It formed a pattern. It was "in the interest of the public to be informed " He did not want the information to come out later and then have to explain why he did not announce it.
