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.

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.

In the second installment of a

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.
