Oregon LEADS THE WAY
AGAIN as this dispalch from
Salem this morning indicates:
In a rare JOINT appeal, labor
and management yesterday
urged the state of Oregon to pre
pare to meet the growing impact
of automation. They called for ap
proval of a' resolution to create
an interim committee to map out
ways and means to meet the
problems of technological unem
ployment. The resolution would create a
committee of legislators and rep
resentatives of labor and indus
try to make an overall study ol
employment problems and poten
tial, and to suggest programs and
recommend ways to finance
them.
Ivan Congleton of Associated
Oregon Industries and George
Brown of the AFL-CIO both told
the senate committee on stat3
and federal affairs it is time to
start NOW.
Congleton said:
. "We must face the fact that au
tomation is becoming serious.
Let's get a head start on a prob
lem we know we are going to
have to face."
Brown agreed. "The longer we
wait," he said, "the more diffi
cult it will be." He added: "The
unions are not against automation
and technological advances. What
we are saying is that, if neces
sary, we'll have to find an answer
to the displacement ol tnese peo
ple." It has long been conceded by
sound economic thinkers that the
power of the people to consume
is limited only by their power to
PURCHASE. There are two ways
to provide the power to purchase
1. Higher wages.
2. Lower prices.
The higher wage solution when
unaccompanied by greater pro
ductivitydefeats itself. It in
creases prices as fast as it in
creases incomes. So nothing is
gained. What we need is greater
productivity, resulting m much
LOWER PRICES.
If Oregon can find the answer
to that, it will have done some
thing fantastically valuable to hu
manitv. Automation, if unaccom
panied by HIGHER PRODUC
TION COSTS, including higher
taxes, could make it possible to
bring prices down to the point
where people's ability and desire
to CONSUME MORE could
fantastically INCREASE CON
SUMPTION as to provide jobs
for everybody.
Somehow
This problem of producing more
tilings at lower prices, so that
people can have more things for
less money, must be solved if
automation is to bring to us the
immense benefits it is capable of
bringing to us.
Who will solve il?
WHY NOT OREGON?
Oregon has been a pioneer in
new ideas.
Oregon was the inventor of
POPULAR LEGISLATION the
initiative, the referendum and
the recall. Most states have mod
eled their initiative and referen
dum laws on what has come to be
known as the OREGON PLAN,
which the slate of Oregon
adopted in 1899 and extended in
1908.
Oregon invented the gasoline
(ax, which made it possible to
finance vast new highway sys
tems without going bankrupt.
So-
Who is better equipped than
Oregon to find the solution of this
automation to the job of produc
ing fantastically more things at
fantastically lower prices so that
people can have fantastically
MORE tilings for LESS money

Rusk Claims Reds
Removing Troops
From Cuban Posts
WASHINGTON (CPU - Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk said to
day that some Russian troops are
being removed from Cuba and
that more Soviet ships are on the
way to the island.
But Rusk said he would make
"assessment" now of whether
the Kremlin is meeting its prom
ise to remove "several thousand"
forces from Cuba by next Friday.
The secretary told a news con
ference that Russian ships have
been moving into Cuba during the
past two weeks and more are on
the way. He said the available
ships are enough to carry out the
troop removal.
Rusk refused to elaborate on his
statement that some troops al
ready have left the island by ship.
On other major subjects, Rusk
said:
The United States will be
"very much alert" to any threats
to the security of Saudi Arabia
and Jordan, which may be endan
gered by recent revolts in Iraq,
Yemen and, today, Syria.
The United States must be
willing to take ''some risks"
a nuclear test ban because it
faced with "greater risks" of the
spread of nuclear weapons, per
haps into irresponsible hands.
A large part of Rusk's news
conference was devoted to the
Floor On
Debated By Dairymen
SALEM (UPI)-A divided dairy
industry debated a bill to put
floors under milk prices Thursday
night amid threats of a milk price
war.
Nearly 300 dairymen, processors
and distributors attended the hear
ing before the House Food and
Dairying Committee.
In one camp were producers,
the dairymen who have the cows.
In the other were processors and
distributors, the men w ho buy the
milk, process it, and pass it on
to retail outlets.
The dairymen asked the legisla
ture to enact another law like the
temporary 1961 law that expired
at the first of this year.
"We are going to have a full
scale milk war within a short
time after the legislature adjourns
unless something is done," said
Junction City dairyman Howard
Gibson. "The artillery is already
moved into position."
He said there is a serious likeli
hood that a milk price war would
bring an attempt on the part of
tile teamsters u ion to organize
milk producers.
The bill before the committee
would provide for state control of
he prices paid to the dairymen
The dairymen said this is neces
sary to prevent cut-rate competi
tion in a market dominated by
milk surpluses.

being criticized both by the
Russians and by some scientists
and members of Congress who
feel the United States has already
made too many concessions.
Rusk said the Russians have so
far been unwilling to discuss what
he called the "fine print" of the
on-site inspection issue. These in
volve the areas that would be in
spected, the make-up of inspec
tion teams and what kind of data
would be collected.
He said these arc the critical
issues because 200 or more in
spections a year with inadequate
machinery would be worse than
seven or eight good inspections.
Rusk said he is confident that
"series" of sneak Soviet under
ground tests could be detected
under tnc system promised by the
United States, although the Sovi
ets might get away with "very
small scale tests."
But the risk of this, he said.
must be measured against the
"major risks if the arms race
continues."
In discussing the Middle East
Rusk said the United States had
only "fragmentary" information
on today's revolt in Syria. He
said the 600 U.S. citizens in Syria
appear to be safe.
Milk Price
"A stabilization law is neces
sary for Die Grade A dairyman to
stay in business, said Frank
Rood of the Oregon Dairymen's
Association and the State Board
of Agriculture.
The price controls, under the
bill, would be set for market
areas. The measure also provides
for refcrendums on market pools
and a quota system.
Processors and distributors re
torted that the bill would fail to
solve anything since it would con
trol only about 40 per cent of the
milk market. It would not have
any effect on cooperatives or out-of-state
producers.
They said the state would be
flooded with cheaper milk from
Washington, Idaho and California
Legislation is desirable, they
said, but not unless it includes
milk supplied by cooperatives and
out-of-state dairvmen.
Both sides, however, were hesi
tant to consider a federal milk
marketing order that might ac
complish some interstate control.
Attorney Mclvin Goode, speak
ing for a group of distributors
from Portland to Klamath Falls,
said the bill would amount to
discriminatory subsidy to produc
ers, and not even all producers.
Robert A. Fish of the producer
distributor group, Oregon Dairv
Industries, said the 1961 law
fact created new inequities.

Fake Attack
Story Told
ATLANTA (UPII An Ameri

proposed lor a fake attack on the
U.S. naval base at Guantanamo

excuse to enter the fighting.

weekly newspaper editor. It was
transmitted to Washington as a
suggestion for a way to save lllis

authority, I don't know."
Persons, a World War II flier.
said in an interview he was re

thing had fallen completely to

But there was no immcdialo in

The budget prepared by the
elementary school board's budget
committee for the 1963-64 fiscal
year totals $1,389,179 or $!KM07:

The biggest hikes this year
came in instructional costs, at
$94.3-Hi, or up 37.71.1 and capital
