Day's km
By FRANK JENKINS
OregoiTs Governor Hatfield is
reported to have told a member
of the U.S. House of Representa
tives education and labor com
mittee, which is considering Pres
ident Kennedy's omnibus federal
education bill, that he doesn't
think Oregon wants federal school
aid.
That rubbed the fur the wrong
way on Speaker Clarence Bar
ton, of the Oregon House of Rep
resentativeswho was miffed the
other day when Governor Hat
field accused the ways and means
committee of the Oregon legisla
ture of "wielding a meat cleav
er" on some of the governor's
requests for appropriations.
So-
In Salem this morning
Barton disagreed sharply with
the governor on the issue of
federal aid for Oregon's schools.
As quoted by the reporters, he
said: "I don't think the governor
speaks for the majority of Ore
fm people on this question."
He pointed to Oregon's basic
school support program where, he
said, some "have" areas share
with "have not" areas. Federal
aid, he said, is designed to do
the same thing at the federal lev
el. Speaker Barton then added:
"There is a place for federal
aid in Oregon's school program.
"Oregon is a COLONIAL state.
If it were not for federal grants
all our money would go to De
troit or to the California o i 1
fields."
ALL of our money?
Oh no, sir!
A lot of it would keep on going
to Washington for federal taxes.
Last year, for example, we sent
back to Washington some $600
million for our share of the
FEDERAL taxes. That's about 50
per cent more than we are pro
posing to raise for our own Ore
gon state budget for the next bi
ennium. Let's look at it this way:
When we send money to Detroit,
We GET AUTOMOBILES BACK.
When we send money to Cali
fornia, WE GET GASOLINE
BACK.
We don't build automobiles.
When we send money to Detroit
and get automobiles m return,
we don't go into competition with
any local industries. We WANT
automobiles. We NEED automo
biles. We couldn't get along
Without them.
We don't produce gasoline. We
have no oil wells within our Ore
gon borders. We NEED gasoline.
Without it, our economy, in these
modern days, would go to pot.
But-
When we send moncv to Wash
ington, we get GOVERNMENT
back.
We don't need to import govern
ment. We have vast quantities of
it right here in our own state
BETTER GOVERNMENT, most
of us are inclined to believe, than
the government we get from
Washington.
And-
Not only docs Oregon consume
a lot of government.
Oregon produces a lot of gov
ernment. Oregon, from time to
time, even EXPORTS govern
mentthe initiative, the, referen
dum and the recall, for example.
Under the product name of The
Oregon Plan, Oregon has shipped
popular government all over the
country.
t The situation, sir, is quite dif
ferent. Cuban Troop
Count Out
WASHINGTON (UPI - Next
Friday, the Ides of March, and
the day the Russians have prom
iscd to have "several thousand'
troops out of Cuba, may well be
a great international anti-climax
High administration officials
said today they do not expect to
be able to make public on that
day a "head-count" of the num
ber of troops that have left the
island.
Unlike last October and Novem
ber, when Soviet officers rolled
back the coverings of missiles
aboard ships so U.S. planes could
count them, there is no agree
ment with the Russians on count
ing departing troops.
The Soviets may try to claim
some kind of "settlement" has
occurred with the removal of a
number of troops. But, as far as
can be learned, they do not ap
pear to be making it easy for the
Kennedy administration to count
the departing soldiers and justify
the "settlement" to the American
public.
U.S. aerial reconnaissance can
count persons on the decks of
ships, but must guess how many
are below deck. Moscow Radio
this week protested what it called
the "bulling'" of Soviet passen
ger ships on the Russia-Cuba run
by th U.S. Air force.

Feuding' Report
SALEM (UPI'-On a soothing
note, Gov. Mark Hatfield denied
Monday afternoon that he was
feuding with the legislature and
repudiated reports of deep-seated
personal bitterness.
The governor said his argu
ments of the past week were a
matter of issues, not personalities.
He said differences over civil
defense and the budget - cutting
policies of the Ways and Means
Committee had been "political-
ized ' too much.
"It takes two to feud, and I'm
not feuding," he told a news con
ference. I lie governors tone was in
marked contrast to his angry de
nunciation of "meat cleaver
budget cutting a week ago. Those
words sparked heated retorts from
legislators over what many con
sidered a personal attack on the
members of the Ways and Means
Committee.
Agrees With Leaders
Hatfield's latest remarks jibed
w ith those of House Speaker Clar
ence Barton and Senate President
Ben Musa a few hours earlier.
Barton said last week's running
battle was "not persona!" and
Musa said Hatfield had a right
to fight for issues as he saw
them.
It seemed to be an effort on all
sides to remove some of the sting
from the fight. Until last week,
cooperation between the Republi
can governor and the Democratic
controlled legislature had been
stressed.
Hatfield made it clear he would
continue to fight for issues, how
ever, by delivering another round
in support of the State Civil De
fense Agency which many legisla
tors want to abolish.
Hatfield said the agency was
misunderstood. He blamed this
partly on lack of understanding
that its primary role was as a
Hired Man Hunted
In Stocking Death
BOSTON (UPD - A 35-year-
old handyman was sought today
in the stocking slaying of an eld
erly woman who is the ninth vic
tim of a strangler in greater Bos
ton in as many months.
Police hope capture of the sus
pect, whose name was known,
would shed light on the maniacal
"Boston strangler" who is be
lieved to be the slayer of some
of the women killed since last
June 14.
A new wave of terror spread
through suburban Belmont where
Mrs. Israel B. Goldberg, 62, a
hospital worker, was found stran
gled with a nylon stocking Mon
day in her $30,000 home.
Hired For Party
Police said the chief suspect
was a Cambridge handyman
hired to clean the Goldbergs'
house in preparation for a party
Monday night.
Israel Goldberg, 68, told police
he telephoned his wife in their
home six miles northwest of Bos
ton Monday from his office in
Chelsea at 2:30 p.m. Her body
was found about 90 minutes later
when Goldberg returned to the
fashionable Dutch Colonial house.

Favors Keeping Agency
He said misunderstanding, how
ever, was no reason to abolish the
agency. . j
The governor said it did a fine
job during the Columbus Day
storm.
Disputing charges that warnings
were inadequate as the storm
moved northward, Hatfield said
there were plenty of warnings.
He said people tended to play
down the warnings because of the
frequency of windstorms in west
ern Oregon, underestimating the
ferocity of the killer storm.
Hatfield said Civil Defense and
other agencies in Salem provided
the only coordinated and opera
tive communications center in the
hours during and after the storm.
Hatfield said the Oregon CD
agency has an "outstanding rec
ord" in the nation in designating
shelter spaces.
Dismisses Other Issues
On other matters, Hatfield said
Traffic Safety Hatfield said if
the legislature was concerned
about saving lives, it would stop
talking about the storm and con
centrate on the 76 lives lost in
traffic in Oregon so far this year.
He called for passage of his traf
fic safety program, including seat
belts, speed limits, implied con
sent, and expanded arrest power.
Recreation He said he had
written U. S. Senate Minority
Leader tverett Dirksen urging
his support for the federal out
door recreation bill. Dirksen has
said he will oppose it.
Party Hatfield said he planned
to continue frequent meetings with
Republican leaders in the legisla
ture, and would continue to attend
some GOP caucuses as well.

Police said there was evidence
she had been raped and indica
tions she battled her assailant
violently before she died. They
said Mrs. Goldberg's clothing was
torn. In the living room they
found lamps and chairs over
turned, vases smashed and a
lampshade crushed.
Slayings All Similar
Mrs. Goldberg's slaying was
similar to at least six of the eight
other victims, police said.
Six of the others were stran
gled with an article of clothing
and had been raped. The other
two may have been sexually as
saulted. Mrs. Goldberg was a volunteer
aide at two hospitals and six of
the others had worked at area
hospitals. Two others recently
had been hospital patients.
There was no evidence of
forced entry in any of the slay

only victim who did not live in
an apartment.
A handyman, painter or roofer
was a key suspect in several of
the strangling.

STELNEBACH, Germany (UPI
Georges Bidault, leader of i

French President Charles de

cal asylum m West Germany to

Heinrich Junker, interior minis
ter of the West German state of
Bavaria, said Bidault could have
asylum if he makes a written re

litical activity. He said Bidault
already had made an oral re
quest for refuge.
Bidault, 63, a gray-haired for

Bidault's aides Monday night
denied he had made an oral re

covered in this Alpine resort Sun

whether the dapper fugitive from
France would agree to Bavaria's
conditions that he cease political
activities.
In Paris, French officials said
they interpreted reports that Bi

looked upon his possible stay in

to the problem.

Thousands Flee Floods In
Tri-State Twisters Leave 4
By United Press International
Pounding rains and deadly tor
nadoes set the stage for some of
the worst floods on record in the
Southland today.
Thousands of persons fled their'
homes, cities were isolated and
states of emergency and disaster
were declared as rivers roared
from their banks in Kentucky,
Virginia, West Virginia and
Tennessee.
It was the East's second major
flood disaster in a week. More
than 4.000 families were driven
from their homes and more than
20 persons were killed in floods
which poured through the Ohio
River Valley last week.
March violence punished other
parts of the nation. Snows of bliz
zard intensity piled up 8 to 10
inches deep in Northwest Kansas.
All roads in the atlccted area,
were impassable, cars and trucks!
were stalled on highways and in!
ditches, and the Weather Bureau
called the blast "a prolonged af
fair and extremely dangerous.'
Thick fog and murky weather
spread from the Middle West to
the Atlantic Seaboard. The landing
wheel of an Eastern Airlines plane
collapsed while landing on the
rain-slicked runway of Boston s
Logan Airport, but none of the
20 persons aboard was hurt. The
fog closed down Chicago s O Hare
airport, the world's busiest ter
minal, through the night until
7:45 a.m. CST.
One death was blamed on the
Dixie floods a man killed when a
train overturned at a washout east
of Shelbiana, Ky. A man whose
truck was believed swept into a
creek in Kentucky's Pike County
was also believed to be dead.
Four more persons were dead
and more than 20 were injured in
tornadoes which raked Mississippi,
Alabama and Tennessee late Mon
day and early tlWay. The threat
of more twisters hung over the
Southland. The Birmingham
Weather Bureau flashed an alert
of possible twisters in the Cull
man area, wnicn iook tne worst
of Monday's storms, and in Syla-
cauga and Tuscaloosa areas.

Citizenship
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - U.S.
citizenship was sought today for
John (Jake the Barber) Factor by
the same government agency that
only last December recommended
his deportation.
Factor, 70, Chicago gangland
kidnaping figure -of 1933 turned
investor and philanthropist, could
be granted immediate citizenship
if a petition filed Monday in U.S.
District Court is approved.
The petition, filed by an attor
ney for the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service, comes be
fore U.S. Judge Jesse W. Curtis
next Monday.
The same agency recommended
Dec. 18 that Factor Le deported
on the basis of his 1943 conviction
in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on mul
tiple counts of using the mails to
defraud.
Although Factor served six
years in prison for the 194.3 mail
fraud conviction, he was best
known for his part in an alleged
gangland kidnaping in Chicago in
1933. Factor maintained he was
kidnaped by Roger Touhy, who
was shot to death on a Chicago
street 22 days after his release
from prison in 1959. Touhy had
served 26 years for his part in
the kidnaping.

The members of the KU school
board wrestled with this problem
Monday night at their regular
board meeting in the city admin

would take futher study and pos
sibly a tour through the high
school before making a final deci

The board did not decide on a

that a split shift be adopted.

Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton

bills they had drafted to halt op

He said the main problem in

"People not familiar with the

Most of the parents in the audi

objected to depriving hard work
ing students of the opportunity of
taking six courses.
Lorcn Miller, assistant KU prill
cipal, said he thought most par
ents would rather have their chil
dren taking five classes and
studying under conditions condu
cive to learning than taking six
courses under present conditions.
'The teaching situation is defin
itely being affected by the noise
and under a split shift a sixth
course could be added at night,"
Miller said.
McKinncy said at the March
6 teachers' meeting there was a
pervasive feeling among the teach
ers that there was a general fail-
"one of the five major serious
issues confronting the legislature
this session."
Rep. Berkeley Lent, D-Portland,
opposed agency rule-making pow.

"It's another case of the legisla
ture abdicating its power to a

Thornton replied, "Isn't that cut-

man, said.
McKinny said most scholarships

Borsting said awards might be

Honor Slated
For Churchill
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
House today was expected to over
whelmingly approve a resolution
offering Sir Winston Churchill hon
orary citizenship in lite United
States.
The joint resolution, which the
Senate also probably will approve
this year, would direct the Presi
dent to offer honorary citizenship
to tho 88-year-old British states
man.
If enacted, it would be the first
time Congress has ever bestowed
honorary citizenship upon a for
eigner. The House Judiciary Com
mittee, which approved the bill
last week, said the action was "to
express the highest esteem and
admiration of tho American people
for a great statesman and leader
of free peoples."
Churchill, whose mother Jennie
Jerome, was an American, once
described himself as an "angle-
American alliance.
Hie former British prime minis
ter has made no public comment
on the resolution, but he was un
derstood to havo informed Rep.
Francis E. Walter, D-Pa., Its spon
sui', that he would accept the
honor.
