Newspaper Page TextU.Of ORe.LISSAHT mPAPER SECTIOH COW 4 In Th. Bay's lews By FRANK JENKINS From Costa Rica: President Kennedy and the chiefl executives of six middle Ameri can nations reached an agreement yesterday on what to do about Cuba. Their findings from two days of discussions of economic issues and means of curbing Red infiltration from Prime Minister Fidel Castro's regime were wrapped up in what is described as a historic eight-page Declara tion 01 Central America. Article No. 1 of the declaration reads: It is essential to reinforce measures to meet subversive ag gression originating in focal points oi communist agitation which So viet imperialism may maintain in Cuba, or ANY OTHER PLACE IN AMERICA." It's a good beginning. It recognizes FACTS. The grim No. 1 fact of the situ ation that seems to be shaping up in the Western Hemisphere is that the Soviet Union is hoping to make of Cuba an advanced post from which communism can be spread throughout Latin Amer ica. The Russians apparently pulled their offensive missiles out of Cuba. But the TROOPS they sent to Cuba are remaining there. It seems to be agreed that there are at least 17,000 of them. All ef forts to get them out have failed so far. What are they doing there? The natural conclusion is that their purpose is to make Cas tro's Cuba so strong that Castro can only be thrown out by ALL OUT WAR led by the United States. When all out war starts, no one can ever tell when or how it w ill be stopped. World War I started with the killing of an Austrian, archduke down in the Balkans. It spread from there. World War III could start from an attack on Castro's Cuba. Craf ty Old Kroosh probably reasons that we won't take the chance of starting World War III by going to war against Castro. At any rate, his purpose seems to be to make of Castro Cuba an outpost from which communism can be spread throughout Latin America. Not all at . once, of course. A little at a time. If he can keep all of Latin America suspicious of the United States, he will have made a lot of progress toward the ultimate communization of all of the West ern Hemisphere south of the Rio Grande. So- - It may be that in Costa Rica a promising start has been made t&ward lining up ALL OF LATIN AMERICA against communism. Let's hope so. Ohio Rivers Rise Again By United Press International Rivers on the rise today men aced residents of the Ohio River Valley in the wake of torrential thunderstorms and damaging winds. Snow slugged northern Michi gan and heavy snow warnings were posted for the Northeast. t Tornadoes, hail and violent winds scored parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee Mon day, causing widespread damage.

Saud himself was not on the plane. Driving snow and dense fog pre vented lescue workers from locat ing the wreckage, although an Italian National Police spokesman said "there are not likely to be any survivors." A spokesman for the rescue center in this mountain village near the French border said, "Un less the weather improves, the chances' of finding the wreckage tonight are very slim. The same British-built Comet IV had taken King Saud along with four legal wives, 26 concu bines, bodyguards and staff mem bers from Geneva to Nice on the French Riviera Tuesday for i convalescent vacation. The plane had returned to Ge neva to pick up other members of his party and was on its way back to Nice when it lost con tact with the Nice control tower and disappeared. Saud was at the swank Hotel Negresco in Nice at the time of the crash." He slept through a bomb scare there when an anony mous telephone caller said at S a.m. that an explosive had been planted in the building. Police found no trace of a bomb. Saud was not disturbed. But when he awakened he said through a hotel spokesman that Floppy Dog Saves Child HODGENS, Okla. (UPI1 -Law rence Graham has two flop-cared hound dogs. One of them he calls a "good kid dog." In other words, the pooch takes to children. The faithful hound Tuesday did what 200 soldiers, 300 civilians, a helicopter and pack of blood hounds could not do. He found 3- year-old Danny Thomas who had spent 26 hours wandering in the rattlesnake-infested Ouachita Na tional Forest. "I looked up on a rock," said Graham, "and the boy was pet ting one of the dogs. He ran the other one off. Leflore County Sheriff Hosea Austin said the youngster "was sunburned and hungry, but in good condition." The boy chattered constantly to police about the sights and sounds of the dense, thickly wooded hills and creeks he had visited. I found a big snake, and it sounded like a bell," he said. The child was not bitten. Danny, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Thomas of Hodgens, his 4- year-old brother. Gene, and 5-ycar-old sister, Dee Ann, left the house Monday and went to a near by creek. Gene walked home. The girl was found early Tues day tangled in some briars. Heavy rains fell throughout the night and police feared that Dan ny might have stumbled into one of the rain-swollen streams. But that was before a boy's best friend came along. Obscene By JUNE A.

University Heads Seek uildings SALEM (UPH-Collegeand uni versity presidents launched higher education's pitch for new build ings Tuesday night before the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Education. It was the first hearing on high er education's building program lor the coming biennium. Several members of the full Ways and Means Committee joined the sub committee members. A battery of higher education officials and their architects at- tended the hearing. Eloquent pleas for buildings, they want on their campuses were made by Univesrity of Ore gon President Arthur Flemming, Oregon State University President James Jensen, Portland State President Branford Millar, and Leonard Rice of Oregon College of Education. Chancellor Roy E, Lieuallen made the presentation lor Oregon Technical Institute.

The higher education spokesmen said some building needs were critical. Aided by architects, they gave detailed explanations of what the proposed structures would provide. Committee members questioned the college spokesmen at length about building needs, uses and priorities. The review w ill be con tinued at later hearings. Dunes Approval Claimed Near WASHINGTON (UPD Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall said Tuesday that agreement on the proposed Oregon Dunes National Seashore was closer than ever before. I Udall made the comment at a press conlerence shortly after Sen. Maurine B. Neuberger, D Ore., introduced a bill calling for a 42,000-acrc park. Rep. Robert B. Duncan, D-Orc.. had indicated earlier he intended to introduce legislation calling for a park just under 30.000 acres in size. Literature Alarms In support of Die movement, Crabtrec reported that under ex isting Oregon law the penalty for disseminating obscene matter is imprisonment in the county jail for not more than six months or a fine not to exceed $1,000, or both; and if sold to a child under the !8. he offender could0f (he legislature in making this :,,ri ,, : "" i--"- - f""- tentiary lor a period not exceed- a(ut public would not be rele ing five years.

The question thus arises as to0f tne problem, undcr existing what constitutes obscenity in the'aw mattci eyes ol the law. The Oregon statute prohibiting (appeals to immorality. This pre distribution of obscene malterjvents one or two objectionable was originally passed by the slate pages of a book or magazine from legislature in 19ol, but this law was suierscded by a new statute in WW. It slates that obscenity shall be judged by applying con temporary standards of the1 com munity. Therefore what may be considered obscene by a rural jury may not be so considered. by a metropolitan jury.

Bishop, local manager of the Weyerhaeuser Company, today announced a pledge by the company of $72,500 to the Pres byterian Intercommunity Hospi-, tal building campaign. Bishop pointed out -that the pledge is a challenge to the Klamath Basin to raise the total minimum goal of $725,000 since the Weyerhaeus er pledge is contingent on the rest College Girl Weds ia Crown Prince GANGTOK, Sikkim (UPD Hope Cooke, a 22-year-old Ameri can girl just out of college, to day became crown princess of! this exotic Himalayan principality in, a solemn Buddhist wedding performed by 14 lamas.

Princess Hope, an Episcopalian, watched with a faint smile as her second cousin, John H.

"The Weyerhaeuser Company is acutely aware of the need for modern hospital facilities in the Klamath Basin.

In addition the company knows that it has a responsibility as a good citizen to help provide the Princess Grace's Riviera do- main is smaller than New York's Central Park. The wedding in the royal pal ace monastery and accompanying festivities are expected to cost $100,000. The expense, partly from state funds, coupled with the decision to marry, a Western cr, had provoked some parlia mentary opposition, but the cere mony went off without incident. Descendent Of Pilgrims The bride, a descendent of May flower Pilgrims, appeared com posed as she sat on a low throne during the ceremony, occasional ly exchanging whispered com ments and smiles with the groom, who sat cross-legged on a throne next to her and slightly higher. The groom s father, 70-ycar-old Maharaja Sir Tashi Namgyal, sat c r o s s-legged on the highest: throne.

"I love my husband's people," she said, "and I want to be one of Ihem." Klamath standard as vague as obscenity, one of our, mnsl precious freedoms may be depend ent upon the convictions of a par ticular group of jurors. Justice O'Connell of the Ore gon Supreme Court noted in recent obscenity case that threats of prosecution arc often made by i.. piunciuuin, miui ill- s ui uiv: if quest of private censor organiza tions. Police or prosecuting at torneys may then give notice to distributors to withdraw publica- lions annearinir on blacklists ore- pared by these private censors . Justice O'Connell thus contends! "the test for obscenity may become a weapon of censorship in the hands of those whose inter est in free expression Is over ridden by an excess of zeal for virtue as they underslind it" and endangering freedom of the press. For example, some of the more con-iclaborate blacklists are those pre pared by the National Organiza lion for Decent Literature (NODLi, an organization which is backed by prominent persons! and civic groups throughout the United States.

In accepting the pledge from Bishop, Collier said, "Klamath Falls and the Klamath Basin is fortunate to have such a won derful corporate citizen as Weyer haeuser. I know 1 speak for ev eryone in the Basin when I accept this pledge with our sincere ap preciation. This tremendous contribution gives a great boost to our cam paign and is a real challenge to the rest of the area to really go fc work and raise the rest of our minimum goal. Our pledge total now stands at $374,640. In addition to the recognized need for a new intercommunity hospi tal, we now have the added mcen live of a challenging gift from the Weyerhaeuser Company, Larkin said.

Two members of the house lax committee, in response, rebuked the firemen's chief spokesman Harold Jacobson of Multnomah County, who spoke for the Oregon Fire Chiefs, Volunteer Firemen's, and Rural Fire Protection Dis tricts Association. Jacobson said if a cigarette tax was levied, liremen want one- fifth of a penny of It for training centers, strengthening the state fire marshal's office, and setting up a fund for relatives of firemen killed in action. The sum would amount to $900,000 a biennium. He said some firemen have "in timated" they would help refer a cigarette tax if the firemen were neglected. Committee Chairman Richard Eymann, D-Marcola, replied that the firemen were taking the wrong approach by asking for an earmarked portion of a tax. He suggested they seek a general fund appropriation like other state agencies. i I , "1 'hi' SHIP SINKS Two men awaiting rescue are shown on the stern of the sinking, three masted barltentine Bear, former Coast Guard cutter, famed for her Arctic and Antarctic voyages and thrilling lea rescues.
