Clay Report Criticizes Program WASHINGTON ILPD - Presi dent Kennedy Friday received a report by a special White Hoi isa task force which is expected to toucn on a major battle in Con. gress over the U.S. foreign aid program. The report prepared by a Io nian group headed by Gen. Lu cius Clay is said to be critical of many aspects of the aid pro gram although not calling for ma jor reductions in the. total cost. Several leading congressional op ponents of the program have been holding their fire until they saw the report. Rep. Otto Passman, D-La., chairman of the key House For eign Aid Appropriations Subcom mittee, said he hoped the report would recommend deep cuts in the dollar outlay-of help to for eign countries. He said, in effect, it would be "meaningless" unless it recommended cuts of more than $1 billion from the $4.9 bil lion asked for fiscal 1964 by Ken nedy. Other congressional develop ments: Harriman Assistant Secretary of State Averell Harriman told a Senate subcommittee that people in the foreign service sometimes are "set back" or "ousted"' for saying what they think while the cautious are often rewarded. Har riman, due for elevation to the Stale Department's No. 3 post, said conditions in the diplomatic corps are better today than in the past, but still need improvement. Transit-The U.S. Chamber of! Commerce told a Senate hearing that it is not against local govern ments subsidizing mass transit systems. But it said it is unalter ably opposed to the'federal gov ernment entering the picture. A spokesman told a hearing on the administration's proposed federal aid program for transit systems that progressive cities have proved that they can handle the problem without federal interven tion. Cuba aid Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho, wrote Secretary of State Dean Rusk urging that the United States continue to press the United Nations to cancel a farm aid plan in Cuba. The project is to be carried out by a U.N. Com mittee which normally gets 40 per cent of its financing from the United Slates. Church said law makers have doubts about U.N. assurance that no U.S. money would be used in the Cuban proj ect. News Chief Asks Study Of Media WASHINGTON (UPD - White House press secretary Pierre Sal inger Friday threw the charge of news management back at the nation's editors and broadcasters. He called for a study of whether they are handling news in the public interest. Salinger advanced the proposal at a lunch of the Women's Na tional Press Club here. The White House released excerpts of his re marks. The press aide vehemently de nied that news management was a policy of the Kennedy admin istration. He cited examples of news stories which he said were either slanted or untrue. He said this was "news management in its purest form.". -"The government cannot and could not present a false image to the, public" Salinger said. "The activities in Washington and around the world are too closely covered by the press to make this possible, even should an administration have auch a de sireand I assure that has not been and" never will be the policy of this administration." After pleading innocent to news management even' during the worst of the Cuban crisis Salin ger said he thought there was only "one legitimate place where news can be managed that is at the desks of our newspapers' city editors and managing editors and at the desk of our radio and tele vision station news directors." "And it is here, I believe." the press secretary said, "that the really fundamental study should be made to determine whether news is being managed in the public interest.

The grouping might be extend ed later to include Algeria and Yemen. Syrian Premier Salah El 3itar left for home Thursday night, winding up three days of inten sive talks with President Gamal Abdel Nasser and other Arab officials. A communique said the talks produced "complete agreement" on the necessity for cooperation... on a solid basis guaranteeing the three countries their full rights. Delegations from Iraq and Syria were expected here in the next few days to work out practical details of the proposed federa tion. It was not certain whether Bitar would return for the de tailed discussions. The communique said recent revolutions led by Nasserite army officers in Iraq and Syria created the opportunity to "build an equal federal union" which could be ex tended fater to "every liberated Arab country." As of now, Algeria and Yemen are the only other Arab countries the proposed member! of the federation regard as "liberated." Observers said the wording of the communique indicated Nasser had patched- up his differences with socialist leaders who quit their "United Arab Republic"' alignment with Egypt in 1U61. Anti-Dating Rule Backed JERSEY CITY, N.J. (UPD The Rev. James Carey, who out lawed steady dating at St. Michael's High School last month, told the assembled student body Thursday 30 of them faced expul sion if they did not heed the ban by Monday. "You know who you are," Fa ther Carey said. "Unless you come to see me in the rectory by Mon day morning, you better not come to school." loiter, the Roman Catholic priest said most of live 30 students had come to him and said they would abide by the ruling. Father Carey delivered a 45-min-ute sermon to the 600 students and apologized for the international at tention his ban had drawn. "This is not a reflection on you," he told the students. "It is a' man ifestation of the deep interest in this subject." He said the ban applies only to steadv dating between the same two parties to the exclusion of all others. "We see the results all around us in the growing number ol teen age unwed mothers." he said. "Can we doubt the cause?"

The article wrre writ ten by Hans A. l.lnde. professor of constitutional law at the Uni versity of Oregon and a mem ber of the Commission.) The first joint resolution to be introduced in the newly convened Oregon House of Representatives Assembly, on January 18. 1963, was no ordinary piece of legisla tion. The opening clause of House Joint Resolution 1 reads: "Be it resolved by the Legislative As sembly of the State of Oregon, two-thirds of all the members of each house concurring: (1) The following revised Constitution ot the Stale of Oregon is adopted in lieu of the Constitution of the State of Oregon of 1859. as amend ed, which is repealed." II. J. R. 1 is, in fact, a proposed new constitution for the state of Oregon. As such, it is the most important proposal to come be fore the 1963 Legislature, which has many important and difficult problems facing it. Others ot these problems are urgent, not ably the thankless task ot finding tax revenues to pay the state s bills for the next two years. But H..I.R. 1 is not a proposal for one biennium. The revised Con slitulion it proposes may be Ore gon V basic charter ot govern- ment for a century. Under authority voted by the peo ple in I960, the Legislature may submit a revised Constitution .on the ballot to the voters for their adoption or rejection.' To carry out this responsibility, the Legis Brown Slaps At Boxing SACRAMENTO (UPP - Gov. Edmund U. Brown Friday called once more for complete abolition! of boxinc in California. In a news release, he called Thursday night's Davey Moorc-Ur-timino Ramos fight an "illustra tion that boxing even under ideal conditions is a brutal sport, it it can be called a sport. The covcrnor, long an opponent of boxing, said the Moore bout in Los Angeles saw a champion ship fighter in prime condition with only one technical knockout on his record, who had been care fully examined before the fight . "During the fight he did not ap pear to he badly hurt," tho gover nor said. "All the regulations were fullv complied with." "These ideal conditions were due in large part lo the dedicated work of the California Athletic, Commission, which has worked hard lo keep the sport of boxing clean and to protect the interests of Ixith the public and the boxer. But, the governor said, Moore was now lighting lor ins tile in a Ias Angeles hospital and probably has suffered a pcrma iicnt injury. t can only conclude once again that there is .only one way to pre vent deaths and severe injuries in the ring and that is to abolish the so-called sport completely," the governor said. Two California legislators al ready were ahead of Brown's re quest for. an "immediate bill." Assemblyman Carl A. Britschgi, IMtcdwood Cily. and Alan G. Paltee, It-Salinas, vowed they would introduce a constitutional amendment "as soon as possible" lo abolish the sport both profes sional and amateur. Such a measure would require a two-thirds majority vole from both legislative houses before it could be placed on the ballot. in ii mm 5 n'S' iM C This is a stamp. Color it free to remind you that we pay the postage both ways when you bank by mail. REVISION EXPLAINED To Guide lature has created special com mittees in the Senate and House to examine and consider the pro posed revised Constitution. H J R. 1 was introduced by the chair man of the? committees. Senator Walter Pearson of Portland and Representative John Dellenback of Medford. But the Legislative Assembly cannot itself enact a constitution for Oregon. It can only propose; ultimately the people themselves must dispose. The purpose of this and the following columns, therefore, is tu present the most important as pects of the proposed revised Con stitution. To most people, constitutions do not make exciting reading un less they happen to live in a coun try without one. The United Stales Constitution excited the world in 1789, and it still has the power to do so today. But Americans take our constitutions for granted. Many think of them as legal documents, to be under stood only by lawyers and courts. If the Oregon Constitution needs revision, why not let the legal experts take care of it? Yet the adoption of a constitu tion is the ultimate political deci sion of a self-governing people. "All power is inherent in the peo ple," reads Article 1, section 1 of the present Oregon Conslitu tion. in the words of 1837, and continues: ". . . and they have Only Criminal Ghosts Now Inhabit San Francisco Rock SAN FRANCISCO (UPP-Only the ghosLs of "Scarfaco Al" Ca pone, George "Machinegun" Kelly and others of America's most notorious gangsters inhabit ed the lofty cell blocks of Alca traz Prison today. The last 27 of the island pris on s 260-mmate population were removed Thursday and trans ferred to other institutions pre paratory to closing down "The Rock" by June 30. Those. 27 left the easy way by boat. During its 29 years as the home of the federal government s most hardened convicts, seven in mates were shot and killed, six drowned or were believed lo have drowned, and 2ft were seized in 14 escape attempts. A blond, thin-faced gun-smug gler from Anchorage, Alaska, named Frank C. Weatherman had the distinction of being the last inmate off Alcatraz. A newsman asked him how he felt about it. "Good. Good for me, good for everyone. Alcatraz never was no good," the 29-year-old convict re plied. Alcatraz was opened in 1934 to house incorrigibles during the wave of gangland violence that followed the end of prohibition. The decision to abandon the 29- ycar-old prison in San Francisco Bay was prompted by Its deleg ation from age and salt air. Federal officials said it would coSt-$5 million to renovate it. The condition of the prison was dramatized last June when three bank robbers used sharpened spoons to dig through rutting con SMALL APPLIANCE REPAIRS Vacuum Cloanorl Irons Minors Corfoo Mokors Fans Toasters Htatars Eltctrie Fry Pans WORK GUARANTEED REX APPLIANCE REPAIR CENTER 162 I.

Oregon has been on the way toward such reforms (or the past two years, since tlie 1960 vote that authorized the proc ess of revision. Constitutions are. indeed, law; and much of the proposed revi sion is of interest only to special ists. These columns will deal with tliose major principles in tlie Re vised Constitution that are of im portance to all the people in whom "all power is inherent," and on whom its final fate de pends. They will cover the back ground and reasons for constitu tional revision; proposals for the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government; the Bill of Rights; the continuation of ma jor parts of the present Oregon Constitution; and the present sta tus and prospects of constitution al revision in Oregon. BACKGROUND FOR. REVISION The whole story of constitution al revision in Oregon would have to reach back more than a decade and do justice to 111 efforts ol many men and women. It can only be briefly sketched here. In 1951, a proposal to call a constitutional convention was in troduced in the Oregon Legisla ture. Two of its legislative spon sors later became governors ol Oregon: Sen. Robert D. Holmes crete at the back of lhe4r cells and fled the Island. Officials arc convinced they drowned, although their bodies were never found. But the most spectacular es cape attempt was the May 2 1946 "Battle of Alcatraz" wit- f essed for two days by thousands nun the hills of San Francisco. Navy destroyers circled the is land, U.S. Marines slormed ashore and fighter planes zoomed luw overhead as nine inmates at tempted to "blast out" of a three tiered ccllblock. But lliey were thwarted when a captured guard managed lo hide an all-important key; he was beaten and killed when yie prisoners tried unsuccessfully to force him to reveal tho hiding place.

The need far constitutional revision, by a con vention or other means, was ex amined by a legislative interim committee during 1953-54. The committee found much need for revision; a hare majority favored tlie convention method, but no convention was called. Yet under tlie existing Constitution, only in dividual amendments could be submitted to tlie voters, and real reform was impossible. In 1959, the Legislative Assem bly decided to propose that tlie Legislature itself be authorized to submit major constitutional revi sion to the people assuming, in effect, the powers of a constitu tional convention. That authoriza tion was given by tlie voters in tlie 1960 election. Of course, the 1961 Legislature could not at once act on this new authority within tlie brief span of a busy legislative session.. It therefore established the Ore gon Constitutional Revision Com mission to prepare recommenda tions for constitutional revision for the 1963 session. It is the revised Constitution prepared by this Commission that, in tlie form of H.J.R. 1, is now before the Legislative Assembly.
