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.

organized by 26 relief agencies in

CAIRO (UPI) - Government of
ficials were reported working Fri
day on a plan which might even
tually united Egypt, Syria and
Iraq in a sort of three-headed fed
eration. 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.

The Rev. James Carey, who out

told the assembled student body
Thursday 30 of them faced expul

by Monday.
"You know who you are," Fa

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

"Can we doubt the cause?"

Dedicated Revisers Propose Basic

"A NEW CONSTITUTION
FOR OREGON"
(This la the first of a series of
articles about the revised Con
stitution proposed by the Ore
gon Constitutional Revision Com
mission. 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

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.

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

in such manner as they may
think proper." 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

tiered ccllblock.
But lliey were thwarted when
a captured guard managed lo
hide an all-important key; he
was beaten and killed when yie

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.
