MONDAY, APRIL 1, 1963 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 711)4 113 By FRANK JENKINS Good advice lor today: Watch your change. Don't take any wooden nickels And- If you're walking along the street and see a nice, fat-looking purse on the sidewalk, be careful. Go a little farther than that. Be CAGEY! Before picking it up, scan it carefully to see il it has a thread attached to it by which it can be whisked away before you can get your fingers on it. Before doing ANYTHING out of the ordinary today, stop, look and listen. Before acting, take the so ber second thought. Why all this caution? This is APRIL FOOLS DAY. If you were in London today and did any of these things, there would be a happily derisive laugh, and somebody would shout APRIL FOOL! If you were in Paris, walking along the Champs Ely sees, or the Rue Sainte Honore, or the Rue de la Paix or any where else, for that matter you would hear the same derisive laugh, but the words would be POISSON D AVRIL, meaning Apfil Fish. If you were in Edinburg and did something of the sort, you'd be called a GOWK meaning a cuckoo. Why all this? Nobody seems to be very sure of the origin of it all. But its very old. It just might be a relic of the Roman festival of Cerealia, held at the beginning of April. The tale is that Proserpina was sporting in the Elysian meadows, and had just filled her lap with daffodils, when Pluto snatched her up and carried her off to the lower world. Her mother Ceres heard the echo of her screams and went in search of the voice she had heard. But in vain. Her search w a s a "fool's errand." April is quite a month in his tory and literature. Samuel Val entine Cole, in his In April, says: "In April, Rome was founded; Shakespeare died; "The shot whose sound rang out from Concord town "And brought an avalanche of echoes down, "Shaking all thrones of tyran ny and pride, "Was tired in April; Sumter far and wide "Lifted a voice the years v never drown; "Twas when they laid the crown "On Lincoln's brow." Many of the most eventful pe riods in the history of the Unit ed States have begun in the month of April. Among these are the Revolu tionary War, the Mexican War, the War between the States, and the entrance of the United States into World War I. On April 14, 1865, Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Paul Revere made his famous ride on April 18, 1775 The San Francisco earthquake and fire was in April of 1906 Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States in April of 1789. April, you sec, is QUITE month. Sign Of Times SALEM CUPI Legislators were chuckling today over a sign pasted to the front door of the capitol building. . "House out of order," it stated. w '--. ajf. till iT1'' - FIREMAN COMMENDED Gov. Mark O. Hatfield sent a letter of commendation Friday to city fireman Don Crownover for the rookie fireman's heroic performance of duty in laving a man's life in a house fire March 24.

Six Bills Given Okay By Youths (Editor's Note: Kay Olson of La Grande, a member of the youth press corps, reported on the 1963 Youth Legislature for United Press International.) By KAY OLSON SALEM (UPD Six bills, includ ing measures on trallic saiety, truth-in-lcncling and abortion, were signed into law Saturday by youth Gov. Randy Guyer of Baker at the close of the 1963 Youth Legis lature. About 280 high school students from throughout Oregon attended the 16th annual Y. M. C. A. youth legislature Thursday through Sat- urday. Pnrpnso nf the event, is to. ac quaint youth with self-government in the United States. The students participated in a "mock" legisla ture which included an addrcssl from the youth governor, intro duction of some 70 bills, commit tees, house and senate sessions and joint sessions. Only nine bills finally cleared both houses and went to the gov ernor. He signed six, vetoed two and failed to act on one. Two of the six bills signed dealt with traffic safety. They would require at least two seat belts in cars, and would exempi meoicai personnel or nurses from liability for Eivina first aid. The governor signed a trutn-in-1 lending bill to require statement of simple annual interest rates. He also signed a bill tliat would exempt new manufacturing lirms (rom taxation until they lart to manufacture. The Governor signed a bill to make therapeutic abortions legal under specified conditions. He also signed a bill to provide for a governor's mansion. Vetoed were bills providing for periodic examination of licensed drivers and for an educational driving program. Guyer said parts of the measures were al ready in the law.

Giant high-speed presses of four morning papers rolled out of their enforced winter hibernation a few hours after holdout photoengrav crs wrote the finish to the 114-day newspaper shutdown. The World - Telegram & Sun. Journal-American, Long Island Star-Journal and Long Island Press prepared editions for this afternoon. The 213-104 vote by pholoen gravers to approve their contract offer turned the warm spring Sunday into a day of excitement The costly strike that had a dozen false endings had finally stopped. New York is alive again! ex claimed the New York Mirror, first of eight closed dailies to hit the streets after film star Natalie Wood touched the "start" button for the presses to roll. The Daily News, whose circu lation of over, two million a day leads the nation, followed wilh the headline "Well, hello there! We have news for you." At the News, the button-pushing honors went to the man credited with Economists Predict WASHINGTON 'LTD Twenty five economists have taken a long look into tlie year 2,000 and come up with a forecast of a U. S. pop ulation of 331 million persons and a bountiful economy for everyone. The forecast was contained In a 1.000 word report issued today by a research foundation called Resources for the Kuturc, Inc. The report represents five years of work financed by Ford Foun dation grants. The economists predicated their forecast on a lew big its, how ever. One is the assumption thai the cold war will continue for the next 40 years at approximately the present temperature and that there will be no major depression during that time to scar the econ omy.

"This is the best news story of the year and no April Fool's Day joke about it," began the Herald Tribune story under the headline "Oh, what a beautiful morning." The Times, with traditional re strain!, confined its enthusiasm to a four-column head summing up "114-day newspaper strike ends as engravers ratify contract; loss is in excess of $190,000,000." Some estimates of the econom ic losses to the city due to the shutdown ranged up to $450 mil lion. Now that the other papers have settled their differences with the unions, the Post is expected to start soon on its own negotiations with unions which have been working under old contracts.

Mark Hatfield was creating a "straw man issue" on higher education. The comments were in answer to charges by Hatfield Saturday before the State Building Trades Council at Klamath Kails. Hatfield warned of a possible $5 million cut in higher educa tion's budget, and said "there is still time to snatch higher educa tion from the jaws of devasta tion ..." House Speaker Clarence Barton and Senate President Ben Musa refuted the governor's charges. Barton said: "Nothing has tak en place in Ways and Means to indicate such a cut. No sugges tions have been made to cut back on 4-H, agricultural research, or the quality of education. Nor is this the desire of Ways and Means." Musa commented: "Ways and Means is simply asking 'do we need this? Is it necessary'." When we pass the budget we ll know what the money is going for. That is our job." Barton said the governor thought it "good finance" when the Department of Finance Public Aid Inaugurates Birth Plan CHICAGO iUPI The Illinois Public Aid Commission (1PAC) today inaugurated its plan to pay for birth control for mothers on relief without . jjaitin? tor the outcome- of a battle within the legislature to outlaw the plan Action by the legislature was stalled until alter Easter, and there were indications that t h e battle would move into the courts Spokesmen for the organizations of Chicago Mayor Richard J Daley and of Benjamin S. Adam owski, the Republican seeking Daley's office in Tuesday's city election, both threatened to seek court injunctions to force an end to the program almost as soon as it began. Critics said taxpayers were be ing forced to subsidize illicit sex. Some said the plan was a step toward legalized abortion and mercy killing. IPAC Chairman Arnold H. Marcmont, a Chicago industrialist who first proposed the policy last fall, countered that it was im moral to ignore the picas of the poor for help in preventing the birth of unwanted, illegitimate children. Marcmont called the policy "one of the most significant pub lic aid measures everidopted by any stat." Maremont's plan was aimed pri marily at the 60.000 mothers re ceiving aid to dependent children allowances. Nearly three-fourths of these women are widowed, di vorced or unmarried. They re ceive nearly $12 million a month in tax money for themselves and their children. Maremont had tlie tacit backing of Gov. Otto Kerncr. Democrat Kerner meticulously kept his opin ions on birth control to himself, but he had been outspoken in his praise of Maremont and the prog ress of the commission in trying to solve public aid problems. World wage earners will be paying taxes on a national budget of half a tril lion dollars a year. The aim surplus will still be with us. The experts foresaw no "gener al running out of resources dur ing the remainder of the century, or (or a long time thereafter." But they stressed that the good lilc lor tlie year 2.000 will depend on wise use of resources. Water was seen as one of the major resource problems of the (uturc. The experts said a serious water shortage threatens in tlie western United States. The West, they explained, has only a fifth as much water as the East "but its withdrawal depictions are four times as large." The East also will have water problems, however, involving pol lution. Increased storage capacity trimmed millions from agency re quests. "But when the legislature trims, it is called budget assassi nation." Both Barton and Musa said this was the "hardest working" legis lature they have seen. Barton said he applauded recent action by the Board of Higher Education to increase academic standards for out of state stu dents. 'We don't want our colleges to become a dumping ground for the dregs that cannot enroll in schools in their home states. We don't want a bunch of simple simons Hatfield Optimistic For CD Plan Salvage SALEM lUPD-Gov. Mark Hat field said today he was "still op timistic" he could salvage a work able civil defense organization. Hatfield told a news conference the "program" was more impor tant than Scci(ic money amounts. The Ways and Means Commit tee last week voted to slash the present 18-man agency to a three member staff attached to Hie gov ernor's office. The governor had asked funds for a 20-man agency. Hatfield cited budget cuts made by the legislature for the Racing Commission, auctioneers, civil service, Marine Board, Supreme Court, treasurer, library, and others. He said he signed the re duced appropriations because we can live within them. ' "Basic Programs" "We're talking in terms of basic programs, not in dollars alone," he said. i ,Hc. denicMhe was :making t "straw man issue" of higher cdu eation's budget, as was charged by House Sieaker Clarence Bar ton. He said higher education Chan cellor Roy E. Licuollcn had been alerted by Ways and Means co- chairmen, Sen. Ward took and Rep. Ross Morgan to plan for a $5 million budget cut. , "1 termed this a probability in my Klamath Kalis speech," Hat- licld said. "It indicates to me that the pre siding officers are not in close contact with working committee members." He said basic policy decisions for higher education should be based on "sound educational pol icy, not merely on a budget ap proach. Not "Dumping Ground" He also denied Oregon was a dumping ground" for "the dregs" who could not gain trance to their home slate col leges. He said "our first obligation Ls to Oregon students. I do not feel we have sufficient scholarship aid to meet our own needs." The comments were in answer to charges by Barton that low academic requirements allowed poor quality out of state students to crowd Oregon colleges. Barton had suggested scholarship aid for "outstanding" out of slate stu dents. Hatfield again blasted the "snails pace action" of the legis lature. He said tlie present legis lature had passed about 70 bills so far, and that previous sessions by this time had passed out more than 100 bills. "The legislative pay bill shows they can act with speed if they want to," he added. Of Year and more thorough treatment of waste water arc the two greatest needs, the economists said. Big Use of Synthetics Other highlights of the report: The huge economic growlh means the United States must ex ploit use of lower grades of raw materials and substitution of syn thetics and plentiful materials lor scarce ones. Land use will have lo be more efficient; including such dou ble use as having range land and forests double as outdoor recrea tion areas. Farm land must ho used with greater efficiency. Ur ban planners must be careful to include parks and open spaces In the continuous cities that will stretch from Boston to Washing ton, from Buffalo lo Milwaukee by 2000. Forestry planners must study Issue Label cluttering up our clussrooms, he said. But Barton said "outstanding" out of state students should be encouraged to attend Oregon in stitutions. He said he favored pro viding scholarship assistance for such "outstanding" students. Musa charged Hatfield "twists the truth," and claims credit for gains made by the legislature. The Senate president said the Tax Court was a result of a 14-ycar drive in the legislature, but that when it became a reality that Hatfield attempted to take all the credit. Hatfield said he had received very good" backing from the Republican leadership and singled out minority leaders Rep. K. F. Montgomery and Sen. Anthony Yturri, and Sen. Walter Lcth for praise. He did not criticize the many public hearings being conducted by the legislature. "You can't have sound legislation without hearings," he told reporters. Two Secure Petitions For Filings Harold Ashley, city school clerk, announced Monday that two niore persons have taken out papers, for school board posts. The school board election is slated for May 6. The deadline for filing petitions is April 5 and they should be filed wilh Ashley at the adminis tration building. Voters must also be registered April 5 and all petition signers for school board candidates must be registered vot ers in the district the candidate is filing for. Papers were taken out Mon day lor Ted W. Hyde, 1320 Paci fic Icrracc. Hyde will run for the post on the KU board vacated by John D. Voth, board chair man. C. 0. Borsting, who is presently board mqmlicr serving for the Weyerhaeuser-Lenox district, has also taken out pajicrs for Volh's post. Bo-sling will not be able to continue representing t h e Weyerhaeuser district since he no longer lives there. Papers were also taken out by Lou Kclhson, Route 3, Klatnalh Falls. It has not been deter mined if Kellison will run for an elementary board post of the KU board post vacated by Borsting. In order for a resident to regis ter as a voter at the county clerk's office he must have lived in the district he will vote in for at least six months. Bill Killed SALEM lUPIi-A bill to take law cniorcemcnt duties away (rom sheriffs and give them to Ihc stale police, was killed today by Ihc House Committee on Slate and Federal Aflairs. 2,000 methods of reducing tree losses and improving growth and re placement.

Water Conservation Necessary Water must be used more ef ficiently; it will be wise to shift gradually "toward higher value industrial and municipal uses and away (rom the low-value use in irrigation agriculture." Demands for energy lo pro vide heat und power will triple by the end of the century; cool deposits appear ample but not oil and gas. Nuclear energy thus must be brought increasingly into play.

RAIDERS RESTRICTED Cuban exile leaden were under strict government orders to remain in a 2,500 square mile area of Dade County and Miami, a restriction that brought an angry reaction from Cubans in this country.

They sharply criticized the new U.S. crackdown but emphasized that Iheir projected naval war on Communist shipping would not be carried out from United States territory.

The military action was be lieved set off by announced plans of former President Juan Jose Arcvalo, a leftist but self-pro claimed anti-Communist, to rally support as a candidate in tho presidential elections next No vember. The army announced that Are- valo had succeeded in slipping into the country from Mexico last week. Arcvalo's administration from 1944 to 1051 preceded the pro- Communist regime of Col.
