Zoo Opens
Unique Area
PORTLAND - The Children's
Zoo opened June 1 when a gar
land of roses barring the en
tranee was cut by the 1963 Jun
ior Rose Festival queen as her
first official act.
Opening of the new and long'
planned child-sized complex, which
is incorporated into the zoo proper
heralded the oflicial summer sea
son for the entire Portland Zoo.
Zoo hours will be from 10 a.m. to
8 p m. daily through Labor Day
Meanwhile, the Children's Zoo i
which is hidden behind colorful
lences and muldings ot sunnvi
beige and pink and green and
blue and terra cotta houses every
thing from pigleU to parrots. Mag
nificent plantings of bright flowers
and shrubs decorate the grounds
The Children's Zoo includes t
boat canal in which youngsters
can ride aboard plastic boats. The
canal has special "beaches" to
which the ducks which share its
use can escape as boats approach.
Cows are in the stable, Shetland
ponies of smaller-than-usual size
arc in the paddock, goldfish are
in the pond, and pygmy goats and
friendly deer are standing by in
the Contact area. There is a big
tortoise hig enough or small fry
to ride in the Children's Zoo, and
a yellow-headed Mexican parrot
that carries on a llucnt convcrsa
tion from his cylindrical cage in
the too yard.
Getting into the Contact Sector
where the animals expect to be
petted and played with involves
climbing up a slide built against,
a wall and shooting down the oth
er side into a sandpile. There's a
j.ate for the less adventurous.
Salmon Run
Blast Noted
PORTLAND UPI Idaho
Power Company's proposal to
write off the salmon run above
its dams on the Sanke River was
criticized Wednesday as being
premature and based on insuf
ficent evidence.
L Edward Perry, director of
the Columbia River Fisheries
Program for tire U.S. Bureau of
Fish and Wildlife, told a Federal
Power Commission hearing he
still has hopes for the salmon
run.
I'cirv said he felt the company
fhnuld be required to continue its
fish passage program and
prove it so that it would pre
serve the natural production
salmon and steelhead above the
Iirownlce Dam.
The hearing is expected to con
tinue for the rest of the week.

Military Concerned Over Lack Of Leadership
lly COL. RAY CKOMl.t'Y

.Military Analyst
WASHINGTON i N E A i -A.mies
go downhill, regardless of
the excellence of their weapons,
when their leadership begins to
decline.
Today there is great concern
in the Army, Navy and Air Force,
not over a missile or weapon
gap, but over a future leadership
ap.
That shortage of lop leader
ship is expected to show up seri
ously in the 1970s as today's Navy
lieutenants and Air Force and
Army captains rise to positions of
major responsibility.
Not enough of the able young
officer types are staying in past
their original active duly obli
gation of three to four years.
The losses are heaviest in the
technical areas electronics, mis
siles, signals and basic science.
"We've been getting by," says
an Army colonel, "because of
the big group of able officers that
stayed in after World War II.
These men are beginning to
phase out now. They'll be grad
ually retiring over the next eight
or so years. I don't now what we
will do then. Not enough of our
best junior officers are staying."
Savs a Navv captain: "0 n e
of the best officers I know just
quit for a job in industry."
An Air Force lieutenant colonel
reports he recently visited the Air
Force's Cambridge Research Lab
oratory and talked to 33 first lieu
tenants. All were scientists, six
with bachelor degrees, 14 with
master's degrees and 13 with doc
toratcs. All were happy in
their work doing basic research
for the Air Force. The colonel
asked all 33 if they were plan
ning to stay in the service. One
said yes. four were undecided, 28
were getting out as soon as their
terms were up.
In fiscal l'2, the last for which
figures arc available. 7.195 naval
officers retired from active duty.
Of these, 4.642 were lieutenants
and lieutenants junior grade, most
of whom had just completed their
required period of active duty.
In the enlisted ranks it's
worse.

By PHIL NKWSOM
I'PI Foreign News Analyst
When Hed China last Decem
ber declared an arbitrary cease
fire in its border dispute w ith In
dia, it already had demonstrated
decisive superiority in at least
three departments essential to
successful warfare.
Its troops were better trained.
especially for high mountain
fighting in the Himalayas, were
better equipped and had the best
communications.
Through the winter the Chinese
also retained the tactical advan
tage, holding the high passes
while the Indians remained in the
plains below.
Whether the Bed Chinese!
mounted their attack for territori
al gains or to embarrass India
before the world, they did touch
off chain reactions which have
continued through the winter and
into the spring.
India, forced to abandon Prime
Minister Jawaharlal .Nehru's
cherished position of co-existence,
turned to the United States and
Britain for military aid which
was forthcoming to the tune of
$60 million apiece for the U.S.
and Britain assisted by members
of the Commonwealth.
The U.S. aid and the promise
of more to come led to an im
mediate chill in U.S.-Pakistan re
lations and disrupted the unity of
the CENTO pact which is the Al
lied defensive link between NATO
in the West and SEATO in the
East.
The Pakistanis charged that
long-term aid to India meant
writing off any settlement of the
long drawn-out Kashmir dispute
and created the possibility that
India would use tlw arms against
Pakistan.
On their side, the Indians ac
cused the Pakistanis of being
"willing tools" of the fled Chi
nese and cited as evidence the
recent trade and border pacts
concluded between Pakistan and
the Chinese.
The chain reaction touched off
other important developments.
The Red Chinese also conclud
ed a border pact with Mongolia
and used it and the Pakistan
agreement to trumpet its desire
for peaceful co-cxisteiico with it:
Asia neighbors.
Only 7 per cent of the Army's
surface - to air missile elec
tronic guidance systems repair
men sign up again after their first
enlistment, 9 per cent of military
intelligence specialists, 7 per cent
of the ballistic missile repairmen,!
15 per cent of the general elec
tronics specialists, 8 per cent of
the communications security spec
ialists.
The Navy finds that only H per
cent of its first-term data systems
and electronic technicians re-en
list, 16 per cent of its sonarmen
16 per cent of its aviation elec-
Ironies technicians.
The Air Force finds that only zsl
per cent of its first-team intelli
gence specialists re-enlist, 20 per
cent of its nuclear weapons spec
ialists.
Not all good officers and en
listed men are leaving, by any
means. Rut the future worries
many military men. As Junior
officers move up to Navy cap
tain and Army and Air Force
colonel and then to admiral and
general rank, there's a heavy se-lecting-out
process.
The services try to get rid of
their below-average, average, and
even many "just above average"
officers and select only the top
to stay in.
The trouble is." says an Air
Force colonel, "the group from
which wo can pick and choose is
getting smaller.
No one is certain why this of
ficer loss is so severe. Many Pent
agon officers believe it's the low
rate of pay a good Army, Navy
or. Air Force junior officer gels
in service compared to what he
can get in industry.
"A good many of our officers
can walk right out and double
or triple their pay, says one
colonel. "A really superior-type
officer can do even better. Re
member a good chunk of our of
ficers have college and advanced
work in technical fields. Industry
is fighting for them."
Oilier military men think that
part of the problem is the lowered
prestige of military officers ii) -recent
years. A Navy captaiir "re
ports that years ago when a Navy
ship came into a port, ''Wo
were handed the keys to the city.
Nothing was too good for us.
"Today, lie says, everybody s
nice, but the special doormat isn't
out. Even as captain of a major
ship coming into a port, no one
even offers me a guest pass on
the local golf course.
"Maybe that s a little thing, but
people used to make us feel that
we were important to them. Now
they don't. That recognition made
up for being away from home, for
a difference in pay scales, for a
lot of tilings. Now we don't have it.
And everybody wants recognition."
It is too early to determine the
results of Defense Secretary Mc
Samara's downgrading of the im
portance of the uniformed officer
in Pentagon planning. But there is
no doubt that there's increasing
dissatisfaction with today's prac
tice of ignoring the opinions of ex
perienced military men when
pitted against the young academ
ic experts McNamara has brought
into tile Pentagon.
