Newspaper Page Texttf.C? 0 """a!--1 3 -.AT C0!'P In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: Oregon Democrats went before the appropriations sub-committees of both houses o the congress yesterday to press for approval of budget requests for public worns projects in Oregon. Senator Morse and Senator Neu berger recommended to the Sen ate public works sub-committee that (Oregon) spending proposed in President Kennedy's budget be i.ji(tA!)t;u by about $8 million Similar requests that the budget be adjusted upward were made by Representatives Edith Green, itoDcri uuncan and Al Ullman. Senator Morse, in a prepared statement, urged that a budget re quest for $57 million for the John Day dam be tipped to $71 mil lion because of "long delays that have ensued in, past years." He also urged that $345,000 be add ed to the budget or the Coos and Millicoma Rivers project to nelp provide cheap transportation for logs in the Coos Bay area. Senator Neuberger endorsed a budget request for a project to deepen the Columbia river chan nel to 40 feet. She noted that the project had the endorsement of Representative Norblad (Republi can) of Oregon, and Representa tive Julia Hansen, of the state of Washington. Question: Is there anything WRONG with these requests that our kind old uncle in Washington come across with more money for his nephews and nieces out here in Oregon? Probably not. If the John Day Dam is going to be built, it ought to be finished as soon as possible. And if long delays in its construction have added $14 million to its cost. Uncle should put up the difference. The same, is true in the case of the Coos Bay projects. And no one in Oregon, I think, will quarrel with the contention that the channel of (lie Columbia river should be deepened to 40 feet as far up as Portland. The state of Oregon needs a deep wa ter port and the fact that Port land is a hundred miles back in the interior makes it all the more important. That brings ships CLOSER TO THEIR CARGOES and that can mean better markets for Oregon products. But Over the vears Ve have fallen into the delusion that these things are FREEi(1m mn cna, -hiof .lames E. GIFTS from our good old Uncle in Washington. They aren't.

Eisen hower said today "anybody who would spend $40 billion in a race to the moon for national prestige is nuts." Eisenhower made the blunt re mark at a breakfast meeting with about 160 Republican congress men.

On defense spending, Eisen hower cautioned against appropri ating unlimited amounts of money for the military services.

But possibly his most pointed remark came in reply to a ques - lion asking his current views on! the man-to-the-moon program.

OREGON, niper Kennedy Seeks Support For Racial Golden Rule WASHINGTON IUPI) Presi dent Kennedy sought national sup port today for a racial Golden Rule to put out "fires of frustra tion and discord" among Negroes by guaranteeing them full equali ty from lunch counter to polling place. Warning that there is "a risin tide of discontent that threatens the public safety," Kennedy de clared in a radio-television ad oress tuesday night that we face.. .a moral crisis as a coun try and as a people." 'It cannot be met by repres sive police action, he said. It cannot be left to increased dem onstrations in the streets. It can not be quieted by token moves or talk. It is a time to act in the Congress, in your state and local legislative body and, above all, in all of our daily lives." To carry out his aims, Ken nedy said he will send to Congress next week legislation which for the first time in this century would commit this country to the idea that "race has no place in American life or American law, In a near-paraphrase of the Bib lical Golden Rule, the Chief Ex ecutive said: "Every American ought lo have the right lo be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated." Kennedy spoke from his White House office shortly after he had federalized the Alabama National j Guard to enforce integration of 1 the state university. There were these immediate results Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield and other admin istraticn backers accepted Ken nedy's legislative challenge. Southerners in Congress reject ed it.

Street at the corner of Riverside WEDNESDAY, JL'NK 12, 13 Negro leader Martin lather. King Jr. called Kennedy's ad dress "a hallmark in tlie annals of American history. . .one of the most eloquent, profound and un equivocal pleas for justice and the freedom of all men ever made by a president." Rov Wilkins, executive secre tary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People INAACP), said Kennedy should have gone farther but had given "forthright support to and encouraged those Americans who want to eliminate racial discrim ination." Filibuster Likely Southern senators are expected to filibuster against Kennedy s civil rights legislation. Whether the legislation can overcome such an attack depends on how much support it gets from Republicans, most of whom were reluctant to commit themselves until they see the bills. For Kennedy, it was a dramat ic summation in public of the many pressures that have built up Mliw lare lima in jiint, ham. Ala., kindled a burgeoning Negro drive for "freedom" now, not later. My fellow Americans, this is a problem which faces us all every city of the North as well as the South," Kennedy said in an unwritten finale lo his carefully prepared text. Kennedy appealed lo Ameri cans "to move ahead and to pro vide the kind o( equality of treat ment which we would want our selves." Cannot Be Ignored "Now the time has come or this notion to fulfill its prom ises." Kennedy declared.

(UPI) Medgar Evers, who once vowed to remain in Mississippi "even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice," was shot to death by a sniper early today. Evers, 37, fell in the home with a bullet in his back and died about 15 min utes later at the University of Mississippi Medical Cen-. ter. En route to the hospital, he yelled several times: "Turn me loose," then lapsed into unconsciousness. Jackson Mavor Allen r Thompson interrupted - a Florida vacation to return to the Mississippi capital, plagued in recent weeks by 'civil rights protests, and or dered local police to put all their resources into an in vestigation of Evers' death. In Washington, the FBI offered its full laboratory and identifica tion facilities to the local investi gators. It was the third death in tlie South in the past two months in volving participants in racial ac tivities. Baltimore postman William L. Moore was shot from ambush April 23 while on a protest march near Gadsden, Ala., and mechanic Fred Link was slain during a clash between whites and Negroes Thursday night at Lexington, N.C.

Support Goes To Macmillan UADON U PI' -Prime Minis ter Harold Macmillan's cabinet threw its supiiort solidly behind him today with full approval of his handling of the scandal threat ening to topple his government. Well-informed sources said tlie cabinet members gave M.K-mi!!nn -their complete hacking during a two-hour secret session that was one ol tlie most dramatic since the Sue crisis nearly seven years ' ago. Tlie action put the cabinet . squarely behind Macmillan for his . ctmlrontation with tlx lbor op-' position at next Monday's parlia mentary session on the security asiieMs of the scandal. The backing of the cabinet was a key move in Macmillan's fight to retain his leadership of Brit ain ami stave off mounting de mands that lie resign. Macmillan's cabinet colleagues -rushed back to Uindon posthaste lor the critical meeting, arriving from such diverse places as Scot-, land and the United Slates. Tlie sources said they gave the prime minister their full confi dence alter hearing a report (rom the lord chancellor on security as pects of the scandal. The crisis readied its apex when former Minister of War.. John Prolumo admitted last week ' he had lied to the House of Com-, mons about his links with London playgirl Christine Kccler. He ad-! mitted his statement that there were no "improprieties" in his re lationship with her was untrue. I Then he resigned.
