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

WASHINGTON IUPH - For

Sending Girl

MOSCOW IUPI) Communist

On defense spending, Eisen
hower cautioned against appropri

for the military services. He said
it was up to Congress to deter

defense would cost, and then re-
fuse to allow "$1 more."
But possibly his most pointed
remark came in reply to a ques -
lion asking his current views on!
the man-to-the-moon program. He
made it clear that if anything he
is more opposed than ever to

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.

ed it.

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

JACKSON, Miss. (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

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.
