No interpreter was needed during the historic meeting in the papal library since English is one of the seven languages spo ken by the Pontiff. UPI Telephoto By MKRRIMAN SMITH I H While House Reporter NAPLES, Italy (UPI I Presi dent Kennedy, fresh from a his toric meeting with Pope Paul VI. today called for greater Allied vanity in an apparent new chal lenge to French President Charles de Gaulle. At the last stop on his 10-day European tour, Kennedy also urged an end to "self-sufficient" nationalism in a speech at NATO Southern Command Headquarters. The President's visit to this southern Italy port city wound up a 10-day tour that took him to West Germany, Berlin, Ireland, Britain and Italy. 11c will fly from Naples to Washington to night. Spends Busy Day In an action packed final day, President Kennedy: Met with Pope Paul VI in Vatican City and heard the new pontiff praise his efforts to ob tain world peace and racial equal ity in the United States. It was only the third time a U.S. chief of state had met a Pope while in office. The late President Wood row Wilson came to the Vatican in 1915 and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower met Pope John XXIII in 1959. Conferred anew over lunch with Italian President Antonio Segni. Kennedy and Segni then issued a joint communique in which they agreed that negotia tions with the Soviet Union could and should be continued without weakening NATO and European unity can be acaieved without lessening collaboration with the United States. The two leaders al so agreed to continue studies on the possible development of a NATO multilateral nuclear force. Visited the North American Pontifical College in Rome where he was presented with some gifts the late Pope John XXIII had set aside td give him on his visit. The Pope died before he had a chance to present them so the gifts were presented by Richard Cardinal Gushing of Boston. One of the gifts was a rare auto graphed copy of the Pope's en cyclical message, "Pacem in Terris." Flew by helicopter from Rome to Naples where he visited NATO Southern Command Head quarters and delivered a major speech reviewing his 'findings and feelings" after 10 days in Western Europe. He said he was "heartened" by his observations. The President originally had been scheduled to return to Rome from Naples and leave for home Wednesday morning. But he de cided to cut short his four- country tour and fly to Washing ton tonight. Calls For Unity In his Naples speech, Kennedy stressed the theme that stronger Western unity is needed to meet the Communist threat. He said he believed the situation was improving. Speaking from a prepared text. the President was clearly mindful of the troubles within some of Europe's major governments France, Germany and Italy in particular and he realized trou bles of this nature could compli cate the international situation badly. His emphasis on the need for greater Western unity appears to be a direct message to De Gaulle who lias been opposing many policies within NATO Kennedy said he w as Liking the opportunity of the speech "to re view ... my findings and feelings after 10 days in Western Eu rope." "I have been heartened by their (European nations) increasing strength of purpose and moved by their commitment to freedom." He said that "1 shall return to Washington newly confirmed in my convictions regarding these principal propositions." He broke Ihein down as: "Our Western European Al lies are committed to the path of progressive democracy to so cial justice and economic reform attained through the free proces ses of debate and consent. He said "Uk? more the nations of Western Europe commit tliem sclves to democratic progress in their own countries, the more likely tliey are to cooperate sin cerely in the construction of the emerging European community. " . . .Can Take Heart" "Our Western allies are de termined to maintain and coordi nate Uieir military strength in co operation with my own nation." He said "we can take heart" from NATO's accomplishments but "we have much still to do." "The purpose of our partner ship in peace ... we do not be lieve that war is unavoidable or that negotiations are inherency undesirable. We do believe that an end to the arms race is in the interest of all and that we can move toward the end with in jury to none." "The economic irstitutions and support of Western European unity are founded on the princi ples of cooperation, not isolation, on expansion, not restriction." "Nations united in freedom are better able to build their economics than those that are re pressed by tyranny." "The people of Western Eu rope are moved by a strong ar.d irresistible desire for unity. What ever path is chosen, whatever de lays or obstacles are encountered, that movement will go forward." Allies Tightly Bound "The United States and West ern Europe are tightly bound by shared goals and mutual respect. On both sides of the Atlantic, trade barriers are being reduced, military cooperation is increasing, and the cause of Atlantic unity is being promoted. "The central moving force of our grat adventure is enduring mutual trust. I came to Europe to reassert . . . that the American Icommitment to the freedom of Europe is reliable . . ." Kennedy concluded that "by building Western unity, we are ending the sources of discord that have so often produced war in the past and we are strengthen ing the ties of solidarity that can deter further wars in the future." In The- Day's News By FRANK JENKINS From Salem this morning: From all indications, the State of Oregon wound up its 1961-63 fiscal biennium Sunday about A MILLION DOLLARS in the black. Freeman Holmer, state director of finance and administration, said his department had predict ed June 21 that there would be $987,000 left over from expendi tures by June 30. He didn't miss it very far. From Washington yesterday: The federal government head ed today (Monday, July 1 into its fourth consecutive year of DEFICIT financing, and indica tions are the fiscal situation will get worse before it gets better. Tile 1963 federal fiscal year end ed at midnight last night with the government IN THE RED be tween $7 billion and $S billion. The actual figure won't be avail able for about two weeks. The federal government is ex pected to go MUCH DEEPER in the hole in the next 12 months President Kennedy's $98.8 billion budget for fiscal 1964 projects a delicit ot $11.9 billion the sec ond highest in peace lime. Only the $12.4 billion Eisenhower defi cit in 1959 would top it. W hy the contrast' Well, here in Oregon government is CLOSE AT HOME. If it should go off the deep end in the way of deficit spending, it would prompt ly feel the hot breath of the home town voter blowing down the back of its neck. The Washington government is so far from home that it can kid a majority of the voters into be lieving that a -nation can spend itself rich. That's about the long and the short of it. The big news today? It may have its grim aspects1 but the big news a century ago was much grimmer. A century ago today was the second day of the battle of Get tysburg. At the end of the first day. General Lee was confi dent of victory. But, during the night, reinforcements arrived for General Meade, bringing his total up to about 93,000, as compared with Lee's 70,000. Until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the two great armies faced each other, each seeming loath to be gin the awful work of slaugh ter, which they knew was to follow. Then the Confederates ad vanced. General Longslreet lead ing their right wing up the slope of Round Top m an etlort to dis lodge Union General Sickles at the top. For two hours the battle raged. Longstreet led the Confederate charge, waving his men on to follow as if he were courting death itself. Union General Sic kles, his leg shot off by a cannon ball, still directed his men. The Confederates failed to take Round Top, but they carried Culp's Hill. The net results of the day were slightly favorable to them, tending to balance the results of the first day, which bad gone against them. But- When fell the shades of night The losses were counted up. They were heavy. Each side had lost about 10,000 men one out of about each seven for Lee and one out of about each nine for Meade. The night was spent pre paring for the bloody third day of the battle. That was ion years ago today. And another day was to follow.

Fair Plans Test Of Vote Counters SALEM (UPI I An electronic vote tabulating system that could revolutionize Oregon's election procedures will 'be given a test run at the State Fair here this summer. Secretary of State How ell Appling Jr. said today. He said if the test is successful, it could lead to an overhaul of balloting methods within the next two or three years. The 19fi3 legislature, at Ap pling's request, approved a meas ure which authorizes such tests. Plans for the test were drafted Monday at a meeting with Dr. Joseph P. Harris, professor emer itus of political science at the University of California. Six Polling Booths Appling said tile system, devel oped by Han-is, will be tested at six polling booths to be set up at the fairgrounds. He said each IV If A K? A m ses vote Ms unreal: Against ionpesssi Barry, Dirksen Said Against Civil Rights booth would represent a different precinct, and he hoped to get from 10,000 to 20.000 ballots. The system utilizes a small de vice into which a data processing machine card is inserted. Voters, instead of marking an "X" on a ballot, use a stylus to punch holes in the data card. The cards -then are fed through a processing machine which tabu lates the results. The system was demonstrated to lawmakers during the recent legislative session. Appling describes the system as "the most significant development in the election field in more than 100 years." '' ..: Fraud Safeguards He said the system would save money, be more accurate, speed counting, and provide safeguards against election fraud. If the State Fair tests are suc cessful, Appling hopes to make a one-county test of the method at a regular election within the next two years. He said it cost the stale $467,000 to manually count ballots in the 1960 primary and general elec tions. He estimates this cost could be cut in half. Appling estimated official re sults from a statewide election would be available by midnight election night. He said use of punchcards and electronic tabulating machines would virtually eliminate the pos sibility of fraud because pre pared lest cards could be used without notice to douole check tabulation results. Appling has been searching for a method of streamlining ballot ing procedures since 1961.

British Spy Reported Red Attorney General Sounds Call For Party Harmony Mafia Blast Kills Seven ROME (L'PIi The dynamite killing of seven police and sol diers spurred fresh demands to day for a government onslaught against the Mafia, the notorious Sicilian criminal society. Five police and two army bomb disposal experts were slain Sun day by a charge of TNT planted in an abandoned car in a suburb of Palermo, Sicily. It was the worst such massacre in 14 years. Indications that the police had been lured into the deadly trap by the Mafia raised a nation-wide outcry against the dread organ ization. Minister of the Interior Mari ano Rumor pledged in Parlia ment Monday tnat (lie govern ment would fight the Mafia "with all available means end judicial instruments. Sultan Named ZANZIBAR (UPIi-Seyyid Jam shid Bin Abdulla was proclaimed Sultan of Zanzibar today by Brit ish resident Sir George Mooring. The new sultan, 33, was pre sented in the palace throne room and later appeared on the bal cony to wave to thousands as a shore battery fired a 21-g u n salute. The same crowd saw the body (if his father the late Sultan Sey yid Sur Abdulla Bin Khalifa, who died at the age of 33, taken from the palace to a nearby mosque. LONDON I UPII -The govern ment said today that missing British newsman Harold Philby, reported to have been a former British counter - intelligence chief in Washington, may have gone behind the Iron Curtain. Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath told the House of Commons that Philby who admitted he once worked for the Soviets tipped off British diplomats Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean that Brit ain's secret service was about to crack down on them. Burgess and Maclean fled to Russia in 1951. Philby was serving as first sec retary in the British Embassy in Washington at the time. British press reports said he was then serving as senior official of the counter-intelligence service. Philby vanished last January Irom Beirut, Lebanon, where he was stationed as correspondent for the London Sunday newspaper The Observer. Heath told Parliament that Phil by, himself, may now be some where in the Soviet bloc. He said Phii'uy's wile, Eleanor, had re ceived messages purported to have been sent from behind the Iron Curtain. The lord privy seal said investi gation had failed to confirm a re port in the official Soviet govern ment newspaper Izvestia that Philby was with the lmman of Yemen. "This information, coupled with the latest message received by Mrs. Philby, suggests that he may hove left Beirut and may have gone to one of the countries of the Soviet bloc, Heath said. I can now tell the House that more recently Mrs. Ph 1 1 r y has received messages purporting to have come Irom Mr. Philby from behind the Iron Curtain, Heath added. WASHINGTON (UPI) - Ally. Gen. -Robert F. Kennedy stopped into a Democratic-Republican squabble over civil rights today, appealing for a bipartisan ap proach to the administration's proposal to ban discrimination on hotels and restaurants. Kennedy sounded the call for a cooperative effort during his sec ond day of testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee on public accommodations section of President Kennedy's civil rights package. The attorney general's remarks followed an exchange between two Republican members of the committee and the chairman, Sen. Warren Magnuson, D-Wash. Sens. Winston Prouty, Vt., and Hugh Scott, Pa., served notice that any compromise amend ments to the bills would have to come from the Democratic side The GOP senators said they felt any Republican action would be interpreted as an attempt t o weaken the bill. The attorney general Monday urged against any move that would weaken the proposal. Kennedy told the committee to day he felt the bill, as drafted in general terms, was satislactory but "if you want to define it spe cifically we will be happy to cooperate." Scott said tins was uic respon sibility of the majority party. MaEnu-son remarked that every senator on Hie committee "has a responsibility to offer amend ments" and said Republicans have done so on almost every bill belore Hie group. To pass the buck would be to presuppose that you have no re sponsibility to make better legis lation, Magnuson said to tne Republicans. Scott replied that any GOP amendment would be interpreted as a move to cripple the measure. Prouty then said he would favor an amendment to make the anti discrimination provision apply initially only to businesses doing over $1 million business annually, then graduate it over a five-year period until it applied to all businesses. "This would give some assur ance to the Negro community that we are making an effort to end discrimination in this coun try," Prouty said. Sen. John O. Pastore, D R. I. broke in to call Prouty's sugges tion "fantastic." Pastore told Prouty, "If you believe it, you should offer it." 'I don't intend to," Prouty shot back. "I'll probably vote for the bill as it is." Kennedy, asked for his opinion about who should propose amend mcnts, said he felt the proposal should be approached as a bi partisan matter." The exchange came after Prouty put a long series of intri cate legal questions to the attor ney general w ho exclaimed at one point: "I (eel like I'm taking my bar exam again." GOP Spurns Rights Blame WASHINGTON UPI Senate Republicans served notice today the Democrats must lake the lead in any compromise on the administration s proposal to ban discrimination in public accom modations. The statement was made by Sen. Winston L. Prouty, It-vt., as he prepared to question Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy in his second day of testimony before the Senate Commerce commit tee. Sen. Norris Cotton, R-N.H., echoed Prouty's view. Prouty said jn an interview there was "little doubt" the com mittee would approvo some form of the proposal, a key feature of President Kennedy's civil rights program. The attorney general, who said Monday the ban was "impera tive" if further racial unrest was to be avoided, offered to work with Congress in framing lan guage that would exclude small proprietors, if the lawmakers so desired. But Prouty made it clear that Republicans felt the Democratic majority must assume responsi bility for altering the bill. "I feel that any amendment should be offered by the majori ty, ho said. If there is any compromise, it's their responsi bility to submit it. and to accept full responsibility for it. Cotton said Republicans "have gotten a little tired of hearing Democrats say that if something doesn't go through around here, a Republican is to blame for it." "If there is to bo any face-lift ing on this bill, the Democrats had better come forward," he told a reporter. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga., among those who have opposed Presi dent Kennedy's civil rights pro gram. Wilkins spoke of the conspir acy to use Washington, D.C., "to continue human slavery under another name." Wilkins told a sweltering, over flow crowd that jammed the 4,400 seats and the aisles, halls and vestibule of a South Side church auditorium that Goldwater: "... wants what Sen. Russell wants, what Gov. Barnett of Mis sissippi and Gov. Wallace of Ala- -bama want a 'hands off policy by the federal government with tlie Negro citizen left to the tend er care of the Bull Connors (for mer Birmingham, Ala., police commissioner) of this world, to the supervision of state govern ments that bar him from voting and encourage a public climate in which he can be murdered if he tries to vote. "As we did successfully a gen eration ago in the case of those senators who voted to conlirm the nomination to the U.S. Su preme Court of a judge who had an anti-Negro record we intend to work actively for the defeat in the next election ot thoso law makers who fail to support and vote for strong civil rights legis lation." Wilkins said that Russell had declared the civil rights package is "unpalatable" to him and his. "We submit, Wilkins said, that the senator does not know the full meaning of the word. He and his will never know what 'unpalatable' really is until they, like the Negro, have the rotten mess of racial discrimination as a daily diet." Shotgun Blasts Fired At Home ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla. (UPD A Negro leader said "three or four white men" fired several shotgun blasts at his home Mon day night, slightly wounding two Negro youths. Dr. Robert B. Hayling, a den tist and a leader of the local branch of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Col ored People (NAACP). said the shotgun blasts damaged his small foreign convertible and screen doors on his home. Nikita Renews Treaty Ca BERLIN (UPD - Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev said to- d iy the "Damocles sword of war" still hangs over the world and once again called to.- conclusion of a German peace treaty. But he again refrained from setting a deadline for the signing of such a treaty. In his siieech to an East Ger man rally, Khrushchev once again reallirmcd his policy of "peaceful coexistence" with the West. The remarks assumed special impor tance because of their timing, almost on titc eve of the sched uled meeting in Moscow of Soviet and Chinese Communist loaders to discuss their ideological differ ences. The Sino - Soviet meeting Is scheduled to open Friday, and at the very heart of the dispute Is the "peaceful coexistence" policy backed by Khrushchev. The Chi nese Communists hold that war is inevitable if communism Is to be spread around the world. 'We want all the peoples of the world to be able to look calmly inter t)e future," Khrushchev told a crowd of 9000 in East Berlin's Werner Secicbindcr indoor sports arena. "Wo sland for peaceful coexist ence between states with differ ent social systems," he added. Khrushchev said tlie German people know only too well the meaning of war. "The understanding of man can imagine only with difficulty what Immeasurable damage a third ,vorld war would bring," he said. Earlier in his speech Khru shchev said Communist East Ger many has achieved an "economic miracle" comparable to that of West Germany. Ho asserted that Communist East Germany will overtake West Germany in the economic sphere. "This time already has set in," he dislared amidst an uproar o( appl&use. He said East Germany has achieved "an economic miracle" comparable to West Germany and has becomo "one of tlie mightiest Indust: ial states in Eu rope and tlie world." . ?
