. This modern world note, culled
from the Wall Street Journal:
Americans are quietly hocking
many new post-war homes to meet
the bills of the "good life."
In the country's greatest era of
home ownership, the citizenry has
bought some 20 million new homes
since the war. Most of them, of
course, were bought with mort
gages. Now, with a part of the
mortgages paid off, NEW mort
gages are being plopped on the
bouses in epidemic proportions to
pay for everything from education
to travel to pleasure boating.
It is impossible to pinpoint pre
cisely how consumers are spend
ing mortgage money not used to
buy new homes . . . But the big
bulge in mortgage borrowing,
talks with mortgage lenders and
economists clearly indicate, re
flects spending FAR REMOVED
from the real estate realm.
Which is to say:
. ' Following the war, people of
our country bought homes some
20 million of them. As soon as tne
homes were finished and they
moved in, they began to pay otf
the mortgages. The war ended in
1945, and in the ensuing 18 years
a considerable part of the mort
gages has been paid off. In the
meantime, the value of their
homes has risen.
So now, instead of paying off
the remainder of the mortgages
and owning their homes free and
clear of debt, thus building up an
estate for themselves and their
children, .people are putting NEW
MORTGAGES on their homes and
using the .ready money thus ob
tained to "pay for everything
from education to travel to pleas
ure boating."
. Question:
Why do people do things like
that?
A sufficient answer is that the
example has been set for them
by their government. In 1945, at
the end of World War II, the
public debt of the United States
was $258.6 billion. Now, 18 years
later, it stands at about $306 bil
lion, and is heading higher.
- The present legal debt limit is
$309 billion only $3 billion above
the present debt. And spending
goes on unchecked. So a new debt
limit must be provided. Congress
is expected to be asked soon to
provide it. Presumably, it will do
So as it has done so often be
fore.
- Which is to say:
" In these 18 years since the Big
War ended the GOVERNMENT of
the United States has been doing
exactly w hat the people have been
doing. Instead of paying off its
debt, it has been spending high.
wide and handsome-ADDING TO
ITS DEBT instead of paying olf
on it.
The people, you see, have mere
ly been following the example set
for them by their government.
Can they be blamed'.'
Personally, I doubt it.
If the supposedly best brains
in our country the people we
elect to take care of our national
affairs, including taxes and pub
lic debt, spend like drunken sail
ors and put the difference be
tween income and outgo on the
cuff, the people are apt to do
likewise.
Like father, like son.
Like government, like people.
Conclusion:
This is a wonderful world we're
living in. We have more of the
ood things of lite than any people
ever had before but instead of
paying for it as we go we put it
on the cuff and leave it for future
generations to pay.
Troublesome question:
flow long can it last?

Lumber Talks Continue,
But More Plants Struck
By United Press International
The 200-member Timber Op
erators Council resumed bargain
ing sessions with lumber unions
today in Portland even as picket
lines were thrown up around the
operations of one of its members,
the Edward Hines Lumber Co.
Pickets from the Lumber and
Sawmill Union tLSW) and the In
ternational Woodworkers of Amer
ica (IWAi appeared at Hines op
erations at Westfir and Dee, near
Hood River, at 6 a.m. The com
pany's big operation at the town
of Hines, near Burns, remained!
open.
The company said 420 employ
es in a plywood plant, a sawmill
and woods crew were idled at
Westfir. The IWA represents the
logging crews and sawmill work
ers and the LSW represents the
plywood workers.
In addition, a spokesman said
pickets across logging roads kept
a number of logging contractors
and "gypo" haulers from work
ing.
IWA Hits Dee Plants
The sawmill, woods operations
and hardboard plant at Dee halt
ed work when pickets from the
IWA appeared. About 60 gypo log
gers and 193 regular employes
were affected. Supervisory per
sonnel were preparing to make
some shipments.
Both shutdowns were orderly.

True Facts Outlined
On $12,000 Suite
WASHINGTON (UPl) Memo
to Pierre Salinger:
That suite at Otis Air Force
Base, Mass., which you described
a residence for visiting of
ficers is equipped with incubator,
bassinet and baby scale.
There's a nursery there, too.
As you made abundantly clear
Wednesday, whatever was done
at Otis was done without the
White House's request or knowl
edge.
But reporters became slightly
confused upon hearing the Presi
dent's press secretary deny that
a suite had been set aside at the
Otis Hospital for possible use by
Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy when
she has a baby next montn.
As it turned out, there is such
a suite. The Air Force spruced
it up without telling the White
House. And if any "transient oi
licers" use the premises as you
insisted they do they will find:
Two elaborately furnished sit
ting rooms; a reception-sitting
room; six bed rooms; a nursery
a recently modernized kitchen
two workrooms for nurses; two
areas lor stationing secret serv
ice agents and a simple room
with hospital bed. color television
set, oxvgcn outlets, glucose con
tainers, and the aforementioned
incubator, scale and bassinet.

said "There has been no furni
ture bought or anything." But
sources at a Boston department
store said they delivered some to
the suite about a month ago, aft
er the rooms were redecorated
An Air Force spokesman said
the suite. 100 feet from the hos
pital's delivery room, was reno-l
vated at a cost of almost $5.ono
after Mrs. Kennedy's doctors in
.. ..
ucts factory at Hines, said those
plants expected to remain in op-1
eration until at least this weekend.
The company employs 850 to 900
men at Hines and at a subsidiary
operation at Bates.
Gerhardt said the presidents of
the LSW local in those areas were
in Portland today for a meeting
with other union officials, and an
other meeting was scheduled at
Burns Saturday.
Pope and Talbot Next
The Northwest lumber strike
will spread to Pope and Talbot,
Inc., plants at Westfir, Tacoma
and Kalama, Wash., according to
IWA regional president Harvey
Nelson.
Strikes against those two firms
would idle about 2,000 men, bring
ing the number out of work in
the Northwest lumber contract
dispute to more than 27,000.
Meanwhile, union negotiators
met in Portland with ofticials of
the Timber Operators Council of
which both Hines and Pope and
Talbot are members. Federal me
diators LeRoy Smith and George
Walker were scheduled to take
part.
Another meeting, this one be
tween the IWA and Scott Paper
Co. Wednesday was recessed un

reported some progress but would
not go into details. The IWA rep

spected it with emergency needs
in mind.
Mrs. Kennedy still plans, you
said, to return here and have her
third child at the Walter Reed
Army Hospital.
The remodeling of -the hospital
suite, including soundproofing for
the rooms, was described by the
Air Force as part of a $1.2 mil
lion renovation program for the
entire 500-bed hospital.
Somehow the suite fell into the
renovation schedule after the first
lady's physicians, obstetrician
John W. Walsh and White House
Dr. Janet Travell, dropped by for
their look at the rooms.

SALEM i UPl) Opponents of
the ballot title which has been pre
pared for the proposed referen
dum on the legislature's tax bill
had until 5 p-ra. today to hie an
objection with the supreme court.
An appeal of the ballot title
could delay the circulation of pe-1
titions needed to bring the new
tax plan to a vote in October. To
get -the tax bill on the ballot,
signatures of more than 23,000 vo
ters must be on petitions by Sept.
1.
No appeal of the title prepared
by Atty. Gen. Robert Y, Thorn
ton had been filed with the Su
preme Court this morning, but one
was expected before the dead
line. The bill is designed to raise
an additional $60 million.
The fight to get the new law
referred to the people is being
led by J. Francyl Howard, Al
bany newspaper publisher. -
Howard was stricken with a
heart attack recently and now is
recuperating on the Oregon coast
He is delaying printing of the pe

Tlve chairmen of the House and
Senate commerce committees had
asked for the delay to give Con
gress time to act on President
Kennedy's plan to turn over to
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion (ICC) the long-smouldcring
work rules dispute.
The deadline for putting the
new work -rules into elfect had
been 12:01 a.m. Tuesday. Several
railroads already had posted no
tices informing their employes of
the scheduled changes.
Rail unions said the imposition
of the rules, abolishing thousands
of jobs, would signal the start of
a nationwide strike.
Loomis said: "In response to
the requests of the chairmen of
the House and Senate committees
and in order to cooperate with
the Congress of the United States,
the American railroads have
agreed to a 30-day extension to
12:01 a.m. Aug. 29, 1963."
Rep. Oren Harris, D-Ark.,
chairman of the House Commerce
Committee, praised the rail
roads' decision and said it was
one which was made "in the en
tire public interest of the United
States.
"On Jiehalf of. the committee
and the Congress, I want to ex
press our sincere thanks for the
consideration given by you and
your industry," he told Loomis.
Harris said the 30-day postpone

to Congress to lake whatever ac

"a better way to legislate."

Powers Initial Partial Nuclear
MOSCOW (UPl i The United
States, Britain and the Soviet
Union today initialed a partial
nuclear test ban treaty.
The action dramatically set the
stage for a possible breakthrough
on a wide range of cold war
problems.
Initialing of the treaty was the
first formal, substantial agree
ment between East and West
since the Austrian pact was
signed eight years ago.
The nuclear treaty was Ini
tialed at Spiridonovka Palace by
W. Avercll Hamman for the
United Stales, Lord Hailsham for
Britain, and Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko for the Soviet
Union.
It places a ban on tests in the
atmosphere, in outer space and
under water, but it docs not ban
underground nuclear experi
ments.
The treaty, which still must be
approved by the U.S. Senate and
the British Parliament, was
agreed upon after five frustrating
years of sometimes bitter nuclear
negotiations.
Better Future Possible

The contrary is true. The Iron
Curtain in Berlin is tighter than
ever before.
"In Budapest there is a little

"In Latin America now we
have the greatest danger from

ready has given both Western
and Communist observers here a
surge of optimism about the fu
ture course of East-West rela
tions. There is talk of a possible sum
mit meeting shortly in Geneva
where Berlin and Germany would
be discussed. The question of
Berlin stands as one of the focal
points of East-West friction.
The present treaty does not in
clude a provision for banning un
derground nuclear tests because
of the Soviet refusal to accept
what the West considers adequate
inspection to prevent cheating.
The West demands at least seven
annual on-site inspections, while
the Russians earlier this year
said they would not go beyond
two or three.
The treaty broke a five year
deadlock between East and West
over halting atomic tcsls.
The initialing was done by Grn
myko. Harriman and Lord Hail

admitted to the conference room
only after it had taken place.
The treaty was initialed in trip

errors" of the United States, one

to the Berlin wall in 1961.
