COUP. GEN.REF.AHI) DOCUIEBTS DIV. iser EUaJiE,ORCO u.or oRS.LiB.unr MSiSPAPER SECTIOM Lum n fcfe i mm iAlSDS In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: The United States took steps yesterday to RETALIATE against the European Common .Market for its sharp increase last year in tariffs on U.S. poultry products. The European Common Market, ceftposed of France, West Ger many, Italy, Belgium, The Neth erlands and Luxembourg, raised its tariffs on our poultry products irom 4.9 cents per pound to 13.43 cents. That's quite a bounce. The re sult of it, according to Christian Hcrtcr, chief U.S. trade negotia tor, has been an unreasonable restriction on U.S. poultry. He estimates the loss to our poultry producers at $46 million a year. So- He says Something will have to be done about it. What to do? Well, Mr. Herter says, the U.S. has no choice but to retaliate. So he has picked out a list of our imports from the Common Mar ket countries, and on the items in the list we will RAISE OUR TARIFFS on the principle of tit for tat. The items? One of them is wine. Last year, Mr. Herter says, we Imported from the Common Mar ket countries wine worth $22.4 million, and brandy worth $12.1 million. Other imported items were trucks and buses worth $14.8 million, film except motion pic tures worth $13.6 million, and a wide range of miscellaneous items such as gelatin, theobro mine, dextrine, potato starch, cig arette papers, stainless steel cloth, scissors and shoes, Roque fort cheese and electric razors. Our Mr. Herter estimates the loss to American poultrymen from the higher Common Mar ket tariffs at $46 million a year. He estimates that the retaliation tariffs that he proposes will cost Common Market exporters to the United Slates the tidy sum of $111.5 million, i Hmmmmmmmmmmm. It's at least interesting to learn that there's ONE American who believes that when we do some-1 thing we ought to do it in a way to SHOW A PROFIT. In recent years, it has seemed to a lot of us, too many Ameri cans in high office have tended to look upon a profit as some thing SINFUL. First Lady Gives Birth To Premature Tiny Son 10T1S AFB, Mass. (UPP-Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy, wife of the President, gave birth today to a 4-pound, 10's-ounce son at t h e Otis Air Force Base Hospital. The baby, five and one-half weeks premature, was born at 10:15 a.m. PDT while the Presi-, dent was en route from Washing ton by jet. Presidential news secretary Pierre Salinger reported that thei baby's condition was "good" but that he was placed in an oxygen ten1.. He also reported that Mrs. Kennedy was in good condition. The child was th3 third born to President and Mrs. Kennedy and their second son. Salinger reported that Mrs. Ken-' nedy went from the Kennedy's rented summer home to a stable area owned by the Kennedy fam ily near Osterville this morn ing. However, she returned home immediately and Dr. John W Walsh, a Washington obstetrician who has been staying in the area, was notified while she was still en route home. The baby was born by Caesa- rean section as were the other two children. Walsh was at the Kennedy house on Squaw Island off Cape Cod when Mrs. Kennedy arrived. He decided immediately that she shouid go to the Otis Air Force Base Hospital. Mrs. Kennedy left the house by helicopter, accompanied by Walsh, for the trip to the hospi tal. She was taken to the sur-i eery ward immediately. The President, still at the White House, was notified by telephone that his wife had gone to the hos pital. He left the White House within minutes by helicopter fori Andrews Air Force Base and the let flight to Cape Cod. Sine the President's regular plane was undergoing mainte nance work, he made the trip of about one hour in an eight-pas senger jet Star.

Investigations into National Guard financial operations follow ing the death of Adj. Gen. Alfred Hintz last year led to the dis covery of the misappropriations. Report of the irregularities in the National Guard accounts was made to the Oregon Legislature this year by Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. The action against the bonding companies was a result of the find:ngs of Appling's auditors. The first claim was for $2,470 and was filed against an insur ance company which held a so called "position bond" over Na tional Guard staff elficers author ized to draw checks and claims on state funds, Asst. Atty. Gen Peter Herman said. Herman said the bonding com pany was being asked to replace $2,470 drawn in false claims for rations in order to provide liquor and other goods for official parties at Camp Clatsop (now Camp Rileal in 1957. 1958 and 1959 The claim filed with the bonding firm said the money apparently was drawn by one or more of our or five high-ranking officers covered by the bond but that it has not been determined which one drew the money. An auditor's statement filed with the claim quoted one officer as saying the false draft in 1959 was ordered by Hintz. A'ty. Gen. Robert Thornton said the state could claim up to So.OOO on the personal bond of Hintz and $5,000 on the blanket policy against the others. tal, the baby already had been delivered 25 minutes earlier. Awaiting the President was his sister, Mrs. Stephen Smith, at the hospital. Assisting Walsh, who also was the obstetrician when John Jr. w as born Nov. 25, 1960, were Col. Paul H. Stavig, Sioux Falls, S.D., Maj. Frank Mahon, Panama, Okla., the anesthetist; Capt. Wil liam Jablonski, Boston, and Maj. Leonard Cobb, Longview, 111, The circumstances were almost a parallel to the birth of John Jr. In that instance, Kennedy, the president-elect, was en route to Palm" Beach, Fla., on a Thanks giving evening. He landed at Palm Beach to be informed that Mrs. Kennedy was taken to the hospital. The President learned in the air on his way back to the capi tal that he was the father of a fine looking, healthy boy, born prematurely. Washington Birth Planned Mrs. Kennedy had been expect ed to give birth to her third child on a set date at Walter need Army Medical Center in Washing ton. The idea was to insure more security and more privacy for the First Lady. She has been vacationing since July 3, however, at a leased sum mer home on Squaw Island near the Kennedy compound at Hyan- nis. Her two children, Caroline. nearly 6, and John Jr.. have been with her and she has devoted most of her time to taking them to parks and beaches. Mrs. Kennedy will be the first President's wife in 70 years to give blrtb to a baby. The last White House baby was born on Sept. 9, 1893, to Grover Cleveland. Mrs. Kennedy has had a history of hardships in pregnancies and premature births. Before t h e birth of Caroline in a New York hospital, (he had previously suf fered a miscarriage and a s t i 1 1 birth.

(See story on page 4-A.I Anderson Studio Photo Rusk Sees Great For Atomic Test Ban Pact MOSCOW (UPP Secrelary of, State Dean Rusk predicted today on measures against surprise at the nuclear test ban treaty he tack with a non-aggression pact signed with Britain and the So viet Union Monday would receive great support m the United States. Rusk saw off a senatorial dele gation and then flew to Leningrad for a day's break between hisj talks on further cold war issues with Soviet officials. The senators, here for the signing, were return ing to Washington. The senators were equally en thusiastic about the partial lest ban treaty, the first control meas ure agreed upon between East and West since the start of the nuclear age 18 years ago. They said U.S. interests were "well protected" by the pact. Democratic Sens. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota and John Sparkman of Alabama, predicted President Kennedy would get 80i of the Senate's 100 votes for the treaty far more than the two-l thiras majority needed for ratifi cation. To Appear Before Senate Rusk told newsmen before leav ing for Leningrad that he is look ing forward to the Senate hear ings on the treaty next week. He is scheduled to appear to explain the agreement to ban nuclear tests in the air, outer space, and un der water. "The hearings will, 1 am sure clarify doubts in various quarters Rusk said. "It will merit and re ceive great support." Rusk will return Thursday and then go on to Premier Nikita S Khrushchev's Black Sea villa to continue his discussions of cold war issues. Diplomatic sources said the break would enable him to file a full report on his session Tuesday with Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and receive in structions from President Kenne dy for his meeting with Khrush chev. U.S. officials said Tuesday's talks were "very good and busi nesslike." but they stressed that both sides held firmly to their positions. Ways To Ease Tension The talks are aimed at finding possible areas of agreement be tween East and West on measures to ease international tension now that accord has been' reached on a partial nuclear test ban. Informed sources said the talks thus far have indicated that mea sures to prevent surprise attack afford the best hope of agreement One of these measures, brought up by Khrushchev in a speech last month, calls for stationing troop inspectors on foreign terri tory to guard against military buildups. The West has shown in terest in this, the sources said But there were indications the KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON. , ;i MjM J&-iMm& Kremlin wants to Ink agreement between NATO and the Commu nist Warsaw treaty alliance, Giving Pact Thought It was understood that Rusk and British Foreign Secretary Lord Home, who continued the talks with Gromyko today, were giving the non-aggression pact respect able consideration despite the misgivings of NATO partners France and West Germany. Diplomatic sources said, how-i Invaders Push Haiti Drive On Two Fronts SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican, Republic (UPP Invading Haitian exiles pushed a two-pronged drive into the northern sector of Haiti today picking up support along the way from army deserters and peasants, an invasion spokesman said here. Paul Vernas, general coordina tor of the Haitian National Demo cratic Union (UDN) backing the invasion, said the rebels "have cut off the northern department" of Haiti from the rest of the coun try in their drive to topple the autocratic regime of President F.-ancois Duvalier. There were indications one o( the invading columns might be attempting to reach the western Tax Petitions Circulating SALEM I UPP First petitions seeking referral of the income tax bill passed by the recent leg islature are now in circulation. Albany Publisher Francyl Howard said today. He reported the first petition with 20 names had been complet ed and that the Linn County clerk had found 18 of them valid. Howard's organization which is spearheading the referral move ment, must get 23,185 valid sig natures in the secrelary of slate's office by Sept. 1 if the measure is to be put up for statew ide vole Oct. 15. The bill which revises the slate income tax law to raise an addi tional tfiO million will become law Sept, 1 unless the necessary referral petition signatures are obtained. Howard said the short lime left will be the big factor in whether hii referral elfort is successful. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7. 1983 1 iMUM Sunoort ever, that Rusk and Home were stressing that the Allies must have guarantees of Western free dom of access to West Berlin be fore such a non-agjression agree ment can be reached. Diplomats called the Berlin and Germany questions the "guts is sues" in any further talks with the Soviets. They said satisfactory progress would be needed on these issues in order to win Wrst Germany's, and possibly Fiance's, consent toj a non-aggression treaty. coastal city of Gonaives. he said. lhe other column was appar ently encircling the area round Cap Haitien, Haiti's key northern port and second city, in a prelude to besieging the city, Vernas said. No Casualty Reports He said there were no reports of casualties but the rebels met some resistance" around Fort Li berie, the northern Haitian port near the scene of the Monday morning invasion. The invaders reportedly cap tured Fort Liberie and the near by towns of Derac and Trou in the first day of the invasion, but; this has not been confirmed. The former Haitian diplomat said "all indications" are that the attack is moving ahead success fully and encountering little mili tary resistance. He said "about 300" men were in the original invasion force and he guessed that their number swelled by Haitian army deserters' nd friendly peasants, may be about 500. Staging Area Mystery The staging area for the inva sion remained a mystery. Vernas claimed Tuesday the attack was launched from an island some where in the Caribbean, but Hai tian officials have charged it came across the border from the Dominican Reoublir. which shares the island of Hispaniola with Hai ti. The rcbeln are led by Gen. Leonl Canlave. 52, exiled former chief of the Haitian armed forces. His top aides are reported to include exile political leader Pierre Ri gaud and former army Col. Rene Leon. The Dominican government has issued no formal statement about the invasion hut President Juan Bosch was reliably reported to have met with top military offi cials and cabinet members Tues day for a conference in which the Haitian situation was dis cussed. Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 7514 2-District Plan Present KUHS Boundary Will Be Dividing Line In a surprise move Tuesday night the Klamath County School District and Klamath Union High School boards of directors joined hands and agreed they would both submit maps to the county court with the county divided into two separate school districts with the present KU boundary as the dividing line. This plan; with anv minor changes necessary, would divide the county essentially into metro and rural school districts with equalization automatically built in by the application of the rural school law. The members of the elementary school board would not go along w ith tins plan because they feared gross inequities if the rural school law is ever abandoned by the slate legislature. It would seem that the reor ganization decision now rests with the county court, which, acting as boundary board, could cither implement a plan on its own ini tiative or turn it over to the will of the voters. Maps showing the boundary preferences of the three school boards are to be submit ted to the court no later than Aug. 9. In a statement addressed to the court, the elementary board explained it favors a reorganiza tion plan which would "extend the elementary school district boundaries to include Fairhaven School and attendance area fol lowing the present KUHS boun Police Seek Death Clues PORTLAND (UPP Police pressed an investigation today in to the death of Mrs. Irene E. Davis, 41, an attractive Idaho cat tle heiress whose body was found in a partly-filled bathtub at the Hilton Hotel Tuesday. A nylon stocking was twisted about her neck. She was wearing a black half slip. The coroner's office, awaiting final results of an autopsy, tenta tively listed cause of death as strangulation and asphyxiation. Police said she apparently hod been strangled. There were other signs of a disturbance in the hotel suite. The body was discovered by a maid Tuesday morning. Mrs. Da vis was last seen alive about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday leaving a hotel rooftop restaurant and bar. Em ployes said she was accompanied by three men as she stepped to ward the elevator. Mrs. Davis was the daughter of the late Eastern Oregon and Ida ho cattleman Gus Davis. Several travelers' checks were in the room, along with other items including receipts of several purchases made in Eastern Ore gon and Idaho amounting to sev eral thousand dollars, police said. Mrs. Davis arrived from Pay ette Sunday afternoon. A brother-in-bw. Robert Rose, in Payette, said the woman had apparantly come to Portland for a few days vacation. Fire Crews Mopping Up A small crew of firefighters is continuing mop-up operations! today on the Tucker's Cabin for est fire 15 miles southwest 01 Klamath Falls. George Waidcll of Klamath Forest Protective Association said about 25 men remained at the fire scene today, and the crew will be reduced to 22 or 23 men tomor row. This crew will remain on lhe fire for about two weeks to make sure it docsn t flars up again. About five of the men v remain overnight at the site to maintain a watch.

"However," the board slated, "in view of the necessity or ar bitrating the boundary line in or der to arrive at some mutual boundary to reorganize ... it is the opinion of our school board that the boundary line could be extended along South Sixth Street to Gary Street and then northerly along Gary Street until it inter cepts the present elementary dis trict boundary line. We feci this is as far out as the boundary can be extended, considering the enrollment in Fremont Junior High School and the assessed valuation involved." "In a metro-rural school dis trict arrangement the new metro school district with all the subur ban area wuuld not have enough assessed valuation to protect it if the rural school law is repealed.

The board believes this division will provide the best long range educational plan obtainable for the city, suburban and county chil dren.

Nelson predicted that the Na tional Labor Relations Board would file complaints against the Big Six within the next 10 days for their illegal shutdown." The unions filed unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB against the employers' bargaining association because of the lockout. Hartley said that unfair labor practice charges were being pre pared against the Timber Opera tors Council, a 196-member em ployers' bargaining association.

About 250 members of the LSW struck the Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Co. after the firm posted notices it was putting into effect the wage offer made by the TOC. A union spokes man in Seattle said other tirms in the area also would be idled if they followed the TOC's advice.
