Under the pro-rate system, the commission will pay the full drug billings if they do not exceed the budget allotment, but pro-rated reductions will be made arbitrarily in tlie future when drug billings exceed the amount budgeted. Also over budget by $74,359 for the past three months are old age assistance medical pay ments. "We may be headed for trouble. Frankly we are going to have to watch this," Welfare Administrator Andrew Juras said. In addition, Juras noted nurs ing home costs were "steadily increasing," and were $71,681 over budget for the past three months. Juras warned serious budget problems could result in t h e nursing home budgets if state hospitals, as a r e s u 1 1 of cut backs, began transferring in mates to nursing homes. Juras said increased migra tions of people from California were increasing the general as sistance costs. The commission voted to put austerity program cuts totaling $4.5 million into effect Nov. 1. Of this amount, $1.8 million is from the state's general fund, and the rest matching funds about $2 million from the fed eral government, and $612,000 from counties. Cuts outlined under the austerity program eliminate 54 now vacant positions,' and force a delay in filling nine others. Other major cutbacks: Five per cent reduction in services and supplies. Eliminate $5 increase in nursing home rates. Eliminate 10 per cent in crease in .physicians allotment, and four per cent increase in hospital allotment. Reduce personal incidental and clothing allowances to per sons in nursing homes and homes for the aged by about 25 per cent. Reduce funeral and burial allowances by 10 per cent. Restrict medical aid to the aged enrollments to 7.500. mals sent to slaughter are not being reported back in sufficient numbers to insure re-accreditation, and unless some action is taken another round of testing may be in prospect.

Shipping Costs Stall Wheat Deal WASHINGTON (UPI I The buyers are ready and the sell ers are willing in the $250 mil lion U.S.-Soviet wheat deal. But the knotty problem of how much to charge to get the grain from one to the other stalled the sale. Two Russian delegations were Reds Quit Moon Race MOSCOW ( UPI i Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, in a state ment published Saturday, de clared the Soviet Union is with drawing from the race with the United States to put a man on the moon first by 1970. The premier announced "at the present time we do not plan flights of cosmonauts to the moon." "I have read a report thai the Americans wish to land a man on the moon by 1970. Well let's wish them success. "And we will see how they will fly there, and how they will land there or to be more cor rect "moon" there. "And most important how they will get up and come back. "We w ill take their experience into account. "We do not wish to compete in sending people to the moon without thorough preparation. "lt is obvious there would be no benefit from such competi tion.

It was believed formal talks would begin Monday. While the administration dick ered with U.S. shippers, the Agriculture Department at tempted to head off any up surge in bread prices to the na tion's consumers. The department, in a memo randum, stated flatly that re cent wheat and flour price in creases would not justify any increase in bread prices. II said flour prices for the year probably would average below l!Ki2. The memo, prepared for Sec o Controversy Over Nov. 11 Date Surprises Governor PORTLAND (UPlt Gov. Mark Hatfield, returning from speaking engagements in Arizona and California, said Fri day he was surprised at criti cism of opening Oregon's special legislative session 0 n Veteran's Day, Nov. 11. "There wasn't any vacation taken on the battlefront," h e remarked at Portland Interna tional Airport after arriving from San Francisco. Hatfield said he expects a 5 to 10 day legislative session, based on discussions with the presiding officers of the two legislative bodies. "If the legislators restrict themselves to the single issue of carrying out the people's will as expressed in the tax referen dum, there is no reason why they can't complete tle session in that time." lie remarked.

Freeman by members of his staff, said bak ers might use the increase in wheat prices to hike bread prices, but that this would be unwarranted. "Neither the price of wheat nor the prospective sales to Russia can be cited as the rea son. Bread prices did not de cline this summer when flour prices fell; there is no basis in slightly higher flour prices for higher bread prices now or lat er this year." Despite President Kennedy's announced approval Oct. 9, the transaction remained stalled on the issue of U.S. shipping charges. The President made it a condition of the sale that the purchased wheat be shipped to Russia in American vessels whenever available. In San Francisco Friday the governor told the Common wealth Club he believes former vice president Richard A. Nix on is an "aotive" candidate for tlie presidential nomination in 14. "Nixon is on the track and running fast," Hatfield said He said lie believes the I960 Republican standard bearer's name will be entered in t h e New Hampshire primary next spring.
