The Senate voted 19-10 to In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS In New York on Friday, President Kennedy told the AFL - CIO national convention that the nation's need (or jobs and economic security is the nation's No. I issue and con tended that prompt passage of the administration's tax cut bill is the best single remedy. He strongly implied through out his speech that he feels no other bill even including the controversial civil rights meas ure which he has previously rat ed as of equal priority with tax reform is as vital to the na tional welfare. What he means is that cutting taxes would leave more money in people's pockets for the peo ple to spend, and if the people spend more money business will be better. Well, of course that would be (rue temporarily. If taxes were reduced and government spend ing was held to the present lev el, it might be possible to keep enough money in the people's pockets to enable them to SPEND MORE, thus expanding the economy. But- lf taxes are reduced and gov ernment spending is IN CREASED, the result will be to force taxes higher because as spending is increased taxes will have to be increased in order to obtain the money for interest on the growing national debt. Interest on the national debt is already the No. 2 item in the federal budget' exceeded only by national defense. Only two and a half decades ago in 1940-the TOTAL COST of the federal government was somewhat less than the present bill for interest on the national debt. That's what comes of spend ing persistently, year after year, more money than is taken in and putting the difference on the cuff. ' Question: IS our economy shaky? Well, if it is, we have com pany. A copyrighted dispatch in the Wall Street Journal on Friday says: "The Soviet Union's shortage of grain has brought on a pre dicament that is turning Rus sians red in the face. They are being forced to seek U.S. alco hol TO REPLENISH THEIR DWINDLING SUPPLIES OF VODKA!" It's a weird world we're liv ing in. That also could hardly be called sound economics. Perhaps it is even LESS SOUND than our proposal in volved in the bill the President says is vitally necessary to tlie nation's welfare to spend more, tax less and nut the differ ence on the cuff. Historical note: Thirty years ago yesterday i November 16, 1933 1 President Roosevelt recognized the com munist government led by Jo seph Stalin and expressed the hope that the two countries ould grow closer and more in timate with each other with each passing year. Stalin's foreign minister, Max im Litvinov, called the devel opment "a creative factor in in ternational affairs which will be beneficial to mankind." Hmmmmmmmm. Something seems to have (lipped. table the bill on first reading. The vote to kill the measure without ever sending it to com mittee was a rare one. A majority of the senators had promised earlier to kill any "new taxes." The House passed the measure 36-23 Friday. If it had cleared the Senate and won voter ap proval, it would have raised about $10 million during the last 11 months of the 1963-65 bi ennium. The measure passed the House on a mixed party vote. Its supporters said Oregon' is desperate for revenues after the voters rejected a $( million tax package in October. They said the special session of the legislature should not only take stop-gap measures, but also seek a new source of revenue that is acceptable to the people, both for this bienni um and the future. Opponents replied that the people do not want any new taxes from this special session. Demos Axe Salary Cuf Measures SALEM 1,UPI) .-.The House, suspended its rules Saturday to permit the introduction of an other salary-cutting bill. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Jake Bennett, D-Portland, would affect the pay of legisla tors, elected officials, and state employes earning over $8,000. The House rejected an at tempt by Bennett to introduce a "Little Liberty Amendment" asking Congress to exempt all earnings under $10,000 from the income tax. The fate of the Bennett salary trimming bill appeared uncer tain, since Democrats on both sides of the legislature slapped down salary-cutting efforts Fri day. Seventeen of the 20 Senate Democrats voted in caucus to stop any pay reductions if they reach the Senate. Fifteen votes would be enough. On the other side of the Cap itol, the House voted 33-26 against pulling a bill to cut legislators' salaries from com mittee to the house floor for ac tion. The votes that left the bill in committee were nearly all Democratic. The 17 Senate Democrats ex plained their decision this way: Oregon's austerity program means more hard work for em ployes that remain on the state's payrolls. "We cannot remove the basic stimulus for hard work fair pay," they said. CHILOQUIN HIGH DEDICATED The new Chiloquin High School was dedicated Friday night in ceremonies held in the high school gymnasium.

UPI Telephoto Football Injury Leads To Suit Against Henley Henley High School has been named the defendant in a quar ter of a million dollar lawsuit which has been filed by the lo cal law firm of Goakey and Engelgau in behalf of James Sel kregg Jr., who sustained back injuries during a football scrim mage at the high school during August, 1962. The lawsuit was filed in the office of the county clerk, 4:30 p.m., Thursday, and names as defendant County School Dis trict No. 36H. The superintend ent's office of county schools disclosed Friday that the dis trict is comprised wholly of Henley High School. The suit charges that the plaintiff sustained a severe in jury of the spinal cord while engaged in football practice at the high school. It cites fur ther that as result of the in jury "the plaintiff has suf fered a severe limitation of the motor control of his extremi ties and bodily functions and is severely and permanently dis abled."

Barghoorn arrived in London damages. It charges first, that the defendant failed to provide adequate supervision during the football practice; second, that it permitted the plaintiff to en gage in violent body contact without having properly condi tioned him, and third, that it did not properly instruct the youth "on the methods and manners of playing football." Chiloquin By DAN WALTERS CHILOQUIN-"I congratulate you on your determination to provide the young people who attend this school with the op portunity to pursue excellence." University of Oregon Presi dent Dr. Arthur Flemming ad dressed these words to more than 250 persons Friday night as he dedicated tlie new Chilo quin High School. Expounding on the theme "The Pursuit of Excellance," Dr. Flemming told the crowd gathered in the bright, modern gymnasium of the new school that American education today has awakened to the pursuit of in the buildinq.

They are Don McGee I left I, former chairman of the Klamath County School Board, and Al Sam ples, former Chiloquin principal. McGee presented Samples with KLAMATH FALLS, OltEGOX, a few hours later on a British European Airways Comet jet and wias met by U.S. Embassy officials jubilant over tlie major Soviet reversal believed to have been ordered personally by Pre mier Nikita S. Khrushchev. He refused to say anything to reporters, telling a U. S. Embassy representative, "I don't want to talk about it." Khrushchev apparently acted (o counteract tlie furor raised in the United Slates which had threatened to compromise Khrushchev's drive to ease East-West tension. It was clear that Soviet officialdom had far underestimated the impact on U.S. public opinion of Barg hoorn' s arrest. The Soviet Tass news agency in an announcement broadcast by Moscow radio and television insisted to the last Uiat Barg hoorn was guilty. Soviet Foreign Minister An drei Gromyko. who called in acting Charge d'Affaires Walter J. Stocssel to a noon conference in the skyscraper Foreign Min istry, said Russia was acting because of the statements made at Thursday's press conference by President Kennedy. Kennedy called Barghoorn in nocent and his arrest unwar ranted, and unjustified. He also postponed start of talks on a U. S. - Soviet cultural relations exchange. Barghoorn had been held in communicado from his arrest tlie night of Oct. 31 until the Russians released him Saturday and placed him on the London bound plane. A spokesman at London air port said Barghoorn was "in good health." The Soviet move apparently came after considerable inner Kremlin deliberations because several interventions by tlie American Embassy in Moscow met with no response.

Flemming told his audience that many of the world's trou bles can be laid at the door of inadequate education. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17. 13 I ...

UPI Telephoto Kennedy Watches Polaris In Action CAPK CANAVERAL (UPD President Kennedy watclied the underwater firing of a Po laris missile for the first time Saturday in a spectacular wind up of a whirlwind visit to America's No, 1 spaceport.

"There is a determination to pursue excellance in tlie field of education," he said.

The 8-ycar-oId crippled polio victim, who had told .police she was set afire by two boys, died of pneumonia indirectly caused by third degree burns over 45 per cent of her body. "We did our best," a doctor said. "It was touch and go right from the start." With Cathryn's death, the homicide bureau took over the case from the juvenile division. But officers indicated it was not likely that anyone would be formally blamed. The Injured child had told police that two boys in her special ungraded class at Visi tacion Valley School threw a flaming book of matches at her. She said they teased her be cause of braces she wore on her legs. Because' of the braces, Cathryn was unable to run for help as flames enveloped her summery green and white flowered dress. . A neighbor woman finally extinguished the flames. The boyB denied throwing tlie matches, saying she lit them herself. Inspector Earl O'Brien said there was no way of knowing at this time what had happened. Fund Cuts, Boardman Slow Pace SALEM (UPIt-The Board man crisis, and an expected Senate tight over basic school cuts could dash leaders' hopes for a Tuesday adjournment of tlie special session of the legis lature. And a special bill being rushed through to set dollar amount cuts in the capital con struction program could open tlie whole allotment procedure to legislative review a process which could take weeks. Rep. Kessler Cannon, R-Bend, asked Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton for an opinion on the legality of tlie allotment proce dure. The emergency .program asked by Gov. Mark Hatfield to dear with the fiscal crisis re sulting from the Oct 15 tax referendum was only one Sen ale vote away from approval. But it was indicated Satur day a Senate fight may be brewing on the measure to al low tlie governor to make the cuts in state aid to local school districts. In a surprise 15-14 vote Sat urday, the upper house refused to suspend rules and vote on the basic school bill. Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Port-land, said action was delayed because "there's lots of opposi tion to the measure in the Sen ate." Both tiie Senate and House have approved a speedup of tax Tpp Priority SALEM (VP!) The State Rpard of Higher Education has advised the legislature that its top priority building projects are at Portland, Klamath Falls and Mon mouth. The board approved a reso lution reaffirming priorities for a science building at Portland State College, fur nishings and roads &r the new Oregon Technical Insti tute campus at Klamath P'alls, and replacement of -Campbell Hall at Oregon Col lege of Education at Mon mouth. collections to bring in an addi tional $12 million this bicnnl um. Tlie basic school measure, and the tax collection bill were the only legislation asked by Hatfield when he called the special session. But Friday it waa learned the governor did not have the con stitutional right to eliminate the capital construction pro gram, so a special bill doing so was introduced. 1, .. - rAM il.H M- of legislators who have charged the legislature was abdicating its authority to let Hatfield make the cuts. While legislative leaders hoped the measure would zip through, there was the possibil ity that debate on the bill could siread to the entire allotment procedure. Many Republicans and a few Democrats feel the legislature should make all the cuts, rather than have Hatfield do it. Tlie Boardman issue re mained a question mark. The emergency bill asked by Hat field to clear a legal cloud that threatens Boeing's lease of the Boardman site still rests in the Ways and Means Committee. The fact that the state will have to pungle up another $522, 000 to complete the deal isn't being well received by lawmak ers who came to Salem to trim budgets and eliminate construc tion projects. The first six days of the spe cial session were a study in contrasts. Many lawmakers had no committee assignments, and had nothing to do except for the few minutes each day the houses were in session. But those with committee assign ments were working 8-12 hours a day in an effort to find solu tions to the fiscal crisis. it was a disastrous week for Hatfield. Two of his vetoes were overthrown, and the Boardman project blew up. Democrats seemed to be rid ing high, having so far been able to confine tlie session to the fiscal crisis.
