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.

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.

Football Injury Leads
To Suit Against Henley
Henley High School has been
named the defendant in a quar

which has been filed by the lo
cal law firm of Goakey and
Engelgau in behalf of James Sel

injuries during a football scrim

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." The complaint states that
the defendant was negligent on
three counts and is therefore

Barghoorn arrived in London

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. The use of large panels of glass (rearl give an open
air effect. In the center photo are two of the men largely responsible
for the construction of the new school. 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.

the five years since the Soviet

that many of the world's trou

Of Flames
SAN FRANCISCO i (UPD
Little Cathryn Reeves' seven
week fight for life ended Friday
night in an isolation ward at
San Francisco General Hospital.
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.

for a Tuesday adjournment of
tlie special session of the legis

which could take weeks.
Rep. Kessler Cannon, R-Bend,

referendum was only one Sen

But it was indicated Satur
day a Senate fight may be
brewing on the measure to al

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.

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.
