In The- Day s lews t- By FRANK JENKINS From New York this morn ing: General Lucius D. Clay, spe cial Presidential adviser on Berlin, disagrees sharply with an assertion by former Presi dent Eisenhower that MOST ot our troops could gradually be withdrawn from Western Eur ope. At ldlewild Airport 'he was returning from a hunting trip in Spain I General Clay told re porters: "I don't know what he means by gradually. You have to rea lize that the purpose of the troops on the ground is to dis courage foolish acts by aggres sors. "I would think that the last thing to withdraw would be our fighting ground troops. A n jo ining done hastily would have a terrifically bad effect on o u r European allies." Hmmmmmmmmmmm. What did Ike say that so ruf fles the feathers of President Kennedy's adviser on the Ber lin situation? . Well, back in October, he sug gested that the United Stales should pull five of its six divi sions out of Western Europe. The situation, he said, has changed since 1951, when he was sent to command NATO and asked for a strengthening of U.S. forces. He added: "Western European econo mies are now strong. They have great balances, many of them in gold, and it is time they were DOING MORE OF THEIR OWN WORK." Personally, this writer agrees u'ifh r.jvnor.il Eisenhower. At the end of the war, it was quite reasonable that we should leave large military forces in Western Europe. Our allies were bled weak. We were still STRONG. But the situation has changed. Western Europe has recovered from the strains of the war. Its economies are sound. Its industries are boom ing. Its population is GREAT ER THAN OURS. But we still furnish the bulk of the defensive strength of Western Europe. We have six divisions in West Germany, w hich is tw ice as many as any other NATO member. And back of our six divisions is our whole vast nuclear striking force, which is ready to go into action et a moment's notice. We still carry the bulk of the 1d of the defense of Western (Europe. The cost of doing so is so great that it is upsetting our balance of payments and thus is weakening our moneta ry system. Questions: What do YOL' think of it? Do vou agree with General Clay? ' Or do you agree with General Gals Rob Man Of Cash, Pride DETROIT 'UPI' An Ohio man told police Monday he was hailed by two women in a car as he was walking down a street, taken to an alley, beaten and robbed of $1". Leonard Short, 26. Celina. Ohio, told ollicers he was accosted after getting in the car with the women.

Kennedy Anti-Castro Coup . WASHINGTON I UPI I - Pres ident Kennedy all but invited the Cuban people today to over throw Fidel Castro's Communist regime and promised prompt U.S. aid if they do. Kennedy's encouragement of a Cuban coup was contained in Terrorists Run Wild In Caracas CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI) Terrorist snipers and sabo teurs went into action through out Caracas today as the pro Castro underground sought to enforce a call for a general strike against the government. A civilian was killed, two po licemen wounded and three cars burned in widely scattered sec tions of tlie cily It was busi ness as usual in mid-city, how ever, and only the slum areas appeared affected by strike ac tion. Short bursts of gunfire were heard in various parts of the city, including the El Guara taro sector where six persons were wounded by snipers firing on police patrols from hills flanking the area. In addition to fire bomb at tacks on two cars and a passen ger bus, terrorists sprayed tacks along the roads leading into mid-city. Clay Raps Ike's Stand NEW YORK (UPD-Gen. Lu cius D. Clay, special presiden tial adviser on Berlin, disagreed sharply Monday with an asser tion by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower that most U.S. troops could be withdrawn from Western Europe. - Clay said hasty withdrawal could have a damaging psycho logical and military effect on our allies. Eisenhower has suggested that five of the six U.S. combat ground divisions could be with drawn gradually. "I don't know what he means by gradually," Clay said at ldlewild Airport. "You have to realize that the purpose of the troops on the ground is to dis courage foolish acts by aggres sors." "I would think that live last thing to withdraw would be our fighting ground troops." said the retired general who was re turning from a hunting trip in Spain. "Anything done hastily would have a terrifically bad effect on our European allies, Clay said. Shooting Hours OREGON November 30 Open Close 6:M a.m. 1:45 p.m. CALIFORNIA Xovrmber 20 Open Clone t:K a.m. 4:41 p.m. Invites a major foreign policy speech before the Inter-American Press Association (IAP.V Monday night in Miami Beach. Fla. The President said it would be a happy day if the Castro government is ousted. His pledge and an offer to ex tend U.S. backing for any Latin American nation seeking aid to resist a Communist takeover at tempts climaxed a busy politics filled trip to Florida. The President drew several rounds of applause during his speech before more than 1,000 delegates to the Inter-American Press Association UAP.M con vention, but critical reaction of the hemisphere editors ap peared mixed. Some said it was an "impor tant" stand. Others called it "very weak" and "nothing new." "The American states must be .ready to come to. the aid of any government requesting aid to prevent a takeover linked to the policies of foreign commu nism rather than an internal de sire for change," Kennedy said. "My country is prepared to do this." Continue To Fight "If there is one principle that has run through the history of the hemisphere, it is our com mon determination to prevent the rule of foreign systems or nations in the Americas," Ken nedy told the editors. "We have ultimately won this battle against, every great power of the past. We will continue to wage and win it." Augustin Navarro, of Espejo in Mexico City, said tho Presi dent's remarks about blocking "another Cuba" did not go far enough. "... We must also rescue the Cuba that is now under Fidel Castro from com munism and not maintain the status quo." Navarro said. His sentiments were matched by many exiled Cuban news men and editors. Kennedy promised in his talk that the United States would gladly extend "the hand of friendship and assistance to Cuba if the Castro regime was removed from power." Romulo O'Farrill Jr., of the Mexico City newspaper Nove dades, called Kennedy's address "one of the most important speeches ever delivered by President Kennedy on hemis phere solidarity." O'Farrill is outgoing president of the IAPA. Ship Sends SOS Call MIAMI fb'PIi - An emer gency search was begun today for a ship carrying nine men that reported it was sinking in the dry tortugas 40 miles west of Key West, Fla. Tlie ship, the 130-foot motor vessel "Chief," sent out a dis tress call early today from a position off the Rebecca shoals. Coast Guard search planes which reached the scene short ly after the SOS was sent re ported finding no trace of the ship or survivors. The ship was bound for Mi ami, but its agents here re fused to give details of its busi ness, or the names of the men aboard. "Search planes and two cut ters arc checking the entire area on the possibility that the ship's last radio transmission gave us an erroneous position, the Coast Guard said. "But it could have tunk." Rubble For 16 ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UPI I A huge construction crane pushed aside the rubble of the Surfside Hotel today in a search for the remaining 16 victims of Monday's pie-dawn fire which killed 25 elderly guests. Police officials called rela tives of the victims to a meet ing this afternoon to inform them of what they have found in tlie rubble. They hoped the meeting would help relatives in identifying the bodies. Seven bodies and part of an eighth already have been re moved from the smouldering debris of the tragic fire and an other person died in a hospital from injuries. Det Capt. Albert Wilson, in charge of search operations, called off the hunt late Mondav night because the rubble of the Surfside Hotel, where the vic tims were trapped, was "too hot in the center, too smoky and it was too dark." A three-man FBI team has arrived here to help identify the bodies which may prove difficult if not impossible in some cases. Many Buildings Damaged The spreading fire, with flames that soared 200 feet, de stroyed four other hotels and damaged four additional guest houses which housed no resi. dents other than token main. tenance staffs. Milton Rauer, 48, the owner of tlie Surfside, six of his rela tives, eight guests and three employes made their way out Loma Linda Rezoning Okayed By Planners The City Planning Commis sion reported to the City Coun cil Monday night that it ap proves the rezoning of a sec lion of the Loma Linda area for multiple-family residences. The council directed tlie city attorney to draw up a resolu tion setting the date for a public hearing on the request by John Glubrecht for the zon ing change. Glubrecht said he intends to erect a number of single- and multiple-family residences on the property, located to t h e southeast of the present Loma Linda development overlook ing Klamath Falls. Councilman Chct Hamaker in dicated his present opposition to rezoning the area for mul tiple - family residences, but said he wants to hear the feel ings of other property owners in the area before making his final decision. City Attorney Henry Perkins indicated the public hearing on the request probably will be held in early January. In another zoning issue, the council set Dec. 2 for a liear ing on a request by the First Baptist Church for a condition al use permit for construction of a new church in the Sunny side Addition at the end of El dorado Avenue. The council awarded a con tract to Bennington Steel Com pany of Klamath Falls f o r construction of a 24-43-foot steel Lawmaker Offers SALEM iLPIi Rep. Beulah Hand, D-Milwaukie, suggested Monday the legislature should just appropriate the whole gen eral (und to the governor. It was a dramatically-simple solution to constitutional curbs on allowing Gov. Mark Hatfield to make selective cuts in state agency budgets. Mrs. Hand proposed shifting the unexpended funds in ail gen eral fund budgets into a special fund, which would be allocated to Hatfield. The governor then could re Probed Victims safely through the billowing smoke and flames shortly after tlie flames erupted about 4:30 m. i EST ). Fifty-six pieces of fire equip ment and more than 450 fire fighters including those from nearby communities battled the flames but for the most part all they could do was watch help lessly while the 60-year-old frame building was leveled. City Commissioner Meredilh Kerstetter, director of public safety in charge of police and fire operations, said Monday that the Surfside "was routine ly inspected in June and that it measured up to fire safety reg ulations. However the fire de partment will be alerted to con tinue a thorough investigation of all buildings." Chains Advised On Some Passes Motorists en route to Willam ette Pass, Crater Lake or tlie Green Springs Highway were advised to carry chains today in the face of a storm that was depositing from small to large quantities of snow throughout t h e mountainous areas of the county, the State Highway Department has re ported. The storm was greatest in se verity at Crater Lake, where storage building at Moore Park. Bennington's bid of $.1,552 was the lower of two submitted. The other was from a Portland firm. City Manager Robert Kyle said the city will build a foun dation for the building at a cost of about $400 and fencing and other work by the city will cost an additional $400. Councilmen approved a re quest by the Salvation Army for a permit for Christmas ket tles on downtown streets. The council also accepted a gift of several trees from Car ter's Market. Carter's said the trees are too large and are no longer decorative. It was in dicated that the trees will be moved to Kiwanis Park. The purchase of two new po lice cars was authorized by the council to replace a 1061 sedan and a 1962 sedan now in use by the police department. Councilmen received a letter from the Riverside School PTA requesting guard rails and hand rails on West Main Street for the protection of students and priority for West Main Street in snow and ice clear ance. Kyle said the street clearing priority is already in effect and indicated the construction of the guard and hand rails would be an expensive job. That re quest will be studied further. Councilmen heard the first (Continued on Page 4) lease money to state agencies along the lines of the austerity program he outlined to tlie spe cial session. In effect, this would give Hat field absolute control over the rest of the 1963-65 biennium budget subject only to suggest ed priorities outlined by the legislature. The plan is in answer to road blocks resulting from an opin ion by AUy. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton that the governor could not make selective cuts SALEM (UPI) The State System of Higher Education lias handled part of its money casually and sometimes improperly, Secretary of State Howell Ap pling Jr. told, the House Tax Committee today. "Defective" fiscal practices have been responsible for the loss of as much as $1 million in the area of re search alone, he said. Appling gave a preview of a 10-month audit of the system of higher educa tion. His testimony was requested by the commit tee. He said the audit turned up these main "areas of concern:" Research Because of faulty accounting procedures, federal or private grant sources have not been sufficiently tapped for money. Instead, costs that were chargeable to other sources have been paid from state funds intended for tlie general college system. Salaries Some salaries of re searchers have been improperly augmented in violation of both federal and state directives. Bond sinking fund "AH" re venues from buildings that pay six indies of new snow had been deposited on the highway into tlie park, and along the Green Springs Highway, where one inch of snow was noted on both the pavement and along the roadside early today. The snow pack along the roadside at Crater Lake was measured at 27 inches. At Willamette Pass, three inches of new snow and seven inches of roadside snow were reported but the 6now pack was building up under light but con tinuous snow flurries. On Highway G6 from Klamalh Falls to Lakevicw, bare pave ment was prevalent nndcr over cast skies with temperatures registered above freezing. The same conditions were noted in the vicinity of Adcl, it was said. Meanwhile, other reliable sources indicated that it was snowing heavily in tlie vicinity of Yreka and Weed. Motorists travelling through those areas were also advised to carry chains. Temperatures noted today: Willamette Pass, 28; Green Springs, 30; Crater Lake, 26; Lakevicw, .16; Bly, 38; Adel, 36.

Thornton said Hatfield would have to make unifom cuts. Tlie ruling bogged down tlie special session. Legislative leaders had hoped to he able to adjourn today. The allotment control restric tion, and another crisis in tlie state's plan to establish a space age industrial park at Board man, deshed today's adjourn ment goal. Nobody today was predicting for themselves arc supposed to be returned to this fund, but this has not been done. For ex ample, Oregon State University Bookstores, Inc., paid a $37,841 rental to t h e Memorial Union last year. The money was not eturned to tlie bond fund. And, money has been taken from the fund (or construction and land purchases. (Appling said an at torney general's opinion has been requested.) BULLETIN SALEM (LTD The llouso Tux Committee voted 9-1 today to kill a resolution aimed ut the Stale Board of Higher Edu cation. The Scnate-pussrd mea sure would have directed the board to leave college tuition fees and entrance requirements at their present levels for the rest of the biennlum. Appling emphasized that lie was citing only examples. And he said no individual was found to have benefited improperly through misuse of funds. The secretary of state said the crux of the problem was a dif fused system of control over money. He said the higher edu cation system lacks effective control centering in the chancel lor and the Board of Higher Education. Appling said the problem has been enhanced, tay manysatcl' lite organizations, such as alum ni groups, athletic groups, and loundations. The secretary of state recom mended: An adequate system of fin ancial reports that "clearly and accurately" portray the situ, ation of each fund and each limb of the system. A competent internal audit ing staff for the system. An accounting system de signed to make use of modern data processing equipment. "This has nothing whatever to do with academic freedom," he said. "We are not trying to tell educators how to educate or handle research." The committee called Appling as a witness Monday during consideration of a resolution on tuition foes and admission quali fications at state colleges and universities. The resolution would direct the Board of Higher Education to 1 e a v e admission standards and tuition fees at their present levels for the rest of the bicn tiium ending in mid-1065. The board has voted to raise both, (it least temporarily, next year. The changes are part of tlie board's plan (or an $8 mil lion adjustment in its $82 mil lion budget, made necessary by Oregon's fiscal crisis. Appling's office has been au diting the handling of money in the system of higher education for about 10 months. Although auditing of all state spending is a function of Ap pling's office, he said tlie high er education audit was more ex tensive than usual because of practices that turned up during tlie audit. Tlie official audit is scheduled to be published in a few weeks. Appling said it would be issued as coon as several opinions were received that had been re quested from the attorney gen eral. when the special session miglit end. Rep. John Mosser. R-Beaver-tnn, also had answers to tlie al lotment problem, but none of his three suggestions were as simple as Mrs. Hand's. Mosser said the legislature could: (1) Set rigid guide on reductions to be made by Hat field: i2 Make dollar amount cuts in makr budgets and al low the governor to make uni form cuts in other allotments; (31 Or allow the emergency board to work with tlie gover i" r i f - SPUD KING "I can't believe it," exclaims Carol Courter after she was handed mammoth potato at the Oregon State Agricultural offices in Salem today. The economy-sized spud, shown here next to a foot-ruler, weighs 4 pounds, 4 ounces, and could serve 16 persons generously. UPI Telephoto Court Upholds Trusts For Klamath Indians SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) A decision in the U.S. Court of Ap peals today ujlic la the establish ment of trusts for some Klnmath Indians "in need of assistance In conducting their affairs." Under the Klamath Termina tion Act, the Indians were al lowed to choose in 1958 whether they would withdraw from tlie Southern Oregon tribe and take their share of tribal assets in cash or remain in the tribe and have their share of assets man aged with the group's. The then-secretary of interior determined that the plaintiffs in the appeals case, Furman Crain Sr., Marian Crain and Tilda Chavez, were In need of assis tance. He placed their assets, which they had withdrawn from the tribe's, in trust with the First National Bank of Oregon at Portland. Under law, the plaintiffs could have challenged this arrange ment in a naturalization court, but they did not do so. Barghoorn Slates Meeting With Washington Officials NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UPD Yalc Professor Frederick C. Barghoorn prepared to tell State Department officials today of his 16 days behind Russian pris on bars on spy charges. Barghoorn's trip to Washing ton includes a session with high ranking foreign advisers of the Kennedy administration. Speculation was high that the political scientist might have an audience with President Ken nedy. No official appointment has been scheduled, however. Barghoorn was scheduled to talk with Llewellyn E. Thomp n, Soviet affairs adviser, Wil liam It. Tyler, assistant secre tary of state (or European af fairs, and Richard II. Davis, Tyler's deputy. Tlie session was Ui be held at tlie State Depart Fund Cutting Issue nor on budget reductions. Rep. Hand insisted tlie plan Senators wanted to know what effect Thornton's ruling might was both the simphst and easiest. But surprisingly, it appeared Republicans might spearhead 0iosition to allowing the Re publican governor such complete budget control. Democratic legislators weren't commenting on whether they would up)ort the proposal. The senate refused again Mon day to v o t e on tlie House-ap ? i Instead, they asked a Federal District Court to held the pri vate trust unconstitutional. The' district court rendered summary judgment against them. The court of appeals denied the argument of unconstitution ality. Also rejected was an argu ment that the form of the choice given the Klamath Indians in 1958 did not comply with the re quirements of the termination act. The court of appeals said the law did not require any particu. lar form of ballot and that the Interior secretary had ultimate authority in tlie adoption of any plan. The opinion, Issued last Wed nesday in Los Angeles, was written by U.S. Dist. Judge Wil liam T. Becks of Seattle. It also was signed by Chief Judge Richard H. Chambers and Judge Stanley Barnes of tlie U.S. Court of Appeals. ment, but Secretary of State Dean Rusk was not expected to attend. At the meeting, Barghoorn was expected to reveal some of tlie details of his arrest and im prisonment. He has not spoken publicly at length about either since his return to the United States Sunday. At a massive rally Monday night in the university's Wool soy Hall, 2.500 students and fac ulty members jammed the hall to pay tribute to the returned scholar.
