COMMUNITY SERVICE These members of the Key Club, Kiwanis-sponsored or
ganization at KUHS, are shown as they launched a community service program of
cleaning out the planters which line the Main Street. Shown, left to right, are Warren
Leistikow, president of the club; Glen Fleet and Ralph Totton. The planters have
become a depository for cigarette butts and other trash, and the work of the Key
Club members can aid in making them an addition of beauty to the community.
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withdrawn from Western Eur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? '

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.

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

flames that soared 200 feet, de

damaged four additional guest
houses which housed no resi.

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

SALEM iLPIi Rep. Beulah
Hand, D-Milwaukie, suggested
Monday the legislature should
just appropriate the whole gen

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.

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

measured up to fire safety reg
ulations. However the fire de

tinue a thorough investigation
of all buildings."
Chains Advised

Motorists en route to Willam

Green Springs Highway were
advised to carry chains today

large quantities of snow

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

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.

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:

Thornton said Hatfield would

Tlie ruling bogged down tlie
special session.
Legislative leaders had hoped
to he able to adjourn today.
The allotment control restric

state's plan to establish a space

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

accurately" portray the situ,

limb of 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

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.
