PACE-2B HERALD AM) NEWS, Klamath Falls. Oregon Thursday, November 21, 193 Secret Gatherings Keep Public Guessing ' "-x - - - --- Sfll.l . . -I RECORD MADE Dr. George Nicholton, left, local Red Cross board member, and president of the Klamath County Medical Society, presented a plaque to Col. Ed ward Witienburger, right, in recognition of Kingsley Field's consistent contribution to the Red Cross blood program since inception of the field.

The presentation was made during the November meet ing of the local Red Cross Board of Directors. SALEM (UP! -The futility and danger of attempting to hold secret meetinf s, or barring newsmen from policy Missions of state boards, was graphically illustrated during the first week of the special session. Last Thursday seven legisla tors had breakfast with eix members of the Board of High, er Education at the Marion Hotel. They held a private dis cussion of the conflict between the legislature and higher edu cation. Everyone involved denied it was a "secret meeting." But the fact remains every one involved seemed mighty em barrassed when United Press International discovered what was going on. McClellan And Gilpatric Exchange Harsh Yords Campus Gets Going Over SALEM (UPI) The Oregon : State University campus got a ; going over Tuesday during '. testimony before the House Tax Committee. Chairman Richard Eymann, D-Marcola. cited the fourth floor microbiology department as a crowded fire trap. Rep. Cornelius Balcson, O - Salem, said the department also con tained bacteria that could en danger the area if they were re leased through a disaster such as fire. Chancellor R. E. Lieuallcn said the old building had to be used until construction of Cord Icy Hall was completed. He said all possible safety precautions were being taken. Batcson questioned wlicther the new OSU library had an un necessary $200,000 "patio." Lieu allcn replied it was a covered cntranceway, and had made it possible to cut down on more expensive inside lobby space by giving students a protected area outside. He said at a little over $13 per square foot, it was "very inexpensive" compared to other college libraries. WASHINGTON 'Iff - Sen. John L. McClellan, D-Ark., bluntly told Deputy Dcfonx Sec retary Roswcll L. Gilpatric Wednesday that he should have disqualified himself in the mul tibillion dollar TEX warplano contract award. Tho leather-voiced chairman of the Senate investigations sub committee also told Gilpatric he was not at all sure there had not been a conflict of interest in the matter. He noted Gii patric's past close legal asso ciations with General Dynamics Corp.. winner over Boeing Co for the big TFX contract. Gilpatric emphatically denied any conflict of interest. Some subcommittee members came to his defense. The exchanges occurred as Gilpatric was questioned for the third consecutive day about his roll in the award last Nov. 21 of the estimated $7 billion con tract to produce 1,700 of tue supersonic Air Korcc-Navy fight er planes. Gilpatric replied that neither he nor his former New York law firm of Cravath, Swainc it Moore had any "economic ad vantage in this contract." "I was never an officer, a di rector, a stockholder in Gener al Dynamics," he said. "1 nev er had a financial interest in it, my firm didn't. I may or may not go back to the firm. My past relationships did not in any sense affect my judgment." The defense official testified previously that he expects to re turn to the law firm soon. Gilpatric said he retired from the firm. He said It was not a leave of absence, and that he told Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara that he would have to "review my situation" at the end of two years' Pen tagon service not quit in two years. Gilpatric is said to lie plan ning to resign the key defense position at the end of this year or early next year and there al ready have been several "good by" parties for him, He told the subcommittee that it is a "reasonable expec tation I will return to the law firm" when he leaves, but ad ded: "There is no commitment, no agreement. I won't make up my mind actually until I leave office." Gilpatric was a $140,000 - a year lawyer with the firm be fore taking over as second in command of the Defense Department. The government of Ghana had the first all-African elected leg islature with an all-African cabinet. CONGMTUUllONS TO THE NEW re center 5757 SOUTH 6TH ff GRAND f OPENING 1 U FRI. & SAT.

OF KLAMATH FALLS 4369 Homcdolo Was it pure coincidence that the Board of Higher Education held a special "public" meeting just four hours after the secret session broke up? While the public knows what went on at the "public" meet ing, there still is no assurance that agreements were not work ed out at the secret conclave. Then, the following day, mem bers of the governor's staff, leg islative leaders, ami attorneys for Boeing held a meeting. Newsmen knew they were meet ing, b u t they were denied ad mission. Before the meeting broke up, newsmen knew another crisis had developed over the Board man Space Age Industrial Park, and tliat the governor was sub mitting a special message to the legislature. There appears no logical rea son for newsmen to have been barred from the meeting. Certainly nobody expected to be able to keep the Boardman crisis a secret. The problem had to be laid out so the leg islature could find an answer. But because newsmen were barred, there's the unanswered question: Is there another, as yet unannounced, problem with Boardman? What the legislature does is public business. Higher educa tion gets almost $40 million a year of taxpayers' money w hat the board docs is public busi ness. When legislators and mem bers of higher education's board hold meetings, the public has a right to know what is going on. When tlicy deliberately hold secret meetings, the public has a riht to be disturbed. When the Boardman deal, which already has cost nearly a million dollars, gets into trouble the public has a right to know about it. LITTLE PEOPLE'S PUZZLE ' 6ACROS51 4-1 im j) s MIT 8 across!
