In Re Cave Junction

In a letter to the Editor Of
The Star, dated January 3,
j. c. Alternately compounds
the erroneous information set
forth in an editorial pub
lished in a weekly newspaper
Of Cave Junction, Greg.
Mr.. Alternately is in error
when he refers to a reported
"offer by Senator Morse of a
$220.90 post office under the
Depressed Area Act" The
truth is that on December ~,
1862, Senator Morse was ad-
vised that the General Serv-
ices Administration sent a
prospectus to the Senate and
House Public Works Commit
tees for approval Of las small
public buildings throughout
the United States, including
a Federal building which
would provide post office
and other Federal office
space in Cave Junction. The
total cost of the Cave juno
ton Federal building, includ-
ing land acquisition, was set
by GSA at 1920, 300.
The Cave Junction Federal
building project is by no
means assured because the
prospectus Of the General
Services Administration has

both committees. Unless both
committees approve, the prof.

Mr.. Abernathy misrepre-
Sented when he alluded 10 an
offer" by Senator Morse.
The project was initiated by
the Post Office Department,
after enactment Of the Pub
lie Works Acceleration Act OF
1862 Then the Area Re-
development Administration
conferred with the Depart
ment and the result was a
list OF Federal construction
projects for communities such
as Cave Junction which might
possibly be eligible for funds
under the act.

nathy letter characterizes II

1t apparently is a quite diff
ferent phase of sleep, char
acterized by a different brain
wave pattern.
This is reported through
the American Association for
Advancement Of Science by
Drs. Harold L. Williams,
Donald Tepas and Henry C.
Morlock Of the Army's Walter
Reed Institute of Research.
At the beginning of sleep,
they found. there is a low
voltage" pattern with irregu-
lar wave frequency. Then
there is considerably slower
activity through three other
stages as depth OF slumber
increases. These are followed
by something very similar to
the initial low voltage pat
tern. often followed by awak-
ening. 1t differs, however, in
various aspects, from the
first stage.
Dream Recall Varies
During this latter stage,
the experimenters found by
various techniques, that the
subject probably was dream
ing. When awakened at this
stage he often was able to
recall dreams. He did not do
so when awakened during
any Of the other stages. Dur
ing the low voltage onset
stage especially, there are al
most certainly no dreams.
The four patterns. the ex-
perimenters found. follow
each other In a fairly regu-
lar cycle during the average
night OF normal sleep. The
cycle is repeated about every
30 TO 100 minutes.
Difficulty in awakening a
person differs considerably
throughout the cycle but gem
orally is easier during the

which really may be quite

most dreams occur during

the private sector are released
to create progress and en-
ployment for ALL"
A basic effort, Gov. Rookie
Teller added, to encourage
economic development in
the State has been the res
toration of fiscal integrity
and he said: I'VE replaced
debts and deficits with bal
anced budgets latter replac-
ing the Democratic admin
istration under former Gov.
Averell Hartmann. And he
showed that at the same time
as making these fiscal gains,
there had been increases in
State aid for education,
community mental health
programs, medical care for
senior citizens, public health,
rehabilitation and other vital
purposes-all on a pay-as-
you-go basis. He promised
that further gains would be
made in the next four years
but that he would exercise
the greatest restraint, along
with the Legislature. In con-
sidering new programs. so
as to keep expenditures
within expected and actual
State revenues. Indeed, the
Governor again and again
bore down on the need for
care in dealing with the
States finances. This is in
line with G. o. P. plans to
make an issue of financial
responsibility in the next
national elections.
Medical Care Plan
One of President Ken
nedy's principal legislative
goals in the present session
of Congress is the enactment
Of a law to give medical care
and aid to the aged-medi-
care so called. This is to be
handled through increases
in the Federal social security
taxes. Gov. Rockefeller in his
message went along with the
President on this proposal
with certain amendments.
New York State, he COM
mented, has been a leader in
the matter of medical care
for the needy aging, with
laws on its book providing
for such care.
But, he added, this is not
a medical insurance plan
and was never intended as a
substitute for a general, in
Surance-type, medical care
program that would assure
all senior citizens of essen
tial medical services. This
type Of service, he added,
can be effectively provided
only on a national basis. II
have long advocated a ma
tional program of medical
benefits for senior citizens
through the fiscally sound
and proven contributory
system of social security,
but with three important
provisions"
These give the aged an
option of accepting cash
payments in lieu of benefits
under the program to pay
premiums on private health
insurance. They also would
give the 3 million aged
persons not now covered by
social security the same
benefits for medical care.
and create a separate trust
fund to be set up to handle
the medical portion of the
Social Security System.
1t will be interesting to see
how the opponents of tying
in medical care for the aged
with the Social Security
System. including Repubn-
cans in Congress. react to

GOV. NELSON "A. HOCk6Iel-
Ter Of New York, delivering
his annual message on the
state-of-New York to the
legislature yesterday, had a
five-day start on President
John F. Kennedy who will
present his state-of -the-Na-
ton message to Congress on
Monday. The New York Gov
ernor was able to report to
the legislature that the En-
pire State is in good finan-
cial condition, with balanced
budget, although the budget
for the next fiscal year will
be higher by $187 million.
He was able to say that serv-
ices will be increased - all
this on a pay-as-you-go sys-
tenn. The President of the
United States will speak, it
Is expected, about his plans
to improve the economy Of
the entire Nation, but these
plans will not look to a bal
anced Federal budget but to
a deficit and an increased
national debt. His programs
will bring the Federal budg-
ct UP to 500 billion, it is re-
ported. And there will be
no chance of pay-as-you-go
for all this expenditure.
The New York Governor,
who may become the Repub-
lican nominee for President
to run against President Ken
nedy next year, also COM
mented on a few Of the prob
lens which confront the
whole Nation. Having said
that New York State has

years of progress" measured
in terms Of economic growth,
fiscal integrity and social
responsibility, the Governor
continued: THE Nation is
now searching out ways to
quicken its tagging economic
growth. There are signs"
he said, that the urgent
need for Federal tax revi-
sions to stimulate economic
growth may soon be faced
and hopefully met-recog-
nizing the need to quickly
encourage the capital invest
ment that will spur industry
and multiply jobs. Under

that this problem apparently
is to be dealt with soon; ills

have been dealt with sooner.
