Port Angeles Evening News, YEAR'S LEAVE Barbara Jensen, first grade teacher at the Washington Elementary School, has taken a year's leave of absence from her position effective at the close of school in June. Mrs. Jensen will teach at the Campus Training School at Central Washington State College.

COLLEGE POSITION Gail Whiting, Port Angeles Senior High School junior class English teacher will be leaving Port Angeles to teach at the Central Washington State College as an English lecturer beginning September, 1966. Johnson's project supported WASHINGTON (AP) President Johnson appeared assured today of congressional authority for a venture into the private capital market designed to hold the 1967 budget deficit to his predicted $1.8 billion rather than a possible $6 billion. While the Senate and House still must negotiate some de. tails, the House removed the last big doubt Wednesday by voting 206-190 for Johnson'sbill to permit the administration to shift federal loans to private investors, using the resulting cash to finance some government operations. The Senate has passed the bill in slightly different form.

The close House vote cli. maxed a long controversy that found liberal Democrats joining Republicans in opposition to the bill and many fiscally conservative Southerners supporting it. The Republican opposition was solid. The Senate was expected to move quickly for a conference to reconcile the differences on the measure. The adminis.

tration is known to be planning to use the authority as soon as possible to provide funds for some agencies now short of cash. The bill provides for the pool, ing of loans made by various government agencies and still held by the government. The Federal National Mortgage As. sociation then would market participations in these pools, principally to large such as pension funds and insur. ance companies.

The proceeds would go to the agencies whose loans were in the pool. They could then make new loans without receiving appropriations that would show up as budget spending. Timber sale set in area OLYMPIA (APV-Bids will be accepted June 16 for 5.3 million board feet of timber in the Olympic National forest, some of it 300-year-old Douglas fir, the Forest Service said Wednesday. Up for bids for small firms will be 118 acres in two clear- cut sections in Jeff erson County, Hoodsport Rpnger District. The sale contains 2.4 million board feet of Douglas fir, 300,000 board feet of western redcedar and 2.6 million board feet of hemlock and other.

The minimum acceptable bid for the 5.3 million board feet is $184,280. While some of the Douglas fir is 300 years old, it averages only 24 inches in diameter because of poor growing condi. tions, the Forest Service said. i Prolonged political activity in Viet Nam could undermine whole basis of war effort high WASHINGTON Some of the best Informed U.S. cials now fear prolonged cal violence in'South Viet Nam could undermine the whole sis of the American war effort there and force this country to reconsider its Vietnamese cies.

A deepening sense of worry and frustration has become dent among policymakers here in recent days. The Johnson administration is still hopeful that the ruling mill, tary directorate in Saigon, headed' by Premier Nguyen Cao Ky, and rebellious Buddhist and military elements at Da Nang 1 and Hue can patch over their differences quickly. Both sides have been warned that they are endangering American support. But in administration quarters there is less talk than there was during earlier outbreaks of violence this year that the South Vietnamese are merely suf. fering political growing pains.

There is more anxious speculation that their differences may be too deep to be reconciled and, even if apparently com. posed, soon will erupt again. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara's statement Wednesday specifying limita tions on the amount of U.S. help that will be given to developing nations is being interpreted by some authorities here as underscoring in policy terms the dip.

lomatic warnings to South Viet, namese leaders disclosed by Secretary of State Dean Rusk at a news conference Tuesday. Rusk said the South ese were being told that "their own attitude, their own solidari. ty, their own efforts are crucial elements in the combined (American and Vietnamese) determination" to get on with the fight against Communist conquest. McNamara, in talking about U. S.

aid to underdeveloped countries in a speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Montreal, said American security is related to the security of developing nations and when they request help they may get it. But he also noted: "Certainly we have no charter to rescue floundering regimes, who have brought violence on themselves by deliberately refusing to meet the legitimate expectations of their citizenry." At another point, he declared: "Our role must be precisely this: to help provide security to those developing nations which genuinely need and request our help, and which demonstrably are willing and able to help themselves." In the absence of official explanations as to what McNam. ara had in mind, other officials said that continuing civil strife in South Viet Nam could be seen here as evidence that the Vietnamese leaders are unable or unwilling to subordinate the struggles among themselves to the larger aim of defeating Communist forces. Questions are being raised increasingly here about whether prolonged civil strife may put a greater burden of fighting on American troops in the country and whether American forces, already battling the Viet Cong, may be caught in the middle between warring factions of the South Vietnamese. For several months there has been speculation in Washington about what the United States should do if some future govern, ment in Saigon asked for drawal of American troops.

The usual administration reply has been that this was extremely unlikely because, as Rusk argued earlier this week, all non-Communist groups in South Viet Nam, Including the Buddhists, are against a Communist takeover and therefore need U.S. military help. In recent days a new question has arisen: "What should the United States do if governmental authority in South Viet Nam were to break up if Hue and Da Nang, important cities in the north, were successfully to assert local control and if Vietnamese military forces in the north were to split apart from those in the south? Would the situation from the U.S. point of view become hopelessly unmanageable?" The administration's answer to such questions so far is that ways must and will be found by the non-Communist Vietnamese themselves to overcome their bitter disputes at least to the extent of getting on with the war. Rusk said at his news confer- ence that no changes were made in U.S.

policy during the conferences held last week when Saigon Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge met with Johnson and other decision makers. Johnson himself In a Chicago speech Tuesday night emphati. cally reaffirmed American determination to see the fight through "until the gallant people of South Viet Nam" have freedom to determine their own future. Staple food prices holding own, official says SPOKANE (AP) Despite rising costs the prices of many staple foods are not much high. er than in the 1940's, a farm credit official said Wednesday.

The average American family can buy the same amount of food with 37 hours' work that required 60 hours' work in 1949, Fred A. Knutsen, president of the Federal Land Bank of Spokane, told the 12th District Federa! Land Bank Association Ad. visory Committee. He said housewives would be paying $2 a dozen for eggs and 50 cents a quart for milk if farmers weren't the world's best technicians. Knutsen said farms are scientifically run factories in the hands of professionals.

He predicted even more spectacular gains for agriculture in the Northwest and Alaska in the years ahead.
