Only one fire remained a dan. ger the l.OOO-acre Canyon Creek fire in the Willamette National Forest near Detroit and even it was stopped at least temporarily by the rain. Foresters said more than a third of an inch of rain fell on the blaze. Guy Johnson, fire control dis-i patcher for the regional office of the Forest Service, said, however, that the fire will not be ronsid-, ered under control until a fire line i has been completed around the: blaze. I Rugged terrain has prevented crews from completing Ihe fire trail. Eight hundred men are working at it, but the country is so steep that they have had to call in helicopters to get into some areas. Winds Halt, Control Nearer The rain did not reach Eastern Oregon range fires, but crews al ready had them under control any-; way. ! John C. Hunt of the Bureau of Land Management said winds died down Thursday and enabled fire fighters to get trails around 1 16,000-acre fire south of Vale and. a 4.000-acre blaze about 35 miles south of Baker. A mopup crew of 25 men worked today on the Vale fire, which de stroyed much grass and browse, Hunt said. A crew of 50 men is mopping up the fire south of Baker Known as the Shirttail Creek blaze. A week-old fire in the Rogue River National Forest also was controlled. It was south of Crater Lake Park, in the Klamath Dis trict. It destroyed seven acres of timber along the Cascade summit. It was five miles from the near est road and it took a crew con siderable time to reach the smold ering blaze. Forty men were mop ping it up today.

I Arrest of the pair this week fol- lowed nearly two years of investi gation carried on by the office of Sheriff Ira C. Byrd in cooperation with the Oregon State Police arson : squad.

Force including time during the 1 Korean conflict, and cooperated! fully and readily with police, the judge said. Sst. W.

Atlantic Area WASHINGTON (AP) The Navy said today the Vanguard satellite launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., May 27, traveled 7.500 miles into the South Atlantic instead of going into orbit. The 20-inch, 21Vi-pound sphere and the 50-pound third stage of the Vanguard rocket were intend ed to reach an altitude to 300 or 400 miles and then to go into or bit. Instead, the second stage lifted the rocket to 388 miles, a naval research laboratory report showed. The second stage engine failed to cut off properly, causing the rocket to fly with its nose at an upward angle instead of parallel to the earth. The third stage, flying in a high arc, fired at the wrong angle and climbed to a peak altitude of 2,200 miles. An Impact predictor device showed that if the satellite suc cessfully returned to earth it land ed near the east coast of South Africa. 7,500 miles from the launching site. However, the lab oratory was unable to determine whether the sphere survived the heat of its re-entry into the earth's atmosphere, because radio sig nals from it failed before that point was reached.
