He made the statement as he stood on a wicker chair talking to correspondents amidst the wreckage of the American plane he claims was shot down May 1 east of the Urals. One of the newsmen asked him point blank: "Do you want Eisen hower to come here in view of Ule plane incident?" "What do you want me lo say?" Khusluliev asked. "You get into my place here and reply for me." I An American correspondent then asked whether, in view of his changed attitude toward Eisenhow er, he would want him to post pone the visit to the Soviet Union now scheduled for June 10. I would not like to comment," the Premier said. "We can ex change views with the President on that in Paris." He announced he is leaving Saturday for the summit confer ence in Paris opening May 16.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1960 your estimate of Eisenhower?" "It does, f course," he replied. "I was not aware of the fact that the plan was not the caprice of an individual officer. 1 was hor rified lo learn that the President had approved the plan of these flights." Khrushchev said the flight had been approved by Allen W. Dul les, head of the Central Intelli gence Agency, and under the di rection of the President. "Don't expect me after that to sav what nice people these are." Khrushchev also said on wheth er he wanted Eisenhower to come to Moscow: "It is difficult to reply. You know my friendly attitude toward the President. My hopes have not been justmcd. I am a human De ma. I have feelings. "The people of Russia are open hearted. Can I urge the Russian people to greet him as a dear guest? The Russian people would sav 1 wras mad to welcome a man who sends spy planes over here like that." Khrushchev spoke to newsmen in Gorky Park where the Rus sians displayed what they say is the wreckage and some of the personal belongings and equip ment of Francis G. Powers, pilot of the American intruder jet. Two wings of an aircraft were propped up as the exhibit's cen ter piece. They appeared to be in almost perfect condition except for a series of small hopes which looked like they were mads by shrapnel. Great twisted pieces of metal from the plane were also shown, along with the personal contents of Powers' waliet. Before reporters talked to Khrushchev, they had looked over exhibits and met with Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who denounced Powers' flight as ah act of aggression. Gromyko said the United Stales was playing with fire and "one of the most dangerous forms of brinkman ship." Health Department Publishes Report The Douglas County Public Health Department has published an annual report directed to t h e county court about its activities for the past year. Copies of the report will be mail ed out to city, county and slate agencies for study. The report went into detail on the Aug. 7 explosion and said that from the resulting blast and fire, a number of unique sanitation problems were created. These included sanitary checks on foods, an increase in the rat population in the ensuing weeks, water sanitation problems and many others. The report also covered health office activities in communicable disease control, epidemiologic in vestigations, diagnostic services, immunization programs, health education and inscrvice training plus two special programs in curb ing TB and venereal disease. Under the sanitarians section of the report, it was established that some 130 restaurants, 125 tourist facilities and 62 schools in the county had been checked periodic ally throughout the year for sani talion.

Kennedy of Mas sachusetts smashed triumphantly through the West Virginia pri mary today and headed closer to Ihe Democratic presidential nom ination. His victory after Tuesday's vot ing knocked Sen. Hubert H. Hum phrey of Minnesota out of the race and wiped out claims that, as a Roman Catholic, Kennedy could not win in a heavily Protestant state. Kennedy also sported the high est number of votes in the Neb raska presidential primary. But tne luster ot nis possible victory there was dimmed a good deal by the write-in total for Vice President Richard M. Nixon on the Republican ballot. The only name listed on th Nebraska presidential preference ballot for either party was Ken nedy. Yet Nixon was piling up as many write-in votes as Kennedy received on the regular ballot. new Mexico also voted in a pri mary Tuesday. But the resullj had no effect on the presidential picture. Humphrey conceded defeat at 1:08 a.m., Eastern Standard Time. and then issued a statement, say ing: "I am no longer a candidate for the Democratic presidential nom ination." Kennedy, who flew back from Washington early today, was jubi lant over the results. "I had no doubt that you would cast your vote on the basis of the issues and not on any religious prejudice," he added. Tile withdrawal of Humnhrev from the campaign may strength en support tor Adlai Stevenson. Many Humphrey backers are ex pected to switch their allegiance to the man the party nommated in lahz ana 1966. Kennedy's victory did not bind the state's 25 delegate votes tj the Democratic National con vention in July. in iMcoraska, with 1,009 of the state's 2,107 precincts reporting, Kennedy had 27,5118 votes on the Democratic ballot. Nixon had 20, 364 Republican write-ins. As in West Virginia, the results of the presidential preference bal lots do not bind the state s dele gates, who will cast 16 votes at the Democratic convention and 18 at the Republican convention. In New Mexico, Sen. Clinton P. Anderson won. Democratic renom-. illation for a third term. Ike Doesn't Agree On Religion Issue WASHINGTON (AP) President Eisenhower said today he isn't suro ho agrees completely with observers who are saying Tues day'! Democratic presidential pri mary in West Virginia buried the religious issue in the 1960 cam paign. The President added that he stands by an earlier statement which he said used the strongest language he could command to deplore the injection of the reli gious issue in this year's election eering. The smashing triumpn ot sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass), a Ro man Catholic over Congregation alist Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D Minn) in predominantly Protestant West Virginia has been viewed by some as minimizing the religious question. Eisenhower did not elaborate at all in expressing his doubt that, the actual outcome finished off the religious issue. But he did seize a chance to chide the pollsters and the press for their advance assessments of the West Virginia situation. The President said that while he normally reads only the Sun day newspapers, he had read what the press said was going to happen in West Virginia. Many political writers had predicted a Hum phrey victory. FLOWER SHOW SLATED The Days Creek Garden Club will hold its annual flower show May 13 and 14 at the Canyonville Youth Center.
