Hint Spurs Speculation
GOP's May Have Contest
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A faint hint from New York
spurred speculation today that
the Republicans, just like the
Democrats, may feature a con
test at their presidential nominat
ing convention in July.
The hint camo as Democrats
entered their final week ol pri
mary tussling. Maryland votes
Tuesday ana uregon on rnaay.
L. Judson Morhouse, New York
Republican chairman, provided
the hint in a statement Sunday.
He said Gov. Nelson A. Rockefel
ler of New York "should not be
ruled out of consideration for the
presidency."
Some political observers thought
this meant New York intended to
nominate Rockefeller as a favor
ite son candidate at the Republi
can convention in Chicago.
But Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, the clear favorite now,
seemed to have little doubt of the
Reds Protest
Another High
Flying Plane
BONN, Germany (AP) The
Soviet Union protested today that
an unidentified plane flying in
from West Germany violated air
space of Communist East Ger
many Slay S. An Allied spokes
man said the plane was a small
French tourist aircraft that
strayed across the Iron Curtain.
The spokesman said the incident
was routine and the French rep
resentative at the four-power air
safety center in Berlin had apolo
gized to Soviet authorities.
"We get about eight of these in
cidents a month," one Allied offi
cial said.
Nevertheless the Soviets went
ahead with a full-scale protest,
fired off notes to Uie three West
ern powers.
Delivery of the notes apparent
ly was timed with the opening of
the summit conference in Paris.
The French Embassy said the
aircraft was a sport plane with
one occupant. It was flying from
Strasbourg, in eastern Franco, to
Malinoe, southern Sweden, and
got lost en route, an embassy
spokesman said.
The notes to the commanders of
the U. S.. British and French forc
es in West Germany claimed that
the plane crossed the East Ger
man frontier 10 miles southwest
iif Boizcnburg at a height of more
than 55.000 feet and flew for 56
miles into East German territory.
The notes suggested Soviet fight
rrs could have shot the plane down
but that the Soviets "considered
it possible on this occasion to re
train therefrom." ,

outcome, either at the Republican
or the Democratic convention.
He reportedly predicted that he
would be the Republican nominee
and Sen. John F. Kennedy of
Massachusetts the Democratic
nominee.
In his statement from Albany
Morhou.se said Rockefeller was
correct in resisting pressure to ac
cept the vice presidential nomina
tion.
"If we are honest with our
selves, we must recognize that tho
place for that broad appeal, reach
ing beyond party line?, is at the
head of the ticket," Morhouse
said. "Its absence there cannot
find or claim compensation else
where." Rockefeller, in a letter to Re
publican National Chairman
Thruston B. Morton Saturday, had
said he would not attend the na
tional convention. He did not want
the delegates to misconstrue at
tendance as willingness to accept
second place, Rockefeller said.
This emphatic resistance drew
support from Nixon on a television
program early today. He said
Rockefeller's rejection "means
the office is not downgraded by
being resisted and then offered to
a second man who is obviously
second choice."

Morse, as a favorite son, was
entitled to Oregon's 17 votes at

Soviets Launch
On Eve Of Paris
MOSCOW (AP) The Soviets
say their 4'i-ton dummy-manned
space ship the biggest satellite
ever launched is whizzing around
the earth on course.
"There soon will be a man in
space," the Soviets said.
Hurled aloft by a superrockct,
the giant ship was reported send
ing back signals confirming "the
good agreement between its actual
orbit and the calculated one" for
its flight around the globe every
91 minutes.
Dr. Viktor Razzekin, director of
the Moscow Planetarium, conced
ed there are still problems to he
solved before sending up a live
astronaut Ihe main one being
how to get him back to earth
safely.
The official news agency Tass
said no attempt will be made to
retrieve the dummy passenger rid
ing in a pressurized cabinet with
"all the necessary equipment for
a future manned space flight."
Soviet scientists said the 24-ton
cabinet would be separated from
Ihe satellite after the "necessary
information" is received but would
burn up in the atmosphere as it
drops.
The Soviets gave only skimpy
details Sunday in announcing the
launching of their latest space ve
hicle on the eve of Ihe Paris sum
mit conference.

Summit Meeting
said "the flight of this ship will go
down in the annals of astronautics
as one of tho last steps before
mankind's emergence inlo outer
space."
Prof. Vladimir Dobronravov. a
top space man, said the launching
was linked with the "superrockct
test firings" into the Pacific last
January. In London, a spokesman
for the British Interplanetary so
ciety estimated the rocket propel
ling the Soviet ship was two or
three times more powerful than
the U.S. Atlas and Titan rockets.
The rocket went into orbit ap
proximately 200 miles up and be
gan sending back beeps that sound
ed like a distant train whistle. The
Sputnik is visible to the naked eye
in hours of darkness. It was first
sighted in the United States at
4:10 a.m. by moonwatchcrs in
Dayton, Ohio.
"Analysis of the initial data re
ceived from the satellite ship
shows that the installed instru
mentation and equipment arc func
tioning normally," Tass said.
The satellite is fitted with spe
cial radio equipment to relay to
ground stations data on the opera
tions of its scientific and meas
uring instruments in the hermetic
ally sealed cabin which are pow
ered by chemical and solar bat
teries. The exact time and place of the
launching were not disclosed.
"The launching was undertaken
to perfect and check the satellite
ship's system, insuring its safe
flight and controls, its return to
the earth and the necessary condi
tions for th space crew," the first
official announcement said.

Restore Harmony Af End
The Democratic party in their
central committee meeting had a
wild one going at the Douglas
County Courthouse Sunday after
noon. But they seemed to manage
to seal the political keg before it
became all foam and no beer.
County party chairman Clyde
DeWitt at one time left the pre
siding speaker's table, later return
ing. He on the one hand and state
Rep. W. O. (Bun) Kelsay and Rep.
hopeful Sid Leiken on the other
exchanged harsh words before cool
ing off. Kelsay and Leiken also had
a battle of issues with Al Roll,
Roseburg attorney and long prom
inent in Democratic politics. The
question of Al Flegel of Roseburg
vs. C. Girard (Jebby) Davidson
for national committeeman drew
in DeWitt, Leiken, Roll, and state
Sen. Dan Dimick.
Rastoras Pejc
Party vice-chairman D 0 or t h y
Hull nimbly helped restore peace.
She was aided by an apology from
Leiken to DeWitt. And by a party
unity appeal from Gen Carlson,
Drain motel operator, precinct
committeewoman and authoress.
The issue involved was endorse;
ment of specific primary candi
dates by the Democratic party cen
tral committee. Roll was for it.
He said that that was the decision
taken at the county convention and
that it would "be a tragedy" if
the idea of endorsements was
overturned now.
Kelsay and Leiken were against
endorsements of specific candi
dates. They opposed them on
grounds the party had been built
up since 1954 by a unified approach
and not by the primary endorse
ment method. Roll said it wasn't
the prerogative of asmall group
men and committeewomen gather
ed at the meeting) to overturn a
county convention mandate. He
was supported by some other
speakers.
Kelsay contended that the coun
ty convention didn't provide a man
d a t e, but it did give
the central committeemen the op
tion of determining whether or not
to endorse. He also said there'd
been widespread notice of the Sun
day meeting, that all committee
men and committeewomen thus
had opportunity to attend.
Roll thought there'd been wide
spread agreement at the county
convention on the endorsement pro
cedure. He didn't recall that Kel
say specifically was for it. But he
claimed other leading Democrats
such as his former law partner
Sen. Dimick then wer.
Kelsay Faction Wins
The Kelsay faction won out. They
got a vote, after a hodge-podge of
motions and amendments, on a pro
posal to study the matter until the
next meeting. Roll tried to halt
this by seeking the consideration
and action at this specific meet
ing. Kelsay's motion passed by
15-10. It means no action this prim
ary. Roll then moved for a recess,
obviously still trying to sneed the
study and action into a one-meet
ing deal. The chair DeWutrec

ognized the motion. Kelsay imme
diately rushed in with a motion
for adjournment.
DeWitt heatedly left the plat
form then, describing Kelsay's
move as an attempt at a "gag."
He scored the Douglas county leg
islators, saying that what he
thought were objectionable
tactics had soured many party
workers. Kelsay defended his ad
journemnt motion as proper parli
amentary procedure. (Later the
two men in a milder exchange
traded views on some Democratic
party difficulties. DeWitt thought
that the Democratic legislators
didn't get around enough except
Dimick to the Keedsport and oth
er county areas. Kelsay thought it
an over-statement and said in one
instance he attended a session
sparsely peopled with voters).
Leiken then brought up DeWitt's
support of Davidson for national
committeeman. DeWitt said ho
supported Davidson for committee
men, Uie Democratic slate for leg
islature. He said he haadn't in
tended that he was thus putting
the county central committee on
record that way. Leiken said it
came out that way on radio and
TV. DeWitt in effect said he
couldn't help that, and didn t know
that it had until previously crit
icized by Leiken. (On the commit
teeman matter, Roll later said he
thought Flegel's jobs as senator if
elected and committeeman would
conflict. Sen. Dan Dimick, now a
circuit judge candidate but at the
meeting defending his fellow legis
lator Flegel, denied the jobs would
conflict.
Harmony Address
Mrs. Carlson delivered a har
mony speech in which she said
"this is why we're Democrats
the Republicans wouldn't dare
squabble like this." Mrs. Hult
brought DeWitt back to the plat
form and he delivered a report on
the state convention.
Leiken apologized for question
ing DeWitt's motives in supporting
Davidson. DeWitt accepted, both
men stating they'd gotten out of
line in the heat of tempers.
And the committeemen and
women, and handful of spectators,
then adjourned to the Umpqua Ho
tel to meet Mrs. Maurine Neuber
Eer. And all seemed in agreement
on another mater they were for
Sen. Wayne Morse j primary pres
idential bid.
