2 The Newi-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Mon., Feb. 6, 1961 r y Russia Maintains Silence On Fate Of Massive Socket MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union maintained . an enigmatic and unusual silence today on the mission and fate of its massive new Sputnik. Western tracking sta tions picked up no trace of the satellite. A Soviet scientist. Prof. Yevgeny Lconodivich Klinov, hinted the seven-ton satellite, whose launching was announced Friday, was un manned, tie said it was designed to study the earth and its environ ment. In Contrast Moscow's official silence was in direct contrast to previous satel lite launchings, when Soviet scien tists routinely announced how equipment was functioning and the schedule of cities to be passed over. Western experts speculated that either something went wrong with the new satellite or the Soviets were keeping some spectacular de velopment a secret until its suc cess was assured. Western scientists ' especially noted the Soviets seemed in no hurry to answer speculation that the Sputnik might be carrying a man through space. The satellite is large enough to carry an astro naut and perhaps two. Said Unmanned Italy's Communist party news paper L'Unila reported in a Mos cow dispatch that the Sputnik "al most certainly" was unmanned. Britain's leading satellite-track Oregon's Legislators Face Tough New Controversies SALEM (AP) As the Oregon legislators came back for their fifth week, they were handed two new controversies with introduc tion of legislation for compulsory automobile liability insurance and to repeal the state school reorgani zation law. But neither measure is given any chance of passage. Sen. Robert Straub, D-Eugene, introduced the insurance meas ure. It would require, every auto mobile owner to carry liability insurance of $10,000 for injury or death to one person, $20,000 for injury or death to two or more persons, and $5,000 properly dam age. The bill to wipe out the stale school reorganization law was sponsored by Sen. Ben Musa, D The Dalles, who believes Uib law violates local control of schools. The legislature plunged today into hearings on measures. to ra- Morrow Seeks Help If Boeing Moves In ' HEPPNER (AP) A 1)111 to be introduced in the Oregon Legis lature soon would require vtho state to pay the initial edsls stemming from a population in flux, should the Boardmnn indus trial park be leased to a manufac turing firm. ' Rep. Frank M. Wcatllorford, D-Olex, said the whole state would benefit from a big indus trial plant there and that the state should help pay the initial costs. Heppner . Mayor 1 Al Lamb said the county would go broke in two years if it tried to pay for schools and other public facilities which would result from a big population influx. Last week Gov. Mark Hatfield announced Uiat Boeing Airplane Co. had signed an agreement to lease the 96,000-acre Boardman tract for 80 years for a rental of $G0,000 a year.

Woman's Song Calms Passengers On Liner YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP)-An American woman stood on the deck of a sinking ship in Tnkvo hay Sunday night and sang "The Lord's Prayer" to calm the excit ed survivors. The singer was Mrs. Victor An drews of Laguna Beach, Calif., a passenger on the 6, 419-ton Danish freighter Laust Maersk. The ship sank after colliding with the 6.410 ton American cargo ship Alcoa Pioneer. The Japanese Coast Guard said one Danish crewman died in the crash and three others were miss ing. Forty-three persons includ ing Mrs. Andrews and three other American passengers were res cued. The American ship docked un der her own power, her bow ripped and tangled. The Laust Maersk went down in about 20 minutes. Announcing The Return To Full Time Practice of Dentistry AT THE SAME LOCATION 1340 West Harvard Ave. ... Dr. Leland F. Van Allen ing expert, Prof. Bernard I-ovell, director of the Jodrell Bank THA G Station, said, "there is certain ly something rather odd about the long Russian silence on the satel lite's progress." He suggested the Sputnik's radio may have broken down or the Soviets might be transmitting on frequencies not used before. "It may be, of course, that there is some living thing on board not necessarily a man and the Rus sians are saying nothing until they get the satellite safely back to earth," he said. "if the silence continues, I shall be inclined to believe that some thing went wrong shortly after the launching," Lovell said. ' Japanese scientists said they picked up signals being transmit ted today on frequencies normally used by Soviet satellites but said the signals seemed to be coming from a fixed station and not an m-hilintf uhiect. The Soviet press continued to give the SpulniK Dig propaganua treatment, reporting Soviet and foreign reaction to the launching. But no details of the satellite's progress were given. , Prof. Klinov was quoted by Mos cow radio as saying the satellite was designed "to study the earth as a planet and to make a study of its nearest environment, including that of meteoritic dangers," and was in a different category than earlier Soviet Sputniks that took apportion the legislature, estab lish forestry camps for boys, and make loan companies advertise their aiigual interest rales. There will be a hearing tonight on voca tional education. Grenfell introduced a bill to pro hibit employers from forcing their employes lo contribute to charity.

It would con solidate the Tax Commission with the inheritance and gift tax divi sion, and create a tax court to hear appeals from rulings of the department.

West Lumbermen Gird For Defense Western lumbermen are girding for defense of present rail rates to eastern and southern markets, to resist a formal attack before the Interstate Commerce Commis sion by southern lumber interests. K. C. Batchelder, traffic manag er for west Coast Lumbermen's Association, reported today that a former ICC commissioner, James K. Knudson, has filed on behalf of several groups of southern lumber producers, a "petition for investi gation of rail rales and practices on lumber." Hold-Down - This petition charges that pres ent rales to the important eastern and southern markets favor the West and discriminate against the South, Batchelder explained. It particularly attacks the so-called hold-down which ICC has applied for the past 14 years to general rate increases as they affect western lumber. "Every sawmill and community in the West should be concerned over this move to wipe' out pres ent rate structures," said the vet eran traffic specialist. "This is the first time the ICC has been peti tioned to make a general investi gation of lumber freight rates. "If the hold-down principle were to be eliminated, millions of dol lars of added freight charges would be heaped on western lumber and related wood products. What is worse, many of our producers would be forced out of national markets because of this handicap." $15.50 More Western lumber now pays about $15.50 more per thousand boaid feet for delivery to Chicago, for example, than docs southern lum ber from a typical point such ,as Hattiesburg, Miss. This difference would be even greater if the hold down had not softened the blow that the postwar scries of general percentage rises would have inflict ed. The hold-down, Batchelder fur ther explained, has not prevented the rate gap from widening the difference to Chicago after World War II .was only $8.87 per thou sand board feet, or $6.63 less than today but the principle has pre vented a rate runaway in favor of the South. As the Knudson petition points Spiegal Buys Yacht TOULON. France )ap) Negroes movie producer Sam Spiegal re portedly has bought the 150-foot yacht Malahnc now being over hauled in Toulon.
