France Protests
Moscow's Note
PARIS (AP) France told the
Soviet Union Sunday it could not
accept some of the language Mos
cow used in its note protesting
the French buzzing of Soviet Pres
ident Leonid Brezhnev's plane off
the Algerian coast. .
The French note addressed to
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.
.Gromyko said France will let the
V.remlin know the results of its
investigation. But the role said
"certain terms employed in the
Soviet note" sent here Saturday
are considered inadmissable.
French jet fighters intercepted
the Soviet plane last Thursday
while Brezhnev was en route to
Morocco and Guinea.
The French said one fighter
fired warning shots to attract the
plane's attention after the four
jet airliner was found too far
south of its scheduled course for
Morocco and failed to identify it
self. France expressed "sincere re
grets" for the incident but insist
ed its patrols looking for arms
shipments to the Algerian rebels
have the right to intercept any
plane within an 80-mile "zone of
responsibility" along the Algerian
coast.
, ...The Soviets rejected the ex
planation. They demanded again
that the guilty fliers be punished,
accused the French of trying to
whitewash the incident and insist
ed the whole affair was "nothing
but an act of international ban
ditry." In London it was understood
Franco resented the Soviet Union
calling its fliers "bandits," ob
jected to a contention that direct
shots and not warning shots were
fired, and said the Soviets cried
falsely of interception over inter
national waters for a plane the
French say was off course.
Local Man's Legs
Severed By Train
Severe injuries were sustained
by Alva E. Teeters, 60. of Garden
Valley, a railroad brakeman, in
Medford Saturday night. Both his
legs were cut off, according to an
Associated Press report.
State police said he was connect
ing air hoses when he somehow
siPped beneath the wheels. There
was no way to tell how he fell,
police said, since nobody was near
Teeters at the time.
Teeters, a brakeman for the
Southern Pacific railroad, was
rushed to the hospital for surgery,
police said. He was reported in
fair condition this morning.

8-Year-0ld Tells
Bank Robbery Aid
PITTSBURGH (AP) Pitts
burgh police today examined an
8-year-old girl's story that she
helped several older boys break
into a bank on the city's north

A burglar alarm brought police
rushing to the Manchester branch
of the Mellon National Bank &
Trust Co.
Officers found the hank empty
but the girl and her younger
brother were spotted loitering out
side. The girl told police that on Sat
urday, some older boys about 10
or 12 years of age talked her
into sneaking into the bank. She
said she did it by squeezing
through a small opening between
a door Brill and the basement
door. Once inside, she said, she

Latest Shot
Puts Soviets
Out In Front
MOSCOW (AP)-A 1,148-pouna
Soviet "space station" hurtled to
ward a mid-May rendezvous with
the planet Venus today after a
spectacular piggy back launching
the l.'nited States does not expect
to achieve for another 18 to 24
months. ,
The space traveler carrying a
banner emblazoned ' with the So
viet coat of arms should reach the
area of Venus when earth's sister
planet will be about 26 million
miles away, the Soviets said.
Probes Mysteries
The latest Soviet space shot
second in eight days was aimed
at investigating conditions on and
around the planet, whose perpet
ual mantle of clouds has made
it a mystery to scientists.
Scientists and officials on both
sides of the iron curtain hailed
the Venus shot as the greatest
space feat since the Soviet Union
orbited her first Sputnik three
years ago. It adds to the Soviet
Union's other claimed accomplish
ments, which include hitting the
moon with a rocket, photographing
the far side of the moon and or
biting the sun.
The White House issued a terse
statement that President Kennedy
had been advised of the rocket
firing and that the United States
had been tracking it ever since.
A Defense Department spokesman
said the Pentagon knew about the
firing before the Soviet Union an
nounced it Sunday.
U.S. Months Bohind
Dr. Hugh Dryden. deputy ad
ministrator of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration
said in Washington tha United
States is at. least l'i to. 2 years
from aemeving tne kind of several-stage
launching of such a
largo object reported by the So
viets. But he said he was not sur
prised by the announcement.
"We have known for some
time," Dryden said, "that they
had the booster (rocket) capa
bility for such a mission."
U.S. space officials pointed out,
however, that the United States
already has successfully fired
rocket into the area of Venus with
Somewhat the same purpose as
that announced by the Soviets.
They referred to Pioneer V, the
94.8 pound rocket launched last
March 11 from Cape Canaveral,
1- la. Its main aim was to go into
orbit around the sun, although the
general purpose was somewhat
like the new Soviet probe, NASA
officials said.
Lost Contact
Pioneer V lost radio contact
with the earth when it was 22.5
million miles away.
The Soviet announcement indi
cated the Venus launching was an
extremely complex operation. It
said a multistage rocket carried
a Sputnik into orbit, another
rocket was launched from the
Sputnik and the second rocket
fired off "an automatic inter
planetary" station with the intent
either of hitting Venus or going
into orbit around it.

admitted taking a truck of Cali

saw the key in the ignition. He
headed north and failed to make
a curve, hitting loose gravel on
the east shoulder and causing the
vehicle to go into the ditch and
roll.
Collide At Dillard
The accident occurred near the

of her. The Bovee car was making
a U turn in the driveway of the
Myrtle Grove Motel. Airs. Prock

In Elisabethville the interior

Alunongo.

Alunongo called Lumumba a

Lumumba, firebrand of Congo
