Tass, the Soviet news agency, said two playback sessions of data from the station had been trig gered by radio command from earth and that a big volume of data about space conditions was re ceived. The 1,418-pound "automatic in terplanetary station" was rocket ed from an orbiting Sputdk Sun day, the Soviets said. It is de signed to penetrate the clouds perpetually-blanketine Venus and re- vearrsome of her secrets. Soviet scientists refused to comment, however, on speculation, that the space ship carried cameras aboard. Tass said the station was 303, 600 miles from earth at noon Mon day soaring between the constel lations of Cetus (the Whale) and Pisces (the Fish) in the center of the triangle formed by the constel lations of Beta Aries, Alpha Peg asus and Beta Cetus. "After a few days," Tass said, "the automatic interplanetary sta tion will be out of the so-called sphere of terrestrial gravitation." All equipment aboard was func tioning as intended. Tass said. During the first playback, the temperature aboard was 68 de grees fahrenheit. The account said a temperature control sys tem was designed to assure prop er conditions for operation of equipment on the station. City Police Report Minor Auto Accident City police report a minor auto mobile accident occurred late Mon day morning at the intersection of SK Stephens M. and b washing ton Ave. The two vehicles were driven hv Frank Charlie Dodson, 35, 437 Chadwick St., Roseburg, and Bern hardt Fred Scheele, Lebanon. The only damage resulting from the collision was a bending of the front fenders of the cars, police said. hour delay in start of the search The Green Valley, a black- hulled tender with a green cabin, left a small logging camp about 9:30 a.m. Monday on a 15-mile trip to Pender Harbor. It carried eight men when it left in clear and good weather. Monday a body was discovered floating off McRae Cove by the Royal T. First indications were that it had been m the water three or four days, and officials decided against a search at that time. Last night a cable lo the rescue center from Pender Harbor indi cated the Green Valley was over- I due. Radio communication with i the logging camp was broken by i a failure in the camp's power sup ply and the news of the boat s disappearance was not confirmed until an Air Force tender traveled to the camp to check on the Green Valley's departure. A general marine bulletin was issued asking all vessels to join in the search. However, gale warnings were up in George Strait ' and smaller vessels were expected lo withdraw from the area. The tender normally c a r r I s loggers to and from camps along the British Columbia roast. It was not known how many of the missing were loggers or what was the strength of the tender's crew.

Annexation Election Slated The second annexation election within a year will be held in Rose burg March 23, as residents of what is being called the Keasey Calkins area will go to the polls to decide whether or not to join the city. This election, as was the one last Fall which resulted in the annexation of East Roseburg, is being prompted mainly by the need for sanitary sewers. Area Given The area involved lies eenerallv from NW Garden Valley Blvd. on tne norm to the South Umpqua River bounding the south, begin ning at Stewart Park on the east and running about 8-10 of a mile west of the Keasey Road - Calkins Road junction on the west. The western boundary includes the Grove St. area. The Roseburg City Council Mon day night voted to allocate funds to cover the cost of the March 23 election and to allocate funds for an aerial survey of the area for lulure sanitary sewer engineer ing. Sanitary Facilities City Manager John Warburlon requested the election funds and said he felt the city had received enough verbal support frpin resi dent of the area to warrant hold ing the election. He pointed out that although no petition was turn ed in calling for annexation, as from East Roseburg, this is not a necessity for the instigation of the annexation proceedings. Warburton said the area includes some 300 residents. Like East Roseburg, the area is served by septic tanks and many of its residents are interested in obtaining sanitary sewer facilities, warourion pointed out. State Arson Squad Seeks Fire Clues The slate arson squad, in cooper ation with local authorities, is still investigating the setting of four fires in Roseburg homes recently.

He was apprehended near the telephone building immediate ly after the call. Admits Calls The youth was turned over to city police and then placed in the custody of the juvenile department. He admitted making the call, and on further questioning also admit ted making some anonymous tele phone calls last summer. He had been questioned about these calls at the time, but denied making them then. However, said Woodworth, he has denied making calls about the time of the fire settings. He also has denied any knowledge of the fires. The officer said so far there is nothing to connect him with these occasions. Juvenile Officer Julian Helleck said the youth was released to his parents after questioning, and that further investigation is being made through his otfice.

This is more than one-quarter of total government spending and is 39 million pounds $109,200,000 higher than current defense spending. The white paper hinted that Prime Minister Harold Macmil lan's government is shying away from the more expensive nuclear and rocket arms programs to provide enough money for con ventional forces. Communist China maintains verv large armed forces and the West cannot ignore her rising power, the government said. It predicted that the Soviet Un ion's submarine fleet will increase and its submarines will carry nu clear missiles. "Until general disarmament has been achieved peace rests on the maintenance of adequate power bv the West to discourage aggres sion by the Soviet bloc or by China," the white paper added.

Madcap Mirth Reigns Supreme In The City That NFW ORLEANS (AP) - Madcap mirth reigned supreme today as a multicolored sea of masked mer rymakers turned New Orleans into the city that care forgot. Thousands upon thousands ca vorted through the streets in the final binge before Ihe penitential Lenten season begins. Six gigantic parades, with fan tastic floats and high - stepping marching units, rolled through the streets while smiling crowds with outstretched arms clamored for throws gaudy beads and trinkets. Parents, children in tow, carried stcpladdcrs with fruit crates nailed to the top so the small fry could watch the floats above the heads of the grownups. The balconies of the old build ings in the Vieux Carre the famed French Quarter were jammed with spectators. People tromped on their own feet, those of others and on empty beer cans, popbottles and paper litter ing the streets. j Rex, monarch of merriment, tossed specially minted Carnival coins lo his subjects along the route of his four-hour parade. Tonight the Krewe of Comus. the oldest Mardi (Iras organization, will wind up the parading. Red and Comus will meet at midnight for a champagne toast at their masked balls.

The statement said all Belgian troops and other personnel in the Congo must be disarmed forth with and removed from the Con go. It asserted all military units and gendarmerie taking orders from Tshombe and Congolese Maj. Gen. Joseph Mobutu "must be immediately disarmed." U.N. troops, the Soviet govern ment said, should immediately ar rest Tshombe and Mobutu and bring them to trial as Lumumba's slayers, Tass said all foreign ' troops should be withdrawn "so as It give the Congolese people the pos sibility to solve ad their home af fairs themselves." The situation which Hammar skjold now faces is similar to that faced by his predecessor, Trygve i.iu, atter the bovict Union refused to deal with him because of his condemnation of the Communist invasion of South Korea. Lie, however, continued to scrva from the time of the Soviet non recognition in 1950 until Novem ber 1952.

He has declared he has no inten tion lo resign. Youths Attempt Falls Plunge, L and In Jail OREGON CITY (AP) Four young men set out to plunge over the ' Willamette Falls at Oregon City Monday. They wound up in jail instead. State police commandeered a boat and stopped the four as they drifted down toward the 50-foot- high falls in a rubber raft. The police nabbed them 201) yards from the falls, and hustled them off to jail, where they were booked on a charge of reckless boating. Bail was set at $250 each, i The four said that because the river was swollen by flood waters they thought they could escape the rocks in the falls. Police said, however, they thought the young men would ba thrown to their deaths in the tur bulence. The young men had notified some newspapers and radio sta tions, then tied themselves into the raft and set off from the mouth of the Tualatin River. A number of spectators lined the river bank. The four were booked as Gordon Nichols and Dencil McNiece, both 21, and Douglas Wayne Kelly and Fred Albert Hagedorn, bom 18. All said they were from Oregon City. Care Forgot The Negro Carnival king Zulu kicked off the morning festivities as his parade wound helter-skelter through the city streets. Instead of heads, the Zulus tossed coconuts lo the crowds. Other Negro groups boycotted the festivities. But most of the merrymakers seemed oblivious of rumors of possible racial unrest stemming from the pitched legal battle over the integration of two New Or leans public schools in mid-November and the white boycott of the two schools. Earlier in the 10-day Carnival period, hotels and motels had room aplenty, but by weekend it was difficult lo find accomodations. Night clubs reported landslide busi ness. Levity Fact Rant By L. F.
