School To Oppose
Proposed Access
The Roseburg School Board Wed
nesday night voted to stand pat on
its earlier decision to oppose state
Highway Department plans for con
struction of an access road from
the proposed SE Washington Ave.
bridge to the Highway 99 freeway.
The School Board has objected
to the plan because it tales away
high school property, does not fa
cilitate better bus facilities and
because it feels it will not offer
any real relief to the traffic prob
lem in the area.
The Highway Department plan
calls for constructing a street run
ning from W. Military to W. Harv
ard Ave., starting between W. Ma
drone and W. Corey Sis. The High
way Department said last week it
will not proceed with the plan until
all groups involved agree to it.
Both the School Board and the
city Planning Commission have
voiced objection to the plan.
The board also voted Wednesday
night to stand pat on another pre
vious decision not to add an
other water main to the existing
mains at Joseph Lane Junior High
School. Rural Fire Chief Cliff
Thrasher has said there is not
enough water pressure available
now to stop a good-sized fire at
the school. The board voted against
the issue before because they felt
the insurance savings possible
through addition of a $17,000 main
would not offset the cost of instal
lation. Shrine Visit Slated
The official divan visitation by
officers of the Hillah Temple of
the Shrine Club is scheduled in
Roseburg Friday night.
The meeting for the officers who
have jurisdiction of Southern Ore
gon in the Shrine Club organiza
tion will start at 7:30 with a social

ber of the board. Benedict will be

this week, Bert Kleiner was hired
to replace C. A. Dysjnger as prin

Probe Of US
Space Effort
WASHINGTON (AP)-Rep. Vic
tor Anfuso, D-N.Y., a member of
the House Space Committee, to
day called for a congressional in
vestigation of the nation s man-in-space
program.
"I want to see this country mo
bilized to a wartime basis "be
cause we are at war," he said.
"1 want to see schedules cut
in half. 1 want to see what NASA
says it's going to do in 10 years
done in five. I want to see some
first coming out of NASA such as
a landing on the moon which I
know can be done if we go im
mediately into development of a
solid fuel booster."
Ruts Feat Discussed
Anfuso's statement was issued
as the House Space Committee
discussed the Soviet feat of send
ing a man around the world in
a minutes as reported by Tass,
the Soviet news agency.
The committee shifted its hear
ing to the largest meeting room
in the House Office Building, and
it was well attended with James
Webb, director of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration, and Deputy Director Dr.
Hugh L. Dryden on hand for
questioning.
Webb told the committee the
U.S. space program is designed
to meet the "sound, scientific ob
jectives of this country, not to
match what the Russians may
do."
U. S. Not Behind
Webb agreed with Rep. James
G. Fulton, R-Pa., that the United
States "is not behind the Russians
in over-all space achievements,"
although the Soviets have shown
a sense of urgency and pulled off
"spectaculars" that the United
States has not matched.
Dryden disputed a statement by
Fulton that American intelligence
knew ahead of time precisely
when the Soviets would attempt
their first manned orbital flight.
But Dryden recalled he had said
earlier ,this year that the Sovieta
had the ability to loft a man into
orbit at anytime, and could be
expected to do it in the early
part of this year.
FBI Bullet
Fells Suspect
PORTLAND fAP) An FBI
agent f a t a 1 ly wounded late
Wednesday night a man wanted
for questioning about a Seattle
area bank robbery, chief agent
Joseph Thornton reported today.
Thornton identified him as
Stockton Van Burcn Darneille, S3,
hometown unknown. He was pro
nounced dead on arrival at a hos
pital. Thornton said that when agents
knocked on the door of his motel
room and identified themselves,
he refused to admit them and one
of them opened the door with a
key. He said the man then drew
a gun from his belt and pointed it
at the first agent to come inside.
The agent, not identified, fired
and Darneille fell.
Thornton said Darneille had
been sought mainly in connection
with the armed robbery of the
Tukwila Bank near Seattle Oct.
18, 1960. He said Darneille was
free on bond for a burglary in
Arkansas last December.
Agerjts traced him to the motel,
where he was registered under the
name Frank Turner.

The President's reciuest to In

JFK Rules Out
Cuba Action
WASHINGTON AP) Presi
dent Kennedy has ruled out any
direct intervention in Cuba by
U.S. forces.
Kennedy outlined the U.S. stand
at his news conference Wednes
day in a statement which was as
interesting for what he did not
say as for what he did.
No Armed Forces
Kennedy said "There will not un
der any conditions, be an inter
vention in cuoa ay the u, i. armed
forces."
The American government, he
added, will do everything it can
to make sure no Americans get
involved in any actions inside
Cuba."
"The basic issue in Cuba is not
one between the United States and
Cuba," the President said.
"It is between the Cubans them
selves. I intend to see that we ad
here to that principle."
Kennedy added that it was Ms
understanding that the administra
tion's attitude was understood and
shared by anti-Castro exiles from
Cuba now in the United Slates.
"-Hoe-State Department has been
mum on a variety of reports that
Cubans were being trained in
southern U. S. slates and in Guate
mala, with U.S. aid, for fighting
in Cuba against the pro-Communist
regime of ridel Castro.
Kennedy also said the United
States is against Cubans who wish
to overthrow Castro only to re
establish a dictatorship like that
of Castro's predecessor, Fulgencio
Batista.
Asked about any effort to recov
er the approximately $1 billion
worth of American property
seized in Cuba, Kennedy s a id
Washington would only act
through "formal and normal nego
tiations ' with a free and inde
pendent Havana government after
it comes to power.

million. This, he said, involved an
immense potential for creating
new jobs.
"It is not to be assumed that
all these applications would be
granted, Kennedy said, "but it
can safely be assumed that
more prompt handling of these
matters would release hundreds
of millions of dollars for construc
tion, giving substantial employ
ment throughout the country and
making firm commitments out of
orders for materials that are now
merely contingent orders that in
turn would provide jobs for men
and women in mills, factories and
foundries."
Rate Increases Pending
Further, Kennedy said, there
are now some 4,000 rate increases
by natural gas producers and
pipelines pending before the pow
er commission "and still unre
solved." He noted that such increases
are usually temporarily suspend
ed but said that under existing
law they become effective auto
matically, subject to possible re
funds, six months after the ori
ginal filings unless the commis
sion acts on the proposals one
wav or another.
"This incredible backlog of
cases, consisting frequently of
rate increases piled upon rate in
creases, involved hundreds of mil
lions of dollars deemed ultimate
ly refundable to the consumer,"
he said.
Action Endorsed
In this connection, the Presi
dent endorsed a recommendation
by a Senate subcommittee that
the FPC be empowered to make
sure that any excess rate which
is ultimately disallowed will be
returned to the consumer" by re
quiring deposits of collections in

Administration Keeps Silent
On Russ Space Information
WASHINGTON (AP) The Ken
nedy administration is keeping a
tight lip on information about So
viet space shots and Pentagon of
ficials said today the aim is to
avoid giving the Soviets an idea
of the effectiveness of U.S. track
ing facilities and intelligence.
Officials, who told this to a re
porter, said another purpose was
to deny the Soviet what was
termed advertising on their space
achievements.
A Defense Department spokes
man said that among other things,
there would be no public disclos
ure when U.S. tracking stations
pick up a Soviet rocket launching
until after the Soviets announce it
themselves.
The policy was developed In
meetings among officials of the
White House, the Stato and De
fense departments, the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration and the Central Intelligence
Agency, officials said. They indi
cated it might possibly be changed
at some future time.

Kennedy Waits
Laos Agreement
WASHINGTON (AP)-The Unit
ed States is looking forward to
an agreement this week from the
Soviet Union to a cease-fire in
Laos.
President Kennedy set the ex
pected time for the Soviet reply
at his news cofcrence late Wed
nesday. He expressed hope that
the reply would enable both East-
West leaders to halt their supply
of arms to the opposing forces in
Laos.
Kennedy did not say what would
happen if there were no response
from Moscow. But ne lett a clear
implication that American supplies
would be continued to the royal
government.
The Slate Department already
has warned that any further delay
in Soviet agreement to a cease
fire would be cause for serious
concern in Washington.
The United Slates has insisted
that the shooting he stopped be
fore it sends any delegation to a
14-nation conference to settle the
Laotian crisis.
Kennedy avoided any threats or
bluster. He took issue with reports
earlier this week from official
sources that there hnd been a siz
able increase in the Soviet airlift
of arms to the rebel Patliet Lao
forces. ...... . .
"The Soviet supplies have cm
tinued. but I do not think it is
fair to say, or accurate to say, that

the last few days, Kennedy said.
State Department officials said
the earlier reporta of greatly in
creased boviet supplies wcro the
result of a Soviet airdrop of arms
to rebel forces in a combat zone
near Muong Kassy.
This was initially believed to be
an over-all increase in the Soviet
effort, but apparently the airdrop
was uivei&iuu ui ovvivi piancN
to the combat zone, rather than
an over-all increase.)

Gagarin Says
Space Flight
Is All Work
MOSCOW (AP)-Maj. Yuri A.
Gagarin said today he worked on
his notes, and even ate and drank
while objects were floating around
in the realm of weightlessness as
he orbited the earth, the Soviet
News agency Tass reported.
The Soviet astronaut, Tass said,
described the eerie situation in
tho space ship when weightless
ness took over.
Work All The Way
The entile flight, he assorted,
was work all the way and par
ticularly in that phase.
Even so, he said, he felt ex
cellent during that period of hi'
108-minute flight.
As he waited in the Soviet in
terior for a hero's welcome in
Moscow Friday, the 27-year-old
astronaut told for the first lima
about his experiences as his five
ton space ship hurtled around the
earln. Premier Khrushchev is ex
pected to cut short his vacation
at the Black Sea resort of Sochi
to head the welcoming commit
tee when Gagarin arrives in Mos
cow about noon.
Everything Easy
When he became weightless,
Gagarin said, it became easier to
do everything.
"This is quite natural." he com
mented. "One's legs, arms weigh,
nothing, objects float in the cabin.
Neither did 1 myself sit in the
chair as 1 did before that, but
hung in midair. While in tho state
of weightlessness, I ate and drank
and everything occurred just as it
docs here on earth.
"I even worked in that condi
tion, wrote, jotting down my ob
servations. My handwriting did
not change although the hand does
not weigh anything. Only I had to
noio tne noieoook, otherwise it
would float away. I maintained
communications over different
channels and tapped the tele
graph key."
Gagarin said he learned first
hand that weightlessness don not
deprive a man of an ability to
work, Tass reported.
Transition Smooth
"The transition from weightless
ness to gravitation." he said, "to
the appearance of the force of
gravity, is smooth. One's legs and
arms feci as before, as during
weightlessness, but again acquire
weight. And I am no loneer how.
ered over the chair but eased
myself into it."
As to what he saw from snnrA
Tass said Gagarin reported;
"I did not see the moon. Th
sun in outer space is tens of tlmej
brighter than here on earth. The
stars are visible very well. They
are bright and distinct. The en
tire picture of the firmament is
murn more contrasty than when
seen from the earth."
uaearm said the sunlit aide n
the earth was Quite nlain and hn
could see easily the shores of con
tinents, islands, great rivers, folds
of the terrain, large bodies of wa
ter, lass said.
Farms Seen
Flying over the Soviet Union,
he reported ho could see the great
squares of the collective farms
and could even tell cultivated
from meadow land.
Emphasizing he was no mere
passenger as his space ship cir
cle the earth at a maximum al
titude of 183 miles, Gagarin told
Tass:
"I was entirely concentrated on
carrying out the flight's program.
I wanted to carry out every point
of the assignment and to do It as
well as possible. There was a lot
of work. The entire flight meant
work."
While the space ship was undef
ground control for the landing.
Gagarin helped with the control
phases, Soviet scientists said
when the historic flight was an
nounced Wednesday,
Promised Wtlcom
The hero of the Soviet Union
has been promised a tremendous
reception by Khrushchev.
"Wo shall celebrato with you
with all our people, this great
feat in the conquest of outer
space," fhe premier told Gagarin
by telephone.
Banners were going up In Red
Square, the show case for the
biggest Soviet celebrations. Tall,
silver-colored flag poles were in
place. Crowd barriers were being
put up.
Millions from this capital and
the suburbs will pour out to lino
the route from the airport to Bed
Square.
As he awaited his flight by jet
liner to Moscow, the man few in
the Soviet Union knew before
Wednesday's dramatic announce
ment was the toast of the nation.
Earth Appears Blue
Soviet writers interviewed him
at an air center somewhere in
the interior. He told of the won
ders he had seen from the spaco
ship, of the earth appenring blue
beneath him, the sky black over:
head.
Ho still wore his blue spaco suit
and helmet as he spoke to a cor-
respondent for the armed forces
