2 The Newt-Review, Roieburg, Ore. Mon., July 10, I to i Me w Strength Seen For Pah As Result SEOUL. South Korea (AP)-A wholesale houseclcaning of rival officers appeared today to have strengthened considerably the po sition of South Korea's military ruler, Maj. Gen. Pak Chung-hi. Pak climaxed his purge Sunday by accusing Lt. Gen. Chang Do Young, ousted a week ago as pre mier and head of the ruling junta, and 44 other officers of plotting to assassinate him in an effort to seize control of the government. Pak, moving spirit of the May 16 coup, forced Chang out last Monday, supplanted him as chair man of the junta, and named De fense Minister Song Yo-chan pre mier. Informed sources contend ed, however, that Pak's position as No. 1 man in the government still is not as strong as he would like. The ruling inner circle, called the Supreme Council for National Reconstruction, now consists of 21 army men, 11 of the colonels and lieutenant colonels, 3 marine gen erals and a marine colonel, a vice admiral and an air force briga Case Of 'Freedom Riders' Headed For Federal Test By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A suit to prevent police from arresting "Freedom Riders" and other Negroes seeking to use pub lic facilities in Mississippi headed for a federal court test at Jack son today as the number of rid ers arrested soared to 227. A three-judge federal court planned to hear the injunction re quest filed by tne National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Colored People. The suit attacked what it called unconstitutional state laws re quiring segregated railroad cars, buses, rest rooms and waiting rooms and the posting of segrega tion signs at terminals. Such laws, the suit contended, subject Negroes to "daily public inconvenience, harassment, and embarrassment" and violate rights secured "by the due process clause of the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution."

These men repre sent different backgrounds, es pecially in their military ties, and there is evidence they have dif ferent ideas on how to restore their nation. Treason charges that could carry the death penalty were leveled against Chang and the other officers at a news confer ence called Sunday by the junta An intelligence officer said Chang and the 44 others were caught scheming To assassinate Pak and "other persons in the central force of the revolution. The officer said the accused including five former junta mem bers, were picked up last Mon day after failing in one attempt to stage a counter-coup and while planning another. Chang, who was formerly army chief of staff, was accused of be ing a reluctant joiner of the May 16 coup masterminded by Pak to unseat Premier John M.

A citizens committee at Savan nah, Ga., announced agreement to permit desegregation of down town counters in the wake of a la month boycott.

Soviet Air Show Seen As Warning On Berlin MOSCOW (AP)-The Soviet Un ion showed off its air might Sun day in a dazzling display that struck Western diplomats as a ges ture designed to strengthen Krem lin demands on Berlin. Premier Khrushchev and Cos monaut Yuri Gagarin watched side by side along with a crowd of 50,000 while the Soviet air force paraded a spectacular array of new craft at Moscow's Tushino Airfield. Western experts watching the show first the Soviets have staged since 1958 said the United States has nothing to match several of the entries, including a jet fighter than can light up a liquid rocket engine booster in flight to gain a tremendous rate of climb. The most spectacular attraction shown publicly for the first time was a delta wing bomber the an nouncer said had a speed several times that of sound. The plane looked bigger than the eight-engine U.S. B52 and had four jets, two on the wing tips and two in board below the wings. Western air attaches showed keen interest in a' flypast of 10 heavy supersonic bombers which also made their first public ap pearance. This new model's two engines were mounted on the rear atop the long, slender fuselage. It had high swept wings and was comparable in size to the U. S. B58, whose publicly admitted Eichmann Gets Recess In Trial JERUSALEM (AP) Shaking from lack of sleep and nervous tension, Adolf Eichmann asked for and got a morning recess to day to sleep off the rigors of his long trial. He returned to the wit ness stand in the afternoon, star ing straight ahead with normally impassive demeanor. Eichmann underwent rigorous cross-examination by Atty. Gen. Gideon Hausner during the last court session Friday. This was to have continued this morning but was suspended until the afternoon at Eichmann's request. He slept during the morning on a narrow cot in his solitary con finement cell. The former Gestapo officer, im passive until Hausner cracked his shell last Friday afternoon, was trembling and twitching when he entered his glass-enclosed cage in the courtroom this morning. He sent a note to the tribunal through his defense counsel report ing he had spent a sleepless night and was suffering nervous ten sion. The prison doctor examined Eichmann and said he was "per fectly fit but tired due to loss of sleep." His guards said Eichmann had a bad weekend. "He's got the jitters," one officer said. Eichmann has endured a year of confinement since his capture in Argentina and 13 weeks on trial with seeming calm. He suffered an attack of nerves, described as a momentary heart flutter, the day the trial opened April 11 and a similar attack a month later. But otherwise he presented a rock-like mien. Summer Returns To Tree Capital Summer has once again returned to the Timber Capital or that's the way it looks, according to a report from the Weather Bureau at the Airpurt. The weatherman ' is forecasting a high of 911 today. The next five days will include more of the same, with temperatures expected above normal and weather conditions list ed as dry and warm. No rain is in sight.

It's the highest degree in the York Rite of Freemasonry and is conferred only on those who've held the highest office in each of the four bodies of the rite. He is the 8,503rd Mason to have received this award in the past 32 years in North America, although there are over four million mem bers of the fraternity.

"A very impressive show," said the U. S. air attache, Col. Melvin Neilsen. "It's evident the Russians have continued with the develop ment of all classes of aircraft." Western observers said the show made clear the Soviets are not pinning all their faith on long range missiles alone. The fighters carried air-to-air rockets instead of conventional can non. The new bombers were armed with air-to-surface missiles instead of bombs. The Soviets gave advance billing to a vertical takeoff plane that does not depend on a jet thrust to get it aloft. Called a "screw wing plane" it was a cross between a plane and a helicopter. Two engines were mounted at the end of each wing, and it had two rotors atop each wing making it highly maneuverable and able to carry either troops or freight. Another new model was a three tail jet-powered helicopter that landed and unloaded a cargo of rockets. One novelty was a giant heli copter capable of hauling 180 men. It appeared carrying a wooden house under its belly and landed it on the field. The house was about the size of a large car trail er in the United States. The Soviets spiced up their show with a flypast of 15 helicopters each carrying a trapeze on which sat a pretty girl each dressed in the national costume of one of the 15 Soviet republics. Another crowd-pleasing feature was a mass drop of 600 men with brightly colored parachutes. Air Marshal Konstantin Vershin in who directed the show said in an aviation day article in the So viet Communist party newspaper Pravda that many of the Soviet air force's jets have no equal in the world for speed, altitude and flight range.

Blaze Destroys Big Warehouse PORTLAND (AP) A Zidwell Exploration, Inc., warehouse on the east bank of the Willamette River was destroyed by a spec tacular blaze Sunday afternoon. More than 200 firemen battled to save neighboring warehouse docks, as thousands of spectators watched. Two fireboats poured streams of water onto the blazing dock, as firemen on the bank fought more than two hours to save a Georgia Pacific Corp. dock, just to the south. The G-P building was damaged, and trucks were evacuated from a concrete plant further south. No immediate estimate of the damage to the Zidell building was available. Samuel J. Zidell, president of the company, said an inventory of materials was kept there from a Zidell ship salvag ing operation across the river. The fireboats' access to the flaming dock was blocked for a time by an LST moored there. But a Harbor Patrol Boat darted in, cut the craft loose and towed it away from the flames. The building was unoccupied when the fire broke out, and there were nn reports of injuries to firefighters, except for two Har bor Patrol crewmen, whose hands were burned when they released the LST's moorings. The blaze was the second ma jor fire in Portland in less than 24 hours. Saturday afternoon a $50,000 fire destroyed three trucks and a mobile mixer, at the Ross Island Sand and Gravel Co., about a mile away from Sun day's fire. Zidell Explorations is one of a number of operations carried out under the Zidell name. It special izes in maritime salvage opera tions. Oakland Schools Slate Kindergarten Oakland's public schools will sponsor subscription-supported kin dergarten session, believed to be unique in the state again this year. The program fills the gap left by absence of a regular, tax-supported kindergarten, according to Cecil B. Barnett, Oakland school superintendent. Cost Nominal The school district furnishes the building and tuition is paid by par ents who send their children. The tuition fee is $10 plus $1 for school supplies. Arrangements for trsns-1 portation, however, must be made on an individual basis, as the school system can't run a bus for the purpose. Parents who wish to enroll their children are invited to do so wheth er or not they live in the Oakland School District. Age requirements are that a child has passed his 5th birthday . before the start of the session. He also cannot have been previously enrolled is school during a regular term. Mrs. Shirley Brown, a regular member of the Oakland Elemen tary School staff, will be the in structor this summer. Parents wish ing to enroll a child should be pres ent in Mrs. Brown's room at the primary unit of Washington school at 9 p.m. Monday, July 17. Daily sessions are from 9 to 11:30 and will run through Aug. 18. Further information can be obtained from Mrs. Brown or Supt. Barnett. a. s. I ' All savings placed with us as late as the tenth of any month earn retroactively for the full month 4 TVjVs ASSOCIATION Phone OR 2-2656 Joseph Newkirk, 60, of Argo, 111., was arrested Saturday after threatening two persons aboard United Air Lines Flight 853, carrying 118 passengers from Chicago to Los Angeles. No one was injured. Newkirk, who at first told police he was a salesman, was booked on sus picion of assault. Shortly after takeoff from Chi cago's O'hare Field, investi gators said, Newkirk became en raged because a stewardess tool: away his whisky bottles. Later, as the plane whisked over Ne vada at about 32,000 feet, he be came belligerent, pushed a stew ardess and brandished his knife when a young Marine interceded. The Marine, Pvt. Donald James Schwalbach, of Highland Park, III., slugged and sidearmed Newkirk. The janitor was bound by the crew and held captive in the lounge until Los Angeles police boarded the plane here. After booking Newkirk, police discovered they had no jurisdic tionover a crime allegedly com mitted over Nevada. They called the FBI and the Federal Aviation Agency. The FBI pondered the problem and said they'd have to dis cuss it with headquarters in Washington. The FAA said it could not prosecute Newkirk on a criminal charget but could charge him in a civil action with violating FAA drinking regulations aboard an airliner. Then Asst. U.S. Atty. Tom Sheridan said he knows of no federal statute covering passen gers aboard a plane in interstate flight.

An FAA spokesman here said he will seek immediate action by Congress for emergency legisla tion to cover such episodes. Newkirk, who was en route to Hawaii, remains in jail. He told police: "all I re member is being drunk when I got on the plane." Newkirk said he was going In Hawaii because "I was tired of cooking for myself. I was going over there to look for a rich widow."
