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."
Nine riders from New Orleans
and eight from Montgomery, Ala.

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

The officer said the accused
including five former junta mem
bers, were picked up last Mon

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.
Myrtle Creeker Gets
Top York Rite Award
Roy Edgar Critchfield of Myrtle
Creek has been awarded the desig
nation of the Knight of the York
Cross of Honour, according to Stan
ley Wakefield, grand registrar-general
of the organization in New
York.
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.
He served as master of Maple
Lodge of Masons in 1955, high
priest of Laurel chapter. Royal
Arch Masons, in 1958; master of
l aurel i Council, Royal and Select
Masters, in I960; and commander

speed is 1,500 miles per hour.
"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.

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.

number of operations carried out
under the Zidell name. It special

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

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.

He added: "I guess that's why

he will seek immediate action by

Newkirk, who was en route to
Hawaii, remains in jail.
He told police: "all I re
