The President was understood to have told disarmament chief John J. McCloy that he should make every possible effort in talks beginning at Moscow Mon day to work out arrangements, including details of time, place and the nations which would be invited to attend. Kennedy's meeting with Mc Cloy and Secretary of Stale Dean Kusk was one of two major for eign policy sessions on his calen dar today. The other was a late- Ostrander's Body Found On Umpqua The body of Charles Ostrander, TU. 1, Roseburg, was found on the bank on the south side of the Ump qua River west of Freer Bridge by skin divers on Wednesday evening, according to the Douglas County sheriff's office. The names of the divers were not immediately known. The case was listed as an "ap parent suicide" by County Coroner Dr. John Donnelly. He had been shot in the face, and held a .22 rifle, barrel upward, in his left hand, between his legs. Death Time Uncertain Dr. Donnelly estimated the time of death as a week, plus or minus a few days. He pointed out that in the current heat body decompo sition is rapid, thus making im mediate death pin-pointing some thing of a "guesstimate." The body was located by a pair of skin divers from the Glide area who were seeking lost fishing tack le, according to sheriff's deputies. They noted a strong odor, and con sequently searched along the shore. Approximately 20 feet from the water, in heavy bushes, they located the body. He had last been seen on July 2, a family relative told Dr. Donnelly. His car was found last Thursday, some distance from, the body, on the old North Umpqua Road three fourths of a mile west of the Glide Wilbur cutoff. Dr. Donnelly said that a divorce action had been pending, according to relatives; and that he had threatened suicide on previous oc casions, and had actually attempt ed it, according to relatives. He had been despondent for two years, Dr. Donnelly was told. Relatives Listed He was born in Swansville, Minn., Feb. 17, 1913. He has been a resi dent of the Roseburg area for the past 28 years. During his life he was a carpenter. He was married to Phylis Quine in 1935 in Rose burg. He was a member of the Methodist Church. He is survived by his wife Phylis of Roseburg, and 4 daughters Sharon, Penelope, Peg gy and Susan, all of Roseburg. Graveside funeral services will be held Friday at the Roseburg .Memorial Gardens at 1 p.m. the Rev. John Adams of the Roseburg, Presbyterian Church officiating.

Seven of the children were killed and five others seriously injured. Lightning Gets Blame By ANITA EOIN News Rtview Staff Writer Lightning strikes from mountain storms Wednesday set at least 39 and possibly more fires in t h e Umpqua National Forest. Some are under control and others are still blazing today. Some 19 fires have been report ed in the Diamond Lake District with smokejumpers dropping in on two last night and one this morn ing.

Rusk and other policy makers were sum moned to the NSC session. The last such meeting on Ber lin came two weeks ago. At that time Kennedy assigned to Rusk, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara and other administra tion executives various aspects of the Berlin crisis. They were told to come up with plans and rec ommendations for meeting the Soviet challenge. The steps under consideration include possible reinforcement of the five U.S. divisions in Europe, calling up of National Guard and reserve units, and the declaration of a national emergency to in crease presidential powers. U. S. officials say they are de termined to make every possible effort to come to some agreement with Soviet leaders on new disarm ament negotiations, but they face the future with dwindling hope of success. Opinion Is divided on the ques tion, but many authorities in high position here see little prospect of progress in disarmament talks at this time. The reason: the tough aggressive attitude which Soviet Premier Khrushchev recently has been developing toward the United States and its allies, primarily over Uie Berlin issue. The announcement by Khrush chev last weekend that he had or dered a halt in previously sched uled cutbacks in the strength of the Soviet armed forces has been taken here as typical of the tough, tension - creating policy which he now pursues. His statement In Moscow this week that the Soviet Union wouid use force if necessary to- protect its security interests against any United Nations decision that might threaten those interests is consid ered in Washington to be in the same vein of tough talk.

Established 1873 24 Local Road Jobs Closed By Strikers The crippling strike of Hoisting and Portable Engineers in Oregon and southwestern Washington spread to Douglas County today. The members of the union on the Washington Ave. Bridge construc tion project walked off the job at 11 a.m. Wednesday and pickets were established. Meanwhile three other highway projects in the coun ty had been closed down. The disconcerting development will result in a delay of completion of the bridge, which city officials earlier this week estimated would be early November. City Manager John Warburton said it's now "any body s guess" when the bridge will be finished. City Uneasy He said the city is uneasy that the strike may affect other proj ects in the city. Several paving and sewer projects are under way, the biggest being the East Roseburg sanitary sewer system. Meanwhile in Portland, represen tatives of the union scheduled an olher negotiating session here to day with the Associated General Contractors, under direction of fed eral mediators.

The French leader in a televi sion speech warned the Soviets mey are creating a crisis over the former German capital that inreaiens me peace of the world. De Gaulle charged the Soviets with calling for peace "while for mulating ..requirements ..which threaten to put it in danger." "The Soviets are renewing their threat of unilaterally settling the fate of Berlin ... if Washington, London and Paris do not give up the present status of the town as required by Moscow," he said, then warned: "1 declare once more, there is no chance of this being accepted." Soviets Warned He further warned the Soviet Union it must bear the full re sponsibility for any "grave con sequences" of a crisis over Ber lin. At the same time he called for an atmosphcro of true cooper ation and coexistence in which "a problem like that of Germany would lose much of its bitterness and might, at some moment, be considered objectively by the in terested powers." De Gaulle told his own nconle that France must speedily pur- cnase modern arms to replace the World War II weapons that most of her forces have. Starting in September, he said, the length of French draftees' military service win ne cut ny an unspecified saved will be used to modcrnite the army.
