2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Frl., July 21, 1961 Astronaut Swam For Safety A her Bio wing Escape Hatch ABOARD USS RANDOLPH (AP Astronaut Gus Grissom had to blow the escape hatch of his space capsule and swim for about 70 feet today after the craft began sinking in the Atlantic Ocean. The capsule plummeted to the bottom in 280 fathoms about seven minutes after Grissom swam to safety. A Marine helicopter plucked him from the ocean within two minutes after he swam away from the sinking spacecraft. According to space agency reports, Grissom had asked to remain in the cap sule for several minutes to check instruments. This indicated he believed he had ample time to accomplish .this before attempting to leave the vehicle. It was reported later that his space suit was buoyant and he was never in danger of sinking, State Police Probe 2 Auto Accidents Two non-injury accidents, which resulted in damage to the auto mobiles involved, were Investiga ted by Oregon State Police Thurs day. Both occurred at highway construction projects. One occurred near the Fair grounds at 1:10 p.m., when Peter I.awson of Vancouver, B.C., trav eling north on the inside lane of a four-lane section of highway, pulled to a stop at a construction barricade blocking this lane. The second car, owned and operated Dy Josepn Maurice Stickley, Eu gene, traveling behind him was unable to stop and skidded into the British Columbia car. The Eu gene car had to be towed from the scene by Mohr's wrecker. The second accident occurred about 20 miles north of Roseburg on the Highway 99 roadway wid ening project. According to the police report, a car operated by Herbert Mar shal Waggoner, Oakland, with three passengers, was headed north and stopped near a flagman. Another car operated by William Assad Edwards, Los Angeles, with three passengers, was also head ed north behind him. The third car involved was operated by Mark Dean Walker of Lorane, with one passenger. He was headed south and had just cleared the intersec tion. Walker told police he observed the Edwards car and thought it was going too fast to stop, so he stopped instead. Edwards attempt ed to go between the two stopped cars and collided with both of them. Mac's wrecker was called and towed the cars from the scene.

(AP) A weary band of mud-caked men began anew today a search they prayed would be fruitless. A flash flood here already had taken 17 lives. They hoped a half dozen people still listed as missing had escaped. "It's our worst disaster," the Charleston Mayor, John Shanklin, said sadly. "We won't know for a long time just how bad it is." One state official estimated prop erty damage alone in West Vir ginia's capital city would amount to $5 million. Dazed survivors started return ing to the ravines where their homes once stood. They looked. Rainfall Heavy They saw what had happened when a torrent of water, fed by nearly six inches of rainfall, had swept through the valley late Wednesday night. They wandered up and down the hill-imprisoned streets. They poked about the debris, afraid they would find relatives last seen before the deluge. About 50 houses were splin THE OFFICE OF Dr. H. K. Williams, Jr. CHIROPODIST - FOOT SPECIALIST 431 S. E. Main St. Will Be Closed Until Mon., July 24 , Appoints May Be Made By Calling ORchard 3-7066 At Any Time but he went under water briefly1 in the wake of the helicopter blades and when he went aboard his first words were: "Give me something to blow my nose. My head is full of sea water." It was not immediately clear what had gone wrong. There were some conflicting re ports at first that a helicopter had pulled the astronaut up by harness and that the two-ton spacecraft was dropped by another helicop ter. If the Liberty Bell 7 had fallen a great distance from any recov ery ship, Grissom might have been in peril. The capsule carried an emer gency life raft for such emer gencies. As it was, the capsule splashed into the Atlantic at 7:36 a.m., about 16 minutes after it blasted off from Cape Canaveral. The helicopter originally as signed to make the pickup of the astronaut did not do so because it developed engine trouble. The first backup helicopter team, consisting of Capt. Phillip Upschulte of Quincy, III., and Lt. George Cox of Eustis, I'la., picked up Grissom. The Marines reported that Gris som blew the hatch of his capsule prior to the time he was expected to and before the helicopter had hooked a line onto it. The sinking time of the capsule, once it starts to fill with water, is about 10 seconds. The primary helicopter, flown by Lt. James Lewis of Lufkin and Houston. Tex., with Lt. John Keinhard of Bloomington, 111., even though suf fering from engine trouble, tried to save the capsule. Lewis and Keinhard were in ra dio voice contact with Grissom and said he gave no indication he was in trouble. The astronaut requested that they wait a few minutes before starting the recovery operation while he made readings of his in struments. The copter hovered above about 11 minutes. "Then we suddenly saw the hatch blow off," Lewis related. 'We were only about 10 to 20 feet from the capsule. Water began pouring in through the hatch. We couldn't tell whether water had started entering before that but Miller Remains On Critical List Ralph Olin Miller, 60, Collage Grove, still remains on the critical list at Douglas Community Hospi tal where he was taken Wednes day morning following an automo bile accident on Roberts Mountain. lie was crushed against the steering wheel after the vehicle dropped 31 feet over the side of the mountain. Also remaining in critical condi tion is Myron Scvert Iverson. 23. of Umpqua. He received head in juries in a one-car accident early luesday morning near Sutherlm. He is still unconscious at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene, where he was taken following the mis. hap. Still another on the critical list and unconscious is John Mathcw Cotnam, 16, of Dillard. He was accidentally shot in the head by a .22 claiber rifle June 9 while hunting squirrels in the Elgarose area with another youth, lie is also a patient at Sacred Heart Hospital. .' . . tered by the flood. Countless cars wcro battered beyond salvage. The waters chased an estimated 500 families from their homes. Gov. W..W. Barron asked Presi dent Kennedy to declare Charles ton and surrounding sections a dis aster area, eligible for federal aid. "Hardship and suffering are so severe," Uarron told Kennedy, "that the federal assistance is re quired to supplement the limited aid state and local authorities arc able to render." Kennedy replied he had ordered an immediate report. Tho disaster, said the President, "is of great concern to me." Offers of vehicles and rescue equipment flowed in from cities throughout the Kanawha and the Ohio Valleys. Assistance was pro offered by Dallas, Tex. "lt makes you feel good." said the mayor, "to find out how ev erybody is pulling together in this time of need." He said it may be a monlh, though, before all city services are back to normal. Many Homes Damaged United Fuel Gas Co. said 80 we had no warning from Grissom before the hatch blew. Keinhard said Grissom "swam out of the capsule and swam away." Walter Williams, Project Mer cury operations director, told a Cape Canaveral news conference: "We do not know exactly the de tails of what happened in the re covery area. "We do know," he said, "that the capsule hatch was opened be fore the helicopter was attached firmly and it began flooding. The first helicopter continued to try to save the capsule but could not ne cause of the great amount of wa er. "When the capsule started to sink, Grissom had to leave it, Williams said. . Williams reported that doctors on the Randolph said that Grissom was in "excellent condition and good spirits, but very disappoint ed at the loss of the capsule."

In all, nearly 600 customers were without gas until Thursday night and today. On one litter-strewn stream bank, Mrs. Enid Hossie recount ed her night of horror. "When the water started swirl ing down the hollow, I called our preacher to have In in pray for us. But there wasn't time to pray." Just before dawn, bob Rurgt'ss walked to his car to inspect the damage. Ho stepped on something spongy. "I thought it was a cushion." he said, "but it was a woman's body." Woman Was Stranger In a community where everyone knows everyone, this woman was a stranger. Her body had been swept in by floodwaters. K. W. Orndurtf and his family lived in a house near the mouth of a hollow. They had retired for the evening, but were aroused by noises outside. "1 looked out the front door." he said, "and there was a two story house floating down the street, lt was just a mass of loose boards. And 1 heard screams up the way." The house where Mrs. Waller llmlnall lived with her husband and their four children was intact. But it had been lifted from its foundation and dropped into the water.

OR 3-719S Eichmann, Gestapo Bosses Spelled Out Doom Of jews JERUSALEM (AP) Adolf Eichmann admitted today he joined his Gestapo bosses in three rounds of brandy after they drew up the plan to exterminate Eu rope's Jews. The admission was extracted by Jtidge Izhak Raveh as the former SS officer neared the end Log Haul Permit Meeting Slated Log truckers interested in the ramifications of a new hauling permit law can learn more about them Monday at a meeting in the Douglas County Courthouse audi torium in Roseburg at 7:30 p.m. The authority to be featured at the meeting is James Singleton, superintendent of the Motor Di vision of the Public Utilities Com mission. The meeting was arranged by Sen. Al Flegcl in an effort to clear up confusion some truckers have about the law passed by this year's legislature. Basically, the law gives the PUC authority to accept or turn down permit re quests by contract log haulers. Hegel said the law does not in clude private haulers, but they are invited anyway. The purpose of the new law is to give protection to log haulers against sudden influxes of log truckers from other areas, de pressing the economic condition in the area in question. The law requires that anyone wishing to engage in hauling logs, poles or pilings must make appli cation to the PUC showing "need and necessity," Flegel said. lt is one of three laws involving truckers which were vetoed by the governor in the 1959 session. Those three were permit authority, es tablishment of minimum rates and repeal of flat fee option of pay ment of mileage tax. P'legel said the rest of the Doug las County legislative delegation, Reps. W. O. Kelsay and Sidney Leiken, are expected to attend the meeting also. T Camp Openings Are Still Available Registrations may still be made for Roseburg's YMCA Camp Tal- tree. The announcement was made to day by John Johnson, program secretary.

For the first week, Aug. 6 through 13, boys 9 years of age are being accepted. The second week is being planned for older boys (11 through 14) to include such activities as mountain climb ing. Johnson said the boys are given individual attention and guidance in crafts, sports and outdoor living. "The benefits from such camping is seen as the campers begin to take on new self-reliance and at titudes of independence," Johnson said. The camp also includes the fa cilities of a 30-by-60-foot swimming pool for both recreation and in struction classes. Boys who wish may still sell butter toffee peanuts and earn money toward expenses at the camp. For instruction on this and the camp itself, the YMCA office in Roseburg may be contacted.

Reminded Of Conference Raveh, one of the three Israeli justices who will decide if Eich mann bangs, reminded the de fendant of the Wannsee (Berlin) Conference of Jan. 20, 1942, at which Reinhard Heydricb, chief of the Gestapo and security po lice, spelled out the doom of the Jews as instructed by Hitler. The judge noted that after the meeting, Heydrich, SS Gen. Hein rich Mueller and Eichmann re mained behind. "Why were you drawn into that as the third man? Why was Eich mann there?" the judge asked. "I had to write the minutes of the meeting," Eichmann replied. "Oh, no, that came later," Ra veh said. Had Three Brandies "We sat around the fireplace and I had a brandy, no, two, no three brandies," the defendant said in a faltering voice. Raveh compelled Eichmann to repeat his earlier testimony that Heydrich was "overjoyed" to find various officials of the foreign and interior ministries enthusias tic about the death plot. By his interrogation, the judge pinpointed what Atty. Gen. Gid eon Hausner has been contend ing through the 15-week long trial that Eichmann as chief of the Jewish affairs for the Gestapo was just about "the third man" and very near the top in spite of his relatively low rank of lieu tenant colonel. Raveh recalled that Eichmann testified he felt "like Pontius Pi late" after the Wannsee Confer ence. You told the court that you felt like Pontius Pilate that you washed your hands of this whole affair. How do you feel about this now?" Eichmann replied: "I cannot wash my hands in innocence to day because retroactive laws in criminate me." i Explanations Demanded Judge Raveh confronted Eich mann with several contradictions and demanded explanations. He noted the defendant in his pretrial examination by Israeli police after his .capture in Argen tina 15 months ago had said he attended a meeting in September 1939 when extermination was dis cussed. "The record of the meeting listed me as a participant but in checking everything else later I found I could not have been there because I was in Vienna," Eichmann explained. "Are you sure?" the judge asked. "It is important because if it is correct, you knew all the time what was in store." Eichmann reiterated he was not at that meeting and insisted he first knew of the extermina tion plot when it was outlined at the Wannsee Conference. Then, he said, he was caught -in the mesh of wartime orders and had no other choice but to go along. Man Found Innocent On Contributing Count James Donald Griffith, 21, Rose burg, was found innocent of a charge of contributing to the de linquency of a minor in a trial before Municipal Judge Warren Woodruff Thursday. The charge al legedly involved giving liquor to a minor. ' In another city case, Herman Lee Griffin. 19, of 1215 Kester Rd pleaded guilty to being a minor in possession of liquor, and was fined $25 and 55 costs. He was also fined $5 and $5 costs for failure to stop at a stop sign. When the city of ficer stopped his car for the traffic offense lie found beer in the car, it was reported. He was committed to the city jail in lieu of payment of the fines. Clarence Virgle Carter of 935 SE Mill St., forfeited bail of $35 on failure to appear and answer to a disorderly conduct charge.

Registra- Flier's Wife Sorry Capsule Was Lost NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) Petite Betty Moore Grissom said today she was "happy" her hus band's space flight was a success "but I am so sorry the capsule was lost." "I've always known it would be a success," the wife of astronaut Virgil I. Grissom told newsmen on the lawn of her home perched on the bank of a small lake. "We achieved a first today the boys and I talked by telephone to Gus as he lay flat on his back in the capsule before it was launched. "He said if we stopped talking he could go to ' sleep," she laughed. Mrs. Grissom emerged from her home shortly after her hus ban was landed aboard the air craft carrier Randolph. She was accompanied by her two sons, Scott, 11, and Mark, 7. "Scott clapped his hands when the rocket went up," Mrs. Gris som said. "And I whistled, too," Scott added. Scott said he would have liked to be with his father on the space fUght. A reporter told Mrs. Grissom that her husband tidied up the space craft before he left it, and asked her if he was as tidy at home. "He does not pick up things around the house very well," Mrs. Grissom replied. Mrs. Grissom said that "the last few seconds before liftoff" were the most tense for her. Asked if she prayed during her husband's flight, she re plied, "Certainly." She was asked if she would like for Grissom to be the first as tronaut to make an orbital flight. "I think I would, because he would," she replied. The 5-foot-l Mrs. Grissom, 33, is a native of Mitchell, Ind., as is her husband.

(Gus) Grissom arrived on this island to day for 48 hours of rest after his space flight. He stepped down from an or ange and silver plane to be greet ed hy James E. Webb, ad ministrator of the national space agency. "Congratulations on a wonder ful job," Webb said. Grissom thanked him and shook hands with fellow astronauts Wal ter Schirra and John H. Glenn Jr. "You're looking good," Schirra told him. Noting that Grissom rode in the co-pilot's seat of the plane that brought him from the aircraft car rier Randolph, Webb remarked: "I see you are not tired of fly ing." "Not a bit," Grissom replied. It was the first time Webb had ever seen a rocket launched. He said today's feat was "splendid." Grissom, wearing an orange fly ing suit and silver boots, rode to the aluminum hospital about a mile away with Capt. Hugh May, Air Force commander of this mis sile tracking station.

Grissom's father felt mostly fear "pride ran second" while his son rocketed into space and back today. At one point, railroad signal man Dennis Grissom walked into the kitchen away from the tele vision account of hit son's flight. Grissom's mother stuck out every tense moment. . The Grissoms looked drawn and tired after their son was plucked from the sea, as if mentally they had been guiding Virgil all the way. But they cheerfully got ready to ride in a parade with the high school band, this little southern Indiana town's (pop.' 3,' 550) one fire truck and anybody else who wanted to fall in. "It was the longest 15 minutes I ever lived through," the stocky, graying railroader said. "You wouldn't realize 'this Unless you had a son up there." How did he feel when Grissom's space capsule sank beneath the sea after the astronaughf was plucked from it? ' "I was proud he was out of it," the father said. "They can get an other capsule." A reporter asked whether there were any tears during the flight. "What do you think?" said Mrs. Grissom. "What would you do?" The Grissoms went on a family picnic Thursday night with about 30 relatives "mostly my wife's," Dennis said. But their nerves were still on edge when they got home, partly because Grissom's flight had al ready been postponed twice, and they didn't get to sleep until about 1 a.m. A daughter, Wilma Beavers, Rhonda, 12, Joan, 10, and Linda, 9, spent the night with them. Would he like to see Virgil make an orbital flight? "I think 15 minutes is long enough." What about a moon flight? "Well, yes," said the father, "if he can do it safely." "No. Never, said the mother.
