Woman Accuses
Attack Suspect
PORTLAND (AP) A 26-year-old
student, already under investi
gation in the death of a woman,
was accused today of attacking
another woman last summer.
Police arrested Richard Benja
min Schwensen, an education stu
dent at Portland State College,
after Paula Joan Nesting, 31, ac
cused him of breaking into her
home and beating her with a pistol
in an attempt to rape her last
July.
Detective Earl Sims said that
under questioning Schwensen ad
mitted the attack, and then
changed his story about the death
last month of Mrs. Ted Bussey,
29, Portland, who was found dead
in her parked car on a Portland
street last month.
Sims said that Schwensen now
admits that he had sexual inter
course with Mrs. Bussey and was
with her at the time of death. His
earlier story was that he met the
woman at a bar but left her after
she gave him a ride home in her
car.
Sims said Schwensen's story
now is that they parked a while,
and that he drove the car while
they went to Bonneville Dam, the
woman apparently dying while
en route.
Pathologists earlier said the
woman died from an air bubble in
her blood stream.
No charge has been filed in the
death of Mrs. Bussey.
In the case of Miss Nesting,
Schwensen was booked on a
charge of assault. Sims said bond
was set at $50,000.

Group To Study
Campaign Fund
WASHINGTON (AP) President
Kennedy named a nine-member
commission today to atudy wheth
er the government should help
finance the multimillion-dollar
campaign outlays of candidates
for national office.
Alexander Heard, dean of the
graduate school, University of
North Carolina, was named head
of the commission. He is the au
thor of "The Cost of Democracy,"
a book published last year which
deals with campaign financing
questions.
The other members are:
V. O. Key, Cambridge, Mass.,
professor of government, Harvard
College.
Dan Kimball, Los Angeles, pres
ident of Aerojet-General Corp.,
former secretary of the Navy.
Malcolm Moos, New York City,
former administrative assistant

Eisenhower.

and former chairman of the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
Neil Staebler, Ann Arbor, Mich.,
Democratic national committee
man for Michigan.
Walter N. Thayer, president of
the New York Herald-Tribune and
former chairman of the United
Republican Finance Committee of
New York.
John Vorys, Columbus, Ohio,
lawyer and former Republican
member of Congress.
Jame Worthy, Chicago, former
vice president of Sears Roebuck
Co.. who was an assistant secre
tary of commerce in the Eisen
hower administration.
The White House described the
commission as a "temporary, non
partisan, study group." It is to
file recommendations with Ken
nedy next spring.
Present law sets a Mmillion
ceiling on campaign expenditures
by national political committees.
To comply with this, yet spend

Nkrumah's Foes
Charged In Plot
ACCRA, Ghana (AP) Forty
three men, including leading po
litical opponents of President
Kwame Nkrumah, were arrested
Tuesday night on chargei of plot
ting to assassinate hiuj.
Among them were Dr. Joseph
Danquah, opposition candidate in
Ghana's 10 presidential elec
tion; opposition leader Joseph
Appiah, son-in-law of the late Sir
Station! Cripps, once chancellor
of the British Exchequer, and
former Social Welfare Minister
Patrick (juaidoo, ousted from
Nkrumah's Cabinet last May.
Three members of Parliament
and seven women also were ar
rested, the latter on unspecified
charges.
The roundup brought to about
370 the number of persons held
under Ghana'i preventative deten
tion act, which permits Interning
"political undesirables ' up to five
years without trial.
A government statement said
the men arrested had been "de
liberately engaged in activities
calculated to subvert and endan
ger the security of the state."
It accused them of "acts of vio
lence, secret meetings, taking of
secret oaths to assassinate the
president and certain members of
the government, strikes, sabotage
and lockouts."
The security arrests raised new
doubts about a scheduled 10-day
visit next month by Queen Eliza
beth 11 to this former British
colony.
Duncan Sandys, British secre
tary of commonwealth relations,
was in Accra when the arrests
were announced. He came here
this week for talks with Nkrumah
in an attempt to repair recent
strained relations between the two
countries.
Mrs. Nunez Gets
Life Sentence
MADRAS, Ore. (AP) Gertrude
Lee Nunez was sentenced to life
imprisonment this morning for the
first degree murder of her 4-yesr-old
daughter, Martha May Jack
son. Sentencing came two days after
a hearing to determine the pun
ishment. Under a little used Oregon stat
ute, Mrs. Nunez had confessed to
the murder in open court.
On Sept. 26, at the conclusion of
a 10-day trial, Jeannace Freeman.

murder of Mrs. Nunez' son, Law
rence Jackson, 6.
Both children had been thrown
into the Crooked River Canyon on
May 11.
In imposing the lesser sentence
on Mis. Nunez, Judge Kotwrt n
Foley said:
"I feel there are recognizable
differences in motivation between
your crime and that of Freeman.
The state attorney also had rec
ommended life.

Warning Issued
The return to early darkness
heightens traffic hazards in Hose

trians today.
The chief urged pedestrians to
cross streets only when certain I
the way is clear or that oncoming
traffic will stop. j
"Assuming that a driver can !
see you, especially at dusk when!
light conditions are very poor, can j
be a fatal mistake for a pedestri
an." he said.
To improve chances of being i
seen the chief recommends wear
ing some white or light-colored ap-j
parel. This is especially good ad-j
vice for elderly pedestrians and ,
youngsters walking or bicycling
home from some after-school ac
tivity. The chief urged drivers to turn
on headlights during dusk to warn
oncoming traffic of your presence.
Headlights on low beam should be
used at anv time when visibility is
reduced by light or weather condi-j
tions.
Other fall hazards the chief cited
included slippery streets, some
times caused by falling leaves from
nearby trees; fog during heavy
morning traffic; and the presence
of many chddren en route to and

Scientists Say
Titov Got Sick
WASHINGTON (AP) Soviet!
astronaut Gherman Titov was I
somewhat seasick during most of
his 25 hours in orbit ground the j
earth, Soviet scientists reported;
today.
They said preliminary Indies-j
tions were that the nausea was (
the result of extended weightless
ness. In a paper for presentation to
the Intci notional Astronautic Ked-j
eration O. G. Gazenko and V. J.
Vazdovsky of the Soviet Academy
of Sciences noted that neither
l!C Qtrna,,. AN. Ghana:-! whn
spent five minutes under condi
tions of weightlessness, nor Soviet
astronaut Yuri Gagarin, who en
dured zero gravity for .nore than
an hour, noted any comparable
disturbances.
One of the medical questions
raised by the prospect of space
travel has been whether the hu
man system could endure long
periods without the familiar ef
fects of gravity.
The paper said Titov retained
"a sufficient level of working
capacities" at all times and his
principal bodily functions were
not harmfully affected. However,
it continued, he felt during weight
lessness unpleasant sensations as
sociated with the ear chamber.
Balance is regulated in the
inner ear.
These sensations became strong
er and stronger during the flight,
especially when Titov turned his
head sharply or was observing
swiftly moving objects.
For some time after Titov woke
from his nap the sensations de
creased, but they did not disap
pear until he began to feel the
spaceship's deceleration on its re
turn into the atmosphere.
"Thus, the sensation of some
discomfort accompanied the con
siderable portion of the flight and
resembled seasickness," the pa
per said.

Zahredin also accused Cairo

He said Nasser's intelligence

political prisoners and stifled in

"The army's only aim was to

Syria's four non-Communist
