world's record for going up to
prove this important point about
coming down:
That an astronaut doesn't have
to ride back to earth as a prison
er in a falling capsule but can
fly safely through the earth's at
mosphere in a winged craft and
land where he wishes.
Air Force ll-ij. Bob White
Wednesday set a new world's al
titude record for winged flight, 40
miles, and then made a belly
flopping reentry into . the atmos
phere which cracked the wind
shield of the rocket plane.
The plane dropped spread-eagle
into the atmosphere the way a
diver belly-flops into a swimming
pool. The stress and friction heat
would have torn a conventional
Diane apart.
The method spreads the heat of
re entry over a large area ot the
plane. Wednesday's successful
flight proved techniques which
may be used in re-entries on fu
ture Dyna - Soar and Apollo
manned orbital flights in winged
rocket craft, scientists said.
White said the windshield broke
as the plane hit the thickening
atmosphere at 60,000 or 70.000
feet. He said the crack, on the
outer glass panel of the XlS's
windshield, didn't interfere with
his control of the plane.
The temperature on the XlS's
surface reached 900 degrees 300
under the maximum the X1S was
designed to withstand.
White reached an altitude of
215.000 feet more than eight
miles higher than the previous
X15 record, 169,600 feet. His top
sneert was S.477 miles an hour,
under the X15'i previous record
of 3,645.

tional Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration s space center here,

After Speech
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (AP)
Stung by an unprecedented cen
sure from the General Assembly,
South African Foreign Minister
Eric Louw today awaited instruc
tions from his government amid
new speculation the republic may
quit the United Nations.
Louw angrily charged that the
censure of his policy speech by
an overwhelming vote of 67-1 was
part of a prearranged campaign
by African nations to smear his
government.
"We had been forewarned this
would happen," Louw declared
after a parade of African dele
gates denounced his speech as in
sulting to their governments and
the African people.
African delegates were infuriat
ed by Louw's charge that many
of the African governments were
attacking his government to di
vert attention from appalling
economic conditions and illiteracy
in their own countries. The Atri
cans also resented his announce
ment that South Africa would con
tinue its policy of . apartheid
strict race segregation despite
the U.N.'s disapproval.
South Africa walked out of the
General Assembly six years ago
when its white supremacist poli
cies were censured. It has threat
ened to pull out of the U.N. alto
gether if pushed too far.
Recalling the warning, dele-
gates noted that this was the first 1 honorary degree, make a speech'521 ,or construction of the hospi

Earlier this year, ocoule in the

At the conclusion of the board

"Hospitals," he said, "are badly

doesn't do it all. Areas of Oregon
needing additional help in hospital
construction should seek ways of

Green Gets Federal Grant
For New Disposal System
In the Green area, 1961 should
be known ai the year ot victory
for the Green Sanitary District
Board of Directors.
Another triumph was noted today
by U. S. Sen. Maurine Neubcrger.
She said the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare had ap
proved a grant for construction of
a sewage stabilization pond, pump
ing stations and force main for
the district's proposed sewage dis
posal system. The grant was in the
sum of 52.170. Total cost of the pro
ject will be 203,900.
This approval came on the heels
of a decision in August by the
stale that it would buy 155,000
worth of bonds to finance construc
tion of the sewer facilities.
Gordon Carlson, attorney for the
district, said in Koseburg today
the grant from the federal govern
ment will mean less that has to
be paid by the taxpayers in the
district for the disposal system.

JFK Sees No

WASHINGTON (AP) Presi.
dent Kennedy sees no easy or ear

which have pushed mankind to, as
he views it, the gravest danger
point in all history,
"There still are very major dif
ferences." he says, between the
Wesl-rn powers and the Soviet Un
ion. The talks he and Secretary of
State Dean Rusk have had with
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A.
(romyko in the last few weeks
have failed to produce immediate
hope of achieving agreement on
Berlin. Kennedy told his news con
ference Wednesday.
U.S. Rightfully Concerned
"Our ambition is to protect our
vital interests without a war which
destroys and doesn't really repre
sent a victory for policy" Kennedy
said. He added that Americans are
rightfuUy concerned in this age of
annihilating weapons because: "We
happen to live in the most danger
ous time in the history of the hu
man race."
Other areas of conflict exist out
side Germany, he said and an
nounced he is dispatching Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor for an on-scene
survey of South Viet Nam.
Taylor, the President's military
adviser, leaves Sunday and will
meet witn Vietnamese President
Ngo Dinh Diem and U. S. officials
to discuss ways of helping South
Viet isam cope with expanding
Communist attacks.
Taylor also may visit Laos and

16th news conference in Washing

and the first opened to televising

Kennedy, wearing his usual newt
conference dark blue suit and pur
pie tie, provided a few chuckle
but for the most part waa solemn
in tone and manner.
Declaring "we move through
period of maximum hazard." he
ticked off steps his administration
has taken in an effort to build up
the country's nuclear and conven-
tional forces. That buildup haa
dashed hope for a tax cut next
year, he said. The government still
aims for a balanced budget an
aim he said is threatened only by
further demands for defense spend
ing. Kennedy made no promise
against a tax increase but said he
wouldn't want to saddle the coun
try with a tax burden that would
strangle its economic resources.
At present, the engineering firm
of Cornell, Howland, Hayea and
Merrifield of Corvallis is in the
work. The firm is running survey
lines for a road to the proposed

An official of the British Em
bassy in Pretoria is flying here
to arrange for the transportation
of the islanders to England. Only
about a doren of the islander

automobile or town.
Officials said it would not be
safe for anyone to touch foot on
the island until at least 10 day
after the eruptions end.
There was some doubt whether
the 4-square mih uland cover
ed mostly by a 7.640-foot volcano
ever would be htflitable again.
