Ike Says Peace Corps
Is Juvenile Experiment
NEW YORK (AP) Former
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
says the Kennedy administration
is "confusing me and all my
iriends."
In one of his sharpest attacks
on the Democratic administra
tion. Eisenhower said Tuesday
night federal fiscal policies are
"shrinking dollars." He called
the Peace Corps a "juvenile ex
periment" and suggested Peace
Corps members might be sent to
the moon.

rally in support of State Atty.

Satellite Detects
Blast Of Missile
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
The new .Midas IV spy satellite
detected a Titan missile as it
roared away from the cape on a
(.100-mile test flight Tuesday
Bight, an official reported today.
The launching was timed when
Midas IV whirled 2,100 miles
overhead to determine if infrared
sensing devices in the satellite
could pick up the exhaust trail
of the Titan and relay the infor
mation to a ground station.
"The Midas spotted the Titan
about 90 seconds after it lifted
off,'" the official said. "Water va
por and other elements in the at
mosphere probably prevented it
from locking on the exhaust trail
sooner. On the basis of prelimi
nary examination, we consider it
a good test."
Similar successful experiments
were conducted with the Midas
111 satellite launched earlier this
jear.
At 90 seconds, the Titan was
about 40 miles high, heading for
its ninth straight success. i
Midas IV was launched from :
Point Arguello, Calif., last Satur
day in another experimental fir-1
ing aimed at developing a system
of missile detection satellites able
to provide the united Mates wun
30-minute warning of an enemy
rocket attack.
The Air Force announced the
Titan met all the test objectives in
one of a final series of flights be
fore the weapon becomes opera
tional late this year.

running for re-election, has given
the city a diet of "indecision and
vacillation."
But he levelled most of his cri
ticism at Washington Democrats.
The confusion among New York
Democrats is a spring zephyr.
Eisenhower said, wnen compared
with the tornado of confusion in
Washington.
He said he is confused at what
the Kennedy administration is
getting at with its fiscal policy.
"One day the nation is told the
federal budget is balanced, and
the next that it will produce a
56 7-biliion deficit," he said.
"I believe this nation is in a
time of prosperity if we can't
pay our debts, what's going to
happen?" he asked.
Citing the experience of other
nations with inflation, Eisenhower
suggested U.S. currency might
come to he known as "dollarettes,
there'd be so many more of
them."
Turning to the Peace Corps a
Kennedy administration project
the former president said: "If
you want to send a man to the
moon, send a Peace Corps mem
ber up there. It is an underdevel
oped country."
Eisenhower said there was
"postcard evidence" that Peacs
Corps members "did not even
know what an underdeveloped
country was, so you can see why
I am confused."
His reference was to the girl
Peace Corps member who set off
an international incident when a
postcard she wrote describing
primitive conditions in Nigeria
fell into the hands of Nigerians.
The Republican gathering in the
New York Coliseum was a combi
nation fund-raising dinner and
rally. The SlOO-aplate dinner
reaped $100,000 for the city GOP.
Speakers at the dinner in ad
dition ttf Eisenhower and Lefkow
itz included Gov. Nelson A. Rock
efeller, U.S. Sens. Jacob K. Jav
its and Kenneth B. Keating of
New York, former Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey. Rep. Paul A. Fino, the
GOP candidate for City Council
president, and city comptroller
candidate John J. Gilhooley.

County Gets
$1.3 Million
From USFS
Douglas County is to receive SI,
3S2.168.18 as its share of receipts
from national forests within its
boundaries.
State Treasurer Howard C. Bel
ton reports receipts of the sum of
$10,224,466.96 as the annual 25 per
cent distributive share to Oregon
counties from Forest Service re
ceipts. The total is approximately
$2.4 million less than 1960s rec
ord high of $12.6 million.
Formula Explained
Under provisions of federal law
25 per cent of the total receipts
from forests go to the states for
disbritution to the counties in
which the forests are located. Each
county's share is in proportion to
the acreage of national forest land
within the county. The law pro
vides that 75 per cent shall go to
the road fund and 25 per cent to
the school funds of the counties.
Regional Forester J. Herbert
Stone reports that Lane County,
which is receiving $2,610,866.20
leads Oregon recipients. Douglas
County is next in line. Lane Coun
ty gets receipts from the Willam
ette, Umpqua and Siuslaw forests.
Douglas County's money comes
from the I'mpqua, Willamette,
Siuslaw and Rogue River forests.
National forests contribute to lo
cal welfare in many ways. Stone
points out. In addition to a coun
ty's direct receipts, the national
forests make permanent improve
ments and payroll payments and
expend other money in manage
ment activities.
O A C Contributes
In addition to the year's total
receipts from national forest land,
$3,441,246.17 was collected from
Oregon and California grant lands
administered by the Forest Serv
ice. Receipts are deposited with
the Department of Interior for dis
tribution by the Bureau of Land
Management.
Counties are credited with 75 per
cent of income from O & C lands.
Actually, however, they permit 25
per cent, or more, to go back into j
roads and recreational improve-!
ments on the land. They are paid
approximately 50 per cent.
Eighteen western Oregon coun
ties share in the distribution of
O & C receipts. Douglas County,
largest in area in western Oregon,
receives almost 25 per cent of tho
total.
Tshombe To Free
U. N. Prisoners
LEOPOLD VILLE, the Congo
(AP) Katanga President Moise
Tshombe ha, formally accepted
ratification of the Katanga-U.N.
cease-fire and agreed to hand
over about 190 Irish and Scandi
navian prisoners this afternoon,
the U.N. Command announced.

oost office and radio station taken

The U.N. Command had feared
that the strong-willed Katanga

tions attached to the accord by
the U.N. secretariat so that it
would in no way recognize Tshom
be's claim to independence from
the central Congolese government.

Cromyko Says
Soviets Will
Sign Treaty
MOSCOW (AP) Foreign Minis
ter Andrei A. Gromyko said today
g'the Soviet Union is making every
nist party congress that if this,
fail, the Soviet Union will go
ahead and sign a separate peace
pact with East Germany.
Following Premier Khrushchev's
lead, however, Gromyko refrained
from repeating earlier Kremlin
ultimatums that this would have
to be done by the end of 1961.
Gromyko's speech or at least
that summary of it which was of-
' f,c,aiy released
immediately
1 seemed aimed at relieving ten
sion.
Nevertheless Gromyko declared
West Germany would become a
cemetery "in which one probably
would not find even grave dig
gers" if German revenge-seekers
and their friends threaten the So
viet Union.
Gromvko told the congress the
Soviet Union is ready "to go to

i V'd "" the foreign policy of
the United States for the develop
ment of Soviet-American relations
all people would rejoice.
As it Is, he said, the world situ
ation still remains tense and un
stable. He claimed. Tass went on, that
more than 40 states now take a
stand on international problems
which "fundamentally coincides
with the positions of the U.S.S.R.
and are adhering, as the U S S R,
does, to a line of peace and peace
ful cooperation."
