Eisenhower says the Kennedy administration is "confusing me and all my iriends." In one of his sharpest attacks on the Democratic administra tion.

(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. Rayburn Unchanged DALLAS. Vex.

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.

I 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.

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 r"'" '" : ,h "', ". i V'd "" the foreign policy of the United States for the develop ment of Soviet-American relations all people would rejoice.

They evidently intended to en force their claim that East Berlin no longer is part of occupied ter ritory but actually the sovereign capital of a sovereign state: Lorn munist-ruled East Germany. The West does not recognize such a claim. The West considers East Germany the Soviet-occupied part or Germany, and Last Berlin the Soviet-occupied sector of the city. If only uniformed personnel of the Allies can cross into the Soviet-occupied sector, then the Al lies would be entering the city solely through the tolerance of the East German authorities.
