Riotous Fun-Making Marks Congo Republic's Birthday BRAZZAVILLE. Republic of the Congo (AP) The "other Con go" celebrated iu third anniver sary of independence with riotous fun-making this week. It was in sharp contrast to the misery and frustration that plague the coun try on the opposite side of the Con go River. That country, formerly under Belgian rule, is known generally a "the Congo." This nation, once the heart of French Equatorial Africa, is formally known as the Republic of the Congo. The residents of the country, in general poorer and more humble than those of the former Belgian Congo, are looking back on three years of relative stability. Kor the week of the anniversary, flags lined the sandy streets of Brazzaville. Foreign diplomats and residents joined in joyous recep tions and multiracial galas. The government gave every Afri can householder a 100-franc certi ficate for their celebration enough to buy a bottle of beer, cheap wine or two Dottles of fizzy lemonade. Every government minister was credited with 200.00 franca ($900) for entertainment money. Minis ters' wives received 100,000 francs to buy the latest-style gowns. Each foreign diplomat was as signed two 17-year-old African girls to stand close by at ladies-in-waiting for the week. At the foreigners' beck and call, the girls fetched drinks, told stories or made themselves attentive and use ful. Brazzaville is normally a sleepy city. Huddling along the river like an American frontier town, the buildings are low ( id spread out. Led for three years by their diminutive president priest, Abbe JFK, McNamara Want Nike-Zeus WASHINGTON fAP) Presi dent Kennedy and Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara have decided to ask Congress for mon ey to start tooling up for produc tion of the Nike-Zeus anti-missile missile. Informed sources said today Kennedy and McNamara had agreed on this at their conference in Hyannis Port, Mass., last week. They conferred on the new mili tary budget to be submitted to Congress next month. It was understood a recent string of test successes influenced the decision. It represents a vic tory for the Army in its long bat tle to get the missile-killing sys tem into production. The Kennedy administration, and the Eisenhower administration be fore it, had refused to allow even a start on limited production of the controversial anti-missile sys tem pending additional tests. Earlier this year McNamara told Congress there were "wide-spread doubts as to whether the Nike Zeus system should ever by de ployed." Now, it has been learned, Ken nedy and McNamara have decid ed there is enough evidence of in dicated success to go ahead with limited production of long lead time items for the system. A factor in the decision could have been what Pentagon sources said was firm information that the Soviets were making a strong ef fort to develop an antimissile sys tem of their own. The Army has contended that a start of production could cut from four to two years the expected time in which an antimissile de fense could be deployed around a limited number of cities. Mark To Dedicate New Eugene Bypass Tuesday SALEM fAPl Gov. Mark Hatfield will dedicate the new Eugene bypass portion of Inter state Highway S with a 9:30 a m. ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday. It will take place at the south end of the new bridge over the Willamette River. Representatives of the city of Eugene. Lane County and the State Highway Department also will participate in the dedication. The four-lane divided freeway hvpass is 2 15 miles long and cost $3,950,000. Unions Plan Use Of Automation To Help Build Ballot Box Wailoa HAL HARBOIR. Fla. AP l.ahor unions, often troubled by advancing automation, are count ing on new machines to help build up organized labor's wallop at the ballot box. James L. McDevitt. director of the AFL-CIO Committee on Po litical Education, said today that computing machines were being used to help improve labor un ion's voting potential. McDevitt said labor member ship rolls and voters' registration lists were being fed into the ma chines to single out the un registered members is order to get them to qualify to vote. This process is going on union by un ion among the AFL-CIO's 12 5 million members. The AFL-CIO political chief has been cautioning officials at union meetings here that they must go lo work to counter the off year congressional election losses tra ditionally incurred by the politi cal party occupying the While House. In that branch of Congress, he said, a gain of 20 House votes cao make an important difference. "Give ns 20 more liberals (in the iiouse ," McDevitt told Build- Fulbert Youlou. these Congolese are probably the African people most loyal to their former rulers in Paris. The people of Brazza ville are also traditionally close to their tribal brothers in the for mer Belgian Congo on both sides of the river the ancient Bakongo tribe predominates. Youlou and Congolese President Joseph Kasa- vubu are Bakongo cousins. Yo'ilou, however, is chummy with Katanga President Moise Tshombe. There is political cool ness between Leopoldville and Brazzaville. For three months the regular ferry service connecting the two was cut off in mutual pique. It was just reopened. Youlou'a preference for Tshom be seems to be based on the French interest in Katanga, the nope oi iinanciai support zrora Tshombe, and a continuing de sire to weaken Kasavubu. Word Puzzle Proves Undoing Of Housewife BALTIMORE. Md. (AP) Crossword puzzles proved the un doing of a Baltimore housewife who is accused of writing threat ening letters to U.S. Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy and Sen. Ed mund S. Muskie, D Maine. Mrs. Sylvia Betty Vale. 45. mother of three children, was ar rested by the FBI Friday and charged with writing the letters threatening the lives of Kennedy and Muskie. Her arrest followed months of work during which the FBI sifted through more than 60.000 entries in a crossword puz zle contest sponsored by the Bal timore News-Post. The newspaper had received suspicious letters to the editor bearing fictitious names. FBI handwriting experts screened all incoming correspondence for six months before they found hand writing on a crossword puzzle en try that matched the writing they sought. Mrs. Vale was charged with writing a letter to Muskie in 1957 and one to Kennedy in 1961. Both involved racial prejudice, accord agent in charge of the Baltimore FBI office. Mrs. Vale and her husband, a cafeteria manager, both came to this country from England in 1949. They have lived in Baltimore since 1951. Mrs. Vale was released under $1,000 bond after preliminary hearing. She admitted writing the letters "But I didn't mean any of it," she said. Christians Seek New Beginnings NEW DELHI. India (AP) Christians were looking backward today in search of new begin nings. Basic and age-old church con cepts were being examined anew as representatives of many de nominations sought approaches to closer unity in faith and func tion. They didn t expect to find agreement on all the fine points. but they were mapping the groundwork and the, aims. The wide-open examination of doctrinal - and operational - posi tions camo as the General Assem bly of the World Council of Churches went into its decisive phase. Key proposals were on tn tioor for action as churchmen of nearly every tradition and culture ana lyzed the issues. A day-long succession of speak ers moved to microphones Fri day to contend over the varying subtle interpretations found in three major proposals on mutual service, mutual witnessing to tne Gospel and ecclesiastical unity. Each of the documents ran to nearly 8.000 words. Orthodox Metropolitan Athena goras of Toronto. Canada, said the ecumenical movement was "not yet in a position to digest hard food" in terms of doctrinal matters. "There is no end to theological speculation. fng Trades Convention delegates. "and they will not be able to pass any more repressive legislation (against unions)." You are in amajority now in the U S. Senate, believe it or not," he said. "We can win any eon test on a labor bill in the Senate and defeat the coalitionists, only to lose it with the present com plexion in the House." McDevitt, appealing for an all out labor union political effort in the coming year, said a recent survey showed that the average I toting registration among union 1 members had just passed the 55 per cent mark a big increase. I "That is not quite enough," he 'laid. I McDevitt said various wings of 'organized labor might be at odds on other things, but they art united in the political field. McDevitt declined to specify ' preferences in any 1962 political races. But he indicated organized labor would be trying to defeat former Vice President Richard M. Nixon's Republican guberna torial bid in California. He also noted that House GOP Leader Charles Halleck hat been winning reelection by declining margins in Indiana. V fev-'.

Ranchers Need Estate Planning Professor Tells Livestock Group "The way we hold our property has a great deal to do with ease with which we pass it on to our survivors in the future." Essentially this statement was the theme of Dr. Grant Blanch of Oregon State University when he spoke Friday at the annual meet ing of the Douglas County Live stock Association. Meeting for the all-day session in the Roseburg Women's Club, the association had talks on lamb pools and feeder sales, and lep tospirosis and the Animal Diagnos tics Laboratory of the Oregon State University. Dr. Dean Smith of OSU spoke on the Utter sub ject. Estates Examined Dr. Blanch spoke on farm cor porations and estate planning. He explained that the rapid rise Two Missiles Score Success In Tests CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) Atlas and Polaris, America's prime strategic missiles, scored important test successes rriaay. The Polaris, an advanced A2 model, zipped from a land pad and raced more than 1,000 miles, radioing back data on perform ance of warhead components, the major objective of the flight. The A2 is scheduled to become operational early in 1962. It will have a range of 1,725 miles, near ly 400 miles further than tne earlier Al, 96 of which are on pa trol aboard six nuclear sub marines. The Atlas zoomed 5.000 miles to its target in anothe test to evalu ate over-all performance of the big intercontinental range war rocket. The Atlas also ejected 32 small capsules containing potas sium, sodium and other inflamma ble elements. As they hit the heat barrier of the atmosphere about 80 miles over the southern Atlan tic Ocean, they erupted into brilli ant blue, yellow and violet flares. By studying the ionization trails created by the flares, scientists hope to leam much about how ra dioactive material will disperse in the atmosphere. Competency Trial Opens For Woman PORTLAND (AP) A hearing opened Fnday on an Indian wom an's protest to a decision that she was incompetent to manage her share of the funds from the term ination of the Klamath Indian Reservation. Victor E. Marr, deputy V. S. attorney, said in U.S. District Court that the government would show Mrs. Marcia Lee Tobey in competent because of a record of arrests and child abandonment. The government, also attempt ing to prove the woman a spend thrift incapable of handling her own funds, called seven witnesses. Mrs. Tobey's attorney. Thomas Mahoney, said a criminal record is not necessarily evidence of in competence. Leon Jourolman. assistant re gional solicitor for the Depart ment of Interior, said guardian ships affected approximately 70 per cent of the tribe. Mahoney said the defense would show that Mrs. Tobey's guardian ship was brought about fraudu lently.

' life enrichment." v i in value of a rancher's holdings makes it necessary to plan now how to pasa the holdings on when the rancher dies without losing a big chunk to taxes. If no wills are left or no pro vision made for divesting a ranch er of his holdings before his death. the laws of the state decide ho it shall be divided, Blanch said. He noted the cost of transfer of property can legally be minimized through the choice of an adminis trator for the estate. This can be member of the family serving at no cost. Deductions Allowed He next stated the federal gov ernment allows a person a $60,- 000 deduction on property before an inheritance tax is paid. By using a marital deduction. an estate of $120,000 can be trans ferred to the surviving spouse with no tax, he said. This occurs by splitting the val ue of the ranch, giving half to each spouse. When one should die, the only property ownership to be transfered would be halt the value of the ranch or in this case 60, 000 the legal deduction. Other methods to be used, he said, are the $3,000 gift allowances each year to any person or or ganizations, tax free. Thus, a man could bring down tne value oi nis holdings by passing the property to his heirs whiile alive. Corporation Method Possiblo But to avoid segmenting prop erty, giving up working capital or losing control of the property. Blanch said the organization of the holdings into a corporation would keep the ranch intact. By forming a corporation, the rancher maintains control of his holdings but still can give gifts of stock to his heirs.
