2 Tha News-Review, Roseburg, Freeman Says Billee Estes Case Is Ballooned Out Of Proportion WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman said today the Billie Sol Eates case and its connection with his department is being "ballooned all out of proportion" to its im portance. He told a news conference that, despite all that had been written and said about the case, the facts boil down to this: Three department employes have been accused of receiving gifts from Estes, West Texas fi nancier under fraud indictment, but that Estes got no favors in turn from the department. Freeman said the manner in which the department has han dled the controversial cotton acre age allotments held by Estes has been such that Estes might well complain that he "has been sharp ly dealt with." There have been demands from Republican Congress members for a sweeping investigation of Estes' relations with the Agriculture De partment. Estes, at 37, had built a West Texas business empire involving huge cotton holdings and storage cf government grain. Last month, he was Indicted by Oakland Residents Hear Sen. Straub State Sen. Robert W. Straub told a union group in Oakland Saturday uie primary responsibility or a Con gressman is "to be a friend and a strong right arm in Congress for the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Corps of Engi neers." Straub, Democratic candidate for Congress in the 4th District, addressed an audience of Interna tional Woodworkers of America members. "Our ability to open new job op portunities and to assist the vital lumber and plywood industry of Douglas County depends in large part on the appropriations and pol icies involving these three import ant federal agencies," he said. The speaker said he sided with Richard McArdle's opinion that the Forest Service must increase Its management job during the next decade if this agency is to provide its share of the increased volume of wood fiber the nation will need by the year 2,000. McCardle is for mer chief of the Forest Service. Straub also cited need for more access roads to permit increased salvage sale uf dead and dying tim ber. He said he favored the ef forts of Sen. Wayne Morse to in crease appropriations for access roads.

They came from Seattle after a whirlwind tour of the World's Fair, where Titov, 27, at a news conference proclaimed his dis belief in God. He was asked whether the 25 hours he spent in orbiting the earth 17 times had changed his philosophy. "Some people say there is a God out there," Titov, a Red air force major, said through an interpreter, "but on my i travels around the earth all day long I looked around and didn't see him. I saw no God nor angels." Before the conference, the 5-foot-4 spaceman and his wife spent almost two hours touring the U.S. science exhibit at the fair. Titov took a simulated trip a billion billion miles into outer space in the science pavilion's spacearium. He said, however, the picture did not depict the earth the way he saw it when he re turned to earth. "I couldn't see all of the earth as you would from outer space. The height of my capsule was lower and the angle of the earth's dimension different." The Russian praised the $8 mil lion science display. "Everyone should see it," he said. He was particularly interested in a complex electronic compu ter, which sent an imaginary satellite into urbit, and in a track ing station for a Transit naviga tional satellite now orbiting the earth. Twice at the fairgrounds Titov slipped out of his role as a serious , observer. The first time be broke away to hear the band from the University of California's Agricul ture College. He took pictures with his movie camera of the musical group from Davis, Calif. Then he sampled some cotton candy one bite and appar ently didn't like it. His wife, 24, also ate a mile ol it. She said it was good.
