Two-Man Shot Is Scheduled
As Mercury Project Closes
WASHINGTON (UH) - Space
Chief James E. . Webb today
closed the door on any more
Mercury space shots'. The next
U. S. manned apace flight, pos
sibly 16 months off, will be a two
man shot to inaugurate Project
Gemini, :
Webb, head of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration (NASA), formally signaled
the end of the Mercury program
in testimony before the Senate
Space Committee.
In effect ' rejecting picas by
Mercury astronauts and some
others for one more single man
flight, Webb said NASA would
now concentrate on Project Ge
mini, the second phase of its long
range program to send an Amcrl
can to the moon,
Gemini envisions putting two
men in orbit in the same vehicle
for extended periods possibly as
long as two weeks. But the pro
gramthe forerunner to moon
landing Project Apollo Is running
behind schedule and the first shot
could be 16 months away.
However, In testifying on
NASA's request for a $5.7 billion
appropriation, Webb said finally:
"There will he no further Mer
cury shots. We will concentrate
on reorientation and realignment
of NASA to move on with
Gemini,"
The decision, long foreshad
owed, was a bitter blow to astro
naut Alan B. Shcpard Jr. and
others at NASA's manned space
craft center in Houston.
They had plugged hard for an
other Mercury shot lasting even

the country, since Ihe north is cov
ered largely by one of Ihe driest
deserts on earth, and the south is
mountainous and windswept. Some
of tne southern end is antarctic cli
mate. The seasons are diametrical
ly opposed to those in the United
States.
The factor contributing most
strongly to the Communist influ
ence Is the grinding poverty found
among the masses in the country.
The country is still oligarchic in
nature, with most of the old aris
tocracy still owning most of the
productive land.
The major segment of the econ
omy is agriculture. But its eco
nomic health has for many years
depended on export of copper and
nitrates. Copper along accounta for
70 per cent of the country's for
eign exchange. This small base of
foreign trade leaves the country at
the mercy of a fluctuating world
market.
10 Yeer Plan
It Is only since World War I
that manufacturing has been push
ed in the country. It is currently
stepping up that program with a
10-yoar plan for economic expan
sion to reduce dependence on ni
trate and copper.
At the same time, a great deal
of attention is being given the
needs of Ihe people. Primary educa
tion is compulsory and free, and
secondary education is also free.
The country now has the most
complete labor and social insur
ance program of any Latin Ameri
can republic. Both men and wom
en over 21 years of age may vote.
Its middle class is still compar
atively small, but it is growing
and has Influence far exceeding its
proporlionate size.
Government Centralized
The government of the country
is highly centralized, with the three
branches of executive, legislative
and judicial. The constitution is
patterned In many respects after
the U. S. Constitution in the mat
ter of basic richls. Again the presi
dent has considerably more pow
er man mat of tne u. s.
Like the United States, it too
had (0 shake the yoke of tyranny
from its neck. This fight in the
first half of the 19th century was
led by a man with the unlikely
name of Bernardo O'Higgins. He
is the country's national hero.
Another close tie with the U. S.
Is capital investment (mostly In
mining) and foreign trade. It
exports more than 40 per cent of
us total to ma u. s., and Its prin
cipal supplier (51 per cent of im
ports) is me U.S.
As with Oregon, it too has a val
uable forest resource. A consider
able lumber Industry has grown
in recent years in some sections.
It exports beech, pine and laurel.
The United States now has eight
cities affiliated with Chilean sister
cities.

Wallace Won't
Block Admission
Of Third Negro
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPI)
Gov. George Wallace, his "school
house door"' pledge fulfilled, will
not try to block the admission of
a third Negro to the University of
Alabama Thursday.
"The governor has made his
stand," said a close Wallace ad
viser Tuesday night. "If he makes
another, it could appear ridicu
lous." The little governor executive
blocked the enrollment of two Ne
groes at the main university cam
pus at Tuscaloosa Tuesday until
federalized National Guard troops
arrived to enforce the integration
order. Wallace stepped aside with-1
out incident
"He matched his campaign
pledge. He stood in the school
bouse door." said the adviser.
"Now his segregation forever bat
tle will be fought in the courts.
He will not go to Huntsville. '
David McGlathcry, a 26-ycar-
old Negro mathematician at the
Marshall Space r light Center in
Huntsville, is scheduled to regis
ter Thursday at the university's
extension center at Huntsville.
The governor was expected to
consult with his state sovereignty
committee composed of top con
stitutional lawyers to continue
his fight against the "military dic
tatorship of the central govern
ment." Bleacher Problem
Eyed At Reedsport
The problems of the new grand
stand and the recent school shop
fire were discussed Tuesday at the
Reedsport Union High School board
of directors meeting.
The glue-laminated beams at the
grandstand have been dripping
chemicals, and it was reported by
architect Tom Balzhiser of Eugene
that construction plans call for its
elimination. The grandstand has
just been completed for use.
It was reported at the meeting
also that the architect, board and
insurance adjuster will explore
further the problem of restoration
of the shop building which burned
in a spectacular fire recently.
Balzhiser told the board that re
placement coverage means re
placement to function according
to existing code requirements and
not just restoration of the original
structure. He said it would be il
legal to rebuild the original struc
ture in violation of the present
fire and building codes.
The request of the Reedsport
Jayccea for use of the area ad
jacent to the school baseball dia
mond for a site for a pie-Fleet
Days carnival show was approved
after discussion with Jaycce mem
bers Orin Collier and Bill l.illebo.
The carnival is slated for five days,
June 25-29. The carnival site will
not interfere with the various jun
ior baseball games which are
scheduled every evening weekdays.

shot to death by a sniper early
today while returning from a civil
rights rally.
In Congress, Rep. William M.
Colmer, D-Miss., told the House
the slaying was a "dastardly
act." He said it was an inevitable
result of "agitation by politicians,
do-gooders , and those who sail un
der the false flag of liberalism."
Colmer's congressional district
includes Jackson. He began his
remarks by stating: "I rise thi
morning with a sad heart."
The congressman said he had
just talked with Mississippi Gov.
Ross Barnctt and has been as
surred that he and other state of
ficials were "using their best ef
forts to bring the culprit to jus
tice." .
Colmer said this thing was

'or Southerners, generally. He
said "we deplore this incident."
Senate Democratic Whip Hu

the killing "outrageous" and des
picable." "It is an insult to every Amer
ican and a tragedy to his fam
ily. No decent, responsible Amer
ican can justify violence of this
nature and the crime is even
worse when we learn this man
was shot in the back. This is
cowardice, violence and it is des
picable." Speaker John W. McCormack,
D-Mass., said "The killing is not
only disgraceful but vicious." Ha
declined to speculate on what af
fect, if any, the killing might
have on the impending congres-
