Eddowes claimed he submitted a full report of his knowledge of the relations between Miss jieei er and Capt. Eugene Ivanov, a former assistant naval attache in the Soviet Embassy and sus pected intelligence agent, last March 29. The lawyer told the Evening Standard he had been a patient of society osteopath Dr. Stephen Ward who is in jail awaiting trial on charges of living wholly or nartlv on the earnings of prosti lutes, and met Miss Kecler in Ward s apartment last Novemner. Asks Fer Advice About a month later, he said Miss Keeler rang and asked him to advise her because of an at tempt by West Indian John Edge combe, who claims to have been a lover of hers, to shoot his way into her apartment. Edgecombe was sentenced to seven yesrs for the offense.1 Eddowes said he went to see the 21-vear-old playgirl. "After we had discussed the shooting," he said, according to the Evening Standard, "she told me in reply to my question that she had had an affair with both CaDt. Ivanov and Mr. Profumo, "Realizing the possible Implica tions of this I asked: "Did Ivanov ever ask you to get Information from Mr. Profumo? "She replied: 'Yes'. " 'Anything In particular', 1 asked." "She replied: 'He asked me to obtain the date of delivery oi nu clear warheads to West Gcr many.' "I asked her if she had ob tained this information and she said she had not." Asked why he had decided to make this known only three days before the House of Commons de bate on a possible security risk in the Profumo scandal, Eddowes said he was doing so as I ' pub lic duty." Recalls Heme Secretary Macmillan, whose position as prime minister depends on the outcome of the Commons debate, as docs perhaps the fate of his government, summoned Home Secretary Henry Brooke back from the Channel Islands with an early morning telephone call today.

JFK Reveals Supersonic Plane Plans WASHINGTON (UPI) Presl dent Kennedy today outlined for Congress his proposal for a com mercial supersonic airliner. The cost over the next six years might run as high as $1 billion Kennedy sent a letter to House Speaker John W. McCormack and Vice President Lyndon B. John son, presiding officer of the Sen ate, sketching the general outline program. He also notified Congress he would submit shortly a formal re quest for funds to meet immediate requirements of the program particularly a detailed competition within the private aircraft indus try to design the plane. A definite decision to proceed with development of a prototype commercial transport capable of iiying ivi times (lie speed of sound was announced by the President last week in an address at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. In his letter to the House and Senate presiding officers today, Kennedy envisioned a develop mental program in which the gov ernment investment would not be allowed to exceed (750 million. He proposed (hat private aircraft manufacturers pay a minimum of 25 per cent of the development cost. He also recommended that airlines purchasing the sunersonic aircraft after its development would De expected to repay part of the government's development cost through royally payments. "These requirements for cost snaring by the manufacturers wilt assure that the cost of the pro gram win lie Held to the absolute minimum," the President said . He emphasized that the govern ment did not intend to pay any production, purchase or operating subsidies to manufacturers or air lines involved in developing the new plane. "The cost of such a program Is large It could be as great as SI billion for a development program of about six years," the President said in his letter. "This is beyond the financial capability of our aircraft manu facturers. We cannot, however, per mit this high cost, nor the dif ficulties and risks of such an am bitious program, to preclude this country from participating in the logical next development o a com mercial aircraft." France and Britain already are In the process of developing a supersonic airliner, and are ex pected to have a craft ready for commercial use well ahead of the United States. However, the U.S. version envisioned by Kennedy would be faster than Ihe French Ihe accident occurred about 11:30 a.m. and it took the men until 5 p.m. to reach Bonneville Dam.

The trophies will have a map of Oregon on them, with a bronze head of a polled Hereford mounted on a wal nut base. Mrs. Ocumpaugh said the aim of (he Poll-ettes is to encourage young people of the 4-H and FFA to raise quality Polled Herefords and show them at fairs. "In so do ing," she said, "the Poll-ettes feel that each time another breed of animal is shown in competition it too must be improved in quality, so the program is really seeking to up-grade the quality of all beef animals shown by the young peo ple of these two organizations." Membership is open to all wives and daughters of Polled Hereford breeders, mothers of 4-H and FFA members, their advisers and teach ers and all other women who are interested in the program.

They protested alleged police bru tality, exerted during a club swinging incident during a dem onstration Thursday, and asked again for consideration of eight racial demands. Thompson told them he would not consent to establishment of a bi-racial committee but promised that Negro policemen would be hired when "competent" officers ran be found. He said other is sues including desegregation of eating places and schools were in federal court and off limits for discussion. Thompson advised the Negroes to keep their civil rights fight in the courts and to call off further demonstrations. The Negroes re sponded that they would not con sider thai step until "all of us are free." WIN THIS FRIDAY NIGHT BANK NITE LAST WEEK Name of winner for $500 Mary Foster, 1596 N.W.

The sister city will be chosen from one of the five Argentina, Brazil, Chi le, Mexico or Uruguay. Next week. The News-Review will pub lish a ballot asking all readers to offer their aid in the selection of the country. Romantic Argentina, with i 1 1 cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, its rois tering gauchos and its pampas, is the last of five countries being con sidered as the one from which Rose burg will select a sister city. In many ways it differs from the previous lour discussed (Uru guay, Mexico, Chile, Brazil). Al though settled by the Spaniards and freed by revolution from the moth er country, the parallels diverge rapidly from there. Methodists Make Pulpit Appointment R. Richard Case, now of the Henderson Settlement (a Metho dist Mission) in Krakes, Ky., will be the new minister serving the Sutherlin and Wilbur Methodist churches. Case's appointment was announc ed by Dist. Supt. E. J. Aschen brenner at the recent Oregon Meth odist Conference held in Salem. Case will replace the present pas tor, the Rev.

His wife has attended Pratt In stitute, Brooklyn, N.Y., and is an artist. She has worked with handi capped people and is presently as sociated with her husband in the work at the Henderson Settlement, where they are house parents.

Most Argentines are nom inally Catholic, but since the early days of the republic, a strong anti clerical movement has existed, and a big segment of the population does not practice Catholicism. While most other countries of South America lured the Spaniards with the hope of riches, Argentina apparently had little to offer. Yet its rich Pampas later made it the most prosperous country in Latin America. While the other countries are now populated largely by mestizos (mixtures of Indian and European), Argentina is about 90 per cent Eur opean (mostly Italian and Span ish). Its Indian population amounts to only about 2 per cent. Argentina politically is more or less chaotic. It is still trying to stabilize itself after the rule of dictator Juan Peron. Peron, who is now exiled in spain, has contrib uted little to the stabilization he cause of his long-distance control of a strong pro-Peron clement in the country. Contributing to the political prob lem is the almost inherent disaf fection between Buenos Aires and the rest of the country, stemming from the days when the capital city was an independent power. Economically, it is the bread basket of South America. Great wheat production and vast herds of cattle go hand in hand to make it a major world agricultural area. Foreign trade is a dominant influ ence in Argentine life. The coun try's trade with other nations av erages a third of all Argentine buy ing and selling. Most of this busi ness goes to Europe. Mrs. Matie Heller Funeral services for Mrs. Ma tie Heller, 85, a resident of Glen dale for more than 50 years, who died Thursday at a Grants Pass rest home, will be held in the Glendale Masonic Temple at 2 p.m. Monday. Officers of the Glendale chapter of Eastern Star will conduct ritual services. The Rev. Norman Nail gler will officiate. The Hull and Hull Mortuary of Grants Pass is in charge of arrangements. Mrs. Heller, who may have been the only surviving widow of a Civil War Veteran in the state, was born April 20, 1878, in Embarrass, Wis. She was married in 1903 to Frank J. Heller at Clintonville, Wis., and moved to Glendale later that year. The couple had a placer mine at Rogue River for about five years during the period. Mr. Heller died in 1921. After his death Mrs. Heller worked in a local store and then served as a clerk in the post office for more than 20 years. She had been Ihe Glendale city treasurer for several years. She was a past matron of Order of Eastern Star, past noble grand of the Rcbekah Lodge, and a sec retary of the Glendale chapter of OES for 33 years. A social club of the OES bears her name. Survivors include one son, John of Empire; one daughter, Mrs. Muriel Karger of Glendale; one granddaughter, Mrs. Barbara Mag nusson of Honolulu; two sisters, Mrs. Marguerite Hunn of San Die go and Mrs. Grace Armstrong of Remer, Minn.; and several neph ews.

I Argentina, out of necessity brought on by World War I, has I also become a leading Latin Amer ican country in manufacturing. The most important industries have been those connected with proces- I sing agricultural and pastoral prod- j ucts. Despite its differences with the i U. S. (which have been many over the years), it has strong ties in ; philosophy. Its constitution was pat terned after the U.S. system, and i its school system was developed i under the guidance of its 19th Cen 1 tury President Domingo Sarmiento, I who made a first-hand study of public education in the U. S. Pri i mary, secondary and higher educa tion are free, and primary educa ! tion is compulsory. The country 'has religious freedom, and women ! have the right to vote. Another parcl is that the Euro peans who first came to the coun try won it through wars with sav age Indians. As with the cowboy of U. S. tra dition, this is where the Argentine gaucho won his fame. Argentina has little trouble with Communists, but its last 2',i dec ades have been heavily larded with fascism. The country had strong tendencies to follow the lines of Germany and Italy during the late 30s and early 40s. And it was on this militant following that Peron consolidated his position as dicta tor. The military is still the strength of political power. The country has many cities to choose from as sister cities, since more than half the population lives in the 25 cities of 20,000 or more inhabitants. Total population in the country, which is about a third the size of the continental United States, is about 21 million. Argentina has four U. S. cities with sister city affiliations.
