f 2 The Newt-Review, Roieburg, Eclipse Offers World Rare, Beautiful Show By United Prs International Astronomically speaking, the moon is a speck of dust. But today, in a rare and beautiful na tural show, it will totally eclipse the blazing sun in a 60-mile-widc swath across Japan, the Atlantic, Canada and Maine. For most Americans, the eclipse will be partial. Boston will sec the moon "bite" away 94.4 per cent of the sun; the largest bite in Seattle will be 63.3 per cent, and the extent of the blot will diminish to about SO per cent in CHjoy ljMUell and Net tW U RH at Yk Uf ere. Anl t I Hi rtm Wr Mirre TO MAKE THEM WELCOME Courtesy parking tickets, which drew o favorable reaction when they were introduced last year, are again being used this summer to make visitors from out of state welcome in Roseburg.

Meter maids, instead of putting tickets on cars from out of stale, attach the welcome card which is good for free parking for the entire day.

Camp Tyee Openings Are Still Available Camp Fire Girls Camp Tyee on the Umpqua Itiver near Klk ton on Sunday will start the sec nnd week of a four-week camping season. While the coining week's session is hooked for almost n full camp, there are slill two or three vacancies, according to the local Camp rue office.

I They won't stay up with it, but the flight will lengthen their view ing period of the total eclipse to 100 seconds; the Maine observers will see totality for only 59 seconds. The moon will begin passing in front of the sun at 4.35 p.m. EOT. At Bar Harbor, Maine, totality will occur at 5:42 p.m. The show will be over by 6:45 p.m. While it lasts, the professional and the non professional viewers will see rare natural sights: stars shining in the afternoon, the glow ing corona of the sun radiating from behind the moon, and "Uui Icy's Beads": Hashes of sunlight glinting through the valleys and surface irregularities of the sun. All three major U.S. television networks will cover the event, either "live" or by videotape, and that is where most Americans are advised to watch it. to save their eyes from possible permanent damage. Dr. I.uther Terry, surgeon gen eral of the United States, warns that even one second's exposure to the full rays of the sun can cause such harm. Because the sun is partially ob scured during an eclipse, no pain is felt by watchers, but infrared and ultraviolet rays do their in jurious work nevertheless. More than 100 persons received perma nent eye damage in a partial eclipse over the Western stales in i:iii. For nonprofessional astrono mers who don't want to watch on television, this approach is rec ommended: Punch a pinhole in a piece of cardboard; then, facing away from the sun, hold the card board over one shoulder and let the image reflect on another niece of cardboard held in front of you. ine weainer win inuuence now much of the eclipse Americans see. r air skies were forecast for the Western states, but the gov ernment's meteorological sages warned the East and South to ex pect some cloudiness and possible showers. .

Eorlier Friday, sup Economic, Political Considerations Shaped JFK Decision To Use Tax Powers WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy's decision to defend the dollar by taxing foreign in vestment was shaped by varied economic and political consider ations that made the final judg ment a delicate assignment. Treasury Department techni cians built up the case that fi nally convinced Kennedy this strategy offered the best hope for making some progress in the bal ance of payments problem. But Practice Bomb Lands In City SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) A U.S. Navy aircraft scored a direct hit on San Francisco Friday in an accidental skip-bombing run on Market Street. The two-fool-long practice bomb which contained a small charge designed to give off a cloud of smoke on impact, landed in the middle of the crowded street at high noon. 11 did nol explode, but did nuin uge to gouge a hole in the asphalt a foot wide and four inches deep before ricocheting in a 300-foot arc over a five-story building. It then struck a cornice on the top of the fourth floor of the Phoenix Build ing at Pine Street and tumbled to the concrete below, striking a Pa cific Gos St Electric truck where three employes were eating their lunch. Nobody was hurl. While San Francisco police cleared away the debris, embar rassed military officials sough) to find out who had accidentally dropped the bomb. Several hours later, the Navy finally identified the pilot of the A4A Skyhawk as U. R. A. Kincr, 32. Anaheim, Calif. He relumed to Crow's Landing in central California from what he thought was a routine practice mission unaware that he had lost one of his six practice bombs. The loss was discovered hours laler alter Kiner. a reservist, had left the field, lie could nol be reached immediately for comment.

Earlier in the week, there had been reports the President's mes sage would not propose any rad ically new devices for closing the payments gap.. And the so-called capital tax proposal came as a complete surprise lo a good many officials who thought they were up on the latest developments in this area. While relucant to name names, administration sources indicated the idea came from the Treas ury Department, but that it also was "worked over" by the Presi dent's close economic advisers. 'he proposed tax which would be levied on foreign securities sold in this country is designed to case the nagging balance of payments deficit which reached $2.2 billion in 1962 and probably will be higher this year. Drains Gold Stocks Such deficits result when U.S. citizens and the federal govern ment spend more dollars over seas than foreigners spend in the United Slates. In past years, the deficit has caused a drain on the nation's gold slocks as foreign governments with dollar holdings cashed them in for gold. The President's program was directed toward one of the most troublesome aspects of the pay ments problem the loss of dol lars to other countries with more attractive interest rates. Kennedy noted that the outflow of long-term capital rose from $850 million in 1900 to $1.2 billion in 1902. He said this now was up to an annual rate of $1.5 billion. The administration previously had been pictured as reluctant to impose any restrictions on for eign investments. It began to re treat from this position, however, as the problem became more se rious. 'About the beginning of the year, the danger flags were fly ing," one source said, "and we knew something would have to be done before long." The taxation approach was be lieved the most palatable of sev eral alternatives. One proposal, quickly discard- ed, would have had the United ai.iu.-a applications and proosals to buy foreign se rarities. Hie idea was that the transaction would be disallowed if il aggravated the dollar defi cit. Enforcement Difficult Administration sources said this approach was turned down be cause of enforcement difficulties and because it would suggest unwarranted interference in the ! decision-making process on the market place. Another more drastic possibil-1 ily (or stemming the flood of dnl- j lars from the U.S. capital market I would be the raising of long-term i interest rales to make them more I competitive wilh overseas rates, j This never received serious , consideration by administration policy makers because of its poli-: tical and economic implications.

Morford III, Friday was found guilty of first degree murder and sentenced to die in the Nevada gas chamber for, the fatal shoot ing of a 23-year-old Oregon man last August in Reno. A three judge panel deliberated three hours before bringing in the verdict against tlie 19 year old itinerant ranch hand. Morford showed no emotion as Disl. Judge John Barrett read the sentence and set the execution date for the week of Sept. 23 at the state prison in Carson City. After the verdict was pronounced, Morford talked briefly with his parents, who live in Santa Rosa, Calif., and then lighted a cigarette as he walked out of the Washoe. County District courtroom. The three judges deliberated three hours before reaching a deci sion. Morford had confessed the crime and it was the judges' duty lo set the degree of guilt and fix the punishment. Judge Barrett said the unani mous decision was reached after "total consideration of all evi dence." Defense counsel Stanley Brown said he "had nothing to say at this time." Morford" admitted he fatally shot Jack Foster, 23, Medford, Ore., after he kidnaped Foster and his wife of two days from a Reno motel Aug. 22. He forced the couple to drive around Lake Ta hoc, then shot Foster and raped his widow twice before she was able to escape. Morford was cap tured a short time later about 40 miles east of Carson City in a gas station. The defense had based its case on the fact that Morford was un der the effects of glue sniffing and one psychiatrist testified the youth did not know right from wrong at the time of the crime. However, the prosecution repre sented by Dist. Alty. William Rag gio presented testimony from an other psychiatrist who said Mor ford was fully aware of the chain of events. Morford did not testify during the five day trial. It was the second death penalty handed out this month in Reno. Previously Thomas Lee Bean, 18, was sentenced to die in the Ne vada gas chamber- for the torso slaying of British ski star Sonja Mccaskip Bean will be formally sentenced next Monday.
