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

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. The
courtesy parking tickets were established as a program
through the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce and
city of 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.

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

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

Treasury Department techni

strategy offered the best hope for
making some progress in the bal

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

top policy makers added it to the
President s package only at the
last minute.
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.
The Kennedy administration is
firmly on record against raising
long-term rales which would af-

Morford Gets J
Guilty Verdict, '
Death Penalty
RENO, Nev. (UPI) Lester E.
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.

The plaintiff sought $25,000 gen
eral damages and $1,939.28 spec
