Rocket Blast Being Probed PORTLAND HV-The Air Force nressed an investigation Tuesday into Monday's two-million-dollar rocket discharged at Portland Air Base, but gave little hint when an answer might be expected. At least six safety precautions arc intended to prevent accidental ground firing of rockets, but somehow a dozen from a parked F89 jet cut loose Monday. They destroyed two other jets, dam aged a parked C46 transport plane and put a hole in the roof of a house a mile away. No one was hurt. Col. Elmer McTaggart, acting base commander, said Tuesday that it might be "several days" before a statement could be made on the probable cause. Two men were in the parked plane, making routine armament and radar inspections, the colonel said. He declined to release thoir names because, he said, there was nothing to suggest they had any thing to do with the mishap. The plane's rocket-firing cir cuits were being studied and Col. McTaggart said that was a slow, painstaking task. Value of the destroyed jets was estimated at S800.000 to S1.000, 000 each, although a spokesman said the exact value was restrict ed information. Conferees Agree On Doctors' Draft WASHINGTON wi A Senate House committee Tuesday agreed on legislation extending the Doc tors' Draft Act for two years. It would make doctors and den tists up to age 46 liable to the draft. The age limit now is 50 The conference committee bill also would extend the regular draft of young men 18 to 26 years old for the armed services. Both draft laws will expire June 30 unless extended. A doctors' draft bill has been bottled up in the House Rules Committee for weeks. The compromise bill now goes to the House for consideration Friday, bypassing the rules Com mittee.

J. Sage, in charge of the state highway de partment maintenance office in Eugene. Sage made the report after a trip to the top of the snow-bound pass Monday. The engineer reported that crews from Bend and from Eu-! gene are within half a mile of meeting. They are working in from three to fourteen feet of snow near West Lava Forest Camp. Sage explained that crews are going to be pressed" to get the road widened out by Thursday. But signs will be posted and no trouble is expected. This is one of the latest open ings in recent years, newspaper files show. Last year, light winter snows permitted the highway dc partment to have the road open about four weeks earlier. The late opening this spring is blamed on the heavy storms that continued into March and April. Protest Artillery TOKYO 0P The U.S. Army Tuesday staged artillery practice at the base of Mt.

Franklin Luccro continued Tuesday to direct the campaign to restore full peace to this na tion left tense by revolt. The balding, square-jawed army minister, holding the top role in the postrcvolutionary period, said a communique Tuesday that the situation is "steadily normal izing without any inconvenience."

AMERICAN KILLED As head of the nation's armed forces, Luccro spread his control over all activities of the country, which is still under a state of siege. Despite the strict army checks, most of Buenos Aires had the appearance of normalcy. The first American casualty of. last week's brief but bloody fight ing in the capital was reported Monday night. He was Graham E. Tune, a, Detroit industrial en gineer employed by the Kaiser Motor Corp. s new Argentine sub sidiary. Company officials found and identified his body in a city Soviet Chief To Visit India MOSCOW W Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin pledged Tues day he will do everything possi ble to lower international tension and consolidate confidence among nations at the forthcoming Big Four conference. He made the pledge before 100.000 cheering persons gath ered in flag-bedecked Dynamo Stadium to honor India's Prime Minister Nehru. Nehru an nounced earlier that Bulganin had accepted an invitation from him to visit India. Nehru stond beside Bulganin as the Soviet premier spoke Communist Party Boss Nikita S. Krushchev. Deputy Premier Georgi Malenkov. First Deputy Premier Lazar Kaganovich and other Soviet leaders also were there. The stadium's playing field was filled with disciplined ranks of flag-carrying Moscow athletes in bright-colored running suits. They led the applause. The India leader said no date has been set for the visit, but that it is usual tor foreigners to visit India in the winter. The implica tion was that Bulganin would n6t make the trip this summer. Nehru made the announcement at a news conference in the Spiridonovka Palace immediately after talktng with Bulganin in the Kremlin. He went from the news confer ence to the mass rally in the Dynamo Stadium, where' the So viet citizens heard the first pub lic address made in Moscow by a .non-Cammupj stalsmwi since th 19f7 revglution.

Despite Lucero's protestations of returning normalcy his com muniquc for the second succes sive day warned the public against rumors of continuing conflict. As he had before, he termed these 'completely false" but admitted that they had "increased consid erably." PLANES RETURNED . The communique reported that 18 planes used by the rebels in bombing government sites had beer, flown back from Uruguay, icre the insurgent pilots fled for refuge. Fourteen junior offi cers returned with the planes, de claring that they had not taken any voluntary part in the rebel lion. Luccro and the military reaped growing publicity harvest in the nation's press as Peron's long-time prominence on front pages slipped. None of Buenos Aires' afternoon newspapers pub lished a picture of the President Monday, previously a rare occur rence in the Argentine capital. MISSES CEREMONY Peron also was absent from Monday's observance of Argen tine Flag Day in Buenos Aires an occasion which he almost never missed in the past. Army officers held the center of the stage at the ceremonies honoring Gen. Manuel Belgrano, who creat ed the nation's blue and white banner. ' There also were no more of the bitter attacks on the Roman Cath olic Church that the progovern- ment press has carried on since the feud between Peron and the church broke into the open seven months ago. Peron then accused some of the clergy of seeking to undermine his regime, a charge denied by the church. Coos Bay Teacher To Succeed Moffi Walter A. Commons, a Coos Bay elementary school teacher, has been named assistant super intendent of the- Springfield school system. He succeeds the late Laurence Moffit, who died last month.

Detroit Dam Claims Four; 2 Recovered SALEM UV-The bodies of a father and son, who were with two other persons in a car that plunged into Detroit Reservoir, were discovered Tuesday, state police headquarters announced The bodies were found outside the car in 20 to 30 feet of water. The recovered bodies were those of James A. Jennings, 41, a state highway department cm-! ploye; and his son, Leo, 10. Still missing was another son, Richard, 14, ' and their friend, John F. Wallace, 17. All four were from Detroit. An oil slick led to grapplcrs lo cating the car about 75 feet off shore in 185 feet of water. Rough surface water, though, caused a halt at noon Tuesday in efforts to raise it. " A try will be made early Wed nesday, using a tug and winch to get it close to shore. The search began Monday when a highway worker noticed a broken guard rail. State police and workers at Detroit Dam soon began dragging operations. The four had not been seen since Saturday night when they left their homes at Detroit to go to a theater at Mill City. The broken guard rail was on the North Santiam Highway about 1V4 miles cast of the dam. A li cense plate belonging to Jen nings' car, headlights and other car parts were found nearby. It was believed that Jennings' car plunged through the fence and crashed down a 175-foot cliff. The lake deepens from 40 feet near shore to 250 feel a short dis tance out. Jennings' wife is in the state tuberculosis hospital. They have a 10-year-old daughter. Mrs. Hobby For 'Abandoning9 Aide WASHINGTON m Sen. Ncu berger (I) Ore) told the Senate Tuesday that Secretary of Wel fare Hobby seeks to shift to a subordinate the responsibility for stress and trouble over the polio vaccine. He referred to Mrs. Hobby's tatcment Monday night that fed eral law puts the responsibilily for actions a to the v-iccme on Surgeon General Leonard" A. Schoclc. Neuber;icr said he thinks this demonstrates the Eisenhower ad- niini'ratijn is "direly in need of the quality of loyalty to sub ordinates. OUT RS.

Informed quarters said Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov told the Western diplomats at the end ot a four- . hour meeting that at first sight he saw no reason to object to a scries of proposals they had agreed on in New York last week. ' He was understood to have the proposals more carefully or two. The Western foreign ministers apparently were , so certain of his acceptance that no further meeting was arranged. Diplomats at the meeting Foster Dulles, British For eign Secretary Harold Mac millan and French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay had proposed that: 1. The purpose of the "summit"1 meeting should be to ease world tension and not to negotiate the settlement of specific problems. 2. The meetings should last from four to six days. 3. President Eisenhower should be the first presiding officer, to be followed by French Premier Edgar Faure, British Prime Min ister Sir Anthony Eden and So viet Premier Nikolai Bulganin. DINE TOGETHER 4. The meetings should be held in the Palais des Nations, U.N. headquarters in Geneva, and that the U.N. should be requested to service the sessions. 5. No council of foreign minis ters should be held before the chiefs of government meet. The four foreign ministers will have dinner together Tuesday with Pinay as host, but no se rious discussions were planned. These developments came as the U.N.'s 10th anniversary meet ing got down to its long program of speeches on the world ouliooK. Macmillan delivered a policy dec laration for Britain the first ma jor foreign poliey pronouncement since last month s British elec tions. President Eisenhower's open ing address was praised by other delegates as excellent and inspira tional. VERY FINE START' The President, speaking Mon day afternoon, pledged that he would uphold tho principles of the U.N. Charter at the Geneva con ference. He declared this is a season of high hope'' for world peace The United Stales will leave no stone unturned to work for peace," he said. "We shall re jeet no method, however novel that holds out any hope however faint.' Macmillan said the President's speech "gave a very fine start to the conference." Belgian Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Snaak called the speech inspirational. MOLOTOV MUM There was no comment from Molotov. who later met the Prcsi dent at a reception and exchanged pleasantries. Eisenhower returned to Wash ington in his private plane Mon day night, approximate!;' 24 hours after his arrival. Meanwhile, it appeared almost certain that the 60 nations would conclude their session Sunday by adopting a peace pledge which would bo known as the bar. r ran cisco Declaration. Criticized are higher rewards in life than to remain scats of power and authority. To have measured up fully to the. demands of being a courageous and indomitable hu ihan being is something to be de sired too. One can only imagine what such desertions as these in two great departments must do to cmplove morale' in tho fed eral service." , NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT tycubCrgcr did not link his statements as to Dulles to any specific matters.

SAN FRANCISCO (A1) British Foreign Secretary Harold Mac millan said Tuesday tension be tween the East and West seems to be easing, but he declined to predict the outcome of next month's "summit" talks in Gen eva. Macmillan addressed the 60 members of the United Nations at the ' second day of the week long 18th anniversary session. He strongly supported the world or ganization, but also stressed the necessity for supplementing it on some problems with old-fashioned diplomacy. Ho declared that the San Fran cisco meetings "will be memor able" if the diplomats gathered nere can apply the old pioncenng -spirit to the work before them. "The pageant of history in the past decade has been darkened by disillusionment and, some times, despair," he said. "The tensions between East and West have seemed unending. But re cently there has been a lifting of the cloud." Then, referring to the coming meeting of the Big Four chiefs of government, he asked whether it was possible to get back on the road of cooperation between the great powers and whether the leaders might find the necessary inspiration at San Francisco to reslnrc harmony. No one yet knows tho answer! to those questions," ho said. Pack Train Brings Body Out of Woods A pack train Monday night brought the body of Calvin Os borne out of tho Willamette Na tional Forest in. Eastern Lane County, where the 30-year-old man died Sunday while on a camping trip. Coroner Fred Bucll said an autopsy was scheduled for Tues day afternoon. He said it appear ed likely that Osborne had suf fered a heart attack. The dead man weighed about 250 pounds and had carried a pack when he . hiked into tho woods Saturday with friends. Bucll said. Oshorne was one of nine camp ers from Rogue River who car ried camping gear into the forest to begin a 5-day fishing vacation. Other members of the party said ho had not appeared tired after the 7-hour, 9-milc hike to the group's camp sito near Cliff Lake. Tho lake is located near the Mink Lake Basin just west, of tho summit of the Cascades, about 30 miles southwest of Bend. , The group camped overnight at Cliff Lake and left Sunday morn ing to hike to another lake for a day of fishing.
