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

McKenzie
On Thursday
The McKenzie Highway from
Springfield to Bend is scheduled
to bo. open to traffic for the first
time this year on Thursday at 8
a.m., according to D. 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Arrangements
For 4-Power
Parley Settled
SAN FRANCISCO CT) Russia and the Western Powers
were reported to have reached virtual agreement Tues
day on arrangements for the top-level talks in Geneva next
month.
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.

are higher rewards in life than
to remain scats of power and
authority. To have measured up
fully to the. demands of being a

in two great departments must
do to cmplove morale' in tho fed

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.
