African-Asian Plan
For Congo Passed
By Security Council
By WILLIAM N. OATIS
or the Associated Preii
:' ; UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. Wl The Soviets bowed to
the pressure of Asian and Arican opinion Tuesday and per
mitted Security Council approval of a resolution author
izing tne united Nations to use force u necessary to pre
vent civil war in the Congo.
. Even before the resolution's adoption one of its chief
targets Katanga President Moise Tshombe had rejected
a key provision calling for withdrawal from the Congo of
foreign military and political advisers. They supply the
working brains of Tshombe's provincial army and adminis
tration. (See Story, Page 5 A).
The vote on the resolution, which was sponsored by
the council's three Asian-African members was 9-0, with
the United States on the winning side. Despite its bitter
Morse Won't
Go-Sponsor
New Park Bill
By A. ROBERT SMITH
RecisteMjuard Correspondent '
WASHINGTON (Special) Sen.
Wayne Morse has declined to join
Sen. Maurine Neuberger in co
sponsoring legislation to create
an Oregon Dunes seashore park
but Morse is in a bargaining
mood on the question.
If Senator Neuberger would go
along with one alteration he has
proposed, Morse would co-sponsor
the proposal, he explained.
Morse said he opposes giving
the Interior Department any au
thority to condemn private prop
erty within the proposed park
boundaries. Under the Neuberger
bill, unless zoning codes approved
by the secretary of the interior
are adopted, the federal govern'
ment could eventually force local
property owners to sell their
property.
PUBLIC NECESSITY
.. "I don't propose to give the
secretary that power," said
Moras. "The right of eminent
domain should never be granted
unless the public necessity clear
ly demands it. I have yet to see
any necessity for the exercise of
eminent domain in this area.
Only. a small percentage of the
land area is privately owned. A
park can be created without the
government acquiring all the pri
vate property."
Morse said the property owners
should have a choice of selling or
staying. He predicted that a good
many would sell to the govern
ment, if given a fair price. But
he said they should have that
choice, and not be forced to sell
at the price set by the govern
ment.
"I am all for the recreational
aims and purposes of this pro
posal." the senator added. "Mrs.
Neuberger is to be commended
for this." ...
OTHER CASES CITED
Morse said he plans to offer
hie amptiHmpnt if and when the
Neuberger bill comes up for Sen
ate debate. He indicated ne win

whether to support or oppose the
final bill, if his amendment is not

RESOLUTION REJECTED
Shortly before 4 a.m. the 11'
nation body rejected an -Asian-African
resolution condemning
atrocities and assassinations in
the Congo. That resolution was
prompted by the announcement
Monday that six associates of
slain Congolese leader Patrice
Lumumba had been executed in
South Kasai Province after depor
tation from Leopoldville by Pre
mier Joseph Ileo s government
The resolution failed to get the
seven votes necessary for adop
tion after the Soviet Union, with
its 93rd and 94th vetoes, killed
two U. S. amendments aimed to
keep Leopoldville, Katanga and
South Kasai from being singled
out as atrocity centers while Stan
leyville, the seat of the pro-Com
munist Lumumbist regime, went
unmentioned.
The final vote was 6-0 for the
resolution, 'with the United
States, Britain, Nationalist China
France and Turkey abstaining.
DEATH PROBE SET .
Ceylon, Liberia and the U.A.R
sponsored the winning plan to
head off civil war and the losing
proposal to condemn the assassin
ations, with the backing of 17
other Asian-African countries and
Yugoslavia.
The peace plan also calls on all
countries to keep military person
nel from going to the Congo, pro
vides for an investigation of the
killing of Lumumba and envis
ages the convening of Parliament
and the removal of Congolese
troops from politics through re
training.
CALL FOR TROOPS 1
Hammarskjold welcomed the
resolution's adoption. He declared
it gave "a stronger and clearer
framework for United Nations ac
tion." He also called for more
troops to build up the thinning
U.N. Congo force,
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian A. Zorin, whose own
proposal described Hammarskjold
as "a participant in and organizer

resolution because the Asian

Fred H. Harrington,
Wisconsin Educator,
To Meet With Board
Fred H. Harrington, vice
president of academic affairs
at the University of Wiscon
sin, was in Eugene Monday,
presumably to discuss the
university of Oregon presi
dency. John R. Richards, chancellor of
the State System of Higher Edu
cation, said Tuesday he was not
at liberty to disclose any details
of Harrington's visit. When asked
Harrington had been inter
viewed by the university Board
of Deans, or any other faculty
group, Richards said "I cannot
comment on that."
However, Henry F. Cabell.
president of the Board of Higher
Education, indicated that Har
rington was to be interviewed by
the board in Portland Tuesday
afternoon. ,
THREE MENTIONED
The Board of Higher Educa
tion has been seeking a new
president for the University of
Oregon since 0. Meredith Wilson
went to the University of Minne
sota as president last July.
While many contacts have been
made, the names of only three
educators from outside Eugene
have come to public light: George
Waggoner, Dean of the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences at
the University of Kansas; Arthur
S. Flemmmg, who was Secretary
of Health, Education and Welfare
in the Eisenhower administra
tion, and Harrington.
Dean Robert D. Clark, of the
University of Oregon College of
Liberal Arts, was considered
strong possibility if the board
should turn to the university s
own faculty. ' Indications have
been, however, that someone
from outside the state would be
chosen.
Waggoner visited Eugene last
November, but later announced
he would not accept the Oregon
presidency if offered. Flemming
has not -ruled himself out as a
candidate.
William C. Jones is acting
president. Jones was dean of ad
ministration when - Wilson was
president.
CORNELL GRADUATE -
Harrington first joined the Uni
versity of Wisconsin faculty in
1937. From 1940 to 1944, he was
head of the department of history
and political science at the Uni
versity of Arkansas. In 1944, he
returned to Wisconsin as an asso
ciate professor, and became pro
fessor of history in 1947. He has
been vice president of academic
affairs since 1958.
Harrington is a graduate of
Cornell, and received master of
arts and doctor of philosophy de
grees from New York University.
He and his wife, Nancy, have five
children.
Harrington is the author of sev
eral books, including "Hanging
Judge," and "An American His
tory," two volumes written in co
operation with Merle Curti, K. n.
Shryock and T. C. Cochran.

Science Can't Solve All,
Nobel Scientist Asserts
By RALPH OI.IVE
Of the ReiliterOuard
Mankind must become attuned
to a world dominated by science
and technology but this docs
not mean science can solve so
ciety's most crucial problems.
This opinion was given by I'oly-
karp Kusch, 1955 winner of the
Nobel Prize In physics, during an
interview in Eugene Tuesday
morning.
Kusch, who is head of the Co
lumbia University department of
nhvsics. will give a Failing Dis
tinguished Lecture tonight at 8
in the Erb Memorial hiudcm
Union, on the University of Ore-
gon campus. His topic is "Limita
lions of Science."
Scientific research is tremen
dously important, Kusch said,
and its contributions have been
many and great. But he added,
there are other religious, social
and political factors that must be
considered In evaluating society's
future course.
"Science docs not begin to give
vou the new lite," Kusch said
criticizing magazine and newspa
per articles that claim research
will bring all good tnings to man
kind. "You have to fight for it
vonrself." Kusch stressed.
Science may cure some dis-
NASA officials stressed that
much more testing remains to be
done before a human is sent up
but the two developments made
it obvious that the trials are en
tering the final phases.
The three selected for final
training for the first space trip
are John J. Glenn, Virgil E. Gris
som, and Alan B. Shepard.
The other four still eligible
for later and perhaps more am
bitious ventures are Scott Car
3 Astronauts Picked
As Space
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(UPI) Three Mercury astro
nauts were selected Tuesday
from . a list of seven as candi
dates for America's first man
ned flight into - space, possibly
within two months. .
Marine Lt Col.. John H. Glenn
Jr., 38, Air Force Capt. Virgil L.
Grissom, 34, and Navy Cmdr.
Alan B. Shepard, Jr., 36, were
tabbed for the "final pool." The
other four astronauts will be can
didates for later manned space
shots.
NEAR PERFECT MISS
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration made the
announcement within three hours
after it had racked up a near
perfect success with an unman
ned project Mercury capsule it
sent on a rugged 1,425-mile flight
over the Atlantic Ocean aboard a
beefed up Atlas rocket.
Robert R. Gilruth, director of
the $500 million Mercury pro
gram said he made the final se
lection of Glenn, Grissom, and
Shepard "on the basis of evalu
ating large amounts of medical
and technical information in the
22-month training program."
Glenn, 39, of New Concord
Ohio,1 and his wife, Anna, have
cases, Kusch said, but it docs not
stop death. Technology may de

Grissom, 35, of Mitchell, Tnd.,

Shepard, 37, of East Derry, N.
H., and his wife, Louise, have two
daughters, Juliana, 9, and Laura,
13. ' ,
All seven of the astronauts
will be eligible for later flights,"
Gilruth said.
POSSIBLY IN APRIL
The other four space candi
dates are Gordon Cooper, Walker
Schirra, Donald Slayton and Scot
Carpenter. '
Possibly as early as April, one
of the "select three will be tuck
ed into a bell-shaped Mercury
capsule mounted atop i Redstone
rocket for a flight 115 miles into
space and about 290 miles over
the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Ca
naveral. This is the same flight
plan tested Jan. 31 by an astro
chimp named "Ham."
Glenn, Grissom, and Shepard
will undergo final mental and
physical examinations and dry
run rehearsals on the ground be
tween now and the day that one
of them will be named for the
historic mission. Gilruth said "it
is not possible to forecast exactly
when the first manned mission
will take place." However, indi
cations are that one more unman
ned test of the capsule will be at
tempted next month with a Red
stone, paving the way for a
manned shot on the next rocket.
Senate Opposes
Tax on Lodges
SALEM m The Oregon Senate
passed 25 3 and sent to the House
Tuesday a bill to let fraternal
organizations keep their property
tax exemption.
The bill countermands a recent
State Tax Commission ruling that
would levy the tax on that part
nf lodge properties not used for
charitable purposes.
Voting against it were Sens
Vernon Cook, Troutdalc: Robert
W. Slraub, Eugene: and Monroe
Swcetland, Mllwaukie, all Demo-
crats.
The bill would give lodges and
other fraternal organizations the
same total property tax exemp
tion they had before the new Tax
Commission directive.

out Tuesday.
Propelled by a huca missile.
the space craft roared up from
this missile test center at 9:10
a.m. Tuesday, Traveling at speeds
up to 12,850 miles an hour it
soared 107 miles high and came
down 400 miles northeast ol
Puerto Rico and 1,425 miles from
the launching pad.
Quickly sighted by crewmen of
a waiting plane, the one-ton bell
sudpeu spatecmLi was picKen up
by a helicopter at 9:53 a.m. and
by 10:06 it was aboard a landing
ship.
It was right on target, coming
down wilhin 13 miles of the near
est of waiting ships.
The aim of the trial was to see
what would happen under tha
most severe conditions a return
ing space craft might encounter.
The announcement of apparent
success and of the selection of
three candidates for the first
space ride were mado shortly aft
er noon by Robert Gilruth, man
ager of the Mercury man-in-space
project.
90 DEGREES
Gilruth said:
"Everything on the flight ap
peared to work perfectly. On tha
basis of what we know so far of
the cabin pressure and tempera
ture acceleration experiences, a
man could have survived this
flight But without close examin
ation of the capsule I would like
to make some reservation."
Gilruth said temperatures In
side the cabin never got above 90
degrees.
He declined comment on when
manned flight may be attempt
ed. But officials said earlier that
if Tuesday's shot was a success.
an astronaut probably would take
an up-and-down ride within two
or three months.
Ham, the apace chimpanzee
rode 156 miles down the test
range Jan: 31 and survived with
out apparent harm. His Journey
was in many respects similar to
the first one planned lor an
American astronaut. .
BUFFETED, 8CORCHED
- The National Aeronautics and
I Space. Administration said the -purpose
of Tuesday's flight was "to
qualify the design and structure
of the capsule under the worst
possible re-entry conditions, far.
more severe than could be ex
pected on a normal-orbit, flight
and re-entry." -
"The ' spacecraft, NASA said
before the test, "will be buffeted.
scorched and squeezed aerody
namically as never before, and
hopefully never again.
To do this engineers have
picked flight curves which dupli
cate the most severe re-entry path
the spacecraft could take after an
emergency abort on an orbital
flight." ,
Labor Voting
Bill Approved
SALEM t Legislation to pro
vide for state-conducted elections
to permit employes to decide on
bargaining agents was passed by
the Senate Tuesday ana sent to
the House. There was only one
dissenting vote.
Tho bill would create a state
labor-management relations board
of three members, who would M
appointed by the governor.
When an employer, employe or'
labor union asks the board for
an election, tho board would have
the attorney general investigate.
Then the board could order the
state labor conciliator to conduct
the election.
The bill had the strong support
of employer groups. The Oregon
AFL-CIO said the bill is unnec
essary, but didn't oppose it.
The purpose of the bill is to
provide an elections machinery
for those Oregon firms not cov
ered by federal law. Of the 35,000
Oregon omployers, about halt are
now uncovered by the federal
Landrum-Griftin labor law.
In fact, the bill is a copy of
the federal law, seeking to make
its provisions apply to the intra
state firms.
It is one of two bills prepared
by tho legislative committee on
1 a b o r-management bills. Tha
other bill would provide for en
forcement against unfair labor
and management practices, and
now is in the Senate State and
Federal Affairs Committee.
Employers support the unfair
practices bill, while labor op
poses it. This, too, is a copy ot
federal law.
The main purpose of tha elec
tions bill is to provide a method
whereby employes of a firm can
decide which union, if any, they
want to represent them in bar
gain elections. The Idea Is thus
to prevent or curb jurisdictional
disputes, and prevent unions
from picketing for the purpose of
forcing employers to sign con
tracts. Sen. Monroe Sweetland, D-Wll-waukie,
cast tha only vote against
the bill.
