EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Monday, Aug. 13, 1962 Page 3A JFK Salutes Cosmonauts WASHINGTON W President Kennedy has congratulated the Soviet Union on its latest space accomplishment, but American space officials adopted a wait-and-see attitude and withheld offi cial comment. While relaxing over the weekend at Boothbay Harbor, Maine, Kennedy said in a statement: "I congratulate the Soviet Union on this exceptional technical feat and salute the courage of her two new astronauts. The American people, I know, wish them a safe return." In Washington, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said: "Until we know more about the Soviet I mission we can't comment in- Fog Delays President's Flight Home WASHINGTON (UPD Presi dent Kennedy returned Monday from a leisurely weekend of sailing in Maine and huddled with top advisers on the final version of his economic report to the nation tonight. The President's plane landed at Andrews Air Force Base in nearby Maryland following a one-hour, 16-minute flight from Brunswick Naval Air Station, near Boothbay Harbor, Maine. The trip was delayed more than an hour by fog which shrouded the Maine coast. Kennedy flew to Maine Fri day. He and a group of friends occupied the Johns Island home of former heavyweight boxing champion Gene Tunney during the weekend. The party spent much of Saturday on a long sailing cruise aboard the Coast Guard yacht yawl Manitou. Sunday after church the Chief Executive went cruising again but remained at sea only two hours and 20 minutes. Other news development at the Boothbay Harbor White House headquarters over the weekend included the selection of Charles E. "Chip" Bohlen, the State Department's ranking expert on Russia for nomination as the new ambassador to France and Francis H. Russell as the new ambassador to Tunisia. Two Bandits Get $2,000 PORTLAND (UPD Two band Its, one of them armed, tied up the coffee shop manager of the new Continental Motel on East Burnside Street Monday and robbed the safe of an estimated $2,000. Ray Kcnncwick, who was trussed partly with his own necktie, told police he had opened the safe in preparation of the day's business when he was confronted by an armed man, neatly dressed. Kcnnewick said he was told to "get back inside that room" by the bandit. The robber wired Kenncwick's hands behind his back, taped his mouth and bound his feet with the victim's own necktie. Kennewick said the robber then let in an accomplice and the two scooped the cash from the open safe and fled. Kcnnewick staggered to his feet and struggled into the hall way, where he attracted the at tention of a waitress. Dropout Rate Low, Peace Corps Reports WASHINGTON W Only 13 of the 1,123 Peace Corps volun teers sent overseas since last summer have dropped out and returned home, reports director Sargent Shriver. He termed the figures, an nounced Sunday, "an incredible showing indicative of the high caliber of our volunteers." Eleven of the returnees are men and two are women. lMXERC.CLE. tclligently about it." American televiewers saw films of the two Soviet cosmo nauts orbiting the earth in twin Spaceships. The films were flown to New York after they were recorded in London from Eurovision broadcasts picked up from Moscow. ABC, CBS and NBC then transmitted them Sun day across their television net works, American radio listeners also heard recordings of the voices of cosmonauts Andrian Niko layev and Pavel Popovich re porting back from their orbital flight. Telstar Plan Rejected A further treat was denied American viewers when, accord ing to NBC, the Soviet Union rejected a joint proposal from the three networks that an at tempt be made Monday to trans mit live television from the So viet spaceships via the Telestar satellite. Although U.S. space officials would not be quoted by name, it was clear that America once again was behind in the space race for the moon. Astronaut Malcolm Scott Carpenter, who circled the earth three times last May, put it this way: "We're behind and trying our best to catch up." Carpenter, vacationing at Palmer Lake, Colo., voiced con fidence in the U.S. space pro gram and said the Russian dual orbit would not alter it. "We've got a good plan put together by intelligent men and we're stick ing to it," he said. Earlier, the Soviet news agency Tass reported that a message from Carpenter, re ceived in Moscow via The As sociated Press, had been relayed to spaceman Nikolayev while he was in orbit. 'Happy Landings' The message, given by Car penter Saturday in an interview with the Denver Post was: "Congratulations on your feat. I would like to exchange places with you, if that were possible, for I would like once more to be on a flight myselt. I wish you a successful accom plishment of your mission. Happy landings." Expression of best wishes came, too, from a -NASA offi cial at Cape Canaveral, Fla., who asked not to be identified. "I wish the two Russian pilots the best of luck and congratulate the men who put them up," he said. "This is a tremendous accomplishment." The official added: "It prob ably will take a mircale for us to beat them to the Moon. They vc got a great head start and their great booster power may keep them there. We can't hope to match them for a number of years." The next U. S. space step is scheduled for late next month, when astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr. is launched on a planned six-orbit flight of about nine hours. Schirra, busy train ing for his mission, had no com ment on the Russian launchings.

W) A rocket manufacturing firm ex ecutive has suggested that Rus sia's latest successful manned orbital flights may mean the Soviet Union is ahead of the United States in a vital space field. Robert B. Young, vice presi dent and manager of the liquid rocket plant at Aerojet-General Corp., says they may have de veloped a cyclical life support system. Young said the U.S. has been working on a system to produce a continued supply of oxygen, food and water, needed to sus tain life on long flights to the Moon and beyond. Richard D.

( Thirty-two freight cars of watermelons were dumped near the commu nity of Scio Sunday afternoon. Men who identified them selves as train workers threw the melons out of the cars onto the Southern Pacific freight track right-of-way. The men said the melons were old and had started to spoil. Many residents of the area thought the melons were per fectly good and picked up un broken ones and caught others as they were thrown out of the cars. In Portland, a spokesman for the Southern Pacific said the ears had been refused by con signees and had been piling up in me Portland yards for two weeks and more. Some of the melons were presumed good and some were not, but they were spoiling rapidly. They were dumped in an area where they could then be buried, the spokesman said. Japanese Report Radioactivity Up TOKYO WV-The Central Mete orological Agency said Monday it has detected this years high est amount of radioactivity believed scattered by a Russian nuclear blast early this month. It said 76 micro-micro-curios of radioactivity per one cubic meter of dust were measures in Osaka, central western Japan, last Friday. This compared to the previous high of 24 micro-micro-curies re corded in Fukuoka, northern Kyushu Island, last Jan. 8. But it was far less than the 278 micro-microcuncs detected in Osaka last Nov. 8 shortly after Russia exploded a 50-megaton nuclear bomb.

Lawmakers Undismayed By Red Feat Confidence Voiced In U.S. Program WASHINGTON (UPD Chair man George P. Miller of the House Space Committee told Congress Monday that the United States will overcome Russia's lead in outer space. But the California Democrat praised the twin Soviet orbiting as an "impressive technological feat." Miller said the meeting of the two capsules more than 100 miles above the Earth proved that the rendezvous technique was possible. He said U.S. officials knew for at least a year the Soviet Union had designed the equip ment to accomplish the mission. Miller said, however, that the U.S. space program was vig orous and that "in the long run we will overtake Russia." Larger Boosters He said Russia's early de velopment of a larger booster permitted it to place 14,000 pounds into Earth orbit. This is considerably more weight than any U.S. rocket will now place in orbit. But Miller said both the United States and Russia will have to develop even larger rockets before being able to launch the "several hundred thousands pound capsules" which will be needed for a man ned trip to the Moon. Three other congressional ex perts have agreed that there is no reason to re-examine Ameri ca's space program. Instead, they feel that the U.S. program is moving ahead and will move even faster when more powerful booster rockets are developed. The legislators Sens. War ren G. Magnuson, D-Wash., and Pessard L. Holland, D-Fla., and Rep. Olin E. Tcaguc, D-Tcx. did not appear dismayed Sun day that the United States might be behind in the race. 'Solid, Feasible Plans' "We have some very solid, feasible technical plans in the same field as the Russians have," Magnuson said. "The fact that one is ahead of the other doesn't necessarily mean any thing." Magnuson and Holland are members of the Senate Space Committee. Magnuson s subcom mittee approved at $3.7 billion space budget on Saturday. Tcague, a member of the House Space Committee, said, "our space program is on solid ground." Holland saw the Soviet feat as a new challenge to the United States. He said it was a step leading up to an effort to ren dezvous two capsules in space, a technique the United States also plans to attempt, Tcague said the Soviet Union had chalked up more spectacu lar space shots but that the United States had performed important technical feats. 'A : Wants to Learn English Lone Japanese Crosses Pacific SAN FRANCISCO Wi A Japanese youth who crossed the Pacific alone in a 19-foot sailboat sake and fresh fish wants to stay in the United States two years to learn English. The plans of Kenich! Horie, 23, of Osaka, are somewhat cloud ed by the fact he arrived without passport, visa, immunization record, proof of financial stability While the U.S. Immigration Service, the Public Health Service and the Japanese consulate work on the problem, Horie is stay ing at the home of a consulate employe in amiable protective custody. Horie sailed into San Fran cisco Bay Sunday after a three- month voyage from Osaka. The surprised U.S. Coast Guard escorted him to St. Francis yacht harbor and called for the immigration service. With the aid of his Japanese- English dictionary Horie got across to officials his plan to stay two years and learn Eng lish. Then he passed around cups of sake to curious on lookers. The Coast Guard studied the little sailboat with small cabin forward and found only a tiny radio-direction finder, sextant and a compass. No auxiliary engine or radio communications gear encumbered Horie. Obviously one hell of a navi gator," mused one Coast Guard man. Horic's family in Osaka was overjoyed at the news of his ar rival. The Japanese government, which had given him up for dead, said it was astounded. Japan had denied Horie a passport on the ground the plan ned trip was suicidal. His family was against it, too, but explained that Horie was a determined, adventurous youth. Hone proudly showed Coast Guardmen and reporters around his little sail boat. His tiny cabin contained a soggy cardboard carton of books ranging from English grammars and Japanese novels to ukelcle songbooks and navigation tables. A red plastic water container was still more than half full. A side cupboard contained instant coffee, instant cream, tiny can ned Japanese plums, glass vials of liquid vitamins and a can opener. Living in Brothel PARIS wi Ten European families who fled Algeria after independence are living in what was once a Paris brothel. The families, including 42 children, moved into the vacant five-story building because they were un able to find other housing. Brothels were shut down in Paris after World War II.

Boats Clog River Mouth ASTORIA im Twenty-two hundred fishermen's boats were on the Columbia River over the weekend, the Coast Guard esti mates, but the bar was calm and there were no important mis haps. The Coast Guard made 20 tows of stalled boats, but they were mostly routine. Veteran guardsmen said they were dismayed, though, to find three people in a stalled 11-foot outboard powered boat out of gas at the river's mouth. The overload in the small craft left only six inches of freeboard. This warning was issued for next weekend: Minus tides will make the bar rough in the morn ings. Because of the great number of small craft out on good days, the Coast Guard helicopter from Port Angeles will be on patrol at the river mouth on Saturdays and Sundays until Labor Day. Space Needle Elevator Sticks SEATTLE IM It took 28 cus tomers 90 minutes to get to the top of the Space Needle Sunday by elevator. It stuck. A small electrical fire at the base of the Needle set off safety devices that braked the ascend ing elevator at about the 100 foot level. Repairs required an hour and a half. The passengers waited out the time patiently. Women took off their shoes, children sat on the floor and everyone became acquainted. No one panicked. All agreed the view was great, but become a little monotonous. KAOSMC TU.E Exciting new hobby See big selection at , . . McDaniel Lumber Co. 240 Hirer Rd. Loaded with powerl Lavish with features!
