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.

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.

field.
Robert B. Young, vice presi

Dump Load
Of Melons
SCIO, Ore. ( 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.

It said 76 micro-micro-curios

last Friday.
This compared to the previous
high of 24 micro-micro-curies re
corded in Fukuoka, northern

it was far less than the 278

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.

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.

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.
