Glenn Jr. pro posed Monday creation of a national information center into which would be channeled the vast new quantities of space age information. - The Marine lieutenant colonel, first American to orbit the Earth, made the proposal in a speech prepared for delivery to editors and publishers at the annual Asso ciated Press meeting. Glenn said that while a national information center "can be initially organized to cope with the inundation of space information, it can pave the way in many fields I toward 'use systems 01 our Demos Meet, Hear Morse SALEM UH The Democratic State Central Committee elected Robert Welty, The Dalles, its new secretary Sunday.

Wayne Morse, D-Ore., Saturday night criticized both former Vice President Richard Nixon and New York Gov. Nelson Rocke feller in a speech to Democrats here. He called Nixon a "war monger" and he said Nixon took fa shocking position" Saturday when he said the U.S. should "openly support the forces of freedom In lis policy toward Cuha." " Morse said President Kennedy has at all limes fought Commu nism In Cuba "within the frame work of International law." ; He accused Rockefeller of a .shabby performance" in egging on French President Charles dc-1 Gaulle in hopes of embarrassing President Kennedy. knowledge, not just 'file systems By this, he explained, he meant that highly technical in formation would be more easily understood and thus would be better applied in everyday liv ing. "The effect on business and industry alone would probably far surpass the initial outlay of such a system, since an Ameri can businessman with a new idea needs little prodding," Glenn said Of his own field, Glenn said the immediate purpose of the nation a space program is "pro viding transportation to new areas and return." "None of the manned space programs of the future is mere ly to prove that man can adapt and is reliable or can live aboard a space craft," he said. "Tho long range 'pay-off comes when we start using these capa bilities to learn new things." But he emphasized; "We have developed an 'information gap' between the discoverers or the researchers and those who would normally make use of such information." The astronaut also urged re search into ways of increasing our mental capacity to absorb the additional knowledge made available. He noted that the av erage person, according to psy chiatrists, uses only seven- tenths of one per cent of his mental capacity. After reviewing the National Aeronautics and Space Admin istration program to put a man on the Moon, Glenn commented: "We are certainly aware of the 'race' aspects of the lunar mission, but I feel the program is completely worthwhile even if there were no such place as Communist Russia. "We cannot possibly pinpoint all the advantages and benefits that will accrue, but research and exploration have always had a way of paying off in the future, far beyond any expecta tion, and this is the grandest exploration of all time." $7 1 Publishers I AP Wtrephoto) LEADER Sherif Hus sein Iban Nasser Sunday was named prime minis ter of a new caretaker government in J o r d a n.

GOP Group Severs Ties PORTLAND flJPD The Oregon Republican College League changed its constitution Satur day to cut ties with the Young Republican Federation and at tached itself to the Oregon Re publican Club. The action came at the group's annual convention here. The ORCL worked out a one year probationary period with the ORC before a permanent af filiation will be made. The convention turned down by a narrow margin approval of the liberty amendment, which would eliminate the income tax, and rejected a committee's rec ommendation that it endorse Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., for the presidency in 1964. A move to back Gov. Mark Hatfield as a favorite son candi date was defeated when newly elected chairman Raymond J. Redburn, Coos Bay, said the league should concern itself with forming a strong organiza tion to support all candidates and should not become involved in advance endorsements.

Bowers, advanced ar rangement: Mrs. Abo Norman, novice arrangement, and Airs. Paul Kraft Sr., horticulture. The guest book was signed by 143 visitors. Study Labor Technology Newspaper Officials Meeting in N.Y. NEW YORK (UPD The twin problems of labor and advanc ing technology held the spot light for intensive study at the annual meeting of executives of the American daily press open ing here Monday. More than 1.400 executives from the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Bermuda and Ja maica were expected to attend the four-day 77th annual con vention of the American News paper Publishers Assn. (ANPA). Record High Membership The organization membership stands at a record high of 867 daily newspapers representing more than 90 per cent of total daily North American circula tionin an industry which this year has been beset with labor trouble in a time of marked gains in automated production. Following two years of re duced strike activity, newspaper unions in 1962 called 27 strikes against 26 daily newspapers in 17 cities. Minneapolis was hit by a 117-day strike. Cleveland papers were closed by a 126 day strike. New York was blacked out by a 114-day strike shutdown. Implications of the space age, satellite communication, new challenges of news coverage, government policy toward the free flow of news, and congres sional antitrust subcommittee hearings on the newspaper busi ness all were prominent on the discussion agenda. Hold Closed Sessions The convention will end Thursday night with an address by New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller at the annual din- i ner of the ANPA Bureau of Ad vertising. It opened Monday with the annual all-day closed sessions in labor relations, with ANPA President Irwin Maicr, publisher of the Milwaukee Journal and Sentinel, welcom ing the participants. In related meetings, the two press associations opened their annual get-together sessions. The Associated Press invited publishers to its annual lunch for an address by astronaut John H. Glenn. United Press International, at its annual breakfast for members of its regional editors and publishers associations, presented its chief European correspondent. Jo seph W. Grigg, and its Saigon ; bureau manager, Neil Sheehan, with special reports on France and Vict Nam. r SINCE 1872...
