Move afoot to split i
inference
nterm
By Bill Yates
Bullttln Stiff Wrltir
In a unanimous decision, mem
bers of the District No. 1 School
Board voted last night to oppose
strongly an attempt to divide the
Intermountain Conference into
two sub-districts.
The move is expected to come
at the annual District 7 meeting
at Arlington on December 9.
The Intermountain Conference
is presently composed of Bend,
Redmond, Prineville, Pendleton,
Baiter. La Grande, Hermiscon, and
The Dalles.
However, two other schools in
the district, Madras and Milton-
Freewater have reached A-I sta
tus, and will be added to the con
ference next year. In addition, it
was reported at last night's meet
ins that another school in the dis
trict, Ontario, has also indicated
an interest in being included in
the conference.
Richard Gescr, athletic director
for local schools, attended last
night's meeting to outline the sit
uation to school directors.
He reported that under a plan
expected to be presented at the
Arlington meeting, the conference
would be divided into eastern and
western sub-districts. In the east
ern district would be Pendleton,
Baker, La Grande, Hermiston,
j.Milton-Freewater, and probably
Ontario.
j The western district would be
'composed of Bend, Redmond,
! Prineville, Madras and The Dal
both v.inners would probably get
state tourney bids.
At present these champions are
determined by season play in
which each team in the confer
ence plays each of the other
teams, often referred to as a
"round robin" schedule..
Geser indicated that school of
ficials who are pushing for a
divided conference feci that tra
vel distances between eastern and
western schools in the district are
too great for round-robin play.
Should the district be divided,
Geser noted that schools within
each district would be faced with
a choice in football of playing
each other twice each season a
double round robin or playing
each other once and scheduling
outside teams to fill out the
schedule.
Either way, It was generally
agreed last night, schools would
face difficult scheduling problems.
The athletic director also pre
sented financial estimates which
indicated that the division of the
conference would not result in a
great saving in money.
Board Chairman Bert Hagen
suggested that a divided confer
ence would almost certainly result
in a lessening of interest in foot
ball and basektball in Bend and u
decrease in gate receipts.
"I think it is our obligation to
sec that Bend keeps a good sched-
ule Athletics is a definite and im
portant part of the education pro
j grain. I think people here in the
main are happy the way the con-
dleton a week prior to the Arling
ton meeting.
Jewell told the board that ho is
in favor of keeping the conference
together but he noted that strong
pressure, some of it from Central
Oregon, is developing in favor of
a division.
Board members also discussed
with Geser various financial prob
lems of the athletic department,
including the need for better at
tendance at games. The possibil
ity of shifting a greater share of
the financial load from student
funds to district funds was also
discussed, but no action was
token.
In other business, the board dis
cussed the matter of equipment
used by Central Oregon College. It
has been suggested that the dis
trict might make a gift of thesa
items to the proposed new college
district.
Jewell estimated that the college
inventory would run between $50,
000 and $75,000.
After a short discussion, direc
tors decided to give more study
to the question and indicated that
they would reach a decision at
their next meeting.
All seven directors, including
Ralph Roese, a new member of
the hoard, attended the meeting.
It was held at the district clerk's
iffice.
lerence is now set up. lie added.
In its action, the board voted to
send i;esor and Donald Empey,
senior high principal, to the Ar
lington meeting with instructions
to use their best efforts to keep
the conference intact.
Superintendent R. E. Jewell re
ported that he and Hagen have
been invited to attend a meeting
of superintendents and board
chairmen from the other schools
of the conference to discuss the
situation. It will be held at Pen
les.
The two major sports of foot
ball and basketball would be most
affected by the change. It is pro
posed that schools within each
sub-district play among them
selves to determine a sub district
champion in each sport, with the
winners in each district to play
for the Conference title. In foot
ball, this would determine the
team which would receive a berth
in the state playoff. In basketball

U.S. prepares
to put chimp
around earth
CAPE CANAVERAL UPI -U.S.
scientists today put the finish
ing touches on a 93-foot rocket
scheduled to hurl a chimpanzee
three times around earth this
week.
The shot, which could come as
early as Wednesday morning,
is the final "rehearsal" flight
planned for an attempt to send an
astronaut on America's first
manned orbital voyage within a
few weeks.
The official word on the $400
million Mercury man-into-space
program !s that. If the chimp test
is successful, an all-out attempt
will be made to orbit an astro
naut before the end of this calen
dar year.
However, sources close to the
program said privately that the
chances for a manned orbital
flight before the end of this year
"are mighty slim all but non
' existent"
Early Next Year
Most predicted the mission prob
ably would come sometime
around mid-January or February.
' A full success with the chimp
shot is a prerequisite. The ape,
reported to be a baby female, will
be installed inside a bell-shaped
Mercury capsule and sent soaring
into space about dawn Wednes
day, if all goes according to plan.
The schedule calls for a 4'4
hour voyage three times around
earth roughly 81,000 miles be
fore the animal and the capsule
are brought back to a parachute
landing in the Atlantic Ocean about
1,000 miles southest of Cape Cana
veral. The silvery Atlas-Mercury rock
et was poised on its launching pad
today, undergoing the final checks
needed to make it as safe as pos
sible for the chimp.
Study Effects
In space, the animal will have
a series of comparatively simple
tasks to perform to give scien
tists at ground tracking stations
an idea of how the crushing
weight of blast-off and the weight
lessness in orbit affects a living
creature.
The shot also will be a full
scale test of the vital "life sup
port" system designed to provide
oxygen for the astronaut.
Mercury scientists will keep
tabs on the flight at a scries of
tracking stations girdling the
globe. Plans call for the capsule
to be within radio range of at
least one station at all times dur
ing the voyage.

Brooks-Scanlon
closes its areas
to yule cutting
The Brooks-Scanlon Int. system
of tree farms, which includes
thousands of acres in the eastern
Cascades from Tumalo Creek
north Vuward Sisters, has been
closed to Christmas tree cutting.
The closure includes all Brooks-
Scanlon timber lands in Jefferson,
Crook, Deschutes, Klamath and
Lake Counties.
Company foresters said the un
regulated cutting of Christmas
trees has seriously depleted the
growing stock.
Announcement Made
An announcement from the of
fice of Freeman Schultz. Brooks-
Scanlon Inc., general manager,
states, in part:
"In the past people have always
been welcome to cut their family
trees from these lands. For years
rr.jst of the trees in Bend homes
came from these areas.
"Brooks-Scanlon also furnished
the bulk of the trees sold by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Not Compatible
"Now our forester say that
these practices of long standing
are not compatible with sustained
yield timber management.
"Current tree farm manage
ment decisions dictate that trees
may be cut only in conformity
with sound forest management
principles ana under uie direction
and supervision of company for
esters. "Several areas have been set
aside to study the effect of regu
lated cutting and cultural prac
tices on timber and Christmas
tree production. Results obtained
from these studies will be the ba
sis for future management plan
ning." China accused

NEW DELHI, India (UPD -Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
disclosed today that India had ac-
i cused Communist China of fresh
aggression on India's northern

Nehru releaed to Parliament
the text of a note sent to Peiping
charging that Communist Chi
nese troops were strengthening
their military positions in Ladakh
bordering Tibet where 10 In
dians were killed in border
clash two years ago.
In answer to questions from
members of Parliament. Nehru
said India had strengthened Its
own position in the area, estab
lishing half a dozen military posts
with "bases behind them."
"It's not easy to conduct war

said.

DAILY NEWSPAPER
Vinton Green
to chairman
city planners
By Bill Thompson
Bulletin Steft Writer
Vinton Green took over the
gavel as new chairman of the
Bend Planning Commission Mon
day evening and soon became in
volved in a subject not too dear
to his heart trailers.
Green, an outspoken critic of
any change that would weaken the
Bend zoning structure in regards
to locating trailers in residential
zones, found himself in disagree
ment with an amendment to the
zoning ordinance proposed by the
City Commission.
That change would allow newly
arrived trailer owners to seek a
six - month variance from the
Board of Adjustment before locat
ing in established areas zoned for
trailers.
In Hardship Cases
The variances would be granted
only in extreme hardship cases,
but, once granted, could be re
newed following review of cases
at six-month intervals.
Green said he was not opposed
to allowing a six-month variance,
with one six-month renewal. But
he said he was very much opposed
to more than a one-year maxi
mum extension.
The planners had approved the
amendment at their October
meeting, on the assumption that
the variance would be for a maxi
mum six months.
But City Commission backers of
the amendment, led by T. D. Sex
ton, said the purpose was not to
set a six-month maximum vari
ance but to set up reviews by the
Board of Adjustment every six
months.
Second Reading
So the amendment, scheduled
for a second reading at the No
vember 15 City Commission meet
ing, was once again tossed back
to the planners for their okay on
tlie corrected version.
The planners took no action
either for or against the amend
ment last night. Instead, they ask
ed the City Commission to consid
er two matters:
1. The matter of how many ex
tensions; and
2. The setting up of machinery
to enable adjacent property own
ers some recourse if the trailer is
objectionable.
Commissioner Paul Reasoner,
liason man between the planners
and City Commission, suggested
a 24-month maximum period as a
compromise.
Green, Libby Object.
But Green and veteran mem
ber Alan R. Libby objected to
anything more than a year's ex
tension. The Planning Commission con
tinued to t-ike on a "new look"
with the introduction of the latest
member Mrs. Joan Hamm. Only
other member present Wednesday
was Paid Reynolds, who took over
as a new member last month.
Dr. M B. McKenncy announced
his resignation by phone just prior
to last night's meeting, creating
another vacancy.
Also absent were Richard A.
Carlson, newly-elected to the City
Commission, and George Warring
ton. Carlson Is expected to resign his
post, creating two vacancies.

'JFK proposes
international
control plan
MOSCOW (UPI) President
Kennedy proposed an internation
al administration to control traf
fic on tlie highway lifeline be
tween Berlin and West Germany
in an exclusive interview pub
lished today in tlie Soviet govern
ment newspaper Izvestia.
The interview was obtained by
Izvestia Editor Alexei Adzhubei,
son-in-law of Premier Nikita
Khrushchev, at the President's va
cation home at Hyannis Port,
Mass., Saturday.
"All we want is to maintain
limited and numerically very lim
ited forces of the three powers
in West Berlin and have, for ex
ample, an international adminis
tration for the highway so that
goods and people could go back
and forth without hindrance," the
I President said. "Then we could
secure peace In this area for
many years.
In seeing Adzhubei, Kennedy
granted tlie first exclusive inter
view ever given to a Soviet jour
nalist by an American president
The two men wore together for
two hours, and Adzhubei, frequent
ly advancing his own opinions,
talked almost half as nv.ich as tlie
President. Printing tlie Interview
in Izvestia was an extraordinary
event for tlie Soviet press which
seldom carries remarks by West
ern leaders that are critical of
Russian policy.
Papers Sell Quickly
Ordinary Russians, as usual,
snapped up all copies of Izvestia
from Moscow newstands in about
five minutes. They did not know
until tlie papers were on the
stands that it contained the inter
view.
Tlie President blamed tlie dan
gers to peace on tlie Soviet Un
ion's efforts to "communlze the
world," and made these other
points:
EasMVcst relations: The So
viet Union and the United States
must live together In peace.
War and peace: "I think we
could have peace in this century
in Central Europe if we can
reach an accord over West Ber
lin." Berlin: Any peace treaty sign
ed between the Soviet Union and
the East German regime cannot
dony Western rights in Berlin.
German reunification: Contin
ued division of Germany and Ber
lin increases rather than de
creases world tensions.
Cuba: As long as the Castro
regime does not permit free and
honest elections in Cuba, it can
not claim to represent the Cuban
people.
Free Elections Promised
The satellites: The Yalta and
Potsdam agreements called for
free elections In Eastern Euro),
but these elections have not been
held."

disarmament must be backed up
by inspection controls, or neither
side would have any guarantee
of its security.
Although tlie Soviet newspaper
presented a straightforward tex
tual aecoiuit of the interview, tlie
Soviet news agency Tass, in a
dispatch distributed around tlie
world, resorted to familiar Soviet
propaganda measures.
"Tlie President tried to take
cover behind the old blind of
imaginary 'Communist menace,'"
Tass reported.
In reporting Kennedy's reply to
a question about Cuba, Tass said:
"Kennedy stubbornly tried to
justify his country's policy towards
its small, but heroic neighbor."
( Text Is Released
Tlie" text of Uie interview was'
released by the White House in
Washington shortly after Izvestia
appeared in Moscow. Adzhubei
was en route between London and
Moscow by air on his way home
when tlie interview was published.
In reporting tlie interview, Izves
tia simply said Adzhubei saw Ken
nedy Nov. 25. and then carried
the text of tlie remarks. There
was no news story such as would
appear in the Western press.
Izvestia splashed the interview
across seven columns of its front
page under the headline: "The
interview of President of the Unit-
ed States John Kennedy with Edi
tor in Chief of Izvestia A. I. Ad
