facing new
slide dangers
By United Press International
California's unrelenting rains
triggered rock and mud slides
which threatened homes and
blocked railway tracks today. A
midwestern snow storm was
blamed for the crackup of two
trains in Minnesota.
Wintry weather oppressed vast
portions of the nation. Ten inches
of snow piled up in Minnesota and
heavy snow warnings were up for
parts of Michigan and Wisconsin.
Rain and snow knifed into the
Southland. Thunderstorms boomed
over areas in Florida, Alabama
and Georgia.
The weather was blamed for a
rash of mishaps, some of them
tragic. A three-day count of fatal
ities blamed on the weather rose
to 2516 in New England. 6 in Il
linois, 2 in California and 1 in
Wisconsin.
Near Vienna, 111., Thursday
night, five persons were killed
and three were injured when a
car skidded into another on a rain
slicked highway. Two men were
killed when a 20-ton truck smash
ed into an auto in a chain-reaction
pileup in the fog near Hartford,

Glenn shot
now planned
for Tuesday
CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI)-It
happened again to John Glenn to
day. Because of bad landing-area
weather, his effort to orbit the
globe was postponed for the 10th
time and rescheduled for next
Tuesday.
For the third day in a row, the
40-year-old astronaut and all his
equipment were ready. But the
wind-tossed Atlantic Ocean was
not. Shortly after 1 a.m., EST,
project Director Walter Williams
said through a spokesman:
"Weather conditions preclude a
launching attempt."
Glenn was reported taking the
delays in stride although they
date back to early December.
In Cape Area
Officials of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration
(NASA) said that during his new
waiting period, the astronau will
remain in the cape area and con
tinue "dry-run" checkouts in his
Friendship-7 spacecraft
Fuel will be drained from his
Atlas rocket, to be replaced after
the preliminary countdown re
sumes on Monday.
Lt Col. John A. Powers, chief
spokesman for Project Mercury,
said weather experts were "more
optimistic" abort the outlook for
landing conditions Tuesday. And
he noted that the delay would
give project personnel a break
from their strenuous duties.
Postponement Expected
Space agency spokesmen had
indicated before the "scrub" an
nouncement that hopes were not
too high for a launching today.
This was borne out by Glenn's
statement after he was awakened
and told the news: "I guess it
was to be expected. We all knew
the weather was marginal."
Earlier, newsmen asked how
Glenn was taking all this. They
quoted him as saying:
This mission has been in prep
aration for a long time. I can't
get particularly shook up about a
couple of days delay. As a mat
ter of fact, I'm so happy to have
been chosen to be the pilot for
this mission that I'm not about
to get panicky over these delays.
"I learned very early in the
flight test business that you have
to control your emotions. You
don't let 'these kinds of tilings
throw you or affect your ability
to perform a mission."
Glenn has maintained a fine
physical edge for the trip

Russians defy
West warning
on air corridors
BERLIN (UPD The Russians
today defied a Western warning
against interference with Allied
air traffic and again demanded
exclusive use of part of the Berlin
air corridors for their own planes.
A Soviet embassy spokesman
here said harassing flights by
Russian planes undoubtedly would
continue.
The West did not disclose , what
action it would take if the Rus
sians continued to interfere with
air traffic. But the Allies long
have had a plan to use fighter
escorts for transports if the Rus
sians harassed their flight
Western sources said the Allied
powers were told that Soviet
planes would need all the air
space below 7.500 feet in the Bar-
Un-to-Hamburg corridor from 9:30
a.m. to noon today.
Sixth Time
This was the sixth time in nine
days the Soviets have tried to
claim at least part of one of the
three corridors for their private
use. Each time, the Allies refused
to honor the demand and flew
regular military and civilian
transport flights in the corridors.
The Russians have retaliated
by harassing the Allied planes by
flying close to them. Thursday,
Russian jet fighters flew within
20 feet of an American military
transport and shadowed others.
Alexander J. Bogomolov, the
Soviet press attache at the em
bassy in East Berlin, said the
Russians have no plans to change
their tactics.
"So far as I know, they will
continue as they have," he told
UPI.
Power Corridors
You must remember those
corridors are four-power corri
dors, not just three-power. Be
sides, why haven't you protested
before now if you re unhappy?
Bogomolov was asked if Soviet
MIG fighters would continue the
aerial acrobatics they have used
without filing flight plans with the
allied flight control center.
'Why should they do anything
different from what they've been
doing?" he asked. "Besides, that
is a military question. Why not
ask them (the military)?"
CAREER OR MARRIAGE
CHICAGO (UPI) Superior
Court Judge David A. Canel told
Marvin Labahn, 49, Wednesday
he would cancel Mrs. Lillian La
bahn's separate maintenance suit
on the condition that Labahn end
his career as a square dance
caller.
In addition to the scores of par
ticipants from Pacific Northwest

ever held in the Bend area. For
merly, the carnival, under spon
sorship of Portland State College,
was held at Mount Hood.
The college carnival will open
a week from today and last

bare in areas where it had been
worn off by car traffic. Flurries
were also reported from the Wil
lamette divide, where there were
dangerous spots of ice.

snow and rain intermingled. The
storm appeared to be spreading

Kennedys make
unexpected stop
BANDUNG. Indonesia 'UPD
Attorney General Robert Kennedy
was forced to make an unsched
uled stop in Semarang today be
cause of storms on his flight from
Bali to Bandung.
The President's brother and his
wife were in a Czech-built Indo
nesian airliner which does not
have a pressurized cabin and was
not able to climb to a hign alti
tude and fly over the storms.
But two American-built Convairs
carrying newsmen had pressurized
cabins and were able to avoid
the storms without the stop.
Officials in Bandung said Ken
nedy's plane vould be delayed in
Semarang, which is about 150
miles east of Bandung, and might
be forced to land later at Jakarta
instead of Bandung.
The island of Bali provided an
exotic three hours for the Ken
nedys. They saw a furious pageant
of good and evil, were blessed by
bearded priests in a moss-covered
temple, and were showered with
rose petals and sprinkled with
perfume by Balinese maidens.
Bandung Is the Kennedys' third
stop on a tour of the Indonesian
provinces.

The play, a sophisticated piece
by George Axelrod, was a smash
hit on Broadway and in its movie
adaptation. It presents a combi
nation of realistic and dream se
quences which make amusing en
tertainment for the audience and
give an opportunity for unusual
lighting effects and fade-out tech
niques.
The story is about a New York
City junior executive in the pocket
book publishing business who has
been left alone to sweat it out
during the hot sticky summer
while his wife and son enjoy the
cool breezes of the Northeast
mountains. The executive, played

atmospheric nuclear testing by
the United States or Russia.
Organized under the label "Turn

rived throughout the night and
this morning by bus, train, plana
and automobile, armed with pla
cards and literature. They called
for concrete steps toward disarm
ament. They began picketing In front of
the White House about 9:30 a.m.,
with about 200 participants. The
picket ranks steadily grew as the
young men and women, many of .
the men sporting beards and girls
in leotards, received assignments
at temporary headquarters set up
in a church basement
More Than 1,000
Sponsors ...said there .would be
more than 3,000 pickets by Sat
urday. They said it would he the
most massive White House pick

Test Kills." "We Condemn Both
Soviet and U.S. Testing," and
"Join Us in Free Discussions 01
Cold War Issues."
The demonstrations will be cli

Many of the students, red-eyed
after all-night bus rides from as
far as Boston and Minneapolis,
carried sleeping bags on their
backs as they arrived for the two-

a couple of churches agreed to
let demonstrators bed down to
night, but there was a problem
trying to find a place for every

The gradual land movement, in

The slipping started last Thurs
