Subdivision plan ruled illegal SALEM 'IT! ) A subdivision plan submitted to the Harney Countv court by a private group for a high desert country project south of Burns is illegal. Ally. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton said to day. He told Harney County Dist. Aitv Irvina C. Allen that the county court should reject the plan for at least two reasons: 11) A preliminary application and tentative map were not submitted to the county court as the law requires, and '2 the subdivision was surveved for the subdivider by the Harney County surveyor in a private capacity. This makes the county surveyor Ineligible to act in his official capacity of ap proving the plan. Alien asked for the opinion. The plan is backed by a corpo ration earently backed by Cali fornia irtrrests. Thornton said. The plan wmild subdivide a large s.x-tion into tract of about too acres. nn Sixteen Pages Tax Research official to give talk on Monday Louise Humphrey, executive secretary of Oregon Tax Re search, will speak Monday noon at the weekly meeting of the Bend Kiwanis Club at the Pine Tavern.

Girlie show at Seaffle Fair closed SEATTLE (UPI) The Seattle Board of Theater Supervisors closed down a World's Fair night spot Wednesday because it em ployed a pretty young girl in a Showbox to beckon and lure cus tomers. It was the only one of several racy shows on Show Street to be closed. The show. Girls of the Galaxy, featured showgirls in various stages of undress. The board ap parently was not as concerned Willi what went on inside the the ater as they were with what pass ersby could see from the outside. "The girl promenaded out there in the window," John Peluso, board chairman, said. "She strut ted and beckoned to people like a hawker. Comments from the men w ere not in good taste. Their calling back to her was crude." Peluso said he personally heard ribald comments from men pass ing by while children and unes corted young ladies were nearby. He also contended the show had been changed from the original production which the board had previewed and passed, originally Peluso said, bare-breasted girls had remained motionless in the background while the central en tertaining figure was fully clothed. But when he saw the show Sunday night, he said, bare-breasted girls in tight leotards "promenaded out to the edge of the stage and when they moved around the itage it was something. Arthur Townsen, Las Vegas, Nev., producer of the Galaxy show said he could not understand what was wrong. He hung a sign on the admission window saving: "Closed for remodeling interior area."

BEND Bend, Wagner entry similar to one made at Eagles The second burglary this week, both with the same modus oper andi, hit Bend last night. Wagner's Supermarket at the corner of Greenwood and East Third, was the target. Burglars drilled a hole in the roof, just as they did last Sunday night at the Eagles Lodge, to make their en try. Missing was a box containing store change. Owner Irl Wagner estimated that it contained be tween $150 and $300. He said it will take some lime to determine the exact amount. Holes Drilled The burglars drilled holes in a straight line with a brace and bit, then pushed the hole in the roof through. They got inside by using a retractible ladder, just as they did in the Eagles Lodge job, police said. Once inside, they used a key which was hanging near the front cash register to open the business office door. They rifled drawers and dumped papers on the floor in a search for money. Only tiling missing, as far as police can determine, was the box containing the store change. Neither of two sates in tne store was opened. The burglars left through a back door, opened with the same keys they used to open the office. Same Burglars? Police surmised that the job was the work of the same burg lars who entered the Eagles Lodge. They also said it appear ed to be someone who knew that keys to the office were always left in front of the store. Damage to the office was ex tensive and store officials were busy this morning cleaning It up. The Eagles Lodge burglary net ted about $60, all from pinball machines. Secrecy shrouds AF launchings POINT ARGUELLO, Calif. (UPD The Air Force today launched two secret satellites from this Pacific missile range base presumably intended to gain more information on radiation in space and how to defend the na tion against nuclear aiiacK. The Air Force at first an nounced it fired a satellite em ploying a four-stage Blue Scout booster combination. Five hours later, it issued a second terse an nouncement that a satellite pow. ered by an Atlas Agena-B Booster combination was launched. Thia was similar to tlw known com bination used In previous "sky spv tests. In neither case was there dis closure of whether the satellite attained orbit, or what either was intended to do. A recent Defense Department order prohibits more than brief announcements of missiles In tended to acquire information of possible military or defense na- CENTRAL OREGON'S Deschutes County, Oregon, Thursday, April 26, 1962 to ppsl anger moon in new space triumph GOLDSTONE TRACKING STA- tion, Calif. (UPI) America scored an historic space triumph today when its Rangcr-4 space craft boomeranged into the far side of the moon, marking the Free World's first hit on the lunar surface. The impact was confirmed by scientists of Cal Tech's Jet Pro pulsion Laboratory 45 minutes after the space package disap peared behind the moon. "It definitely hit the moon," said Clifford I. Cummings, lunar project director, as jubuant scien tists exchanged pats on the back at this desert tracking station. Director William H. Pickering said Naturally we are very pleased. ..It is a great delight. The spacecraft plunged to de struction on the moon's hidden side at 4:49 a.m. PST to achieve what scientists hailed as a "tre mendous guidance success" to ward future space exploration by man. "It is the first step toward, man eventually walking on the moon," Cummings said. The historic space feat was the first hit on the moon in nearly four years and 11 tries for scien tists who built the moon probe vehicle. But scientists conceded it was a "lucky accident" on the part of the Ranger which failed in its prime mission of taking lunar pic tures and landing a 300-pound space capsule on the face of the moon. The Ranger crashed in unknown lunar terrain after passing the outside edge of the illuminated half of the moon by 900 miles and then looping back into the far side at 6,000 miles an hour under gravitation pull. It covered the 238,857 mue jour ney to the moon in 63 hours 59 minutes 45 seconds. Because the spacecraft's electronic brain failed early in its voyage, the Goldslone Tracking Station, se cluded in the desert here, was Plane blown up by terrorists ALGIERS, Algeria (UPI)-Ter-rorists blew up a four-engine air liner parked at Maison Blanche Airport today. There was no im mediate report of casualties. The explosion ripped an American-built Lockheed Constellation which belonged to Air Algeria.

Univ. of Oregon Library EUGENE, OREGON C Angry blast by Flemming marks probe WASHINGTON (UPD- Arthur S. Flemming, defense mobilizes during tiie Eisenhower adminis tration, angrily accused Senate investigators today of questioning him unfairly. Flemming s flaroup came before a special subcommittee investi gating the nation's stockpile of strategic materials. He offered to take a leave of absence as president of the Uni versity of Oregon to concentrate on supplying the subcommittee further background on his actions while heading the stockpile pro gram. Flemming said Uiat for the first time in his career he had been charged, in effect, with being less than candid before a congression al investigating committee. "I have never witliheld any thing," he said. "I'm trying to co operate with the committee to the fullest extent." Minute Details Flemming, who was defense mo bilizer from 1953 to 1957, said the subcommittee headed by Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo., was ask ing him to reconstruct minute de tails of stockpile transactions. The frauties of human memory, he said, prevented him from re calling specific conversations with government officials regarding stockpile policies. Flemming was recalled today by the subcommittee for more questioning about windfall profits collected by government copper suppliers during the Eisenhower administration. Flemming assumed full respon sibility for policy permitting the profits. He appeared at day-long hearings Wednesday. Symington said it was noble ol Flemming to take the ultimate blame. But the Missouri Demo crat said the investigators were more interested in finding out who originated the policy.

Ten Cents Russians put up satellite, 4th in series MOSCOW (UPD - The Soviet Union successfully launched a fourth satellite today in a series of space tlights apparently de signed to open the way for land ing a man on the moon. The Russian announcement of its second successful satellite launching this week came as the crippled American spacecraft Ranger IV hit the moon, the first successful American moon shot. Today's launching of an un manned satellite called Cosmos IV was reported by the official Sov iet Tass news agency and broad cast by Moscow Radio. Cosmos I was launched March 16, Cosmos II April 6, and Cos mos III last Tuesday. The Radio Moscow broadcast said Cosmos IV carried scientific apparatus "for continuation of cosmic space in accordance with the program announced March 16." 4 steel firms draw indictment by grand jury NEW YORK (UPD A federal grand jury today Indicted four steel companies on charges of conspiring to fix prices and rig bids and sales o stool torgings to the Army, Navy and other purchasers. The four companies named in the indictment were U.S. Steel Corp., Bethlehem Steel Co., Mid-vale-IIcppenstall Co., and Erie Forgo. They were accused of rigging bids in violation of tlio Sherman Antitrust Act, on forgings such as ship shafts sold to the Navy and in ordnance pieces sold to the Army. The defendant companies and their coconspirators do about $220 million in busmess in steel torg ings. The Indictment came 16 days after U.S. Steel boosted prices that brought down the wrath of President Kennedy. Unprecedented pressure from the White House and die refusal of two big com petitors to go along with Hie price hike forced U.S. Steel and other companies to rescind the price in crease three days later. The entire stock market, led by U.S. Steel, took another tumble immediately after the announce ment of the grand jury action.

No. 120 'Necessity' for new tests is stressed WASHINGTON (UPI) Secre tary of State Dean Rusk said to day the United States will con tinue to press hard for an end to the arms race while the atmos pheric nuclear test series is going on in the Pacific. In somber tones Rusk told his news conference this country re grets the "necessity" for the new U.S. tests but has no regret over its decision to go ahead. Rush gave his views at a news conference as the giant U.S. task force in the Pacific prepared ad ditional test explosions In the scries dubbed Operation Dominic. The new U.S. atmospheric test scries began Wednesday when a plane dropped a medium-yield bomb that exploded in the air over British controlled Christinas Island. The device was believed to have unleashed an explosive force of at least 100,000 tons of TNT. It was the first U.S. above ground blast since October, 1958. One source said it was possible the next shot in the series mtht come within 24 hours. He pointed out that President Kennedy said the tests would be expedited ai rapidly as possible. Costs Are Important The uncertainty of weather con ditions and the cost of maintain ing a large force in the area until (he tests are completed also would prompt expeditious treatment for Ihe tests, the source said. "Just look at the Russian tests and you can see that we aren't going to lose any time if we can avoid it, he said. Rush denounced what he called "strident language" now coming from the Communist bloc con demning the U.S. test series. He said this, however, merely re flects the "weakness" of their ar guments. The secretary told newsmen that the United States could never accept a test ban treaty with the Russians based or, blind trust that it would never place the se curity of the American people and the Free World in the hands of those who operate in secrecy. Rusk said the United Stales will pursue a two-fold policy: First, to conduct selected testa which he said would generate con siderably less power in megatons and fallout than Russia's test series last fall. Ho said none ot the tests would be conducted for political or psychological reasons. Second, to make every pos sible effort to achieve a nuclear test ban at the earliest occasion. He said the Geneva disarmament talks now going on should con tinue. The U.S. reasons for the tests were summarized Wednesday by the State Department which said "the decision. . .was taken reluc tantly and with awareness of our responsibility as the most power ful defender of the Free World and in the absence of an effective treaty to halt such tests." Rusk said in a speech Wednes day night that the United State! must maintain "a military force of such undeniable power that no rational decision could be made to attack the Free World." Showers in next 24 hours seen for Mid-Oregon Central Oregon can expect at least a few showers in the next 24 hours. Tills was the forecast from the Portland district otfice today as clouds covered the Cascades, In dicating that the prediction may be correct. Light rain was laiung in the Cascades this morning.
