Linville of the local National Guard unit moves a vacuum cleaner into a M42 self- propelled anti-aircraft unit in preparation for an open house to be held Sunday, May 20, at the Bend Armory from I to 5 p.m. Carpenter orbit flight postponed to next Tuesday CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) A parachute problem that plagued the space voyage of John Glenn three months ago returned Thurs day to haunt America's second manned orbital flight and forced a new postponement until next Tuesday. U.S. scientists decided at a top level conference Thursday night the trouble posed too much of a threat to the life of spaceman elect M. Scott Carpenter to risk going ahead with the launching Saturday as scheduled. The three - day delay, third schedule hitch in little more than a week, will be used to install ad ditional equipment to make the critical parachute system, de signed to lower the astronaut and his capsule to a soft ocean land ing, even more safe, officials said. Carpenter, a 37-year-old Navy lieutenant commander who had been described as awaiting his planned three-orbit space flight "as anxiously as a kid at Christ mas," attended the conference and took the decision with an of ficial grumble. The postponement "gives me a better chance to work with confi dence," a formal announcement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) quoted him as saying. otice: Temporary Location of WETLE'S Will Be In The Hunnsll Motors Bldg. 835 Bond St. Office Will Open Saturday Morning, May 19 Accounts May Be Paid At This Address Again In 1963 Bachelor Butte site picked for Carnival Bachelor Butte, in the Cascades 20 miles west of Bend, will again be the setting for the Intercol legiate Winter Carnival in 1963.

Ui considers, live Atlas test in Pacific area WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States today was reported considering the launching of an Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a nuclear war head for detonation in the Pa cific testing area near Christmas Island. If the project is carried out, the missile would fly approximately 3.000 miles before the test explo sion, presumably at considerable altitude. It would be launched from Vandenbcrg Air Force Base, north of Los Angeles. Both the Atomic Energy Com mission and the Defense Depart ment refused to comment on the report. Informed sources, however, in dicated there had been some re vival of the long-range Atlas test proposal, which at one time had been considered and rejected. The rejection was based on a belief that there would be too much risk involved in the possi bility that the Atlas would mis fire in the launching or would later veer off course. Since then, however, the Navy has fired a Polaris missile carry ing a nuclear warhead about 1.200 nautical miles 1,380 statute miles before detonation in the Christ mas Island area. Scientists were said to have represented to the government that they can assure equal safety in the Atlas firing. The Polaris was fired from the nuclear- powerea suomanne r-uian -" ill Rt-a. The one ton Atlas warhead h.is an explosive force several times that of the Polaris. Although tne test information is secret, it is believed unofficially that the Po laris warhead is equal to about 500,000 to 600,000 tons of TNT. RED ADMIRAL DIES MOSCOW (UPI) Adm. Ar seny Golovko, first deputy com mander in chief of the Soviet navy and World War II head of the Russian northern feet In the Arctic, died Thursday. Baron's eyes were blackened. There was a long gash under his left eye which he said was result of Hoffa's blows in a scuffle Thursday morning in the teamster president's office. Hoffa refused to comment on on the charges to newsmen. He said he would leave the matter to his lawyer, H. Clifford Allder. who appeared with the teamster chief tliis morning. Baron's apartment was guarded by two deputy marshals today Early turnout lightest in Bend history The lightest pre-noon vote in the history of a primary election was cast in Bend today. Part of the light vote was at tributed to the fact that polls, operating on standard time, did not open until 9 a.m., daylight time. The late opening prevented most people from casting ballots before going to work. Up to 11 o'clock, only 11 voters had balloted in Precinct No. 8, at the Pilot Butte Inn, with Republi cans and Democrats runnine 'neck and neck." GOP voters there at that hour had cast six ballots, and Democrats, S. However, Democrats were ahead 9 to 6 at Precinct No. 7, where the total at 11 o'clock was IS. Eight of the registered voters at 11A had voted at the same hour, with the GOP and the Dem ocrats splitting 4 to 4. Light vot ing was reported from all parts of town. Polls will remain open until 9 o'clock, daylight time, tonight, and a comparatively heavy eve ning vote is expected. The Bend Bulletin, radio sta tion KBND and the Redmond Spokesman are cooperating in covering the election, and returns will be broadcast on KBND until it is possible to predict the out come of all races. Staffers of the three news organizations will be tunneling information to press services, as part of t-vo huge state-wide reporting forces. On the local level, interest is centered in the Central Oregon College bond issue and levy, the race for Democratic candidate for county commissioner, and the candidate for U.S. Representa tive. - - Special to The Bulletin PRINEVILLE Early voting in Prineville was considerably heavier than normal, because of interest in local issues. The fluor idation issue is credited Willi get ting out the large voter turnout. Around stafe PORTLAND (UPD Oregon voters picked candidates for one U.S. Senate seat, four congression al berths, governor, and other of fices today in an off-year primary election which has generated in terest only in a few major races. Official forecasts indicated about 65 per cent of the state's 854,102 registered voters would turn out in partly cloudy weather. Polls opened in six counties, in cluding the Portland area, at 8 a.m. PDT and an hour later in the 30 counties officially on stand ard time. All will close at 8 p.m.. local time. Most interest in the election centered on nominations of can didates to oppose Democratic Sen. Wayne Morse, Republican Gov. Mark Hatfield, and for the Demo cratic bid for the seat being given up by Republican Rep. Edwin Durno. Crowded Race Durno, a Medford physician, entered the crowded Republican senatorial primary.

Baron, field director of the teamsten warehouse division, said "it would be absolute sui cide" for anyone to testify against Hoffa on the charges that the un ion leader knocked him down twice and shoved him over a chair. If found guilty, Hoffa would face a maximum penalty of a year In jail and a $.VJ0 fine. Baron said "If anything hap puns to me, at least it will be OAS issues threaf In Solan frhl PARIS (UPD-The Secret Army Organization threatened today to kill the judges and prosecutor in the trial of former Gen. Raoul Salan for his role as leader of the OAS If they condemn him to death. Court President Charles Bornet announced that all the judges of Uie special court had received loi ters from the OAS threatening their lives if a sentence of death is passed on Salan. State Prosecutor Andre Gaval- da first told the court that he had received a letter from OAS lead er ex-Col. Yves Godard threaten- him with death if Salan and ing ex-Gen. Edmond Jouliaud are ex ecuted. The death threats were disclosed when a Moslem deputy from Al geria spoke of the "good will" of Godard, one of the colonels lead ing the secret army who is still at large. "Talk about good will," Gavalda said, "I have just received a threatening letter from the OAS, signed by Godard." Nikita says U.S. be driven out of Thailand OBNOVA, Bulgaria (UPI)-So- viet Premier Nikita Khrushchev said today that American forces sent into Thailand "will be driven out." "It is only a question of time," Khrushchev added. Speaking at a welcoming cere mony as he arrived In this col lective village on his Bulgarian tour, Khrushchev also said the Soviet Union will resume nuclear testing. It was "stupidity," Khrushchev said, to send U.S. troops into Thailand. "The President (Kennedy) has ordered American troops into Thailand," Khrushchev said in reference to the American deci sion to help defend the borders of Thailand against any Commu nist encroachment from neighbor ing Laos. Ouostion of Tim 'However, the Americans will be driven out of Thailand. It is only a question of time. They are afraid of not only losing Laos but also losing Thailand. The best tiling the United States could do is to give up playing the role of international policeman." Khrushchev did not say who would drive the Americans out of Thailand, but the implication ap peared to be that this would be done by the Thais. "In Viet Nam. Khrushchev said, "the French fought for seven vears and tnc Americans may fight for 15 years. But they will get out of there. "In North Viet Nam where the people are in power, creative work is done. In South Viet Nam, where the Americans are, blood is being shed." "Blood Will Bo Shed" Of Kennedy's decision to send American troops to Thailand, Khrushchev said: "This docs not bespeak a great mind. It is an unreasonable deci sion. , .Blood will be shed there." On nuclear testing, he said: "We have exploded a certain number of nuclear weapons; a certain number has been exploded by America. The Americans have just re sumed nuclear tests. Therefore, we will resume the tests."

The slightly built man said all he could do when Hoffa turned on him was shove at the stocky Teamster boss. "I wish I had the muscles, but I don't." Baron had a cut over his right eye, a small cut on the right side of his nose and a severely swollen loft eye. Hoffa, 49. who was freed on S'iOO bond, said "This is a court case and I will not say anything Recall aimed commissioner By Bill Thompson Bulletin Staff Writer The threat of a recall of four Bend City Commissioners, hinted at in Wednesday's Commission meeting, began to niateralize to- day with n announcement by At torney uouiien j. riaer mat re call petitions "probably would be drawn up." Baer said the petitions would be aimed at the four City Com missioners who turned down City Manager Walter T. Thompson's Wednesday offer to stay on until November. Specifically, Uiese four would be Richard Carlson, Paul soner, Al Nielsen and William Miller. These four also voted Wed nesday to formally accept Thomp son's April 4 resignation. On May 2, the Commission, in a 6-0 vote, asked Thompson to re consider his resignation. He said he would, and gave his answer at last Wednesday's meeting. The hint of a recall movement against the four voting to accept Thompson's resignation was toss ed out by restaurant owner Bob Blakely at Wednesday's meeting. Not Identified I Baer did not identify the group of private citizens he is repre senting. Commissioner Paul Reasoner, at the same meeting, threatened counter recall petitions which would presumably be. aimed at the trio favoring Thompson T. D. Sexton, C. J. Rice and Mayor Jack Dempsey. 1 "I do not feel that a counter re call should be initiated," commis sioner Carlson said. "After serv ing on the City Planning Commis sion and the City Commission, it is apparent to me that Bend needs a better city manager. There are people who do not agree with me and have threaten ed to recall me because of my feelings. I am willing to undergo a recall to see if the people agree with me, but I do not see a need to recall the whole Commission because of my actions." Nielsen, Reasoner and Miller could not be reached for com ment when Baer announced the recall movement shortly before noon today. Provision Noted Recall petitions, in order to be legal, must contain at least 25 per cent of the total votes cast for the commissioner receiving the largest number of votes In the last general election. This was Nielsen, who received 3679 votes. Twenty-five per cent of this figure is 920 the num- Farm worker suffers injury Special to The Bulletin MADRAS A 38 year old Mad ras area farm worker suffered two fractures of the pelvis about 7:15 a.m. today when a tractor and fertilizer spreader ran over him In an accident at the James Tallman farm In the Mud Springs area about eight miles north of Madras. Injured was William C. Purvis, 38, who resides at the farm. Re ports of the accident Indicated that Purvis had stopped the trac tor on an incline. He left It In gear while he gassed up.

Baron, who was paid $17,000 a year by the union, said: "I am not going back to the Teamsters." He said he would "do everything I possibly can to convince mem bers of the Teamsters Union tey are locked In by the worst group with many exceptions of trade unionists I have aver seen In my Hie."

According to the city charter, within five days after recall peti tions have been validly filed, the city recorder must call a special municipal election to be held within 30 days thereafter. Until Next Election City Attorney Harry English said that, should any commission ers be recalled, that remaining commissioners must fill the va cancies until the next general election. Any commissioners, if recalled. Rea-!Cu'i run for election in Novem- ber. Since Bend adopted the city manager form of government In 1928. there has been only one case of commissioners being recalled. That was in the early fall of 1948 when voters recalled Mayor Hans Slagsvold, C. B. Hoogner. Clyde Hauck, Hugh Simpson and George F. Freeman. This left only T. D. Sexton and William Baer. father of Gottlieb Baer, left on the commission and they filled the five vacancies until the general election shortly there after. Aimed at Officials Purpose of that recall move ment was to oust city manager C. G. Reiter and chief of police K. C. Gulick, and these two men lost their positions following the recall vote. The 1948 group termed Itself the Citizens for Effective Government and Law Enforcement. Leaders were M. Malcolm, president; the Rev. L. B. Fish back; and M. M. Orona, vice president. County budget board nearing end of its task By Ha S. Grant Bulletin Staff Writer The Deschutes county budget board, meeting last night, decided to pare about a thousand dollars from tbe present revised depart ment allotments, at its next, and probably final, session. The budget makers added up their tentative figures and reach ed a grand total of $364,228.72 for tile general fund, $46,380 99 mora than last year's total. It Is an ticipated that some S363.340.1S will be available witho it exceed ing the six per cent limitation. Increases In court receipts, re funds and land sales provide the cushion. Although the total is only $888. 54 over the anticipated amount available, a little mora will be cut from the askings as a safety margin. At the next meeting, the ask ings of the watermaster and the veterans' service officer will be given careful scrutiny, with both to be asked to attend. $2S0G for Planning The budget as it now stands in cludes $2500 for county planning, $3000 to finish paying lor the county's new parking lot west of the Kearney Avenue telephone company building, and $12,000 for a new posting machine for the as sessor's office. The machine is al ready In use. The assessor asked $ ,000 for the down payment, but the county court recommended paying the total amount to save Interest. The budget makers granted the request of Circuit Judge Robert H. Foley for 57 per cent of a $2400 annual salary for his bailiff secretary, who has been employ ed at the courthouse die past year. (The balance Is to be made up 25 per cent by Crook county and 18 per cent by Jefferson county.) Foley said that before he hired the secretary (Mrs. Albert Jor genswi) he screened many appli cations and uilorviewed numer ous perwws. He said that her help has been effective In assisting him to keep the dockets in the three counties up to date, maintain good rela tions with county officers and tha bar, and prepare a irellminary draft of revising court rules.
