Visits President Kennedy Space agency report completed Carpenter tells why he overshot recovery area WASHINGTON (UPI) - Astro naut Scott Carpenter, 37, visited President Kennedy at the White House today and later explained why he overshot his recovery area target by about 250 miles after his triple orbit of the earth May 24. Accompanied by his wife, Rene, and his four children, Carpenter spent about 20 minutes with the President and then took off for New York for a luncheon honor ing him. Talking with newsmen at Na tional Airpo t just before leaving, the astronaut said the space agency In a report just completed attributed his overshoot in landing to several reasons. First, he said, there was an er ror "in yaw and attitude" of the Aurora 7 spacecraft as it neared re-entry into the atmosphere. There also was slightly less thrust than expected from the retro, or braking, rockets when he fired UV.-m to slow his speed for re-entry, he said. A third factor. Carpenter report, ed, was that the retro rockets fired a few seconds later than planned. AU factors were "insignificant" compared with the yaw, or side-to-side motion, of the space cap sule as it neared atmospheric re entry, the astronaut said. Overshot Landing Mark This was the chief reason he landed so far down range from his scheduled impact spot in the Atlantic, he said. Space administration officials had suspected from the start, that the breaking rockets had no pro duced the expected amount of thrust and thus had not sufficient ly slewed the space capsule. This put the capsule on a shallower re-entry trajectory than called for in the flight plans. Carpenter was given a warm welcome by the President. The President met the Carpen ters first In his office then es corted them to the adjacent White House "fish room" where news men awaited them. Kennedy introduced the astro naut to members of the secretari al staff of the White House and suddenly found there were some teen-agers in the group of hand shakers. They were six high school essay contest winners from West Vir ginia. They had been escorted to the White House by Rep. Ken Hechler, D-W.Va. Praises Wives and Children Speaking to the staff members and lucky students, the President said that while all Americans took "the greatest pride and satisfac tion" in the technical accomplish ments of U.S. space flights, the nation should not lose sight of the fact that Uie astronauts "have been unusually fortunate" in hav ing such strong support from their wives and children. Kennedy saluted Caipenter and his Project Mercury colleagues for having "served their country in a way that all of their lives, I am sure, will be a source of satis faction to them. "I cannot imagine better rep resentatives of what we like to think our country stands for than the men who have taken part in the flights." Kennedy said. "It is a source of great satisfaction to me as President at this time in our history to have these Ameri cans who are so conspicuous on the world stage and who symbo lize our country."

Air France hostess Francoise Authie, who with another hostess lived through the crash of the Boeing 707 airliner Sunday that took 130 lives, told Allen, "I am very sorry that this has hap pened." Miss Authie said, "I remember a little girl, she was blonde, sit ting in the front row. I gave her some candy." Mayor Allen listened quietly, asking only a few questions dur ing their 10-mimite talk. He said he just wanted to meet the girl who was the last to sea so many of his friends alive. The hostess told the mayor, "The froup seemed very happy and ware having pleasant conver sation and they all seemed to know one another." Chartered Airline The 121 Georgians had chartered tha airliner to .take. them home. after touring European art oen tors on a trip sponsored by the Atlanta Art Association. Mayor Allen thanked Miss Au thie. Later, he said he was "very touched by the conversation. But Allen said Miss Authie had not been able to throw much more light on what he already knew of the distaster. Meanwhile, airline officials said the victims' bodies will be shipped home as quickly as they are iden tified. Louis Duclos, a senior Paris po lice official, told the mayor, "I lelieve we can identify 90 per cent of the bodies in three weeks or one month depending on how quickly the answers arrive from the families to our questionnaire. He said he thought eventually all of the bodies would be iden tified. Little to Go On A French investigating team led by Inspector General Louis Bonte seemed to have little on which to pinpoint the cause of the crash despite the fact that it occurred in perfect view of the Orly Field tower. Besides the 121 Americans, 8 crewmen and an Air France representative also died. The stories of the two surviving stewardesses. Miss Authie and Jacqueline Gille, did not appear to throw much light on the trou ble Both were in the tail section and could not determine what was happening in the cockpit Area students to get degrees at U of Oregon Special te The Bulletin UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene The largest gradua tion class in the University of Oregon's 86 year old history will be presented for baccalaureate and advanced degrees at the 85th annual commencement exercises, Sunday, June 10.

Top-to-bottom' tax cut pledge made by Dillon ' NEW YORK (UPI) Investors hoped an administration pledge of "top-to-bottom" tax cuts in 1963 would help bring about a resur gence today in a slumping stock market. Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, in an address Monday night to the New York Financial Writers Association, said Presi dent Kennedy plans to present to Congress next January a broad plan of "top-to-bottom reduction in the rates of income tax." Dillon spoke after a day which saw traders drop more than $11 billion in paper value of stocks, continuing the downward trend of last Friday. The slump brought the stock market to a point half way from that reached May 28, when the market posted losses al most equal to the crash year of 1929. Dillon told the financial writers the administration had made "no decisions on any of the details" of the proposed tax cuts. He also did not specify whether the pro posal would include both corpo rate and individual taxes. The Treasury secretary said last week's trading on the na tion's exchanges was a case in which "all vestiges of reason were temporarily pushed aside." He predicted the United States can look forward to continued economic progress which "should also bring with it a rise in corpo rate profits." Dillon's remarks appeared aimed at settling the nerves of jittery traders and to boost con fidence in the nation s economic future. Volume Monday was 5.380.000 shares, compared with 5,760,000 on Friday and a B.350,000 turn over a week ago Monday. The Standard and Poor s index of 500 stocks was off 2.11 to 57.28. and the Dow Jones average of 30 industrials fell 17 points to 593.68. Time To Reflect Dillon referred to last week's frenetic activity on Wall Street as "a phenomenon that should give us all pause." Despite the fact that over the postwar period the share of prof its In the sales dollar has de clined," he declared, "there is general agreement among bus! ness forecasters that total pre-tax corporate profits for 1962 are breaking out of the narrow range in which they have moved for the past three years and will reach a new record high, well above $50 billion." Dillon said last year's bull mar ke: stemmed from a belief that "inflation was Just around the corner." He said the fears have "been pretty well dispelled. And that Is the basic reason behind the decline in stock prices over the past few months." Two of the nation's top stocks from the standpoint of number of general stockholders lost ground Monday. C9 given as city budget task finishes By Bill Thompson Bulletin Steff Writer Healthy pay raises are in store for city employes following action by the Bend budget committee in its windup session Monday night at the City Hall. The budget group, in giving fi nal okay to a tax levy of around $340,000, unanimously approved a five per cent general pay raise for city employes and large spot raises for six department heads. The tax levy is still approxi mately $7,000 under the 1962-63 tax base of $347,473.71 eliminat ing need for a vote on funds bud geted over the six per cent tax limitation figure. The motion for the spot raises for the six department heads, plus the five per cent general hike. was made by commissioner E. L. Nielsen. Proposed by Nielsen Nielsen originally proposed spot raises for four department heads to bring their pay near the aver age of other communities of this size. They are police chief Emil K. Moen, from $358 to $600 a montn fire chief Vernon Carlon, from $541 to $600 a month; city recrea tion director Vince Genna, from $500 to $550 a month; and park superintendent A. B. Bud Lin gerfelt, from $455 to $500 a month. Nielsen's original motion was amended to include raises for re corder treasurer Julia S. John son, from $531 to $600 a month; and for city engineer John H. Ea ton, from $618 to $675 a month. Initial Proposal The city administration had Initially proposed a straight $35 a month pay hike tor an city em ployes. Prior to luiai wrapup on uie 1962-63 budget, the budget group added $500 to the $600 Planning Commission budget, making a to tal of $1100. Planning chairman Vinton Green, in asking for the increase, noted that his group spent only $100 of the $600 allotted for the 1961-62 fiscal year. The group also added $500 for new parking meters, balancing this increase with a $500 boost in expected parking meter revenue. And they reduced estimated revenue on cards and gambling by $500, from $1500 to a $1000, in view of district attorney Louis Selken's recent crackdown on city - licensed card games and pinball machines. Deletions from the original bud get included $4577, or 10 per cent, off the city's share of the Des chutes County Library. This, said committee members, was in line with the verbal agreement be tween tha city and county that the city's share of the library be reduced 10 per cent each year un til it becomes a complete county function. Only other major change was a $3648.36 item for a supplemental park department budget Following publication, city com missioners will hold a public hear ing on the 1962-63 city budget, tentatively set for the first week in July. mrmmmmmmmmmmmmimmmmmmmmmmmtnm u I iim. . i I,,. ..I" unili ii..ii,.iuh.ii nieimmu w itefrom ' " ' a. v ' ber and sawmill jobs in the re gion have disappeared In two years.

Railroad unions hold off action on wage offer CHICAGO (UPI) Negotiators for 450,000 off-train employes to day delayed agreement on a rail road offer of a 10.2-cent an hour wage increase. Railroad and union negotiators entered what had been billed as a possible showdown session on the roads' offer to go along with a presidential emergency board's recommendations on wage in creases. But the meeting in Chicago's Union Station broke up after 25 minutes without agreement. J.E. Wolfe, chief negotiator for the railroads, said "the unions want to talk among themselves and then they'll call us back. George Leighty, spokesman for the 11 nonoperating brotherhoods, said, "There were no proposals or requests. They haven't done any more than tn the past. It was the second time the un ions had held off final settlement of the dispute. Another meeting had been scheduled Monday night, but the brotherhoods decided at last minute to cancel it. In another facet of the railway union dispute, Federal Mediator Leverett Edwards was to meet la ter today with representatives of the railroads and of operating ran emoloves. The two sides are at loggerheads over another presi- dential board recommendation which would result in wholesale dismissal of firemen. Wolfe announced Monday that the railroads had agreed reluctant ly to grant the 10 2 cent an hour increase to off-train employes. WEATHER Meetly felr with few mountiln showers; highs eJ-es; lew (HI.

Lumbermen made the agency their prime whipping boy here Monday at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on Northwest lumber industry ills. Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., who chaired the hearing, said Forester J. Her bert Stone of Portland will be asked to respond in the nation's capital June 11-12. Sen. Wavne Morse, D-Ore., said Stone should be called. Nearly 100 witnessos, mostly lumbermen, testilied or submit ted statements. The lumbermen agreed that their problem lies in competition with Canadians who enjoy pro duction, trade and money advan tages. Policies Said Backwards They said backward policies of the U. S. Forest Service . guard ians of millions of trees on which lumbermen depend for tim berare a main reason for mak ing lumbermen in the United States the underdogs. The witnesses called on the For est Service for more cuttable timber, lower stumpage prices, and more access roads at less cost to the lumberman. They said Forest Service scaling, contract and appeals policies need overhauling. G. Cleveland Edgett of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association said the Forest Service seems to be "fully occupied with distribu ting Smokey the Bear commer cials." He said lumbermen have waited months for replies. Another witness said if the lum ber Industry acted like the Forest Service "Bobby Kennedy would be out here and we would all be out on McNeil Island." Alter the hearing, lumDerman and State Rep. W. O. Kelsay of Roseburc predicted, "there will be some vast changes in Forest Service practices as a result this." Other Adjustment! The lumber witnesses also ask ed for other long range adjust ments. They requested laws, tar iffs, trade agreements or subsid ies to equalize the U. S. and Ca nadian lumber industries in water and rail shipping costs and in currency values. For immediate relief, the co chairmen of the lumbermen's economic survival committee wired tha U. S Tariff Commission for a hearing on a proposed quarterly quota against Canadian softwood. They acted within hours on the advice of Morse and Hartke, who told them, "It is hard for us to seek new laws when you Ignore existing ones that could bring re lief. The senators said lumoer men also could seek agricultural quotas. The wire asked for a quota on Canadian softwood imports equal to the yearly average for the past decade. That would reduce pres- sent Canadian imports about four per cent and give Canada about nine per cent ot Uie present do mestic market. Gov.

Rob erts Monday shot and killed I Congolese burglar who had en tered his house, U.S. officials announced. Roberts, 38, of Portland. Ore., lives next door to the house in which Col. Hulan Stogner, a mili tary attache at the embassy, was killed by a prowler last Feb ruary. Stogne s killer has not been found. Officials said the burglar was armed with a sharp chisel-like weapon about a foot long. He was identified as Alfred Asukea, a Congolese national. U. S. Spokesman Fltzhugh Green said "something was dis covered on the body proving the man had entered the house." Roberts was interrogated by Congolese police and released. Turn up safe PORTLAND (UPI) -Three young Portland climbers feared missing In Washington's Olympic Mountains turned up safe Mon day night. Relatives had reported Larry Dauelsberg, Robert Martin and Eric Schoenfeld missing when they failed to return Sunday night from a climb in the ML Con stance area. t Union Leaders Testify The only major disscntion to the dark picture painted of the lumber industry came from the Northwest's two big timber unions both currently negotiating for wage increases. A. F. Hartung of the Interna tional Woodworkers of America and Earl Hartley of the Western Council of Lumber and Sawmill Workers, said the situation is not as bad as lumbermen made it sound. Hartung, whose IWA has many members in Canada, said Cana dian competition is not the main culprit. He and Hartley said the lumber industry must adjust to changing demands for wood prod ucts, Uie threat of wood sub stitutes, and automation. Both union leaders said they want freer trade with Canada and other countries, rather than higher tariff protecUve walls. Hartley said, however, he would approve a temporary import quota. Hartung said sawmill, logging and planing employment has dropped, but jobs in the woods products industry are increasing. He said plywood and hardboard, which have increased steadily, also are making inroads into tra ditional lumber markets. Change of the next hearing data from June 14 June 11 was an nounced Monday. JFK challenges kAk to prove he was wrong WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy today challenged the American Medical Association to prove that he was wrong when he said the organization opposed the basic principles of social se curity. The chief cxecuUve sent a caus tically worded letter to Dr. Leon ard W. Larson, AMA president,' thereby firing another round tn his battle with the AMA over the administration's plan for medical care for the aged tinancea through the social security system. If vour organization did not oppose social security before its enactment only afterwards I will be glad to point out this unique distinction at my next press conference, uie rresiaeni told Larson. Kennedy, in his public state ments, has linked the AMA with Uie charge heard in the 1930s that Uie social security system was a , 'cruel hoax. Denies Charge Larson wrote Uie President May 23 to deny that Uie AMA was an enemy of society security. The White House said the rTesident did not receive Larson's letter un til two days after It appeared in the newspapers. It said Kennedy noted this in his letter to Larson. 'Your letter objects to my newa conference statement that tha AMA was among Uie opponents of the original social security sys tem," Uie President wrote Larson. If your letter endorses uie so cial security concept on behalf of Uie AMA. if it signifies a wuung ness on the part of Uie AMA to Include doctors under its coverage then I am certain that your let tor will be enthuslasticaUy wel comed by the great majority of the American people." Explanation Due Kennedy told Larson Uiat if Uie AMA never opposed Social Secu rity, the public deserved an ex planaUon of certain AMA state ments. Among Uiese, he said, was a 1919 statement by Dr. Morris Fishhein, editor of Uie AMA Jour nal, that aU forms of compulsory security would lead to removal of Individual responsibility, weaken ing of national caliber, and a definite step toward either com- nr.unism or totalitarianism. Kennedy also cited a 1SM9 reso lution of the AMA House of Dele gates saying in part Uiat social security was "in fact a compul sory socialistic tax" and a 1953 reference by the group to it rec ord of "disapproval of Uie princi ple" involved in social security.
