Gals not to be outdone want to share in US. explorations in outer space Space, in the words of President Kennedy, is "the new ocean," and the women want to get their feet wet. They want to be astronauts. Se riously. And, inasmuch as our law-givers are evergallant and occasionally willing to forsake their natural desire to avoid the limelight the women are ieing taken seriously. The story goes back to last sum mer, when 12 women were certified by the Lovelace Foundation, Albuquerque, N.M., as qualified to be astronauts. They had undergone the same exacting physical and psychological tesls given to the Project Mercury spacemen. Then in March Mrs. Philip A, Hart, 41, wife of the senator from Michigan and a licensed helicopter and airplane pilot, wrote letters to members of the Senate and House science committees urging that women bo included in the U. S. space program. And on March 15, Mrs. Hart and Jerric Cobb, a woman pilot from Oklahoma who holds the world's altitude and speed records for women, called on Vice President Lyn don B. Johnson, chairman of the Nation al Aeronautics and Space Council. They told Johnson that the United States would lose another space first to Russia if this country did not start training a woman for space flight soon. Russia will put a woman in orbit by September, they said. Johnson, not un skilled at avoiding commitments, said he had no authority to make a decision of this sort. Tactfully, ho suggested that they talk to the National Aero nautics and Space Administration. Technically, the only thing Mrs. Hart, Miss Cobb, and their 10 sister space volunteers lack to qualify for NASA's Project Mercury is experience as Jet test pilots. At any rate, the let ters written last March got results. A special subcommittee of the House Committee on Science and Astronautics is launching a series of hearings at which Mrs. Hart, Miss Cobb, and the other as yet unnamed Lovelace gradu ates will be given a chance to testify. Chairman of the House group, Rep. Victor Anfuso (D N.Y.), says he'll call some NASA people. He has in mind also consulting such prominent lay women as Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Mrs. Harry S. Truman. The Washington hearings are ex pected to take about three days. Anfuso and his colleagues plan subsequent hearings in California, the Midwest, and New York. (N. B. Congress as of mid June has approved about 7 per cent of the administration's legislative re quests, has rejected finally 2.8 per cent, has taken no action at all on 26.3 per cent.) The committee presumably will call Dr. Randolph W. Lovelace II, who says of the potential woman space pi lot: "She weighs much less (than a man), consumes less oxygen, needs less food, and has proven herself to be bet ter capable of standing psychological strains in certain stress situations." By and large, she is better looking, too. One woman who has emphatically refrained from volunteering for outer space is Mrs. Llewellyn E. Thompson, Jr., wife of the former ambassador to Russia. Major Yuri Gagarin, the Soviet Union's first cosmonaut, asked Mrs. Thompson at the Kremlin's New Year's Eve party: "Wouldn't you like to fly in to space?" "No," replied Mrs. Thompson. "I do not have a license to drive that kind of thing." She evidently doesn't intend to apply for one, either. Lumber woe continues in region A. Robert Smlt h reports from Washington that President Kennedy turns thumbs down on proposals that we put imports of Canadian lumber on a quota or increase tariff on such im ports. The President's reasons are that he Is strongly committed to tariff re duction, not increase, and this would be Inconsistent with that policy. Also Canada is under serious economic trial In the matter of foreign exchange and this is no time to add to its woes. This decision was plain as a pike staff to those who took a good look at American-Canadian relations. Mean time the Forest Service says it Is doing all it can to Increase timber sales up to full allowable cut. though no one ex plains how cutting' more lumber will increase the market price. Relief through amending the Jones Act seems to be quite as remote as put ting a quota on imports of lumber from Canada. The Maritime administrator, Donald W. Alexander, speaking for the secretary of commerce, Luther Hodges, voiced the opposition of the Commerce department to any immediate action to opening Inlercoastnl shipping to foreign vessels or to give subsidies for the lum ber haul. This brought a blast from Quotable-quotes We arc a people filled with fear, frustration, disappointment and sin. We are in danger of becoming jaded, Senator Morse with one of his threaten ing phrases: "Let me say to the Presi dent. . ." There are three ideas on this. Sena tor Neuberger would remove the pro tection given to domestic shipping. Senator Magnuson would provide a sub sidy to offset the freight advantage of Canada lumber shippers. Rep. Tollefson of Washington says chances of getting any subsidy are slim Congress won't go for it; so he has a bill authorizing the secretary of commerce to suspend the operation of the Jones Act under special conditions. Morse rides In all directions In his demands for govern ment action to relieve distressed lum bermen. Funny, but none of the senators or congressmen seems to have thought of a government subrldy for not growing trees, or not cutting them. Nor has any one recommended a parity price guar antee on lumber, along with leasing of bins to store It In. Why not, since trees are a basic agricultural crop? The major fact Is that the Ills of the Northwest lumber Industry are largely interna!, and will not be cured simply by some government poultice. Oregon Statesman empty and banal.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND Pearson gets 'tributes' from three congressmen By Drew Pearson WASHINGTON Three con gressmen from three widely sep arated parts of the USA recently paid their respects to this writer in varying terms of criticism and abuse. They were: 1. Rep. Frank "all is made for love" lioykin, the charming, courtly solon from Mobile, Ala., who stated: Pearson is a slanderer of southern congress men who are fighting for the south's cause in the nation's capital." 2. H. Carl Andersen of Tyler, Minn., a Republican, who called me every name under the sun in denying a column account of how he received $4,000 for the sale of family mining stock to Billie Sol Estcs, which was not delivered The COP congressman was at no loss for names because he had tapped a compendium of quotes Irom the Library of Congress, originally prepared by my late mother-in-law, who spent consid erable time and money ghost writing speeches for others to de liver about her wayward son-in law. The unoriginal H. Carl Ander sen simply tapped this readily available supply of names, adieo tives, and shopworn cuss-words, which may have been one reason why some of his Republican col leagues ignored him. Come in and say hello come shake my hand," he begged, with emotion in his voice and tears in his eyes. "Don't pass by H. Carl Andersen." 3. Clarence Cannon, the vener able congressman from the Mark Twain country of Missouri, a Democrat, made a much shorter speech and showed more original ity. He did not tap my mother-in-law's research in the Library of Congress. He used no shopworn expletives. Furthermore, he mim eographed his speech for the benefit of the press and delivered it with clarity and better diction than usual. Rep. Cannon disagreed vigor ously with my account of his dead lock with Sen. Carl Hayden and the Senate Appropriations Com mittee over money bills to run the U.S. government. I erred, he said, in calling this a "sit-down strike." Now a word about Drew Pear son," he concluded. "Mr. Speak er, I regard him as an indispen sable adjunct of our de facto gov ernment. He has become an American institution. In the lang uage of the English parliament he would bo denominated as 'Her Majesty's opposition.' In Ecclesi astical parlance he would be term ed 'The Devil's Advocate.' "Of course a man who must write a column every day of the year must at times embellish pro saic annals of uneventful days with a little sensationalism In or der to make them readable. But he arouses interest and some times throws the needed light of publicity on otherwise unnoted phases of American life and con sequently is always entertaining. I take off my hat to him. And I hereby express admiration of the very interesting job he did on me. In the language of Hip Van Win kle, may he, in the risible com radely of Mark Twain, Josh Bill ings and the Baron Munchausen, live long and prosper." Here is what happened to these three congressmen: 1. Boykin was defeated for re nomination in Alabama. Obvious ly, the people of Alabama did not think he was fighting for the smith's cause or that this writer was slandering it. 2. Andersen announced that he would bow out of the Republican party and run as an independent apparently because his fellow Republicans were boycotting him. Unable to get support as an inde pendent, however, he now wants to come back to the GOP fold. 3. Cannon at the age of 83 Is still going strong, and I predict will continue to do so. May his economies always be judicious, his parliamentary judgments wise, and his re-elections as ensy as rolling down the mother of wa ters in front of his district. The Congressman From Texas Bnice Alger, the only Republi can congressman from Texas, would have remained In blissful obscurity as far as most of the nation is concerned, had It not been for an incident In a Dallas hotel lobby In l'.wo when he jostled the hat of Mrs. Lyndon Johnson. What a congressman does pri vately is his business, and for that reason, this column together with many other newspapers Ig nored the unsavory details of the divorce charges brought against the congressman from Pallas by Mrs. Alger, docket 59-UK-DH. court of Pallas County. However, what a congressman does in public, especially in the Halls of Congress, is another mat ter. The other d.tv passers by the south corridor of the Capital could not escape noting the con gressman from Pallas, as sun tanned as a Hollywood star, his nrm around a beautiful high school girl A delegation of other high school students came by from Texas and paused near the couple. It became apparent that the recipient of the congressman's affections was a member of the group. With the eyes of Texas upon him. the congressman recovered quickly, kept his arm nonchalant-, ly around the young lady, as if it was the most natural thing to do in the world, and proceeded to ask the students from Dallas how they liked the Capitol and what else they wanted to see in Wash ington. World's Fair zooms past half-way mark SEATTLE (UPI) -The Seattle World's Fair zoomed past its half way mark today, debt free and soaring along with all the ear marks of financial success. Despite rumors of inadequate housing and price gouging, thou sands upon thousands of visitors have been coming to the fair daily. Few have left believing the city and its fair were a pair of slickers, waiting to pick the fair goer's pocket. The first 92 days of the 184-day fair resulted in greater attendance and loss housing and traffic troub le than had been anticipated. The more than 4.5 million first-half attendance topped estimates of a highly regarded research firm by a quarter million. At the same time, the feared crush of housing problems and traffic james failed to show. Airlines, railways and bus com panies showed continued heavy reservations and bookings of tours through August with no sharp drop after Labor Day. Fair officials look to August as their biggest month. "Seeirnr is believina." said Ewan Dingwall, general manager of tha fair. "We could tell the world every day that we do have good housing, good parking, reas onable prices, but they won't be lieve it until the fellow next door tells them the fellow who has been here." The snaee-apo exmsition kicked off its final booster stage today when it paid the $4.5 million, plus interest, owed its underwriters. From now until closing day, Oct 21, the Century 21 show must live on what it collects in the till. No nno at fair headnuarters seemed worried, although Joe Gandy, president ot trie lair, stw nas nis fingers crossed. "I hope the first half was the fnntrrmsr ' OanHv said, talking like a football coach at halftime. "Sometimes, the second half gets more interesting. We still could wind up on the short end, but give us another 4.5 million attendance and we'll close with every bill paid and a Udy prom lor me cuy and slate to share. Laos settlement direct outcome of Vienna meet GENEVA (UPD Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said to day the declaration of Laos as a neutral state is a direct outcome of President Kennedy's Vienna meeting with Soviet Premier Ni kita Khrushchev 13 mo ths ago. Gromyko and Secretary of State Dean Rusk joined in praising the successful conclusion of the 14-na-tion Laos conference at its final meeting today and Rusk offered Laos economic and technical aid to eliminate the wastes of war. The session of the conference today saw the foreign ministers of all 14 participants accept the neu trality declaration of Laotian Pre mier Prince Souvanna Phouma thus setting up Laos as an inde pendent and neutral state. Gromyko and Rusk addressed the conference . fe. hours before they were scheduled to meet for their first privato session on the major cold wai topics of Berlin and disarmament. Their presence '.ie,e for the signing of the Laotian neutrality declaration has given them an op portunity to resume high level talks on crucial cold war issues. Fire Fighters suspend local SALEM (ITU - The Oreron Fire Fighters Council here Fri day suspended its Portland local for failing to pay per capita taxes and a special assessment. The council took the action at the close of a four-day conven tion. Pat Flynn of Fugene w as elec ted president of the council dur ing the final day. .Win Mathews of Klamath Falls was chosen first vice president, Pon Kwen of Jk Grande was selected second vice president and Earl Noble of Salem was named secretary-treasurer. The council picked The Dalles as the site of its next convention in Unions in Peru rallying workers against seizure LIMA, Peru (UPI) Peru's labor unions rallied the country's workers Friday for a general strike to protest the military seiz ure of the government. Two days after their coup d'etat, the armed forces leaders appeared in solid control despite the strike threats, student demon strations and hemispheric opposi tion to their takeover. Thursday night armed troops and police broke up mobs of screaming youths defying the rul ing military junta. The security forces shot over the heads of the youths who surged through Lima's downtown streets crying "Freedom, freedom." Sugar Workers Strike The General Labor Confedera tion called on the nation's work ers to comply with an agreement reached a few weeks ago to strike Li the event of a coup. Textile workers and students at the University of San Marcos an nounced they will join 12,000 sug ar workers in the north who went on strike Thursday. A telephone strike has been in progress for several days. The sugar area in the north has a strong following for Victor Raul Haya de la Torre, leader of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), whose feud with the armed forces was an un derlying cause of the coup. Not Considered Serious Observers did not regard the strikes and demonstrations so far as any serious threat to the four man ruling junta which overthrew President Manuel Prado in a bloodless coup Wednesday. Mariano Ignaclo Prado, a rela tive of the ousted president, was released Thursday night by the junta after two days of detention. He said he was held with Man uel Prado aboard the navy ship Callao. Mariano Prado said the former president was In "perfect health," and would be freed "very soon, probably tomorrow." New tension mounts in Berlin area BERLIN (UPD-Bcrlin took on a new air of tension Friday as Communist and Western foreign ministers gathered to discuss it in Geneva. The Russians appeared to have started a new harassment campaign against Allied air traf fic and both sides of the border seethed with military activity. Communist troops in combat kit and armored cars drew up to the border of the American Kreuzberg District and set up two machine guns in what appeared to be an alert exercise. They left after two hours but later another unit went through the same procedure at another border point. West Berlin emergency police were busy building sandbag bar ricades and wooden firing posts for protection against any Commu nist gunfire. Communist guards strengthened antirefugee installa tions on their side of the wall. A U.S. Army battle group car ried out field exercises in the Grunewald Woods about 10 miles away. Soviet jet fighters have buzzed western Allied transports at least twice this week the first such ac tion since March when the Rus sians ended a two-month attempt to restrict the airlines between West Germany and West Berlin. Both buzzings occurred Tuesday. The U.S. mission said it had pro tested both to the Russian rep resentative at Berlin's Four Power Air Safety Center. One Russian jet made a pass at a U.S. Federal Aviation Agency transport flying to Berlin to test radar and navigational aids. The pass was said to have been clear ly deliberate. Another angler hailed to court Another fisherman was hailed into court Thursday, for exceed ing the daily bag limit for trout Gerald S. Jones, Albany, was fintd $25 and M costs, when he appeared before District J u d ; e Joe Thalhofer. Fines for traffic violations were paid Wednesday by Hugh Etelbert Hinkelman, Portland, basic rule violation, $15. and Stephen Ray Peck, Bend, inadequate mufflers, $10. Churchill reported fd b& old grumbling self again NEW YORK (UPI) 'From Lon don Via Telstar Satellite) Sir Winston Churchill is his old grumbling self again, a sure sign the former prime minister is making a sound recovery from his broken thigh and may be ready to go home from the hos pital within the next few days. The report on Churchill's con dition came in a Telstar-relayed telephone call from London, placed by Daniel F. Gilmore, European news editor of United Press International, and received here by Francis T. Leary, UPI managing editor. The telephone conversation was one of several that took place Pressure may have been put on Marshall WASHINGTON (UPI) - An oustud federal farm official sug gested Friday that the late Henry H. Marshall may have rescinded his crackdown on Billie Sol Estcs' cotton allotment transfers because of pressure from superiors. William P. Maltox, who de scribed Marshall as a "good friend," also suggested as an al ternative that Marshall may have believed amended regulations ulti mately would bring justice to farmers who made illegal trans fer to Estos. Mattox testified for the second day at the Senate investigation of Estes' operations. Marshall, program specialist for the Texas Agriculture Stabiliza tion and Conservation Committee, died from gunshot wounds in June, 1961. His death originally was ruled a suicide but the Texas Rangers announced Thursday Uiat they are investigating on the as sumption it was murder. Mattox, former vice chairman of the Reeves County, Texas, ASC Committee, was removed from that post for accepting ex penses from Estes for a trip to Washington. A self-styled "country boy" from Estes' home town of Pecos, Tex., Mattox Thursday accused Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman of seeking to transfer blame for the Estes case to scapegoats at the local level. Other developments: Celebrezze: The Senate con firmed the nomination of former Cleveland Mayor Anthony J. Cele brezze as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. The ac tion was by voice vote with no debate. Celebrezze, who succeeds Abraham A. Ribicoff, was ap proved by the Senate Finance Committee Thursday. Hacksaw used in jail break WALLA WALLA, Wash. (UPD Charges of unlawful flight to es cape prosecution were on file here today against two men who es caped from the Walla Walla County jail Wednesday where they were waiting trial. Delbert M. Fuston, 36, Uma pine. Ore., and Larry D. Bundy, 19, used a hacksaw to saw through their cell bars on a back window in the jail. Sheriff's deputies said it was believed the tw i had stolen a car some time last night from the State Line Lumber Co. near Milton-Freewater, Ore. Fuston was charged with armed robbery and Spokane had issued warrants charging him with two counts of robbery. Bundy was charged with first degree forgery. Both men were considered ex tremely dangerous, the sheriff's office said. Woman facing murder charges LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Mrs. Jeane Sampson, 40, must stand trial for murder Sept. 4 in the fatal shooting of her husband, the executive editor of the "Bun Casey" television show. The charge was changed from manslaughter to murder Friday. Deputy Dist. Atty. Harold Kippen said revising the complaint to murder was justified by evidence produced at a preliminary hearing for the defendant. Mrs. Sampson was charged w ith the death of John Edward Samp son, 50. at their nearby Glendale home May 6. Thursday during the first demon stration of multiple telephone calls relayed by Telstar. The United States also iransmiuro via Telstar the first color televi sion to Britain. A total of 24 calls four at n time upm made while the Telstar satellite whirled on its 87th orbit 3,000 miles overhead at a speed of 16,000 miles per hour hetween the northern coast of South America and Africa. (A few hours after this latest tirenkthroueh in communication via Telstar, there came a criti cism from Moscow charging that the U.S. Telstar satellite) has turned outer space "into a sphere of rivalry among tne capitalistic vultures." (The accusation was made by the Soviet government newspaper Izvestia which told its readers that Russ ia transmitted a televi- sion image through space in 1959, three years belore tne united States.) Reception of the telephone calls between New York and London was excellent. The calls were made from headquarters of the American Telephone and Tele graph (AT&T) long lines depart, mnnt in lower Manhattan to And- over, Maine, up to the satellite, down to Goonhilly Downs, fcng land, then by land line to Fleet in London. The distance was estimated at 6,100 miles. Milk pricing law favored SALEM (UPI) The adminis trator of Oregon's temporary milk stabilization law, Kenneth W. Sawyer, said today that if a new law is passed next year on milk, he hopes milk pricing is built right into the law. This is the price that fanners get from dealers for their milk. The present law, which expires Dec. 31, authorizes the state agriculture department to set I minimum price to producers. Saw yer says this is too much of a burden, and price-setting should not be a part of administration. He said his biggest headache the past year has been the war between producers and dealers over pricing. Sawyer said a price formula could be written into a ne-v law based on a variety of factors, the key one being the natio .al price of milk for manufacturing purposes.
