Univ. of Oresca tibrary c EUGSNE, OREGON . o CO o O Aejvs conference neW n Moscow No attempt made to link ships 0 Soviet 'space twins' give flight details MOSCOW (UPD-Russia's twin astronauts disclosed today that they came within three miles ot each other in their record-breaking flights through space and floated back to earth by parachute. But they said there was no attempt and no plan to link up their five- ton space ships in orbit. Maj. Andrian Nikolayev, 32, who made 64 orbits of the earth, and hi s "space twin," Lt. Col. Pavel Popovich, 31, who completed 48 orbits, gave details of their tan dem journey at a joint news con ference at Moscow University's Main Hall. The marathon confer- j ence lasted three hours and 43 1 minutes. - Nikolayev told the 1,500 news men and observers at the tele vised session that retro-rockets first slowed the speed of his space ' ship, Vostok 111, while it still was j j in orbit more than 100 miles i above the ea'jth. Then he said he ; was separated in a capsule j from the instrument compartment ; of the ship, making a blazing re- j entry into the earth's atmosphere I safely inside. At an undisclosed height, he said he then was eject- j ed to float to earth by parachute, landing ncafSSraganda in Kazak hsta, 1,500 miles southeast of Moscow. Landed 124 Miles Apart Popovich said he also came down by parachute from his ship Vostok IV, and said he and Nil? olayev landed about 124 miles apart. Previous announcements had said they came down within six minutes of each other in the previously planned landing area. Popovich added that the two space ships at their closest were about five kilometers or 3.1 miles apart. He put the weight of the craft at "about five tons." The space ships used by Russia's first two space men, Lt Col. Yuri Ga garin and jaj. Gherman Titov, were about 44 tons. Popovich, answering a question uybne newsman, said there never had been any plan to link up the two space ships in flight. Such a possibility had been suggested by Britain's Sir Bernard Lovell, head of the Jodrell Bank radio-telescope station, and others. Nikolayev and Popovich both in sisted under questioning that there was no military threat in their flights, but Nikolayev made it v'ear that there could be. 'The Vostok HI carried no nu clear weapons and there is no need for such things," he said. "(But) if need be, we have mis siles which are splendidly cap able of delivering nuclear war heads to any point." Stress Peaceful Aimi Bothmen stressed the peaceful aims of Soviet space experiments, and Popoviclrurged greater inter national cooperation in space and eventual group space flights of ships belonging to different na tions. "I feel sure that if two space men make a flight for purposes of peaceful exploration of space," Popovich said, "they will always find a common language and be able to manage perfectly without translators." He said Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev already had proposed to President Kennedy in a letter that the United States and Russia engage in wider space coopera tion. He mentioned cooperation with tracking stations and commu nications networks, and greater exchanges of space information. Both spacemen said they had carried out their duties without any problems due to weightless ness or other reasons. In fact, Popovich said he had an ad vantage in being the second one to go up, since Nikolayev "could communicate some of his experi ences." This speeded up his work in releasing himself from his har ness to float freely in his space ship cabin. Could Float Freely "What a feeling I had when I did that," Popovich exclaimed. "You understand I had no weight I could float freely in the cabin. turn around without feeling any unpleasantness." Both men spoke, as have all previous Russian and American spacemen, of light particles flying past their ships. The Russians said these particles were exhaust from the engines. Before Nikolayev spoke, Mstis lav Keldysh, president of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, said the "group flight" of the two cosmonauts showed the way to man's free flight in outer space, including more complex orbits around the earth and other planets. 0 WEATHER.

CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER Ten Pages Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Tuesday, August 21, 1962 Ten Cents No. 218 Bend assured new industry, site secured A new Bend industry has been assured a site for operation and expansion here. It is the Central Oregon Ben toniu? Co., which quarries its ma terial in the Bear Creek area north of Hampton. Bend City commissioners at a special meeting Monday night ap proved a motion to sell a portion of north city pifperty to Lee An derson of Santa Clara, Calif., to provide a location for the new in dustry.

Arthur Kross, who has recently returned from a tour of duty in Greenland, was guest speaker at a no-host dinner meeting at the Pine Tavern. More than 30 indiv iduals attended the evening ses sion. The field director, who has spent the past four years coun seling servicemen on isolated tours, told local Red Cross mem bers that the organization's man datory home service program is one of the most worthwhile pro grams, yet the most confusing and misunderstood. Emphasis Noted "The home service program is not a program of financial assist ance," he stressed. "It is a tool in counseling or alleviating other i proDiems. Home service workers assist servicemen's dependents in re ceiving passports, offer marital phasized. "It's not capable of do ing everything asked of it. It s on ly the liaison between servicemen and their officers. We don't make the decisions, the officers do." He pointed out that the military is deeply appreciative of Red Cross's integrity and relies upon it as an adequate souraa of infor mation. In most military action, at least 90 per cent of the cases are verified through Red Cross channels. 6 No Other Agency "There is no other agency with a communications seUip like we have," Kross told the group. "There is no place in the world that cannot be reached through the combination of the chapter and the field director.

This is a fact not generally known, due to the fact that, the home service program is confidential. Informa tion regarding specific cases is never publicized out of respect to individual clients. The guest speaker also stressed that because servicemen have problems does not necessarily mean that they are unstable or incompetent. "Problems they had prior to en tering the service will magnify once they're away from their fam ilies," he explained. He listed lack of communication and misinter pretation as major reasons. In other action during the eve ning, Chapter Chairman Will Stor ey presented the annual report for the past fiscal year. Award Mad Glenn Ratcliff of Bend was awarded a national citation for his outstanding efforts as Region al Fund Chairman during the past year.

The African lawmakers will be welcomed officially by Gov. Albert D. Rosellini. Legal tangles plague closed trailer plant By Ha S. Grant Bulletin Staff Writer The plight of Alpine Industries, Inc., whose trailer plant in Bend was closed several weeks ago, gets more complicated as tune goes on, with the prospect that the local firm will get back into operation, at least under the same management, growing con stantly dimmer. Recent developments in the tan gle Include withdrawal of 13 labor liens with payment of some $800 to employes, and the filing of a collection suit against James H, Bradlev Sr. and James H. Brad' ley Jr., both now in Texas and known to be Investors in the cor poration, and Universe Investment Corporation of Oregon, which lent money to Alpine ana mercnanais- ed trailers. Concurrently, plans for orderly liauidation under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Act, which pro vides for continued operation and reorganization, go ahead. Charles Boardman, one of the local at torneys representing Alpine, said today that a meeting of creditors has been set for September 4, at 10:30 a.m. standard time in the Deschutes County District court room. Approval of the data was received today from Lester G. Oehler of Corvallis, referee in bankruptcy for Federal Court Explanation Made The 13 employes who were paid, their attorney said, were anxious to get their money and be gone, rather than wait for bankruptcy proceedings. Wage claims get priority in any case, it was point ed out, and those wno aia noi iue liens will not have extra legal costs. At top production, Alpine had a payroll of about a hundred workers. The suit against the two Brad- leys and the investment company was filed by industrial uranium Co. of Utah, a mining firm which had been "middle - manning" trailers as a sideline. The firm has attached what trailers were left at the local plant, and they are said to have gone into the possession of buyers. Industrial seeks a judgment from the Bradleys and Universe for $21,046.52, allegedly "wrong fully and fraudulently acquired" and on deposit at the Bend branch of the United States National Bank. The funds were said to have been payments from buyers who obtained trailers from Indus trial Uranium. They are Arctic Development Co. of Anchorage, Alaska, and Candlowood Mobile Estates of Lynn wood, Wash. Residents of Texas ' An attorney reppescHtvng the Bradleys said that tiiey ar.e resi dents of Texas, and ther-e is no way for local courts to got juris diction. Officials of the bank are pondering the problem, and legal consultants at the Portland office were to give a decision, presum ably U;lay, on execution of the writ of attachment on the defend aiits' accounts. The petition for bankruptcy was filed August-13 In Federal Court in Portland. Assets of $393,579 and debts of $930,614. were listed. Some $17,500 is sought in four col lection suits on file in circuit court her-9. Sexon will not i candidate for re-election Due to a misunderstanding, The Bulletin Monday inadvertently quoted Bend City Commissioner D. Sexton as saying ho intend ed to run again for one of five commission posts open to ballot ing in November. Both Commissioners Sexton and Paul Reasoner have definitely stated they would not seek reelection. All candidates for positions on the City Commission or as mu nicipal judge have until 11:59 to night, August 21, to file their pe titions. Since city hall closes at p.m., any petitions submitted after should be marked for time with the police department, and left. All petitions must have 150 sig natures of voters living inside Bend's city limits. Berlin police seek to head off new riots Deadline passes in attempted recall action The 90-day deadline for petitions asking the recall of four Bend city commissioners has quietly faded away. It was on May 21 of this year that a group calling Itself the "Cit izens Committee for Fair City Pol itics" filed petitions against com missioners Paul Reasoner, E. L. Nielsen, Richard Carlson and Wil liam E. Miller. The four had voted to accept City Manager Walter T. Thomp son's April 2 resignation. The re call group, headed by Bob Blake ly, Walter Marken and Mrs. Dor othy Newton, wanted the four out and Thompson back in. (Thompson officially stepped out of office July 1. The post has been vacant since that time.) On May 29, an attorney an nounced that the recall group was close to obtaining the necessary 920 signatures needed to force a special municipal vote for each of the four commissioners. But a few days later only a handful attended a special recall meeting designed to build enthus iasm for a door-to-door canvass to obtain petition signers. And little more was heard from the group after that. In Bend's only other recall movement, five of seven city com missioners were removed from office following a 1948 special election. Bean pickers urgently needed SALEM (UPI) Bean growers in the mid Willamette Valley have sent out an urgent call for 1,000 more pickers. The first shortage of pickers this season developed Monday at Salem, Woodburn, Silverton, Stayton and Independence, ac cording fo Ron Ewing of theo Ore gon Farm Labor Office here. He said most growers face their heaviest harvest week of the season. Ewing also expressed some worry about getting enough pickers for the late harvest. It will come after most schools in the area reopen Sept. 4 or 5. BERLIN (UPI) West Berlin po lice threw up barbed wire barri cades and massed hundreds of men on the western aide of the Berlin wall today to head off fur ther anti-Communist noting. More than 450 riot police were stationed at key points around the crossing point known as Check point Charlie manned by the U.S. Army, the biggest concentration of Western force at one spot since the riots started three days ago. The police were backed by two water cannon and four American military policemen in steel hel mets. Checkpoint Charlie has been the scene of the most bitter violence, since it is the place where a So viet bus carrying Red army troops to the Soviet War Memorial in the British sector passes from East to West Berlin. West Berliners have vented their anger at the Communists by stoning the buses and battling with their own police trying to stop them. A British spokesman announced that the United States, British and French ambassadors met in Bonn this morning to discuss the gen eral situation in Berlin. At the same time. Lord Mayor Willy Brandt tonferrod with the Big Three Western Allied com mandants to discuss the crisis and seek means of preventing future outbreaks of violence by West Ber liners incensed over the Commu nist shooting of East German refugees. West Berlin police were put on special alert at midday. A spokesman said the "No. 2 alert" requires all emergency po lice to stand by their stations throughout the city from 3 p.m. onward. A riot squad of 120 to 160 men will be ready for immediate action. The spokesman said we will take measures at once" against any repetition of Monday night's shovlne. stone-throwing attacks on West Berlin po'to and Soviet vehicles by West Berlin teen agers. West Berlin newspapers cauea for an end to the demonstrations, which began quietly Friday but increased in violonce over the weekend. The newspapers were oarticularlv sharp in their criti cism of the anti-American tone of some of the disorders. The riots raged up and down the Communist-built anti-refugee wall until past midnight and for the first time since they started Saturday they spread back from the border to the center ol West Berlin. An estimated 10,000 West Berliners took part. West Berlin police said at least 15 rioters and 9 policemen were hurt, and 10 rioters were arrest ed. Police used clubs and water cannon to drive the mobs back. . Situation Termed Grave An allied spokesman called the situation "grave", and a Moscow Radio commentator said Berlin threatened a conflict in the cen ter of Europe." Thousands of howling, jeering West Berliners stoned and pur sued Soviet army vehicles ana clashed with their own police in . bloody street fights along the wall dividing the city. Two Bed soldiers were left bleeding from head and hand injuries. - - - Move to limit7 area billboards underway A request by the Oregon Road side Council that four stretches of highway in Central Oregon be set aside as scenic areas will be considered at a hearing of the Scenic Area Commission in Bend on August 27. The meeting will be held in the Deschutes County courthouse. Starting time has been set for 10 a m., PST. " Sections of Mid-Oregon arterial routes proposed for classification as scenic areas follow: " " 1. U.S. 20 from the U.S. 97 junc tion north of Bend to the US. 128 junction near Sisters. 2. U.S. 126 from the west city limits of Redmond to the U.S. 20 junction near Sisters. 3. U.S. 97 from the north city limits of Terrebonne to the south city limits of Madras. 4. U.S. 20 from the old Bend Bums road junction to town of Millican, a distance of about 12 miles. This sketch would be along the new survey of U.S. Highway 20 from a point about five miles southeast of the Bradetich ranch es over Horse Ridge to Millican. The act passed by the 19S1 legis lature provides that areas within cities, commercial areas and busi ness areas are exempt from being classified as scenic areas, and along the Mid - Oregon highways proposed for scenic designation it is presumed these areas would be excluded from the request On stretches ot highways set aside as icenia areaatb-law would prohibit the erection of signs and billboards. However, ex isting signs along these stretches of highways may remain for a pe riod of seven years. "On premise" signs, official signs and signs advertising the sale or lease of property are not affected. Announcement of the August 27 meeting in Bend was made by Donald J. Stewart, president of the Oregon Roadside Council. "It is hoped that member of the Oregon Roadside Council and others concerned with preserving the 'natural beauty along Oregon's highways will attend this hearing to help support the proposal made to the Scenic Area Commission, Stewart, a resident of Portland said. This will be the first meeting of the Scenic Area Commission in Central Oregon. The Commission was authorized under provisions of the 1961 Act that provides for designation of scenic areas along major highways. Veteran Oregon newsman dies PORTLAND (UPI) William A.
