CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 59th Year Twelve Pages Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Friday, November 30, 1962 Ten Cents No. 304 ETIN Chinese seem to be pulling troops back NEW DELHI (UPI Commu nist Chinese troops appeared to be pulling out of some areas along the border with India today hours before their scheduled withdrawal. But sources close to Prime Min ister Jawaharlal Nehru's office cautioned that it still was too early to tell if the movement out of the North East Frontier Agen cy (NEFA) region was only a token move or the real tiling. Information from government sources confirmed earlier military reports that fewer and fewer Red Chinese troops were visible in front of the Indian positions. As these developments took place India asked Red China for still another "clarification" of its withdrawal plans which were scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. PST. "A fresh note seeking more pre cise information was handed to the Chinese charge d'affaires this afternoon, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said. He said the note referred to Chinese withdrawal and cease-fire plans and not to the letter that Nehru received Thursday from Chou En-lai, the Peking premier. He said this letter was "under consideration separately," but de clined to disclose its contents ex cept to say it also referred to Chinese proposals. Commander Replaced In another development, the De fense Ministry confirmed that Lt. Gen. S.H.F.J. Manekshaw has been named commander of India's NEFA and eastern forces. He re places Lt Gen. B.M. Kaul, named by Nehru and ousted Defense Min ister V.K. Krishna Menon in Oc tober to clear the invading Chi nese forces out of the NEFA. The new move came in the wake of Anglo-American efforts persuad ing India and Pakistan to try to patch up their bitter traditional quarrels, including rival claims to Kashmir, so that they could com bine to present a solid defense of the entire Indian-Pakistan subcon tinent against the common enemy of Communist aggressioa Nona too Soon There were indications the agreement cams none too soon. Red China started broadcasting accusations of Indian intrusions along the cease-fire line perhaps as a prelude to a resumption of hostilities by the Chinese. A joint communique issued In New Delhi and the Pakistani cap ital of Rawalpindi said represent atives of the two nations would get together and prepare for a summit meeting between Presi dent Mohammed Ayub Khan and Prima Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

Judge SB rreem date Jan. 29t BLM plans to 'unbottle' river areas PORTLAND (UPI) A Bureau of Land Management official said today BLM is planning construc tion of public access roads and development of recreation facili ties for public use along the mid dle and lower Deschutes River where lands now are "bottled up." Robert E. Wilber, a staff as sistant to the Oregon BLM direc tor, told the Portland Chapter of the Izaak Walton League the facilities would bring millions of dollars into local and state econ omies every year. Wilber said there are 60 miles of publicly owned river frontage along the lower and middle De schutes which are bottled up and closed to the public by a few private organizations. He said the organizations are maintaining roads and other improvements on public lands and using the lands as "their own private recreation retreat." "To permit these lands to re main bottled up for limited use is contrary to the public interest," he said. . . , , . . .. 25,000 Acr BLM designated 25,000 acres of public lands along the Deschutes for retention in federal ownership as a multiple use public land management area in 1961. The bureau has since entered into agreement with the Oregon Game Commission on development and management of the area's re sources. Wilber said public recreation will receive top priority but graz ing, wildlife use, watershed pro tection, mineral development and other uses will be worked into future development. ' He said the game commission estimates 66,300 angler trips were made to the Deschutes River be tween Warm Springs and its mouth during 1961 and that $520, 000 was spent in pursuit of fish in that part of the stream. "All this in spite of the very limited access the public has to that portion of the Deschutes, hp said. Wilber complimented the Izaak Walton group for its active role In past years in improving the public land access pattern. But he also said some of the members of the league also are members of other organizations blocking ac cess to public lands along the Deschutes. Council backs term for Thant UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.

JFK's meeting with Mikoyan proves failure WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy's long conference with Soviet Deputy Premier An astas I. Mikoyan failed to lessen the lingering differences over Cuba and pointed up the possibil ity of new East-West dissension in Southeast Asia. Mikoyan was meeting today at lunch with Secretary of State Dean Rusk but officials said they did not expect this talk to alter matters materially. The White House announced, after the 3-hour and 20-minute Kennedy-Mikoyan session Thurs day evening, that they had agreed Soviet and American negotiators in New York should continue their efforts to tie up loose ends of the Oct. 28 agreement on removal of Red missiles and bombers from Cuba. Makt No Progress The U.S. officials added that the White House session failed to make any progress on any dis puted points, including the major question of how and when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev is go ing to make good on his promise to permit United Nations inspec tors to check Cuban bases to make certain all offensive weap ons have been removed. Officials said the danger of new disorders in Southeast Asia came up in discussing Laos. The Presi dent was understood to have point ed out that a considerable num ber of Communist North Vietnam ese troops remain in northern Laos despite the Soviet pledge to see that they were removed under the international agreement to "neutralize" the kingdom.

He said he had met him only twice, in a Mountain Home restaurant and at the Mountain Home Air Force base, and would not recognize him today. Anderson, cleared of murder charges in a state court Monday because of Dickie's confession to the killings, has been charged again with the Johnson murders, this time by the Air Force. Dickie, 21, said ha "can't un to No emotion is shown by 21 -year-old Spaclal to Tha Bullotln MADRAS Twenty-one-year-old Jeannace June Freeman, con victed slayer of Larry Jackson, 6, heard the date for her execu tion set for the second time, this morning in the circuit courtroom of the Jefferson County Court house. Judge Robert H. Foley set the date of Jan. 29, 1963, for her execution in the gas chamber at the Oregon State Penitentiary. The execution, set earlier for December 6, was postponed by court order when Judge Foley last week granted a petition by Miss Freeman's attorneys asking for delay at least until January 23. They requested the time in order to decide whether to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Miss Freeman showed no vis ible emotion as the execution date was set. Judge Foley announced it after telling Miss Freeman that the motion filed by her attorneys had been allowed. 90 Days for Appaal The petition by the attorneys, William Holmes and Cash Per rine of Bend, was based on a fed eral law that gives a defendant 90 days from the date of a mandate by a state supreme court, to file an appeal. The Oregon Supreme Court in September ruled that Miss Freeman received "an eminently fair" trial. In judging the trial fair, the Oregon high court affirmed the death sentence, and the mandate went to Judge Foley, to set the original execution date. The 90 day period from the mandate would expire on Jan. 23, 1963. The jury that found Miss Free man guilty did not recommend mercy, making the death sent ence mandatory under the Oregon Constitution. Her attorneys have appealed to Gov. Mark Hatfield to commute the death sentence, but he has not made a decision. Mrs. Ger trude Nunez Jackson, 33, mother of Larry and hb four-year-old sis tor, Martha, killed at the same time, was given a life sentence fo.- her participation in the crime. The two children were thrown into the 300-foot deep Crooked River gorge at Peter Skene Og den State Park. Their mangled bodies were discovered on May 31, 1961, by a Bend man, Walter Meyer, who stopped at the park and looking over the parapet, spotted them by chance. George Neavoll, Eugene, a stu dent at the University of Oregon, who has had an audience with Gov. Hatfield on Miss Freeman's behalf, claims that the state is responsible for conditions which resulted in a Lesbian affair be tween Miss Freeman and Mrs. Nunez. He said that she has developed an interest in number - painting pictures in oil, and that she was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church recently at the prison. Miss Freeman's attorneys said that they had received a number of letters from persons who feel that she should not be executed. Contributions of one or two dol lars, and one of 10 dollars, were enclosed to help finance her ap peal to the U. S. Supreme Court if one is maoe. Miss Freeman was brought to Madras yesterday from the Ore gon State Penitentiary by Sheriff S. E. Summerfield and Jefferson county deputies. theory derstand at all" why the military authorities will not believe he and not Anderson committed the layings. "The only thing I can think of is they're trying to save face," Dickie told UPI in his isolation cell at Ada County Jail. "From what I understand they're the one's responsible for getting a confession out of Anderson." Dickie said he feels the con fession not only "had to be false but it is. That lie detector test I took proved it," he said. FIXIN' 'EM UP Armed with welding goggles and ball-peen hammer, fireman Vanca Barber approaches time-consuming task of hammering used and broken toys Into models that look Sir Winston has birthday eighty-eight LONDON (UPI) Sir Winston Churchill celebrated his 88th birthday today with his first great grandchild and the prospect of a royal princess in the family. Churchill also set his sights on two important dates in the near future. One is around the first of the year, when he hopes to pres sure his doctors into allowing him a Riviera vacation. He has not been there since last June, when he broke his leg and became dan gerously ill with complications. The other date is five months from today, when Chruchill will have lived longer than any other British prime minister. Queen Victoria's prime minister, William Gladstone, died at the age of 88 years and five months. Churchill's good health and tough constitution seem certain to get him past this mark. Birthday congratulations poured in to the Churchill town house near Hyde Park today. Among them were messages from Presi dent Kennedy and former Presi dent Dwlght D. Eisenhower. Churchill got an early birthday present Thursday when Princess Alexandra, Queen Elizabeth's cousin, announced her engage ment to Angus Ogilvy, a London businessman who is the son of the Earl of Airlie. Churchill's wife also is descended from the earls of Airlie, and Uio princess will become a relative by marriage. Churchill's new great grandson, Mark Dixon, is now two weeks old and Sir Winston was known to be anxious to have him join the traditional quiet family party that marks his birthdays. Only a few close friends join the family guests. KENNEDY NAMES ENVOY WASHINGTON (UPI) Presi dent Kennedy Thursday nominat ed William J.

(UPI) - Peti tions were circulated on the Uni versity of Mississippi campus Thursday night calling for the impeachment of the editor of the student newspaper for her editori al stand during the school's ra cial crisis. Shortly before the petitions were brought into dormitories and fraternity houses the student activities committee of the cam pus senate, a student government group, reprimanded the editor, Sidna Browcr. Miss Brower, a pretty, dark haired journalism student from Memphis, said she was not dis turbed by the actions. "I feel like I have stood up for what is right," Miss Brower, 21, said. The committee's resolution said Miss Brower, who edits the Daily partner mitted the act was traced to me so how can they say it was him?" Dickie asked. "I imagine my brother and ister-in-Iaw have identified it. They botn naa seen it." Until he was accused of the Reitan girl's murder, Dickie said, he had intended to let the Moun tain Home case and Anderson'! fate "ride." Now, however, he ays he does care what happens to Anderson.

It is essential that Elk members receive the toys early enough to have them out before the holiday rolls around, that is, at least a week in advance of Christmas morn ing.

They have been mending and dressing the dolls that come in and repairing play things for little girls.

The measure was adopted as a substitute for a censure resolu tion proposed by senior George Monroe, of Newton, Miss. The resolution adopted was con sidered to be milder than the one offered by Monroe. The resolution said Miss Brow er failed to protest "the unneces sary firing of tear gas" by fed eral marshals and Army troops during rioting the night of Sct. 30 and morning of Oct. 1 when Negro James Meredith was brought onto the campus to be registered as a student. The resolution will be recom mended to the campus senate fur final approval when it meets Tuesday night. The committee said the resolu tion "should not be construed as being opposed to editorial free dom" and commended Miss Brower "for deploring the vio lence which has taken place on this campus." Monroe told the committee that Miss Brower's editorials have not reflected the thinking of the "Ole Miss" student body. Miss Brower repeatedly has urged against vio lence and demonstrations protest ing Meredith's enrollment. She said she was not disturbed bv the impeachment petitions and indicated many students would support her. Miss Brower was elected editor in balloting by the student body and receives a sal ary of $100 per month. ask contributors to leava toys or they won't reach naady tots Sh nne game ' tickets among auction items Four tickets to the East-West Shrine football game in San Fran Cisco on Saturday, December 29, will be among Items to be auc tioned by Bend Kiwanians In their radio - telephone auction next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
