CENTRAL OREGON'S DAILY NEWSPAPER 60th Year Sixteen Pages Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon, Wednesday, May 8, 1963 Ten Cents No. 130 S. airlifts Americans out of Haiti PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti UPI) The United States today evacu ated nearly 200 Americans from strife-torn Haiti in a two-plane airlift. The evacuation was car ried out without apparent inci dent. The first batch of 68 depend ents of U.S. Embassy personnel went out on a regular commer cial flight at 7:50 a.m. PDT. The second aircraft, a charter flight from Miami, departed at 9 a.m. Of the 106 persons on the char ter flight, 84 were dependents of military personnel. The first plane was returning to Miami, Fla., via Montcgo Bay, Jamica. The second plane, how ever, was scheduled to fly direct to Miami. U.S. Embassy officials said they had expected about 200 American civilians or their dependents also to evacuate, but that the Wash ington recommendation they leave Haiti apparently had not been ac cepted. Other Flights Thursday Evacuation of 220 U.S. govern ment civilian personnel and de pendents here is expected to be completed Thursday morning with the arrival of a second charter Telstar II is very much on course NEW YORK (UPI) - Despite weak signals received at a French tracking station. Telstar II, the newest communications satellite is very much on course, a spokes man for American Telephone & Telegraph Co. said today. Once it is in orbit, "a satellite doesn't get off course," a spokes man said. "It just continues to go around and around." He traced weak signals received Tuesday night at Pleumeur Bodou, France, to an "inauspicious slant range" and "attitude" of the satellite. The "slant range" of Telstar II, or its distance in space from tracking stations, was especially great Tuesday night he said. This, he added, will improve as the sat ellite'.? orbit changes in relation to tracking stations on earth. The "attitude" of the "bird," he said, had put its antenna for re ceiving signals on the far side of the satellite. Thus scheduled transmissions tests for a pass of the Telstar were cancelled early today. The gleaming space vehicle, launched Tuesday at Cape Canav eral, Fla., had a trajectory "as close to normal as any we have had to date," according to Rob ert H. Gray, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. ' At Goonhilly Downs. England, a spokesman for the British track ing station said he had "heard nothing about" the French report of trouble with the satellite. He said the station had picked up a "good" picture from Telstar II early today. There was speculation that Tel star II would be able to relay to overseas points television pictures of astronaut L. Gordon Cooper's 22-orbit flight around the earth scheduled for next week. Spokesmen for three of the ma jor networks said they hoped parts of the Cooper shot could be re layed live on European television. JOINING DEMONSTRATION NEW YORK (UPD Jackie Robinson, the first Negro to crack miior 1 ' bar rier, said Tuesday he will join the anti-segregation demonstra tions in Birmingham, Ala., next week. Mt.

There are also two regularly scheduled Pan American World Airways flights out of Port-au-Prince Thursday. Most of today's evacuees were children, dressed in their Sunday best for the occasion. Heaps of baggage were stacked around the airport. The U.S. order to evacuate wo men and children of government personnel was issued Tuesday be cause of what Washington termed a "continued deterioration" of the internal situation in Haiti. The U. S. government Tuesday ordered all 220 dependents re moved and urged the 1,300 pri vate American residents to leave Haiti also. "Progressiva Disintegration" Undersecretary of State George W. Ball said in Washington that the regime of President Francois Duvalier "seems to be in a kind of progressive disintegration" and in fact appears to be "fall ing apart." (In Willemstad, Curacao, in formed sources said the Haitian government had requested per mission for a military plane to land on that Dutch Caribbean is land off the Venezuelan coast, about 475 miles southeast of Hai ti. (The sources said Haiti told Curacao authorities the plane's mission was to pick up passen gers but there was no immedi ate reply to the authorities' re quest to specify the passengers' names. The report raised specu lation that Haitian officials, pos sibly including Duvalier himself, might be making arrangements to leave the troubled Negro re public.) Capital Appear Calm The Haitian capital appeared calm today, but a strict 8-to-5 curfew remained in effect Tuesday night An exodus of Americans from Port-au-Prince has been in evi dence for the past 10 days since the crisis with the Dominican Re public, Haiti's neighbor on the is land of Hispaniola, neared the boiling point. The threat of a Dominican in vasion seemed to be held in abeyance today pending action by the Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Na tions Security Council. Haiti re quested the U.N. action. Gogerty given 15-year term Special to The Bulletin PRINEVHAE William F.

Jibe by Pearson recalls Hatfield auto accident SALEM (UPI) An auto ac cident many years ago in which Gov. Mark Hatfield was involved was brought to life again today as senators voiced protests at Hat field's criticism of the Senate Highway and Tax Committees. Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Port- land, lashed out at Hatfield's crit icism of the Highway Committee action in tabling a speed limit bill. Hatfield scored the commit tee action during a television re port Monday night. Pearson charged all accidents were not caused by high speed, "sometimes they are caused by high grass." Sen. Anthony Yturri, R-Ontario, Senate minority leader, interpret ed the "high grass" comment as reference to the death of a child after having been struck by a car driven by Hatfield. Grass Brought Up Part of the testimony at a civil trial was that high grass at the roadside was a factor In the ac cident. Yturri said he was sorry the incident had been revived, and read a statement made by Hat field when Sen. Wayne Morse brought up the accident during Hatfield's first campaign for gov ernor. . . Pearson said that before the session began he protested that the governor was being given time on a television station that could be used to promote the gov ernor's program and criticize the legislature. The Portland Democrat said the Highway Committee opposed the speed bill because it increased the speed limit, and charged Hatfield had used the television appear ance to make "personal attacks" on the legislature. Sen. Vernon Cook, D-Gresham, said "If the governor is sincere in wanting a compromise tax pro gram he should have a represent ative attend Senate Tax Commit tee meetings" to express the ad ministration's view on proposed changes in the House - approved tax measure. "We are entitled to the gover nor's views," Cook said. "It is not fair for him to sit back and snipe at everything we do, he said. During Monday's news confer ence, Hatfield had warned of the dangers of writing a compromise tax bill in a Senate-House con ference. MARILYN'S HOME SOLD LOS ANGELES (UPI) The Brentwood home in which Marilyn Monroe died last August was sold Tuesday to a physician for $92, 150. Dr. Gilbert M.

"I don't remember much," Pat says of her rescue wait "I laughed, I sang, I talked to my self, I cried and I prayed a little." . An Air Force helicopter re moved her to a John Day, Ore., hospital where she spent three months. Altogether, Pat has had 14 op erations on her legs since the crash. Her hands also were froz en while on the mountain and the feeling only came back complete Salary boosts are sought by assessor By lla S. Grant Bulletin Staff Writer Budget askings of Assessor Rob ert Lyons and Clerk Helen Dacey were given item-by-item scrutiny, at last night's meeting of the Deschutes County Budget Com mittee. Both elected officials ap peared before the board, to ex plain the askings they submitted and answer questions. Lyons asked for a $1,000 annual salary increase for himself, to $7,200, and $3,600 in salary in creases for nine employes, with yearly raises ranging from $210 to $840. His total tentative budget came to $72,960, compared with $73,160 last year. New Machine John Stenkamp of the budget board pointed out that although the proposed budget for this year shows a drop, $12,000 of last year's amount was for a new ma chine for the reappraisal pro gram, which should be a non-recurring item. Priday Holmes and Robert whiltier concurred that the allowable six per cent in crease should be figured from a starting point of something over $61,000, rather than the $73,160. Some salaries are more or less set at the state level, it was point ed out, because of Civil Service regulations. The assessor said that there are bills pending at the leg islature that would effect the sal ary scale, but that he did not have a definite figure at present for the recommended increases. The only worker in the depart ment for whom the assessor did not request a wage raise is his wife, who works part time as a machine deputy, for $2400 a year. A salary item of $3200 was re quested for a new full-time ma chine operator, advanced from a clerk-typist, and the assessor re quested that $1000 of the $1600 al lowed for a clerk-typist be lett in the budget to provide for part- time help. Auto Requested The assessor requested $2,100 for a new automobile, with one of the tiva in the- department to be traded in. The assessor said that $600 allowed last year for a new motor for one of the vehicles was not spent, and returned to the general fund. George Baker, county commissioner, said in ans wer to questions after the asses sor left, that part of the $600 was used for a second-hand automo bile, so the equipment item was actually spent. Part of the bal ance apparently went to the staff school item, which was over spent $88.40, to $288.40. Mrs. Dacey, whose salary is $6,200, asked for no increase this year. She was raised from $5,599. 92 last year, and from $5,100 in 1960. The clerk asked for a $400 raise for her first deputy, Opal Spra- gue, to $5,300. Mrs. Sprague has been with the department 26 years, the clerk said. She also asked lor $400 more lor tne sec ond deputy, and an $80 raise for a part-time deputy. She asked for a $600 increase for extra clerk hire, because of the added volume of work. - Her original asking of $2,800 for machine supplies, the same figure as last year's, may have to be increased to $3300, she said, if extra photostating work, for which the department is reimbursed, is undertaken. Her total proposed budget is $25,000, compared with $23,120 last year.

Pictured here is Keith Large llirnouh expected here at game hearing The Oregon Slate Game Com mission will hold a public hearing in Bend Thursday night. May 9, and members of the Oregon Fish and Game Council are predicting a big turnout. Headed by Chairman Rollin Bowles, Portland, the five-member commission will hold the hear ing in the Bend Senior High School auditorium, with 8 p.m. set as the starting time. The commission is expected to be under fire from the Fish and Game Council, a state-wide group that had its origin in Bend last fall following the doer season. The Council in late April asked Gov ernor Hatfield to "request the immediate resignations of all the members of the Oregon State Game Commission." The council, with Gerald Mc- Cann as the Deschutes chapter chairman, has charged that the game commission "has progres sively liberalized the killing of does and fawns, both as to num bers and length of the hunting seasons, and that such policies have brought the deer herds to the verge of destruction." The Bend meeting will be the last of a scries held by the game commission throughout the state. About 100 persons attended the hearing in Klamath Falls this past week.

He warned of "severe discipli nary action" against all who are caught, including the 14 students already arrested. The arrested stu dents were released in $25 bail each pending a hearing May 20 on disorderly conduct charges. The mob of students staged a panty raid at Westminster Choir College, set off fireworks and sirens, blocked and stoned a pas senger train, unleashed a salvo of cherry bombs at the governor's maasion, and rolled a one-ton com pression machine downhill into traffic. The compression machine slammed into a light standard. Goheen told reporters 15 hours later the rioters lacked any ex cuse, "nor can their conduct be brushed aside by 'spring madness' 'boys will be boys' or any such euphemism."

NEVADA TEST SITE (UPI) There's a bomb crater here so big that the Pentagon could sit on top and have only its corners touch the edge. The Sedan crater was formed by the detonation of a lOO-kiloton thermonuclear device July 6, 1962, as part of the Atomic En ergy Commission's Plowshare pro gram. The charge was buried 625 feet deep in the desert floor about 95 miles northwest of Las Vegas. Newsmen went to the site Tues day and viewed the man made chasm for the first time, riding down the sheer 320-foot side in a cable car. T he purpose of the crater, to learn more about the potential man has of blasting harbors and canals with nuclear energy with the resultant savings in both time and money. The day when commercial ap plication of nuclear energy in this field will become a reality, how ever, may be several years off. In fact today nearly a year after the Sedan shot scientists still are trying to figure out how much dirt came out of the crater.
