Faulty radar delays Cooper's flight 24 hours
CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla.
(UPD Gordon Cooper's attempt
to fly 22 times around the world
was postponed for 24 hours today
by a faulty tracking radar on
which his safety and the success
of his mission depended.
Walter C. Williams, operations
chief of the Mercury space pro
gram, announced that a second
attempt would be made at 6 a.m.
PDT Wednesday.
Today's postponement Was an
nounced at 7:57 a.m. PDT. 12 min-
utes before the Air Force major
was to have vaulted into the sky
atop an Atlas rocket for a 34
hour trip through space.
Cooper, 36, whoso mission is to
set a new space flight record for
Americans, had been in his
cramped Faith 7 cabin 4 hours
and 19 minutes when the reluctant
decision was made to scrub the
flight.
Radar Is Essential
The radar trouble developed at
the Bermuda tracking station on
which Mercury controllers depend
to determine whether a spacecraft
has gone successfully into orbit.
The radar will be given a final
check at 4 p.m. today.
The trouble with the radar coin
cided with failure of the diesel
engine which moves the 150-foot,
450-ton service tower away from
the Atlas booster before blastoff.
The engine failure, first in the
memory of cape veterans, forced
a delay of more than two hours
in Cooper's planned liftoff. Then
the radar difficulties necessitated
a scrub for the day.
Williams said the radar defect
at first appeared to be minor.
Then conditions "deteriorated as
the count progressix!."
Other than tlie diesel and radar
troubles, the preflight check,
known as the countdown, had pro
ceeded with unusual smoothness.
Cooper and the weather, the
spacecraft and its booster were
all right for the shot.
After the postponement, Cooper
was eased out of his spacecraft
and returned to Hangar E, his
preflight home on the cape. He
had started the day at 12:50 a.m.
PDT.
Cooper had been reported "in
good spirits" as be awaited his
fate aboard the Faith 7. Williams
remarked at a news conference
after the scrub that the astro
naut's 4 hours and 19 minutes in
his cabin was "a very good simu
lation" of space flight.
Cooper's mission is to spend 34
hours in space to check the ef
fects of weightlessness on human
beings and to perform tests vital
to the forthcoming two-man Gem
ini Apollo moon flights.
President Kennedy was notified
of the scrub a minute before it
was announced publicly at the
cape, according to Press Secre
tary Pierre Salinger. Salinger said
the President was notified in a
telephone call from the cape.
WEATHER
Mostly fair, possible thunder
storms in mountains; highs near
70; lows 32-37.

Sum for band
to remain,
on 6 to 5 vote
By Garald Drapeau
Bulletin Staff Writer
Bend city budget committeemen
gave tentative okays to all pro
posed allotments for the budget
items reviewed in a two-hour
meeting held last night in city
hall.
The group moved rapidly
through most of the items consid
ered, but a lengthy argument rag
ed over a proposed $3,000 appro
priation for support of the mu
nicipal band. Only a tie-breaking
vote by Chairman Maurice Shel
ton saved the appropriation aft
er committeemen deadlocked
their vote on the issue, five to
five.
Most of those opposing the ex
penditure contended that band
members benefit most, playing as
a "hobby." It was also pointed
out that only one other Oregon
city, Ashland, has a budget allot
ment for municipal band support.
But committeemen favoring its
support were convinced enough of
the public benefit derived to con
sider the proposed sum justified.
Money Added
In other areas, committeemen
added $500 for purposes of adver
tising the city of Bend to prospec
tive industrialists and tourists.
Another $500 goes annually toward
publication of a Deschutes County-
financed brochure which adver
tises the county as .a-unit; , . .
Two items reviewed last night
have been raised substantially
from last year's fund. One, gain
ing tentative approval, is a $105,-
830 police department fund, up
from last year's allotment by $7,
756.18. Added costs will send the
police chief to a three-month FBI
school in Washington, D.C., and
furnish needed police equipment.
Also raised by $2,725 is a $3,825
figure for the planning depart
ment. A proposed comprehensive
tri-county planning program is re
sDonsible for the increase.
Other items receiving tentative
approval were $42,832 for public
recreation, down from last year's
S43.583.06: and $26,934.14 for the
park department, up slightly from
last year's $26,746.22. .
New to the 1963-64 budget is a
$1,000 allotment for fencing of the
Gilchrist footbridge, from which
two Bend youngsters have tum
bled to their death in Ihe past
year.
Venezuela ousts
U.S. educator
CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI) -
A U.S. educator has been expelled
from Venezuela because a news
paper here quoted him as saying
that the way to end Communist
terrorism in Venezuela would be
to kill a score of top Reds, in
cluding those who are sheltering
behind parliamentary immunity.
Philip Taylor, associate profes
sor of Latin American studies at
Johns Hopkins University, was es
corted to the airport Monday by
three plainclothes policemen and
put aboard a plane bound for New
York.
Taylor said he was "grossly
misquoted" by the Caracas news
paper which published what it
said was an "interview" with him
Monday.
The newspaper quoted him as
saying that "Violence and subver
sion in Venezuela will be wiped
out only when the government...
commits a score of homicides."
"In that way, the heads and di
rectors of the wave of terrorism
affecting this country will be
finished off." the interviewer said
Taylor told him. "These gentle
men are in the Senate and Cham
ber of Deputies.
"They are first and foremost
among those who must be ell
minated. For instance, Dr. (Com
munist boss and Congressman)
Gustavo Machado and his brother
Muardo."
"I did not say what the news
paper said I did," said Taylor who
came here to participate in a
week-lone seminar on "the chal
lenge of democratic ideas spon
.wired bv the U.S. Emhassy. "1
was talking in rathef general
terms , t mentioned no one by
name..."

Long-awaited
turbine powered
car is offered
JERSEY CITY. N.J. UPI-
Chrysler Corp. ushered the jet
age into the automotive industry
today with the introduction of its
long-awaited turbine powered car
at Roosevelt Raceway.
The car, which will be tested
by some 200 motorists during the
next year, is a sleek four-seater
styled by Ghia of Italy. Chrysler
thinks it might hold the key to
one of the richest caches of the
automotive future.
The turbine is the result of
years of planning and research
by Chrysler engineers. Both Ford
and General Motors have been
working on turbine-engined vehi
cles for some time and Ford
plans to introduce a turbine-pow
ered truck this month. However,
Ford admits the truck is at least
eight years away from mass pro

Haiti
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
State Department said today it is
discussing with Latin American
governments the possibility of
withdrawing diplomatic re
cognition from Haiti.
U.S. officials claimed the six-
year term of Haitian President
Francois Duvalier expires Wed
nesday, although he has declared
himself re-eiected.
Board favors
final, binding
arbitration
WASHINGTON (UPI) A presi
dential emergency board today re
commended final and binding ar
bitration as one of the means of
averting a nationwide rail strike
over the issue of featherbed jobs
on the railroads.
A long dispute over the rail
roads' plans to eliminate fire
men's jobs on diesel locomotives
has resulted in a threat by the
railroads' operating unions to
strike, even though the Supreme
Court earlier this year upheld
management's right to change
work rules.
President Kennedy received the
emergency board's report Monday
night and met with the three-man
panel today. He said in a state
ment that the companies ana me
unions should give "the most seri
ous consideration" to the board's
recommendations.
The President said there is "no
time to be lost for completing...
agreement in this dispute, and
added:
The future of collective bar
gaining may well depend upon the
reaching of an agreement by ne
gotiation cs provided by the Rail
way Labor Act.
Kennedy s a i d the federal gov
ernment was prepared to give
whatever assistance needed "to
help the parties reach a just and
equitable settlement, but the ulti
mata dependence must be upon
their (union and company) own
efforts."
The board's report recommend
ed eliminating firemen's jobs as
thev become vacant for one rea
son or another. And where dis
putes crop up over elimination of
jobs, the board proposed negotia
tions for settlement by local nego
tiation or, in event mis fails, by
final and binding arbitration.
The board proposed that lull-
time firemen with 10 or more
years seniority be kept on their
jobs. Those witn less tnan tu
years seniority would be transfer
red to other comparable jobs,
with a guarantee of no cut In pay.
Others on less permanent status
would receive severance pay or
would have the choice of being
placed on a priority list for hiring
when a new job opened up.

program drafted in secret to raise
an additional $52 million was ap
proved 4-3 by the Senate Tax
Committee Monday.

the House approved bill which
would have raised an additional
$35 million, was approved in a
30 minute executive session
capped by the formalities of a
vote and the distribution of a pre
prepared publicity release.
The bill appeared doBtined to
be reiected by the House, thus
necessitating a conference com
mittee to draft an income tax pro
gram. I
The Senate committee also!

lates the principle of ability to
pay."
The Senate committee wem

the proposal for about 15 minutes
before voting for it.

Have top 'batting averages
Young scholars honored by college
By Phil F. Brogan
Bullatln Staff Writer
Central Oregon high school stu
dents who have won recognition
in the scholastic field and whose
"batting averages" are recorded
in high CPA figures were honor
ed here today.
The occasion was a national
honor society conference sponsor
ed by Phi Theta Kappa, junior
college honor group, and Central
Oregon College.
Governor Mark O. Hatfield
came across the Cascades from
Salem to pay his tribute to the
approximately 180 honor students
from the big area served by Cen
tral Oregon College. He was to
speak before an assembly this aft
ernoon in the Gold Room of the
Pilot Butte Inn.
In that same room this morn
ing at 9:30, Dr. Orde S. Pinckney,
COC dean of instruction, wel
comed the youngsters, with "Ex
cellence" as his topic.
"Central Oregon dedicates this
day to you, and all the world takes
pride in your achievements," Dr.
Pinckney said, adding later as he
quoted William James: "The
world is only beginning to see that
the wealth of a nation consists
more than in anything else in the
number of superior men that it
harbors'."
However, "men" were not in
the majority in the group seated
in the big hall: about two thirds
of the Central Oregon honor stu
dents are girls.
Presiding at the opening ses
sion, and introducing Dr. Pinck
ney, was J. Vernon Crawford,
COC Phi Theta Kappa member
from Prineville.
Delayed by bus trouble, Madras
students were slightly behind
schedule in arriving.
Immediately following the open
ing assembly, the students, divid
ed into three groups, were assign
ed different rooms for panel pre
sentations. Panel A was assigned
the topic "I.Q. versus G.Q." Pan
el B had as its topic "Our Im
age: Hillbilly or Piccadilly," and
Panel C "Honor Medals: Under
pins or Pinups."
Each group was assigned a Cen
tral Oregon College student as
moderator. Panel presentations
were rotated, making it possible
for all students to hear the dis
cussions.
Moderators were Sam Swaim,
Margaret Gall and Douglas Whit
sett, all COC students. Recorders
were W. W. Johnson, Myrtis Lew
is and Keith Clark.
Each high school was represent
ed by two panelists.
Shortly before noon, the groups
recessed for a box lunch, served
in sunny Drake Park. The stu
dent3, advisers and various facul
ty members were back in the Gold
Room by 1 p.m. to hear the talk
by Governor Hatfield.

But Kennedy
irm on
egal powers
WASHINGTON (UPI) PresU
dent Kennedy was reported today
to be "cautiously optimistic" that
local authorities would be able to
resolve Birmingham's racial crisis
without federal troops being used.
Senate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield, Mont., gave the ap
praisal of the President's weekly
meeting with Democratic legisla
tive leaders, which was devoted
to discussion of the Birmingham
crisis.
"The President is very hopeful,
and very desirous, that this mat-
tor can be settled on a local lev-
el," said Mansfield. He added that
Kennedy hoped the "good sense" .
of the local leaders would prevail
in the crisis.
As for; Kennedy's authority to
dispatut the- troops to -ihe tense
area, Mansfield said, "I don e
think there is any question," that
the President does have such
right, Alabama Gov. George C
Wallace claims the President act

At Local Laval
Mansfield said Kennedy "doesn't
want to use the troops (and) feels
the main responsibility is with the
local groups and wants them to

Birmingham flare-ups.
Replying Monday to Wallace's
challenge of his authority to send
standby troops, Kennedy appealed
to the governor for "constructive
cooperation to make their use
unnecessary.
Raphes lo Wallace
Kennedy's telegram replied to
one Wallace sent him Sunday
night, after the President an
nounced shipment of riot control
units to bases near Birmingham
and took preliminary action to fed

Guard if necessary.
The governor sent a second mes
sage to Kennedy Monday, disput
