JFK predicts American . . .
. . . on moon by end of '60s
Coopw gete a Veil done fir
in mmmj
WASHINGTON (UPI) Air
Force Ma'. L. Gordon Cooper, 36,
flanked by the fellow astronauts
who blazed America's path into
space, received a presidential
"well done" today arid a hero's
welcome in the nation's capital.
Drawling a "thank y'all" in his
Oklahoma accent, the astronaut
accepted a medal and President
Kennedy's thanks in a colorful
and crowded ceremony in the
White House rose garden after a
triumphant entry into the city.
The beaming chief executive
said he was "proud our country
continues to produce such young
men who go so far" and do so
much.
Cooper's spectacular flight last
week, Kennedy said, proved the
necessity of having men in the
space capsules instead of just ma
chinery, and he predicted there
would be an American on the
moon before the end of the 1960s.
Noting that Cooper was being
honored on the anniversary of
Charles A. Lindbergh's historic
flight to Paris, Kennedy said their
flights took about the same time
but that Cooper covered many,
many times Lindbergh's distance.
Yet, he said, both ventures were
hazardous and daring for their
times.
It was a crowded and gala day
for Cooper, youngest and last of
the seven original astronauts to
ride the Mercury capsule. It start
ed with a rousing reception from
his Air Force bosses and fellow
servicemen at Andrews Air Force
Base outside Washington. -
With his proud family by his
side, the astronaut flew from An
drews to the ellipse in a heli
copter, rode in an open car with
Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson
into the White House grounds, and
responded with a wave to the ap
plause of his fellow citizens lining
the route.
He received the Distinguished
Service Medal of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration from Kennedy, who had
called him and his fellow astro
nauts this "very distinguished
group of Americans."
The only one missing was Lt.
Col. John H. Glenn Jr., who is in
Japan on a visit. Kennedy said
he was sure Glenn was there in
spirit.
Kennedy pointedly referred to
the fnct that on this day 36 years
ago Lindbergh landed in Paris. He
used the Lindbergh flight to get
in a plug for the U.S. program
to laud a man on the moon at a
cost of $20 billion or more.
There are those, the President
said, who ask "Why go to the
moon?" Just as many asked Lind
bergh in 1927. "Why go to Paris?"

U. S. geologists study area volcanic features
By Phil F. Brogan
Bulletin Staff Writer
Geologists who will have a part
in the interpretation of the moon's
surface prior to the landing of
America's lunar astronauts were
looking over volcanic features of
Central Oregon today.
Several members of the group,
headed by Parke Snavely, chief
of the Pacific Coast branch of the
United States Geologic Survey,
flew over the area on arriving
from Portland yesterday, took
time out to join Bend Chamber of
Commerce and Kiwaniaou at a
luncheon, then visited the volcanic
country just south of Bend Mon
day afternoon.
Early this morning, the group,
composed of federal and state
geologists, drove south to the Fort
Rock country, to look over vol
canic features, old craters, . the
Devils Garden area and lava
tubes.
Two of the visitors, Donald El
lston, acting chief of the USGS
astrogeology section, and Hal
Mazursky, his assistant, were
speakers at the Chamber-Kiwanis
luncheon, and were presented by
Pat Metke of Bend's Lunar Base
Research Facility, Inc. Gordon
Randall, Chamber president,
headed the luncheon meeting,
largely devoted to the showing of
slides comparing lunar features
with craters on the earth.
Mazursky said the lunar probe
will be in three phases: The Ran
ger will be used in an initial hard
landing, followed by the Surveyor,
in an instrumented soft landing.
Then will come the big space car
rier Apollo, with two men aboard.
Target areas of the various
probes were pointed out, through
use of slides.
Even before the first probe of
the surface is made, there will be
close scanning of lunar features.
The USGS has been assigned the
task of mapping the moon in be
half of the National Aeronautics
and Space Adminstration.
It will be the task of the prob
ers to learn as much as possible
about the moon before the first
manned landing is made, speak
ers noted.
In volcanic features of Central
Oregon, astrogeologists believe
they have found some similar to
those seen on the moon, through
use of telescopes.
Lunar scientists are not in
agreement as to whether lunar
craters were formed by meteor
impact or volcanic explosions, or
impacts from such explosions.
Accompanying the federal geo
logists to Bend were Hollis Dole,
director of the Oregon State De
partment of Geology and Mineral
Industries, and members of his
staff.

On Monday, the borate - laden
plane was readied for a flight to
the timbered country just east of
Mt. St. Helens in Washington,
when a fire flared on the Gifford
Pinchot forest The call for the
plane was cancelled later in the
afternoon.
Warm weather that boosted the
mercury in Bend Monday to the
highest point of the year, 81 de

Showdown on Civil Defense
delayed, James out of town
By Ha S. Grant
Bulletin Staff Writer
The showdown on Civil Defense
failed to materialize, at last
night's meeting of the county bud
get board. The director, William
C. James, was not present, and
it was known in advance that he
would not be there. He left yester
day for Salem, where today he
was to assist in setting up the fis
cal year Civil Defense program
for the few remaining counties
still participating.
Figures that James prepared
for presentation at the meeting
were not very enlightening. They
were a repetition of those appear
ing on the budget work sheets,
except that federal and city funds
were included. The federal match
ing plan had been explained by
James orally, at last week's meet
ing. No inventory of Civil Defense
properties, and purchases made
by county and city governments
through the program, was pre
sented. Such a listing was request
ed at last week's meeting.
No Explanation
Neither was there any explana
tion of the $10,125 for Civil De
fense in the non-tax funds. This
amount doesn't coincide with any
thing. This is some $3890 more
than the amounts appearing in the
budget from federal and city
sources.
The breakdown shows a total
budget of $12,635.60, including fed
eral and city funds, for the fiscal
year from July 1, 1962, to June
30, 1963. Of that amount, $6,513.86 check is written and returned.
had been expended in the first six
months.
The director's annual salary is
$5,400. He gets $2500 from the
county, $200 from the City of Bend
and $2700 matching money from
the federal government His coun
ty travel fund of $650 is also
matched by federal funds, for an
other $1,300.
Show Progress
The theory of "participating"
programs is that they must show
progress, in order to continue to
get the federal money. This
means that they must keep get
ting bigger and bigger. Conse
quently, James has asked lor an
increase of $525 in county money,
for 1963-64, for federal matching.
Three hundred dollars is asked
for the county's share of the sal
ary. Matched by federal funds,
this would raise his pay to $6000.
In this year's budget, county al
lowances of $200 for office sup
plies, $250 for office equipment
and $125 for telephone, with the
federal matching funds, come to
$400, $500 and $250.
The salary of the director's sec
retary does not show at all in the
county budget She gets $3,110.90,
half from the city of Bend and
half from federal fundi. The
method of paying this Is another
ridiculous bit of bureaucracy. The
city makes out a draft, and the
countv clerk a similar one, to be
drawn on the federal funds. Both
of these are sent to the state Civil
Defense headquarters, where the
The secretary is a civil service
employe, you see.
Not Exactly Cricket
It was not exactly cricket to at
tack the program with the direc
tor absent. But one man, in a
round-about way, was there to de
fend it He is Dale Tussing, a re
tired county road employe and an
amateur radio buff. He said that
James is a good man a little
green when he started, but a fast
learner.
Tussing is prepared for
emergency, whether anyone eise
is or not. He has a supply oi ary
rations to last a month and a
half, in a tin box, and he is pre
pared to load his gear and wafers
in his automobile, speea io la

from Civil Defense.
Tussing almost lost the battle
hv over-illustrating. He doesn't
like the interference of the Na
tional Guard. He doesn't like the
attitude of the legislature. He
doesn't like the attitude of anyone
who questions the effectiveness of
Civil Defense.
"That legislature just wants to
turn the job over to us." he said,
referring to the radio hams. And
in a real emergency, he coniiaea,
the hams might be tempted to run
for a cave, just like everyone else.
Visitors back
Bend band at
budget hearing
By Gerald Drapeau
Bulletin Staff Writer
Half a dozen visitors appeared
at last night's city budget meet
ing to plead continued budget sup
port for the municipal band, even
though that item received tenta
tive approval in a tie-breaking
vote last week. '
Among visitors were Dr. Rob
ert L. Bristol, representing the
Chamber of Commerce, and Wil
liam J. Baer, of 974 Riverside. In
urging continued financing, Dr.
Bristol termed the band "a mat
ter of legitimate civic pride," and
remarked that the Chamber was
wholly backing its support. Baer
told the board the band is respon
sible for aiding a sense of spirit
to the city.
In other budget areas, a major
ity vote killed a motion to defer
action on a proposed $23,367 ap
propriation in next year's street
improvements program. This sum
is for street projects financed
jointly by city, county and abut
ting property owners. One objec
tion to the figure was that it was
more than the City needed for
jointly-financed projects sched
uled in the 1063-64 year.
One new addition to the recrea
tion department budget is a $500
item approved tentatively last
night. It will provide materials
for projects undertaken by boys in
the department's corrective pro
gram. Newly instituted last year,
the program endeavors to steer
the energies of delinquent boys
into constructive channels.
Also given tentative approval
was a $3B,ooo street aeparunera.

Three nrooosed projects the re
surfacing of Bond Street, several
new paving projects, ana t n e
right-of-way acquisition of E. Re

Streets are responsible for the
increase.
Other tentative approvals were
$26,000 in the parking meter de
partment, down from last year's
$29,500 and $96,446 in the state
tax street fund, up from $94,779.03

Turkey puts
down revoli,
seven aeaa
ANKARA. Turkey (UPI)
Forces loyal to President Cemal
Gursel today crushed a military
revolt in Turkey's two main cities
which left at least seven deaa ana
28 wounded.
Gursel told the nation that the
seven-hour revolt "by a few ad
venturers" was defeated early
tills morning, but it was noon be
fore government troops rounded
up the last of the rebels, Including
their leader, former Army Col.
Talat Aydemlr.
The government later aeciarea
martial law in Istanbul, Ankara
and Izmir for a period of one
month.
Gursel. staunchly pro-Weslem
leader whose nation borders Rus
sia and is a member of bow uie
NATO and CENTO military al
liances, used his armor, infantry,
and air force to defeat Aydcmir
after the rebels seized control ot
Ankara's radio station shortly alt
er midnight and used it to broad'
rarf nnlimvcrnment statements.
At the same lime, regular
trnoiw easily repulsed an attempt
by about 100 retired officers who
donned their umlorms ana inea
to seize Istanbul's radio station.
Military cadets who rallied to
Aydemir's side sought refuge tn
buildings after being beaten back.
But the government forced them
to surrender by dropping smoke
bombs in the area. One bomb set
fire to a house. Machine guns also
were used in the operation.
Fighting took place around An
kara's radio station, the Defense
Ministry, and the Presidential
Palace.
Although there are a number ol

The vote on final passage wae
still to come. If it failed, the
minority then planned another
try to get the constitution back
to committee.
Another Alternative
Another alternative was for the
Senate to pass it and-send It to a
House-Senate conlerence cornmiir
tee where changes could be mads.
Each side denied charges lt wae
"bluffing." - - .
The minority bloc said the ap
portionment section In the "Con
stitution for Oregon's Future"
would . take the! state backward
more than a century. ' .'.:.;
Debate opened on the Senate
floor on a move headed by Sens.
Don Willner, D-Portland, and Glen
Stadler, D-Eugene, to delete the
"Yturri plan now In the docu
ment and substitute a plan simi
lar to Oregon's present one.
Willner said the plan of Sen.
Anthony Yturri, R-Ontarlo, would
be less fair per voter than the
plan the present constitution start
ed out with 106 years ago.
The constitution since has been
amended. Its present plan was
approved a decade ago.
Flexibility Sought
The Willner plan would keep
the present plan except for mak
ing sizes of the House and Senate
flexible.
The debate centered on varying
interpretations of the Yturri plan.
Willner called it ambiguous, and
said it contained a mandate to
give preference to the least popu
lous counties.
He said its population formula
was such that there wouia be
more and more disproportion
and malproportion as the decades
goby."
Yturri replied there has been
a ercat deal of misunderstand
ing and misrepresentation" about
his plan.
He said it " bears no resem
blance" to the plan defeated by
voters last November that would
have taken land area into ac
count
Other Move Considered
If the Willner-Stadler move to
substitute their plan failed, they
planned to try to defeat the docu
ment in order to get it sent back
to committee. It would take a
two-thirds vote of the Senate 20
of its 30 members to pass.
Then it would have to go back to
the House and probably to a con
ference committee to resolve dif
ferences. The old, classic issue of how to
divide legislative seats among
Oregon's 36 counties cast the
heaviest cloud so far over chances
the document would reach the
people next year.
When the constitution passed
the House earlier this month it
contained Oregon's present legis
lative apportionment plan.
The Senate committee, bow
ever, substituted the "Yturri
plan," which would make sizes
of the House and Senate flexible,
up to 65 and 35 members. It
would erant a sector or repre
sentative for each population re
quirement in a county, plus one
for leftover population equalling
more than half the requirement
Counties without the require
ment for a first legislator, how
ever, would be able to pool "mi
nor fractions" (less than half the
requirement) to get one, white
minor fractions would be ignored
for counties having at least one
senator and representative.
