Bro enn. associate cdilor of The Bui letin in Bend and chairman of the Oregon Geographic Names Bo;ird. He was named by the Camp Han cock staff to deliver the annual "sermon on the mount" a talk from a high knoll overlooking Camp Hancock and the John Day basin. Introduced by Kenneth Word, director of the science camp that was established in 1951, lirogan touched on the geologic story of I the area, then told the half hun ' dred youngsters who made the hike to the high mount that the basin not only serves as a line , museum holding fossils of mam mals and plants of the entire tor tiary column, but that it has many other attractions for the youns students.

Camp Hancock, it was noted, is a "time island" in Oregon: "Slow" time is used, making it possible for youngsters to enjoy astronomy classes in the early darkness, which envelopes the val ley around 9 p.m., PST. Brogan also told the students that the area holds much history and noted that it was just 100 years ago when the first settlers moved into the region, while In dians were still following ances tral trails. The Camp Hancock students, most of them from the Portland area, joined in a campout on Monday night this week, in the Painted Hills country near Mitch ell. Geology of the old sea beds near Mitchell was studied. Each year, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry sponsored camp arranges for three sessions at Camp Hancock. Each session lasts two weeks. Enrollment for each period is set for 48. The camp will end in early August. Camp "mother" and head of the commissary Is Mrs. Lon Han cock.

Morse upholds project of finding use for station WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., lashed out Monday at newspaper criticism ot his role in finding a use for the abandoned Tongue Point Naval Station, and he said the low bids submitted for the property recent ly make it more important that a federal use be found for the site. But Morse emphasized that if the federal government decides it does not want to use the base, he will "do everything I can" to- help Oregon business interests ob tain the property for private in dustrial development. Morse earlier this year de cribed a plan by the city of As toria to buy the property for $920,000 and resell it to a private industrial corporation for $950,000 as a "steal." In a Senate statement Monday, he quoted the administrator of the General Services Administration as saying the GSA could not abuse its negotiating authority by taking part in such a deal. Morse castigated the Portland Oregonian "and similar newspa pers suffering from moral myo pia," for criticizing him after he came out against the plan. The GSA then put the naval sta tion site up for bids June 24, with the understanding that it would not be sold at least until Septem ber. Only six bids were received on the various parcels, and none on ( r-V out (of touch) 4. the entire base. The GSA has not yet acted on them. Just a few days ago, the Pres ident assured me again that a most thorough survey of possible federal uses of the Tongue Point property is being made by fed eral officials," the Oregon Demo crat said. Government use would un doubtedly provide the state with the greatest amount of economic return in the form ot jobs and economic expansion in the Astoria area. PREDICTS WEATHER WASHINGTON (UPI) The weather bureau forecasts below normal or normal temperatures for most of the eastern half of the nation during the next 30 days. The bureau predicts below nor mal temperatures for the Pacific Northwest and northern Rocky Mountain states, and above nor mal in the southwest central plains and upper Great Lakes. Subnormal rainfall was fore cast for the southwestern states and the upper Great Lakes and east Gulf states. Above normal rainfall is expected in the North west and from the Appalachian Mountains to the Atlantic Coast. Elsewhere, rainfall will be near normal, the bureau said. tKi., .''.At v " 3 ' rl i 1 -i i t (, e t. A , , ' ' v' , , ; r " . k ,f " i.. ' f ' , ' v' ' ' ' Wallace says Kennedy should be retired, his program defeated By John Herbers UPI Staff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) Ala bama Gov. George C. Wallace told Congress today that Presi dent Kennedy should be "retired from public life" and his civil rights program defeated. He said the legislation is totally unacceptable to the South and called for a national referendum on the proposals. If a referen dum was held, Wallace said the civil rights bill would be over whelmingly rejected. The fiery Southern Democrat, testifying before the Senate Com merce Committee, accused Ken nedy of making his White House office a "virtual switchboard" of communication with the Rev. Martin Luther King and other Negro leaders who were involved in the Birmingham racial dem onstrations. Joins With Barnett Wallace joined Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett in accusing King of i friends having "pro-Communist and associates." He urged the committee to investigate the matter, which he noted now had been raised by "at least two governors." Barnett testified similarly before the committee Friday. Chairman Warren Magnuson, D-Wash., told Wallace such an in vestigation was a task for other committees which have been ac tive in inquiries about Commu nist activity. Sen. E. L. Bartlctt, D-Alaska, followed Wallace's Communist charges by saying there was evidence that Arkansas Gov. Or ville Faubus once was a student leader at a school that was put on the attorney general's list of Communist- dominated organiza tions. 'What would you say if I could prove that a Southern gov ernor was a student leader at a Communist school?" Bartlett asked. But he questioned if this meant Communists . supported racial segregation. Wallace replied, "Faubus is no Communist." Bartlett agreed, but he explained he only brought it up to see if the same logic applied in "the other direction." Bartlett said he had been given information that Faubus was a student leader in Commonwealth College, Mena, Ark., listed by the Code Septic, Oil & Water STEEL TANKS All Sizes Call 382-5601 UNION OIL CO. 303 Scott St. Bend - Justice Department as subversive. The Alaska senator told reort ers later that he knew nothing more about tile matter. "I just got this flash given to me," he said "there has been a lot of silly things said about commu nism here. I just thought I'd toss this one out." Wallace rolled out charge after charge against the Kennedy ad ministration. "A President who sponsors leg islation such as the civil rights act of 19H3 should be retired from public life," Wallace said. "And this goes for any governor or public official who has joined in this mad scramble for the minority-bloc vote." Charges Political Plot Wallace said that the President and his brother, Atty. Gen. Rob ert F. Kennedy, "by design and nnlitiral motivation are sponsor ing and fostering a complete and all-inclusive change in our whole concent of government and so- , ciety a revolution of government against the people.' Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney. D Okla., said a charge by Wallace that the President was abetting racial violence by his public statements is "hard to believe" because the President had ap pealed for law and order. But Wallace insisted that the Bir mingham situation was "in flamed all over again" because, he said. Kennedy told a nation wide television audience B i r mingham Negroes had been "abused" for a long time. ... and you're in carpet heaven at furniture co. 821 Wall 382-4291 o, HIT " i I I
