Venezuelan dictator Marcos Perez
Jimenez, 49, lost an 11th hour
legal battle against extradition to
day and was flown to his home
land to face charges he looted
the national treasury of S13.5 mil
lion. Two last-minute appeals, to the
Supreme Court in Washington and
In state courts in Florida, failed
to delay the hour that Perez had
fought with all his millions lor

A white Avensa airliner took off
from the Miami International Air
port bound for Caracas where
Perez must stand trial.
His attorneys argued that his
return meant "certain death."
The final attempts to stay the
extradition through state courts
delayed the formal delivery of
Perez to Venezuelan authorities
for more than 45 minutes.

Special to The Bulletin
PRINEVILLE Prineville was
back in contact with outside points
last night, after being isolated all
afternoon and part of the evening,
as the result of a fire that de
stroyed a business building and
disabled telephone communica
tion. The interior of the Kresse Motor
Co. building at Second and Bea
ver Streets, owned by Harry F.
Severance, was reduced to rub
ble. Several automobiles, there for
repairs, were destroyed. There
was no estimate today of the
damage, but it was reported that
the building and contents are
covered by insurance.
Cables from the adjacent build
ing occupied by Pacific Northwest
Bell ceased to function when a
pole beside the Kresse building
burned. About half the local lines
and all long-distance ones were
out. Part of the service was re
stored around noon yesterday,
and by 6 p.m., most long-distance
tolls were in operation.
Telephone service was expect
ed to be back to normal by noon
today. Cable splicers and other
technicians, many flown to Prine
ville by the telephone company,
worked through the night, under
brilliant flood lights.
Repairmen came from Port
land, Pendleton, The Dalles and
other points, with R. W. Cook,
Pendleton, district plant manager,
in charge. Fourteen men were
brought from Bend.
The fire affected 1400 local sta
tions, with the towns of Mitchell,
Spray and Paulina completely
without service for a time. Es
sential services were the first re
stored.
The flash fire started in the gar
age, where a welder was working.
A spark from the welding equip
ment was believed to have ig
nited a gas tank, and flames
spread at a furious pace.
Flames leaping high in the air
were visible from outlying resi
dential areas and a vast column
of smoke poured skyward with
in moments after the fire alarm
sounded. The fire in the concrete
block structure burned with such
intensity that it held firemen at
bay in the streets for nearly half
an hour.
Walter Kresse. owner of the bus
iness, said that employes had
been able to remove three new
cars on the showroom floor and
several other vehicles. Four cars
in the garage could not be moved,
according to a mechanic.
Joint control
plan reported
by Pearson
OTTAWA (UPI) Prime Min
ister Lester B. Pearson today an
nounced an agreement with the
United States to give Canada nu
clear warheads under "joint con
trol" with "satisfactory" protec
tion for Canada's national inter
ests.
Pearson announced the general
terms of the warheads agree
ment in a prepared statement.
He and External Affairs Minis
ter Paul Martin planned
to elaborate on it at a news con
ference.
On the Important subject of con
trol, he said the warheads would
remain In U. S. custody after the
stockpiles are established for Bo-
marc missile bases and voodoo
interceptors in Canada, and Hon
est John artillery rockets and
Starfighter strike - reconnaissance
aircraft under NATO control in
Europe.
Provision was made lor tne
most strineent safety measures"
at all times, he said, and
the warheads cannot be used "op
erationally without the authoriza
tion ot the Canadian govern
ment."
"Joint control is thus assured,"
he said.
He said small units of United
States custodial personnel will be
stationed at the Canadian storage
sites, but the bases themselves
"will of - course remain under
Canadian command and control."
With custody remaining with
the U. S.. the arrangement "does
not add to the number of gov
ernments having nuclear weap
ons at their Independent dispos
al," Pearson said.
These arrangements "satisfac
torily protect Canada s national
interests and conform with the
position Canada has taken inter
nationally on the non-dissemina
tion of nuclear weapons, ne saia.

time around, Central Oregon Dis
trict Hospital's $390,000 bond pro
posal was approved Thursday by
a margin of 186 votes. Yes votes
numbered 520; no's, 334.
The 854 who cast their ballots

That position had been previously

Shoop & Schuize
A safe thief got into the Shoop

early this morning and made off
with nearly $150 in cash plus a
$20 check.
The prowler gained entrance
through a sliding door at the south
side by loosening the inside hasp
screws with a wrecking bar or

neither the combination dial nor

he oressed the release button.
MrKinlev brought himself to the
hospital by car. No report of his
condition was immediately avail
able.
Goldwater told newsmen, how
ever, that he had yet to sense
"any enthusiasm for the treaty"
by military leaders. "I just don't
think the military has their heart
in this," he said.
In connection with military lead
ers' views on a test ban, Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk was
questioned at a news conference
today whether there still were dif
ferences within the administration
whereby the chiefs were opposed
to a complete test ban.
This would prohibit underground
tests as well as those in the air,
space and underwater as con
tained in the partial treaty.
Rusk replied that he felt Presi
dent Kennedy had resolved this
dispute in favor of a policy of
striving for an overall ban. But
Rusk saw little chance of any im
minent agreement by Russia to
this because of Soviet resistance
to Western insistence for on-site
inspection to assure compliance
with a pact to ban below-ground
tests.
While LeMay testified before
the preparedness subcommittee,
John A. McCone. director of Cen
tral Intelligence (CIA) also ap
peared for closed testimony be
fore three other Senate groups
conducting hearings on the treaty.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee heard McCone with
senators from the armed services
committee and the Joint Atom
Energy Committee sitting in.
Prior to McCone's testimony,
chairmen of all three committees
assessed the testimony to date as
effective and persuasive. Their
comments suggested that the
treaty has gained Senate strength
in the first week of hearings on
its ratification.
Chairman J. W. Fulbright, D-
Ark., of the Senate Foreign Re
lations Committee, said Taylor
and other administration witness
es "have presented a very effec-
tive case for the treaty" in the
hearings to date.
Chairman Richard B. Russell,
D-Ga., of the Armed Services
Committee, agreed in a separate
interview that "they make a very
strong case." Russell, who has
not committed himself to support
the treaty, said he was impressed
by the fact that Taylor and Sec
retary of State Dean Rusk can
didly "recognized the military
disadvantages" of t h e proposed
test ban and contended that those
Russians urged
to withdraw
trooDs in UuDa
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk said to
day Russia could make a "very
helpful contribution" to overall
improvement in U.S.-Soviet rela
tions by completely withdrawing
its military personel from Cuba.
Rusk did not appear, however,
to make this a condition for East
West talks to follow up the
limited nuclear test ban treaty
with other tension-easing agree
ments.
Rusk told a news conference he
had discussed the matter of Rus
sian troops in Cuba with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko
during recent Moscow test ban
talks and expressed continuing
U.S. concern.
The secretary declined to say
what Gromyko s reply was or
give any indication whether he
thought a reduction in Soviet
troops on the Communist island
is a possibility.
Rusk, In his first news confer
ence since the Moscow talks
which brought agreement on the
test ban, said he does not fore
see now prospects of any "across-
the-board" settlement of the
broad range of U.S.-Soviet dis
putes.
But he said his talks with the
Russians have led him to believe
it is now "worthwhile" to explore
disadvantages were outweighed with the Soviets soma isolated
by prospects of reduced world subjects on wnicn runner agree-
tensions. ments might be reached.

and at least 71 were arrested.
The demonstrators were picket-
ine a Union County courthouse
annex project. Some squatted in
the streets, others chained them
selves to trucks, to a police bar
ricade and to each other.
Police used wire cutters on the
chains and police director Wil
liam Mulkeen told the pickets,
You are endangering the uves
and limbs of the public and the
Police Department will not toler
ate it."
Those arrested were taken to
police headquarters in a fleet of
patrol cars.

Conservatives
win, but only
by small margin
STRATFORD- ON - AVON, Eng
land (UPD Prime Minister Har
old - Macmillan's Conservat i v e
party was rocked anew today by
the results of an election to fill the
parliamentary seat vacated by
disgraced War Minister John
Profumo.
The Conservative candid ate
won Thursday's by-election, but
the margin was so small the op
position claimed a moral vic
tory." The results appeared to
forecast further trouble for Mac
millan whose government was
nearly toppled last month by the
repercussions from the Profumo
scandal.
Conservative candidate Angus
Maude, a 50-year-old journalist,
was the victor as expected in this
Tory stronghold, but his majority
was so much less than his party s
margin in the last election that
the opposition Labor party
claimed a "moral victory."
Observers had regarded the
Stratford-On-Avon by-clcction the
toughest public test for Macmillan
since the Profumo scandal
shocked the nation earlier this
summer and nearly toppled his
Conservative government.
The observers had predicted
that a significant drop in the Con
servative majority compared to
Profumo's 14,129 margin in 1959
would indicate serious public con
cern over the scandal and would
spell grave problems for the
prime minister and his party.
An announcement at noon of
the results of Thursday's ballot
ing gave Maude 15,846 votes, fol
lowed by 12,376 lor Laoonte An
drew Faulds, 40. a bearded
Shakespearean actor. The 3,470
majority for Maude was far be
low that of former War Minister
Profumo in the 1959 general
election.
The Liberal party candidate,
Derick Mirfin, 33, was third with
7,622 votes.

Nations plan
limited space
cooperation
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
United States and Russia today
announced final approval of a
joint program of experiments
with weather and communication
satellites starting next year.
The two nations also agreed to
contribute satellite information to
a world magnetic survey to be
made in 1965.
The U.S.-Russia agreement for
limited cooperation in space was
reached at Geneva in June, 1962.
The program given final approval
today was worked out at Rome
last March and In Geneva in May.
The experiments with weatlier
satellites will result in the ex
change of information and cloud
pictures by means of a full time,
four-wire telecommunication link
between Washington and Moscow.
Early in 1964
This link is to be established
by early 1964 and probably will
jbe routed from Washington to
(Moscow by way of New York,
! London or Paris, Berlin and
Poland.
Both nations will launch satel
lites for use in the space weather
observation program.
The experiment in satellite
communications will be conducted
with an Echo II to be launched
this country In 1964. Echo U
will be a shiny 135 foot 'Sphere
which will be used as a banking
board for radio signals.,
Since Echo IL to be launched
in a near polar orbit, will not be
in line of sight the same time
between United States and Rus
sia, exchanges will be made with
the help of Great Britain's Jod
rell Bank Radioastronomy Ob
servatory at Manchester.
Jodrell Relay
Communications will be sent
from the United States to Jodrell
by cable or radio and Jodrell will
relay them to Russia by the Echo
II satellite. These experiments,
too, will begin next year.
The two nations will each
launch a special satellite equipped
to measure Uie earth's magnetic
field. This information will sup
plement various other ground, sea
and air measurements to be un
dertaken internationally during
the world magnetic survey to be
conducted in 1965.
Nehru says Communist China massing
for possible new attack against India
NEW DELHI, India (UPI)
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
said today that Communist Chi
nese troops were massing along
the border for a possible new at
tack on India.
Nehru said the strength of the
Chinese forces is greater than at
the time of the Communist inva
sion last October. He added the
Chinese were constructing new
gun emplacements, air strips,
storage dumps sjnd roads in the
region of the military buildup.
He told Parliament India must
intensify its defense preparations
to resist any further threat to its
territorial integrity.
Relations between India and
Communist China, the two biggest
powers of Asia, have been tense
since last autumn when armies
of the two countries battled along
their common border. The Indian
government charged the Peking
regime with outright invasion.
After several weeks of confron
tation, the fighting stopped and
Peking announced a ceasefire on
Nov. 21 and a withdrawal of its
forces back from the battle line,
starting Dec. 1.
While there has been no more
fighting, there have been frequent
infiltrations across the frontier.
Neutral attempts to negotiate a
settlement of the border dispute
have been unsuccessful.
Nehru, speaking in a parlia
mentary debate today on foreign
affairs, said "the strength of the
Chinese forces along our borders
today is larger than what it was
at the time of tht unprovoked
massive attack In October, 1962:
"Apart from this augmentation
of Chinese fosres, a further de
velopment has been the forward
movement of these troops to
camps and strong points nearer
the Indian border than they were
last October," he added.
Appeal issued
by Buddhists
SAIGON South Viet Nam (UPI)
South Viet Nam's Buddhists ap
pealed to President Kennedy and
other Free World leaders today
to intervene in the bloody dispute
with the government of President
Ngo Dinh Diem.
The appeal was contained in
cables filed at the government
post office in Saigon for trans
mission. It followed the fifth sui
cide by fire of a Buddhist priest
or nun to protest alleged govern
ment discrimination.
The latest fiery victim was a
71-year-old Buddhist priest in the
provincial city ot Hue, 400 muos
north of Saigon. He doused his
yellow robes with gasoline and set
fire to them with a match. Three
other Buddhist priests and a nun
have died similarly in recent
weeks.
