The Chief Executive's avowed
ly "non-political" five-day jour
ney across the continent started
with a salute in Pennsylvania to
the Republican father of the con
servation movement, G if ford Pin
chot. Kennedy's tour also will take
him to nine north-central and
western states where Democratic
senators running for re-election in
1964 have invited him to share in
the reflected glories of local nat
ural wonders.
In his initial speech the Presi
dent gave his administration
credit for increasing "the pace of
resource development and conser
vation in a variety of ways" since
taking office in 1961.
"I begin today a journey to
save America's natural heritage
a journey to preserve the past
and protect the future," Kennedy
said at the outset of remarks pre
pared for delivery here at his
first speechmaking way-station.
Dedicates Institute
The President scheduled the
stop to dedicate the 83-ycar-old
"Grey Towers," the ancestral
Pinchot home, as the Pinchot In
stitute for Conservation Studies.
Pinchot, twice governor of Penn
sylvania, served under President
Theodore Roosevelt as the first
chief of the U.S. Forest Service
and was one of America's most
renowned conservationists.
Pan Am jet
hit by fire
at Saigon
SAIGON. South Vict Nam (UPI)
Pan American Airways Boe
ing 707 jetliner with 78 persons
aboard was hit by ground fire
on its final approach to Saigon
Airport today.
One engine was pierced by a
single bullet, but the plane land
ed safely on three engines. No
one was injured.
The huge airliner was on a
regular run from Jakarta and
Singapore with 68 passengers and
10 crew members when it was
hit by the ground fire.
It was the first time a com
mercial aiiliner using Saigon Air
port has been hit by Communist
fire, although military aircraft
using the airfield have been hit
occasionally.
The incident was first reported
by military sources and later
confirmed by Pan American offi
cials. (Pan American officials in New
York also confirmed the incident.
A spokesman for Pan Am in
New York said the engine had
been repaired on the ground and
the plane continued on to Man
ila.) The incident occurred as Sec
retary of Defense Robert S. Mc
Namara and Gen. Maxwell Tay
lor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, were en route to Saigon
on a fact-finding mission for Presi
dent Kennedy.
Pan Am officials here gave
this account of the shooting:
The airliner was about six
miles from the airport at about
1.000 feet when the pilots noticed
they had suddenly lost all oil
pressure in the right inboard en
gine. The engine was shut off im
mediately, and the plane landed
without mishap.
An inspection of the plane after
it landed revealed that a single
bullet, believed to be a .30-cali-ber,
had pierced the engine cow
ling, severing three oil tubes.
The incident against the jet
liner came only a day after Com
munist saboteurs infiltrated the
key air base at Nhatrang, 200
miles north of Saigon, and blew
up two Vietnamese C47 transport
planes.
The airfield, which is used by
U. S. troops training Vietnamese
soldiers, is held under tight se
curity guard. This was the first
time the Reds had succeeded in
penetrating the security ring to
sabotage parked aircraft at a
military airfield, military sources
said. The Communists escaped.
Both plane? were heavily dam
aged, but no one was reported
injured.
Secretary McXamara and Gen.
Taylor were sent here by Presi
dent Kennedy to find out if South
Viet Nam's dispute with the Bud
dhists is harming its efforts to
defeat the Communists.

"He was a practical idealist,"
Kennedy said, "believing that the
riches of the American continent
should produce for all its people
an abundant life believing that
waste of our resources, or their
monopolistic control, was an of
fense which threatened the very
existence of democratic society...
"Above all, he was a gifted,
driving administrator, transform
ing a minor federal bureau into
a dynamic, purposeful agent of
national policy."
Family Deeds Estate
Pennsylvania's Republican Gov
ernor William Scranton was
among dignitaries listed for at
tendance at the ceremony mark
ing the deeding of Grey Towers
and its 100 acres of grounds to
the federal government by the
Pinchot family.
So were Interior Secretary Ste
wart Udall, scheduled to accom
pany Kennedy on the entire trip,
and Agriculture Secretary Orville
Freeman, who planned to travel
along to Duluth, Minn., tonight
for Kennedy's speech at a "land
and people's" conference spon
sored by the Agriculture Depart
ment. Between Milford and Duluth one
other stop was scheduled at
Ashland, Wis., where Kennedy
planned an airport speech in con
junction with a presidential heli
copter flight! over the nearby
Apostle Islands in Lake Superior.
Senators On Plan
Democratic senators from each
state involved were on the pas
senger list for Kennedy's "Air
Force One" jet transport: Joseph
S. Clark, Pa.: Hubert Humphrey
and Eugene McCarthy, Minn, and
Gaylord Nelson, Wis., who par
ticularly wanted Kennedy to see
the possibilities of the Apostle Is
lands as a federal park area.
In the next four days, Ken
nedy's itinerary will take him to
North Dakota, Wyoming, Mon
tana, Washington State, Utah,
Oregon, California and Nevada.
Sounding a theme for his trav
els in his Milford speech, Ken
nedy listed at length a series of
efforts he said his administration
began in 1961 "to increase the
pace of resource development
and conservation in a variety of
ways." But he said all of this
was "still small in comparison
with what could be done."
"Today we have millions of
idle acres in America," he said,
"millions of acres in need of re
forestation, millions of acres of
range in need of renewal, mil
lions of miles of streams to be
saved from siltation and pollu
tion, thousands of miles of high
ways defaced with' litter.
"At the same time, we have
millions of idle youth, who need
work to absorb their talents,
their skills, and their energies.
This nation cannot afford either
idle acres or idle youth: and our
proposed bill for youth conserva
tion can merge these forces of
idleness into forces of construc
tive power."

MOSCOW (UPI) The Com
munist party newspaper Pravda
indicated today that the Kremlin,
confident of the backing of most
of the world's Communists, may
call an international summit
meeting to debate the Sino-Soviet
split.
Pravda today printed a long
statement by the tiny Portuguese
Communist party calling for such
a Communist summit. Such state
ments are often published here as
"trial balloons" while the Soviets
decide whether to adopt or dis
card them as official policy.

French leader
ORANGE France (UPI) -President
Charles de Gaulle ar
rived in this ancient Roman city
under tight security guard today
for a top secret trip to see
France's growing nuclear force.
It was the first stage of the
President's personal appearance
campaign to drum up support for
his government's save-the-franc
austerity program.
Defying calls by the outlawed
Secret Army Organization (OAS)
for a boycott of his tour, De
Gaulle took off for Orange in
Southern France by presidential
Caravelle jet transport from Orly
Airport.
He was spending the first day
on a top secret visit to the atomic
installations at nearby Pierrelatte
and Cadarache.
Newsmen covering his tour were
not to be allowed to accompany
him to the two nuclear plants.
It was De Gaulle's 20th provin
cial swing since he returned to
power in 1958. He was expected
to make 18 whistle-stop speeches,
climaxed by one major one at
Lyon Sunday calling for massive
popular support for the govern
ment's economy program which
was announced Sept. 8.
Rusk delivers
stern warning
to Indonesians
NEW YORK (UPI) Secre
tary of State Dean Rusk today
warned Indonesia that continued
trouble in that area over creation
of the new nation of Malaysia
would be against the interests of
the Jakarta government.
This was understood to have
been the principal point made by
the secretary during a 30-minute
conference with Indonesian For
eign Minister Subandrio.
The implication was that In
donesia could expect no more
U. S. economic aid until it peace
fully settles its difficulties with
the new country.
Rusk was said to have express
ed the strong interest of the Unit
ed States in the prompt normali
zation of the situation in the South
west Pacific, where Indonesian
resentment against the creation
of the new member of the Com
monwealth has parked anti-British
rioting, burning and looting.
Official sources said Subandrio
was unable to give Rusk the as
surances the United States was
seeking concerning Indonesia's
future course in the Malaysian
dispute. Subandrio pleaded ignor
ance, saying he had been out of
touch with affairs at home. He
told the secretary he planned to
leave this afternoon for Jakarta
and would keep in touch with the
U. S. government after he reached
his capital.
Charge against
Negro studied
OXFORD, Miss. (UPI) The
Student Judicial Council of the
University of Mississippi meets
today to consider a charge of
carrying a concealed weapon
against the school's only Negro
student.
"It seems to be a serious of
fense," said council head Champ
Terncy, son-in-law of Sen. James
Eastland, D-Miss., but he would
not speculate whether the charge
would result in the expulsion of
Cleve McDowell.
McDowell, 21, was suspended
by the university Monday, a few
hours after Sheriff Joe Ford
jailed him on the charge. The Ju
dicial Council can only make rec
ommendations to the universi
ty but such suggestions rarely
are rejected by the administra
tion. McDowell will be invited to ap
pear at the bearinff. Ha was ex

Heavy use seen
in last weekend
for Cove Park
By Phil F. Brogan
Bulletin Staff Writer
The "old orchard" in Cove Pal
isades State Park, under the long
evening shadows of the "Island"
these early fall days, is being pre
pared for heavy use this Satur
day and Sunday.
It will be the final weekend of
the area as a camp site.
On October 1, the park will be
closed, clearing the way for the
removal of facilities in advance
of water backing up behind the
Round Butte Dam which will cov
er the present camp areas to a
depth of about 200 feet.
Bids for the construction of new
day and night camping sites will
be received by the Oregon State
Highway Commission on October
8. This will be the second call for
bids. All of the first bids receiv
ed were well above the $350,000
availablo for the work, and were
rejected.
Portland General Electric will
pay the cost of the developing of
the new sites.
The coming weekend is expect
ed to be a time of heavy visita
tion to the park, especially by old
timers who recall the area when
the site was known as the "fruit
basket of Central Oregon."
Even this past weekend, Louis
Hope, supervisor of the park re
ports, there was heavy use of the
park. Persons planning on visiting
the park over the weekend are
advised that they will find the
road somewhat rough in the
areas below the high watcrline of
the lake that will soon form there.
But all camping facilities will
be available until the end of the
month.
Members of the park area staff
are already busy getting things in
shape for the evacuation of the
area, from which buildings and
other facilities will be removed.

Kennedy scores major
legislative victory,
single senator absent
By William Theis
UPI Staff Writer
WASHINGTON (UPI) In a
historic action, the Senate today
ratified the treaty with Rus
sia banning nuclear tests in the
atmosphere, outer space and un
der water. President Kennedy
called it a single but "substan
tial" step toward peace.
All but one of the 100 senators
tlio ailing Sen. Clair Engle, D
Calif. were on hand for the 80-19
roll call vote. The margin was 14
votes more than the required two
thirds majority.
The pact does permit under
ground testing and the adminis
tration has pledged to push
ahead in this area to maintain
what experts consider the present
U.S. atomic lead over the Soviet
Union.
Senate galleries were jammed
as the Senate started its roll call
at 10:30 a.m. EDT to climax
weeks of debate featuring untold
thousands of words on the agree
ment reached between the United
States, Britain and Russia after
prolonged negotiation.
On the showdown, 55 Demo
crats joined 25 Republicans in
I voting for the treaty. Opposed
i were 11 Democrats and 8 Repub
licans. -
Victory For Kennedy
Ratification of the pact was ex
pected and it was a diplomatic
if not a direct political victory
for Kennedy who had argued
that rejection of the pact, despite
its limited nature, would be a
step backward in the quest for
peace.
The only surprise on the roll
call was provided by Son. Mar
garet Chase Smith who kept her
stand in doubt throughout the
long debate and wound up voting
against the treaty.
Mrs. Smith suid in a statement
that her "troubled vote" was one
of the most difficult she had
faced in 23 years in Congress.
The jeopardy the treaty im
poses on our national security is
more compelling argument
against the treaty than the politi
cal and psychological disadvan
tages that would stem from re
jection of the treaty," she said.
Goldwater Votes No
Sen. Barry Goldwater, Ariz.,
the front-runner for the Republi
can presidential nomination in
public opinion polls, carried
through his vow to vote against
the treaty even if in his words
it meant "political suicide."
Just before final action, Dem
ocratic congressional leaders
conferred with the President, at
tlie White House. Senate Demo
cratic Leader Mike Mansfield,
Mont., told reporters "the Presi
dent expressed his delight
with this single but substantial
step toward peace."
Significantly, the treaty carried
no U.S. reservations or "under
standings" which might jeopar
dize ratification by other coun
tries. All such proposals were re
jected. The only addition made by the
Senate was a procedural one,
adding a preamble to the ratifi
cation resolution restating the
Senate's constitutional right to ap
prove future treaty amendments.
Oppose Reluctantly
Senators who voted against the
treaty did so largely with de
clared reluctance but with em
phasis on their distrust of Russia.
They argued that it was ambigu
ous, too hastily agreed to, and
carried too great a military haz
ard to U.S. security.
Those who supported It in the
11 days of floor debate and more
than two weeks of public hearings
agreed with top administration of-
cials that the risks were "accept
able." They insisted that the hope
it offered for avoiding nuclear
holocaust could not be rejected,
Some confessed they voted
"yes" reluctantly, but felt they
had no choice.
At the insistence of senators,
Kennedy gave the lawmakers
written "assurances" that safe
guards to protect U.S. security
would be maintained and advanced.
No. 246
vote
The President made it clear his
right to use nuclear weapons in
time of conflict would not be Im
paired. He cautioned that the
treaty's rejection might harm
U.S. leadership in the world.
Many Nations Sign
More than 100 nations have
signed the limited test ban treaty.
The treaty was hailed as a
"first step" toward ending the
arms race, and U.S. ratification
was expected to touch off signs
of "second step" tension-easing
moves by the Soviet Union. But
even the most ardent treaty sup
porters warned against any quick
follow-up action in the disarma
ment field.
Senate opposition to the treaty
sprang from the core of senior
southern leaders on military af
fairs. Chairman Richard B. Rus
sell, D-Ga., of the armed services
committee, and chairman John
Stcnnis, D-Miss., of the prepared
ness subcommittee made early
declarations against the pact
Seven southern Democrats and
one southern Republican, John
Tower of Texas, lined up with
them even before the vote. But
the 12 other southerners, includ
ing four major committee chair
men, supported tlie President. . '
Withdrawal Provision
At the insistence of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, the treaty includ
ed a liberal withdrawal provision.
It permits the United States or
any government to withdraw
from the pact if it decides that
extraordinary events related to
the treaty have jeopardized its
supreme interests. This allows a
nation to pull out if any country
tests clandestinely or conducts
nuclear experiments considered
harmful to its security.
Although there is a stated
three-month withdrawal notice.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
testified that tho United States
would drop out immediately if
Russia abrogated the treaty or
began testing in any prohibited
area.
Amendments to the treaty must
be approved by a majority of all
the parties with the United
States, Britain and Russia each
having a veto. An amending con
ference may be called, If one
third of the signatory countries
desire, but is not necessary.
Rusk also made it clear that
this country would not have to
give diplomatic recognition to a
Communist government like that
of East Germany if it approved
the test ban treaty. East Germany
signed the pact
With the Senate vote of "con
sent," the formal ratification by
tlie executive branch is the next
and formal step.
