12 The Bulletin, Thursday, December 12, 1963 Lawmaker urges research center for Portland WASHINGTON (UPI) An Oregon delegation, lead by Rep. Edith Green, D-Ore., and Ro bert Short, vice .president of Portland General Electric Co., Wednesday urged the National Aeronautics and Space Admin istration (NASA) to locate a re search center In the Portland area. The delegation listed some of Oregon's technical and climatic advantages in an effort to have a $57 million electronic research complex in the state. Oregon's group was one of many such delegations bidding for the project which NASA said would eventually employ 2,100 to 2,700 persons. The projected center would occupy 1,100 acres. Short suggested a site in the Tualatin Vallev to NASA exam iner George Simpson. Dr. James Jensen, president of Oregon State University, pre sented a description of what he termed the "academic boule vard" which stretches from Se attle to San Diego and through the Willamette Valley. It would offer scientific personnel and laboratories for work related to space, he said. Dr. Jensen also described the proposed graduate research cen ter for the Portland area, a co operative effort by Oregon uni versities and Industry. It is now In the planning stage. He said Oregon education could offer much In the field of biology and examiner Simpson said biology could be "a sleep er" In the space program. Douglas Strain, president of Electro Scientific Industries, said some 6,000 persons are em ployed In the state's electronics oriented industries and would present "an adequate base to support a 2,100-employe opera tion," by NASA. He said more than 1,000 tech nicians are trained annually in Oregon but 800 leave the state to seek employment. U.tte weapons control urged OSLO, Norway UPI) Nobel Peaca Prize winner Dr. Linus C. Pauling urged Wednesday that the world's nuclear powers place their nuclear weapons under control of the United Nations. Pauling, a professor at Cali fornia Institute of Technology, was awarded the Peace Prize for 1962 In a ceremony here Tuesday. He outlined his pro posal in a lecture before the Nobel Institute. He said the United States, the Soviet Union, and smaller nu ciear powers should agree to a system under which they could use nuclear weapons only with the approval of the United Na tions. "Even a small step In the di rection of this proposal, national-International control, such as the acceptance of U.N. ob servers In the control stations of the nuclear powers, might decrease significantly the prob ability of nuclear war," he taid. n.fV l ' v" f 7 w THEODORE MATHIESON Author making home in Bend Writer plans to spend winter here Another name has been added to Bend's colony of authors.

Moving eulogies pay tribute to dead President WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate paid its special tribute Wednesday in six hours of mov ing eulogies to a slain colleague John F. Kennedy.

Ken nedy, D-Mass., closed the long day of formal commemorative speeches by urging that the na tion unite behind President Johnson to solve problems through reason, "not in vio lence."

Board created to head off airline strike WASHINGTON UPI)-In his first intervention to halt a strike. President Johnson has created an emergency board to head off a walkout that would have crippled six major airlines in the midst of the Christmas travel rush. On Johnson's order, the board was set up Wednesday to inves tigate a dispute between the machinists' union and Braniff, Continental, Eastern, North west, Trans World Airlines and National. The action will postpone a strike for at least 60 days while the board tries to solve the dis pute over pay raises and rule changes. The presidential order came with only minutes to spare. A National Mediation Board spokesman said a quickie walk out had been feared in 20 min utes at National Airlines, de spite a strike deadline of one minute after midnight Thurs day. Mechanics and ground crews on the other five airlines have voted for a strike, but set no deadline. The President's action, how ever still leaves the threat of walkout hanging over United Airlines. The strike is set tor 12:01 a.m. (local time) Dec. 19. At last report, a federal media tor trying to work out a settle ment said no progress had been made on an agreement. Johnson took his action under the Railway Labor Act. It was based on a recommendation from the national mediation board.

Any violation of the order may be brought to the attention of a federal court. The court then may Issue Injunctions to stop the violation.

Call 382-1811-TODAYI Dart shooting rifle developed by United States WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Defense Department is develop ing a rule that shoots darts in stead of bullets. A top Pentagon research ex pert said today the darts are only an inch long and about the thickness of a pencil lead, but are capable of inflicting a gap ing wound almost as severe as that caused by a dum-dum bul let. He explained that the darts have little fins that keep them stabilized in flight. But when they strike flesh, they lose their stability and turn end-over-end in the wound. The early results were ob tained in a project known as "Special Purpose Individual Weapon" (SPIW), announced by the Army last February. "The weapon could be used as both a rifle and a shoulder fired grenade launcher," the Army said. "Fully loaded, it is expected to weigh no more than the current M14 rifle and will significantly increase the effectiveness of the combat sol dier." The Army did not identify the nature of the ammunition. The defense expert who described the tiny darts indicated that much of the increase in effec tiveness would be due to the ex treme light weight of the proj ectiles as compared with regu lar ammunition. A soldier could carry thou sands of the darts, and could fire them either In separate rounds or in a single deadly stream, he said. The expert added that the new weapon would not replace the standard rifle, but could prove highly useful for anti- guerrilla purposes. Wesley Frazier freed on bail JOHN DAY (UPI)-Wesley E. Frazier of Culver is free on $1,000 bail after pleading inno cent to an involuntary man slaughter charge in Grant Coun ty Cricuit- Court. - Frazier was indicted by a grand jury in connection with the shooting of elk hunter San ford Roosevelt Nance, 51, of Portland Nov. 1. No date has been set for a trial. Castro says JFK re: brought Russian missiles WASHINGTON (UPI)- Fidel Castro has been quoted as say ing that a remark by President Kennedy convinced him and Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khru shchev that a U.S. invasion of Cuba was imminent and led them to place Russian missiles on the island. The White House said Wed nesday, however, that the late President stated at the time to Khrushchev's son-in-law, Alexei I. Adzhubei, that no U.S. inva sion was planned. Castro's re ference was to the talk Ken nedy had with Adzhubei, the editor of the newspaper Izves tia, in January 1962. Castro's statements were re ported by Jean Daniel, a French newsman who interviewed the Cuban premier shortly before the Nov. 22 assassination of Kennedy. Castro said Kennedy recalled for Adzhubei that the United States did not intervene when Russia put down the 1956 revolt in Hungary. According to Dan- FBI criticized by police chief of Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (UPI) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation Wednesday drew criticism from Los Angeles Police Chief Wil liam H. Parker for not bringing his department into the local search for kidnaped Frank Si natra Jr. "We have never faced this situation before in this city," Parker said during a news con ference. "This is the first time that we were faced with a problem where there was crim inal activity in the city of Los Angeles that was known to a law enforcement agency where we were not permitted to par ticipate." Parker repeatedly refused to brand the FBI as "uncoopera tive," but made it clear he was indignant over the handling of the case. He said he wanted the record straight so the pub lic would not blame the Los Angeles police for not taking action. The police chief said he did not believe "our policy would be the same" as the FBI's in letting the kidnapers escape with the ransom money. How ever, he said the life of Sinatra Jr. apparently was the "para mount consideration." iel, Castro said he and Khrush chev took this to mean that the United States planned a second invasion attempt against Cuba and did not expect Russia to intervene. White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger, who was among those present during the Adzhubei interview, said Wed nesday that was not the way it was at all. He said his notes showed no mention of Hungary, but an interpreter's notes showed that Kennedy "did use the world Hungary, but not in the context used by Castro." According , to Salinger, the President said the United States found the Cuban situa tion difficult. To show the im portance of the Cuban problem, Salinger said, Kennedy told Ad zhubei Russia should recall how important it considered Hun gary in 1956. The record of the conversation shows no talk about non-intervention, Salinger said. Kennedy and Adzhubei met again later that same day, Sal inger said. The interpreter's notes for that meeting showed that "the subject of Cuba did not come up." Daniel, who was with Castro when news of Kennedy's assas sination reached the Cuban pre mier, reported on his meeting in an article in the New Repub lic magazine. Castro said he wanted the world to know "the true story of the missile em placement." Oswald short of funds on his Mexican trip MEXICO CITY (UPI) - The weekly magazine Manana said today Lee H. Oswald, the al leged assassin" of President Kennedy, apparently was "short of funds", during his stay here in September. The magazine estimated that Oswald spent only about $26 during a brief stay in which he visited the Russian and Cuban embassies, ostensibly in an un successful effort to obtain visas for a trip to Russia by way of Cuba. Manana said Os.wa.ld came here by bus from Laredo, on the Texas border. He registered at the Comercio Hotel, a low- priced establishment near the railway station which is hardly ever patronized by Americans. o) c In P fn M riv) JULS W UVU vHJuvl Ui stores win m ji (o mm THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY! uu iuuk uinm nuo anurnniu in KtumuNU this Fridav and saf,.rri till 9 p.m., and next weekend, too (Dec. 20, 21 and 23)!
