Gromyko announced jointly Saturday night that they had held "helpful" discussions on the Middle East, disarmament, Eu rope and Russo-American rela tions. That was the highlight of a joint communique issued follow ing a talk at Dulles' home that lasted nearly four hours. As he shook hands and said goodbye to Dulles, Gromyko stopped to tell reporters the Jn versation had been "useful" on a number of problems, including the tension-ridden Middle East, and the disarmament stalement. Clarify Position He said both sides had ex plaine and clarified their posi tions on major topics. Dulles, in advance of the ses sioun, had been prepared to warn Gromyko that Russian arms dumping policies in the Middle East could lead to war. The communique said the two had felt that a meeting "would enable them to seek clarifica tion of the intentions and posi tions of their respective govern ments on major questions of mu tual concern." "They believe," it added, "that the conversation this afternoon has been helpful in this respect. The major topics brought up were the Middle East, disarma ment, the situation in Europe and United States-Soviet con tacts." Communique Read The communique was read to newsmen on Dulles' front lawn by Assistant Secretary of State Andrew H. Berding. On the "situation in Europe, ' Berding said Dulles "brought up the need for the reunification of Germany." "This was not, however, dis cussed because Mr. Gromyko said he could not accept this as a proper subject for discussion by him," Berding added. Dulles was reported to have voiced words of caution that So viet policy in the Middle East could lead to trouble. But the communique gave no details on this or any other subject discussed. Murder Trial Planned For Dec. 5 Hearing Grants Pass 0P Circuit t n J. Millard Friday set Dec. 5 as the date of the first degree murder trial of Felix J. Brame. 46-year-old Grants Pass man accused of the latai snoot ing of hise stranged wife Marg Tulv in Brame had entered a plea ol Innocent. Dewey Wilson, member of the Medford law firm of Duncan, Wilsnn and Duhaime, defense counsel for the retired U. S. Army major, filed a writ ten note with Judge Millard Fri day that Brame was "insane or mentally defective" at the time of the alleged shooting. Wilson also filed a demurer charging that the' grand jury indictment -,4nct Rrame was "faulty." The 46-year-old woman had been shot with a .45-caliber pis tol. Football Scores VMI 2. Klrhmoni!

Porter Mates Benefits off Bill Vast benefits which would ac crue to the Rogue River basin through proper development were cited here last night by Congressman Charles O. Porter, sponsor of a development bill now in Congress. The Eugene Democratic rep resentative, addressing some 60 members of the county's Dem orcatic Social club and others at the Medford hotel, went into some detail as to provisions of Rioting Students Beat Up Militia In Warsaw Strife ' Warsaw Police fired tear gas shells at hundreds of rioting students Saturday night and ar rested some 200 persons in the third straight night of street violence in this tense communist capital. Students surged into the streets swinging sitcks, stones and rubber truncheons. They beat up several militia men who tried to restore order. One militiaman was reported to have been killed. The outbreaks hit the city in two waves, one around 8 p.m. (11 a.m. Pst) and the second two hours later. Fighting broke out first in Powfka and Wilcza streets, then in the area of Zlota and Zgoda streets where the militia fired several shots over the heads of the rioters. Hooligons Blamed Police blamed "zootsuit hool igans" rather than students for the vioence. They said hooligans, many of them drunk, infiltrated the student protest groups. For the third night the crowd's sticksand stones were no match for the Militia's tear gas. Riot squads cleared t h e streets and by midnight the city was quiet. Earlier, security police had dispersed small groups of mut tering students who had assemb led in several Warsaw squares. For a while, it appeared that an uneasy truce had developed. Then hundreds' of students swarmed to the attack again. Increase Precautions The authorities increased their precautions. Some 500 mil itiamen were sent to protect the militia headquarters at Mostow ski palace. But the students, protesting against the banning of their outspoken newspaper, erupted elsewhere, despite the fact that an estimated 200 of their num ber have been arrested as a re sult of the rioting last night and the night before. The Wilcza street demonstrat ors. dispersed, reformed in a sullen crowd at Pozmafka street under the watchful eyes of heav ily-armed police. No violence was reported from this area. Fund Drive To Start With Democrats Soon First door-to-door canvassing since the 1956 election campaign will be conducted by Democrat ic fund-raisers next week. This "Dollars for Democrats" drive is part of a nation-wide drive, according to the official announcement. "Oregon's Democratic families can expect to be called on at their homes Monday through Saturday," according to Oscar Kendall of Corvallis, drive chairman. "The drive will end with a final report from each Democratic county organization to the state headquarters in Portland Oct. 12. "Dollars for Democrats" was begun in 1956 as an annual Dem ocratic fund-raising event with the aim of financing the party by many small contributions. It will be held in most of the 48 states this year from Oct. 7 to Oct. 12.

Provide SI million, or as much more as is needed, for develop- ROGUE TOUR SET A caravan tour of areas pro posed for development under Congressman Charles O. Por ter's Rogue Basin bill will be conducted Monday morning, he reminded residents last night. Anyone interested is in vited to participate. The group will gather at the Medford hotel at 8 a.m. for a briefing by corps of engineers representatives, and will then proceed to the airport where the congressman will make a brief aerial inspection of the area. Following his return, the motorcade will proceed to in spect several of the key sites proposed for development. ment and preservation of recrea tional facilities, including fish life. Provide irrigation for 114, 000 acres of land, 74,000 of them irrigated for the first time, and 40,000 with supplemental irriga tion. ' Generate 61,000 kilowatts of power. Prevent disastrus floods, such as the one which caused more than $4 million in 1955. Have a benefit-cost ratio of 3.5 to 1 or even better, one of the highest for any similar pro ject in the nation. Preserve, or even improve, the fishery resource here through scientific management and better fishery control. Mail Supports He said he has received a great deal of mail from this area re garding the bill, almost all of it favorable. He says he under stands the opposition of fisher men, who were instrumental in defeating a similar development' plan in 1948, but he is convinced that when they look at the over- alljbenefits,'as well as the pro tective features of the bill, tney too will support it. Porter stated that, as It is a multi-purpose plan, no one spec ial interest probably would en tirely satisfied, but he said as nlans develoo (and additional federal agency studies are now under way), he is convinced it will have widespread support as one of the surest guarantees for a sound economic future for this area, and the population and in dustrial increases which are bound to come. Discounts "Rift" Earlier, he discounted reports of a "rift" in the Democratic members of Oregon's Congres sional delegation, specifically be tween Senators Wayne L. Morse and Richard L. Neuberger. "None of us," he declared, 'were elected to be- 'me-too' men. and we do have our tem porary disagreements." But he emphasized the five Democrats all have the same social and po litical aims, and work toward them as their intelligence and consciences indicate. "Disagreements are the basis of democratic government and healthy compromise, he stated. "When we stop disagreeing, then is the time to worry." Touching on the election of James Hoffa as president of the Teamsters union, Congressman Porter reported he is working on a draft of a bill which would protect the rights of members of union organizations while at the same time not restricting pro cedure so drastically as to deny union's overall rights and pow ers. Teamster Asks Advice -He cited the case of a Eugene Teamster who called him last week, asking what other union he and some 30 or more of his friends could join. The congress man said if proper procedures are set up, such a situation of boss rule would not arise in democratically-run unions. Turning to present economic difficulties in Oregon, he point ed out Jackson county is suffer ing less than other areas in his fourth district, but he empha sized much remains to be done to get Oregon's economy as a whole back on its feet. One par tial solution, he believes, would be enactment of a bill he is spon soring which would permit FHA loans to be made from a fund loaned by the Railroad Retire ment board. It would also have the advantage of increasing in come to the railroad funds, he said. Marvin Madden, president of the club, presided, and intro duced a number of Democratic office-holders and party work ers. Larry Sheehan, chairman of the Democratic central commit tee, asked for cooperation in next week's "Dollars for Demo- i crats" fund-raising campaign. No Launching Set For Satellite This Year By U.S. ICBM Developments Held Possibly True Temple City, Calif. HP! The United States will not get a sat ellite into the air this year, Dr. W. H. Pickering, director of the Cal Tech Jet laboratory said Saturday night. The scientist said all he knew about a possible step-up in the U. S. satellite program was what he read in the newspaper. Pickering was at an Interna tional Geophysical Year confer ence in Washington, D.C., when the Russians announced they had launched their satellite. He said there were indications the Rus sians planned to launch a satel lite soon but it still came as a surprise. Reports May Be True Russia's ability to launch an artificial moon so much larger than that planned by the U. S. indicates that the Russian's claim of having developed an ICBM may be true, Pickering said. However, he steered clear of the science fiction aspects of the satellite. "You can let 'your imagina tion run in any direction," he said, "But there is a long way to go before man reaches the moon." " Track Signal As Pickering talked, electron ic experts in a small basement room of the sheriff's substation were picking up the signal of the satellite as it swung over California and Arizona again. The "beep . . . beep" of the signal was recorded on tape for analysis. Pickering said he felt the Rus sians eventually would provide the key to the data-loaded sig nal transmitted from the 184 pound artificial moon speeding around the e arth at 18,000 miles an hour. ' " """ Cal Tech scientists hoped to determine the temperature of outer space and cosmic ray radi ation from the tape. The first signal received from the satellite was reported re corded at 7:10 p.m. (PST) Friday by members of the San Gab riel Valley Radio club, a group of "ham" operators working with the Cal Tech lab. There were two teams on duty Saturday night, one here and one on a hilltop in Flintridge, recording as the unseen satellite swept overhead. They planned v to man their stations for 24 hours a day until the pattern of the satellite is established. Schoolboards Meet Here On Monday , School board members of first, second and third class districts and members of the Jackson county non-high board will meet at 8 p.m. Monday, in the county courthouse auditorium to select a committee to plan reorganiza tion of school districts. Board members will select a nine-member board and five al ternates to fill vacancies should any occur during the tenure of the reorganization committee. Alf B. Mekvold, superintend' ent of county schools, said any legal voter is eligible to serve on the committee. The Monday night meeting should not be confused with a meeting scheduled Thursday at Medford High school, Mekvold pointed out. The Thursday night meeting has been called by the rural board relating to the revised tu- ral school law. Two temporary additional members-at-large to the rural board will be elected Thursday night. Glen Smith chairman of the rural board, will serve as chairman. Medford Ham Hears Medford "ham" operator Charles Thurston reported that he received the radio signals from the Russian-made satellite Friday night and watched "pips" a.s they were recorded on a Pan adaptor, a device similar to a small television screen. Thurston first picked up the signal at about 10:45 p.m. and continued to receive it for a pe riod of about 4V2 minutes, while the satellite traveled across the sky "somewhere" to the north. Thurston said he could not tell its exact position, but because the pips were stronger when his directional antenna was pointed due north it could be assumed that it was orbiting over the SOW ificial Moon Crosses Country In Six Journeys Tracking Equipment Revamped. For Work Washington OPI A Russian space satellite hurtled across the United States six times Saturday while scientists worked rapidly to revamp tracking systems and plot its course. Meantime, two reports indi cated the artificial moon already may be slowing down. A scien tist of the Carnegie Institution's observation station at Derwood, Md., said the satellite was tak ing 101 minutes to circle the earth, instead of the 95 minutes announced by Moscow. The RCA communications research laboratory at Riverhead, N.Y., calculated its speed this after noon at 17,712 miles per hour, compared with the Soviet-estimated initial speed of 18,000 mph. . 1 Hasn't Slowed Down However, Dr. John P. Hagen, director of the U. S. Satellite project, said, "I guarantee it hasn't slowed down very much, if at all." Dr. Joseph W. Siry of the U. S. Naval Research laboratory in Washington, said he did not have enough information to say whether it is slowing down. Siry said the Russian sphere crossed parts of the United States six times in the first full day of primitive space flight. To Pass Over Cities He predicted it will pass over or near these cities early Sun day: Boston. 12:51 a.m. (EDT): New York, 12:52; Philadelphia and Washington,. 12:53; Charleston, S'. C, 12:55; Miami, 12:56. The next pass was predicted to beein at 2:25 a.m. (EDT) over Miami, Fla. The combined effects of the orbit s course and the earth's spinning on its axis will make this pass come from south west to northeast. The next daylight pass was calculated to begin in the Bos ton vicinity at 9:03 a.m. (EDT) over New York at 9:04; Philadel phia, Baltimore and Washington, at 9:05; Charleston, 9:07 and Mi ami 9:08. The staff of Project Vanguard, the U. S. satellite project, work ed through much of Friday night and all of Saturday to patch to gether a network for tracking the Russian moon. This was nec essary because of its equipment was not geared to the space ball's radio beam. Stations Make Chrfnge Five Minitrack stations com pleted changes necessary to put them in operations so they could monitor the low frequency "beep" signals emitted by the satellite. The stations are at San Diego, Calif., Ft. Stewart, Ga., Havan na, Cuba, Quito, Ecuador, and Lima, Peru. At the same time amateurs and commercial and other radio monitors sent in a flood of reports. An elaborate network of moni tors will be needed to pinpoint the satellite's position at any time. Officials were not worried about their initial lack of pre cise information on its course. Snow Totals 74 Inches At Crater Lake Park Klamath Falls, Ore. (IP) Crater Lake National Park had 7 V2 inches of new snow Friday night, bringing the total snow pack to 21 inches. Officials said that was a new record for this time nf vear. Highway 62 was open through the park to the rim, but chains were advised for motorists mak ing the trip. northern part of the United States. or Canada. Signal Clear Thurston reported that the signal was clear and that there was a pronounced "fading in' and "fading out" of the pips when the satellite came into 'nd left his radio ranee. The pips oc curred at the rate of about two per second and had a two-toned sound. Thurston picked up the signal again at 12:17 a.m., approxim ately an hour and 35 minutes from the time he first received it, which is reported to be the orbit interval. This time it was audible for about four minutes, but the signal seemed to "peak", SAY "How Can You Doubt ST" urch To I Against Communists Vatican City (IP) Pope Pius XII said Saturday night the Roman Catholic church will bat tle atheistic Communism to the bitter end, using "the weapons of Christ." "The church of Christ does not dream of abandoning the terrain to its declared enemy atheistic Communism, without a fight," the pontiff said in a ma jor speech to 2,500 delegates of Purchase Of Lots Approved By City Purchase of two lots and an nouncement of the Public Utili ties Commission hearing results on the Eighth st. grade crossing were authorized by the city council at last Thursday eve ning's meet. Robert A. Duff, city manager. said both projects would fall un der the city's arterial street pro gram. The two lots to be purchased are owned by Mrs. Lola B. Ro ney. The lots are required by the city to extend 10th st. from Riverside and across Bear Creek. Price of the two lots was listed at $12,500. Duff reported to the council that the PUC had ruled the Southern Pacific must prepare the tracks and roadbed for street construction at Eighth st. Though the city will pay the cost of installation, signal cross ing lights will be installed by the SP who will then maintain them, according to the commis sion reports. The city is to bear all other costs of construction of the grade crossing which is due to become a one-way couplet in the city's arterial street program. Apointmenls Slow For Blood Drawing Only 25 appointments had been made by Saturday for the Red Cross Bloodmobile visit Fri day noon, Red Cross officials re ported. The Bloodmobile will be at the new Red Cross building on Hawthorne st. Wednesday, be tween 1 and 6 p.m. A total of 350 donors are need ed to fill the 290-pint quota, officials said. Walk-in donors will be welcome, they added. Ap pointments may be made by tel ephoning the Red Cross office at SPring 3-3813. . Satellite Beeping or reach its strongest point, more rapidly than it did the first time. Little Interference At the time he was receiving, outside radio interference was at a minimum, Thurston said, and other attempts during day light hours Saturday were not so' successful, although faint pulsing could be heard. The sig nal during the day was not strong enough to register on the Panadaptor. Thurston, who owns Medford Radio Service at 19 North Fir st., has no more than standard amateur radio equipment. He said any of the "ham" operators in this area should be able to re ceive the signal, which he My Good Intentions?'" Battle the congress of the lay apos- tolate. He stressed the need for them to enter the entertainmnt and publication fields to spread "Christian principles. ' The 81-year-old pope drove to Vatican City from his sum mer residence at Castel Gandolfo outside Rome for the audience in St. Peter's basilica. Yields To Advisers , Yielding to his advisers, the pontiff read only the introduc tion and conclusion of his 5,000 word address in order to con serve big strength. The full text was circulated later among' the delegates. As it was, the pope spoke for 30 minutes, and at the end issued greetings to delegates from many of the 92 nations rep resented in their native langu ages. Two Main Functions ' t- . The pope said the lay aposto late had two main functions: to conserve and conquer in the name of God. "The church has urgent need of both at the, present moment," he said. "To put it clearly, the church of Christ does not dream of abandoning the terrain to its de clared enemy, atheistic Commu nism, without a fight. "This combat will be carried through to the end, but with the weapons of Christ." In outlining the way: The lay apostolate in effect, lay prop agandists for the church can make their influence felt on so cial life, the pope stressed the need for elevating th tone of television, films, newspapers and books.

Medford amateur operator Ken Knackstedt initiated an al ert of all local "hams" in this area Friday when news of the launching of the Russian satel lite was received. Besides the fascination of hearing signals from the outer space station, practice in tracking the satellite is good training for radio ama teurs, who may. at times, be called upon to supplement regu lar tracking stations when the United States launches its own satellites, Knackstedt said. ll Satellite Hailed As Soviet Triumph With More Planned To Mark Revolution With Announcement Moscow (W Soviet 'scientists who carried man into the age of space flight Saturday set their goal as the moon "in a few years." Radio Moscow, in a domestic broadcast beamed also to the western world, hailed the launch ing of the Soviet satellite Friday as a "triumph of the Soviet regime," but concentrated on feats yet to come in the conquer ing of outer space. Prof. Kirill Stanyukovich, a Soviet expert in jet propulsion and member of the interdepart mental commission of interplane tary communications, was quot- Russia's earth satellite is a demeonstration that Soviet government-subsidized educa tion makes full use of its tal ent, and has 'again outstripped us" in a technical advance. Congressman Charles O. Por ter of this district declared last nighty t He said the devolepment lends urgency to education for the especially gifted young people in this country, and for ma kin use of our human re sources. He said he is spon soring a bill which would pro vide a minimum sum of $100, 000 for initial work on a "crash program" for govern ment leadership in developing special educational opportuni ties for young people with par ticular gifts and talents. ed as saying that the launching of the 22.8-inch, 184-pound sphere jnta -an., orbit 560 -miles above the earth was but the first step in the campaign to reach the moon. Prof. Ivan Petrovsky, presi dent of the Moscow university, said interplanetary voyages in deed were becoming a reality. Predict - Announcement , Observers in Moscow predict ed the Soviets would make more startling announcements . in the field of science in connection with the forthcoming 40th an niversary of the Russian revolu tion this month. - Soviet authorities gave credit to the theories drawn up 60 years ago by 19th century Rus sian visionary Konstantin Tsiul kovsky and hailed him as the "father" of space flight. Its speed could be better vis ualized by the Moscow announce ment that at 12:30 p.m. E.D.T. it was due over Detroit. One minute later, it was due over Washington, D.C. The radio said as of 1:46 a.m., Moscow time 9:46 p.m. PST Friday the satellite had circled, the earth, a shining, radio-laden metal globe twice the size of a , basketball, six and a half times. Makes Steady Beep A steady "beep" emitted from its radio equipment, picked up by amateur radio stations, "moonwatcher" listening posts established for the 1957-58 inter national geophysicaly ear, and the big commerical radio stations the world over. The signal appeared faint in some areas, strong in others. They were coming to earth on microwave frequencies of 20.005 and 40.002 megacycles. (How long it would stay in its orbit was a problem that had western scientists guessing. Some said two to three weeks. Others said it could stay up years.) When it slows down and sinks into the earth's atmosphere, it will burn like a cinder and vanish having performed its work in giving man his first tantalizing glimpse, through its electronic signals, of space. Youngster Hit By Car, Complains Of Injuries Carl Oscar Edwards, 10, of 15V4 Genessee st., was taken to Sacred Heart hospital by city police after he complained of back injuries resulting from a car accident, according to city police Saturday 'night. Police said the youth was ex amined and x-rays taken before he was released. The Edwards boy was a passenger in a car driven by Coniglia M. Edwards, 15V Genessee st., which col lided with., another car driven by Larry 'Kenneth Nolte, 335 North Ivy st., according to po lice. Police records show the acci dent took place about 5:51 p.m. at the intersection of Fifth and Bartlett sts. V
