The last stage of the rocket apparently was caught in space and became a second satellite. "It is not only the satellite which is being watched," Mos cow Radio said, "but also the rocket that carried it into the orbit. Nearly Same Altitude "This rocket is also encircling the earth at approximately the same altitude as the satellite. "But it is separated from it by some 1,000 kilometers (680 miles). This distance will alter in the future." This announcement was the latest in Russia's stepped-up scientific and propaganda battle with the West. Shortly before, it reported it had exploded a "new" hydrogen warhead Sun day. This came only a few days behind Moscow's achievement of launching the first earth satellite into outer space. Scientists Not Surprised Tracking the shell, as well as the satellite, would provide highly important information on the character of space. Moscow's" disclosure was not a surprise to scientists. Theoretically, anything fired outside the earth's atmosphere and gravitational field at suf ficient speed would become a satellite, regardless of shape or design. Drs. J. Allen Hynek and Rich ard E. McCorsky of the Smith sonian Astrophysical Laboratory in Cambridge, Mass., told news men earlier today that they be lieved the satellite might actu ally include the third-stage rock et. May Have Been Rocket McCorsky said at that time there was a possibility the rock et itself had become a satellite of even greater dimensions than the original. McCorsky said that on this basis it was possible that a reported sighting of the satel lite in Alaska Sunday was actu ally the third stage rocket. Observers said the orbiting of the Soviet rocket gave convinc ing new evidence of the Krem lin scintists' ability to aim a guided missile. Only One Rocket it would have to be delivered into space at exactly the right speed on precisely me correti course to "orbit" into a perfect trajectory. ablv. only the last stage of the launching rocket was revolving aDOut we earm. Scientists believed it required at least a three-stage rocket one rocket firing after another, with the spent one dropping out to carry the 184-pound satellite to its orbit 560 miles above earth. The news of the second acci dental "satellite" was broadcast to Soviet listeners in the Mos cow home service early in the evening.

Meade Al corn, chairman of the Republi ' can National Committee, told the annual convention of the Oregon Young Republicans here Saturday evening that he is con vinced the Republican party can make a comeback in Oregon in 1958. Alcorn told the group that their "first step" must be to "retire" Democratic Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger "to private life" in 1960. Speaking of Sen. Wayne Morse, also an Oregon Demo crat, he declared, "Unfortunate ly the people have no early op portunity to get rid of Morse." Sen. Morse was elected last year, and his term expires in 1962. The GOP official told the con vention delegates there ia a "vast sim Satellite GUEST SPEAKER At a dinner meeting of the Democratic Social club in the Medford hotel Saturday night, Representative Charles O. Porter outlined different phases of the Rogue basin development bill which he put belore Congress this year. Cost of the pro posed project will be over $66 million. At the head table with Porter, seated left to right, are Mrs. Porter, chairman of the Democratic Porter Flies Over Project Site Prior to Auto Tour of Same Area Congressman Charles O. Pos ter this morning flew over sev eral widely-separated portions of his proposed Rogue Basin de velopment project to see from the air proposed da"msites""ah"d' alternative locations. He made the flight before an automobile caravan tour of some of the locations, and after a briefing session at the Medford hotel, at which two representa- Couple Brought Back By Mercy Flights, Inc. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Brooks, 907 South Ivy st., were returned to Medford by a Mercy Filghts, Inc., air ambulance Saturday. Both were injured in an auto mobile accident near Palmdale, Calif., recently. Mrs. Brooks, more seriously hurt than her husband, was taken to Sacred Heart hospital here. She had been hospitalized in Palmdale. The couple was picked up at Bakersfield, Calif., after engine trouble held up the air am bulance plane there for repairs. They were taken from Palm dale to Bakersfield by ground ambulance. The Brookses were the 726th and 727th patients flown by the non-profit air ambulance cor poration. It was the first time since 1952 that a patient was de layed by mechanical difficul ties, and the third time since the service began operations in January, 1950. New Disarmament Plan To Include Satellites United Nations, N. Y. (IP) The United States will present to the General Assembly early this , week a disarmament plan that may urge controls over earth satellites such as the Rus sian sphere hurtling around the globe. . , Young GOP reservoir" of solid Republican strength in Oregon. Earlier in the day, the Young Republicans elected Jack Miller of Salem as new chairman and Joyce Spillman of Portland as cochairman. Harvey Osborn of Portland was reelected YR com mitteeman and Carolyn Larson, Eugene. was elected national committeewoman . The hottest floor fight of the convention came on a resolution which would have recommend ed allowing the Justice Depart ment greater powers in guaran teeing civil rights. The resolu tion was beaten with the final version saying "We, as Young Republicans, urge that as a state we should clean up our own house before criticizing other states." tives of the corps of engineers told of progress in their study of the projects. The Eugene Democratic con gressman is sponsor of a bill to authorize the project, at an esti mated "cost' of some' $66V miF lion. Additional studies, supple menting earlier work by a num ber of federal agencies, are now under way. The congressman, flying in a Rogue Flying Service plane, and accompanied by Henry Stewart of the engineers and Jack Hoff buhr of the Medford Irrigation district, first went over the pro posed Apllegate dam site, just above Ruch and just below the confluence of the Big and Little Applegate rivers. They then pro ceeded to the Copper area, where an alternate dam site is under study, which would cur tail some flood control benefits, but be better for the Applegate fishery. Follows Applegate The plane then followed the Applegate down to the Rogue just below Grants Pass, then upriver to the Lewis creek dam site, over which most of the controversy in the project has arisen, and then over three dam sites which are under consid eration as' alternates to Lewis creek. They are on Elk creek, Juveniles Arrested For Torpedo Thefts Police arrested three juveniles and are looking for several more in connection with a series of thefts of railway torpedoes and fuses from a Southern Pacific caboose standing on the right-of-way near Jackson and Clark sts. during the week end, according to city police. Police said they first arrested a 15-year-old in the Craterian theater on Saturday night and arrested a 15-year-old and 14-year-old' on Sunday afternoon in connection with the torpedo theft. When questioning the" three youths at the station, po lice said they admitted to taking the flares and fuses and also told police of other youths in volved in the theft. A police officer, making a routine check, found a box of the torpedoes and fuses on top of a stairway leading to the roof of the Fluhrer building Saturday night. Acting on a "tip," police arrested the first boy while he was watching a movie. The other two juveniles were arrested while placing torpedoes on the Southern Pacific tracks in front of freight train, police said. Police said also they had recovered 32 torpedoes and a number of fuses from the three boys. A number of fuses and torpedoes are yet unaccounted for despite the number the boys say they used, officers said. The three youths were re leased in custody of their par ents pending action by juvenile authorities, police said. Investi gation is still underway to locate the remaining flaxes, they added. Central committee Larry Sheehan and Demo cratic Social club president Marvin Madden. Other guests at the dinner included Rep. and Mrs. Robert Duncan. This morning, Porter, along with Henry Stewart of the Army engi neers and Jack Hoffbuhr of the Medford Irri gation district flew over various 'proposed dam sites along the Rogue and Applegate riv ers to study the terrain from the air. Big Butte Creek, and on the Rogue itself, near Lost creek, about 10 miles upriver from Lewis creek. At the 8 a.m. briefing session, Steward and Ross Hatch told the 70 Of "more- "persons"-attending", the engineers' study is well along, and should be finished soon after the end of the cur rent fiscal year. Developing Plan They are developing a com prehensive plan to take into con sideration the needs and desires of all interested, they stated, and are particularly interested in the reactions and suggestions of lo cal people who know the area They don't want to "miss out" on any sites which are suscepti ble to more effective develop ment than the sites already un der consideration, they said. The projects' costs are being measured against the benefits which would accrue from them, it was explained, and concur rent studies have been requested from the U.S. Fish and wildlife service, and from the state fish and game . commissions. Col. Paul H. Weiland, speak ing for himself and for organ ized fishermen and conservation ists, spoke 'at the meeting, her aiding the coming "battle of the Rogue river," if efforts are con ttinued to get the high Lewis creek dam, saying that nation wide organizations would battle such a development, no matter how strongly it was supported in this area. Porter Speaks Congressman Porter spoke after Weiland, saying this was not the time for a detailed re ply, but pointing out that as a conservationist himself, he is de termined to see that all phases of the project shall have approp riate emphasis and protection. "We must look at this in bal ance," he said, "and not just from one viewpoint alone. He also cited new developments in the protection of fish life, and stated he believed it would be possible to end up with even better fishing on the Rogue, af ter the project is completed, than there is at present. His mail indicates some 98 per cent of Jackson county peo ple want this development, and he said the proper procedure now is to let the engineers and other agencies complete their survey, and everyone cooperate with them so that the best pos sible proposal will result.

(IP) Gov. Orval E. Faubus charged today that federal troops guarding Central High school have been invading "the privacy of the girls' dressing rooms." He made the charge in a letter to Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker, military commander here. A spokesman for Walker said the Army had no knowledge of any such incident. Superintendent of Schools Virgil T. Blossom, after check ing with Central High school of ficials, told reporters: "The troops are not following the girls into the dressing rooms. Why the governor takes the word of a bunch of agitators to make such a charge I do not know." Assistant School Superinten dent Fred Graham said the ac cusation was "ridiculous." Complaints Received Faubus told 'Walker in his letter that he has "received a number of complaints from par ents, mostly mothers, about your troqps accompanying the girl students to their dressing rooms." The governor,' who distribut ed the letter to the press before it was received at Walker's head quarters, suggested that the general bring in a number of Women's Army Corps members to police the dressing rooms if he feels tropps are needed to protect Negro girls there. He said it would be "more seemly" for Wacs to handle such guard duty "rather than male soldiers armed with rifles, bayo nets and billy clubs." Tensions Seen Easing The governor's latest blast at the federal troops came after a Negro leader said racial ten sions seemed to be easing in Little R'.'ck and the atmosphere at Central High was "getting back to normal pretty fast." Mrs. Lucius C. Bates, Ar kansas leader of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, said the nine Negro students attending Cen tral High under the protection of federal troops are beginning to look forward "hopefully" to the day when "they can walk to school like everyone else, with out armed guards." The Army escorted the Negro boys and girls to school as usual this morning. Informed sources said Maj. Gen. Walker had no immediate plans for reducing the force of paratroopers and national guardsmen patrolling the school. Power Outage Occurs In Southern Oregon An outage throughout the gen eral svstem of California-Oregon Power company was reported a little before 10 a.m. today wnen trouble developed in the sub station yard at Dixonville, near Roseburg. company officials said. The sub-station serves South ern Oregon and northern Cali fornia areas. The power was off for about 30 minutes. Local hospitals reported the use of auxiliary power during the period, with Sacred Heart hospital switching to an auxil iary generator. Both Osteopathic and Rogue Valley hospitals switched to battery powered lamps. Several x-rays and one operation were delayed at Os teopathic hospital due to the power failure. At Rogue Valley hospital an operation was re ported in progress at the time. Battery lamps supplied the pow er in the operating room, hos pital officials reported. City police reported normal operations from stand-by gen erator for police radio, teletype and office lights. Several small traffic jams .were reported in the downtown area due to the lack of traffic signals. Police directed traffic in heavily traveled inter section. Radio stations in the valley were off the air during the pow er failure, station spokesmen said. Drill Planned Tonight For National Guard A drill will be held tonight for headquarters company of the first battalion, 186th infantry of the National Guard, Capt. S. J.

Many of the previous drills had been cancelled due to curtailment of National Guard funds on a na tional level, the captain reported, "What Are You Going Students Pour Into Riot-Torn Warsaw Warsaw HP) Hundreds of students from other Polish cities poured into riot-torn Warsaw to day for a mass meeting in de fiance of a police ban. The location and exact pur pose of the meeting was kept a secret and steel-helmeted militia men patrolled every street in the center of the city on the lookout for it. The city was quiet but tense and there were fears the meet ing would spark another riot of the type that, has rocked the capital four nights in a row. Hundreds of young persons were reported under arrest but there was no accurate count.

' The $1,000 estimated in net sales receipts is approximately half of the net proceeds from last year's sales, Cook said. Then the Rotary club committee raised $2,000 to give to the Rogue Valley hospital. Cook said about 200 suits were on sale this year and all but 20 of these were sold. Last year many more suits were placed on sale through donation. This year's . proceeds will be used by the civic club's youth activities. A major project is bringing a foreign exchange stu dent to this area through the American Field Service. Such a student would attend public schools here for a pear, Cook explained. Cook added that he had ob tained 25 suits by sending a form letter throughout the United Air Lines system. He is manager of the local office.

Neuberger Says Foreign Aid Program Supported To Keep Boys Out of Uniform Salem (Ut Sen. Richard L, Neuberger (D-Ore.) said today that in supporting President Ei senhower's foreign aid program "I felt that I was voting to keep young Americans out of uniform in distant and dangerous parts of the globe by helping to arm brave and valiant allies who want to fight at our side."

Talent Pair Found After Night Search A Talent man and his 10-year-old son were found this morning after an all night search by sher iff's deputies and relatives of the missing man. George Cutburth, 56, Talent, and his son, Hadley Cutburth, were reported lost in the Imna ha . Gap area about 20 miles northeast of Butte Falls late Sun day evening. The two were hunt ing and were separated from two other hunters, Delbert Johnson and Danny Tuttle. The others called Mrs. Johnson who report ed the man and boy missing to sheriff's officers. The man and boy were re ported to have wandered away from their car and became con fused as to directions. Once they realized they were lost, Cut burth told authorities, he built a fire and spent the night in one location. Early this morning a daughter of the Cutburths drove farther up the road from where the Cutburths' was parked and honked the car horn until until the man and boy appeared. Preparing to join in the search after daylight were loggers and U. S. Forest Service personnel as well as Oregon stat police. Last Nuclear Device Exploded in Nevada Angel's Peak, Nev. (IP) The nuclear device "Morgan" blast ed the "new day at 5 a.m. (pst), today, bringing to a close in flame and fury the nation's 1957 series of atomic tests. The device, 24th exploded in the spring and summer series, was cradled under a plastic bal loon tethered 500 feet above the Yucca Flat test site, 75 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The blast ripped the morning sky with a' force equivalent to between 5,000 and 10,000 tons of TNT and sent the familiar, but still awesome, mushroom cloud rising high into the sky. Blinding white light of the flash was seen hundreds of miles away. The shocking force of the wave swept across the desert area, swirling up dust and sand. tions" on world conditions to illustrate how Mutual Security responds to national needs. 1.
