By RUTHERFORD POATS O United Press Correspondent Washington Is Sputnik a ?py? American scientists didn't think so at first. Now, some of them are not sure. A pile of tape-recording of the Russian satellite's coded messages are piling up in the U.S. Naval Rcserch Laboratory and other radio-monitoring sta tions. So far they are '"just a mean ingless collection of squisgles on tape," said one oficial of Project Vanguard, the U.S. satel lite program. Speculation has ranged over the possibility that Sputnik may be an eye-in-the-sky, recording coastlines and even islands and lakes below it throuah photo graphic or infra-red devices and radioing the information back to Moscow. A Military Tool If so it could be a military tool of vast importance. If such jinition even of continental 'coastlines Sputnik would give Quotes From the News BY UNITED PRESS Chicago Robert Kennedy, chief counsel of the Senate Rack ets committee, charging that more than 75 per cent of the dele gates at the recent Teamsters union convention were there ille gally: "How could this happen? Very simply. When it became neces sary. Mr. (President Dave) Beck just waived the constitution." Safi Francisco Vice President Nixon, while saying that Sput nik hasn't increased Russia's military strength: "The absolute necessity of maintaing our superiority in mili tary strength must always take priority orer the understandable desire to reduce our taxes."

APPLEGATE VALLEY Cattle Taken Off Range By MAUDE ZIEGLER, Applegate Valley The earl iest and heaviest October snow that local cattlemen have seen on the high range brought some inconvenience when a pickup belonging to Leon Offenbacher was snowed in at Donamore camp on the California side of the Siskiyous recently. The men came from Dona more Wednesday with 100 head of cattle, but four inches of snow prevented the pickup truck from climbing the steep moun tains, Qffenbacher said. The storm left 18 inches at Donamore with six-foot drifts on Dutchman's peak. In a second attempt Friday the pickup was brought home only after the road had been plowed by Marvin Hamersly of Medford, a logger in the area, and his equipment was used to pull the car. Henry Head and Cliff Lugenbeel of Grants Pass as sisted Offenbacher. on the trip. Most stockmen here will make another trip to the hills to fin ish gathering cattle. Several local people have been successful in getting deer, including Mrs. Wilbur Johnston, who with her family and Eddie Paxton of Jacksonville, made a trip to Burns. Mrs. Johnston and Paxton each got a four point California buck in the Siskiyous. Glenn France and Collier Learning of Central Point each got a four point buck at Dead Indian. Mrs. Bernice Meier of South Gate, near Los Angeles, expects to return to her home Wednes day after spending a few days here visiting Mrs. John Byrne. Mrs. Meier is a former member of the Grange, and attended dedication and open house last week end. Mrs. Lester Layton has return ed to her home at Grants Pass after spending a week here with her daughter, Mrs. Lance Offen bacher. Other guests recently at the Offenbacher home have been Layton. Mr. and Mrs. Karl Lay ton, and Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Bowles of Grants Pass. Mrs. Bowles and Mrs. Offenbacher jointly celebrated their birth days with a dinner and gift exchange. Thirty-seven young people of junior and senior high school age attended the dinner at Ruch Community church Tuesday which officially opened the fall church activities, including Tues day night Youth fellowship meeings. The Rev. Lee Green, a missionary in the Belgian Congo, spoke to the group and showed a film on the mission field in that area which he had made. Mrs. Herbert Sutton of San Diego spent Sunday night here as a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams. She is remain ing for a few days in Medford, her former home. Rural Reflections: Autumn leaves have not turned in the lower valleys, but the gorgeous red and yellows of the higher canyons, caught in that glorious peak of coloring that soon is be yond the grasp of hands, were brought for many to enjoy at the Grange open house and dedi cation a few days ago. The gay foliage was gathered by Bert and Christine Harr en route from Squaw lake and decorated the stage of the new building. Bert has confessed that after years of hardships in riding the range, it is only very recently that he has come to appreciate the beauty of autumn which to him had meant the approaching rigors of winter and the cold wet thud of snow sliding from tree branches as the cow pony carried him under laden boughs. Moisture Conditions Guide Beef Producing Des Moines (IP Moisture conditions on May 1 should guide beef cattle production, according to an article in Successful Farm ing magazine. A method of production devel oped by 50 eastern Colorado farmers ad ranchers said cattle men should determine if mois ture conditions on that date were well below normal, below nor mal, above normal, or well above normal. Then, the article said, the beef producers should act according to the following recommenda tions: Well below normal. Sell cull sows and bulls and 350-400 pound calves. Veal calves if nec essary. Use reserve feed. Under long drouth, possibly liquidate livestock. Below normal. Replace cull cows with heifers and sell 350 400 pound calves. Use reserve feed. Normal. Replace cull cows. Sell half of the 350-400 calves and increase weight of the re maining calves. Above normal. Replace cull cows. Increase weight of feed lot calves to 600-800 pounds. Build up feed reserves and make safe investments. Well above normal. Replace cull cows and bulls. Purchase more stock to use feed. Increase reserves, investments and feed supply. Store extra feed. Russia a far more accurate maD of the world than anyone now has. This could mean the dif ference between hitting and missing a U.S. city with a Rus sian intercontinental ballistic missile. A spokesman for Project Van guard said its scientists doubt Sputnik contains instruments which could have any practical value in revising maps. "This is only an opinion, how ever. We don't know," he added. "We do know that it is send ing coded signals of some kind. We don't know what it is send ing." These unexplained signals, the nreat weight of the sphere and Russia's secrecy about Sputnik's instruments and reports have left the question in doubt. No TV Cameras Aboard An official of the U.S. Na tional Committee for the Inter national Geophysical Year (IGY) said the possibility that Sputnik is spying cannot be ruled out. But he said U.S. experiments have demonstrated that it is very difficult to get much ac curacy in very high altitude infra-red "mapping." Dr. Joseph Kaplan, chairman of the U.S. National Committee, went further in an interview with U.S. News and World Re port published Monday. He said there isn't the "remotest chance'' Sputnik is gathering military information. He emphasized the inability of Sputnik to carry anything as big as a television camera. Why don't we ask the Rus sians what instruments Sputnik is carrying and what it is re porting? The U.S. official position is that Russia has promised to fur nish information in IGY experi ments and is expected to do so. The Russian delegation voted for a resolution at the rockets and satellite "conference here Oct. 5. the morning after Sput nik shocked the world, calling for full exchange of satellite findings and plans. New Moon Due Soon It was announced Monday that American and Russian scientists have agreed to exchange infor mation gathered on Sputnik. But the announcement appeared to limit the exchange to observa tions of the Red moon's progress through the sky rather than any data obtained from signals sent out by Sputnik. Russian scientsts have implied Sputnik's reports may not be disclosed. They said it was not launched as part of the IGY ex ploration of the earth's upper atmosphere. The next red satel lite, to be launched soon, will be an IGY project, they said. Some observers here, puzzling over the mysterious Sputnik sig nals, wonder whether this one is primarily a military gadget. RITES FOR NEGRO LEADER Louise, Miss.

The body of Thomas Jefferson Huddleston, owner of a chain of funeral homes and one of the state's leading philanthropists, will be interred in an elaborate copper casket in a solid copper vault.

Physician Joins in Menial Illness Fight Kansas City, Mo. W The family physician has joined the battle line against mental ill ness. The American Academy of General Practice points out that the general practitioner is now a vital cog in the fight against mental illness because he con tacts every segment of the popu lation. The family doctor enjoys "several strategic" opportunities not shared by psychiatrists and other doctors. The family doctor's closeness and confidence with the families in his community, coupled with the fact that he knows the pa tient's total environment and background, makes him the ideal answer to the manpower short age in the psychiatry field. Mental hospitals, according to GP, a publication of the acade my, are now moving into the stream of daily living instead of isolating themselves from Amer ican medicine. More Than 50 Said Dead in Spain Floods idencia, Spain IP More than 50 persons were reported dead and scores missing today in the worst flood to hit Spain in 60 years. The casualty figures were un official. Authorities said they still had no reports from some coastal villages that must have been among the wor.t hit bv the flood.
