Elkins Refuses To Testify at Trial Of Thomas Maloney Portland HP James Elkins, the Portland gambler who start ed the city's vice controversy, refused to testify Thursday at the gambling conspiracy trial of Thomas E. Maloney. Elkins pointed out that he al ready has 10 or 12 counts pend ing against him and he pleaded self-incrimination under the fifth amendment. Elkins was asked whether he operated any after hours clubs in Portland in 1954 and 1955. He was the final wit nss in a day of testimony from former mayor Fred Peterson, former police chief Jim Purcell, and club operators H. E. Fergu son and Tom Johnson. Interference Charged Ferguson and Johnson both testified that defendant Maloney had attempted to interfere with their afterhours and bootlegging operations. Peterson, now a prac ticing pharmacist since his de feat in a mayoralty campaign, said that while he was mayor Maloney was introduced to him by Clyde Crosby, international organizer for the teamsters union in Oregon. Peterson testified that Crosby told him Maloney had helped former district attorney William Langley in his cam paign and could help Peterson. Purcell told the jury that Ma loney had tried to get him to go easy on some afterhours joints in the Negro districts of Portland, suggesting that enemies made in that area would not help Peter son's campaign for reelection. Johnson testified that Maloney offered him protection from po lice interference for a fee of $500 a month. E IWA, Employers Still Deadlocked Portland (Ut ' Negotiators for the International Woodwork ers of America and six major lumber industry employers in Oregon and Washington said to day that seven months of talks have provided no settlement of issues. An announcement said nego tiations had been terminated be tween the Northwest Regional Negotiating Committee of the IWA and the six major employ ers. However, talks were expected to continue between the IWA committee and the six employer associations on a separate basis. The two groups reached an im passe on May 15 of this year. Contracts expired July 1. Nego tiations since have been con ducted before Federal Mediator George V. Walker. Employers submitted Thurs day an offer to the union which called for renewal of contracts without change, and for settle ment of all outstanding industry issues concerning wages, vaca tions and pensions, subject to sat isfactory conclusion of unre solved district or local level con tract issues at the district or lo cal level. The union did not agree to the offer to renew contracts without change and objected to the sec ond on grounds it would force each local to fight its own battle on wage, pension and other is sues, according to Bly Haskins, Shelton, Wash., secretary of the regional negotiating committee.

Pasadena, Calif. 0? United States Army scientists, beaten in the race to launch an artifi cial satellite, now hope to win the race to find a tiny natural satellite orbiting several thou sand miles above the earth. Scientists estimate the value of such a hunk of rock per haps only 100 yards in diameter could serve as a "jumping off place for future space travel." Would Be Surprising Dr. W. H. Pickering, who is engaged in Army ordnance re search as head of the jet propul sion laboratory at California In stitute of Technology, said it would be "surprising" if one of the many asteroids which zip into the earth's section of space '"had not been captured by the earth as a satellite." "As a matter of fact," he said, "why go to the trouble of launch ing an artificial satellite if you could find a natural one: i The natural satellite search program is administered in Pasa dena by the U.S. Army Ord nance District of Los Angeles. The program's efforts recently were boosted before launching of the Russian satellite by moving search operations from the Army's White Sands, N.M., research center to a spot closer to the equator at Quito, Ecuda dor. Directed by Pluto Discoverer The search is directed by Dr. Clyde W. Tombaugh, discoverer : of the planet Pluto, existence of which had been shown in astronomers' calculations long before it was found at its pre dicted position in 1930. Astronomers are not certain such a tiny natural satellite ex ists, and Tombaugh admitted it is "like hunting for a needle in a haystack." But the Office of Army Ordnance Research be-; came convinced of the practi cality of such a search, in late 1953 and got, the project under way. Beyond the immediate scien tific knowledge that could be gained from mere observation of such an object, scientists de clare it could be used as a "way station" for space travel. "An asteroid about 100 yards in diameter would be ideal," said Dr. "John A. Russell, head of the USC astronomy depart ment. "It would save spacemen some of the time, expense and dangers involved in building an artificial space satellite station," he said. "It could serve as a fuel storage station until such time as science finds a fuel which is so potent that there no longer is the problem of having to carry a great amount of fuel on a space ship." It also would be a good spot to lo.cate various research in struments. Landing Would Be Difficult Planting the U.S. flag on such an asteroid outpost would be a ticklish job, Russell said. At several thousand miles from earth, the object would be orbit ing somewhat slower than the Russian satellite, which is much closer, but still at terrific speed. A space ship would have to match speed with it and jockey up alongside, although in space there would be no sensation of speed. Landing on it would be complicated by the fact that an object so small has such low gravity that even a light push -would send you-off it. But this could be solved by using grap pling lines and magnetic devices, Russell said. Distance Unknown If the Russian satellite has been observed visually why couldn't searchers easily spot a much larger natural satellite? For one thing, Russell said, a rough chunk of rock doesn't have the reflective power of pol ished metal. For another, scien tists don't know just how far such an object might be lo cated from earth. They hope to find one only "several" thou sand miles distant. Its speed will vary with its distance. Russell explained that search ers comb a small segment of space at a time at a pre-deter-mined distance and with tele scopes set to sweep at the same speed at which an asteroid would travel at that distance.
