' lm$'m&tMY i EAGER Russian readers crowd news stand in Moscow for the latest news of the two big stories of the day: The launching of a second Soviet earth satellite, christened "Muttnik" by the Western world because of its canine passenger; and the dismissal of Marshal Georgi Zhukov from his top Communist Party jobs. Report To Show U.S. Overseas Bases Must Be Kept Indefinitely Washington M A rop-sec- ret presidential mission, winding up a year-long global study, will report soon that the network of U. S. overseas military bases must be maintained for a long time to come, administration of ficials disclosed today. The special report will state, however, that some changes may be necessary in the operation of U. S. defense outposts. It will recommend new uses of some existing bases, a shift in person nel at others and a reduction in the acreage of some, informants said. The report is expected to be Oregonians 'See' Objects in Sky Portland (IP) As soon as it got dark Tuesday night hun dreds of Oregoias started watch ing the skies for strange signs and portents and the longer they watched the more tired their eyes became. Soon they were seeing things that weren't there and went promptly to the telephone to report them. Newspaper and police switch boards were busy night long with reports of celestial shenani gans that ranged from brown objects to orange ovals, all ap parently inspired by the Rus sians' two Sputniks and rumors of a Russian attempt to land one of its space objects on the moon. There was a report of a Buck Rogers-like space ship casting an orange glow over McMinn ville, a green glow over the west ern horizon, a blue object flying from west to southeast, and a brown ball with spokes about to collide with the moon. One man was sure he saw Sputnik's pup falling out the stratosphere. Police and sheriff's depart ments around the state patient ly recorded and checked out( each of the reports and sub sequently labelled them all with out i oundation. Jack Lowe, Portland civil de fense directors, put it simply: "People are imagining things." He said that "if anything of any significance had occurred pnvwhere in the United States, we would be alerted immediately. LONG BEDS Lafayette, Ind.

May Send IRBMs to Europe Secretary of State John Fost er Dulles, reflecting the forth coming recommendations, told a news conference Tuesday that "it would be desirable'' to sta tion intermediate range ballis 'tic missiles (IRBM) at European sites. This is one way the pri mary mission of some foreign bases might change in the years ahead. The United States does not yet have an operational IRBM but is testing two, the Air Force Thor and the Army Jupiter. The IRBMs have an effective range of 1,500 miles, compared with 5,000 miles for an intercontinen tal ballistic missile. (ICBM). Both this country and Russia possess ICBMs but only Russia claims to have one ready for tactical use. Defense officials say IRBMs stationed in Europe close to Rus sia would counter any lead the Soviets might have in developing an intercontinental missile. Studying Possible Moves Dulles also said the United States was giving active study to establishing a nuclear wea pons stockpile in Western Eur ope where it would be readily available in case of attack. Dulles rejected Russian lead er Nikita Khrushchev's claim that long-range missile develop ments have made U.S. bases overseas obsolete. A survey report on American bases is being prepared for the president by Frank C. Nash, for mer assistant secretary of De fense for International Security affairs. Nash began visiting Am erican bases in the Caribbean in April, traveled to the Far East in May, and then toured Euro pean and North African bases in June and early July. Sputnik II Code Declared Broken Alamogordo, N.M. (IP) A ranking Air Force officer dis closed today that a special scien tific team at the Air Force Mis sile (Development Center has succeeded in "breaking" the Russian code signals for Sput nik II. The announcement, in the form of a "leak" to local news men, said the signals "now are being monitored, interpreted and analyzed by the center's scientific staff." He indicated the information being transmitted was "very ba sic" in nature to the type of research the U. S: Air Force has conducted with respect to obtaining upper air data. One type of information being received by radio signal con cerned the heartbeat of the dog orbiting in Sputnik II, "as well as other physiological data." my COUGH is GONE! How About Yours ?

HP) Sight ings of a "brilliant white vapor trail which apparently started from the ground and traveled to the right of the moon" were re ported today by residents of four neighboring communities and law enforcement officers. Police said the vapor trail was sighted at 3 a.m. (p.s..t.) by resi dents of Centralia, Chehalis, Ro chester and Grand Mound. Po lice officers, state patrolmen, and Gus Lindquist, supervisor of the State Training School for Boys at Chehalis, also said they saw the phenomenon. None of the witnesses reported seeing any object which might have made the vapor trail. Authorities were unable to give any explanation of the phenomenon. COST OF SLAP Canandaigua, N.Y.

Sputnik II, Russia's dog carrying satel lite, flashed over northern Cali fornia between San Francisco and Monterey today shortly be fore dawn. The satellite was clearly visi ble. It alternated between pe riods as it pursued a course from southwest to northeast. The satellite appeared on schedule at 5:28 a.m. (p.s.t.) and took about three minutes to tra verse the sky. Observers who saw the satel lite accompanying Sputnik I said the new satellite was "about as bright." Today was one of three days the moonlet was to be visible in the San Francisco area. It was first seen Tuesday on the eastern horizon. It passed overhead this morning and Thursday it was expected to be visible low in the west about 5:42 a.m. Thursday morning may see a "triple feature." Sputnik II will pass overhead, there will be an eclipse of the moon and the Rus sians may just try to hit the moon with a rocket. However, Bay area sky watch ers may be in for a disappoint ment. The weatherman issued a forecast of probable rain for Thursday. Cloudy skies would prevent anyone hereabouts from seeing the spectacular show in the heavens. But if the skies remain clear, Bay area moonwatchers will watch the old familiar moon Thursday instead of artificial moons. Walter C. Marion, coordina tor of northern California moon watchers, said that moonwatch teams are aware that the Rus sians may try to land a rocket on the moon. "If it is fitted with a nuclear warhead, the flash would be vis ible" Marion said. "What it will do to the moon remains to be seen." An eclipse of the moon will begin in the San Francisco area at 4:45 a.m. The moon will be in total eclipse from 6:12 a.m. to 6:45 a.m. so Bay area residents 6:45 a.m. so Ba area residents will miss most of the moon's emergence. The Lick observatory pointed out that observing conditions here will be "none too good" since the moon will be low in the western sky during most of the eclipse.

Another , sighting of . Sputnik II was reported by the Air Force Rocket Testing station in the Santa Susana mountains, north of Los Angeles, at 5:27 a.m. A spokesman said it was "brighter than the brightest star visible in the heavens at that time." He said that the station tracked the satellite "a little more than two minutes." It was clearly visible over Spokane and Coeur d'Alene, Ida., and shone brightly for about two minutes.
