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. (IP) Purdue
university has come up with the
answer to at least one of the
problems of its taller male stu
dents, including some basketball
players. The beds in the specious
new dormitories are seven feet
long.
OLD ANCHOR

floor six miles off here, 17-year-old

ered a 750-pound anchor be

tury old.

hower in about two weeks.
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."

Mysterious Vapor
Trail in Washington
Centralia, Wash. 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. HP)
What is a slap worth? A Su
preme Court jury awarded
Ralph B. Horandt six cents in his
suit against William W. Muar.
Horandt claimed Muar slapped
him. The judge slapped Muar
with $85 in court costs.
Russia's Dog-Carrying Satellite
Seen Over Northern California
San Francisco (IP! 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.
Some 50 to 60 observers in

San Francisco, reported sighting
the satellite at approximately
the same time as a "bright and
clear" star crossing the sky.
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.
