ENJOY GENUINE CHARCOAL BROILED FOODS In the CANDLE ROOM at the Medford Hotel A J Daily -:-rZy 4fo11 ""Sv 'jgT Sunday Monifly, My 27, 1958 Effort Urged To Be First To Make Planet Flights Washington HP) The National Advisory Commit tee for Aeronautics proposed today the United States make an urgent effort to be first in sending men on flights to the moon and nearby planets. The NACA is the govern ment's top aviation research agency. Its chairman is Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle, World War II hero and scientist. Warning of Russia's chal lenge, it said "development of manned satellites and the travel of man to the moon and nearby planets," is vital to U.S. prestige and de fense. It called for a mobilization of government, science and industry to achieve the goal. The NACA rejected the idea that either tne Defense Department alone or any new civilian agency take on the job alone. It proposed instead that its own multi-million dol lar reasearch laboratories in California, Ohio and Virginia be expanded and its 7,900 man staff increased to handle the research and develop ment to put this country in the forefront in interplane tary exploration. The NACA outlined its program simultaneously here and in New York. Dr. Hugh L. Dryden, NACA director, said, in a speech pre pared for the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences in New York that America's present space research is t "far from adequate." . "Our rate of progress in solving the problems of space flight must be very greatly increased," he said. Soule Trial Set To 60 To Jury Redwood City, Calif. (IP) The sanity trial of convicted murderess Elaine Soule is scheduled to go to the jury today and the jury is to de cide but one issue. Superior Judge Frank B. Blum ruled that the jury must determine only whether the 20-year-old Freeport, N.Y. typist was legally sane when she killed her roommate with a flat iron and a kitchen knife last July 24. During Friday's session, the judge barred the jury from considering whether Miss Soule should be treated in a hospital or a prison. The same jury found Miss Soule guilty of second degree murder last Tuesday for the slaying of Catherine Elvins, 19, daughter of a prominent Seattle physician. It is now hearing her plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. La Grande Attorney Said Suicide Victim La Grande (IP) Howard E. Dixon, 57, La Grande at torney, died here Saturday and the coroner's office called the death a suicide. Dixon had been in ill health and was despondent. The body was found by the widow in the garage of the Dixon home and authorities said death was caused by a self-inflicted gun shot wound.
