Brothers To Get
Hospital Tests
Albany, Ore. (IT) Two
brothers charged with first
degree murder after they con
fessed to the knife-slaying of
a 57-year old Albany man on
Sunday were undergoing men
tal examinations at the state
hospital in Salem today.
Andrew Wolfe, 22, Spring
field, and his 20-year-old bro
ther, Philip, an airman sta
tioned at Larson Air Force
Base, Moses Lake, Wash., ap
peared before District Judge
Wendell Tompkins Tuesday
and heard a complaint charg
ing them with the first de
gree murder of Walter Callo
way Howell.
District Attorney Courtney
Johns recommended to the
court that the youths be taken
to the state hospital for an
examination to determine if
they are "mentally able to tell
right from wrong." Brown of
Salem agreed and the Wolfes
were taken to the state hos
pital Tuesday night t in cust
ody of Linn county Sheriff
George Miller.
San Antonio, Tex. (IP) The
first space traveler should
have a companion rather than
rocket alone above' the earth,
a doctor suggested after ob
serving the first three days of
a man's simulated trip to
outer space.
"A cabin which would sup
port a crew of two or more
a mutually dependent crew
would be more desirable for
future orbital flight," Dr.
George H. Steinkamp said
Tuesday.
Steinkamp, chief of the Air
Force's Department of Space
Medicine, has been watching
Airman Donald G. Farrell's
reactions as he "pilots" a
three-by-five-foot steel cham
ber simulating the conditions
of a flight into space.
Steinkamp indicated he had
reached his conclusion from
observing Farrell during his
stay in the chamber since
Sunday, but would not say so
specifically.
Steinkamp pronounced Far
rell "mentally keen" and do
ing "excellently" at the end
of the third day of his "flight."
He said there was no sign of
wear on the 23-year-old air
man's body or nerves..
The Bronz, N.Y. airman
pleased doctors controlling the
experiment by solving his first
space problem by making a
substitute for a forgotten
comb.
He taped toothpicks to a
piece1 of cardboard and then,
with evident satisfaction,
scratched his blond hair with
it.
Farrell has until Sunday
morning to remain in the
small airtight chamber. While
there he is under close obser
vation by scientists from the
Air .Force's School of Avia
tion Medicine to determine
whether man's nerves can
stand the strain and loneli
ness of a space flight.
PSYCHOANALYST DIES
London (IP) Dr. Ernest
Jones, 79, who introduced
psychoanalysis in the United
States, died Tuesday at a Lon
don hospital. A disciple and
biographer of Dr. Sigmund
Freud, Jones suffered a
thrombosis last June and a
retinal hemorrhage in one
eye last fall. He risked his
life in 1938 to go to Vienna to
persuade Nazi authorities to
permit Freud and his family
to come to Britain. He was
permanent honorary president
of the International Psycho
analytic association at the
time of his death.

NATO Nations To
Review Document
Prior To Delivery
Washington OP) Presi
dent Eisenhower is planning
to urge speedy East-West ac
tion on outer space and dis
armament problems in a new
letter being prepared for Sov
iet Premier Nikolai Bulgan
in, administration officials re
ported today. ,
The President's letter to
Bulganin is in the "drafting
stage, it was said, and will
be dispatched soon for pre
liminary consideration by
North Atlantic Treaty nations
prior to Moscow delivery. The
departure from the capital on
Tuesday of Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles and Thurs
day's scheduled departure by
the President suggested the
letter is almost ready to go.
Not To Budge
Officials said the Presi'
dent's letter will not budge
from the American position
that a chiefs-of-state "sum
mit" conference must be "ad
equately prepared" in ad
vance at lower diplomatic lev
els. But the role of a formal
foreign ministers conference
in such preparation is expect
ed to be minimized.
Dulles said Tuesday, how
ever it isn't essential" to
have a foreign ministers'
meeting in advance of a sum
mit parley. His statement am
ounted vto a green light to
the Soviets to begin pre-sum
mit talks through ambassa
dor channels in Moscow and
Washington. The Russians
have agreed upon the princi
ple of "thorough preparation"
but balked at a foreign min
isters meeting.
Chances Said Improved
Mikhail A. Menshikov, new
Soviet ambassador here, said
he hoped Dulles' statement
had improved chances for a
heads-of-government meeting.
"I believe that a summit
meeting will be organized,"
he said. "The sooner it is or
ganized the better it will be."
Redstone Test
Said Successful
Cape Canaveral, Fla.
(IP) The Redstone missile,
workhorse of the Army's
Jupiter C satellite carrier,
blasted into cloudy skies on
Tuesday night in an appar
ently successful test laun
ching. The 60-foot Redstone, a
200 to 300-mile range mis
sile already in operational
status, roared skyward
from the missile test cen
ter at 7:52 p.m. (EST), but
was visible for only about
30 seconds before it zoom
ed info a low-hanging bank
of clouds which spoiled the
show for scores of specta
tors lining beaches.
The roar of the ' Red
stone's 75,000-pound thrust
engine was heard, however,
for nearly three minutes as
the missile streaked out
over the Atlantic.
The Army plans to bring
field crews here soon to
test fire the Redstone as
part of the missile training
program. The Redstone,
built by the Chrysler corp.,
now uses a liquid propel
lant, but a longer-range ver
sion is being developed that
will use more powerful sol
id fuel.

Fraudulent Doctor
Given Jail Term
Portland (IP) Virgil L.

and ordered to pay a $500
fine on conviction for practic
ing medicine without a lic
ense. Weidner indicated he would
appeal the District Court jury
verdict to Circuit Court and
posted a $500 appeal bond.
He was accused specifically
of selling medicine to Mr. and
Mrs. Jack W. Gates who used
it on the face of their three-year-old
daughter, Debra Ann
to cure eczema. The child
now has a face infection.
Similar charges against
Weidner in 1956 resulted in
a six-month jail sentence and
a $250 fine.
The children were too fright
ened to jump and were found
huddled together in a clothes
closet, firemen said.
Several Fires
Other fires caused heavy
damage in several commun
ities around the nation.
Twenty-six firemen and po
licemen suffered injuries and
frost-bite fighting a stubborn
blaze in a Milwaukee, Wis.,
business section.
Fire swept through Young's
department store in downtown
Kansas City Tuesday, and
other blazes caused damages
totaling thousands of dollars
in Farmersburg, Ind., and
Louisville, 111.
Weathermen said a nearly
stationary high pressure sys
tem stretching from the Low
er Mississippi Valley into
Siberia was responsible for
the prolonged cold wave.
"Any quick change towards
springlike weather is quite re
mote," the Chicago Weather
Bureau said.
In the southwest, four in
ches of snow blanketed Wich
ita Falls, Tex., Tuesday night
and one inch of snow covered
Abilene and Dallas, Tex. The
Houston, Tex., Weather Bu
reau . said snow fell as far
south as San Antonio, Cotulla,
a town about 80 miles south
west of San Antonio, and
Houston.
Up-to three inches of new
snow was reported from the
Texas panhandle northwest
into Western Montana.
Warming Trend
Snow flurries also were
common in the Great Lakes
region and the Upper Missis
sippi Valley. The Upper Great
Lakes and Northern Plains
shivered in below zero read
ings for the fifth straight
night, but a "warming trend"
held readings slightly above
the zero mark in the Upper
Mississippi Valley.
In the South, freezing tem
peratures again were report
ed in the Gulf Coast states
with the exception of Florida.
Light rains prevailed in Flor
ida. Heavy rains, measuring up
to one inch, doused the North
and Central Pacific Coast.
Coldest spot in the nation
early today was Pellston,
Mich.,' with a 23-degree below
zero reading.
Light snow and frigid tem
peratures swept Eastern Col
orado and Wyoming, with
three inches of snow falling
at Laramie, Wyo. Up to a foot
of snow caused snow slides in
the Colorado mountains, one
of them blocking Red Moun
tain Pass between Silverton
and Ouray in the southwest j
part of the state. 1 I
