Nixon Calls for
Civilian Control
Los Angeles OP) Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
has called for civilian control
of the nation's space program
which ho says must not be
limited to military needs or
thinking.
The vice president told stu
dents of the California Insti
tute of Technology Monday
military limitations on the
ipaceprogram would impede
a possible race for a break
through. "This is why a civilian ad
ministration is necessary,"
Nixon said. "It cannot be un
der military control."
He spoke at the school in
nearby Pasadena after a tour
and a briefing at Cal Tech's
j e t propulsion laboratory,
laboratory, where scientists
develoDed the nation's first
successful satellite, Explorer I
Credit Said Lacking
Nixon, here on. his first visit
to Southern California since
1956, said he felt the labora
tory and its personnel had not
received enough credit in the
development of the artificial
moon.
The vice president said it
was "tremendously important"
to stress the civilian role in
the space program to convince
the world -that the nation's
ultimate purpose was for
peace not war.
Nixon said conversations
with Cal Tech officials about
a possible trip to the moon
was classified but added that
the government was consid
ering a "number of projects"
to further explore outer
apace.
President Sukarno and for

head off bloodshed in Indone
sia's growing revolt.
Leaders of the recently
formed rebel government
have promised to call off the
rebellion if Sukarno will
agree to cooperate with Hat
ta, who resigned last year in
disagreement with Sukarno's
Communist-like concept of a
"guided democracy."
Antara said the prospect of
a meeting between the two
most popular men in Indone
sia was announced by Parlia
ment member Ahem Erning-
pradjo. Erningpradjo heads a
nine -member committee as
signed by Parliament to bring
Sukarno and Hatta together
to resolve their differences.
However, reports from Su

Heavy Death Toll
Reported as Fires
Take Many Lives
By UNITED PRESS
Sub-zero winds howled into
the snow crippled Northeast
today and punched deep into
Dixie, piling new hardships
on the winter-weary eastern
two-thirds of the nation v
Tragedy marched hand-in-hand
with the bitterest weath
er of February's marathon
cold wave, claiming a heavy
toll in multiple fatality fires
and in deaths from exposure
over-exertion and .traffic ac
cidents. . " .
At least 131 persons have
been killed in the latest blast
of wintry weather which be
gan during the week end. New
England counted 32 deaths
and Pennsylvania, Mississippi,
New Jersey and Georgia re
ported 20 victims each.
Flash Fire Kills
Among the Georgia victims
were 11 children and a moth
er of four of them who wer
killed Monday night when ;
fire blamed on a radiant heat
er engulfed their two - unit
apartment house in Atlanta
The latest deaths brought
to at least 347 the number of
fatalities blamed on the
weather since a cold wave in
vaded the Midwest Feb. 6 and
began its sweep from the
Rockies to the Atlantic.
The storm marooned hund
reds of persons in trains and
cars stalled by towering snow
drifts, isolated scores of rural
residents, forced schools and
industries to shut down in the
Northeast, the Midwest and
South, and interfered with the
work of Congress.
State of emergency were in
effect in snow - paralyzed
Springfield, Mass. and Michi
gan City, Ind. and in fuel
short Hunstville, Ala. Gov.
Theodore McKeldin declared
legal holiday today in
snow-covered Maryland.
Maryland was buried under
a snowfall of up to 19 inches,
including a 16-inch blanket at
Baltimore, the heaviest in 16
years. In Massachusetts, state
officials estimated it would
cost $1.5 million to clear
roads.
Government Workers Off
All government workers in
Washington, D.C., were given
today off in the wake of a
14-inch snowfall, the biggest
in 22 years, and near zero
temperatures. Corridors were
empty in government build
ings Monday and less than 100
of the 431 House members
showed up.
In Michigan City, hit by a
freak 42-inch snowfall, some
70 pieces of snow removal
equipment fought to free the
city, but ran into the problem
of what to do with the snow,
already piled into small moun
tains along the sides of roads.
Fifth Army headquarters in
Chicago pressed a helicopter
into service late Monday to
rescue 21 Boy Scouts and six
adult leaders trapped, in deep
snow near Westville, Ind. The
boys had been snowbound
since Saturday and ran out of
food Monday morning.
Helicopters also were used
in Pennsylvania, lashed by its
worst snowstorm in 20 years,
to remove two boys requiring
emergency treatment to hos
pitals.
Heroin Wholesaler
Held at Portland
Portland (IP) Federal nar
cotics agents and city vice
squad officers Monday ar
rested a Portland service sta
tion operator suspected of be
ing one of the "biggest heroin
wholesalers" - in the North
west.
Clarence H. Criss, 40, was
secretly indicted by a federal
grand jury and then served
with two federal warrants
charging illegal importation,
sale and possession of heroin.
He was held in S10.000 bond.
Officers said they believed
Criss had been operating in
Portland and Seattle the past
two years but he had no
known police record and was
not a user of narcotics. He
apparently dealt only with
peddlers and not with addicts
themselves. The federal in
dictments said Criss sold un
dercover agents one-and-one-half
ounces of heroin. There
are 438 grains of heroin to an
ounce and 4 sales have been
made at retail for as high as
S5 a grain, according to nar
cotics agents.
