Menshikov also said he be lieved his American counter part, U.S. Ambassador Llew ellyn Thompson, "will cer tainly be invited" to make a television appearance in Mos cow. "It is difficult for me to say when he (Thompson) will ap pear and so on, but I don't think there is any difficulty for him to appear," Menshi kov added. Menshikov was on an American television program when he made the statement. He has been on telecasts in this country a number of times. Grants Pass Youths Curfew Violators Grants Pass (UPI) Work ing simultaneously, city and state police and Josephine county sheriff's deputies rounded up 41 teenagers early Sunday morning for violation of the state curfew law. County District Attorney Max McMillin said the youths ranged in age from 13 to 17. The bulk of the youths were picked up at a drive-in restau rant in the Grants Pass area McMillin said the purpose of the drive was to point up the state law which prohibits anyone under 18 who is un attended by parent or guard ian to be out between mid night and 4 a.m. The drive was part of a con tinuing program in the county against juvenile delinquency TheyH Do It Every Time i By Jimmy Hatlo If THERE'S ONE TUNG VER4ND4 WON'T STAKD FOR, IT'S THE YOUNG ONES USING A M4UGHTV WORD .

M. Varsavsky, brilliant young Argetine astrophysicist who is taking advanced stud ies at Harvard, started the ar gument by producing math ematical calculations intend ed to show that tektites are pieces of the moon. His idea was that meteors colliding with the moon chip ped off pieces,, which is most plausible. The moon is pock-marked with innumerable craters evi dently made by meteors It is logical to assume that colli sions of such force would have had to send parts of the moon hurling off into space. Varsavsk y's. mathematics showed how these pieces could have spiralled, even so slowly, down to earth. Dispute Theory But now come three dis tinguished scientists, includ ing Dr. Harold C. Urey, fam ous atomic scientist and Nobel Prize winner of the Univer sity ; of Chicago,, with argu ments designed to shatter his theory into pieces even smal ler than tektites. Urey objected chiefly on chemical grounds. Tektites are largely silica and alum ina. They are bits of rocks which evidently were made in extremely hot and long enduring fire. If tektites are moon pieces then the moon's fire-made rocks are quite dif ferent from earth's, which Urey thought most unlikely. The principal objection of Dr. Virgil E. Barnes of the University of Texas, was on the matter of distribution. Barnes, by the way, was the first man to identify a belt of tektite deposits in the Uni ted States. It is in Texas. If the theory were correct, he reasoned, you'd find tektites distributed in a wide belt furthermore, you'd find them in all the earth's layers of rocks because the spiraling of moon pieces would have been going on over eons of time. . .

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Luxor Most history books have a picture of the Temple of Karnak, but not so many show the Colossi of Memnon just across the Nile. They are two 69-foot gran ite statues one of which is re ported as singing at sunrise. The sound, described as a moaning noise, was first re ported in 27 B.C. after the then 1400-year-old statue was damaged in. an earthquake. It has been heard by many reliable observers in modern times. Some say it is due to the rush of air through tiny cre vices in the stone as a result of temperature changes caus ed by the sun. Others attrib ute it to a device installed by the priests who supervised construction of the statues that originaly guarded the en trance of a temple long since gone. After visiting the statues, we drove up the valley a few miles through an agricultural area where Egyptian fanners were working with domestic buffalo. . . , The domestic buffalo, like the camel, is not to be found on the wall paintings and scriptures of Egypt. The rea son probably is that they were not imported from In dia' until after the Pharoahs were gone. Very likely the first were brought in after Alexander the Great's con quest of western India in the late 300s, B.C. Buffalo Dangerous It seems strange the Indian buffalo has been so easily do mesticated when -the African hasn't been. In the wild state, the Indian, though a little smaller, is fully as dangerous. ' They are generally of a dark, slaty color with white fetlocks, thick-skinned as they are, their hide and a long, tuf ted tail are not enough to pro tect their hairless flanks from the flies. As a result they like nothing better than to stand in water with only their nose and heavy horns show ing. ' ' In addition to -being tre mendous workers they are among the strongest animals they give a milk that it said to be much richer than, cow's. Since they are widely used in southern Europe as well as Asia . and Africa, it seems odd that they haven't been introduced into the United States.

Cardinals Gather For Consistory Vatican City (UPI) -Cardinals of the Roman Catholic church gathered Monday for the first consistory called by Pope Pius XII in more than four years. A secret consistory and a public consistory 45 minutes later were being held to de bate the merits of two candi dates for sainthood in the church. The last consistory called by the Pontiff was on May ,20, 1954, when . cardinals and bishops approved canoniza tion of Pope Pius X. Today's consistory was ex pected to be devoted solely to discussion of the canoniza tion causes and the reading of 3u list of bishops appointed during the last four years. BUMS ASTONISHED New York (UPI) Harry Baronian, publisher of the Bowery .News, has introduced a new gimmick "to discour age: panhandling and stimu late -the latent urge in ; bums to go to work. Baronian, when accosted by - a "stem-artist" asking for a "hand-out" now gives them a pay packet en velope containing a dime and a card reading; "Why not ped dle the Bowery News?" The results to date ' have been an assortment of astonished glances. . ated groups in Indonesia, in Australia, "an the Libyan Desert, and among ancient rocks along a 120-mile strip through five Texas counties. And they're found in only a few of the earth's layers and these few are widely separ ated. This shows there has been no more or less contin uous rain of moon pieces or of tektites. Dr. Zdenek Kopal, astrono mer of the University of Man chester, England, objected to Varsavsky's mathematics. He granted that Varsavsky had constructed mass parti cles trajectories which could bring something from the moon to the earth. But if tek tites were chipped off the moon by meteors, the begin ning of their trajectories . to ward the earth would have been different than Varsav sky calculated, and the chips wouldn't have reached earth, Kopal said. In Kopal's opinion, the 7ri gin of. tektites "must be sought much . nearer to the terrestrial surface ' than the moon.". In other words, sci ence doesn't know where they came from, but they didn't come from the moon. ' Schooling Housing Problems Voiced Portland (UPI) Gov. Robert D. Holmes told the Oregon Intergroup Relations conference here Saturday that the public must be alerted to the tremendous discrimina tion problems in schooling and housing that lie ahead. The conference convened at Portland State College with State 1 Labor Commissioner Norman Nilsen presiding. Oregon's large - population growth in the next decade will foster discrimination prob lems, the governor said,- and even now such segments as the Klamath . Indian, the sen ior citizen and the migratory worker are running into re- strictions of their civil rights. "The chief function of the state is to educate people-in the law and not merely ad minister cold justice," Holmes said. "Government should take the leadership in devel oping equal opportunities for minority group citizens.".

Doria won $2,348, but much to his dismay he learned that on the original copy of his forecast he had results that would have brought him $131,200. A mistake in copy ing the actual forecast he sent in made the difference. India has 10 billion tons of iron ore reserves. 17 Builders Supply 5 QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Filial, Drain Tile 727 W.
