rn JV 11 liv Jvl 1W t i mam o)jTif fi'Tprg MI s Lodge OonfirEiis Soviet Theft of New York UPD U.N. Am bassador Henry Cabot Lodge Sunday indirectly confirmed a report that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchew bragged . in Los Angeles that the Rus sians worked with U.S. agents in breaking a secret American code and using it to get money from this country. A Los Angeeles movie ex ecutive, Victor M. Carter, had quoted Khrushchev as saying: "Your agents in Europe and the Middle East give up your code books and then we send false information back to you through your codes." ' Reserves Comment In Washington, a Central Intelligence Agency spokes man said that when CIA Di rector Allen W. Dulles was asked about the codes story "Mr. Dulles laughingly re served comment, but added that 'Mr. Khrushchev isquit a Dropagandist. isn't he'?" The CIA spokesman said that Carter reported his con versation to the intelligence agency. " ' - Carter s a i d Khrushchev also boasted the Russians had sent coded requests for money and gotten it. Lodge, asked about the story, would only say that he was present when the conver sation reportedly took place during Khrushchev's Los An geles tour. "I was in the car," Lodge said, "and I'm sorry, this is one of the things on which I Oregon Primary Law Criticized I Portland - (UPI) - Sen. Hu bert Humphrey (D-Minn.) crit , icized the new Oregon presi dential primary law today for allowing the names of "un willing" candidates to be put t.on the ballot by petition. He mentioned specifically the two - time - Democratic presidential nominee, Adlai Stevenson, and admitted that Stevenson's presence on the ballot "would tend to draw votes away from me if I'm on it, too." . . I H But Stevenson himself, he said, has been fair and has told him, "Hubert, I'm not a candidate. I wish you well." ;, Humphrey said he felt Ste venson's wishes should be re spected in Oregon and else where, although he conceded that Stevenson might accept a draft at the 1960 Demo cratic convention "if it's a serious demand." Bridge Construction Starts by County f.- Jackson county road crews today began reconstruction of the bridge over Little Butte creek just south of Browns boro, County Road .Engineer Paul Rynning reported.

It was pointed out that by not denying the report, Lodge in effect was admitting it was true. He replied: "It is against the best interests of this coun try to talk.' Read Same Reports Earlier in his American tour, in Washington, the So viet Premier had boasted to Allen Dulles that "we read the same intelligence reports" from the same agents. Meanwhile, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn sent letters to Senate Majority Leader Lyndon John son ,Tex.) and House Speaker Sam Rayburn (Tex.) demand ing an investigation of the boasts. He said that after bragging how Russia had bilked this country out of money, Khru shchev joked: "Why doesn't the United States send the money directly to Russia or save it and reduce American taxes?" Humphrey Sees Need for Vigorous Demo Leadership Portland -UPD- Sen. Hubert Humphrey, Minn., prominent ly mentioned for Democratic nominee for president in 1960, had a tightly-packed schedule today, on his five-day tour of Oregon. He breakfasted with the executive committee of the Multnomah County Central Democratic committee, then he went to Oregon City for luncheon with the Clackamas County Central committee, and returned to Portland to appear at a Southeast Port- 1 a n d Democratic Women s luncheon., At a special chowder feed in . Tillamook bunaay, ben. Humphrey said the Democrat ic party must assert vigorous leadership toward answering the great challenges confront ing the American people if a Democratic victory is expect ed in 1960. Touching on his visit in Moscow last, summer during which he had a conversation of nearly nine hours with Premier Khrushchev, Humph rey said: "As I have said before, Khrushchev is a disarming man, but he is not disarming the Soviet Union. He would like to see this nation relax and his nation persist. That is his way of weakening this country so he can achieve his aims of catching up and pass ing us. Man Shot by Stayton Police Dies .

The President at the time of Hagerty's morning news con ference was playing golf at the El Dorado Country club four miles from La Quinta where Eisenhower is vacation ing. The President was to meet with California Gov. Edmund G. Brown later today. Hagerty shrugged at reports the president before the day was over might invoke the Taft-Hartley Law in both ma jor strikes. The press secre tary said he would leave such reports with those who dis tributed them, and he con fined himself to an expression of Eisenhower's disappoint ment at the latest develop ment in the steel strike. After the announcement in Pittsburgh that the Wage oPl icy committee of the steel- workers union had rejected a settlement proposal by steel management, Hagerty told re porters: "The President wants me to express his keen disappoint ment that there has been no meeting of minds to date to settle .the steel sttrike through collective" bargaining;" r Hagerty also disclosed that the East Coast dock strike had been referred to the Pres ident by the Labor Depart ment. He would insist that this strike which is tieing up the ports of our country be set tled and settled promptly," Hagerty said.

Picking May Be Done by Oct. 10 'Pear picking in the Med ford district will be completed about Oct. 10, according to Don Berry, Jackson county extension agent. The outlook for the crop new is for good quality but a total packout substantially lower than last year, he said. The D'Anjou crop is all pack ed, and Bosc and Cornice pears will be picked in about 10 days, he. added. Industry representa t i v e s said the short crop in this dis trict is due in part to the ex cessive hot weather during July and early August, which had a tendency to retard growing during part of the growmg season. ' Pears grew to a good qual ity and condition during the cooler weather in late August and September, Berry said.

' 9 Flights To Mars, Venus Said Paved By New Success Cigar-Shaped Orbit Expected : Moscow (DPD The Soviet Union's third lunar rocket was almost two-thirds of the way to its targe today on a course that should swing it around the moon. A Russian scientist said it has paved the way for flights to Mars and Venus "in the immediate fu ture.". . 4 The Tass news agency said that by noon . Moscow time the "interplanetary space sta tion" had reached a distance of 154,100 miles from the Earth. The moon is approxi mately 238,000 miles from Earth.. The Tass announcement said data received from the rocket "confirm the high prer cision achieved in putting the rocket into its orbit." The Soviet press and radio hailed the success of the new lunar probe attempt and Russian scientists told the world : the Soviet . Union's space program was not aimed at establishing military bases at the moon. But one scien tist, M. N. Gnevyshev, laid a basis for future space tries with hi statement about the present effort paving the way for flights to Mars and Venus. A big question remained: Will the rocket circle the moon as is intended and pho tograph the as yet unseen far side? Tass said the rocket would reach its closest point to the moon at 6 a.m. p.s.t. Tuesday, adding that it will be 4,300 miles from the moon. . The Soviets had indicated that the rocket would photo graph the far side of the moon and transmit pictures of it back to Earth by radio signal. 2V2 Days of Travel When the rocket reaches the vicinity of the moon Tues day afternoon,; Tass said it will have taken about '-2 days, to cover the distance from Earth. . - This - is longer than . the time taken by either of the previous Soviet moon rockets - the first launched last Janu ary and the second last month. This is because the third rocket, launched Sunday mornine. has been given a slower speed so that it can orbit around the moon and return . in the direction of Earth, Tass said. The next progres report sent back today was to be re leased tonight. It said future reports on the movement of the rocket and the results of scientific observations would be releas ed once every 24 hours after each period of transmission from the rocket itself,, and af ter the data has been analyz ed. At the Jodrell Bank Ob servatory in England, Dr. J. C. Davies said interest there centered on what course the rocket would take if it passed behind the moon. He said it might return to Earth and burn up in the at mosphere, but that the Rus sians obviously hoped it would go into a long cigar-shaped orbit around the Earth and continue circling. Neuberger Sees State Recognition, Added Revenue With Seashore Park Newport Establishment of a National Seashore park "at last will give, the majestic Oregon seacoast the national recognition which it de serves," Senator Richard L. Neuberger told the annual meeting of the Oregon Coast association at Newport Sun day. Neuberger, the state's junior U.S. Senator, is spon sor of a Senate bill to create a 35,000acre . seashore recrea tion park in the Oregon Dunes area near Reedsport and Flor ence. It also would include the famous Sea Lion Caves. Magnificent Shoreline "Oregon has the most mag nificent shoreline in the na tion," Neuberger said. "Are we willing to see national sea shore parks set up in Texas, Massachusetts, Michigan and Indiana while Oregon is left out in the cold? National parks bring wide advertising, promotion and heraldry to ever state in which they are located. In August of this 'Clock Administration) Sapped for On Unemployment Washington -(DPD- The AFL CIO predicted today that an other recession will occur in the next few years "if the current drift of national eco nomic policies and develop ments is not halted quickly." The prediction was made before a special Senate com mittee which' opened an ex tensive investigation into why the United States has heavy unemployment in an era of general prosperity. ' Slow-Down Charged The labor organization charged that policies adopted by the Eisenhower adminis tration have .. "slowed down the advance of the economy" Property Line Problem Studied By Council Group The problem involving prop erty lines and fencing affect ing the Robert E. Crovette property at 300 Highland dr., will be discussed further by a city council committee and a decision reached before the next city council meeting, ac cording to Mayor John W. Snider. . Robert E. Crovette has com plained to city officials that a house being constructed next door to him on Keene Way is too close to the prop erty line to give him suf ficient jjrviacy. He has ask ed permission to build a fence at least six feet high between the two properities and has asked the city council to do something about the cloesness of the house, which he claims has lowered his property val ues.- .i-.'f.--. .... Council Committee The city council committee consisting of Mayor John W. Snider, Councilman Don Han sen and Robert Baccus in spected the site this morning. The new house apparently observes the set-back regula tion, Snider said. However, the neighboring house has been constructed so windows look down into the Crovette residence. An amendment to a city ordinance is now before a city council committee which would allow construction of a f-ont and side fence six feet high compared to the present limit of 4 feet. This would make Crovette's proposed fence legal. . Cause of Fires Under Investigation by State The southwest district of fice of the state department of forestry today was inves tigating the cause of two grass and brush fires Sunday after noon in the Foots Creek area. The blazes were about two acres and one-half acre in size and were near each other. The district office was noti fied of the fires about 4:45 p.m. ' . r year, units of the park sys- tem had their biggest month ; T;PfM. ' ' in history Neuberger told his audience that he had just received an economic report on the pro posed Oregon Dunes National Seashore from the Department of the Interior. This report, Neuberger continued, "dis closed that by the year 1990 income . to the area without the, National Seashore would be $8,256,000 but, with ; the National Seashore, would soar to $26,418,000.'? Neuberger re vealed that the chief consult ant on the report was Dr. J. Granville Jensen, chairman of the department of natural re sources at Oregon State col lege. v Would Increase Visitors Neuberger said the report forecast that the number of visitors to the Reedsport-Flor-ence area in 1990 under na tional seashore status would be double the number of visi tors to the area by that year ; Stolid -. - -. . and caused heavy unemploy ment in a period of general prosperity. . . But the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said "a certain amount of unemployment- it normal and ' inevitable." It said the government coujd not possibly eliminate all unem ployment "not is it feasible to attempt io do so." ' : The special Senate commit tee was created in the closing days of the recent congress ional session to study unem ployment. Andrew J. Biemieller, AFI CIO legislative, director, told the committee that adminis tration economic policies were "specifically designed to curtail economic growth and the creation of new job op portunities." New Recession Possible "; The policies represent, .a threat that the current upturn from the 1958 recession may be soon undermined and the basis for a new recession established," he said.. - - Biemieller said the fact that almost 3.5 million workers, or about five out of every hun dred, were unemployed in August "is one of the many sad commentaries on these times of government com placency." ' However, Walter D. Fack ler, spokesman for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, warn ed that "in seeking remedies to one set of problems, we must always be careful that we do not create others, per haps worse, problems." . He said the government pro grams often "turn out to be the worst possible long-term ventures." Israel Challenges : Arab Republic pi United Natiions, N. Y- JOT - Israel challenged the United Arab Republic today to nego tiate a Palestine settlement "any time and anyplace.'!: The challenge was issued in the U. N.. General Assembly by Arthur Lourie, chief of the Israeli delegation, after U.A.R. Foreign Minister Man- moud Fawzi said the Suez Canal would be opened , to Israel's shipping when the rights of the Palestine Arabs were recognized "fully and actually." : ;. - - . Lourie, Israeli ambassador to Canada, took the floor on the right of reply after Fawzi had denounced Israel and "po litical Zionism" and said "the original sin is the plunder of Palestine from the Arabs." Circuit Court Hearing Continued One Week The continued hearing on a show cause order jn connec tion with the Eagle Point Ir- rigation district's injunction suit against Howard and Ann Todd has been postponed to next Monday, Oct. 12. ' Circuit Judge Edward C. , Kelly, in whose court ' the hearing is being held Ex plained that other court busi- 0 ness has taken precedence. if a national seasnore were not established. "More impor- l 4- 4-U 4LA - A J ' laut man uic prujeciea num ber of visitors," Neuberger said, "is the economic report's o estimate that total annualore- 0 ceipts and payroll in the area, byl990, would be more thaji three times greater with the proposed national seashore park than without it. The &r port indicates that if the pro posed National SeasBore isjxi established the Florence Reedsport area wjll lose over $18 million income each So&r by 1990." Neuberger declared that he was "absolutely amazed and bewildered" by the vigorous opposition to the Oregon Dunes National Seashore voic ed by Gov. Mark Hatfiefd. "One might logically assume that the distinguished gover nor of our state would be pig ting forth every effort to se cure this park for us, rather than to discourage and down grade it," Neuberger added.-!
