Gloom at Somewhat Moon Rocket Plans Cane Canaveral. Fla. -UPD- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration reveal ed today it is studying plans to launch another moon rock et from the cape. , No date was indicated, but the brief announcement had the effect, of wiDing away a little of the gloom that spread among American missilemen with Russia's firing of Lunik III this week end. TI. S. scientists had hoped hn weeks aeo that the week end would see a satellite head ed for an orbit around the moon. The trick was accom plished - but with a bit of variation. The "U.S." with which they planned to mark the satellite became instead "U.o. S.R." signifying the launch ing of Lunik HI's 967-pound navload toward a- nrogram- med ciear-shaoed orbit around both moon and earth. Must Repair Damage NASA estimated that about five months would be requir ed to repair damage at com plex 12" on the cape. . "Complex 12" was the launching pad for the Atlas Able moon rocket that was s u pp o s e d to have carried America's own 375-pound sat ellite toward a lunar orbit sometime early this month. But the Atlas-Able blew up during a static test Sept. 24. The first and second stages of the four -stage rocket were destroyed and the pad itself heavily damaged. Plans Considered '' NASA said it was consider in ir Dlans "to conduct a simi lar exDeriment using other launching facilities at Cape Canaveral." The satellite re mained in storage, but a new moon rocket appeared to be, at best, several weeks away. Maj. Gen. Donald N. Yates, commander of the Air Force Missile Test Center here, had no immediate comment on the Russian shot. - Beaming Railroad Officials Apologize London-UPD-The "Red Rose Express"' pulled into Liver pool from London 27 minutes ahead of schedule, and Engi neer Harry Gore beamed from the cab while station officials stood around waiting for pas angers to offer their congrat ulations. . One irate passenger march ed up and complained that the train moved into a tunnel ap proach, - stopped, and just stood here for 17 minutes. "We were so taken aback we felt we just had to apolo gize." an official said. "What a life". .. DnferveirtDoi, on Pock If they succeed, it may pave the way for similar injunc tions to halt work stoppages in other Southern ports. Action to halt the pier tie up on both coasts under the Taft-Hartley Act was expect ed within two or three days unless there are signs of early settlement. General Counsel Stuart Rothman of the National La bor Relations Board planned to ask the five-member board for permission to seek an in junction to halt the New Or leans walkout. Hearing Would Follow If the NLRB gives Roth man a green light as expect ed; its New Orleans office will seek ; a temporary re Canaveral Erased by But one official said the fact that Lunik III was design ed to take and relay pictures of the moon's far side "really hurt" the morale of missile men here. : . - U.S. missilemen had hoped to get nictures of the moon's far side with their satellite. The Atlas-Able was the only vehicle -being prepared for the trip when it exploded. Thousands Forced Out of Homes in Southwest Flood Oklahoma City -OJPD-Floods ripped the Southwest today and thousands were homeless with no immediate end to the five-day surge of water that has kept rivers and streams at flood level. ' Tornadoes and torrential rains pounded a big area Sun day. J , : -At least six were dead, another missing and 65 in jured. '.' Flood waters injured at least 57 in Oklahoma, where five accidental deaths earlier were blamed on the weather. Texas reported one dead, one missing and eight injured. Missouri - also - was hit by floods. Tornadoes Hit Texas Eight tornadoes hit nine communities in Texas, and a twister destroyed a farm home in southern Oklahoma. Much of Oklahoma, Texas, Louisi ana and Arkansas spent Sun day night under alert for more possible tornadoes. National Guardsmen from Edmond, Okla., were called out to relieve Guthrie, Okla., guardsmen as flood waters from Cottonwood creek surged over West Guthrie for the third time in nine days and kept over 600 families from returning to their homes. The Arkansas river flooded again at Tulsa, Oklahoma's second largest city, and in neighboring communities. Oth er streams flowed out of their banks in other parts of the state. 8,000 Persons Affected ' The Red Cross estimated that flood waters damaged more than 1,000 homes in Oklahoma alone, affecting nearly 2.000 families, or more than 8,000 persons. Weathermen offered some hope that the flood-producing weather conditions might end. The forecast was for occasion al light rain or drizzle in parts of. Oklahoma today. But weathermen warned that more rainfall would make flooding even more serious. i u. iryflg JfBJJi !"VT- Stroke straining order from a feder al judge against the strike by the two ILA locals.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington -Correspondent Washington (Special) The Eisenhower administration is planning to take a hands-off attitude for jp&-i-" n& the .moment . I 4- a J T s ; J A K differences be t w e e n Gov.? Mark Hatfield and Sen. Rich ard . L. , Neu berger CD Ore.) concern ing the crea tion 01 a na- a. Boot, smith tional seashore on the Oregon coast. . . -1 .- This means that the admin istration will , not come out for or against 1 the pending bill sponsored by Neuberger for establishing a 35,000-acre seashore recreation area be tween Florence and Reeds port; nor will it take any stand on the proposal of the governor for creating such an area on the Clatsop Plains near Astoria. ; The National Park Service strongly favors . Neubeger's position. And a; National Parks Advisory Board, com posed of leading private cit izens, last April recommend i;; favor of the Oregon Dunes as a shoreline area which ought to be preserved under the park system. -Key to Aloofness But Secretary of the In terior Fred A. Seaton has nev er acted on the board's recom mendationand there in lies a key to the . adniinistration's current aloofness toward the dispute between the governor and the senator. Seatan and his top aides are convinced that the thing which has held back creation of national seashores, other than Cape Hatteras, has, been a mistaken approach. That ap proach has been to introduce bills naming specific shore line areas, where inevitably local opposition was voiced and succeeded in blocking enactment of the legislation. Wants General Authority What Seaton wants is gen eral authority,, granted by Congress, to go out and de termine where national sea shores should be established. He doesn't want Congress to specify where they should be. Consequently, Seaton fav ors his own proposal, sent to Congress in May and intro duced for the administration by Neuberger, which would autLorize him to establish three national seashores and to spend $15 million in ac quring land. That bill doesn't say where they would be lo cated. Once Seaton is granted this authority, he and his associ ates at Interior believe the door will be 'opened for the first time to the establishment of a string of shoreline areas as seashore parks, as money becomes available. He doesn't want to start with more than three for fear the cost would force a slowdown in the cur rent "Mission 66" program of improving existing national parks. More would come lat er.; " Oregon Area Favored Without doing violence to the principal of seeking un- specified authority, Interior APPLES officials have let it be known that they think highly of the Oregon Dunes area and that it would probably be among the first three selected by the secretary . if Congress gives him authority. But that was before Hatfield came out against it. Neuberger and other mem bers of Congress-take quite the opposite approach. They have introduced bills author izing seashores at specific places : in their Jiome states. They, want Congress, hot the secretary, ' to : decide . where these parks shall be located. Neuberger's. bill for the Ore gon Dunes is but one of sev eral in this category. Others cover shoreline areas -in Tex as, ' Massachusetts, California and Indiana: The Eisenhower adminis tration has" not . taken a po sition on these specific sea shore bills. Although Neu berger has Wen urging the Interior Department to come out for ;his bill, for Oregon Dunes; when hearings are held at Reedsport, the depart ment apparently will not make this move. Reports Customary It is customary for the ad ministration to file reports of its views on . pending . bills when hearings are held but not luring field hearings. "We'd "rather wait and let the people in Oregon have their -way before we submit our report," said a high In terior official. He denied that Hatfield had put any pressure on the department to prevent its filing a- favorable report Reportedly two reports were in preparation one favoring Neubeger's bill, and the other favoring only the administra tion's general authority bill. Unless there is a last minute change, it appeared that neith er would be presented in the Oregon hearings, Supreme Court Opens 59-60 Term Washington - (UPD - The Su preme court begins its 1959 60 term today confronted with a crowded" docket involving racial issues, labor - manage ment and Communist cases. After a brief, formal open ing session, the court planned to go into a week-long secret conference to determine which of the 300 or more appeals it will hear, r Results . of the conference will be announced next Mon day. The largest number of cases demanding the court's atten tion were in the field of race relations. The higli court al ready has agreed to hear argu ments in three racial cases. ICEBREAKER TESTED Moscow - (DPS - First tests of Russia's atomic icebreaker "Lenin" have gone off smoothly in the Baltic sea, the official Tass news agency reported Saturday.

He was commenting on Hag- erty's report made in Palm Springs, Calif., Sunday. Hag- erty in turn was commenting on a Macmillan statement that tne summit was ail set," ex cept for "the date, the place and the people. - Phillips, the Labor party's chief spokesman, said that "it was bad enough that he (Mac millan) should have taken the opportunity of President Eis enhower s visit to boost his government's and his own fad ing reputation.

Phillips said it was interest ing to notethat Hagerty said the U.S. still was waiting to hear from . Britain, France and West Germany before making any commitment to attend a summit conference. The back and forth on the summit has been the one time when foreign affairs issues have played a large part in an election campaign. The na tion goes .to the polls Thurs day to elect a new Parliament. Macmillan was reported to have said last week that the summit date would be an nounced in the near future. He denied Saturday - that he had said this, but added that the summit was "all set." Today, with public opinion polls predicting a neck' and neck election, outcome, Mac: millan appealed for a large Conservative majority to help him negotiate at the.summit. Asks for Big Majority Speaking - on an election tour in eastern England, he said "we are now approaching a most critical period in the relations between the Com munist world and the Free world. If there should be a tiny majority, or a stalemate in this election, or a small Labor majority, I assure you that will not enable us to play the role at the summit we hope to play."
