I do not think it makes any sense to continue our self- imposed ban on all nuclear tests, and we ought to lift it immediately, ' f Let' us stop deluding our selves with the hope that this sacrifice will persuade the Kremlin to agree to foolproof International nuclear control and disarmament.

John T. Kennedy (D-Mass.) Friday night accused the Republican administration of failing to provide for the need of the essential housing industries in United States. - . Kennedy told a Coos coun ty . Democratic' dinner hert that the administration's sup port of a high interest, low growth economy , is endanger ing the market of "vitally needed homes." Dangerous Block'.' The hard money poHcy-fT thia administration, which is providing an ever - increasing rate of interest for small busi nesses and small homes, is serving as a dangerous block to development," the Senator declared. . . "There are 17 million Amer ican homes today which are sub-standard,' he continued. "Hundreds of thousands of families are looking for new places to live." . V Kennedy also accused the administration with "neglect ing" the Urban Renewel pro gram. He said Congress must move ahead on making more rental housing for elderly, people available. Kennedy said "200,000 new housing units 'would produce more than a half million jobs and markets for ZVt billion feet of lumber and 400,000 tons of steel. Pendleton, Ore. ttTPD Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) urged new starts in federal hydroelectric projects in the Pacific Northwest at a press conference here Saturday. The Massachusetts senator said the Northwest cannot stand much more of the "sev en years status quo" of no new federal power projects. WEATHER FORECAST: Fair today and Monday. High today 5.

J31 Half-Million Russians March Red Square in Observance of Revolution Moscow - (CPU - A half-mil lion Russians, mostly civil ians, marched in Red square on the 42nd anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution Sat urday in a -parade stressing peace and prosperity. The military portion of the parade was the smallest in the history of the celebration. No Planes or Missiles . White doves, symbols of peace, flew over the vast square where Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and other So viet leaders watched the 3V4 hour ceremony. . The military display took only 26 minutes and there were no planes, Galls our security and possibly jeo pardize the peace. Prefers Peaceful Use ' I do not like to think of nuclear testing in terms of military application only and. of course, I would prefer that we concentrate all our efforts on the peaceful development of the greatest potential source of energy so far dis covered by man. But as long as there is open international lawlessness in the making of weapons, then we have an ob ligation to keep ourselves militarily strong. Scientists have found that important nuclear tests can now be staged and controlled underground with all the fall out sealed in. Whatever risks of further contamination of the atmosphere from fallout there may be from tests in the open, there seems to be no longer any valid reasons for stopping experiments under ground. Not Always Detectable , I am informed by scientists that underground nuclear ex plosions are not always detec table and may be mistaken for earthquakes. That is all the - more reason why we should not handicap our selves unilaterally at this time. We have to have more verifiable 1 assurances than mere declarations Dy me Communists of what they are doing and what they intend Ho do. This is why we ought to re- sume maxing underground tests without any further de lay. : ;i .:.t X-regard as- a. constructive approach, to international co operation the recent sugges tion of British Foreign Secre tary Selwyn Lloyd that the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union hold a joint ser ies of underground nuclear tests. . Favors French Invitation I do not see why France ought not be invited to take part in such joint ventures. From all indications, .France is about to take her place as a nuclear power and I think that this is all to the good. I, for one, am glad to see that a nation that has been for so long so valiant a champion of freedom can become - a stronger ally for peace. We -ought to be pleased that France is reaping the fruits of the invaluable contribu tions her scientists have made to nuclear research. ; (Continued on Page 6) Trespass Problem Due for Discussion The timber committee of the Southern Oregon Conser vation Tree Farm association will discuss Christmas tree trespass problems at a 7 a.m. breakfast meeting at the Jackson hotel Monday. The main discussion topic will be plans on how the asso ciation can effectively prevent trespassing on its members' land. Dick Swan of Ross Lumber company is chairman of the committee. Timber owners from sou thern Oregon have been in vited to attend the meeting, SOCTFA officials announced. New Delhi (UPD Communist Chinese troops are preparing winter quarters eight miles from the Indian-held village of Chusmil in the Ladakh sec tor of Kashmir, official sourc es have reported. missiles or tanks shown. The only new weapon paraded was a four-wheeled army rocket launcher. It was a far cry from the massive military muscle - flexing of past anni versaries. Later, Khrushchev gave a reception in the grand palace of the Kremlin attended by Soviet and foreign dignitaries. To Fulfill Duly The speaker of the day, De fense Minister Marshall Ro dion Malinovsky, omitted the usual statement that the Red army was prepared to crush aggressors. He said only that the armed forces were ready ' . . . A Thick, Poisonous Blanket Of Oxygen And Strontium 90 Utterly Precludes the Possibility Of Life On This Particular Planet" C n Engineer Sees No Reason for Agate Da m I n te rf e re nee - Col W. L. Winegar, Port land, district engineer of the U. S. ; Army corps of engi neers, has reported that ne sees no reason, from an en gineering standpoint, why au thorization and construction of Agate dam and reservoir would have any effect on pro gress of other water projects in this area. , : ... i He also revealed that Agate has been' excluded from the corps studies of potential ba sin water development. Colonel Winegar, who has been in charge of the corps' studies of proposed develop ment of the Rogue River ba sin, gave this view in a letter to Don Lane, secretary of the state water resources board. He entertains a similar be lief about the proposed Mer lin and Sucker creek projects, all of them proposed or under study-by the bureau of rec lamation, he told Lane. Still Studying Basin The corps of engineers is still engaged in a study of the Rogue basin, and has not yet completed its final report. However, the three reclama tion projects, Agate, Merlin and Sucker creek, have been proposed for authorization and construction at an earlier date. Some proponents of over all basin development have declared that such action might imperil broad develop ment of the basin's water re sources, from either an engi neering or political stand point. Colonel Winegar's letter said: "Based on data furnished by the (reclamation) bureau, the relatively limited acreage of lands under the Agate proj ect could have been irrigated by the use of stored water from the potential Lost Creek and Elk Creek reservoirs Sports Bulletin Ashland Southern Ore gon Collage Red Raiders came to life in the fourth quarter with four touch downs to score a 34 to 6 victory over Estern Wash ington College of Education in a football game here Sat urday night. Score at the end of the third quarter favored SOC 7-0. to fulfill their duty, if neces sary. In his 15 - minute address Malinovsky said the. armed forces had to be prepared for "the reliable protection" of the country as long as foreign (American) bases ring Russia. Past Events Stressed In the framework of the current "Spirit of Camp Da vid" resulting from Khru shchev's visit to the . United States, Malinovsky also stress ed "the most important events of the recent pat" including Soviet space rockets and the launching of the atomic-powered ice-breaker Lenin. isei tt. in ruiuui rmimm St Us atf-Otaaatck under study by this office. Our studies, however, have ex cluded the Agate acreage be cause of . the bureau's prior recommendation for that proj ect. . . "In view of the limited acreage involved, I see no rea son, from an engineering standpoint,' to believe that authorization, v. and : construc tion of the Agate Dam would have any " material effect- on the potential Lost Creek or Elk Creek projects, or on any other project which might be studied by this office. Outside Economical Areas "Lands under, the Merlin and Sucker Creek -projects, would be entirely ; outside areas which might be irrigat ed economically by use of stored water from any reser voir under consideration by this office. Preliminary stud ies in this office have indi cated lack of economic feasi bility for single-purpose flood control storage projects in the Merlin and Sucker Creek areas. "Thus, I see no reason from an engineering standpoint to believe that authorization and construction of either the Mer lin or Sucker creek projects, or both, would have any ad verse effect on any project under study by this office." Darn, Fish Screen Planned at Talent Medford irrigation district is planning to construct soon a new dam and fish screen at Talent where water is divert ed out of Bear creek, accord ing to Jack Hoffbuhr, district manager. River Bend Construction company, Portland, is the con tractor for the project. The new fish screen will be approximately twice as large as the old one, Hoffbuhr said. This is necessary because of the additional capacity to cover water from the Talent project. A partial flume will be con structed, Hoffbuhr explained, to measure the amounts of water bypassed. The district does not have such a partial flume in that spot now, he added. May field Returns From European Trip Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield, superintendent of Medford schools, arrived in Medford Saturday afternoon after a month-long trip which took him to several European and Russian cities. He participated in an edu cation tour of Europe and Rus sia where he visited school of ficials and points of interest.- Dr. Mayfield also attended a national meeting of school administrators in Chicago aft er his return from Europe. He was met at the airport by Medford Mayor John Snider. . Washington-flJPD - President Eisenhower has formally an nounced the appointment of veteran diplomat Walter O.

Two Crewmen Die In Test Flight Lawton, Okla. - (UPD - A $10 million supersonic Convair B-58 Hustler jet bomber cracked the sound barrier and exploded "like a skyrocket" over Lawton Saturday killing two crewmen making a test flight. One of the bodies was found 14 miles west of Duncan, Okla., about 26 miles south east of Lawton. An unopened parachute was found nearlJy. The second body wa9 found in a 25-foot piece of fuselage that missed a farm house south east of Lawton by only 200 yards. Testing New System The two civilian-employees were testing a "new type sys tem" aboard the bomber. Con vair declined to go into de tails. The bodies were identified as Donald Arthur Siedhof, 25, Fort Worth, a test flight en gineer, and Raymond Fitz gerald, 35, Sweetwater, Tex., chief pilot for Convair. A Convair official said the company had a tele-metering device aboard the plane and was in constant contact to it from the ground up until the instant of the explosion. The official said the com pany would try to determine the cause of the blast through the data collected by the de vice. Showered' Wide Area Eye witnesses said the plane had exploded with such force it showered a wide area with minute particles of debris. The largest piece found measured approximately one foot by three feet. Investiga tors at the scene said wreck age Would probably be found scattered oyer a 20 to 25 mile area. " Convair estimated the plane exploded at - 45,000 feet or even higher. . Two men said they saw the plane trailing fire just before the blast. Several persons said it had just cracked the sound barrier. Convair officials said the Hustler does not carry nuclear bombs. Ashland Girl Said Recovering Portland - Seven-year-old Renelle Thompson of Ash land, who under went major heart surgery at the Univer sity of Oregon medical school hospital Thursday, was re ported "responding normally" Saturday. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Thompson, she underwent open-heart surgery to close an aperture the size of a half dollar, believed to be the largest such gap closed during an operation at the medical school hospital. It took a surgical team about four hours to perform the operation. The heart was stopped about 15 minutes, with a mechanical heart pumping blood . through her body. Although the operation was considered a success, the girl was on the critical list for 72 hours, which is normal after major surgery of that kind. The ventruclar septal de fect, a common condition in a congenital disease, does not permit the blood to absorb oxygen properly, a doctor said, and could be fatal if not corrected. Oregon Schools Study Scheduled Portland - (UPD The Legis lative Interim Committee on Education, backed with an ad ditional $25,000 from the State Board of Education, has indicated it will study not only a solution to the state's school finance problems but also the quality of public schools in Oregon. - The committee will tackle curriculum,' teacher utiliza tion, personnel practices, and the quality of education it self. A group of about 35 persons appeared to protest the 1957 state school reorganization law. Most members were from the David Douglas district east of here, recently consoli dated, and others came from Salem and Silverton.

Discoverer Into Orbit; Recovery Vandenbere Air Force Base, Calif. (UPD - The "weath erproof Discoverer VII satelr lite, carefully, groomed for a significant U. S. scientific breakthrough, roared into or bit Saturday. . The goal of the shot is to recover a 310-pound capsule' from the 19-foot long satellite, Irrigation Elections Set Two of five irrigation dis tricts in Jackson county will hold elections for board menu bers Tuesday, Nov. 10. Ed Greenwood and Elbert Bigham are running for re election in Eagle Point; Greenwood to fill out the one year left in J. H. Stanley's unexpired term, and Bigham for a three-year term. Oppos ing Greenwood is Gus Olson and Paul Conrad is running against Bigham. The election will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Gospel Mission church in Eagle Point. Harold Compton, Hillcrest Phoenix rd., has filed against incumbent Medford irrigation district director Paul Culbert son, running'for reelection for a three-year term. This elec tion also will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the Med ford irrigation district office on Barnett rd. Incumbent directors in all other districts filing for re election by the Oct. 24 dead line were unopposed and were reelected by unanimous resolution of their respective district boards. They are Ho mer Moore, Talent irrigation district; Otto Bohnert, presi dent of the Rogue River Val ley Irrigation district board, and Lester Parker of the Gold Hill irrigation district board. All have been reinstalled for three-year terms. Spokane Woman Brutally Beaten Spokane, Wash.-OJPB-A 28-year-old housewife - was bru tally beaten in an apartment here Saturday. Mrs. Gloria Brie, still un conscious 12 hours after the vicious attack was found by her husband who had left their apartment shortly after 4 a.m. and returned with a hunting companion half an hour later, police said.

London (UPD Western diplomats Saturday pinpoint ed the month of May as the likeliest time for an East-West summit Conference. VII Goes Capsule Planned after the satellite has made 17 passes over the earth's poles. ..The ; recovery attempt, ' j700-to-l shot at best, will be made this afternoon by planes and ships in a massive "ball park" in the Pacific ocean, southwest of Hawaii. rne near-iantastic recap ture attempt will be made 27 hours from the time of launch, according to calculations. Unlike previous satellites in the program, the Discover er VH has been weatherproof ed with special equipment, in cluding heaters, y insulation and absorbative paint. This was done to keep tiny mer cury batteries warm. The bat teries, which should cause the parachute to pop open at 40,000 feet, apparently did not operate in two previous Discoverer shots because It was too cold. - The Air Force announced that orbit had been achieved three hours after the.Thor boosted Discoverer Vn arched into the sky at 12:28 p.m. (PST). The recovery attempt was paramount in U. S. prepara tions for the : shot, although the fact the satellite entered orbit is in itself regarded as a particular success. It would be the first recov ery of a man-rmade object from orbit - "the most sig nificant achievement to date in space," Air Force officers said.

McDonald ordered his men back to work Saturday and America's major steel plants prepared to resume produc tion halted by the longest steel strike in history. U.S. Steel Corp., the world's largest producer, said it would be "several days" before all employees could be called back. The company asked its workers to remain home un til they are contacted? indi vidually. Comply with Ruling Miles apart at the contract table, union and manjtement moved quickly to comply with a u.S.

Jones & Lauehlin Steel Corp. immediately start ed recalling maintenance and supervisory personnel. U. S. Steel Corp., Bethle hem Steel, Republic Steel and others alerted maintenance men to stand by for an early recall to work. Unionists Opposed ' t USW members here in the nation's steel capital generally were opposed to the Supreme' Court decision. "The government can force me "back to the mills, but no on not even President Eisen hower or the courts can make me say that I'm happy about it," said John Ikat, a U. S. Steel employee. Another U. S. Steel em ployee, Ed Pavlan, said the injunction was "just a shrewd move to try to break the union." The 80-day cooling off per- v iod will not be a quick cure for shortages and layoffs. Dur ing the early days of the strike, McDonald said his men would walk out again at the end of the injunction period if a settlement is not reached. Industry experts predicted that at least 40 days will have passed under the cooling off period before full production can be attained. Peak Searched for Japanese Climbers' Katmandu, Nepal - (UPD -A Nepalese search plane with a cabinet minister aboard, cir cled the rugged Himalayan peak of Gauri Shanker Satur day but failed to find any trace of 32 members of a Jap anese expedition missing in a bid to scale the 23,440-foot mountain. The Nepalese government also ordered ground rescue parties to the peak, which touches on Red China, to search for the climbers who were feared to have been hur ried by an avalanche or swept away by high winds. The first search plane, a C 47, flew at 19,000 feet and within three-quarters of a mile of the mountain, officials said. It made six trips around the peak near the area where the expedition was to have set up a camp. Ohio State 0.
