Kennedy Flails
Administration
On Housing Need
Coquille - (DPI - Sen. 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.

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.

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,

ect could have been irrigated

"In view of the limited

the potential Lost Creek or

other project which might be

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.

Hustler Jet
Bomber Explodes
Over Oklahoma
...
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.

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

The recovery attempt was
paramount in U. S. prepara

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
