'Khrush' Slams Poor on Most Summit Issues Allies Cool to Idea of Nixon Taking Ike's Place at Summit Conference London (IfPD America's Eu ropean Allies are reacting cooly to the Idea of using Vice President Richard Nixon as a substitute at next month's summit meeting in Paris should President Eisenhower be called away. The British and French gov ernments so far have with held any official comment on : Eisenhower's stand-in plan.

Poor business throughout the coun try was given as a reason. Green fir prices showed weakening in some loadings and the cargo market for both fir and hemlock lost ground. Crow's reported. Sales con tinued to be spotty in dry dimensions. There was steady demand for pine area producers. Most of the weakness in boards was In 6, 8 and 10-inch widths. There was little trading in sanded stock as reported by Douglas Fir plywood mills with prices spread from $64 to $68. Sheathing activity was light. MAR jr Eft '. WITH BIFOCAL SHADOW!

They said it could put a crimp in the summit talks by making Russia feel the meeting was being "scaled down" in im portance by the United States. There has been no reac tion from Moscow yet, but this may be because Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev currently is vacationing away from the capital. Diplomatic sources here feared the Soviet chief might be prone to argue the matter. They remember the much publicized Khrushchev-Nixon "kitchen debate" while the vice president was visiting Moscow last summer and doubt that Khrushchev has any . great liking for his speech-making opponent.

Methodist Bishops Register Protest on Air Force Manual Denver IUPD The bishops of the Methodist Church reg istered a unanimous protest against "viciously false state ments" in an Air Force train ing manual which imputed Communist leanings to some leaders of the National Coun cil of Churches. They commended the Air Force for withdrawing the controversial manual with a "prompt apology." But they said it was an "incredible blunder" for a government agency to have published such "Noseless" charges in the first place. While vigorously defending the National Council of Churches against any sugges tion of Communist taint, the Methodist bishops warned that agencies and study confer. ences convened under the council's auspices should be ware of attempting "to speak either to or for the churches in a fashion that exceeds the limits" of their authority. This was an evident rebuke to the 1958 Cleveland World Order Study Conference, which caused sharp dissension among protestants by recom mending that the United States consider eventual rec ognition of Red China. The bishops spoke out in a Joint "Episcopal address" to Tornadoes Leave Three Persons Dead By United Praia International Tornadoes killed three per sons, injured at least 44 and ripped dozens of buildings in Oklahoma and Kansas Thurs day night. Bodies of the three dead were found today in tt"ir shat tered farm home near Crom well, Okla. At least 43 other persons were injured in Oklahoma and one in Kansas as twisters destroyed or damaged homes and farm buildings at Moore, Cromwell, Pocasset and Tut tle, Okla., and felled trees and power lines on the out skirts of Wichita, Kan. But 300 persons attending a band concert at the Moore High school escaped injury when a twister ripped the roof off the building.

Main issue before the con ference is a hotly disputed proposal to abolish the all Negro Central .Jurisdiction which some Methodists re gard as a symbol of segrega tion within the church. A special 70-member commis sion appointed by the 1958 General Conference will rec ommend that no basic changes be made in the present juris dictual set-up which, the com mission says, affords Negroes better representation In the top echelons of the Methodist Church than In any other bi racial denomination. Space Suits Soon To Be Unneeded Los Angeles -(Science Service)- A satellite with labora tory cells in which scientists can work without space suits might be put into orbit in 1985. It would be a step ad vanced from the Mercury program for orbiting a single man and a step forward to ward more ambitious space travel. Three engineers John W. Dorsey, Michael Stoiko and Gerald G. Kayten, all of the Martin company, Baltimore, Md., proposed such a satellite at a symposium sponsored here by the Institute of Aero nautical Sciences, The Rand corporation and the National Aeronautics and Space admin istration. The engineers said the 16 ton laboratory Is technically feasible. It would be capable of carrying four to six men. Fersonel would not need elab orate space suits because a healthy, balanced atmosphere would be suplied to the whole satellite. The satellite would be a double-shell, three compart ment cylinder. An outer shell, made of beryllium would serve as a meteoroidai bumper and thermal shield. Dorsey said the satellite could have biological and chemical, astro nomical and geophysical and medical laboratories. hint but only a hint of the magnificent perform ance it will deliver.

'a& dealer West's Pitch on Issue of Germany Already Rejected By STEWART HENSLEY Washington-d'PD-Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev has rejected In advance the West's principal summit conference pitch on Germany-a plebiscite in which the Communist East Germans could decide their ov n future. His rejection came In the ciurse of a long speech at Baku, in the Soviet republic ot Azerbaijan earlier this weok. But the full significance was lost in the - spot news concentration on his renewed threat to Impose another Ber lin blockade. Khrushchev now has slam med the door on virtually every Allied proposal on the major issues to be discussed at the Paris meeting next month-with the possible ex ception of a nuclear test ban treaty. Seek To Relax Tensions The adamant, Soviet atti tude represents one limit of the diplomatic playing field at Paris. The other limit is drawn by the fact that all four participants-Khrushchev, President Eisenhower, Brit ish Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and French Presi dent Charles de Gaulle-have a vested Interest in continu ing the "detente'-relaxation of tension which has held sway since last September's Camp David meeting. The four have no common ground for agreement but, on the other hand, all want to keep from heating up the cold war again. Between these two limits they will struggle at Paris with the titanic issues dividing East and West. Washington diplomats, who have their own way of mak ing book over pre-lunch mar tinis, figure the outcome of the summit conference Is as easy to predict as that of a professional wrestling match. See No German Progress They anticipate no progress on Germany or Berlin, a gen eral reaffirmation of the ne cessity to try harder on dis armament and possibly the initialing by the United States, Britain and Russia of the general outline of a nu clear test ban treaty. De Gaulle, who has just succeeeded in setting off France's first two atomic blasts, will not subscribe to such a ban unless the other nuclear powers agree to throw away their present weapons or work out a rigid system to control missiles and all oth er possible vehicles to deliver nuclear weapons. This is not about to happen. Diplomats believe the toughest job for the Big Four at Paris will be to work on a communique offering some hope of future progress on the knotty problems they face Khrushchev could blow this MEDFORD?

'Saucers' Said To Be Peculiarity Of Perception New York (Science Service) Most otherwise unexplained "flying saucers" are probably "afterimages," a peculiarity of perception well known to psychologists, Dr. Richard P. Youtz of Barnard College, New York City, reported to the Eastern Psychological As sociation meeting here this morning. You see an afterimage when you look at a bright object such as the sun or a photogra phic flash bulb and then stare at a bright plain field such as the empty sky or a blank wall. Sometimes the afterimage is the same color as the original object but sometimes it is a complementary color. Some times you see just one and sometimes a number of them. Color May Change Thus when a photographer takes your picture with a flash bulb, you may afterwards see a flock of bulbs floating or dancing around in front of you and the bulbs may be bright yellow or dark purple. The color may change as you look at them. You can help yourself to see the afterimage if you blink your eyes at a rate of about three times a second, Dr. Youtz told the psychologists, The descriptions of "flying saucers" received from eye witnesses could describe after images equally well. The "saucers" are of different size sometimes small as a plate and sometimes large as a city block. The size of the after image also differs according to whether you see it nearby or far away. If you see an after image on the wall of your room, it will appear larger than if you see it on a cloud at 15,000 feet altitude. Seams Faster The "saucers" may move at excessive speeds (but noise lessly). An afterimage seen on a cloud at 15,000 feet altitude seems to move with your eyes and thus appears to be faster than a jet plane. The "saucer" often vanish es "mysteriously" after two or three minutes. So do after images. The "saucers" may be of different colors and sometimes change color as do after images. The "saucer" has been reported to flash in the sun and flip around. The after image does this when you blink your eyes. "Saucers" are sometimes seen flying in for mation. After a bright flash, you can see images of several flash bulbs in a cluster. diplomatic prediction Into the Seine by again forcing the Berlin and Germany problems to the point of crisis.

Scientists Look For Old Antlers St. Paul, Minn. -lUPD-Those dusty deer antlers you've been meaning to take out of the attic and throw away could help scientists In their studies of radioactive fallout. The Minnesota Division of Game and Fish Is looking for antlers dating back to 1940. Scientists of the division want to find out if the deer are using calcium and strontium from the fallout in helping to build their antlers. Antlers from the pre-atomic era as well at those from more recent years are needed for tne study. Washington - ItPD - Counsel for Teamsters Preiident James R.

Titan Missile on Successful Flight Cape Canaveral, Fla.-IUPJ-The Air Force Titan intercon tinental ballistic missile, named to boost a Dyna Soar space glider Into orbit about four years from now, roared off on Its fourth consecutive successful test flight Thurs day. I The 3.000-mile shot was a ! real comeback for the 95-foot missile which was the object of ridicule and congressional criticism only three months ago. Until that time it had given nothing but trouble to the Air Force. Only 24 hours before Thurs day's shot, Titan received its first firm commitment for space duty-to lift this nation's ambitious Dyna Soar space glider Into orbit around earth in about four years.
