Owens Wanls
Seat on Armed
Services Group
Portland - (UPD - Ex-Pvt,
Marv Owens, whose congres
sional opponent intervened to
help him win a quick Army
discharge, said here Friday
he would like a seat on the
House Armed Services com
mittee if elected to Congress
from Oregon's 1st district.
The young Democratic
nominee, who will reach the
Congressional age of elegibil
. Ity on his 25th birthday Oct.
14, arrived here with a four
point campaign program after
discharge from the Army at
iort ura, ualif., only; a few
hours earlier.
Owens told a press confer
ence he believed an etf-enlist-ed
man belonged on the arm
ed services committee. Owens
obtained his Army discharge,
under a special provision for
political candidates, only af
ter the Oregon congressional
' delegation, including his Re
publican opponent Walter
Norblad, spoke to Army Sec
retary Wilbur Brucker.
"I am grateful," Owens
told newsmen, for Norblad's
assistance in obtaining the
discharge.
Owens said he now was
ready ot launch a four-point
campaign against Norblad.
He called for elimination of
waste in national defense, fed
eral grants for water pollu
tion control, a medical care
program for the elderly simi
lar to the Forand Bill, and a
competitive two-party system
to defeat Norblad in the first
district.
Owens blamed the delay in
his discharge on the "honest
mistake" of a second lieuten
ant, who, he said, misread a
section of the Army code.
He said he felt Sen. Wayne
Morse, and Congresswoman
Edith Green, both Democrats,
were largely instrumental in
obtaining his Army release,
although he appreciated Nor
blad's efforts,
Owens, who still has a four
year Army reserve obligation,
said he would make his first
campaign appearance at the
state fair in Salem Wednes
day. He said he hoped to appear
on the platform with Demo
cratic presidential nominee
John F. Kennedy both in Sa
lem and Portland.

Washington - (UPD -The
IUnited States hopes to hang a
400-pound space station in or
bit aroufcd the moon late this
month.
Its job will be to maW ra-
fdiation, guidance, propulsion,
and communications studies
vital to the future of space
exploration.
For the first time in the
history of U.S. spacecraft, the
lunar, orbiter will carry rock
ets to correct its- course dur
ing the 2V4-day trip to the
moon.
The intention, according to
space experts, is to anchor the
craft in orbit around the
moon and leave It there for
as long as the contending
forces of gravity permit.
The lunar space lab will be
launched by the National
Aeronautics and Space ad
ministration from Cape Can
averal, Fla.
Atlas To Be Used
A three-stage Atlas-Able
rocket will fire it toward the
moon. Rockets built into the
spacecraft itself will correct
its speed and course in such
a way as to put it into a polar
orbit 3,000 to 4,000 miles
above the moon.
Hie space station will carry
thousands of solar cells.

Monkey Leads Police
On a Merry Chase
Portland - IUPII - A monkey
-apparently flattered by the
attention of her would-be cap-
turers - led children, dogs
and police officers on a merry
chase in north Portland Friday.
The rhesus monkey, "Chee-
chee," the pet of Mrs. Glenn
Heath, was first observed hop
ping along a row of parked
autos. As children and dogs
gathered, the monkey's ex
uberance climbed - and so
did the monkey, up to the top
of a television antenna where
she performed a variety of
acrobatics for her growing
audience.
Officers using ladders final
ly frightened the animal off
the roof, and a short time
later she was coaxed home by
her owner.
Mrs. Heath said the mon
key had escaped only twice
during the two years she had
been a pet of the family.
