G Man Nabbed in Plot To Kill Khrushchev Attempt To Take Makeshift Bomb Over Fence Foiled New York -IUPII-A 22-ytftr-old man was captured early today trying to sneak into the sealed-off United Nation grounds with a makeshift bomb in a drunken plan to kill Soviet Premier Nikita S Khrushchev. "I was only after Khru shchev, nobody else but him," Richard Hogan told newsmen after his capture. "He is insulting the United States making us look like small people," he said. "I lost a lot of buddies in Korea." Hogan was carrying a soda bottle filled with inflam mable liquid when he was caught trying to crawl over a fence bordering U.N. terri tory. No United Nations meetings were in session It was the first bomb inci dent known to be directly connected with Khrushchev since the Russian leader ar rived here Sept. 19 for the U.N. General Assembly ses sion. There have been a num ber of false bomb alerts, how ever, and a crude cardboard box bomb exploded Sunday in Times Square seriously in juring a 73-year-old man.

Hogan, a laborer, was charged with carrying and possessing a deadly weapon with Intent to use and carry ing and possessing an explo sive substance with intent to use against person or prop erly. Hogan told detectives he had finished work Tuesday at 4 p.m. and spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in a scries of bars in Queens and Manhattan. In one of the bars, he said, he saw a television program about Khrushchev's activi ties, and said to himself, "Somebody ought to put him away. Hogan said he decided to see "if I could make it." "I'd consider myself a lucky guy to assassinate Khru shchev," he said. "I would have gotten rid of a big head ache. He denied making the bomb, a 12-ounce bottle filled with an infiamable liquid with an 11-inch piece of blue cloth set in place as a fuse. He said he had found it. Spotted by Patrolman Police believed the liquid was gasoline. Hogan was spotted ap proaching the U.N. grounds by patrolman William Fish er, a member of the extra heavy security detail that has been posted around the glass walled U.N. headquarters since the start of the General Assembly session. As he was about to climb the fence, police said Flshor shouted at him and told him to raise his hands. The Molo tov cocktail fell to the ground.

C.Q. (creativity quotient) is related to his sense of humor. Research by Prof. Jacob W. Getzels and Prof. Philip W. Jackson of the University of Chicago points to development of a "creativi ty quotient" similar to the I.Q. system of ratings now in use. For their research on gifted ncss, they used a group of about 500 adolescents in the University of Chicago Labora tory School from the sixth grade to the end of the senior year in high school. They found that the emphasis on sense of humor is so marked that it is the one characteris tic that sharply sets apart the high-creativity group from all other groups. Their research also disclosed that teachers prefer the high I.Q. child to the child with the high C.Q. The highly creative child studied was selected only if he was not in the top 20 per cent in I.Q. The high I.Q. child and the high C.Q. child were equally superior in school achievement to the student population as a whole. n 1 t .f' 0 -; ;(. 1 1 A .... r . s. .sssaW -HI -0DERN AVE .'URNED -1XE .TIDE .GAINST 1 .ISEASE OCTOBER 2-8 NATIONAL PHARMACY WEEK fijS prioress from mystical potions to modern pharmaceuticals When you have a prescription filled, at your community pharmacy during National Pharmacy Week, October fnA to 8th, remember that the cost of medicine hat risen much less than the cost of most things you buy . . .

This messagf sponsored by the Jackson County Pharmaceutical Association Business Upturn Eyed To Save Budget Surplus Washtngton-fUPD-The admin istration is counting on big upturn in business in the clos ing months of the year to save what is left of the 1961 budget surplus. But economists In and out of government doubted today there would be as big a busi ness spurt as was anticipated by a new budget report. With revenues down and spending up, the $4.2 billion surplus proposed last January by President Eisenhower has melted to $1.1 billion, the Budget Bureau reported Tues day night in Its mid-year re view. The shrinkage dimmed the chances of a general tax cut next year. Revenues from corporate profits taxes were off $2 bil lion as profits failed to match the SSI billion forecast. The Treasury said they are likely to hit $47 billion, equal to the record set in 1959. Near Original Forecast It also said that total out put of goods and services this year would come within one per cent of the original fore cast of $512 billion. That would be $507 billion or bet ter. Economists interviewed by UPI doubted that this level could be achieved. With busi ness stalled at a $505 billion annual rate in the third-quar ter of the year, they noted, it would take a Jump of about $9 billion in the October-No vember - December rate to push the figure for the whole year up to $507 billion. The new budget figures for the current, fiscal year show ed revenue of $81.5 billion and spending of $80.4 billion. Revenues were off $2.5 bil lion from the earlier estimate and expenditures were up $600 million. Budget Dlretcor Maurice H. Stans blamed Congress for $2 billion of the shrinkage in the surplus. He cited its refusal to enact higher postal rates and certain excise tax in creases, and passage over a presidential veto of a $746 million annual pay boost for civilian government em ployees. Lodge Due in Oregon Tonight for Campaigning; Smith, Mrs. Neuberger Express Different Views By United Press International Henry Cabot Lodge, the Re publican vice presidential candidate, flicj into Oregon tonight in preparation for a day of campaigning Thursday. Lodge will spend tonight in Corvallis, hold a news con ference there Thursday morn ing and speak at Gill coliseum in the early afternoon before flying to Portland. He speaks in Portland in front of Nixon- Lodge headquarters at 3:15 p.m. and in the auditorium at 8 p.m. He will spend the night in Portland and leave the next morning. The two rivals for the U.S. Senate, Republican Elmo Smith and Democrat Mrs, Maurine Neuberger, sched uled two more appearances on the same platform today, at an Aero club noon lunch eon in Portland and at an afternoon meeting in Hills- boro before grade and junior high school teachers. Differ on Amendment The two candidates differ ed on the Connally amend ment and on the proposed Oregon Dunes National Sea shore in an appearance at Lewis and Clark College Tuesday. The Connally amendment restricts partici pation of this country in oper ation of the world court. Mrs. Neuberger said she fa vors repeal of the reservation, which allows the U.S. to deter mine issues of "domestic" concern on which it will not accept the court's jurisdiction. Smith said he was not com pletely opposed to elimination of the reservation but said "we should go a little bit slow." He said American in terests should not be made subject to the court "unless we can be sure the cards are not stacked against us." Smith told a question and answer session that hi be lieved if the amendment were repealed one of the first ques tions to come up may be whether or not this country was properly occupying the Guantanamo Navy base in Cuba. Dunes Views Clash On the dunes park pro posal Smith said he opposed any program that would see the area "locked up for single- purpose use." Mrs. NeuDerger, whose late husband proposed the park, said its creation would be a boom to the tourist trade. ! In other developments: . . . Rep.

The 91-inch, 500 - pound sphere dramatically proved its value as the forerunner of a practically jam-proof commu nications system by transmit ting a message from President Eisenhower in Washington to Secretary of State Christian A. Herter in New York City. The satellite, dubbed Courier I-B, also beamed back pre-recorded statement by Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker. Brucker said the 'Fireball' Exercise Planned in Valley The Jackson county civil defense center and network will hold "exercise fireball" Monday, Oct. 10, at 8 p.m., ac cording to Dwight J.

July 5 has been eliminated by the firm. Carnation at the same time reduced its price to farmers by 12 cents per hundred weight from $5.97 to $5.85. A' company spokesman said the increase last July was to cover wage hikes granted May 1 and other higher costs. He said, however, the move had not been sucessful "because significant segments of the in dustry have not raised the re tail store prices, thereby put ting Carnation customers at a serious competitive disadvan tage." Carnation has not reduced the home delivery price in crease made in July.

The sphere was blasted into orbit by a 79-foot Thor-Able- Star rocket from Cape Canav eral, Fla., Tuesday afternoon, the third anniversary of Rus sia's first Sputnik. It was the 28th U.S. success since the birth of the space age. An earlier Courier attempt failed Aug. 18 when the rocket blew up.
