Sales Wednesday Retired Minnie CalledToDuty ,,Tulsa, Okla.-HJPMtf was Just like old times when Minnie got back into harness yester- day, and she enjoyed it even though she may have a few aches and pains for the next several days. Minnie Is a 50-year-old re tired circus elephant. She lives at the Mohawk Zoo .in Tulsa. Someone drove his car onto golf course and it slid into a lake. It was abandoned. Of ficials at the course feared that a wrecker would damage the course because of recent snow and rain. So they asked Minnie to come temporarily out of retirement. Hugh Davis, curator ot the Zoo, agreed and got out Min nie's old circus harness. To her, it was like child's play to jerk the car out of the muck. "She seemed to enjoy the whole thing," Davis said. "But she may have some sore mus cles for the next few days." t it.

The Soviet Union last year had 4,022,633 phones in service for a gain of 5.6 per cent over 1959, YOUR LOCAL SCOUT DISTRIBUTOR Young People Said Becoming Nation's Leaders Salem -IUPD- The legislature got down to cases Wednesday on whether 18 - year olds should be allowed to vote. The present voting age is 21. The House Elections Com mittee had its first hearing on House Joint Resolution 2, which would lower the age to 18. The people would vote on this in 1962. Sponsor Katherine Musa (D-The Dalles) said the most compelling reason for the measure is because "young people today are fast becom ing leaders, and tomorrow they will be taking over the responsibilities of . , govern ment." Her husband, Sen. Ben Musa, (D-The Dalles) is spon sor of the proposal in the Senate. A similar effort in 1957, pushed by Sen. Monroe Sweetland (D-Milwaukie) and Gov. Mark Hatfield, then a state senator from Marion county, failed. There was little opposition at the meeting, but Chairman George Annala-(D-Hood Riv er) said a second hearing will be called soon. Sweetland said many young adults in the 18-21 bracket are heads of families, have children, pay taxes and yet have' no say in operation of public schools and the entire government. J. D. McDonald, president of the Oregon AFL-CIO, said labor is all for it. The hearing featured com ments from a delegation of 46 teen-agers from North Salem high school, most .of them ap proaching 18. - ' : , Tom Averlll, 16, said many youngsters know more about current issues than their par ents. - Linda Mauldin, also 16, said teen-agers should be allowed to get an early start in politics through voting because we are the ones who in the future will have your jobs, and one of us will be persident." Annala got a laugh when he cracked: "I wouldn't want to run -against you."

Organized "backgrounders," which have their attackers and defenders, can be useful in getting to the public much government information it might not otherwise get. They also enable reporters to gather valuable background information so they can bet ter report developments' as they break into the open. i "Backgrounders" have their perils-for officials who drop explosive items and find them selves unveiled by someone who was Jiot present and for House Education Committee Votes OSC Name Change Salem-fUPII-The House Edu cation Committee voted unani mous approval Wednesday of a bill to change the name of Oregon State College to Ore gon State University. There were no opposing witnesses. Those who spoke for the change were: Dr. A. L. Strand, OSC president; Rep. C. R. Hoyt (R-Corvallis);. Don Lar sen of the Board of Higher Education, and John Fenner, head of the OSC Alumni As sociation. Strand and Larsen said there is no opposition to the change. A bill was introduced in the House today asking for an additional $500,000 from the state's general fund for a new pharmaceutical building at Oregon State. The bill was requested by the Oregon State Pharmaceu tical Association. The money would be given to the Board of Higher Edu cation for the planning, con struction, furnishing and equipping of such a facility. One of the sponsors. Rep. William J. Gallagher (R-Port-land), said the OSC School of Pharmacy is "greatly imped ed in attempting to provide a COAL SUPPLY Washington - North Ameri ca has 58 per cent of the world's known supply of coal.

Kennedy endorsed back ground sessions at his news conference in the face of whatever embarrassment was caused his administration by reports that his defense chiefs had found no ."missile gap" between the United States and Russia. 1 . The President virtually ac knowledged that the back ground briefing which pro duced these reports was held by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara. But he did not accept the accounts of report ers of what transpired. Reports Monday night and Tuesday said the new defense high command did riot believe Russia had more intercon tinental missiles than the Unit ed States and did not see any reason to expect a gap to develop in 'over-all destrue- 1960 level of education with a facility provided 36 years ago." Gov. Mark Hatfield's capi tal construction program en visions $415000 for the build ing, but not until 1965-67. The bill carries an emer gency clause, meaning work could begin immediately after passage by this legislature.

(UPD The fastest nuclear - powered submarine in the world, a silent hunter designed to stalk and kill enemy submarines with self-guiding torpedoes, joins the U.S. Navy today. The Navy has refused to reveal the exact speed of the 252-foot, 3,500-ton submarine "Shark." Officials will say only that the Shark's atomic engines and radical hull de sign give it a top speed "in excess of 20 knots." The Shark was christened almost a year ago and recent ly completed its preliminary sea trials. The Shark carries no mis siles or rockets. Its self-guiding torpedoes are capable of chasing down enemy subs, and its sounding gear is said to be sensitive enough to pick up the sound of a cough from inside a submerged sub under proper conditions.
