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."

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."

Missile Gap Uproar Focuses
Attention on 'Backgrounders'
Washington-IUPI)-The missile
gap uproar focused attention
today on a peculiar capital
institution-the "background"
session where top officials give
newsmen important informa
tion, that can be published
only if not attributed to any
source.
: President Kennedy told his
news conference Wednesday
that such briefings could be
"hazardous" but were impor
tant enough to accurate re
porting to be continued.
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

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

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.

Shark Submarine
Joins Navy Fleet
Newport News, Va. (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.
