Lemnltzer, chair man of the Joint chiefs, was being questioned about the Pentagon's role in the ill-fated Invasion attempt. . - The Tennessee Democrat told newsmen: "I have reached . the conclusion on my own that we definitely need a new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and new members."

The delegates, mostly citi zens, who filled the house of representatives, listened at tentively to the governor's appeal. Disbelief Expressed Hatfield said many people had already expressed "dis belief that the legislature could be so amiss on traffic safety legislation." The ' governor's ' dramatic pleas last year for a three, law package to combat reck. less and drunk driving failed to win passage. Hatfield asked public sup port in his continued fight to win these measures: - Arrest for probable cause, instead of requiring an officer to witness an accident. Implied consent for chem ical liquor tests. The law now requires written consent, and Kennedy Endorses Federal Judge Bill Washington -(WD- President Kennedy today signed a bill giving him authority to ap point 73 new federal judges to help tackle the pile-up of legal cases which has snarled U. S. Circuit and District courts. - In addition to helping fed eral courts catch up with their work, the new law gives Ken nedy a huge block of political ly potent patronage to distrib ute. Federal judgeships are par ticularly highly regarded be cause they are for lifetime tenure. The 10 new circuit judgeships pay $25,000 a year each; the 63 district judge ships pay $22,800. ....,, ir v.- the' legislature expanded this to permit test on oral consent. - State speed limits. Begs Support "I shall not quit this fight . . . I ask, yes beg, your sup port," Hatfield told the group, Without passage of sound laws, Hatfield said, law en forcement agencies are pre vented from acting firmly, and "no feat of highway con struction can make us safe from drunk and reckless driv ers." , ; Hatfield told the confer ence it must seek to build "an aroused public opinion with a determination to act to end highway deaths. ;. Kingston Trio Said Breaking Up San Francisco - (UPD - The Kingston Trio, which shot to fame with Its recording of the ballad "Tom Dooley," is breaking up over a "conflict of interest."

HUNGRY BURGLARS Logan, Ohlo-(UPl)-The A&W Drive-In restaurant was the unexpected host early Thurs day to some hungry burglars.

J U u v ) SP 3-3160 Notable Results Not Expected; EuropeConcerned London -AM- America's at lies around the world ex pressed guarded approval to day of the idea of a meeting between President Kennedy and Premier Niklta Khrush chev but warned against any expectation that it would pro duce notable results. Russia and its satellites were expected also to wel come the idea on the theory that the Communist world had nothing to lose and might perhaps gain something from such a meeting. U.S. allies in Europe were publicly optimistic about the Kennedy-Khrushchev talks, but expressed private concern over the possibility that they would be bypassed In "big two" dealings with world af fairs. French President Charles de Gaulle, who believes he is entitled to a decisive share in shaping Western policy, was believed to be cool to the idea of the meeting. Observers in Paris believed, however, that de Gaulle might be pacified by the fact that Kennedy will see him before meeting Khrushchev. Allied officials in Geneva and at Atlantic Pact head quarters in Paris were appre hensive about the possibility that a Kennedy-Khrushchev meeting would lead to similar individual approaches to the Kremlin by other Western leaders, giving the Russians a chance to undermine Western unity. Most sources said a Big Two meeting might smooth East West relations, but warned that no concrete settlement of major issues was likely to re sult. 60-Minute Impact Ashland Reacts Favorably To Daylight Time (Continued from Page 1) Ted Rogers, an Illinois Val ley service station operator, suggested advertising in Med- ford and Grants Pass news papers that the Illinois Valley stores would sta? open longer. The retail traaes committee and the board of directors of the Ashland Chamber of Commerce yesterday discus sed the proposal, and ex pressed general favorable re action to going on daylight time. One Dissenting Vole Chamber President Archie Fries, Jr., said there was one dissenting vote among those expressing their opinions at the meeting, which was at tended by about 22 persons. . Fries said yesterday "What else can we do with Medford on one side and Yreka on the other, and both of them on daylight time." There was some indication that Ashland may attempt to go on daylight time. City Su perintendent Elmer Biegel said yesterday it was done once before, and said a spe cial council meeting would be called as soon t.s possible to make a decision. Biegel indicated this morn ing that the Ashland council probably would discuss chang lng the hours of city employ ees. He noted that any change would not affect operation of the city government in any way. Taking the Blame The state legislature ap pears to be taking the blame for the time contusion from many circles. Mayor Banks of Cave Junc tion said "just because the legislature favored five coun ties and went against a popu lar vote is no reason why we should adopt fast time." Many southern Oregon resi dents apparently feel their voting privilege has been vio lated by the Oregon legisla ture by allowing Multnomah and four other northern Ore gon counties to adopt day light saving time. There have been grumblings In the Ashland area about the time confusion, most of it di rected toward the legislature for creating the situation.

See Korean President In line with this, Lt. Gen. Carter B. Magruder, com mander of U.S. and United Nations troops in Korea, and Marshall Green, senior offi cer at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, made a futile attempt to sidetrack the revolt in a meeting with Korean Presi dent Posun Yung on the day the coup started. The Korean president met with them for three hours after a small group of army generals and colonels seized the capital Tuesday. . At this stage the coup could have gone either way. Outside Seoul the bulk of army commanders still were neutral. They would not join the rebels. Nor would they launch bloody civil war by attacking them. President Yung wanted to know which way the United States stood. Green and Ma gruder told him -they were strongly opposed to settling Korea's problems by non-constitutional means, that this could set a pattern for coup after coup in the years ahead. The President said the re gime of Premier John M. Chang, one of his oldest poli tical foes, was corrupt and needed throwing out, that the rebels had a good platform Flames Roar Through Manila Business Area Manila -(UPD- Fire roared through several blocks of Ma nila's heavily populated north ern business sector early to day, . causing millions of dol lars worth of damage, police said.

When they left, the Americans thought they might have talked him out of back ing the rebels, but Thursday he did. Magruder and Green also conferred during this period with the deposed Premier Chang-by telephone. The pre mier went into hiding when the generals first struck. The Americans did not know where he was, but they knew how to contact him. They tried to persuade Pre mier Chang to come out in the open, take a strong stand for lawful government and rally the uncommitted gen erals to his cause. Chang never did. When the coup first began the rebels, hoping to gain support, spread the word that the United States backed the revolt. Controversial Statements This was one reason that Green' and Magruder a few hours later made their now controversial statements that the United States supported the elected government and that Korean generals should reverse the coup.
