Gromyko Claims

American Test
Plans Move Ahead
Moscow - (UPD - The Soviet
Union threatened today to
test "new types" of nuclear
weapons if the United States
goes through with its planned
tests in the Pacific.
Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko made the threat in
a report to the Supreme So
viet on the results to date of
the Geneva disarmament
talks.
He spoke shortly after the
two houses of the Soviet par
liament - the Soviet of the
Union and the Soviet of Na
tionalities - had unanimously
reelected Nikita Khrushchev
premier of the Soviet Union
-to no one's surprise.
Types Not Described
Gromyko said that should
the West resume testing, the
Soviet Union "will be con
fronted with the need to reply
to such act'oiis ... by hold
ing tests of new types of its
nuclear weapons."
Gromyko did not describe
the "new types" of weapons
But he spoke as prepara
tions neared completion for
resumption of American at
mospheric tests in the Pacific
which are expected this week
since the Soviet Union has
not agreed to a test ban
treaty with inspection safe
guards. President Kennedy
has said the new U.S. tests
would be carried out in the
absence of such an agreement.
New Weitern Obstacles
Gromyko told the after
noon joint session of the Su
preme Soviet that the West at
the 17-nation Geneva Disarm
ament Conference was plac
ing "ever-new obstcles" in
the path of any agreement.
He said the eight-nation
neutral proposal to the con
ference was not clear and
precise on some matters, but
said there was no doubt that
the neutrals had preceded
from the premise that nation
al detection systems would
be adequate to insure compli
ance with any test ban ar
rangement. This is a position the Unit
ed States and Britain refuse
to accept, maintaining that
only international inspection
with the right to make on-the-spot
checks would be fool
proof. Orchard Asparagus
May Contain Poison
Jackson County Horticul
turist Don Berry today cau
tioned the public about pick
ing asparagus or other greens
in valley orchards because of
spray materials now being
used in the orchards.
For about the past month
sprays containing phosphate
materials have been applied
and other sprays throughout
the following months also
will be poisonous, he ex
plained. Berry also pointed out that
those picking greens from
orchards are trespassing, un
less they have the owner's
permission.
He added that it is not al
ways possible to determine
whether an orchard has been
sprayed recently, and that
some sprays being used are
extremely poisonous. Others
are residual and can accumu
late in the body over a period
of time, so that effects may
be delayed.
In the past years, the agent
said, there have been cases
where people were made ill
and hospitalized after eating
greens picked in local
orchards.

Children's Home
At Reith Ranch
Proposed To Bocrd
Salem-IUPD-A Umatilla coun
ty delegation proposing a
county - operated children's
farm home near Pendleton re
ceived an enthusiastic recep
tion" today from the State
Board of Control.
Umatilla County Judge D.
R. (Sam) Cook said the county
would like to lease an initial
20 to 30 acres for the farm
home at Reith Ranch, owned
by the state.
The 760-acre ranch is near
the town of Reith and is con
sidered part of Eastern Ore
gon State Hospital.
Judge Cook said the pro
posed home would be for
"pre-delinquent" children, in
cluding those from broken
homes. To start with, the
home would have 12 to 15
boys and girls, with the boys
living in a dormitory and the
girls living in another resi
dence facility. The home
would operate on a minimum
security basis.
The Judge said there are 10
structures on the Reith Ranch
now vacant that could be used
for the farm home. Umatilla
county ranchers have offered
to donate cattle, sheep, hogs
and chickens to get the home
going.
Judge Cook said there is a
lack of foster home type fa
cilities in Oregon. He said
that 16 boys sent to MacLaren
School in Woodburn were
foster home candidates and
wouldn't have had to be com
mitted to MacLaren if such
a farm home were operating
in Eastern Oregon.

Malfunctions;

whizzed through space today
on a collision course with the
moon-a "tremendous guidance
success" that will ease the
..sting of a malfunction which
addled the spacecrafts elec-
tronfc "brain."
The 730-paund package of
scientific instruments, launch'
ed aboard a 10-story Atlas
Agona rocket here Monday,
was expected to crash onto
the hidden "far side of the
moon at 8:55 a.m. (EST) Thurs
day. As a machine for scientific
exploration, Rangcr-IV was
virtually a multi-million-dollar
bust. The trouble that left
the command center of its
complex brain senseless at the
start of the flight apparently
ruined plans to get close-up
television pictures of the
moon or to safely land a pack
age of instruments on the
visible lunar surface.
But scoring a direct hit on
the moon after nearly four
years and 11 tries will repre
sent "a tremendous guidance
success," said scientists of Jet
Propulsion Laboratories,
which built Ranger-IV.
The feat Involves firing the
Ranger-IV as a sort of "bullet"
at seven miles per second
from earth, and aiming it at
a point 230,000 miles away
to intercept the moon-a tar
get traveling at 18 miles per
second-some 65 hours later.
Russia has hit the moon
once, with Lunik-2 launched
Sept. 12, 1059. Lunik-2, how
ever, was able to relay scien
tific information en route,
whereas Rangcr-IV early to
day was unable either to send
out data or to respond to
commands from earth sta

Duncan Backs
Smaller Dunes
Park Proposal
Rcedsport-WPB-House Speak
er Robert B. Duncan (D-Med-ford)
today came out for the
Oregon Dunes National park
proposal of Sen. Maurine Neu
berger (D-Ore.), but with a
major modification in her bill.
Duncan, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for
Congress in the Fourth dis
trict, said the boundaries set
out in Mrs. Neuberger's bill
should be trimmed, limiting
the proposed park from U.S.
101 to the ocean. Mrs. Neuber-
gcr would have the park
boundaries cross U.S. 101, tak
ing in some lakes and private
property.
Duncan said this would
eliminate most of the objec
tions to the Neuberger bill.
Hatfield Position Flayed
At the same time, Duncan
flayed Gov. Mark Hatfield's
position on Dunes legislation,
saying Hatfield has "furnished
no leadership."
Rep. Edwin Durno (R-Ore.)
has a bill, conflicting with
Mrs. Neuberger's, for a Dunes
seashore under the U.S. For
est Service. Duncan said Dur
no has been "uncompromis
ing" and "it is time for
new approach."
Mrs. Neuberger has con
scientiously tried to compro
mise," Duncan said, but to
secure passage of her bill,
the boundaries must be al
tered. Addressing a community
forum here, Duncan rejected
tlie idea that a National park
in the dunes is dead and he
called for an end to "political
jockeying and emotionalism
so that the wounds can heal
and we can get on with the
development."
Duncan said his stand has
come after "trying to get at
the facts and to define the
problem before stating my
views."
Hatfield has not flatly en
dorsed either the Neuberger
or Durno bills but he has stat
ed repeatedly he favors na
tional development of the
dunes area for recreation.
Hatfield has insisted that cer
tain rights of the state - be
spelled out in the Neuberger
bill, but Duncan labeled these
as "details."
... "Details such as reservation
of minerals to the state, use
of underground water, etc.
should not pose great difficul
ty," Duncan said.
Duncan also favored con
tinuance by Lane, Douglas

Straub Urges
Competitive Rail
Rate lor Lumber
Springfield - DPP - A good
way to help the lumber in
dustry in western Oregon
would be to re-establish a
"competitive transcontinental
rail rate," State Sen. Robert
W. Straub of Eugene said
here Monday night.
"Everybody talks about the
Jones Act as being of far
reaching inportance to the
lumber economy, but rail.
road rates are of far broader
significance and importance
because 95 per cent of our
lumber Is shipped by rail,"
Straub said.
Speaking to a local of the
International Woodworkers of
America, Straub, Democratic
hopeful for Congress in the
Fourth District, said other
prime factors for helping him
ber are plant modernization
and increasing the demand for
forest products.
Straub also took a verbal
jab at the Fourth District's
present congressman, Rep. Ed
win Durno (R-Ore.).
"It is most unfortunate for
everybody in the Fourth Dis
trict, but especially for work
e r s currently unemployed,
that the congressional district
which produces more lumber
than any other district in the
United States is currently rep
resented oy a doctor who has
fought every major piece of
federal legislation which
would be a boost to the econo
my of western Oregon,"
Straub said.

which is being sponsored by

The plan was drawn up aft
er the legislative apportion
ment plan of last year was
nullified by the Oregon Su
preme Court, and another
one, drawn up by Secretary
of State Howell Appling Jr.
was substituted.
The proposed plan is a
compromise between the
pure population basis of
legislative apportion m e n t,
and the "federal plan," which
gives legislative representa
tion for area as well as popu
lation. It would provide that the
state senate continue to be
apportioned on population,
and the house also for the
most part, but adds a feature
which allows a certain mini
mum -of representation for
large areas which would be
deprived of any effective rep
resentation at all under the
pure population plan.
Some 2,500 signatures on
the petitions are being sought

Another Boost
Believed Likely
For This Month
Medical Care,
Clothing Blamed
Washington - (UPD - Living
costs crept to the second con
secutive monthly record in
March and another increase
is likely for April, the govern
ment reported today.
The Labor Department
blamed the March rise of 0.2
per cent chiefly on mark-ups
in the cost of medical care
and spring clothing styles for
women and girls.
The rise amounted to two
cents per $10 of spending for
goods and services. It lifted
the consumer price index to a
new high of 105.
This meant it took $10.50
to buy goods and services
which would have cost $10
in 1957-59.
The report meant that
about 67,000 workers whose -wages
are linked to the index
would get pay boosts. The de
partment said 30,000 Doug
las Aircraft employees would
get two cents an hour boosts.
About 37,000 workers in
chemicals and manufacturing
firms, and Milwaukee transit
Workers will get increases ot
one cent an hour.
Arnold Chase, the depart
ment's price chief, said the
1.1 per cent rise in the index
since March, 1961, "would be
within the range of reasonable
price stability."
He said the fact that the
wholesale price index in
March was a shade lower than
in March, 1961, shows that
there are no general inflation
ary forces at work in the
economy.
Chase anticipated further
rises in the cost of services,
especially medical care and '
rent, and seasonal mark-ups
for fresh fruits and vegetables.
He said this will mean an
other small increase in the
index in April was likely.
The index, which measure
changes in prices of more
than 300 goods and services
I bought by middle-Income city
families, rose 0.3 per cent in
February after six months of
virtual stability.
