Investment made by the tenth earns at of the first and LOAN ASSOCIATION New location; 6th and Grape Free Parking Robert F. Kyle, Mgr. British Cruiser Crewmen Held For Smuggling San Francisco-lUPU-The com manding officer of the British cruiser Belfast has arrested two of his crewmen for at tempting to smuggle into the United States approximately $3 million in narcotics. A smaller fortune in jewels also was discovered. Capt. Morgan Giles dis closed Monday that the ar rests were made at sea. The Belfast arrived in San Fran cisco Saturday on a good will mission. He said British intelligence officers now were working on coded letters in Chinese found on the crewmen which might lead to those planning to re ceive the narcotics. S3 Million in Heroin Included in the cache of drugs was 13- pounds of pure heroin, worth $3 million when processed for sale in the illegal market, and twice as much opium, valued at $200 a pound. About $70,000 In gems were found in an apparently un related smuggling attempt. Arrested were Petty Officer Ah Lee Wong, 35, and civilian canteen worker Kan Ping Kkow, 27. Both are from Hong Kong. The men admitted smug gling the narcotics aboard in Singapore, intending to de liver them in Honolulu, the British consulate here said. However, they said they were unable to locate the ad dress of the consignee and wrote to Singapore for further instructions. Officials Tipped The consulate spokesman said Navy officials in Singa pore had been tipped of the smuggling attempt and had notified the Belfast. Secret searches were made at Hong Kong, Guam and Honolulu. But the cache of narcotics, hidden in the suit cases of Wong and Kan, was not found until the ship was between here and Hnwnii. U. S. customs agents said they were not concerned with the gems, discovered in su gar cannistcrs in the officers' mess. They said no attempt had been made to bring them into the United States. There was no indication who brought t h e Jewels aboard. The 11,550-ton vessel is a veteran of the World War II sinking of the German battle ship Scharnhorsl. XI 5 Rocket Plane Expected To Reach Altitude of 57 Miles in About Month Edwards AFB, Calif. -UP Space administratio.i officials, elated over the XlS's world record, 48'2-nile-high flight to the edge of space, disclosed plans today for the rocket ship to fly to an altitude of 57 miles "in about a month." "I think we'll see 300,000 feet in about a month," said X15 project manager James E. Love in the wake of Mon day's 225.000-foot Hight which marked the highest man ever has flown in a plane. Federal Aviation Associa tion representatives were ex pected to submit the altitude for official world recognition. "We've got an aggressive program for flying to ex tremely high altitudes, and we're not going to lose any time," said the National Aero nautics and ' pace Adminis tration official. A similar expectation was voiced by NASA test pilot Joe A. Walker, 41, who shot the bullet-shaped ship in its steep est climb yet during Monday's epic flight - described as "a thing of beauty." "I don't see any reason why we can't get up that high," drawled the seemingly unper turbable veteran pilot. "Our only priblem is control and re-er;'.ry." The highest the sleek, needle-nosed X15 had flown previously was 217,000 feet or 41 miles-by Air Force Maj. Bob White last year. In a joking reference to the altitude potential of the XI 5, the rocketcering farm boy from Washington, Pa- Known lor nomespun wise cracks about his dangerous X15 missions, told a press con ference: "I felt that if I continued to run that engine longer, I'd go into orbit."

Duncan Hooks State Time Confusion on To Straub's Record ! Medford Student ! Elected To Office 1 Jack Joyce, son of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Joyce. 1108 : Queen Ann ave., has been elected representative of the i junior class at the University i of Oregon by the Associated Students of the university. Elections were held April 25 in a general campus election, with 3.301 students taking ! part. I William s iBudl Orr of I Grants Pass was elected rep resentative oflhc sophomore i class. i Neil Gulilschmidt of Ku- gene was elected president j and Arthur Erickson of Sa , leni. vice president. United Press International Congresional candidate Ro' crt Duncan hitched Oregon's time confusion to an oppon ent's record Monday night as the Oregon primary election rolled to within 18 days. Duntan firmly divorced himself from any connection with the state's variety of summer time standards in a televised speech at Eugene. The Oregon House Speaker and Medford Democrat cited his voting record to show he had nothing to do with giving the Portland area fast time. He noted, however, one of his primary opponents. State Sen. Robert Straub of Eugene, cart his vole for the fast time bill. Duncan called Strnub's pro posal for a special legislative session to correct the error a mistake and said the last spe cial session ran tur 17 days. Straub in Medford Straub spoke today at Dun can's home town of Medford. tie said he "could hardly believe" the recent statement of Rep. Edwin R. Durno thai Durno opposed the President's foreign aid program except for military aid. "Not only is this directly counter to his campaign prom ise to support the administra tion in the bi-partisan area of foreign affairs, but it throws I aside all hope of guiding the j world into peaceful pursuits j and turns it into an armed I camp instead," he said. Durno is seeking the GOP Senate nomination. Morse 'Lone Wolf At Portland, Republican U. S. Senate candidate Jim Baca- i loft said Oregon's lumber and defense industries are retard ed because Democratic Sen. Wayne Morse is a "lone wolf." Hacaloff, in what he called a major policy speech this morning, said if he is elected he will work closely with sen atorial collegues and state and local officials to promote Ore gon industry. He also pro posed a "buy American" clause for public works proj ects. Durno continued to stump northwest Oregon. His sched uled appearances included a talk at Willamette University Wednesday evening.

PHONE 772-9097 he added, saying he could scan the western fringe of the United States. "I could see Monterey Bay (near San Francisco) to the north and the Gulf of California to the south - and away out to some darn place in the Pacific Ocean."
