Ross Youngblood
Transferred to
Fairbanks District
Ross Youngblood, Medford
district manager-for the bu
reau of land management, has
been selected to direct the
175 million-acre Fairbanks,
Alaska, district.
Russell E. Getty. BLM di
rector for Oregon"-and, Wash
ington, said "the vsslness of
Youngblood's new job will be
much greater than that of a
district manager in Oregon."
The Fairbanks district is
Ihree times the size of Oregon.
Youngblood will be in charge
of the land office, cadastral
engineering, forestry and
range management programs.
A million-acre reindeer range
also is located in the district.
Depending on the season, the
are from 50 to 95 employees
i.n the Fairbanks district.
Alaska is now selecting
more than 103 million acres
granted to it by the federal
government in the Alaska
Statehood act. The state has
the right to choose from the
best public lands available: a
large part of Youngblood's
job will involve administra
tion of the state-selection pro
gram in the district. i
Youngblood has had 23
years of government servicp
and is "exceptionally well
qualified for such a challeng
ing job," according to Getty.
As a forestry graduate of Ore
Ron State university, he began
his public service career as a
fi reman and camp boss with
the Civilian Conservation
corps in the Medford blister
rust control program.
In 1944, Youngblood was
promoted to BLM district for
ester in the Coos Bay area. He
became the Medford district
manager in 1957.
"Medford is the largest
BLM district in western Ore
gon," Getty added. "Through
keen judgment and outstand
ing managerial skill Ross
Youngblood has made Med
ford one of the most progres
sive public land management
districts in BLM."
Youngblood and his wife
will make their home in Fair
banks, Alaska after Aug. 1.

Soviet Diplomats
Caught Spying
In New Zealand
Wellington, New Zealand-
lUPli- Prime Minister Keith
Holyoake announced today
that two Soviet diplomats had
been caught spying in New
Zealand and were ordered out
of the country.
The two diplomats were
identified as N. I. Shtykov,
second secretary of the em
bassy, and V. S. Andrcev,
commercial counselor.
N. V. Ivanov, Soviet charge
d'affaires, confirmed he had
ordered the two back to Mos
cow.
Holyoake made his an
nouncement to a hushed
House of Representatives.
He said the two Russians
had been engaged in espion
age involving New Zealand's
security.
"Of thai we have complete,
i r r e f u t able evidence," the
Prime Minister declared.
Attempts Said Failure
He said the two Russians
had tried to suborn New Zea-
landers with money and gifts.
He said they failed in the at
tempt. Ivanov, reached by tele
phone at his home where he
is confined to bed with the
flu, said Andrcev and Shty
kov left for Moscow last Sun
day. In Sydney, where the two
diplomats and their families
stopped over on their way
back to Moscow, Shyktov
called their expulsion "an un
believable misunderstanding."
Andreev said "We only
know that whatever New Zea
land's reasons for expelling
us, they are completely
wrong."-

Transatlantic
Telephone Call
ViaTelstarSet
Test Patterns
To Be Exchanged
New York -IUPD- Telephone
officials scheduled the first
regular transatlantic phone
call by means of the Telstar
satellite Friday following an
exchange of television test
patterns between the United
States and Britain and France
tonight.
U. S. T e 1 s t a r authorities
planned to transmit test pat
terns to the British and
French ground bases during
Telstar's 24th and 25th passes
over the Atlantic this eve
ning. No Network Screening
Since only test patterns will
be used, none of the three
U.S. TV networks is expected
to pick them up for home
screens.
The first long distance
phone call via satellite is
planned for Friday evening
between New York and Paris.
British and French tele
vision authorities were elated
by the success of their broad
casts Wednesday night which
brought a taped French night
club entertainment and a live
British transmission into mil
lions of American living
rooms. But Dr. Eugene
O'Neill, program director of
Telstar, said nothing like this
is in store tonight. If the two
way calls enjoy the same suc
cess as Wednesday night's
near perfect French and Eng
lish television transmissions,
the telephone conversations
should sound as clear as local
calls.
O'Neill conceded the suc
cess of Wednesday nlgnts
tests, by which Americans
saw an eight minute show
from France during the Tel
star's 15th orbit and a British
program during the 16th pass
over the Atlantic.
Showed Paris Scenes
The French show, taped in
Paris and transmitted from
Pleumcur - B o u d o u, gave
Americans views of Parisian
street scenes and treated them
lo a rendition of "La Chan-
sonctte" by Yves Montand,
once linked romantically with
Marilyn Monroe, plus a bal
lad by chanteuse Michelle Ar
naud. The British Broadcasting
Corp. reacted with an angry
charge that the French had
violated an agreement for a
later broadcast by the 1 Sana
tion Eurovlsion group. A Lon
don newspaper accused the
French of "gallic one-upmanship."
Not to be outdone, the
Britons rushed their own pro
gram into shape for the next
orbit.
At 6:18 p.m. (PST) they hit
the whirling satellite and
beamed their own program
across the Atlantic, proudly
noting that it was "live." It
consisted principally of a
panel discussion by three of
ficials who stayed up past
midnight, British time, to out
do the French.
