A prelim- Macmillan May Extend Political Purge in Britain London - WPP - Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan will carry his political purge to the junior ministries 'within the next four or five days and end the "little austerity" pol icy which cost the conserva tive party much popularity, informed sources said Satur day. He began the purge Friday by firing six cabinet min isters and the secretary of state for Scotland and brought one newspaper head line: "Macruthless." N e wspapers revived the old moniker "Mac the Knife" and several called it "The Massacre of Friday the 13th." Selwyn Lloyd, the chan cellor of the exchequer (treas urer), bore the brunt of the blame for the little austerity drive which froze white col lar and laborers wages. He was dumped in what some papers called "cold blooded" fashion. Return to Theme Replacing him is former Colonial Secretary Reginald Maulding who is expected to reverse the belt tightening drive and to try to return the conservatives to their "you never had it so good" theme, which won them an unprecedented third-in-a-row general election victory in 1959. Since introduction of the little austerity program backed fully by Macmillian the conservatives have dropped 14 seats in parlia ment by recent elections. Macmillan's arch foes, La bor Party Leader Hugh Gait skcll and Liberal Party Lead er Joe Grimond, called for an immediate general elec tion. But political sources said Macmillan engineered the reshuffle to give his gov ernment lime to recoup its popularity before October, 1964, the deadline for calling a general election. Labor Party M.P. Harold Wilson, the opposition for eign affairs spokesman, said Macmillian made Loyd and the other outgoing ministers the "scapegoats." He said, "When a company is facing bankruptcy through misman agement, it is usually the chairman of the board who goes first, not the executive directors." The sources said in recent days there had been a move to ease up on austerity but that Lloyd had opposed this. His refusal frightened some of the conservatives and they pointed to the spectacular loss to labor of the "safe" con servative white color constit uency of Orpington this spring. Portable Hospital Delivered to Agency Klamath Falls -H!PTi- A new 200-bcd portable emergency hospital was delivered to the Klamath County civil defense agency Friday and put in stor age.

U.S. Test Balloon Carrying Monkeys Drifts Northward Sunnyvale, Calif. tdlPD- A gigantic balloon, carrying a payload of two rhesus mon keys and four hamsters, was drifting over northern Can ada Saturday in a test of cos mic radiation problems. The test was arranged by Ames Research Center, Sun nyvale, Calif., and was de signed to find out about the radiation problems that will b e encountered by moon bound spacemen of the future. Brad Evans, scientist in charge of the project at the research center, said that at 2 p.m. PDT (5 p.m. EDT) the balloon was about halfway across Quebec province. "It started out a little fast er than we anticipated," Ev ans said. "But it has now slowed down and is about on schedule." The balloon carried the ani mals in one of five capsules slung below it as it towered over the capsules as high as a 10-story building. The balloon, about as big around as a football field, was expected to stay aloft until about midnight Sunday (PDT), when it will have floated more than 2,000 miles from its launching site in La brador to the vicinity of Ed monton, Alberta.

Alba Lawyer Slates A young law school gradu ate from Alba, Italy, Mcd forri's sister city, is sched uled to arrive here for a six week's visit on Aug. 1. ac cording to Robert Baccus, chairman of Medford's sister city program. The visitor, Pino Dutlo, 25, whose trip is being arranged under the auspices of the sis ter city program, will be the first citizen of Alba to come to Medford since the two cities affiliated about two years ago.

In his daily press confer ences Celebrezze neither dod ges questions, nor hedges in answering. He believes in holding nothing back, .even though the information might be unfavorable t6 his admin istration. , ' . Celebrezze, the most pop ular mayor the city has had, keeps in close touch with the public, attends all public functions and never refuses an invitation to appear at neighborhood meetings or cer emonies. In his eight and a half years in office, Celebrezze has never been away from his desk more than a few days in a row. Pointed Up While he has an abiding interest in civil rights and education, his chief pride has been in the city's vigorous slum clearance and urban re newal projects. His critical attitude toward what he considers inefficiency or poor planning was pointed up when a planeload of Cu ban refugees descended on Cleveland in February with out warning. Celebrezze worried about the refugees finding jobs in a city where unemployment at the time was higher than usual. He said he was not in formed of their arrival "un til plans were already jelled." He said he thought the cities jobless should get first choice on the available jobs unless there was a shortage of skills and the Cubans had the skills. However, he added, "Any one Is welcome to come to Cleveland, there are no bar riers here."
