Special Mediator
Holds Exploratory
Talks in Dispute
Washington - (1IPII - Special
Mediator John T. Dunlop con
ferred with union, and man
agement officials Tuesday in
an effort to settle the two-month-old
iron workers strike
in the Pacific Northwest.
Dunlop conducted explora
tory talks with spokesmen for
the Iron Workers Union and
representatives of leading con
tractors from Washington
State and Oregon.
A Federal Mediation Serv
ice official said the informal
discussions may continue to
day instead of a formal ses
sion that had been scheduled
at the Labor Department.
Dunlop, who was named a
special mediator for this dis
pute alone, is chairman of
the Economics Department at
Harvard University and also
heads a labor-management ap
peals board in the construc
tion industry.
Move Rejected
Contractors in the North
west have attempted to sub
mit the controversy to the
board for arbitration, but the
union has rejected any such
move. (
This is the first construction
dispute that has been shifted
lo Washington since the Ken
nedy administration took of
fice. Labor Department of
ficals said the length of the
walkout and the tieup of ma
jor construction in Oregon,
Washington and Northern Ida
ho prompted this move.
The union is seeking wage
increases of 33 cents an hour
for structural iron workers
and 38-cent hourly pay boosts
for rodmcn. It also seeks ex
tensive contract changes re
garding travel pay and is de
manding a single contract for
the Pacific Northwest.

In March for New
Federal Structure
Bids for a new federal
building in Medford are ten
tatively scheduled to be ad
vertised in March, 1963, with
b i d opening the following
month, according to Congress
man Edwin R. Durno.
The schedule was set ac

Durno said.

Leyen Resigns From
County Parks Group
John Leyen, Rogue River
member of the Jackson coun
ty parks and recreation com
mission, resigned from the
group today.
"There has been no develop
ment of rest areas or parks in
this locality (Rogue River)
during the three years I have
been on the board," Leyen
wrote.
"I have proposed some good
locations and had good coop
eration from people in those
particular areas. Some even
donated land," Leyen noted.
He said the people in his
area "are not very happy"
about the lark of park devel
opment in that locality, and
he feels he has let them
down. He noted, also, that
certain areas have had pri
ority, probably due to heavy
population and should receive
some consideration.
"1 have enjoyed working
with those on the board, but
do not feel I have justified
this community," Leyen said.
The county court was to
consider Lcyen's resignation
later today.

are involved in the site area,
several of whom have indica
ted they would sell or have

Cape Canaveral, Fla. -tUPIt-The
United States today rock
eted almost 1.000 miles into
space a 13-slory reflecting
balloon whose brief but spec
tacular flight appeared as a
brilliant star to many early
risers along the eastern sea
board. The successful test of the

the United States will beginjj
lauucning laie inis year - a
group of "mirrors in the sky"
to physically reflect radio and
television signals thousands
of miles around the earth.
Shot Successful
Scientists called the shot
"a 100 per cent success." Ro
bert Gray of the federal space
agency said it was "practic
ally perfect."
Packed tightly inside a can
nister in the nose of a Thor
hot rod" rocket, the balloon
was phot into the heavens at
1:30 a.m. (PST). Three min
utes later, it was released in
the black vacuum of space
and inflated to its 135-foot
diameter. The silvery sphere
rose to a peak altitude of
about 950 miles 12 minutes
after blastoff and then plung
ed lo a fiery destruction in
the earth's atmosphere.
Reflecting the first' rays of
the morning sun, the huge
balloon outshown the bright
est star in the predawn sky.
Pictures Taken
Scientists got a blow-by-blow
account of the flight
from launch to re-entry
through television pictures.
A camera located in the up
per section of the Thor boost
er focused on the eannister
the instant It left the rocket
nearly 200 miles above
earth. The balloon and the
rocket drifted several hun
dred yards apart until their
destruction in re-entry.
The televisoin camera was
destroyed on re-entry of the
rocket, but a second movie
camera was ejected for a par
achutc landing in the Atlantic
ocean about 400 miles south
cast of Cape Canaveral and
within 11 miles of a recovery
ship.

aboard a U.S. Air Force C123 transport plane which crashed
in Communist-infested country Sunday were found alive

Morse Demands
Kennedy Assist
Lumber Industry
Washington - 0IPI) - S e n .
Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) told the
Senate today he will not sup
port President Kennedy's for
eign trade bill until the Presi
dent orders relief for the de
pressed lumber industry of
the Pacific Northwest.
He said Kennedy should do
for lumber as much as he did
for the textile industry.
"Here's one vote against the
trade bill until we get justice
for the lumber industry,
Morse declared. He said the
administration so far has
given a "flat no" lo appeals
for a temporary quota on im
ports of Canadian lumber.
Morse said the situation is
"so serious that more than 200
lumber mills in Oregon and
Washington have closed in the
last 12 months."
Morse raised his protest
Tuesday at a Senate hearing
in which westerners proposed
amending the Jones Act to
eliminate what he described
as the Canadian advantage on
walerborne freight rate ship
ments. But he said Maritime
Administrator Donald W.
Alexander opposed this with
out offering the "slighest sug
gestion of an alternative."

find out what is under them.
What is there is meaningful
because it will help answer
one of scicne's oldest riddles
is there life on other
planets, or is earth unique in
this respect? Venus and Mars
are the only two members of
this system considered lo have
even a slim chance of posses
sing life as wc know it.
In the case of Venus, the
clouds blot out the answers
to important questions: Is its
temperature right for life, or
is it too hot or too cold? Is
there enough oxygen in its
atmosphere? Enough water?
Is its surface grassy or mar
shy, or a barren desert, or
perhaps one huge ocean?
If Mariner-1 can meet sci
entific expeclations, man may
have many of the answers by
the end of this year.
Within 10,000 Miles
U. S. scientists plan to send
Mariner-1 on a path that will
lake it to within 10,000 miles
of Venus at its closest ap
proach sometime early in De
cember. Meanwhile, an iden
tical mechanical explorer,
Mariner-2, is standing by for
a similar ride across space
sometime next month.
If both shots get off on
schedule and without diffi
culty, the United States will
have two "eyes" closer than
man has ever managed when
Venus whizzes by earth on
a comparatively close ap
proach of slightly more than
26 million miles about the
end of this year.
The Soviet Union also is
expected to take at least one
shot at Venus within the next
few weeks. By September's
end, the planet will be too
far away and will not be
back within "shooting range"
until early 1064

Because of Coup
Country Peaceful,
Junta Radio Says
Lima, Peru-(UPO-The armed
forces deposed President Man
uel Prado today. The army
announced that a military
junta had taken over the gov
ernment in a bloodless coup.
Hie United States promptly
announced it was suspending
diplomatic relations with
Peru because of the coup.
Venezuela, Costa Rica and Co
lombia also said they would
not recognize the junta. Vene
zuela called for a meeting of
American foreign ministers
to discuss the situation.
The national radio, which
is controlled by the army, an
nounced that the junta, made
up of leaders of the armed
forces, will be sworn in as the
country's new governing body
today.
Country Peaceful
The radio went on to say
that the country was peaceful.
It said the reason for Pra-
do's overthrow was that "it
has been determined that
there was fraud in the elec
toral process" in the June 10
presidential election.
It was announced that the
Junta will be headed by Gen.
Ricardo Perez Godoy as presi
dent. Other members include
Maj. Gen. Pedro Vargas Pra
da, commander of the air
force; Vice Adm. Francisco
Torres Matos, commander ot
the navy; and Gen. Nicolas
Lindley, III, commander of
the army.
The national radio said con
stitutional guarantees have
been suspended.
Palace Encircled
Prado was seized when a
column of 50 tanks and armor
ed cars rolled up to the presi
dential palace before dawn
this morning and threw a
ring of men and weapons
around the building.
An officer entered the
building with two presiden
tial aides. A short time later,
station wagon carrying a
group left the palace grounds
presumably including Prado.
Mariano Prado, a relative
of the deposed president, re
ported that the chief execu
tive was taken to the island
of San Lorenzo and confined.
San Lorenzo is on the Pacific,
where it faces the port city
of Callao. There is a prison on
the island.

recommendations that the
highway shoulders be widened

and a left turn holding lane
be provided at the intersec
tions. Last week the state high
way commission notified the
county court it proposes con
necting the Old Craler Lake
highway to Corey rd. and to
eliminate the present entrance
to Crater Lake highway by

gaged in unfair labor prac

Lumber and Sawmill Work
ers Union Local 3009 as ex

The company contended
that three men who signed un

thereby giving the union less
than a majority of the em

the union represented a ma

signed and that two of the
men were laid off only tem
porarily. Another $569,694 worth of
work has been slowed at Fair
view, Hlllcrest School for
