Revised, Approved
For Phoenix Area
Phoenix-A relatively quiet,
-but lengthy-public hearing
was held last night on a de
velopment pattern for the
Southwest Phoenix interim
zoned area.
During the session, the
Jackson county planning com
mission approved a revised de
velopment pattern for the
area; the majority of the
residents who were opposed
to zoning walked out of the
meeting; and a review of pro
posed amendments to the pres
ent zoning ordinance was held
with residents recommending
sevAeral additions
About 170 persons attended
the session which was a con
tinuation of a public hearing
held June 20 which ended in
a stalemate. Following the
commission's presentation ex
plaining the proposed devel
opment pattern, a vote show
ed 55 persons in favor of the
pattern and 51 persons
against. Some of the persons
attending the hearing were
not residents of the area in
question.

'Some Progress
Noted in Strike
Talks in
Washington -HJP1I- Federal
mediators reported "some
progress" today in efforts to
settle the two-month old iron
workers' strike in the Pacific
Northwest.
The progress report came
after an all-night session on
contract changes that broke
up at 5:30 a.m. (EDT).
The talks included confer
ences between union repre
sentatives and spokesmen for
Oregon contractors. There
were separate meetings be
tween the union, contractors
in Washington state and fed
eral mediators.
Outlook Hopeful
Negotiations resumed to
day and one mediator said
the outlook was "more hope
ful." He indicated the major
stumbling block - size of the
wage-benefit package - would
be discussed in today's meet
ings. The first marathon meet
ing was opened Wednesday
by Labor Secretary Arthur
Goldberg, who appealed for
quick settlement of the two
month old strike that has
stalled construction in three
northwest states.
The session marked the
first time that the Kennedy
administration has brought
both sides in a construction
dispute here lo seek agree
ment.
Goldberg said the dispute
in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho already has hurt the
national economy and added
to the problem of construc
tion unemployment in the
nation.

Oregon, the other with Wash

Soblen Appeals
British Decision
London -(UPD- Convicted So
viet spy Dr. Robert A. Soblen,
61, appealed today against a
court ruling that refused to
free him from a British jail.
The appeal was a last-ditch
attempt to escape return to
the United States and a life
term in prison for espionage
for the Soviet Union.
The Queen's Bench Division
of the High Court Wednesday
turned down his bid for re
lease on a writ of habeas
corpus.
Soblen's attorneys moved
against that decision today by
taking the case to the Civil
Court of Appeal.
Soblen was convicted of
wartime spying for the Soviet
Union and jumped $100,000
bail in New York to flee to
Israel last month after his
final appeal was rejected by
American courts.
Israel deported him because
he entered that country on a
false passport.

Saskatchewan
Proposal Gets
Cabinet Study
Saskatoon, Sask. - tUPD - A
spokesman said today the
provincial cabinet was "giving
close study" to a physicians'
proposal for ending Saskatch
ewan s 19 -day medical care
crisis.
Public Health Minister W.
G. Davies handed reporters a
statement reporting that the
cabinet was reviewing the
proposal after Premier Wood
drow S. Lloyd abruptly can
celled a news conference.
Guarantees Wanted
The doctors, who have been
on strike since July 1, said
they would resume services if
Lloyd s socialist administra
tion would first enact legal
guarantees that they could
practice outside the Insurance
Act if they so desired.
Lloyd himself termed the
doctors' offer a "major con
cession." When the strike began the
doctors demanded that the act
be scrapped. Later they soft
ened the stand to insist the
act be suspended.
New Stand Revealed
Dr. H. D. Dalgleish, presi
dent of the College of Phy
sicians and Surgeons council,
revealed the physicians' new
stand at the convention of the
province's ruling Democratic
party here Wednesday.
He said the doctors would
resume practice if the pro
vincial legislature was called
into session and enacted a
clause in the law providing
freedom to practice medicine
entirely outside the Insurance
Act.

Rome Hospital
Doctors Strike
For Job Security
More Pay Also
Sought in Action
Rome-OIPIv-More than 3.000
hospital doctors began a four
day strike in Rome today de
spile government promises
their demands for more pay
and job security would be
fulfilled.
The walkout involved about
a third of the city's 9.000 phy
sicians but provision was
made to handle any serious
or emergency cases.
Not Satisfied
A nationwide strike of hos
pital doctors had been sched
uled to start midnight Tues
day but a government prom
ise that they would gel the
benefits they asked resulted
in a postponement.
However, Rome hospital
physicians were not satisfied
and went ahead with the
strike Wednesday midnight.
The physicians who work
in government-run hospitals
around the country are ask
ing for more pay and an in
crease in the retirement limit
from 65 to 70.
The hospital doctors receive
an average of 60,000 lire
(about $100) a month but most
of them also carry on outside
practices.
Many of the hospitals are
set up by the government in
small towns, particularly in
the south, that are too poor
to support a hospital.
Unions Get Promise
Late Tuesday night Pre
mier Amintore Fanfani fore
stalled a countryside strike by
promising three doctors un
ions that Parliament would
pass a bill meeting their de
mands within a month.
Apparently doctors outside
Rome were satisfied but fol
lowing a scries of meetings
Wednesday the Rome doctors
decided to go through with
the strike.
Tbere was a possibility the
Rome action would trigger
strikes in other parts of the
country.

ing her first jump. From all
indications she had been
trained well and all the pre

Breakthrough in
Defense Test
First Successful
Maneuver Recorded
Washington -IUPP- In an
historic military first, a Nike
Zeus antimissile missile today
successfully intercepted the
nose cone of an Atlas inter
continental ballistic missile as
it was speeding at 16,000
miles an hour over the Paci
fic.
The three-stage, 48 foot
Army Nike-Zeus was fired
from Kwajalein island after
its sensitive tracking equip
ment told it the Air Force
missile was streaking through
space, probably 600 miles
high, after being launched
from California 4,500 miles
away.
An official Defense Depart
ment announcement said that
neither the intercepting mis
sile nor the target vehicle
carried a nuclear warhead.
Congressional Space Com
mittee Chairman George P.
Miller announced the Zeus in
tercept to the House and call
ed it evidence of "one of the
greatest breakthroughs" in
recent defense development.
"The country that comes
first in a defensive weapon
against missile attack is in the
driver's seat,'' the California
Democrat said.
Assistant Defense Secre
tary Arthur Sylvester refused
to expand on the statement
that the Zeus "intercepted"
the Atlas. It therefore was
not known whether there
was physical contact. Buv
Sylvester, noted a direct hit
would not be necessary to de
stroy an enemy missile when
nuclear warheads are i n
volved.
This was the first success
ful intercept by the Nike-
Zeus. A previous attempt was
"not a complete success.
In i u i n g the announce
ment, Sylvester said he had
"no knowledge" that Russia
had made such an intercept
although he could not deny
the possibility.
