At 10 a.m. EDT Monday, renewed verbal warfare is scheduled. It took 10 hours and 12 min utes in two tedious quorum calls to round up 50 senators, the minimum for conducting business. Finally at 8:12 p.m. (EDT), the small opposing fac tion made no effort to block acting Democratic Leader Hu bert H. Humphrey's motion for the senate to recess until Monday. On one of the most unusual and unexciting Senate sessions in years, all but six minutes was devoted to the time-worn but boring pro ceedings of quorum calls. The first one required four hours, 50 minutes, and ended at 2:50 p.m. (EDT) when Sen. Milton R. Young (R-N.D.) turned up in golf clothes. But another quorum call began almost immediately on demand of the small band of Democratic liberals opposing I he satellite bill on grounds that it is a give-away of valu able government sponsored assets. The bill proposes to turn over operation of a a satellite network to private industry, under control of the government. The second quorum call was Inugher to meet and forced the Democratic leadership to require some members to hur riedly fly back to the Capi tal from distant points. It took five hours, 17 minutes to meet. tS(i)BR!EFS items from YJr 7 adounb thi oioii AMERICANS MAY BE RELEASED MONDAY Vientiane, Laoi-4ri-Pro-Communit Vice Premier Prince Souphanourong told U.S. Ambaiiador Leonard Unger Saturday the live American! end one Filipino held by the Pathet Lao forcei will be returned here Monday, Unger reported.

Scenic Oregon (Oregon State ----- r- ' anglers against a background timber cut from lands admin istered by the department's BLM in western Oregon. The revised annual allow able cut for BLM lands in Josephine county is 147 mil lion board feet and 27 mil lion board feet In Klamath county. The substantial upward re vision of allowable cut is bas ed on . the use of new and more accurate ways of meas uring timber. The calculated increase will provide enough timber to build about 15,000 i average homes and will furn- ish year-round employment opportunities for 1,800 peo I pie, it was explained. Will Be Necessary Supplemental congressional funds will be neecssary for advertising bids, timber cruis ing and other marketing costs, Secretary Udall noted. BLM State Director Russell E. Getty said plans have been made already to process the additional volume. They will be activated as soon as sup plemental funds are available. Besides the full allowable cut, plans call for offering some 96 million board feet of sal vage and thinning sales. An earlier increased al lowable cut announced just a i month ago reflected an in crease of 2fi million board j feet above earlier declara- tions and for the first time : represented an allowable cut I based on unified management i of all three rlasses of land.

Morse Calls For Federal Control Of Satellites Salt Lake City flJPD Sen. Wayne Morse, (D-Ore), said here Saturday night any satel lite communications program should remain under the "jur isdiction of the United States government." Morse, who delivered the keynote address at the Utah Democratic Nominating con vention here, said the bill as proposed by the Kennedy administration, was "preg nant with foreign policy prob lems and regulations." He urged the administra tion and the House and Sen ate leaders to hold off voting on the controversial piece of legislation until after the No vember general election. Morse said the administration-backed bill, which would create a government-controlled but privately owned com munications s a t e 1 1 i t e"pro gram, should be referred to the senate foreign relations committee.

Turning to the Medicare is sue. Morse predicted that le gislation to finance medical care for the aged under the social security system would be enacted into law "before long." He called for the election of more Democrats in the 1962 Congressional election to "en sure passage of President Kennedy's domestic program in the next session of con gress." He blamed a "coalition of conservative Republicans and Southern Democrats'' of blocking many of the admin istralion's legislative pro posals.

Algerian Premier Agrees To Form itical Bureau Ben Khedda Bows To Rival's Might Aiders - (1W - Provisional Premier Ben Youssef Ben ' Khedda bowed Saturday be fore the growing military might of dissident Vice Pre mier Ahmed Ben Bella and said he would accept the idea of a political bureau to run Algeria if the revolutionary parliament agreed. Ben Khedda called for an urgent meeting of the Nation al Council of the Revolution (parliament) to avert civil war as Ben Bella's troops invaded the port city of Philippcvillc and moved to within 60 miles of a mountain stronghold of Ben Khcdda's supporters. Rival Factions Peace talks were underway in Algiers among the three rival political factions now struggling for power, but a new threat of bloodshed was seen in ominous statements Saturday from former Minis ter Mohammed Boudiaf who threatened to fight to keep Ben Bella from power. There were these three po litical factions in the tangled mess of Algerian politics which has threatened lo re peat the chaotic conditions of the Congo since Algeria gain ed its independence early this month: -Most powerful is the fac tion led by Ben Bella who contends that the provisional government is illegal. Ben Bella commands the loyalty of most of the liberation army and now holds more than three-fourths of the .country. Holds Loyalty -Ben Khedda, though de serted by many of his minis ters, remains provisional pre mier. He holds the loyalty of troops of the third military district (Willaya) threatened by Saturday's troop move ments and about half the troops in the Algiers military district. -A new "third force" has developed in the past few days led by Belkacem Krim, a former tough guerrilla leader who has sworn to keep Al geria out of Ben Bella's hands, and Mohammed Boudiaf, an other unrelenting enemy of Ben Bella's. They more or less support Ben Khedda. The peace negotiations in Algiers Saturday were held between Mohammed Khider, an emissary of Ben Bella, and the fiery Krim. They met for 3'2 hours and appeared opti mistic afterwards that some solution short of war would be found.

Dauphin County Coroner Dr. Thomas Fritchey estimat ed the death toll would reach 45, but a Pennsylvania rail road spokesman called this figure "grossly exaggerated." The cars spilled over the embankment at 5:07 p.m. (EDT). The passengers, many of them children, were in two cars which landed on their sides. The other car landed rightsjde up. , , The six other cars remained on the tracks, although one of them was derailed. They were empty for other fans to board at stops along the 100-mile route to Philadelphia for the game between the Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

"We noticed some voire vol ume loss between Pans and Alba," Creager said, "which was apparently due to the difference in the kind nf cir cuits used in this country and in part of Europe." The voices of those who spoke from Alba were low in volume, hut were, In the main, audible. The voice of the Paris operator was loud and clear. The historic call was ter minated about 4 p.m. when the Paris operator advised both parties that Telstar was moving out of range. 5
