Liberal Slowdown
Cracked; Senate
Voles to Receiss
Washington - IUP1) - The Sen
ale leadership Saturday night
finally cracked a day long
liberal slowdown against the
administration's commnuica
tions satellite bill long
enough to recess the senate
until Monday.
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.

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.
Blocking Action
Morse was one of a group
of Senate liberals who have
been blocking action on the
bill proposed by the adminis
tration involving satellite
communications.
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. Funnies Missing tn

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.

told reporters that King
entered his office and refused
to leave, "so I put him out."
The sheriff at first refused
to elaborate but later explain

of the prisoners in city jail.
Campbell said he informed
King that detectives were
questioning some of the pris

them when they were finish

wait outside and King turned
his back and pretended not
to hear him.
The elderly sheriff said he
told King three or four times
to leave and finally drove
him out with a walking stick.

President's father, former Am

The residence is less than a
mile from the Kennedy "com

Salinger was asked about a
published report that the
President was facing a per
sonal housing crisis. This
stemmed from the expected
return soon of Morton Dow
ney, Irish tenor and soft drink

the Squaw Island home to the

The estimate of dead and
injured varied but officials at
Polyclinic and Harrisburg hns
iptals estimated at tcoct 99

Polyclinic hospital said late
Saturday night that "12 or

there and possibly "five or
six" other fatalities were en
route to the hospital. Harris
burg hospital said it had re

ic said it had admitted six of
those treated.
Recover Victims
Rescue teams, working un
der floodlights, were trying
to right two of the cars and
recover victims still inside
more than seven hours after
the derailment.
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

The train was about 3i

satisfactory. A similar check
was made with the tracking
station in Brittany, France.
At 3:45 o'clock, the call
went through to Paris,
France, via Telstar, and the
Paris operator then got
through to Alba, Italy.
"We noticed some voire vol
