Amnrimn idbci trackers discovered tour pieces of the Russian rocke t in orbit around the earth - one of the few in stances of 8 detected Russian space failure. One of the pieces of "space junk" disap- nunreri nnnnrpnllv humeri to ashes on re-entering the earth atmosphere. A m e r 1 can scientists had said earlier that Russia might try to fire a Venus probe to outrace the U.S. launched San Jose Doctor Arraigned for Attempted Murder San Jose, Calif. - (UPI) - Dr. Geza de Kaplany was arraign ed Friday on charges of at tempted murder, mayhem and assault for the acid torture of his beautiful blonde wife. De Kaplany, a 36-year-old former Hungarian freedom fighter, faces a possible max imum prison term of 14 years for each of the three counts. The doctor, driven into a rage by1 suspicions that his 25-year-old wife was unfaith ful, admitted to police he poured acid on her face and nude torso, slashed her breasts with surgical instruments and injured her internally last Tuesday night. Showed Remorse His lawyer said thai psy chiatrists interviewing him found he "showed remorse" for his action. Further exam ination was planned.. Mrs. De Kaplany was taken off the critical list at the San ta Clara hospital Friday and doctors said they had saved the sight of at least one eye, but that the showgirl and model would be permanently disfigured. "Her face will not look as it used to, but there is a good chance she will be quite pre sentable," a doctor said. De Kaplany did not reply to charges filed at the arraign ment and presumably will not do so until Sept. 14 when he Is scheduled to appear in court and disclose his plea.

The 447 pound Mariner is now nearly one million miles deep into space on its journey to the cloud-covered planet. Facts Crucial Test But on Monday the Mariner faces a crucial change of course maneuver that will de cide whether it will be able to take a "close look at Venus." The three remaining frag ments of the Russian space vehicle are in relatively un stable orbits and are expected to have only a short life. Of ficials of the National Aero nautics and Space administra tion (NASA) predicted that they would burn up !'in a mat ter of days or weeks." However, officials said there was no firm evidence that the fragments were the remains of a Russian probe to Venus. Another spokesman indi cated that Russia might have tried to show its space prowess by firing an instrument pack age past the Mariner-2, using its more powerful booster capacity to turn the feat. Same Orbit Track The Soviet space fragments are at an inclination of about 65 degrees from the equator, officials said. This was the same orbital track taken by rtussia s twin space cosmo nauts this summer. But officials said "not much can be concluded" about the nature of the shot from the position of the fragments. However, they did say time was running out on Russia, if it hoped to launch a Venus probe as the planet was pass ing out of the ideal position for a launch. If the Mariner-2 carries out its mission it will be able to tell scientists if any kind of life exists on the planet. Other Instruments on board the package Include meteoric dust detectors and a device to scan the surface of Venus to determine its temperature. Fish Commission Plans Check on Oil Crew Blasts Portland - llll'l) - The Ore gon Fish Commission says it plans an investigation Thurs day and FrldHy Into charges that seismic explosions deton ated by oil exploration crews are damaging marine life off the Oregon Coast. Robert L. Rulifson, water resources analyst for the com mission, said the first experi ment will be conducted off Astoria Sept. 6. Specifically, it will be sought to determ ine if appreciable omage is being done to such species as sole, flounder and Pacific Ocean perch. A chartered trawler, the "Betty" of Astoria, and a Shell Oil Co. Seismic boat will conduct the work in an area between the Columbia lightship and Cape Falcon, in water 20 to 50 fathoms deep. The experiment will In volve catching various types of fish before and after a scries of detonations is set off in an effort to determine if there Is any change In abund ance of fish. Catches will be analyzed for species composition, size composition, total poundage oiifl for dead or injured fish. Expenses for the Investiga tion will be paid by oil firms engaged In seismic opera tions. In another phase of the project, Dungencss crabs of various sizes held In com mercial crab pols in waters off Newport will be subject to typical seismic explosions. Wheat Men Approve Marketing Quotas Washington -ItlfH- Agricul ture Secretary Orville L. Free man said Friday the narrow margin by which wheat farm ers Thursday approved 1903 marketing quotas demonstrat ed their discontent over the slow pace of farm legislation. Wheat fanners voting in a 39-state referendum approved marketing quotas for the 19U3 crop by a margin of 68 4 per cent. This is barely over the legislative requirement that two - thirds of those voting must approve quotas before they can be put Into effect. Of 235,606 farmers who voted, 161,242 voted for quo tas and 72,434 against.

Juras Regards New Federal Welfare Laws as 'Complex' Salem - (UPI) - State Welfare Administrator Andrew Juras Friday called new welfare laws passed by Congress "the most complex I have seen in my many years in public wel fare." He explained that he would have to wait until he read the directives from the U.S. sec retary of health, education and welfare before he would know how they would work. One new law would up the federal payment in some wel fare cases from 50 to 75 per cent of the cost. These are cases providing self -care and self-support services specified as likely to prevent or reduce delin quency and for the cost of Value of All Farm Assets Hits Record S207.3 Billion Washington -IIIPII- The va lue of all farm assets In the United States rose 3.7 per cent to a whopping record $207.3 billion on Jan, 1, an increase of $7.3 billion from a year earlier, the Agriculture department has reported in its balance sheet of aggriculture. Total farm debt reached a record $27.7 billion, up $2.2 billion or 8.9 per cent, from Jan. 1, 1961. The total debts were equal to 13.4 per cent of the value of farm assets. This ratio in 1940 was 18.9 per cent, and in 1950 it was 9.5 per cent. Equity $179.6 Billion The assets minus the total debt left the equity of farm operators and other farm own ers of farm property at $179.6 billion. This compares with the revised equity of $174 5 billion on Jan. 1, 1961. In 1940 the equity was $52 9 billion. Rising prices of farm real estate, the principal farm as set, accounted for most of the increase in total assets. Farm real estate on Jan. 1 was va lued at $138 billion, up $6.2 billion, or 4 7 per cent, from a year earlier. It was one of the argost annual increases in re cent years, The balance sheet of agri culture views agriculture as though it were one large en terprise. In efuct. it is com parable to a consolidated bal ance sheet of all farms, re viewing in general the pre vious year's financial condi tion o the agricultural econ omy. Gross farm Income of about $40 billion was nearly $2 bil lion higher in 1961 than in 1960. Although CNpcnscs rose, the realiied net income of farm operators Inrreaseri by more than $1 billion, or close to 10 per cent. The higher farm income in '.361, which resulled from strengthened markets for farm products and from govern ment payments to farmers un der the feed grain program, cased the current financial po sition of farmers. Mortgage Payment! Highar Panents on farm mort gage debts were somewhat higher in 1961 than in 1060, and currency and bank riepos its owned by farmers, which had dropped off in both 1939 M- aft U; I ". : K J ' .- training staff in the public welfare program. ' Rules for getting the added money are yet to be spelled out and Juras doesn't expect to receive them before the special Sept. 14 meeting of the commission which will approve the agency's 1963-65 budget. Juras said that the stale probably will be getting into the providing of day care nurseries for working moth ers under another new fed eral program. The state has been alloted $48,000 to set one up. Other new laws passed by Congress would allow per sons under the aid to the aged and 1960, leveled off during the year. The Improved farm income gave an added boost to the farm real estate market. Inventories of livestock and crops increased substantially in value during 1961. Num bers of both cattle and hogs increased and prices, particu larly of cattle, were higher at the end than at the beginning of the year. The value of sheep and poultry on farms declined in 1961 but the gains in cattle and hogs more than offset this decline. Crop inventory values were boosted chiefly by increased farmer owned stocks of cotton and soybeans. The drop In value of house hold furnishings and equip ment resulted from the de clining numbLr of farm house holds. Californians Flown To Eugene Hospital Frank E. Winn, 10-year-old son of Mrs. Mary Winn, Coa chella, Calif., and Ronald G. Bigard, 18-,vear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bigard, Fres no, Calif., were flown by Mer cy Flights Inc., Thursday from Bandon to Eugene. The boys were riding in a camper on a truck when it was involved in an accident on Highway 101 near Elk river bridge. Both suffered head and chct injuries.

J3J1382 Russian Landed By United Press International Anti-Castro Cuban leaders and a U.S. senator have voiced extreme disagreement with President Kennedy's declara tion that no Soviet troops have landed in Cuba. The reports that "Russian troops" have arrived in Ha vana, bringing with them heavy and long-range weap ons, and possibly rockets, have increased in frequency and in sistence in recent weeks. The reports sharpened ' with the attack on an American Navy plane Thursday by two ves sels believed to be Cuban. Kennedy has maintained that only Soviet "technicians" Tax Exemption on Evacuation Claims Favored by Group Washington - fUPD - Both the Senate and House were on record Saturday in favor of legislation to exempt Jap anese - American evacuation claim awards from taxation. But the fate of the House passed bill rode with Presi dent Kennedy's proposal to give business a tax credit for certain investments. Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R Calif.) succeded Thursday night in tacking the Japanese-American tax exemption measure onto the tax bill in an effort to speed Senate ac tion on it. The House already had passed an identical leg islation as a seperate bill. It was introduced by Rep. Cecil King (D-Calif.). The legislation would free persons from paying federal income tax on awards made under the Japanese-American Evacuation Claims Act of 1948. The awards were for losses suffered when persons of Japanese descent were up rooted from their homes in California, Oregon and Wash ington in 1942. Great Losses Kuchel told the Senate many of the Japanese-Americans had suffered great losses through being deprived of use of their property and through forced sale of aban doned businesses, farms and homes. "That act by the United States against some Ameri cans was a cruel thing," he said, "and the American people ever since have hung their heads in shame as they recall it." Now, he said, the Internal Revenue Service had decided that the awards were taxable and was "taking away, under the guise of taxation, a por Standard FABER Troops, Weapons Have in Cuba, Reports Say have been landed in Cuba, and not uniformed or unit-designated soldiers. Kennedy, at his news con ference Wednesday, said, "there certainly are techni cians there in Cuba. There may be military technicians." However, the President em phasized that "on the question of troops, as it's generally un derstood, we do not have evi dence that there are Russian troops there." Expressed Surprise The Chief Executive said this country has "no informa tion" about reports that the Cuban Communist regime had received anti-aircraft missiles. tion of the modest awards." The California Republican said that Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky.), a member of the Senate at the time the 1948 act was passed, had con firmed that Congress had not intended the awards to be taxable. Cooper was one of 10 co-sponsors of Kuchel's amendment to the tax credit proposal. $25,000 Damage Suit Filed Here Mrs. Betty Fichtner, 227 North Oakdale ave., Medford, is seeking $25,000 in general damages and $916 in special damages from the Chrysler corporation and Parsons Mo tor company, Medford, as the result of an auto accident March 19,-1961, according to a complaint filed in Jackson county circuit court. Mrs. Fichtner alleges she was seriously injured when her car struck a concrete abut ment at Table Rock rd. and Crater Lake highway. In the complaint she blames foot brake failure as the accident cause. The brake failed when she attempted to slow the car while making a left turn near Camp White, according to the complaint. She is asking for $466.05 in medical expenses and $450 for loss of earnings while recuperating from her injuries.

FUEL COMPANY Heating Oil Distributor MEDFORD He expressed surprise when told that State Department of ficials have previously indi cated that such missiles had been sent to Premier Fidel Castro's government. Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.) differed in the Senate Friday with Kennedy's state ment. 'T am reliably informed that between Aug. 3 and Aug. 15, at the Cuban port of Mariel, 10 to 12 large Soviet vessels anchored at the former Marante docks. The dock area previously had been surround ed by construction of a high cinder block wall. "The Soviet ships unloaded 1,200 troops. I call these men troops, not technicians. They were wearing Soviet fatigue uniforms. Keating said boats also were unloaded and "are now moored" nearby. "There is every indication that the naval compliment to handle these disembarked at the same time," he added. No Action Taken He said they could not "reasonably be called techni cians."
