Medford TRIBUNE United Press International Full Leased Wire Ur.iird Pre International Full Leaded Wire 56 Pages Section A MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1962 Six Sections No. 164 57th Year New Rebel Yemen Government Gets Red Recognition Nasser Joins In Support of Regime Aden -WD- The Soviet Un ion Saturday extended diplo matic recognition to the new rebel government of Yemen and warned other nations to leave the Red Sea kingdom alone. The United Arab Re public also formally recogniz ed the new regime. The rebels' close links with Cairo were underlined when their new foreign minister, Mouhsenal - Eini, arrived in Beirut en route to talks with UAR President Gamal Abdel Nasser. He said Nasser, "as a great Arab leader, will surely dis cuss Yemenite problems." He said Yemen's people and army hack the new regime "and there can be no return back wards." Bearded Prince Seif Al Is lam al Hasan, who has pro claimed himself the new imam, or ruler, of Yemen, meanwhile was reported lo have reached Djeddah, Saudi Arabia, to try to marshall Ye meni tribesmen to fight for his lost throne. But the rebels appeared in firm control. They announced formation of a government Friday night and said they had executed 10 of the deposed leaders of the small kingdom. Yemen borders this British protectorate at the juncture of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Before boarding a plane in London for his flight to the Middle East where he plan ned to enter Yemen secretly the new imam was asked what he thought of rebel Claims he would be assassi nated if he set fool on the soil of "Free Yemen." "I think I will live," he said. "But I suppose assassination Is possible. It could happen to anyone." Observers were scarcely surprised at the alacrity with which Moscow recognized the new government. Both the Soviet Union and Communist China have been active in get ting a foothold there, and Rus sia recently built a big sea port for the country. Egypt's quick move also was not surprising. Leaders of the rebellion were reported earlier to have close ties with President Gamal Abdel Nas ser of the UAR. Two Yemen ites in exile in Cairo were named to the revolutionary cabinet. National League Race Is Not Over The Los Angeles Dodgers appeared to be trying to give the National league pennant away to the San Francisco Giants Saturday, but the Gi ants made only a half-hearted attempt to accept the gift. The Dodgers, assured of at least a tic for the pennant when the Giants split a double-header with the Houston Colts Saturday afternoon, failed to clinch it last night when they lost to the St. Lou is Cardinals 2 to 0. If the Giants win today and the Dodgers lose again, the two teams will wind up in a tie and will face a two out of three playoff for the as signment of playing the New York Yankees in the World Series. The Cardinals scored two unearned runs to beat the Dodgers last night behind the two-hit pitching of Ernie Broglio, a former Giant. HEVS(iBRIEFS ITEMS FROM EX-GENERAL SUPPORTS GOV. BARNETT Jackion.

Schirra leaves Pad 14 after going through a simulated test in his Astronaut Preps for Launch Wednesday Cane Canaveral HIPP U. S astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr. Saturday moved bag and baggage into a special "ready room" to wait out the last 72 hours before his planned 160,000-milc rocket trip through space. A small room in hangar S, complete with television and hi-fi, will be the home of the spaceman-elect for the next three days while he runs through the intensive physi cal and psychological tests that will clear him for Amer ica's third manned flight into orbit. Three miles away, techni cians worked around the clock to get Schirra's Sigma 7 space capsule and his Atlas booster rocket ready for the planned blast-off time some time between 8 and 10 a.m. (EDT) Wednesday. As of Saturday, the pros pects were good that Schirra would meet the schedule for the most ambitious spaceflight ever undertaken by a U. S. astronaut. The astronaut him self, fresh from a simulated flight Friday, was easing off in his training. The space rock et was in good shape.

Castro Warns U.S. Is Balancing on 'Brink of War' Moscow - fllPD - Cuban Pre mier Fidel Castro said Fri day night that "American im perialists were playing with the fate of their people, bal ancing on the brink of war," the official Soviet news agency reported in a dispatch from Havana. "We do not want and can not want war," Castro was quoted by Tass as saying. "Our people are working for the good of their country, for their own futures. We need peace, so that we should be able freely, without any in terference, to dispose of our energy, of our time, in order to work, learn and strive for progress." Tass' correspondent in Ha vana said the Cuban people Friday solemnly celebrated the second anniversary of the formation of committees to defend the revolution. The news agency said hun dreds of thousands of Cubans carrying flags and placards, gathered late Friday night in the Jose Martin Revolution Square for a meeting in hon or of the "glorious defenders of the revolution." Castro told the meeting that the committees for the defense of the revolution "are a powerful mass organiza tion," Tass said. "They have grown into a major revolu tionary force which strikes the enemies of our country with fear," the Cuban premier was quoted as saying. Tass said Castro ridiculed "the utter absurdity of the policy of the ruling circles of the United States which are drumming up a war hysteria in connection with the sign ing of agreements on econom ic cooperation between the Soviet Union and the Cuban Republic."

Calif. 33 SMU 3 Under However, Saturday's ruling specified that if Johnson be came governor or acting gov ernor, he would be subject to the same penalties that were laid against Barnett. The ruling apparently an ticipated the possibility that Barnett might go to prison and that Johnson would be left in charge of the execu tive affairs of the state. Johnson did not appear in court and the judges refused lo allow attorneys to speak for him. The court ruling or dered Johnson to do two spe cific things before the Tues day deadline: -To cooperate with the rul ings of the federal court. -To maintain law and or der at and around the Uni versity of Mississippi so that Meredith's enrollment would be facilitated. Contempt Ruling The court heard testimony and then adjourned until 3:30 p.m. EDT Monday. The con tempt ruling against Johnson was handed down from cham bers. When the court meets on Monday, it will hear argu ments by Mississippi attor neys that a temporary re straining order against state officials be dissolved. The or der forbids them from ob structing Merediths enroll ment in the university. John C. Satterfield, former presl- dent of the American Bar as sociation, will argue the case for Mississippi. Meredith himself testified briefly Saturday that Johnson barred him from the univer- sity grounds when he attempt ed to enroll on Sept. 26. "The lieutenant governor read from a paper he held in his hand," Meredith said, "and I later learned it was a proclamation." "Did you enroll in the uni versity at that time?" he was asked. "1 was refused admittance to the grounds by the lieuten ant governor." 9 Applegate Picnic Set for Thornton Attorney General Robert Y.

Federal Command Attorney General Hits Lawyers For Failure to Speak Kennedy Refers to Lack of Support San Francisco -0IPD- Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy said Saturday that neither the American Bar association nor '' many distinguished law yers of the state" have spoken out in the battle over integra tion in Mississippi. He made the statement in a speech to the University of San Francisco Law school. He delivered the speech over the telephone from Washington after the integration crisis forced him to cancel a per sonal appearance at the Uni versity and remain in the cap ital. Kennedy said that lawyers have "a continuing responsi bility to uphold the funda mental principles of justice from which the law cannot depart." Then, turning to the Mississippi situation, he said: "One of my great disap pointments in our present ef forts to deal with the situation In Mississippi has been, the absence of any expression of support from the many distin guished lawyers of that state. Respect for Law "I realize in that difficult social situation that to defend the fundamental principles of respect for the law and com pliance wilh federal court or ders would be unpopular and require great courage. "I also understand that many of them may not agree with the decision In Brown vs the Board of Education (the 1954 school integration case), but whether they agree or not, they still have their obli gations as lawyers and they have remained silent. "However, I might also note that there have been no pro nouncements in this matter by the American Bar associa tion." The attorney general called the role of a number of law yers who risked their careers in defending unpopular cli ents - from Alexander Hamil ton In the 1735 John Peter Zengcr sedition case to Har old Medina, later a judge, who in 1942 defended a for mer German national charged with treason. "AH these attorneys rose above the Interests of their pockotbooks," he said.

Clarence Eugene Bunnell, 55, of Wimer, was arrested on the assault charge at 3:47 p.m Deputies said the charge arose out of a family disturbance.

Issuance of the warrant followed an investi gation by Medford city police. Glenn Thinks It 'Very Likely' He'll Get Another Space Shot Beverly Hills. Calif. -flJPH Astronaut John Glenn said Saturday that he wants to take voyages longer than his first into space and thinks it "very likely" that he will. The Marine Corps lieuten ant colonel is in California to help man the Point Arguello tracking station during the scheduled 6 'i o r b 1 1 space flight Wednesday of fellow astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr. "There's a very good possi bility that I and the others who have already been in or bit will get another shot, per haps in a later Mercury flight, perhaps in Gemini," Glenn told a luncheon meeting of 0.1 NAMED TREASURER - Rep resentative Kathryn Grana- han (D-Pa.) has been named by President Kennedy to be Treasurer of the United States.

(UPD Another secret satellite was launched Satur day toward polar orbit, using the same booster rocket em ployed In the Discoverer se ries. In keeping with the Air Force policy of not disclosing any details on satellite launch es, spokesmen would not dis close whether it was a sky spy vehicle. But the one sentence an nouncement that the satellite employed a Thor-Agena boost er combination Indicated it was a Discoverer that blasted aloft from this Pacific missile range base late Saturday after noon. The Discoverer was one of the first and most publicized of America's satellites, achiev ing success in returning cap sules from orbit, testing speci mens exposed to radiation and other highly technical experi ments. No recent information has been given as to the-Discoverer, or what type of pho tographic equipment it might carry. Other so-called sky spies have been launched from nearby Point Argucllo In cluding the Samos and Midas detection vehicles. In keeping with the policy established this year, there will be no announcement on whether the satellite enters orbit. Crater Lake Ave. Speed Limit Cut The speed limit on approx imately 1 V4 miles of Crater Lake ave. has been reduced to 35 miles per hour, accord ing to City Engineer Vernon Thorpe. The new speed limit went into effect Friday between McAndrews rd. and Delta Wa ters rd., Thorpe said, at the request of the state speed con trol board. The speed limit on this section of the avenue had been 45. Thorpe said the state board had been requested to review the speed limit by the city. the Society of Experimental Test Pilots. Project Mercury is the cur rent series of manned space shots from Cape Canaveral, Fla. Project Gemini, due to begin in late 1963 or early 1964, will test two-man cap sules and space rendezvous procedures. Commenting on the space competition between the Americans and the Russians, Glenn said: "Our progrrm was worked out long before the first shot as the best way to go about it. We are doing It in an or derly way, and It Is paying off. Each flight has taught us new things without taking Military Police Sent to Border Of Mississippi President to Speak To Nation Tonight Washington -HIPP Presi dent Kennedy early today ordered in Army engineer battalion to move into Mis ilsiippl to let up t tent city for 700 U.S. marshals to deal with the state's defiance oi Integration orders. Washington -HJPD- President Kennedy put the Mississippi National Guard under federal command and early today sent a force of military po lice to the embattled state's border.' The White House said it was felt that the military po lice would not be needed. Ken nedy apparently planned to order the state's own troops, under federal command, to help federal marshals get Ne gro James Meredith admitted to the state university. Kennedy will speak lo the nation over radio and televis ion tonight to explain his dra matic moves. In a scries of rapid fire ac tions beginning shortly before midnight last night: - Kennedy ordered an un announced ouiriber of military police to gather at 'Memphis', Tenn. f , ., . . " Orders Halt '' - At 12:01 a.rn. today, the President signed a proclama tion ordering a halt to "ob structions of justice" in Mis sissippi, - Immediately he signed an other order authorizing De fense Secretary Robert S. Mc Namara to ?all the 7,100 Mis sissippi Gifcrdsmen to active s e r v 1 c a vnd use any other measures - regular troops if necessary - to force compli ance with a court order that a Negro be admitted to the state university. - One minute later, McNa mara, at home, signed an or der directing the Army and Air Force secretaries to take' over the Slate Guard. The White House insisted that "at present time it is not contemplated that any addi tional units will be needed." Acting White House Press Sec- rciary Andrew T. Hatcher sold it wbs thought that the job could be done by the states own guardsmen and U.S. marshals. Send Troopi Kennedy's proclamation de manding a halt to obstruction of justice was the last legal step he had to take before he could send troops into the state. It came after Kennedy re quested but failed to receive from Gov. Ross R. Barnett "adequate assurances that the orders of the courts of the United States will be obeyed and that law and order will be maintained." McNamara, the White House said, was sending Barnett a telegram notifying him that the National Guard was no longer under his control. Kennedy authorized McNa mara "to use such of the arm ed forces of the United States as he may deem necessary" to carry out federal court orderl in Mississippi. short cuts. "In the same way, it is felt that rendezvous In space with Gemini capsules is the proper first step to take before try ing to orbit or land on the moon." At an earlier press confer ence Glenn said one of the big worries about space flight be fore he made the United States' first such trip was the problem of weightlessness. "It turned out to be no prob lem at all," he said. "I enjoyed it. It was sur prising how fast one gets used to it. Within only a few min utes after launch I felt Tight at home and very comfortable."
