Watching Johnson and Snider shake hands AmericansNamedjJohnson Calls For To Key Posts at Morse's Reelection Catholic Council Vatican City - WPP - The Ecumenical Council Saturday announced the election of 112 Roman Catholic leaders, in cluding 13 Americans, to key commission posts in balloting that indicated an apparent vic tory for church liberals over conservatives. The historic gathering of more than 2,500 prelates then issued a message calling for peace in a world menaced by the threat of thermonuclear war. It said peace and the need for social justice were two key problems facing the council. The peace appeal came at a three hour and 38 minute council meeting in which car dinals and bishops were des ignated for posts on seven of the 10 council commissions that will guide the delibera tions of the world-wide meet ing. Pope John XXIII altered existing regulations to make a plurality rather than an ab solute majority sufficient for election on the first ballot, which was held Tuesday. Total Number Vote counting was still un der way for posts on the re maining three commissions. The total number of elected prelates on the final commis sion rosters will be 160. An other 80 members are ap pointed by Pope John XXII1I. Observers said a reading of the list of those already chosen indicated considerable success for the liberal school which has been trying to re duce the influence of the Italian and Vatican-based clergy. The Italian clergy, some times accused of trying to ex ert too much influence on the council, won only 15 of the posts announced thus far. The U S. group was second in size. Indians. Chinese and the Church's only Negro car dinal, Laurian Cardinal Rug ambwa of Tanganyika, also were chosen.

FIGHTING REPORTED IN NORTH KATANGA Eliiabethille, Katanga. The Congo -Irl- Katangesa au thorities have reported continued fighling In North Katanga despite a cease-fire in the violence-torn area. By Record Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson Friday night praised Senator Wayne Morse as a voice of ''incorruptible intel lectual integrity" and urged the people of Oregon to re turn him to the Senate "with the largest majority in your state's history." Johnson told an audience of about 600 persons at a Demo cratic rally at Hedrick Junior High school that "fear of standing alone, of being branded a non-conformist, has never silenced the voice of Senator Morse." House Speaker Robert B. Duncan, Democratic candi date for Congress from the fourth district, introduced Morse to the audience as a man "who has never been afraid to say what he thinks." Morse, in turn, introduced the vice president. Alarm Buzzed Johnson, wearing i cliow rose in his lapel, spoke for about 30 minutes. The alarm on his wrist watch buzzed at 9:05 o'clock. As he shut it off, he grinned at the audience and said, "I wear this to tell me when I've talked too much." Then he spoke for 10 minutes more. Turning to international is sues, Johnson promised the Kennedy administration "won't permit Castro to lake aggressive action against any part of the hemisphere." "This country will do what ever must be done to protect the security of the United Body of Missing Man Found in Rogue River Gold Beach, Ore. -WPP- The body of a 32-year-old man was found in the Rogue river near here Saturday.

He said the U.S. will "co operate with its allies, and re spect the constructive views of those neutral nations who respect our views." But he said the Kennedy ad ministration has transformed the foreign aid program to loans Instead of gifts, and he emphasized that reviews are under way to cut out give aways. Morse praised area leaders for their work on the Rogue Basin bill and said that its passage will mean a "great economic boon" to southern Oregon. He promised, if elected, to go forward in the next ses sion of Congress with work on the Agate dam project. Morse told the audience he is being "subjected to the big lie technique" in this cam paign. Guttersniping "You are being told that Morse doesn't deliver," he said, "but that is just plain guttersniping." He said the Republican campaign against him was "an insult to the peo ple of Oregon." About 300 persons attended a dinner honoring the vice president at the Rogue Valley i Country club earlier in the evening. Some 150 persons were on hand at the municipal airport to greet his plane when it arrived at H:13 p.m. At the banquet, Mrs. Eliz abeth Poston, vice chairman of the Jackson county Demo cratic central committee, pre sented Johnson with a pair of myrtlewood bookends, a gift from Democrats in Jack son county. Johnson's twin-engine prop jet plane took off for San Francisco at 9:43 o'clock Fri day night. He planned a day of campaigning in the bay area Saturday. 18 Feared Dead in Collision of Ships Lut chcr.

A series of exposions rock ed the Norwegian tanker "Bo hemc" sending flames shoot ing into the sky. The vessel was laden with highly explo sive chemicals. The tug was towing oil barges. The dead man was identi fied as Hans Wollensen of Co penhagen, Denmark, second mate aboard the "Boheme." His body was found floating in the Mississippi. Seventeen of his shipmates are believed to be trapped and dead in the stern section of the charred ship. The thick, rolling fog was blamed for the flaming colli sion between the tug ' Bonny D" and the 10.400 ton "Bo hemp " 1, . i'y HM an De Gaulle Attacks French Supreme. Court Decision Paris - HIPP - President Charles De Gaulle's govern ment Saturday angrily charged France's supreme court with handing down a decision that encourages "sub version and violence." It did so in a strongly word ed reply to the council of state, the nation's highest le gal body, which ruled last night that De Gaulle had over stepped his powers by setting up a special military court of justice last June to try secret army organization (OAS) tcr orists. There is no appeal on the council's ruling. The decision, coming only eight days before the Oct. 28 constitutional referendum which will decide whether De Gaulle remains in office or not. hit the government with shattering impact. It was in terpreted as a direct slap-in-the teeth for De Gaulle at a moment when he is embroiled in the toughest political bat tle of his lifetime. Justice Minister Jean Foyer conferred hastily with Prem ier George Pompidou and la ter with De Gaulle himself. Soon afterward, the gov ernment issued a formal state ment which amounted to a virtual declaration of war against the council of stale. The government statement recalled that De Gaulle set up the military court by an order based on the April 8 refer endum vote which gave him full powers to bring Algeria to independence. He did so after the earlier military tribunal, which De Gaulle dissolved at the same time, had found extenuating circumstances in the case of secret army organization (OAS) leader Ex-Gon. Raoul Salan and had failed to sen tence him to death. San Francisco - H'PIi - The San Francisco Examiner Sat urday announced it was sup porting Gov. Edmund G. Brown for reelection. U.S. Nuclear Stockpile Said Enough to Washington - H'PP - Phys icist Ralph E. Lapp said Saturday the United Slates has stockpiled "enough nu clear explosives to over kill the Soviet Union at least 25 times." That being the case, "the unending production of bomb material by the Atomic Energy commission should be called off at long last," Lapp said, and the money and effort thus saved devoted to "science and atomic energy for peace." Lapp, a writer and lec turer on nuclear affairs who worked in the World War II atomic project, ex pressed these views in a new book. "Kill and Over kill: The Strategy of Anni hilation." published hy Bar Is Books of New York. By "annihilation" Lapp Hurricane Ella Swings Away from Eastern Seaboard Small Craft Warned To Stay in Port Norfolk, Va. -WPP- Hurri cane Ella, a monstrous freak measuring 1,000 miles across in spots, swung its highest 100 mph winds farther away from the U. S. mainland Sat urday but kept gales trained toward the eastern seaboard. At midnight (EDT), the Washington weather bureau estimated the storm center was 300 miles northwest of Bermuda, near latitude 35.5 north, longitude 68.0 west. Rapidly increasing its speed the storm was moving on a Northeast course at 15 to 20 mph. Ella appeared doomed to die in the cold north At lantic. "The hurricane is no longer a threat to coastal sections of the middle Atlantic slates," the weather bureau said. Lowered Warnings It lowered gale warnings from Cape May, N. J. to Cape Hatteras, but warned small craft from Block Island, R.I., to Cape Hatteras to remain in port. Forecasters said the area where the gale watch was in effect could expect rough seas, heavy swells and gale winds a short distance off the coast. Tides were expected to run 1 to 3 feet above normal Sat urday night in the area. "Winds along coastal North Carolina and Virginia are gradually decreasing and will be under 26 mph on the main land but 30 to 40 mph a short distance off shore," the weath er bureau said. It warned small craft from Block Island, R. I to Sa vannah, Ga., and those in ex treme southern Chesapeake bay to remain in port until seas subside. Hedrick Student Wins Bike Roadeo Gary Ray, a student at Hed rick Junior High school, was judged champion of the Bi cycle Roadeo Saturday after noon. He received a bicycle from Sim's. Saturday's bicycle riding skills tests, participated in by about 1)0 students, was the third and final examination in the annual event sponsored by the Medford Junior Wom en's club, the Medford parks and recreation department in cooperation with the Medford police and Jackson county sheriff's department. Sponsors of the Roadeo said that approximately one-third of those who participated in the third lest, qualified for the finals. The scores were so close that all finalists had to repeat all three tests written, mechanical and skills. Other boys who won were Gerald Redding, Hoover, ra dio from Newberry's; Bob Capscy, Hoover, camera from Weisficld's; and Rodney Ku schel, Jackson, watch from Zalc's. Gail Carpenter. Roo sevelt, topped the girls in the competition. She received a radio from Scars, Roebuck. Other winners were Teresa Ann Darby, St. Mary's, cam era from Ander s Photo shop, and Julie Ray, Westside. $10 gift certificate from Toy House. Julie is the sister of the champion. 'Overkill' meant destruction of both sides in nuclear war. "The United States cannot slop Communism by nuclear arms without destroying it self, nor can the Soviet Union overthrow capitalism hy force without suffering the same fate," he said. In the meantime, Lapp said, civilization continues to invest more and more of its income In an arms industry upon which it is becoming dangerously de pendent. "Unless there 's a dras tic change in the public outlook." he said, "the tri umverate of Congress, the millitary, and industry may condemn the United States to a permanent and ever growing arms economy." The upshot of a continu ing nuclear arm race be tween the United States HI eavy Fighting Flares on ed China-India Frontier Seattle World's Fair Readies for Closing Tonight Kennedy Cancels Plans To Attend Seattle, Wash. - (OTP - This city is scheduled to come back down to earth at midnight to night. Seattle has been In orbit for six months, ever since the Seattle World's Fair opened its gates April 21. But when the clock strikes 12 tonight, the exposition will close its gates forever. President Kennedy was scheduled to help ring down the curtain, but had to can cel his plans because of ill ness. The White House said the President would try to participate in the closing cere monies by long-distance tele phone from the nation's capi tal. Kennedy was to officially turn the U.S. science pavilion over to a non-partisan organ ization. The S10 million science ex hibit, which along with the space needle ana monorail shared the spotlight here for the last six months, is expect ed to he ooen for business as usual Monday. So will the space needle. But nothing else on the grounds will. ' Turn Off Neont Show street with Its bare bosomed beauties, risque pup pets and bearded beatnik ban jo strummers will turn off Its neons to await destruction. The Gavway with its 100 fnm hich snace wheel and wild mouse roller-coaster that has attracted close to 9 mil lion customers will lose Its laughter. Foreign exhibitors will get their passports in order; cook ing fires will be doused in the food circus, and astronaut John Glenn's space capsule will be sent to the Smithsoni an Institute. Nevertheless, the fair folk are playing the game up to the hilt. "We're going to have a show that will make a Roman carnival look like a maypole party," said Fair 1'rcsiacni Joseph Candy. "But I'll tell you one thing, ihis citv will never be the same again after this." Gandy is a happy man. Not only arc ticket sales expected to top 10 million, but the fair is ending with a profit something no other world s fair ever has done In a one season operation. Wanted Man Arrested In Jackson County . A man wanted by the Klam ath county sheriff's depart ment was picked up by state police Saturday evening and lodged in the Jackson county jail In lieu of S2.500 bail. Charged with embezzlement was Sidney Mactwen. police said an officer picked Mac Ewan up along the Jackson county highway around 7 p.m. Russia and Russia may well be a war in which th.re "can be no victory" for either side, Lapp said. He said it is to the inter est of both big nuclear pow ers to halt the race before Red China joins it. He said "The time is short; the 1970s will he too late." Lapp said too few indi viduals concern them selves with the possibility, or probability, that civiliza tion will destroy itself, ac cidentally or on purpose, unless there is disarma ment. "The srrangest aspect of our perilous times," he said, "is the ominous quiet. Probably never before In hiMory has the human race looked so much like sheep marching silent' to slaughter." v . - "'' ; - v L J'' V' vVTJ V( t J ' k 4 DONS RAINCOAT President a Chicago hotel lobby as he leaves for the trip back to Wash- uiBiuii auiurctay. tie cancelled the remainder of a scheduled week end campaign tour because his doctor found him to be suffering from a "slight Infection." -(UPI) 'Slight Infection' Forces JFK to Cut Weekend Washington -IUPI1- President Kennedy Saturday had to cut short his coast lo coast elec tion campaign tour and re turned to the While House to battle a feverish cold. The Illness was described as a "slight upper respiratory infection" which sent the President's temperature one degree above normal. He was hoarse when he awoke Satur day morning. Kennedy arrived at An drews Air Force base, Md., by jet plane from Chicago at 1:23 p.m. (EDT), and went immediately to the White House by helicopter. The In terruption came after he had completed only one-third of campaign swing. It was a combination of the cold and rain along his cam paign route that persuaded the President to follow doctors orders and cancel his remain ing engagements. Word was sent out to disappointed Dem ocrats in Milwaukee, St. Lou is, Albuquerque, Las Vegas and Seattle. Appeared Tired Sunny, warm weather greet ed him on his return to the capital. He walked from his jet plane, with a gray fedora in his hand, saluted an Air Force guard and strolled to the helicopter. En route to the plane from his Chicago hotel, Kennedy appeared tired and rather glum. A light rain was fall ing, and he wore the hat. This Deputies Check Fatal Shooting Sheriff's officers said Sat urday they arc still investigat ing the fatal shooti.ig of Al bert Jesse Conner, 59. Eagle Point, on the Tripod rd. near Prospect Friday. Deputies said Conner died of a self-inflicted wound, but arc making a further Investi gation. It was reported Conner and Arnold Wilmer Ragsdalc, Trail, were driving Into the Prospect area to look for cat tle and had rifles with them. Ragsdale asked Connors to stop because he saw deer. As he sighted In his rifle on the deer, Ragsdale dis covered It was a doe. But, as he turned around he heard a rifle explode on the other I side of the truck. Thinking ' Connor had shot a deer he I ran around the ether side and I found Conner's body. The body was taken to Con ger-Morris funeral home In Medford Services will be held at ,1 p.m.. Tuesday, with burial In the Trail cemetery. Kennedy dons his raincoat In Campaign was unusual for him. He ap peared to shiver slightly as he shrugged, into a raincoat and climbed into a waiting car. While slight, the infection was the President's worst ill ness since he rcinjured his back last year. He was trou bled by a cold earlier, this month, but shook it off with the help of aspirin and anti histamines and has campaign ed every week end of the month so far. There was no immediate word on what effect this lat est illnes might have on an extensive campaigning sched ule he has planned for this coming week. The infection struck after Kennedy spent a strenuous day campaigning through Ohio and Illinois. Rear Adm. George Burklcy, assistant White House physician, diag nosed the trouble as a minor cold In the upper chest. Since the President had been scheduled to spend much of the day at outdoor rallies, and since rain was falling along his route as far west as Albuquerque, the decision was made to break off the trip.

Fighting was reported con tinuing Ihis morning in the northern and western sectors along the frontier between the two Asian giants. India announced that up to 20,000 Chinese Communists attacking in human waves at two points of the border over whelmed a number of Indian posts and advanced three to four miles inside India yester day. The situation was consider ed so serious that Indian De fense Minister V. K. Krishna Mcnon called a briefing last night - his second of the day - to accuse the Chinese of at tacking after long preparation and deliberate planning while laming peace. Register Protest The Red Chinese loreign ministry, summoned India's charge d'affaires in Peiping, P. K. Baneriee. to a ore-dawn mooting today and register ed a formal protest. The offi cial Communist New China News Agency, which reported the meeting, described the protest as a "most urgent and serious protest." The Chinese Communists charged that the Indian gov ernment had refused to nego tiate the dispute and had launched "massive attacks on the Chinese frontier guards on Chinese territory," the Com munist News Agency said. "China has no choice but to rebuff their frenzied at tacks resolutely," the protest note said. . ' The Chinese said Indian troops had inflicted heavy cas ualties to the Chinese frontier guards who were "compelled to strike back in self defense." "The fighting is still going on," the protest note said. "The Indian government must bear full responsibility Uor alt the serious consequences aris ing therefrom." Ail-Out War Krishna Menon r' ' "i-d to describe the Chinese attacks as a formal "act of war" but it appeared that the two most populous nations in the world, with a combined population of bnc billion persons, were threatened with all-out war. Peiping continued to insist the Indians had attacked first. It said Communist troops had "recovered" the border posts of Khingsemane, C h e d o n g and Kalung in the Northeast area. India admitted the loss of Khingsemane, a mountain pass, and Dhola, its most Im portant border post. Peiping reported heavy cas ualties among Its own troops. It said fighting still raged to night in the northeast frontier area and in the Ladakh area, near the border of China's Sinkiang province north of Kashmir and 900 miles to the west.
