Oregon Air Force Reservists Wait Duty Assignment Portland UPII Some 3 7 5 suddenly activated Oregon re servists tried to wrap up their business affairs today and awaited signs of whether they would be shipped away from home in response to the Cu ban crisis. Air Force reservists of the 313th Troop Carrier Squad ron, Detachment 1 of the 349th Troop Carrier Wing, and Detachment 3 of the 17th Aerial Port Squadron were placed on active duty at 9 a.m. Sunday. At a briefing at Portland Air Base, they were told they would remain here pending further orders, which could come at any time. After proc essing, they were given passes to return to their families and to try to get their civilian Oregon Ag Loss From Storm Set At $61,300,000 Corvallis Oregon agricul ture losses from the Oct. 12 storm have now been set at more than $HO million follow ing an areawidc survey, it was announced by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture Dis aster committee in Oregon. The summary of farm dam ages and losses Is based on re ports from the USDA county committees in all western Ore gon counties. R. E. Schedccn, Gresham, committee chairman and chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conserva tion state committee, said the $(jl.30u,000 estimated loss is undoubtedly conservative. Long term production losses from damaged orchards and other production facilities are almost certain to push present estimates higher, he added. Estimates of losses were made for farm buildings and facilities, orchard trees, farm woodlots, unharvestcd field and orchard crops, and live stock. Another damage item of immediate concern is the plugging of waterways with fallen trees and other debris that could cause extensive flooding during high water flows this winter, it was re ported. The Oregon report was filed with the national USDA Disaster committee in Wash ington, D.C. as a basis for making national disaster funds available to Oregon farmers. The stale committee is scheduled to meet again in Portland, Nov. 2. with rep resentatives of the national disaster committee from Washington, D C. to consider possible federal assistance tor restoration.

His four years in the Oregon legislature prove that he gets things done with fairness and dis patch. He will work for new jobs and pay rolls, an improvement in the lumber indus try, a firm stand on the Cuban problem, and economy in government VOTE FOR HIM lives in order in view of the activation. The callup came with little warning. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara announced late Saturday 14.124 Air Force reservists in the nation were being called up to man troop carrier squadrons. Early Sunday, Portland Air Base turned to local radio and television stations to broad cast an order to some 347 men in the 313th, plus smaller numbers in the other two units, to report to their duty posts at 9 a.m. At a briefing, men of the 313th were told by their com manding officer, Col. Vernon Acker, they were officially on active duty. In spite of the sudden call up, Col. Acker described mo rale as "excellent." Acker told tiie men they would receive passes as long as the unit remained in Port land. The call-up is effective for one year, unless the unit is "relieved sooner." The 313th is primarily con cerned with aerial troop and cargo transportation. Its equipment includes the Fly ing Boxcars used in heavy transport movements. Acker said volunteers were sought to bring it up to full strength of 409 officers and men. He said it is presently at 85 per cent of full strength. Second in Nation The 313lh last month rank ed second in the nation in troop carrier competition. Most of the men of the 313th live in the Portland area. The other two reserve groups activated in Oregon were men detached from the 34tlth Troop Carrier Wing out of Hamilton Air Base, Calif., and the 17th Aerial Port Squadron nut of Paine, Wash. Only small numbers of men are involved within Oregon. A number of the men of the 313th served In both World War II and the Korean War. One of them is T. Sgt. Kenneth J. Meyers, a Forest Grove plumber and father of six, whose only comment was "I'm ready to go again." Regional Edition Medford, Page 2A Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON. MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1962 Moonlet Launch Due Tuesday; XV Goes Awry Cape Canaveral - WPII - The United States, fresh from a puzzling "partial" success with its new Explorer XV satellite, went ahead today with plans to launch another artificial moonlet this week. The shot, scheduled for Tuesday morning, will at tempt to put a 350-pound "winking star" satellite called Anna into orbit to help mis silcmen and mapmakers ac curately pinpoint any spot on earth. Meanwhile, federal space agerjey scientists sweated over computers trying to figure out what went wrong with Ex plorer XV, put into orbit Sat urday, and how to cope with it. Officials said the 98-pound moonlet was spinning about 10 times too fast as it soared around earth - a problem which ruined some of the sec ondary experiments on board and may prove costly to its main task of studying man- made belts of radiation around earth. Scientists hope to put the Anna satellite into a circular orbit about 700 miles above earth in a geodetic research project with a military punch. Anna carries high-intensity beacons which will be trigger ed and photographed against backgrounds of stars as it soars through space. Once scientists know the satellite's precise location, they can in effect, look at earth from Anna's vantage point. Through mathematical com putations, e: perls will be able to determine the exact loca tion of the center of earth, various tracking stations and any other points on earth. Tickers Run Late As Stocks Advance New York - lUI'H - Stocks surged ahead early today on a volume of buy orders heavy enough to keep the high speed tickers late in recording stock transactions through most of the first hour.

Many issues were delayed in opening and finally got started on blocks sometimes ranging as high at 31.100 shares In the case of Korvelte which started with a gain of 2Vi. However, it was noted that nearly every issue Imme diately began losing some ground after its start and the market was normally below best levels but still sharply higher at around 11 a.m. Portland Expecting Another Elephant Portland - IWD - In what's becoming almost routine, Portland's zoo is awaiting an other baby elephant.

Cuban Crisis Continues To Be in Spotlight j As Candidates Start Finial Week in Oregon By United Press International Oregon's candidates, with tension eased In the Cuban crisis, bore down for their final week of campaigning to day with Cuba still a key topic. Chemical Farming Becoming Reality Corvallis - UPD - A Nobel Prize winning scientists said here chemical farming is be coming an increasing reality. Dr. W. W. Libby of the University of California spoke during two-day dedication cer emonies for Oregon State uni versity's $5 million physics chemistry building. He said the modern farmer becomes more of a chemical engineer every day. Dr. Libby said the day may be approach ing when large chemical con cerns will become interested in large-scale farming operations. Gov. Mark Hatfield issued a statement shortly after Pre mier Khrushchev agreed to dismantle bases and missiles in Cuba. "The policy of firm ness over hesitation has been proven again. We are grateful for this apparent lessening of tension," he said. "But," Hatfield said, "we dare not be lulled into com placency lest the cancer of Communist aggression break out elsewhere." Hatfield's Nov. 6 rival, Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thorn ton, called in Portland Sun day for "repeal or drastic change" for Oregon's new timber tax laws. He said Hat field never should have sign ed the 1961 measures which he said favored "his immense ly wealthy campaign support ers, the big timber interests."

Unander called Morse ' an advocate of appeasement" and said he has "consistently been opposed to any action that would take the initiative away from the Communists." Unander said "No weasel words, no flannel - mouthed statements he has uttered dur ing the past week can obscure the record of Senator Morse" in respect to the Castro threat. Morse planned to make a report on the Cuban situation tonight at a rally at Benson High school in Portland after a tour of Industrial plants in Portland and Oregon Citv during the day.
