suddenly activated Oregon re
servists tried to wrap up their
business affairs today and
awaited signs of whether they

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

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.

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."

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.
Brokers considered the
sharp upward movement to
be a national expression of re
lief over the apparent easing
of international tensions in
the Cuban situation.
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.

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

ly wealthy campaign support
ers, the big timber interests."

Wayne Morse, in an address
prepared for delivery to the

merce today, reiterated his

ing the past week can obscure
the record of Senator Morse"
in respect to the Castro threat.
