Strong indications reaching the U.S. government from a variety of sources suggested the Soviets were hurrying to carry out Khrushchev's pledge that eased the East-West ten sion this week. However, there were re ports from Havana that Cu ban Premier Fidel Castro was trying to salvage a semblance of face-saving autonomy over the degree of United Nation's verification of the Soviet pull out. Mikoyan Going to Cuba Soviet First Deputy Pre mier Anastas Mikoyan left from Moscow today for Cuba in what appeared to be a trouble-shooting mission to tighten Castro's cooperation with Russia. Unofficial So viet sources said that Mikoyan and the large delegation he headed were going to Cuba to negotiate a Soviet-Cuban commercial agreement. Bui there was speculation the Soviet official's main mis sion was to shore up Russian and Castro prestige as well as to insist on cooperation from the Cuban leader. To Review Events Kennedy and the special executive committee of the National Security Council planned to "review whatever events happened during the day" when they meet at 3 p.m. (PST). This would be the second conference of the day between Kennedy and the group which has been meeting daily during the Cuban crisis. Press Secretary Pierre Sal inger said the President has not been in communication with acting UN Secretary Thant since the latter went to Havana to negotiate with Castro on UN observation of the dismantling.

MEDFORD, ismantlin fWinking Star Satellite Sent On Space Trip Cape Canaveral - (UPII - The United States has rocketed a ' winking star" satellite into orbit to help missilemen and map makers cope with the problems of a pear-shaped world. The 355 -pound satellite, named "Anna," was blasted into space by a two-stage Thor-Able-star rocket launch ed at 11:08 p.m. (PST) Tues day. After normal separation of the booster, the second stage ignited on time and sent the moonlet whirling into orbit. The second stage was re-fired as scheduled minutes later in an effort to make the orbit as nearly circular as possible about 70 miles above earth. The first serious experi ments with the Anna satellite Talent Districts Have Hearings Set For November 30 Talent A public hearing has been scheduled on the proposed formation of a South Talent sanitary sewer district, and Talent residents for the third time submitted petitions containing sufficient verified signatures for the formation of a rural fire district. The public hearing was set for 2 p.m., Nov. 30 in the Jackson county court room by the county court this morning. If the public hearing indi cates a majority of the area residents favor formation of I the district, a date will be set later for election of district directors. They in turn will set an election for voting on the required bond issue. In September the county court received petitions signed by 82 property owners requesting the formation of the district. Earlier. Consulting Engi neer James K. Hocy said the proposed area had been en larged to include the property from the present Highway 99 to Bear creek. Overall estimated cost for serving the area with a sewer system would be Slfil.485, without the city of Talent. The proposed sewage disposal plant would be a lagoon type with five-acre pond to serve ! 500 people. The general district would be assessed for the main ! sewer trunk and the residents for laterals serving their homes, it was explained. ' Fire District Petitions I The fire district could be fromcd if at least 200 signa Murcs of freeholders signed the petitions. They had 202, it was noted. The Jackson county circuit 'court this morning set 2 p.m.. Irs MOW0 THI 0 OREGON, WEDNESDAY, are expected to come in about four days, after scientists have had a chance to firmly estab lish just what sort of orbit it is in. Anna is a ball-shaped as sortment of radio transmit ters and light beacons brighter than the beams from most lighthouses. It is a strange sort of satellite in a strange sort of program. The shot was planned as part of a $12 million geodetic program whose goal is to find out literally what shape earth is in. From it may come all sorts of practical benefits, includ ing aid to missilemen in draw ing a better bead on their tar gets and geographers in the charting of the most accurate maps ever devised. on Dec. 5, as a public hearing date. Generally, the proposed district would cover the Tal ent and Phoenix rural areas, according to John Tompkins, Talent, who is spearheading the district formation. Residents of the areas in volved will vote, if at the public hearing a majority of the residents favor a district, for a board of directors to ad minister the fire district the same time the election is held on formation of the district. Claims Against Dogs Approved By Board The Jackson county dog control board has allowed claims against dogs totaling S504.90, according to a report to the county court this morn ing.

Review Unander Employs Loophole To Hide Identity of Contributors By A, ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington-(Special) -Sig Unander has employed a loop hole in the federal corrupt practices act to cloak the identity of his election cam paign contrluutors and the cost of his campaign agai! st Sen. Wayne Morse. Morse, for his part, has shielded the identity of the contributors of over two thirds of the amount he says he has received thus far in his re-election effort. Both candidates have filed reports with the secretary of the U.S. Senate as required by the Federal Corrupt Prac tices Act. The reports are de signed to reveal to the voters before election day the amounts and names of con tributors and the amount and purposes of expenditures. Of the two contenders, Morse was the more candid. He reported receiving $45, 121.58 and spending $14,733. 90. Unander swore that he has received contributions and spent no money in his cam paign. In so doing, he took ad vantage of a loophole in the corrupt practices act which some congressional candidates have used previously. The forms sent to candi dates, one to be filed by Oct. 1 26. the other to be filed after 57th Year Price 10 Cents No. 191 Curb on Inmate Labor Use Could Hike State Costs Appling, Belton See Costs Soaring Salem - IUP - Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. and State Treasurer Howard C. Belton estimated today that if organized labor is success ful in preventing the state from using inmate labor on state projects, it will cost an other $10 million a biennium to operate state institutions. They contend thai' the ac tion would apply to all warcte, not just inmates of the peni tentiary. Appling and Belton are members of the State Board of control, which oversees the institutions. The Oregon AFL-CIO has brought suit against the board seeking to prohibit it from using prison labor to build the new women's prison here. Printing Suit Expected They said they expect a "similar suit will soon be filed by the Oregon printing industry, joined by various craft unions." The laws being questioned, they said, apply not only to prison inmates but also to "all wards of our state Insti tutions." "Since Oregon has for many years relied quite heavily on these wards of the state to perform productive tasks in support of the operation of the various state institutions, it is apparent that a legal overthrow of the rtate use policy would shift a substan tial burden of operating ex penses to the taxpayers of Oregon," they said. Hatfield was not immedi ately available for comment on today's statement by Ap pling and Belton. Air Lift To India Starts This Week Washington -Mil- The Unit ed States will start air lifting military aid equipment to In dia this week, the State De partment announced today. Department spokesman Lin coln White said the equip ment, which India requested for its border warfare with Red China, is expected to in clude light infantry weapons, ammunition and transport and communications equipment. "We expect the first prior ity items to be airlifted to India this week," White said. White said the United States would provide airlift facili ties. Other officials said Brit ain and Canada were cooper ating with the United States on military aid for India. the election giving complete figures, require the candi dates to certify "that the fol lowing is a correct and item ized account of each contribu tion received by me or by any person for me with my knowledge or consent, from any source, together with the names of all those who have furnished the same, for the purpose of influencing the re sult of the election or in aid or support of my candidacy for election. . ." An official in the senate secretary's office said the loophole which some candi dates take advantage of is that no court has ever ruled on the contention made by some that a candidate in a major statewide race cannot have full knowledge or give con sent to all of the contribu tions made in his behalf, and therefore he can swear that he has received "none" and spent "none," as Unander haR done. In Oregon's 1954 Senate race, incumbent Sen. Guy Cordon used the same loop hole and reported no contri butions, while Richard L. Neuberger made a detailed re port. In the 1956 race both Morse and Douglas McKay made detailed reports. Morse revealed in his 1H82 report the source of a third of the money he reported re ceiving Ot the total, $31,- 588.17 was lumped togther .is KRISHNA MENON REMOVED Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, right, ousted V.K.

A Cuban government com munique Tuesday night said that in the first Thant-Castro session "Cuba clearly outlined its position and its points of view without reaching any agreement."

Tourism Is Important To Rogue Valley's Economy One hundred lourist fami lies vacationing In the Rogue valley are worth to the area the equivalent of 31 average truck loads of logs, or 2,000 boxes of top grade pears, or 25.000 dozen average eggs. The comparison has been compiled by Medtord Cham ber of Commerce Manager Don McNeil. He noted that in the 100-day tourist season in tiie Rogue valley there are approximately 50.000 vaca- tionirig families - each family j ley's economy. The 1961 csti accountir.g for 3 2 persons. imatc reports that Jackson In further illustrating '.he ! county has 24,400 families -value of tourists to the Rogue I less than half the number of valley, McNeil continued that vacationing tourist families' these same 100 tourist families I who visit the Rogue valley would be worth to the area each season. Prime Minister Assumes Post Of Defense Chief Krishna Menon Remains in Cabinet New Delhi, India - H!H . Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru ousted V. K. Krishna Menon as defense minister to day and took over the post himself. Krishna Menon was named minister of defense production in Ihe shakeup which becomes i effective Thursday. The change, which had been I anticipated, came as fighting simmered down to two ex changes of artillery and small arms lire in the last 24 hours for the quietest day since the border shooting intensified 11 days ago. Krishna Menon, who will remain a member of the cabi net in his new job, has been blamed for much of the in effectiveness of the Indian army in resisting the advances of the Communist invaders from the north. Critics charged that Krish na Menon had not made ade quate plans for defense and !Vuiu not equippeo uie uiupn rniy with modern automatic arms since lie became defense minister 5'j years ago. No Match for Chinese As one observer said, the Indian army was a fine walk ing force equipped to fight World VVar I. But, initially, it was no match for tnc Red Chinese, who were well-equipped with fast - firing small arms, heavy mortars and long range artillery. Nehru and Krishna Menon have been old friends since the days before Indian inde pendence, and the prime min ister in tile past always had angrily and heatedly defend ed him against all critics. But the initial setbacks in the Red Chinese invasion along India's northeast and northwestern frontiers show ed a grave lack of preparation by the armed forces. The storm of. protest against Krishna Mcnon's handling of the army mounted so strongly this time that not even Nehru stood up against it. Practically Powerless The acid - tongucd Krishna Menon had been considered practically powerless since Nehru announced last week that in future he would be re sponsible for all defense mat ters. Although Krishna Menon is retained in the cabinet, it is believed by observers that the end of the political line had been reached by the Russian- leaning, American-baiting dip lomat. Before the Chinese began their major offensive along the border Krishna Mcnon's popularity had been at the high point of his career. In the most recent election he had won an overwhelming victory at Bombay, and he appeared ' to be a principal candidate to follow Nehru as premier. But once the extent of the Communist invasion was clear, Krishna Mcnon's back ing dipped sharply.
