Record Year Voter Turnout Across Nation indicate Khrushchev Says Tests To End Nov. 20; Time for Agreement Moscow-IUPII - Premier Ni- kila Khrushchev announced tonight that current Soviet nuclear tests would end by Nov. 20, and said now was a good time for East and West to agree on an atomic test ban. But the Premier in a more than hour-long marathon of toasts and chitchat with West ern correspondents at a gala Revolutionary A n n I versary reception in the Kremlin, turned down the idea of a summit meeting on testing or any other issue at the moment. "At the present there Is no such necessity, he said. Alternately cheerful and deadly serious, Khrushchev stressed that the world had come "very close, very close" to a thermonuclear conflict over Cuba. He admitted that the Soviet Union had put 40 rockets on the island "for the defense of Cuba." But "what is 40 rockets?" he asked. "Now we have taken out our rockets and they are prob ably already on the way back." He claimed at one point that the Soviet Union was surrounded by rocket bases but added, "we still live, we sing and even dance." The Premier also Indirectly Indicated that the decision to withdraw from Cuba had been stiffly opposed by Cuban Pre mier Fidel Castro. 'The Americans said they would not attack Cuba and we took them (the missiles) away," Khrushchev said. "We assured the Cubans that we would not abandon them." "The Cubans said they don't believe, they don't believe. And we told them in that case it -would mean war. But we believed the President will keep his word. I want to be lieve him. If he went back on his word that would be an un reasonable step and would put us back where we were, back to a position of catas trophe. ' When reporters asked him whether tensions now had eased over Berlin, a subject ignored for the first time in years in the official Red Square holiday speeches to day, Khrushchev frowned. "The Berlin problem is not Cuba. Berlin, too, can create great difficulties for us. Therefore, the Berlin prob lem must be solved. We don't want Berlin. We don't need it. We ask for peace and a peace treaty. That we do need. Unify Behind President Seen Demonstrated 5 . ?

Miniature Bearing Said Breakthrough Fullcrton, Calif. - IUPH - A Southern California research and development organization has developed a miniature ball bearing which weighs only ll,000,000th of an ounce and is designed for motors almost invisible to the naked eye. Scientists at SUM1CS say this is only the beginning. They say they expect to de velop parts for even smaller molurs. Developer James Pelle of Lacuna Beach, Calif., said de velopment of the tiny ball bearing is a major break through in miniaturization and microanalysis which must Several days later the po- be employed on all kinds of lice followed up with another devices to be used in space flight for another radio chat.

Htrowbridge electric main and fir streets 773-6241 Washington - 1UP1) - Fair weather, hot local contests and the Cuban crisis were cited today as major factors in a surprisingly heavy turn out of voters for Tuesday s election. Reports from across the na tion indicated that the vote set a new record for off-year elections, surpassing by sev eral million the 48 million ballots cast in 19S8. One explanation for the record turnout is that the U.S. population has grown about 10 per cent since 1958. But political leaders said population growth wasn't the whole story. "I believe this heavy and unusual turnout by the elec torate reflects a desire on the part of the people to demon strate unity behind the Presi dent of the United States," said New Jersey's Democratic Gov. Richard J. Hughes. Cites Cuban Crisis Endicott Pea body, victor ious Democratic candidate for governor of Massachusetts said that "the Cuban crisis certainly had something to do with it." "I think the Cuban situation got people stirred up into taking a greater interest in their government," agreed Iowa's Secretary of State Mel- vin Synhorst. "The Cuban situation has alerted everyone to the fact that we are lucky to be Ameri cans and it is our responsi bility to exercise our fran chise to vote," said California Democratic Chairman Eugene Wyman. Other political leaders at tributed the turnout to a com bination of good weather, which prevailed over most of the nation, and intense inter est generated by hard-fought contests for state and con gressional offices. Big Organization Drives In Minnesota, Republican Rep. Walter Judcl, detcatcd for reelection, said the heavy balloting was "primarily a matter of organization." He said Republicans and Demo crats organized gcl-out-the-vole drives which "covered every single home in the dis trict for the first time in his tory." In the South, strong Repub lican challenges for many of fices which have gone to Dem ocrats by default in the past brought out an unusually large vole. Gov.-elcct George C. Wallace of Alabama said the nip-and-tuck race between Sen. Lister Hill, veteran in cumbent Democrat, and his Republican challenger, James D. Martin, was the obvious explanation for a big turnout. Texas also had a Republi can candidate making a ser ious bid for the governorship for the first time in modern history, and the electorate re sponded by turning out in rec ord numbers despite rain in sonic parts of the giant state. Rail Travel Once Thought Harmful Austin, Tex. - Mm - Man's knowledge of speed has come a long way since the last cen tury, the Texas State Journal of Medicine says. "After George Stephenson's locomotive reached the speed ill 30 miles an hour." the magazine said, "the Munich fol lege of Physicians issued an earnest warning against railway travel." "Trees and houses flash ing past the eyes would dam age vision," Hie warning said, "and the dizzy speed would bring on headaches and ver tigo. In England it was pre dicted that traveling at 30 miles an hour would cause insanity."

The home rule charters will give Lane and Washington counties new powers at the county level, allowing county governments to act in many areas without permissive state legislation.
