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.

Serving Summons Is Complicated

Serving a summons, as every

In Alaska it sometimes boils

were made and the summons
was dropped by parachute.

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

The Lane county board will
