Condon, Ore. - (UPD - The

Stevenson Calls
For Accuracy by
Sen. Goldwater
United Nations, N.Y.-IUPli-U.S.
Ambassador Adlai E. Ste
venson today rebuffed criti
cism of his disarmament stand
by Sen. Barry Goldwater but
said nothing about the Ari
zona Republican's demand for
his ouster.
Goldwater, in a New York
speech Monday night, called
for the removal of Stevenson,
Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Ches
ter Bowles and Richard Good
win from President Kenne
dy's administration.
Not Quoted in Full
Stevenson, in a letter to
Goldwater today, said the
senator did not quote him in
full.
Saturn To Dump
Water Into Space
Cape Canaveral, Fla. - IUPP -
The United States plans to
dump 95 tons of water into
space this week on the longest
and most ambitious flight
ever attempted by its new
Saturn super rocket.
The shot, set for Friday,
could set a U.S. space record.
The water, if released at the
proper moment, should form
the highest and most expen
sive ice cloud in the history
of man.
The previous record for
carrying tap water into space,
65 miles, was set by another
Saturn rocket April 25. Sci
entists are shooting for a
manmade cloud 104 miles up
this time around.
There is no indication the
Soviet Union has put that
much water that high up in
space. For that matter, there
is no record of their having
shot water anywhere with a
rocket.
FAILURE NOTED
Salcm-iUPIi-Sprague H. Car
ter, Oregon selective service
director, said today that many
young men fail to register
for military duty within five
days of their 18th birthday.
uggests
e Fired
"I hope that as a U.S. sena
tor," Stevenson wrote Gold
water, "you feel some obliga
tion to be accurate and re
sponsible in your public state
ments and I trust you will
keep that in mind if you have
occasion to refer to any
speech of mine again."
Stevenson did not mention
Goldwater's demand for his
dismissal as permanent U.S.
representative to the United
Nations. A spokesman for the
ambassador said "his record
at the United Nations speaks
for itself."
Stevenson's letter to Gold
water said:
"I would be obliged if you
would not again distort my
utterances by quoting them
out of context. In the press
today you are reported as
saying:
" 'I am more concerned over
a civilian like Adlai Steven
son telling the United Nations
that we are prepared to take
'risks' to lessen the chance
of an intensified arms race
with Russia than I am about
military men who regard the
Soviets as an implacable foe
which will never deal in
honor.'
Paragraph Quoted
"You have carefully ne
glected to quote the rest of
the paragraph. The entire
paragraph, as you know,
reads as follows:
' "We have demonstrated
again and again during long
negotiations that we are pre
pared to take certain risks to
lessen the chance of an inten
sified arms race. But we are
not prepared to risk our sur
vival. If oilier nations permit
- as we have agreed to do -the
degree of international in
spection technically required
for mutual security, we can
end the arms race. But we
cannot stake our national ex
istence on blind trust - espe
cially on blind trust in a great
and powerful nation which re
peatedly declares its funda
mental hostility to the basic
values of free society'."
Vatican Orders
Change in Mass
Vatican City -OTIi- The Vat

change in the most devout
part of the mass since the 7th
century.
A communique issued after
today's session of the Ecu
mcnical council said the name
of St. Joseph, spouse of the
Virgin Mary, will be added to
I the canon or heart of
the Latin rite mass.
i The announcement said
: Pope John XXIII ordered the
change to become effective

Senator Names
Three Others
'Who Should Go'
'Civilian Thinkers'
Declared Wrong
New York -(UPD Sen. Barry
Goldwater (R-Ariz.) bluntly
suggested Monday night that
President Kennedy fire UN
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson
and other "civilian thinkers"
who he said have been wrong
from start to finish in cold
war recommendations.
In addition to Stevenson,
Goldwater specifically named
Chester Bowles, Arthur
Schlesinger Jr. and Richard
Goodwin.
Would Be Reassuring
"I suggest that it would be
reassuring to the American
people, now that President
Kennedy has demonstrated
the worth of a policy of action
based on American strength,
to rid his administration of
those who have consistently
urged a soft policy toward
communism, both in Cuba
and elsewhere throughout the
world. The men responsible
for convincing the President
that he could withhold air
support from the Cuban in
vasion can no longer serve
any useful purpose in our
government."
Bowles is the President's
special adviser on Asian, Afri
can and Latin American af
fairs; Schlesinger is a spe
cial presidential assistant, and
Goodwin is deputy assistant
secretary of state for inter-
American affairs.
Charges Guilt Complex
Goldwater, in addressing
the Wings Club here, said
Kennedy "should dispense
with the advice of men who
have developed a guilt com
plex over America's military
superiority."
Goldwater, leader of t h e
GOP's conservative wing, is
a military jet pilot and a
major general in the Air Force
reserve.
At a news conference prior
to the address, Goldwater ex
plained that "this is no re
flection on Stevenson's loyal
ty or patriotism. These people
have shown their inability to
understand the modern
world."
Goldwater also set out verb
ally after "the civilian who
yearns for the power he ob
serves so fearfully in the
hands of the military."
Cites Recent Talk
The senator said that only
a few weeks ago there was
disturbing talk about the mili
tary establishment growing so
powerful that it constituted
a threat which could be turn
ed against this country.
"Our apprehensions and our
worry should be directed at
the civilian in our govern
ment who docs not understand
military problems but who
seeks to 'command at all
times, in war as well as in
peace,' " Goldwater said, add
ing: "I am more concerned over
civilian meddlers who decide
that an invasion of Cuba
doesn't need air support than
I am over military men who
recommended use of enough
strength to assure the success
of our venture in the Bay of
Pigs . . .
"We arc In far greater dan
ger from the civilian theorist,
with his punch-card answers
to our pressing defense prob
lems, than we are from the
military man with his proven
knowledge and concern for
our American institutions."
Barton Lukewarm
On Tax Election
Salem - (UPD - A key figure
in the upcoming 1963 legisla
ture today indicated he is
lukewarm to the idea of a
special statewide tax election
during the session.
State Rep. Clarence Barton
(DCoquille), prospective new
house speaker, said he looks
upon such a proposal as "a
last resort."
Gov. Mark Hatfield said
last week he is considering the
possibility of asking the 1963
session to call a tax election
- to let the voters decide on
tax changes that might be
necessary to pay for the 1963
65 state budget.

Gale Warnings
Fly Along Coast
Following Squall
By United Press International
Gale warnings flew on the
Washington coast again today
after squalls hit Western
Oregon Monday, disrupting a
parade, and causing scattered
power outages and minor
damage.
The Monday rains and
winds were part of a Pacific
front that caused wet weather
most of the day. It hit hard
est around midday.
The weather threatened to
break up Albany's 3Vi mile
Veterans Day parade, but sun
shine graced the festivities

which was completed. Rain
struck afterwards and people
ran for cover.
Power Outages
Eugene clocked steady
winds of 35 miles an hour
with gusts to 48 miles. Scat
tered power outages were re

swept it over a house, chip
ping the chimney, and drop
ped it in the front lawn.
There were scattered pow
er outages in the Gresham
area.
Butte Falls Posts
Still Undecided
Butte Falls - The election
of two members of the Butte
Falls city council still is not
settled. Two write - in vote
winners have not yet made up
their minds whether they will

whether to accept the posi
tions. Next in line would be

Rogue Basin Group
Directors Clarify
Position on Letter
The board of directors of
the Rogue Basin Flood Con
trol and Water Resources as
sociation last night clarified
its position on use of a thank-
you letter to Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) in a recent
political advertisement.
The directors voted unani
mously to send letters to all
organizations represented in
the association informing
them:
1. The letter used by the
Morse supporters was author
ized by the directors.
2. That the senator's serv
ices in getting the basin proj
ect bill passed were "exten
sive and effective."
3. The names of all the as
sociation's member organiza
tions were on the letterhead.
4. It is hoped that all dif
ferences which existed now
are settled and the association
can work toward obtaining
$100,000 in planning money
for the project in January
and construction funds in
1964.
Authorise Letter
Directors also authorized a
letter be sent to Morse stating
the thank-you letter from As
sociation Chairman Ben Hil
ton, Grants Pass, reflects the
intent of the board to ex
press its appreciation for the
work done by Morse.
Although the organization is
non-partisan, such apprecia
tion should not be kept se
cret, directors noted. At no
time did Hilton say the let
ter's use was unauthorized,
the directors stated firmly.
