Missiles
At U.S.
Boasts
Berlin -(UPD Up to 120 Rus
sian missiles are ready to be
launched toward the United
States in case of war, Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
said Saturday.
Speaking to East German
steel workers in Eisenhuetten
stadt, the Soviet leader gave
no indication whether the
missiles were based Inside
Russia or elsewhere. But the
inference was that they were
capable of reaching the Unit
ed States.
"The American imperialists
know that we withdrew 40
rockets from Cuba," he was
quoted as saying by the East
German News Agency (ADN).
Sacred Heart
Fund Drive Up
To $575,332
A total of $575,332 has
been accumulated so far for
the new Sacred Heart hos
pital at Crater Lake ave- and
McAndrews rd., according to
Paul W. Haviland, co-chairman
of the hospital develop
ment program.
He also reported that proof
of financial capability has
been forwarded to Hill-Burton
authorities prior to the dead
line. Plans to break ground
this year are ahead of sched
ule, he added.
The new structure will cost
$2,123,000. Hill-Burton i fed
eral funds already received
total $623,000. The Sisters of
Charity of Providence have
assumed a mortgage , .of
$750,000. A like sum is being
solicited from public subscrip
tion, Haviland noted. .
Magazine Shows Interest.
Pictures taken of the mock
up room of the new hospital
have been forwarded by re
quest to "Hospital Progress,"
a national publication and
will be featured in a forth
coming issue. This room il
lustrates the modern concept
in hospital construction which
is already operating success
fully elsewhere.
The public is invited to
view the special room on the
fourth floor of the hospital.
Medford Youth In
Critical Condition
A 19-year-old Medford
youth was taken to Rogue
Valley hospital in critical con
dition Saturday night after
his car smashed into a traffic
signal pole at the intersection
of Highways 62 and 99, ac
cording to city police.
Injured was Marvin Lee
Hamilton, 895 Gibbon rd. Of
ficers said Hamilton appar
ently turned onto Highway
62, abruptly changed his
mind and attempted to change
over to Highway 99.
Officers said the Hamilton
vehicle hit the steel traffic
pole head-on. The car was
demolished. Hamilton was
rushed to the hospital by
Medford Ambulance Service
"But we have set up 80, prob
ably even 120 rockets in other
places."
"Cuba is not the most con
venient place to base rockets,"
Khrushchev said. "We have
better places than Cuba."
Khrushchev's claim of mis
sile strength came fairly close
to U.S. Intelligence estimates
in Washington. A few months
ago it was estimated that Rus
sia had 50 intercontinental
ballistic missiles, but the Sov
iet Union could have turned
out additional rockets since
then.
U.S. Hat 400
The United States has at
least 400 missiles deployed
with nuclear warheads that
could be launched on Russian
targets. These include more
than 175 intercontinental bal
listic missiles. Another 160
missiles are aboard 10 Polaris
submarines which have been
commissioned by the Navy
probably nine-tenths of these
are ready to fire at any given
time. ;
There are also 60 Thor mis
siles mounted in Britain, 30
Jupiters in Italy and 15 Jupl
ters in Turkey.
Earlier, Khrushchev said
the United States had been
poised to invade Cuba with
300,000 men but was deterred
by the "powerful Club" of
Soviet military might.
More Escapes
He urged his audience at
the Eisenhuettenstadt Steel
Mills to work harder for
Communism in another of a
series of personal appearances
to boost sagging East German
morale. But the the campaign
suffered a setback Saturday
when two more Communist
border euards escaDed to the
West.
Other Communist guards
fired into West Berlin in a
vain attempt to stop one of
the escapes, the first time they
have done so i n some months.
Khrushchev and East Ger
man Party Chief Walter Ul-
bricht skipped the fifth ses
sion of the East German Com
munist party congress and
traveled 60 miles east of Ber
lin to the steel city of Eisen
huettenstadt, which until re
cently was named Stalinstadt.
While they were gone, an
East German border guard
risked death by crawling
through the barbed wire bar
rier and escaping to West Ber
lin in a hail of machinegun
bullets from his former comrades.
A few hours earlier, anoth-
ed guard had escaped unde
tected. Their flights brought
to six the number of success
ful escapes since Khrush
chev's arrival Monday. Anoth
er six refugees have fled to
West Germany.

Asphalt Could
Change Weather
Washington - (UPD-- Cheap
asphalt, spread over, thou
sans of square miles of the
earth's surface, could bring
rain to coastal deserts and
perhaps free cities of smog,
according to a scientist.
James E. Black of the Esso
Research and Engineering
Co., Linden, N.J., suggested
the method for improving the
weather in a report to the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
The energy which creates
the weather comes from the
sun, but first it is absorbed by
the earth's surface and then
returned to the atmosphere as
heat radiation.
Dark surfaces are better
solar energy absorbers than
light-colored ones. Black said
research with black asphalt
Coatings and coating contain
ing a while reflecting sub
stance, such as gypsum, were
carried out in Arizona.
Increase Temperature
Black absorbing patches, he
said, increased the soil temp
erature by as much as 19 de
grees, and white ones reduced
it up to 24 degrees.
Increasing the surface tem
perature 19 degrees. Black
estimated, would be enough
to affect the weather. ,
Twin asphalt coatings.
Black said, could be applied
cheaply, would last a long
time, and used "over tens of
hundreds of square miles of
the earth's surface," . they
could produce useful changes
in local weather.
"One possible application
for black petroleum coatings
would be for the covering of
large areas of arid land near
the shoreline of a sea or large
lake.
"This might augment the
intensity of the sea breeze
circulation, bringing in moist
air from over the water, lin
ing it to its condensation
level, and causing cloud for
mation and subsequent rain
fall."
"Bv calling the bluff in
Cuba," he added, "we made
freedom in Berlin and South
east Asia that much surer.
And a few short years ago
the Communist world wai
solid and united, its major
preoccupation today is a bit
ter internal quarrel between
its two most powerful lead
ers.'.' Johnson spoke before a
luncheon session of the na
tional committee which
wound up a three-day meet
in 2 held in connection with
the second anniversary 'cele
bration of the President s in
auguration. '
One major item of business
to be dealt with was choosing
the presidential nominating
convention site for 1964.

Domestic Peace
Corps Outlined
Washington -UPD- A cabi
net level study group has pro
posed to President Kennedy
the formation of a domestic
Peace Corps with 200 to 500
members this summer ana
expansion to 5,000 partici
pants in three years.
There is no aoum. aooui
the desire of the American
to give his brother a hand,"
the report to the President
said.
"The ' open hospitality of
the frontier still lives, born
of friendliness, charity and
generosity. This, enormous
force for the general good
can be accelerated by a presi
dential call for service."
The report, made public by
the White House Saturday,
was prepared by a special
study group assigned by Ken
nedy to fit together a pattcnr
for creation of a national vol
untary service corps, tht do
mestic equivalent of the over
seas Peace Corps.
who pledged that the Demo
cratic leadership in the Sen
ate would do all it could to
get Kennedy's $10 billion,
three-year tax-cut program
passed.
"Our goals in this Congress
will almost certainly center
on the tax cut," the Senate
majority leader said. "The
President has laid great stress
on Its need, both In terms
of its benefits to each Amer
ican family, but even more
Important in terms of putting
a surge forward into the na
tion's economy."
" Members of the committee
and other party officials came
here for Friday night's gala
celebration of the Kennedy
anniversary.
In the morning, a group of
20 Democratic governors ate
breakfast with the President,
Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kenne
dy, Johnson, and Democratic
National Chairman John M.
Bailey.
Bailey himself told the
committee that while the ad
ministration had won a great
election victory last Novem
ber, the results also carried
warning signals."
He said the Democratic
congressional vote dropped
32 per cent from 1960 com
pared with only 16 per cent
for the Republicans.
On the recommendation of
its executive committee, the
national committee elected
two new vice chairmen to fill
vacancies. Chosen were Gov.
Edmund G. Brown of Califor
nia and Mayor Robert F.
Wagner Jr. of New York.
Seven new committee mem
bers, chosen by their state
organizations to fill vacancies,

Harry D. Felt, commander of

Felt said he thought such a
development would worry

Asians. He indicated there

between a crude nuclear ex

officials believe China al

bombs and that it would test
them before the end of 1963.
'The exnert opinion avail

expect Red China to explode

future." Felt said, "the near
future being defined as the
next vear or two.

Outlook Held
Bleak For Other
Major Strikes
ITU Strike Fund
Reported 'Low'
By United Press International
Final recommendations ot
a presidential panel aimed at.
ending a month-old maritime
strike on the east and gun
coasts will be presented to
both parties today.
Sen. Wayne Morse, who
heads the panel set up by
President Kennedy, made the
announcement after meeting
separately with striking long
shoremen and shippers bat
urday. Morse urged that the
proposals be given "careful
consideration" toward ending
the dispute which has tied up
shipping and cost an estimat
ed $700 million since it began '
Dec. 23.
Morse summoned the nego
tiators for the International
Longshoremen's association
and the New York Shipping
association to an 11 a.m.
(EST) meeting in a mldtown
New York hotel today.
The outlook was bleak for
other labor disputes which
have clamped news blackouts
on New York City and Cleve
land, and halted public trans
portation in Philadelphia.
Mayor H. J. Tate appealed
to the Philadelphia Transpor-
t a 1 1 o n Co and Transport

said the ITU's- nationwide
rank and file would vote Feb.

sessment for the strikers.
Strong words were ex
changed in the other newspa
per strike, which has closed
Cleveland's newspapers for
eight weeks.
The striking American

charged in a statement that
publishers were not "bargain
ing in good faith" and that if
the Cleveland Press would
agree to an acceptable form
of union security the "guild
strike could be ended quickly

Gaitskell's Death Leaves Labor Party Near Chaos

London (UPD A power
struggle inside the Labor
party for the leadership left
vacant by the death of Hugh
Gaitskell threatened further
chaos Saturday to an already
troubled British political
scene.
Gaiskcll, 58, died Friday
night Just when the Socialists
appeared to be within grasp
of victory in the next elec
tions because of the troubles
besetting Prime Minister
Harold MacMillan's Conserva
tive government.
There . was no automatic
successor to Gaitskell and his
death apparently greatly
diminished Labor's chances
for success. Some of his
friends said he was worth a
million votes to the Socialists.
The Labor party is deeply
divided into left-and right
wings and it was Gaitskell, a
conservative Socialist, who
held it together. There was a
possibility the Conservatives
might take advantage of the
confusion now reigning in the
Labor midst to call a snap
general election.
Complicating Labor's trou.
blc was the convening on
Tuesday of the House of Com
mons to face critical issues
which will test the loyalty of
the two Labor wings and the
Conservative government it
self.
M.P.'s of both parties were
full of doubts and uncertain
ties over MacMillan's fight to
take Britain into the Euro
pean Common Market over
French opposition.
Many were angry over
growing unemployment. Even
some of MacMillan's support
ers have been openly hostile
to his decision to accept
President Kennedy's proposal
to abandon the Skybolt de
terrent and accept the Polaris
missile.
There was speculation the
confusion into which the
Labor leadership had been
thrown would prompt Mac
Mlllan to call an election. Un
der law he must hold one by
October, 1964, but he is able
to call one at his own discre
tion if he thinks his Tories
can win.
Before Gaitskell's death the
Labor party had been run.
nfng ahead in public opinion
polls and an anti-government
trend set In several py-eicc-tlons
last year. Political com
mentators agreed MacMUIan
could not call a general elec
tion until some dramatic
event changed things.
UH
HUGH QAIT8KELL
Worth On Million Votes
They believed success of
Britain's bid to enter the
Common Market provided the
main chance. Now the Com
mon Market negotiations ap
peared close to disaster be
cause of French President
Charles De Gaulle's opposi
tion to Britain's membership.
The big question was
whether the Labor feuds
could be hidden. Gaitskell
welded the party together by
his personal prestige after it
fell apart In the mid-1950s
over such issues as national
ization of industry, nuclear
disarmament and Britain's
approach to European unity.
He convinced the left-wing
that Labor th working
class party must modify its
socialist principles so as to
win the support of the grow
ing middle classes. He con
vinced the right-wing, mostly
influential trade unionists, to
cooperate with the left-wing
Intellectuals.
Labor's problem Is that the
two chief contends for the
succession to Gaitskell repre
sent those two wings. George
Brown, 48, is a right-wing
trade unionist. Harold Wilson,
46, Is a left-leaning Intellec
tual who wants Britain to
give up its own nuclear de
terrent. Labor's hope now appears
to be that the challenge of
the situation and the great
political stakes Involved will
produce a middle-of-the-road
man who could command
enough respect to hold the
party together. '
One man who might do It
Is James Callaghan, 50. He
has come up from a humble
background In contrast to
Gaitskell and former Labor
leader Earl Attlee who were
from the old privilege public
school system.
Another potential compro
mise leader ii Sir Frank Sos
klce, a "center" Socialist who
served as attorney general
and was a close friend of
Gaitskell.
The mechanics of selecting
a new labor leader will begin
at 5 p.m. Monday when the
"shadow cabinet" the men
who would serve In a Labor
government meet In Gait
skell's House ot Commons of
fice to discuss arrangements
for naming a successor.
