range Russian reconnais
planes made nine passes ,
the huge aircraft carrier C
stellation in the Pacific March
16.
The Defense department an
nounced the episode Monday.
The "snooping"-the third such
case reported recently - took
place 600 miles west of Mid
way Island.
The carrier's radar spotted
the long-range Bear reconnais
ance planes when they were
more than 200 miles away. Jet
interceptors from the Constel
lation carried out a "routine
aerial intercept" about 100
miles from the ship.
First in Pacific
The Incident was disclosed
two days after the report that
Russian planes penetrated
U.S. air space over southwest
ern Alaska March 14. Before
that, Defense Secretary Rob
ert S. McNamara had an
nounced that Russian recon
naissance planes flew over
carriers of both the Atlantic
and Pacific fleets in January
and February.
The overflight of the Con
stellation was the first time
the long-range Bears have
surveyed navy ships in the
Pacific. Other such flights
were carried out by shorter
range planes nearer to land.
The Bear has a range of per
haps 8,000 miles. The Con
stellation was en route from
Pearl Harbor to Subic Bay
in the Philippines at the time.
Make Two Passes
The Bears made two passes
at 24,000 feet and seven below
3,000 feet. The 10 aircraft
sent up from the Constella
tion escorted the Bears in
their overflights,
The Pentagon said the Con
stellation was in international
waters and the Russian planes
had a "legal right to be in the
air over these, waters."
On Feb. 22,' the Bears ex
hibited their great range by
flying over the Carrier For
restal southeast of the Azores.
The flights must have meant
7,000 mile round-trips from
the nearest Russian bases.

heaters for best results and
the importance of sheltering
the thermometer.
The importance and mean
ing of dewpoint, temperature
inversion, ceiling and other
less tangible factors also will

Dellenback's Cat
Bill Passes Mouse
Salem - OIPIi - The Oregon
House played cal and mouse
with Rep. John Dellenback
for a while thia morning be
fore passing his cat control
bill 32-26.
Colleagues in a kittenish
mood kidded the Medford
lawmaker.
One read from a veto mes
sage by former Illinois Gov.
Adlal Stevenson saying cat
control, carried to the ulti
mate conclusion, could even
lead to stale interference in
the traditional struggle of
bird versus worm.
There wasn't any pussyfoot
ing on the part of Dellenback.
Gravely serious except for an
enigmatic smile, he explained
the bill was permissive legis
lation to let counties with
stray cat problems take steps
to control them in a humani
tarian manner.
He said stray cats in Jack
on county threatened game
birds and could spread diseases.

Against Impairment
Salem flTPD "Impairment
of our educational quality"
will be the immediate result
of a change in the student
teacher ratio, Chancellor Roy
E. Lieuallen said Monday.
He testified before the
Ways and Means subcommit
tee considering the higher
education budget.
The subcommittee voted re
cently that the higher educa
tion system should have one
teacher per 17 students, in
stead of one per 16.1 as re
quested both by the system
and by the governor.
Lieuallen said it would
mean hiring 105 fewer teach
ers than planned, with a re
sulting heavier workload on
the rest.
Lieuallen said If the sub
committee decision was based
on fiscal reasons, "I do not
wish to remonstrate."
But, he said, "if the de
cision reflects an educational,
rather than a fiscal, judg
ment," it should be reviewed.
charges of "meat cleaver"
budget cuts and his promise
of a "bare-knucl-le" fight to
save civil defense,
Dellenback defended both
Hatfield and the CD agency.
"The state Is obligated to
plan for disaster," he said.
"It Is Imperative that basic
planning be done to prepare
for a real disaster."
He said that through civil
defense there was a "funda
mental program In Oregon
that Is prepared to face either
a major disaster or military
attack."
"If we emasculate our civil
defense program so It no
longer can make plans, we
are taking a serious backward
rlep," he said.
