MEDFORD nT A TT 20 Pages Two Sections MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1963 No. 77 v 1 li Red Space Team Returns Safely; Sets New Record Moscow-fUftl - The world's first man and woman space team returned to earth safely today. . . First to land was Valen tina Tereshkova, first woman to soar through space. She was followed more than two hours later by Cosmonaut Valery F. Bykovsky, who set new space and distance rec ords with a flight of nearly five days around the earth. The official Soviet news agency Tass announced the landings. Miss Tcreshkov, a 26-year-old bachelor girl, spent about three days orbiting the earth in a flight that was longer than that of all four American astronauts who have been rocketed Into orbit. Bykovsky broke the distance and endur ance records set by his fel low cosmonaut Andrian Nik olayev last August. Bykovsky, married and the father of an infant boy, landed at 2:06 p.m. Moscow time (7:06 a.m. EDT), Tass said. He would have complet ed five days in space at 3 p.m. local time, but he already had covered around 2 million miles in space. Valentina landed at 11:20 a.m. (4:20 a.m., EDT), Tass said. This was just short of three full days in orbit which she would have attained at 12:30 p.m. Tass said both Bykovsky and Valentina landed north east of Karaganda, Kazukh-stan. Friends, relatives, other cosmonuts and sports commis sioners possibly to certify the space records were on hand to meet the two Soviet space travelers when they landed, Tass said. The official statement did not say whether the cosmo nauts rode their space ships to earth. After a similar twin flight by cosmonauts Niko layev and Pavel Popovich last August, both were announced as having landed by para achute close to their craft in a region south of Karaganda.

Mark Hatfield. He said he hoped the pub lic would not support the tax increase referral. "I do not think It Is wise because In all probability it would necessitate a special session of the legislature," he said. "I think the recent 141-day session was enough. The leg islature has already demon strated that this is the best bill that they could come up with." Special Session Hatfield added: "If they couldn't . draft an acceptable package in 141 days, you can't expect more of the legislature In a special session. A preliminary petition to refer the tax measure was filed with the secretary of state Monday by J. Francyl Howard, editor and publisher of weekly newspapers at Al bany and Corvallis. On the question of a new constitution, Hatfield termed the planned initiative move ment "an excellent Idea." "I regret that the people are forced to take this action because of the Scnate'i failure to refer the new constitution to the people for a vote," he said. During the recent legisla tive session, the proposed new state constitution won ap proval In the House, but full ed by three votes of receiving two-thirds majority it The Jackson county budget committee and the county court were scheduled to sign the revised $4,612,291 new fiscal year county budget today.
