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.

Montini Favored
Vatican City (DPB The
cardinals of the Roman Cath
olic church today entered
sealed chambers in the Vat
ican for Uie secret conclave
to 'elect a new pope. They
will not emerge until a suc
cessor to Pope John XXIII
has been chosen.
All but two members of
the'82-man Sacred College
of Cardinals were on hand
for the conclave. Dressed in
the violet robes of mourning,
they will spend the first day
of the conclave getting set
tled in their cells o? living
quarters. -Voting begins Thurs
day. Four ballots will be
taken each day until a pope is
named.
Church circles in Rome said
the election is the most im
portant in modern times. The
choice of the next pope will
determine whether John's
bold church reforms and
drive toward Christian unity
will be continued.
The two cardinals not at
tending the conclave were Joz
icf Cardinal Mindszenty, who
has been in the U.S. legation
in Budapest since the Hun
garian revolt was crushed in
1356. and Carlos Maria Car
dinal De La Torre, 66, of
Ouito. Ecuador, who is ill.
The top favorite as next
pontiff was Giovanni Battista
Cardinal Montini. 65, the
i "liberal" archbishop of Mi-
' lan. He was a close friend of
Pope John and was a top
contender to succeed Pius XII
in 1958.

Salem rtJPP Opposition to a
referral of the 1963 legisla
ture's tax increase measure,
and strong support tor a plan
ned initiative movement for
a new state constitution was
voiced today by Gov. 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

Compile File of Claims .
Branchficld recommended
that action be deferred until
the district has compiled a
file of unsettled claims. In
cluding those for which there
has been partial settlement.
' One of the major points of
disagreement between the
company and district repre
sentatives, Branchficld said,
was a dciinitlon of the word
accident, and what constituted
an accident under the terms
of the policy. . .
Branchficld also suggested
a delay of action until after
litigation of a suit involving
the company and David Doug
les High school, Portland, in
which the legal responsibili
ty of the company concern
ing policy riders may be de
termined. Branchficld's recommenda
tion was made at the request
of Ed Zorn, deputy Insurance
commissioner for Oregon, fol
lowing a recent conference
with him.
More than $6,000 worth of
claims still are unsettled,
school officials have pointed
out, many of them involving

A Senate measure now un

issue. ' -.
