Sevastyanov, an attache at the Russian Embassy, who was ordered expelled from this country by the State Department. He is accused of attempting to coerce "John", a native Russian who is about to receive U.S. citizenship and who works for the U.S. government. "John's'' brother, Volodya, using the false name of Vladimir I. Gridnev, was brought over from Russia to assist Sevastyanov in Vote Tabulating System Will Be Tested in State Salem -(UPI)- An electronic vote tabulating system that could revolutionize Oregon's election procedures will be given a test run at the State Fair here this summer, Sec retary of State Howell Ap ping Jr. said today. He said if the test is suc cessful, it could lead to an overhaul of balloting methods within the next two or three years. The 1963 legislature, at Ap pling's request, approved a measure - w h i c h authorizes such tests. Plans for the test were drafted Monday at a meeting with Dr. Joseph P. Harris, professor emeritus of politi cal science at the University of California. Six Polling Booths Appling said the system, developed by Harris, will be tested at six poling booths to be set up at the fairgrounds. He said each booth would represent a different precinct, and he hoped to get from 10, 000 to 20,000 ballots. The system utiizes a small device into which a data proc essing machine card is insert ed. Voters, instead of mark ing an "X" on a ballot, use a stylus to punch holes in the data card. The cards then are fed through a processing machine which tabulates the results. The system was demonstrat ed to lawmakers during the recent legislative session. Appling described the sys tem as "the most significant development in the election field in more than 100 years."

Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. and State Treas urer Howard Belton officiat ed. When the postponement came after three hours of dis cussion between state and Boeing Co. attorneys, Appling announced both the state and Boeing had reached agreement on the lease, and the recess was only for the settlement of the technical question in' volved in the resolution. Sign ing of the lease will cap three years' work on the project to develop the park. Sam Mallicoat, director of the Oregon Department of Planning and Development, said agreements on the land transfers had been reached with all federal agencies, and were expected to be formal ized within 90 days. As soon as the lease Is signed, Boeing will be able to enter the property for sur vey work, Mallicoat said. He said agreement with the Navy on the cost of relocating its bombing range was achiev ed several weeks ago. The state paid the Navy $580,000 for its facilities, Mallicoat said. The Navy asked $650,000. The lease also contains a provision that the state gets half of any revenue charged by Boeing if it subleases any part of the property. The lease, which runs to 2020, can be canceled by Boe ing on Dec. 31, lj70, and at 10-year intervals thereafter. The lease fee includes quar terly $15,000 payments, a sur- rental of $35,000, and an agreement on the cost of mov ing the Navy's facilities. Boe ing win pay for the mov ing costs, or $75,000, which ever is smaller. Robert Jewett, vice presi dent and assistant general manager of the Boeing Aero space Division, said the site will be used as a test area in connection with research and development activities Howard Morgan Criticizes Hatfield Portland - IUPD - Howard Morgan, retiring Federal Pow er commission member who has been mentioned as a pos sible 1966 candidate for gov ernor, had some words of crit icism for Gov. Mark Hatfield Monday. Morgan, here on a short vacation, said he was "aston ished" to learn Hatfield had allowed 20 measures to be come law without signature. If a Democratic governor had done that, he said, he would have been accused of "cow ardice" by the opposition par ty and by newspapers. The former Democratic 3tate chairman indicated he has given thought to the gov ernor's race in three years. He said things to be consid ered in making i decision were hit finances and the "apparent disarray and con' fusion of politico in Oregon." , j Different People Being Involved In Forest Fires A different group of peo ple are becoming involved in the man caused forest and brush fires, forestry officials told the Keep Oregon Green committee and guests yester day. "Ordinary people are caus ing the big share of these fires as the lew foothills are being settled," Curtis Nesheim, dis trict warden. Southwest Ore gon district, remarked. "Most of the fires reported in Jose phine county last year were within a 12-mile radius of Grants Pass." This means an educational program is needed to warn the people about causing fires. Law enforcement is the last resort, he added. How ever, there are 9 or 10 burn ing permit cases scheduled before the Grants Pass jus tice court this month, he said. Causes Few Fires Forestry officials agreed that the logger now causes few if any forest or brush fires, and has a valuable re serve of equipment and per sonnel for fighting any fires which may break out. Robert Torheim, fire con trol officer in the Rogue River National forest, said in the national forest recrea tionisls are the biggest cause of man-caused fires. Unat tended camp fires followed by careless smokers are the two main contributors. However, it is difficult to pin down a fire cause to smoking, he added. The 1963 blow down in the Prospect and Union Creek areas will be a major fire hazard, particularly since the down timber is near the road, forestry officials said. Al Wisendanger, Salem, of the state Keep Oregon Green committee, displayed signs, litter bags, neckties and vari ous items to promote the slo gan, "Keep Oregon Green."

Labor Leader's Demand Enrages Prime Minister Name-Calling Flares In Commons Debate London-IUPH-Prime Minister Harold Macmillan angrily de fended his part in the "third man" security case today in a bitter, name-calling House of Commons debate. Opposition Labor party leader Harold Wilson enraged Macmillan by demanding he appoint a minister of security to end the nation's series of security scandals. Macmillan pigeon-holed the demand and accused Wilson of "invective and insolence." The parliamentary battle erupted over Monday s revela tion that Harold Philby, for mer British diplomat In Wash ington, was indeed the "third man" whose tipoff allowed turncoat diplomats Guy Bur gess and Donald MacLcan to skip behind the Iron Curtain. Philby Removed Macmillan said the Burgess and MacLcan flight occurred in 1951 under a Labor govern ment. When Macmillan's Con servative party came to pow er, he said, Philby was "got rid of. The Laborites derided Mac millan for denying in 1955 when Macmillan was foreign secretary that Philby was the "third man ' In the Wash ington Embassy who tiped off Burgess and MacLean. Today Macmillan said his 1955 an swer was based on informa tion then available. The Laborites jeered. Forced by Papers Wilson charged that "Amer ican newspaper revelations" forced Macmillan's Lord Privy Seal, Edward Heath, to announce Monday that Philby was the "third man." Labor M.P. P. Arthur Henderson de manded to know if- President Kennedy got a report from Macmillan on the Philby case and Britain's other security woes. Macmillan referred Hender son to his Sunday joint com munique with Kennedy. The communique did not mention any such item in their week end talks at Macmillan's coun try house.

Martelli work ed on an atoms-for-peace pro gram at the government's Har well Nuclear Research Sta tion. Khrushchev Again Calls for Treaty Berlin-H'PIt-Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev said today the "Damocles sword of war" still hangs over the world and once again called for conclu sion of a German peace treaty. But he . again refrained from setting a deadline for the signing of such a treaty.
