Prime Minister Fights Demands For Resignation London -IUPD- Prime Minis ter Harold Macmillan, aroused by an angry exchange with opposition leader Harold Wil son, marshaled his defenses today against charges his gov ernment fumbled its way into a series of security scandals, . The harried Conservative party leader planned to wind up a two-day foreign policy debate in the House of Com mons with a speech expected to mention British security. which has been widely criti cized for alleged laxness. In the latest British spy case, Italian nuclear physicist Giuseppe Martclli went into the second day of a trial on charges of attempted espion age for the Soviet Union. He pleaded Innocent Tuesday. Macmillan was plagued by a scries of sex -ana -security scandals centering on former British diplomat Harold (Kim) Philby, resigned War Minister John Profumo, society osteopath-artist Stephen Ward and convicted spy William John Vassall. The scandals have brought demands for his resignation. Battle in Commons The 69-year-old prime min ister battled Wilson in Com mons Tuesday over the gov ernment's disclosure that Phil by had been a Soviet agent and the "third man" who tip ped off suspected British diplomats Guy Burgess and Donald MacLcan in 1051, per mitting them to defect to Russia. Macmillan -then foreign minister - defended Philby against such allegations in 1959. London newspapers have asked why it look Brit ish security officials 12 years to come up with this informa tion - and then to permit Philby, working as a Journal ist, to vanish early this year from Beirut, Lebanon, pos sibly fleeing behind the Iron Curtain. Cites Both Cases In Tuesday's bitter debate, Wilson cited both the Philby case and the call-girl scandal that forced Profumo to resign. The Labor parly leader pro posed that Maemillman name a minister for security and asked in biting sarcasm whether the prime minister was planning a one-man ju dicial investigation of the Philby affair similar to the one ordered Into the Profumo scandal, "assuming you have enough judges to go around." The Profumo scandal was kept before the public today by the resumption of the pre trial vice hearing of Ward, who introduced Profumo to call girl Christine Kcclcr and is accused of living off the earnings of prostitutes. Regional Edition Page 2A MedfordKITribune MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1963 's Charge Marks Gettysbura Observance Gettysburg, Pa.-IUPll-A rebel yell and a puff of smoke heralded the reenactmcnt of Pickett's Charge here today in the climax to the 100th anniversary observance of the Battle of Gettysburg. Confederate "troops" stormed down Sem inary Ridge and began the assault on Union positions less than a mile away to recreate the massive assault that marked the turn ing point of the War Between the States. The dramatization began precisely at 3 p.m. the hour Gen. George Pickett chose to send his force against Gen. George Mc Clcllan's Army of the Potomac. The Gettysburg Centennial Commission estimated 40,000 persons attended the color ful finale to the three-day observance. The historic assault was Gen. Robert E. Lee's last-ditch effort to win the crucial battle. About 15,000 sons of the South charged into the center of the well-entrenched Union troops on Cemetery Ridge and casualties were heavy. "Our men fell like ten-pins in a ten strike," said one of the few Confederate survivors after the clash. The thump and explosion of artillery shells, staccato rifle fire and blaring battle bugles accompanied the mock assault. However, since live ammunition is pro hibited on the battlefield by the National Park Service, the sounds of battle were piped through an elaborate stereophonic loudspeaker network. The recreation ended with soldiers from both sides joining in a gesture of national unity a pledge of allegiance to the Stars and Stripes. Actor Walter Abel assumed the charac ter of Samuel Wilkcnson, the war corre spondent who reported the action despite the death of his son in the first day of the battle. George F. Eliot, a military analyst, narrated the events as Wilkenson reported them 100 years ago. - The dramatization concluded the com memoration of the historic battle. The state of Pennsylvania expended $128,000 on the event. No admission was charged for any activities during the three days. A parade of the nation's military prowess during the last century highlighted Tuesday's centennial festivities. Some 6,500 marchers, 20 bands and 20 floats passed through the streets of Gettysburg in the two-hour parade. The Pennsylvania National Guard's 28th Infantry Division led the modern military section of the pageant. Another 1,500 "sol diers" actually civilians dressed in Civil War uniforms also marched. Boardman Park Officially Leased To Boeing Company Salem ttJPD- The 100,000 acre Boardman Space Age In dustrial Park was leased to Boeing Co. at a 10-minuto spe cial State Land Eoard meet ing today. The agreement culminated three-year drive to open the north-central Oregon area for industrial expansion.

Mark Hat field, who is ill with the flu, for the governor's signature. The $4.6 million lease coy. ers a 77-year period. Today's approval followed settlement of a technical ques tion which arose when the land board met Monday to sign the lease. Test Area Planned Robert H. Jcwett, vice pres ident and assistant general manager of Boeing's Aero space division, said the com pany will use the Boardman site as a test area in connec tion with its research and de velopment activities.

Slate AFL-CIO President J. D. McDonBld and Executive Secretary James T. Marr said today that while the new law violates in some measure the historic approach of progres sive taxation in Oregon, it has a number of basic advan tages." They said they liked the tax credit which replaces the former personal dependency deductions, and fuvor the narrow range of progress in the rate structure as a step forward. Both said they felt the new law was "far more advan tageous to families" than cither a sales tax or a gross Income tax. A petition to refer the tax bill has been filed, and a special election will be held if 23,185 persons sign the petitions.

"While current work is being done elsewhere, the addition of Boardman will enhance our test capabilities." The lease also was signed by William M. Allen, Boeing president. The lease, to become effec tive as soon as Boeing obtains possession, gives the Seattle firm use of the site for indus trial research and develop mental purposes until 2020. It provides for rental pay ments by Boeing of $60,000 per year, in quarterly install ments. Half of any sub-rental fees will go to the state. The state has 90 days to give Boeing possession. Formalities Left This requires only the com pletion of formalities under an agreement between the state and Army Engineers covering the waterfront area of the site. Under the agree ment, the state will acquire some 8.2 miles of waterfront, and the corps will reserve about three miles of water front at the John Day dam for public recreation use. The company first signed a lease for the property with the stale in 1961, but this lease never went into effect because the state's title to the land was clouded. The Navy had balked at moving its practice bombing range. The problem with the Navy has since been settled. The lease gives Boeing the right to go on the land imme diately, and it was announced Boeing would begin planning work at once. Oregon State Bar Protests Discharge of Seaside Judge McMinnville - (UPB - The Oregon State Bar Tuesday protested the city of Seaside's recent discharge of a munici pal judge. The bar said it would urge legislation to guarantee the independence of municipal judges. The Bar's Board of Gov ernors expressed the protest in a statement issued by Eu gene E. Marsh, McMinnville, bar president. Maurice Pyshcr, mayor of Seaside,' confirmed the resig nation of Frank Walters had been received. He said John Black has been appointed in his place. Marsh said the city officials apparently thought Walters "was not imposing stiff enough penalties . . ." Legislation Planned The statement issued by the bar said "The Board of Gov ernors of the Oregon State Bar has referred to its Com mittee on Minor Courts for study and preparation a meas ure to be presented to the next Oregon Legislature under which the State of Ore gon would guarantee the In dependence of municipal judges in Oregon from im proper pressure from other officials, such as that which apparently occurred at Sea side, Oregon." The bar termed the action 'grossly Improper interfer ence" with the judge's duties. Pysher said the police de partment was "demoralized" by the low fines and lenient sentenced handed down by Walters, a 70-year-old retired Washington attorney who moved to Seaside June 1, 1961, after. 41 years of practice, mostly in Seattle. "The police said they would not risk their lives to make arrests, only to have the ac cused turned loose with a slap on the wrist," he said. Pysher said the City Coun cil voted unanimously to re quest Walters' resignation. Walters said "No lawyer who has self-respect will sit on the bench and let anyone dictate; inferentially or di rectly, what he will assess as a penalty. That goes back to one of the bulwarks of de mocracy, the freedom of the judiciary." Walters was appointed April 1.

Harold oaKs oi tne Anti-Defamation league. Saks, of Washington, D.C., is administrative director of the league.
