Newspaper Page Textbnators Hair Arguments on Dunes Seashore Boundaries Public Unveiling of XB70 Airplane Big Headache for Defense Department Washinaton--The XB70, one of the most controversial and revolutionary aircraft ever built, is scheduled to roll off a Falmdale, caw., assembly plant in August or September, and the Penta gon is in a dilemma about how to handle this major news event, Years in construction and the source of continuous trie tion within and between the Executive branch and Corv Kress, the XB70 is the expert mental plane which the Air Force had hoped to develop into a reconnaissance and missile-armed strike craft called RS70. . What do you do when you publicly unveil a Jet aircraft which is tne tasiesi u.uuu mph), hlghest-flying (70,000 feet-plus) and heaviest (more than 850,000 pounds) there ever was, but which you do hot intend to put into pro duction? How do you handle the roll-out ceremony, a tr ditional milestone with new planes, and what do you say to the public about the re markable machine being dis played? Solution Sought These are questions the De. tense Department, in the per son of Assistant Secretary Ar thur Sylvester, and the Air Force are debating and seek ing to resolve. r Sylvester gave assurance, -in answer to questions, that the rollout date will be an nounced In advance and the press will be present to cover the event. But somehow an effort will be made to play the whole thing in low key. , 7, No amount of Defense De partment crepe hanging, how ever, will change the fact that the XB70 is a fantastic flying machine In its own right, em bodying radical advances In technology and manufactur ing processes, and certain to further the aeronautical art. There never has been any thing like the XB70, once .called a manned missile. No Squadron Ser rice No amount of Air Force and company hooplan at the un veiling, on the other hand, will alter the fact that this particular airplar.a ran afoul of the missile age and la not destined for squadron service, however much' is contributes to future aviation develop ment, both military and commercial. No amount of the govern ment's wrestling with Its prob lems of managing the XB70 roll-out will influence the fact that there will be large public University Business Manager Appointed Eugene (UPD Appointment of Walter N. McLaughlin as business manager of Univer sity of Oregon was announced Saturday by President Arthur S. Flcmming. The appointment is subject to confirmation by the Oregon State Board of Higher Educa tion. McLaughlin's appointment came after the board changed the title held by J. Orville Lindstrom from business man ager to director of fiscal af fairs. McLaughlin has been as sistant business manager at the university since 19S4. HOLIDAY CLAIMS IS Seattle - (WD - Accidents claimed at least IS lives in Washington during the Fourth of July holiday. interest In the event and the press will expect to be out in full force to cover it. At a cost now expected to exceed $1.3 billion, North American Aviation, Inc., as prime contractor, is building three XB70 models. The first was slated to fly last Decem ber but ran into technical problems that have delayed its roll-out at Palmdale until late this summer and its first flight until October or November. Technical Problems Technical difficulties are the rule, not the exception, in advanced new aircraft, all the more so with one that makes such strides as the high alloy stainless steel XB70, The specific problem In this case was a leak of pressurized nitrogen gas, used in the tri angle shaped wing to cool fuel while hiking along at three times the speed of sound. The company and the Air Force believe that the problem has been fixed, after painstaking examination of the wing con struction and nitrogen gas piping, Their present expectation is to roll-out the XB70 in Aug ust or September and start ex tensive ground tests at the desert center at Palmdale, Then, if all goes well, the behemoth should take to the air in the late fall for a two- to-three hour flight, alighting at Edwards Air Force Base Calif., the testing area for all America's advanced military aircraft, Foreign Briefs HUNDREDS LEFT HOMELESS IN NICARAGUA Managua, NIcaragua-dlPll-Hundrede of persons hare been left homeless in eastern Nicaragua by flooding of a river, according to press reports here.

PP&L Engineer Urges Deletion Of South 9 Miles North Bcnd-OIPD-Six U. S senators heard arguments Saturday on why the bounda rles of the proposed Oregon Dunes National Seashore should be different from those set in the Dunes bill intro duced by Sen. Maurine Neu berger (D-Ore.). The six, members of the Senate Public Lands Subcom mittee, toured the proposed park area from Coos Bay to Florence. George Beard, Portland, manager of engineering for Pacific Power and Light co., told the group that the south ernmost nine miles should be excluded from the proposed park because steps have al ready been taken to develop a rich supply of fresh water for industrial purposes. Bard spoke when they stop ped at one of the six wells supplying 1V4 million gallons of water a day to a paper plant of the Menasha Corp. "The Dunes water re source," Beard said, must be operated as a unit to protect it from sea encroachment. Under proper operation this source will be good for . 30 million gallons of water a day." 64 Wells Needed He said that type of de velopment would require a string of 64 wells, each a distance of 2,000 feet from the sea. He said drilling the wells would not damage the recreation potential of the area, but pointed out that the first objective of a National Park is recreation. "That," he said, "is the op posite of industrial development." Rep. Robert Duncan CD- Ore.) was along on the trip. He has introduced a bill which would set the park's southern boundary at Ten Mile creek, eliminating the area PP&L wants excluded. It also would take much less private property, particularly east of U.S. Highway 101. J. J. Geaney, chairman of the Coos County Board of Commissioners, told the sena tors he favors continuation of the supply of water for the Menasha Corp., but he is afraid further development by PP&L would damage recrea tion values. Crown Zellerbach Protests John M. Fulton, Portland, corporate representative for Crown-Zellerbach Corp., urg ed senators to prevent the park from spreading east of the highway. He said the Neu berger proposal takes almost 25 per cent of the corpora tion's Tahkenitch Lake Tree Farm. The group also heard from Wilbur Tenyik, who operates the Wave Beach Grass Nurs ery at Florence. He told the senators how grass is used to stabilize the dunes. The senators gave little in dication of their sentiment for the project. They left Portland Sunday morning to inspect other public land in the West. In the group were Sens. Al an Bible (D-Nev.) Frank Moss (D-Utah), Ernest Grucnlng (D Alaska), Quentin Burdick (D N.D.), Len Jordan (R-Idaho) and Milward Simpson (R-Wyo.).

S. Savings Bond bearing the serial number 2.000.000,000 from Mrs. Kathryn O'Hay Granahan, Treas urer of the United States. DIDomenico, who lives with his wife and 13-year-old son In Camden, N. J., bought the bond through the Radio Corporation of America's Payroll Savings Plan. It turned up as one of the 10.000 bonds RCA obtains monthly for its Camden payroll savers. In presenting the bond, the Treasurer called it appropriate that the bond with the magic number two billion should be issued during the 1863 Freedom Bond Drive, and that it was bought through the Payroll Savings Plan, which accounts for about half of Last year people caused more than 100,000 forest (ires.
