Khrushchev, in a letter to British philosopher Earl (Bertrand) Russell, Sat urday reaffirmed the Soviet . Union's refusal to help fi nance United Nations operations- in 'the Middle East, the Congo and Yemen. Khrushchev was replying to a letter from Russell in which the Briton expressed disappointment that the Soviet government "finds it no longer possible to render financial aid to the work of the U.N. organization." Khrushchev, in the letter broadcast by Moscow radio, said the Soviet Union was "resolutely against" weaken ing the foundations of the U.N. or bringing about its "disintegration." Political Question But he added, "The so called financial crisis of the United Nations organization is essentially not a financial but a political question, a direct result of the systematic viola tion by the western powers of the U.N. charter." Khrushchev said that, by using a mechanical vote, the western powers circumvated western powers circumvented creating the armed force sent to the Middle East and in us ing U. N. armed forces in The Congo. "There is no need to recall who bears the responsibility for the emergence of conflicts in these areas, conflicts which created a threat to universal peace and inflected much grief and suffering on the Egyptian and Congolese peo ple," he said. Demands of Justice "It is precisely they who- must bear all the material re sponsibility connected . with U. N. operations in the Mid east, The Congo and in Yemen," he said. "Such an ap proach Is in accordance not only with the principles of the U.N. charter, but also meets the demands of Justice." "To insist that peace-loving nations should pay for the consequences of the actions of aggressors and colonialists," Khrushchev said, "actually means encouragement of colonial policy and interfer ence in the internal affairs of other peoples. "One must act in such a way as to discourage viola tions of the peace and tran quility of natons," he said.

Newspaper Claims Red Spy Gave Up Over 2 Years Ago Washington IPH - The Washington Post said Satur day that a Soviet spy named by the British gave himself up in the U.S. embassy in Ottawa more than two years ago. The paper said U.S. offi cials wer e puzzled as to why Oregon Display In Reader Survey Gets Top Notice Salem An Oregon tourist promotion advertisement of the Oregon State Highway de partment drew top attention of readers in the March issue of Sunset magazine, according to a readership study just completed for that publica tion. Forrest Cooper, State High way Engineer, said the adver tisement consisted of a tour color page, with a Harris Beach coastal scene as the il lustration and a headline which read, "Relax In a State of Excitement . . . OREGON." Twenty-four other travel ad vertisements were judged in the March issue. The study showed that 88 per cent of men readers and 89 per cent of women readers "noted" the advertisement. In a "seen associated" cate gory, the percentages were men, 75 per cent, and women, 72 per cent. In "most read" it was men, 25 per cent, and women, 28 per cent. Next high in the "noted" calegory was an Air France advertisement. In the "most read" category next to Ore gon was a San Diego Conven tion and Tourist Bureau mes sage. Among men readers of all types of advertisements in the magazine, the Oregon adver tisement was bettered in the "most read" category only by Ford Thunderbird. Among the women readers, the Oregon advertisement was tied in "most read" by Pet Milk and Maytag washing machines. BOAT SINKS Avalon, Calif.-CPl-A 53-foot fishing boat with about 20 persons aboard sank Saturday night about 3 miles off the coast of Avalon without a sin gle injury to crew or passen gers. . 1 KjLrs, 1 ... 4. .- the British government an nounced the presence of the defector in England' when he had been interrogated fully in the United States so long ago. The British announced that the spy, Anatoli Dolnytsin, turned himself in 18 months ago. But this development came only after earlier re ports from the British that an unidentified Soviet agent had defected recently. The Post story said some American officials could only conclude that the government of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, under fire for se curity scandals, .was seeking to regain ground by publiciz ing the espionage victory for the British government. In Ottawa, the Canadian government denied any knowledge of reports that Dolnytsin chose Canada as a jumping-off point to defect to the west. Justice Minister Lionel Chovricr, the Canadian cab inet minister responsible for operations of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said he had no knowledge of reports attributed to the Washington newspaper that Dolnytsin was serving in Can ada two years ago and "de fected'' to the U. S. embassy in Ottawa. Other Canadian officials made similar comments, and a spokesman for the RCMP, Canada's counterpart of the FBI, said as far as he knew the federal police force simi larly had no knowledge of the report attributed to the Washington newspaper. A similar denial came in formally from a spokesman for Canadian parliamentary opposition leader John Diet' onbakcr, who was prime min ister of Canada two years ago and whose conservative ad ministration was ousted ear lier this year by the liberal party of the now Prime Min ister Lester B. Pearson.

Willard Wirtz indi cated Saturday he may try to renew negotiations in the deadlocked railroad dispute next week to avert a strike or congressional action in the rail crisis. He said in an Interview that he docs not believe fact-finding by a special While House committee justifies a halt in bargaining by union and man agement officials. He also hinted strongly that he may follow up any oppor tunity to mediate, that' mlsht develop outside of the com mittee's work in compiling a report for President Kennedy. . The cabinet officer made the comments to a United Press International reporter following a private conference with J. E. Wolfe, chief nego tiator for the railroads, at his office in the labor depart ment. Investigate Dispute Wirtz made it plain, how ever, that the six-man panel named by the President to in vestigate the dispute would not attempt to direct any further negotiations. The President has promised to seek legislation to settle the controversy over new work rules opposed by the unions after he studies the re port now scheduled for de livery next Friday. But administration officials are unhappy over the prospect of going to Congress for a law since they regard the outlook on Capitol Hill as unpredicta ble. They said a negotiated solution would be far prefera ble for all sides. Wirtz was asked if he felt that the preparation of the re port justified a halt in bar gaining.

Scientists Peer Into Of World; Answers San Diego, Calif. - 1UPD - What will the world be like 100 years from now? Man's average life expectancy will be 150 years. Disease will have disappeared. Hereditary characteristics like skin color will be controlled chemically. . Distant .travel will be accomplished In huge space vehicles powered by nuclear energy. Colonies of people will reside on the moon and Mars and scientists will have traveled throughout the'solor system. This is a composite portrait of the world of 2063 envisaged by some of the nation's leading men of science. Their predictions were scaled Saturday in a space-time capsule at General Dynamics Astronautics to be opened 100 years hence. Among those submitting predictions were: Edward Teller, "father of the H bomb", Krafft A. Ehrlcke, leading de veloper of the Atlas rocket; W. H. Pick Cities ciiy for ' the next three months.

The stainless steel capsule with the predictions was scaled In con crete at the astronautics plant during an opening house marking the aerospace plant's fifth anniversary. Company officials expected 100,000 visitors at the plant which was opened to the public for the first time. Open for viewing were the assembly lines of Atlas and Centaur space vehicles and the space science laboratory housing a simulated manned space station.

Soviets Announce Intent To Better U.S. Relations Red Peace Meeting Scene of Dispute Moscow, Sunday (UPD The) Soviet Union, in the most savage public attack ever de livcred against Communist China here, today bluntly told Peking it will go ahead with efforts to reach better rela lions with the United States and end the arms race. The Soviet declaration ap peared to make inevitable a formal rtipture in the Sino Soviet ideological "peace" talks. It was an admission that eight days of high-level secret negotiations In Moscow had gotten nowhere. Foreign observers inter preted the Soviet declaration as near final de facto rupture of the once-monolithic bloc that claimed sovereignty over one-third of the world. The talks were adjourned for the week end yesterday. informed sources said they had ground to an apparent end with "grave differences" between Peking and Moscow still unresolved. The Soviet Union and Com munist China have fought bit terly for years . over the method to advance commu nism. Russia has advocated peaceful coexistence. Red j China has insisted that there must inevitably be military conflict between - communism and capitalism; - ' A oou-word open letter from the Soviet Communist party, published to the party newspaper Pravda Sunday de nounced Chinese Communist leaders for "aggravating" the split and undermining world communism..' . - (The. Chinese Communists, n broadcast monitored in Tokyo Sunday, accused the United States of trying to wreck the ideological talks and split the international Communist movement by in- ' citing ill-feelings between Moscow and Peking. The ar ticle in the Peoples Daily Ob server of Peking, however, was written before the Soviet denunciations published in Pravda.) The Kremlin rejected Chi nese Communist charges of "cowardice in the face of im perialists" and made a ring ing reaffirmation of Soviet Premier Nikila S. Khrush chev's policy of peaceful co existence with the west. The statement came on the eve of vital cast-west nuclear test ban talks in Moscow and appeared to be a new indica tion that the Kremlin was anxious to lay the ground work for an atomic testing moratorium with the United Slates and Britain.
