Macmillan Hit
By Election to
Replace Profumo
Stratford-On-Avon, England
-1UP1I- Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan's Conservative
party was rocked anew today
by the results of an election
to fill the parliamentary seat
vacated by disgraced War
Minister John Profumo.
The Conservative candidate
,won Thursday's by-election,
but the margin was so small
the opposition claimed a "mor
al victory." The results ap
peared to forecast further
trouble for Macmillan whose
government was nearly top
pled last month by the reper
cussions from the Profumo
scandal.
Journalist Wins
Conservative candidate An
gus Maude, a 50-year-old jour
nalist, was the victor as ex
pected in this Tory strong
hold, but his majority was so
much less than his party's
margin in the last .election
that the opposition Labor
party claimed a "moral vic
tory." Observers had regarded the
Stratford-On-Avon by-election
the toughest public test for
Macmillan since the Profumo
scandal shocked the nation
earlier this summer and near
ly toppled his Conservative
government.
Santiam Scenic
Areas Established
Salem - (WO - The Oregon
Scenic Area Commission has
established scenic areas along
78 miles of the Santiam High

The clubs had sought to
make the full route from the
Salem bypass to the Sisters
city limits a scenic zone, but
the commission declined to
set aside 29 miles, according
to chairman A. N. Weir.
Under the scenic areas act,
the commission may establish
scenic areas along public
highways which have views

Council Delays
Transfer Request
A request by the proprie
tors of the Frontier Club, 43
South Front si., to transfer
its beer dispensing license to
a new location at 902 North
Riverside ave. was deferred
by the Medford city council
last night.
The applicant, Robert Knox,
told the council his present
lease for the Front st. location
will expire Sept. 1, and that
it would take at least two
weeks to install plumbing at
his proposed new location,
which has been occupied by
Hal's Sport and Agate shop.
Knox told the council he
had personally checked with
nine property owners in the
vicinity of his new site and
that only one of them object
ed to his plans.
Councilman William Singler
moved to put the request on
the Sept. 5 council agenda
to give the property owners
in the vicinity of 902 North
Riverside, ave. an opportunity
to appear before the council
if they should wish to protest
the matter.
The motion to defer action
passed by a 6 to 2 vote.
However, toward the end
of the meeting, Councilman
Joe Hosick reopened the mat
ter by pointing out that Knox
would find the delay costly
and that he deserved a more
prompt Teply to his request.
Hosick moved lo reconsider
the request, but his motion
failed by the same 6 to 2
margin.

the boundaries which the
council approved last night.
The proposed civic center
lies in an area bounded by
West Main st. on the north, by
Mistletoe st. on the west, by
West 10th st. on the south,
and by South Holly st. on the
east.
Municipal Purposes
Within that area, however,
the council designated a fur
ther four-block section which
it intends to devote to public
use for municipal purposes.
' That area was defined as
bounded by West Eighth st. on
the north, by West 10th st.
on the south, by South Holly
st. on the east, and by King
st. on the west.
Not intended for city use
within that area is the prop
erty owned by the federal
government for the site of the
new post office and the Med
ford Plaza apartments, 235
South Oakdale ave.
Tentative plans now call for
the eventual construction of a
new city hall and a public
safety building within the pre
scribed area.
City Manager Robert Duff
said today that the next step
is to acquire appraisals on the
property the city hopes to pur
chase. He said council com
mittee approval would be re
quired, however, before an
appraiser can be hired for the

United States and Russia to- - i
day announced final approval
of a Joint program of expert
ments with weather and com
munication satellites starting
next year.
The two nations also agreed
to contribute satellite infor
mation to a world magnetic
survey to be made in 1965. -
Agreed In 1962
The U. S.-Russia agreement
for limited cooneratinn in
space was reached at Geneva
in June, 1962. The program
given final approval today
was worked out at Rome last
March and in Geneva in May.
The experiments with wea
ther satellites will result in
the exchange of information
and cloud pictures by means
or full time, four-wire tele
communication link between
Washington and Moscow.
This link is to be establish
ed by early 1964 and probably
will be routed from Washing,
ton to Moscow by way of New
York, London or Paris, Ber
lin and Poland.
To Use Echo II
Both nations will launch
satellites for use in the space
weather observation program.
The experiments in satellite
communications will be con-
ducted with an Echq II to be
launched by this country in
1964. Echo II will be a shiny
135 foot sphere which will be
used as a banking board for
radio signals.
Since Echo II, to be launch
ed in a near polar orbit, will
not be in line of sight the
same time between United
States and Russia, exchanges
wtU be-made with the help
ot Great Britain s Jodrell
Bank Radioastronomy Observ
atory at Manchester.
To Be Relaydd
Communications : will he'
. sent from the United States
to Jodrell by cable or radio
and Jodrell will relay them
to Russia by the Echo II sat
ellite. These experiments, too,
will begin next year.
The two nations will each
launch a special satellite
equipped to measure the
earth's magnetic field. Thij
information will supplement
various other ground, sea and
air measurements to be under
taken internationally during
the world magnetic survey to
be conducted in 1965.
