Secretary of State Dean Rusk was host at a "working lunch eon" for Soviet Foreign Min ister Andrei Gromyko and Brit ish Foreign Secretary Lord Home which lasted about 2'? hours in Rusk's 35th floor suite at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Both sides shied away Irom talking about the two most ex plosive issues still troubling East-West relations Berlin and Germany diplomatic sources said. Keep Cordial Air There seemed to be a tacit agreement, informants said, to slay away for the time being from explosive subjects likely to shatler the newly established era of cordiality brought on oy the limited nuclear test ban treaty. Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khru shchev's proposal for establish ment of fixed observation posts on both sides of the Iron Cur tain to lessen the danger of sur-j prise attack came up at the meeting, diplomats said.

At that time they agreed to explore the observa tion post proposal and other dis armament ideas. But Saturday's relatively short session did not get around to Khrushchev's proposal for an East-West non-aggression pact, concerning which the West has considerable reservations. The three ministers reviewed the test ban treaty and deplored the fact that some countries particularly Red China, Cuba, Albania and France have failed to sign the pact.

The purpose is to give a bet ter financial picture of each locality than is possible through its average income figure alone.

(UPI) -President Kennedy concluded a 10,000 mile conservation tour Saturday with a call for inter national cooperation in preserv ing natural and human resourc es as a means "to promote world order." "In a broad sense," he said, "the lest ban treaty ratified by the Senate last week also was a triumph for conservation for hopefully, it will reduce radio active pollution of the one re source all men share, the at mosphere itself." The President's prepared speech was the final one in a five-day, 11-state expedition bill ed as a "conservation tour," but ranging also into the political areas of taxes, economical re vival and foreign policy. His visit here was the first time an "in-office" President had visited Las Vegas since Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated Hoover dam in 1935. Kennedy flew here from Whis keytown, Calif., where he dedi cated a new reservoir in that picturesque gold rush locale. He hailed his administration s rec ord in picking up the conserva tion trail he said Republicans blazed many years ago but which he implied they strayed from during the Eisenhower ad ministration. It was at the Whiskevtown ceremony that Kennedy almost casually dropped into his re marks his belief that the 40-hour work week will be reduced be cause of automation. "We had a 58-hour week, a 48-hour week, a 40-hour week," he said. "As machines take more and more of the jobs of men, we are going to find the work reduced, and we are going to find people wondering what they should do." With extra leisure hours, Ken nedy said it became increasing ly important that the recrea tional facilities and natural re sources of the nation be not only protected, but extensively expanded. A crowd of 6,000 gathered in Las Vegas gold-domed new con vention hall applauded enthusi astically when the President injecting a number of foreign policy notes in his remarks 'Secret' Satellite Launched Into Orbit VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (UPI) - A "sec ret satellite," believed to be a space-exploring Discoverer, was launched toward a polar orbit Saturday by Air Force missile men. The Air Force would not say whether the satellite achieved orbit, in keeping with its policy of maintaining secrecy about such launchings from this Pa cific missile range base. The Air Force said only that a satellite employing a Thor-Ablc-Star rocket booster com bination, the same combination used for Discoverer launches, was hurled aloft. Garages Damaged By Medford Fire Medford firemen were called about 9:28 p m. Saturday to ex tinouish a garage fire at 1129 West Ninth St., the residence of Mrs. Harriet Barlow. Fireman said two other near by garages were damaged by the blaze. The rear of the Bar low residence was scorched by the fire. Two trucks responded to the alarm.

And there was applause again when he pressed another of his continuing themes the need for Increasing and beltering ed ucation opportunities for Amer ica's youth as "our most im portant job of conservation and development." Kennedy's stay of an hour or so put him within several blocks of the city's gambling centers but he didn't come close to any of them. His motorcade was routed along Paradise road, which runs parallel to the famed "strip" of casinos, for the five minute ride to the convention center. There were some pickets out side an anti-Castro Cuban group and some other people with signs saying "Stop team ster takeover of Nevada." M me. Nhu's Statement Was Mis-Translated, Women Claim SAIGON, Soulh Viet Nam (UPI) Mme. Ngn Dinh Nhu's women s solidarity movement Saturday protested Ambassa dor Henry Cabot Lodge's rebuke to Mme. Nhu for her criticism of young American officers in South Vict Nam. The organization said it had learned of his statement "with the greatest indignation" and protested that her statement the young American officers acting as advisers in the war against the Communist Vict Cong were "behaving irrespon sibly and acting like little sold iers of fortune" had been badly translated. Lodge called Mme. Nhu's statement "cruel" and "shock ing" and pointed out that many of the young officers had been killed in Viet Nam while fight ing the Viet Cong alongsido South Vietnamese soldiers. Translation Blamed The Times of Viet Nam, some times regarded as spokesman for the Ngo family, also said Mme. Nhu's statement had been poorly translated and said she had written letters In the fami lies of killed or wounded Amer ican servicemen to express grat itude for "the sacrifices of those noble and valiant men." Vietnam press said in her statement made in Rome she had used the French term "sol dats dc fortune" and that the correct English translation should have been "improvised officers" and not "soldiers of fortune." Defense Secretary Robert S McNamara and Gen. Maxwell D.

(UPI) 1 Clouds Hamper President's View 01 Dunes Area Jet Circles Over Rogue Project By United Press International Clouds marred President Ken nedy's glimpse of Oregon s scenic coastal dunes area Fri day afternoon but the Chief Executive's sleek 707 jet circled the Medford area and got a bird's eye view of the site of the Rogue River project. He flew over those areas on his way from Tacoma, Wash., to Redding Calif. His guides for , the journey were Oregon s Dem ocratic Sens. Wayne Morse and Maureen Neuberger, and tresn man Rep. Robert Duncan, in whose district both areas are located. The flight came after an ear lier 30-minute visit to the Tongua Point Naval Station near Astoria at which the President announc ed plans for Defense Depart ment and Coast Guard facilities at the base. Dunes Project Favored Duncan told reporters Ken nedy believes efforts to convert the dunes to a national seashore are important and should pro ceed. , : But Duncan said Kennedy took no stand on the differing hills that have been introduced in Congress. One bill, sponsored by Duncan, would take 30 miles of shore south lrom r lorence and result in land costs of $1.5 million. Mrs. Neuberger has proposed a $10 million plan that would run 40 miles, all the way to Coos Bay. Kennedy viewed the area only for two or three minutes be cause clouds closed in over the dunes. Saw Sandbanks But he had a chance to see the low. silvery sandbanks ris ing from ttie sea. And he saw, behind the dunes, the two long, thin fresh water lakes against the gray-tan background of tha Coast Mountain Range. The lakes, Woahink and Siltcoos, also figure in the controversy. Mrs. Neuberger's bill includes a sizeable amount of land on their shores. Taylor and McNamara were briefed by Vietnamese and American officers at four places, including the communist strong hold in Camau Peninsula at tha southern tip of the Delta and tha capital of Long an Province just south of Saigon.
