Satellites To Watch
For Nuclear Testing
CAPE CANAVERAL (UPD-
Two top-secret U.S. satellites
were reported "working per
fectly" today as they traveled
in orbits toward final stations
60.000 miles high to patrol for
clandestine nuclear tests in
space.
The two 485-pound satellites
rode into the sky one atop the
other in the nose of a silvery
Atlas-Agena rocket -r the open
ing shot in a tightly guarded,
five - shot program variously
called "Vela Hotel," "Vela
High Altitude" and s i m p 1 y
"Project 823."
The launching was one of the
most deadly accurate ever
made by the veteran Atlas
Agena, and informed sources
said today radio signals from
the satellites indicated that
both were "working perfect

altitudes of about 60,000 miles.

to a minimum.
Tito is known to be deeply
disturbed by congressional ef
forts to force the President to
withdraw the "most favored na
tion" treatment accorded Yu
goslav products under an
agreement.
The next critical step ahead
was to fire small, solid-fueled
rocket motors on each satellite,
to "kick" it into a nearly cir

He said the students hoped to
find a location in the downtown

dance floor and a snack bar,
and where teen - agers might
gather for social activities. He
said they had no particular site

The youngsters indicated they

Discloses Split
SALEM (UPI) - A split be
tween Gov. Mark Hatfield and
Senate President Ben Musa be
came apparent today when Mu
sa revealed his own plan t o
trim the state's general fund
budeet.
Musa's plan calls for budget
cuts totaling $57.1 million.
Hatfield Wednesday called a
special session of the legisla
ture for Nov. 11. He said he
had ordered $35 million in cut
backs, wanted the legislature to
enact a $12 million speedup of
withholding tax collections, and
authorization to make cuts in
basic school support.
Authority Opposed
Musa said he opposed giving
Hatfield authority to make the
cuts in basic school.
"The legislature enacted the
original basic school program,
and the legislature should make
the cuts," Musa said.
The Democratic Senate presi
dent also said he was "afraid
there will be difficulty on the
one-shot plan. I don't think the
voters will go for it."
Musa said he had called a
caucus of the Senate Rules
Committee and Senate Ways
and Means Committee here Fri
day. Proposed Cuts
The budget cuts proposed by
Musa includes $20.5 million
slash in basic school support,
and $1.7 million cuts in the
State Department of Education.
Higher education's operation
costs would be trimmed by $11.9
million, and the college build
ing program cut by $9 million.
He proposed a $3.1 million cut
in public welfare, a $1.3 million
cut in mental institutions, and
a $1 million slash in correction
al institutions.
The courts, legislature and
elected officials would be sliced
