The self-admitted killer. 3 Former Oregon Convicts Confess Robbery-Shooting SACRAMENTO (UPD-Three ex-convicts from Oregon Satur day described how they capped a two-state robbery spree by shooting and killing a California Highway Patrolman. . "I blasted him across the road," said Roger Mealman, 29, when investigating officers asked for details on the death of Patrolman Glenn Carlson. Carlson, a 33-year-old father of four, had stopped . Mcalman and his two accomplices Friday night as they were fleeing Cali fornia for Nevada after robbing , a Sacramento bank of $4i,626. about three hours before. The officer had stopped their eastbound car for speeding on U. S. 40 near Donner Summit, where the transcontinental di vide goes over the Sierra crest and descends toward Reno, Nev. After issuing the citation, Carlson made a radio check on the car (a white Cadillac) and learned that the registration had been issued to another vehicle. He pursued and stopped them once more and walked into a barrage from Meatman's gun. Wounded Twice Nevada County Coroner's dep uties in Truckee, Calif., about five miles east of the shooting site, said that the officer was wounded twice in the chest, but that the wounds might have been caused by one bullet. After dragging the officer's body from the road, the trio drove south to Tahoe City, on the northeast shore of Lake Ta hoe, where Mealman and Robert L. Burns, 31, took a taxi to Reno. The third man, Raymond Toycen Jr., 29 (alias Raymond Patterson) got out of the car as it went back through Truckee. . Meanwhile, Highway Patrol men had discovered Carlson's body and issued an alarm. An unidentified witness in Tahoe City had seen the trio abandon the car and told officers of the cab hiring. Police intercepted the cab driver on his return from Reno and learned that Mealman and Burns had chartered a plane in Reno for Sacramento. They ar rested the two as they arrived here Saturday and picked up Toycen in a Truckee hotel, all within five hours of the shooting. teSlVMIEFS items wom jSy 0UN0 Wl ol0M CANADIAN SENATOR KILLED TORONTO.

State Senate Fight On Basic School Cuts Seen SALEM (UPI) - In a sur prise move Saturday, the Sen ate refused to suspend rules and vote on the measure which would give Gov. Mark Hat field authority to cut basic school support. SALEM (UPI) - The Board man crisis, ani tun expected Senate fight over basic school cuts could dash leaders' hopes for a Tuesday adjournment of the special session of the legis lature. ' And a special bill being rushed through . to set- dollar, amount cuts in the capital construction program could open the whole allotment procedure to legisla tive review a process which could take weeks. Rep. Kessler Cannon, R-Bend, asked Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton for an opinion on the legality of the allotment proce dure. A reply is expected shortly- One Vote The emergency program ask ed by Gov. Mark Hatfield to deal with the fiscal crisis re sulting from the Oct. 15 tax referendum was only one Sen ate vote away from approval. Higher Education Probe Suggested SALEM (UPI) - The Ways and Means Committee has rec nmmended that the Legisla- live Fiscal Office hire another analyst and have the Interim Education Committee proceed as planned with a probe into hieher education. The decision was made after Sen. Walter Pearson, D-Port-land, charged there was an "iron curtain between the leg islature and the State Board of Higher Education." Pearson said "we have to find out what is going on in the sys tem of higher education." He wanted $35,000 set aside for such a study. The committee action, how ever, restores one staff analyst budgeted by the regular 19B3 session. The position was not filled when it became apparent the tax increase would be referred. 1 Roger Mcalman, 29, (1.) and of Salem, Oregon, are shown airport. Mealman reportedly (UPI) But it was indicated Saturday a Senate fight may be brewing on the measure to allow the governor to make the cuts in state aid to local school dis trict. In a surprise 15-14 vote Sat urday, the upper house refused to suspend rules and vote on the basic school bill. Sen. Walter Pearson,; D-Port-land, said action was delayed because "there's lots of opposi tion to the measure in the Sen ate." Both the Senate and House have approved a speedup, of tax collections to bring in' an addi tional $12 million this bienmum. The basic school measure, and the tax collection bill were the only legislation asked by Hat field when he called the special session. But Friday it was learned the governor did not have the constitutional right to eliminate the capital construction pro gram, so a special bill doing so was introduced. 1 Abdicating Authority It was a victory for the bloc of legislators who have charged the legislature was abdicating its authority to let Hatfield make the cuts. While legislative leaders hoped the measure would zip through, there was the possibility that debate on the bill could spread to the entire allotment proce dure. Many Republicans and a few Democrats feel the legislature should make all the cuts, rather than have Hatfield do it. The Boardman issue remained a question mark. He le Speaker Clarence Bar ton seemed to feel it would not delay adjournment. But the emergency bill asked by Hatfield to clear a legal cloud that threatens Boeing's lease of the Boardman site still rests in the Ways and Means Committee. Further hearings are sched uled Monday, and the commit tee has indicated it is not too enthusiastic about having once again to pull the Boardman chestnuts out of the fire. The fact that the state will have to pungle up another $522, 000 to complete the deal isn't being well received by lawmak ers who came to Salem to trim budgets and eliminate construc tion projects. Study In Contrasts The first six days of the spe cial session were a study in contrasts. Many lawmakers had no committee assignments, and had nothing to do except for the few minutes each day the houses were in session. But those with committee as signments were working 8-12 hours a day in an effort to find solutions to the fiscal crisis. It was a disastrous week for Hatfield. Two of his vetoes were overthrown, and the Boardman project blew up. Democrats seemed to be rid ing high, having so far been able to confine the session to the fiscal crisis. Democrats also beat down Republican moves to hamper the governor with rigid guidelines, and GOP efforts to enact sales and cigarette taxes. As lawmakers left for a week end off Saturday afternoon, It appeared the special session was on the verge of ending. Robert L. Burns, 31, (r.), both at the Sacramento municipal shot Patrolman Glenn Carlson. Both Barton and Senate Presi dent Ben Musa have predicted a Tuesday adjournment. But nobody was talking too much about adjournment for fear the Boardman crisis would explode into a nightmare. Mme.

LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) - Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York Saturday night in his first major speech since becoming a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination charged that the Kennedy administration is jeopardizing the peace and demoralizing our allies with a weak, indecisive foreign policy. At a news conference earlier, Rockefeller said Sen. Barry Goldwater is "not in tune with the main stream of Republican thinking." "The fog of soothing state ments coming from Washington will not be able to hide indefi nitely that all is not well within our position in the world," Rockefeller said in a speech prepared for d e 1 i v e r y at an awards dinner of the Press Club of Metrooolitan St. Louis. "We must realistically face the fact that our world position has deteriorated under the pres ent administration." Rockefeller had a busy day, which included two news confer ences and two television inter views. At one conference he said Goldwater. considered by many Rockefeller's top rival for the nomination, will not be the 1964 Republican standard bearer if the Senator does not make some radical changes. Rockefeller challenged the Arizona Senator to modify his stands on foreign and domestic affairs. "These positions are not in tune with the main stream of Republican thinking," hesaid. Unless Goldwater modifies his thinking he won't hold the support he has now." The New York Governor saia "Goldwater has been in opposi tion to President Eisenhower and the majority of the GOP Senators on civil rights legis lation." However, Rockefeller pledged to support "whoever wins the (GOP) nomination.'.' He indicated he has not count ed out former Vice President Richard M. Nixon as a con tender for the presidential nomi nation. "Nixon is in the wings and peeking around the curtains," he said.

The President, combining TFX Plane Costs Revised Upwards WASHINGTON (UPI)-N e w Pentagon estimates indicated Saturday that total spending un der the controversial TFX plane contract may shoot upward to between $8 and $9 billion (B). Original estimates were be tween $6.5 and $7 billion (B), but they have been creeping upwards, as predicted by De fense Secretary Robert S. Mc namara in his testimony be fore Congress. The total outlay could go still higher, possibly to $10 bil lion (B), if the Navy is granted its request to acquire more than 200 additional TFX's.

(UPI) . . , business with relaxation on trip to Florida, flew to Cape Canaveral Saturday on what was interpreted as a renewed pitch for support of U.S. plans to land men on me moon be fore the end of this decade. Kennedy appeared particular ly impressed by a giant Saturn "super-booster" rocket sched uled for an attempt next month to send a 16-ton satellite, the world's largest, Into orbit around earth. The moonlet would dwarf a new "Cosmos" mooncl put into orbit early Sat urday by the Soviet Union. Stoje Show On this occasion, American and Russian space plans and space races had to take a back scat. The U.S. Navy stole the show in a day that Kennedy, a former Navy man himself, called "wonderful." The Navy whisked the Chief Executive 25 miles out to sea aboard a helicopter, landed him on the deck of the Laboratory Ship U.S.S. Observation Island and gave a submerged nuclear submarine, the U.S.S. Andrew Jackson, a "go-ahead", for the Polaris shot. Kennedy flashed his famous grin when at 11:55 a.m. EST the bottle-shaped Polaris broke the Atlantic's surface 1,200 yards away in a towering geyser of salt spray after the sub rammed it from a tube atop a column ot compressed air. The President watched in tently for a moment with a naked eye as the missile began its fiery climb.
