Hagerty said he had no information regard ing a published report the Senators plan to seek Eisenhower's views on the issue of changing Senate rules to make It easier to limit Senate debute.

The toll was heavy but It did not exceed the previous record. The total of fatalities during the 103-hour period between 6 p.m. Wednesday and midnight Sunday (local tune) was 725. This included 539 traffic deaths. 82 lire deaths and 104 deaths at tributed to a variety of other ac cidental causes. The all-time high for accidental deaths during a four-day Christ inas nonaay period isu waa attained in 1951. The record lor traffic fatalities 5S6 avasi set during the four-day Christmas holiday period in: lust National Safety Council statistics for the first 11 months of 1962 showed that traffic deaths aver aged 102 for every 24 hours. This Included victims who died of injuries days or weeks after tney were injured. The average death toll for a 102- hour period would be about 433, which would be tar under uie num ber recorded during the 120-hour Christmas week end. The total fell short of the coun cil's Dre-holidav estimate ot 590 traffic deaths. Ned H. Dearborn, council presi dent, said the traffic loll came traalcallv close to the ad vance estimate. He added: "The important thing now is are we going to go out and do Uie same thing all over again as we celebrate Uie New Year? Or are we going to learn a lesson from this terrible Christmas tralflc toll tho lesson that death takes no nou- day?

FAY AP Military Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON Ml American rocket experts and military scien tists are moving closer to the time when they can fire a missile so high ft will never return to earth. The latest hint of this step to ward Uie eventual development of an experimental saiei:. to move around tne earth as does the moon came in a recent address by Sec retary ot the Air Force Finletter. The secretarv said he foresees the developemeht of rocket engines producing 500,000 pounds of thrust. With such a propelling force, he estimated, a speed of 20,000 miles an hour will be reached. The alti tudes reached by such rockets will, of course, take them out into space," he added. This estimate was somewhat un der the 25.000 miles an hour which many scientists estimate will be required to accelerate a rocket to Uie point where momentum would carrv it across the boundary of earth's gravity. The first objective in creation of an unmanned, artllicial satellite would be to provide an eye-in-the-skv with which to watch what hap pened anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere as the satellite orbited around the earth. A kind of camera linked electronically to the earth would serve as the eye, scientists say. While scientists think thev have solved many of the major engi neering projects for getting an artlfical satellite aloft and on sta tion in space. It would cost big money. Estimates range from three to five billion dollars for even a comparatively modest un manned satellite. But the building of a test missile to prove .whether an object can be fired into space presumably will cost considerably less. It probably is much nearer attainment. State May Draft 19-Year-Olds PORTLAND HI Oregon may draft its first 19-year-olds In Feb ruary to meet the estimated state quota oi 400 to sou men. Major Oen. Thomas E. Riles. state selective service director, said there probably would not be enough 20 -year olds to fill the quota. The exact number of men to be drafted In the state In February Is not known yet. ine estimate oi 400-50O was based on the national quota of (3,000 men for February.

Tuesday's Elsenhower-Taft meet ing will be their first since Taft criticized as "incredible" the gen eral's appointment of Martin Durk ln as secretary of labor In the new administration. That appointment and others by Elsenhower reportedly irritated some GOP senators who felt the Elsenhower headquarters had failed to check such appointments through the usual Senatorial chan nels. Hagerty was told Monday there have been reports Eisenhower has promised Senators key appoint ments will be so channeled in the tuture. "I would think that would be matter of course," Hagerty com' mented. As for the recommendations Ei senhower haa asked on wage-price controls, an informed source who asked not to be named, said the advisory group has been studying "the whole complex matter" for some time, but has not reached even a preliminary decision. (Continued on page S Mac Rebuffs HST Remark NEW YORK Wt Gen. Dour! MacArthur's description of a state ment oy president Truman as "in accurate' and misleading" today started - anew the controversy around the general's ouster as Far East commander. MacArthur, in a statement is sued here last night, iook issue with a reported comment by Tru man that he relieved MacArthur be cause the general "wanted to in volve us in all-out war In Uie Far East," The United Press quoted the President as making the statement Saturday in an interview he gave to Its White House corresnondent. It was one of a series of year-end interviews granted by the Presi dent to White House newsmen 1 In Washington last night. White House Press Secretary Roger 4uvuj bam a i u man wouia nave no comment on tne MacArthur state ment. Tubby said the President "made his statement and is stick ing oy it." Courtney Whitney, retired major general and a top aide of Mac- Arm ur.-gave oit Uie latter s state ment. It said in full: "President Truman's statement yesterday (Saturday), as reported in Uie press, that I 'wanted to in volve us In an all-out war in the far fcast is inaccurate and mis leading. "My purpose and desire was not to extend the war but only to end it. At that time, this could have been accomplished with only a fraction of the approximately' 70, 000 American battle casualties which have since resulted. Actu ally, the longer It lasts Uie greater Uie chance of Its spreading. How anyone could use such a bloody drama as a means of self-glorification is quite beyond my com prehension." It was not made clear whether the "self-glorification" remark was aimed at Truman, or was intended by MacArthur to point up his own position in Uie controversy. MacArthur. now chairman of the board of Remington Rand, Inc., was fired by Truman April 11. 1951. Truman then said in a formal statement that he concluded Mac Arthur "Is unable to give his wholehearted support" to U. S. and United Nations policies in Korea.

Planes, Land Forces Strike Reds SEOUL, P) Chines Reds stung by one of the heaviest Allied air strikes against single North Korean target since last August, struck back with a ground assault on the Central Front Sunday night. Dug-ln U. N. troops drove them back In pro-dawn darkness Monday morning. The war slackened off Monday to a verbal offensive In which Uie Reds urged Allied soldiers to sur render and enjoy a "big New Year's celebration'' in North Ko rea. Cloudy skies and snow squalls grounded most U. N. warplanes and gave the Reds a respite from hammering Allied air blows. SABRE JETS Sabre Jets Datrolled Mia alley but found no Red warplanes. The Air Force hurled a 200-plane raid on a sprawling Red supply center near Pyongyang, the North Korean capitol, Sunday, sending clouds of black smoke billowing high. The Fifth Air Force said Its bombers and lighter - bombers struck hard at troop billets, bar racks and supply buildings. Many secondary explosions were touched off, Indicating ammunition dumps had been hit. - Protective 8abre Jets destroyed two MIGs, probably destroyed a third and damaged a fourth, the Air Force said. U. S- B-29 SuperforU roared across Uie Sea cf Japan Sunday night and dropped 120 tons of bombs on a Red airfield at Pyong yang. The Superforts cratered a 3.800 foot sunway, which the Air Force said might be used by nuisance type Red planes. TRAFFIC ' ' B-28 Invaders kept up the pace with attacks against Communist road and rail traffic. The Air Force said 35 trucks and 13 box cars were destroyed and one locomotive was damaged. The Red ground attack hit Allied positions on Rocky Point, a spur of Snioer Ridge Just before mid night Sunday. The Reds hit first with two Wa- toons. then built up to company strength about 200 men. For five hours the crack or rifle and machine gun fire echoed over the frozen Kumhwa ridges before the Communists fell back In the face of massed Allied fire. The Reds hauled their loudspeak ers up the Central Front Monday night and asked TJ. N. troops to "come North and Join relatives and friends." Crater Snow 6 Feet Deep Snow depth at Crater Lake -to day humbles many folks who have complained about it In the Im mediate Klamath Falls area, but even up there It's nothing this year compared to last.

But one year ago today mere was 118 inches of snow on the ground exactly 13 feet, one Inch. That's twice as high as any average automobile.
