Qll, , : - rr.l la The- Pay's ievs Br FRANK JENKINS More missile stuff: Missilemen theorizing about the crash of the big Atlas the other day are blaming weather, mechanical failure- OR A RANDOM RADIO SIGNAL. , Experts say the mighty intercon tinental rocket may have inter cepted a chance radio impulse and torn itself to pieces by trying to obey what its guidance system con jidered an order. Uneasy thought: If our Intercontinental missiles can be kidded like that by stray radio impulses, what's to prevent the Russkies from KEEPING THE WUIR FULL OF STRAY RADIO IM PULSES ALL THE TIME? In that event, how much good would the missiles do us? Consoling second thought: If the Russkies can fool our mis siles into blowing themselves up WE CAN FOOL THE RUSSIAN MISSILES INTO BLOWING THEMSELVES UP. - In that event, the whole missile business would go to pot and the world would be MUCH happier. ' This screwball world note: About 181 million bushels of corn, worth $158,841,000, was destroyed by the European corn borer in 1957. The department of agricul ture says the loss amounts to about six per cent of the total national corn crop of more than three bil lion bushels. There was a time when that would have been a mixture of ca lamity and blessing. It would have been a calamity to the farmers who suffered the loss, but it would have been a blessing to the rest of the corn growers because it would have reduced the supply and thus would have tended to increase the price. Now it is a blessing to EVERY- BODY because it gets rid of just . that much of the accumulated corn surplus. Still 1 I reckon the world may be im- proving. For example: ' Prehistoric man had more than wild beasts to contend with. An anthropologist in Johannesburg, South Africa, says the jaws of a caveman found recently indicate that he suffered toothaches even as you and I. Prehistoric man had no dentist to go to to get rid of his toothache. The President's committee on scientists and engineers held a two day meeting last week at which they considered ways and means to improve our educational system, The-meet was held at Yale Uni versity and Included more than 200 lop sciemisti ana educators.

I think maybe that's enough cyn icism for one day. So I'll sign off. Golden Rule On Way To Island LOS ANGELES Wl A 30-foot ketch, the Golden Rule, sails to day for the Pacific island of Em- wetdk in an effort to halt nuclear weapons tests scheduled to begin . in April. The vessel's captain, Albert S. . Bigelow, 51, Cos Cob, Conn., says t tie hopes to stop tne Blasts oy sau cing into the test area. Accompanying Bigelow will be William Huntington, David Gale and George Willoughby. All are members of the Committee for Nonviolent Action Against Nu clear Weapons. Three hundred persons held a prayer meeting at dockside in Los Angeles Harbor to wish the Gold en Rule Godspeed. Two Men Admit Murder In "Not A Penny" Holdup Try ALBANY, Ore. WI Two men were booked on first degree mur der charges Sunday night after Dist. Atty. Courtney Johns said they admitted a knife slaying with robbery as the motive. And they "didn't get a cotton picking nickel," Johns quoted the pair as saying. Andrew Wolfe, 22, of Spring- field, Ore., and his brother, Phil lip. 20, an airman stationed at Larson Air Force Base at Moses Lake. Wash., admitted the slaying of William Calloway Howell, 57, Johns said. The district attorney said the two men gave him this account of their activities Saturday night. They were asked to leave a skating rink because they had been drinking and then went to a tavern. They drank more there, and then decided that someone had stolen $3 from them. They determined to get H back from someone else, Johns said. He said they went outside and seeing Howell walking home alone decided he would be their victim. Johns said the men told him they followed Howell to a lonely area near the community swim ming pool. There, Johns said, Phillip jumped on Howell, knock ing him down, but Howell fought back, pulled his knife, and in flicted two slashes on Andrew's back. Johns quoted Andrew as saying that he then stabbed Howell sev eral times and cut his throat. The district attorney said the two men then took Uowell'i wallet IS frit ft a n WM- Price Five Cents 14 Page Blinding Wreaks Meiv York State ALBANY, N.Y. W Snow-weary New Yorkers struggled in near zero temperatures Monday against paralyzing drips that stranded hundreds of persons, immobilized industry and closed schools. New snow threatened many up state areas already buried under glistening white dunes up to 15 feet high. The Weather Bureau offered the meager consolation that snow squalls near the Great Lakes would taper off by Wednes day. The cities of Syracuse and Utica proclaimed emergency measures to try to dig out so that closed plants could resume production. More than 50,000 workers in the two cities were idle. Many rural roads remained clogged and traffic moved at a snail's pace elsewhere. Stalled automobiles .dotted the country side. - The wind-whipped snow snuffed out 14 lives over the weekend. Half the victims suffered heart at tacks while shoveling snow. The extreme southeastern por tion of the state escaped the storm and so did Buffalo, in the west, but areas south and east of Buf falo fought drifts up to 15 feet high. Similar drifts piled up all across the state. The Albany area measured 12-foot drifts. Among the marooned families were a mother and her eight chil dren, without food or heat in their farmhouse southwest of Utica. Three state troopers reached the house on snowshoes Monday morn ing after a bitter 15-mile trip. The 275-mile stretch of the state thruway from Albany to Buffalo was opened again to traffic. Syracuse and Utica, prostrate under the three-day fall of snow, proclaimed emergency measures Syracuse had 34 inches of snow on the ground, including 12 inches that fell yesterday. The Weather Bureau said it was the worst storm there since 1925. More was forecast. Zero temperatures emptied the streets, closed schools and left office buildings- deserted.- Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Batavia. Rochester, Elmira and James town,' in the western part of the state, were buffeted by blizzard like, conditions -but managed to keep streets open. Just beyond the suburbs, however, great veils of snow formed -15-foot drifts that staggered snow plows. Small knots of piled-up cars dotted the state. Motorists banded together for food and warmth. Some were lucky enough to make marooned farm houses or hotel hearths. Near Frewsburg, in the south Baby Sitter Foils Break-In DETROIT Wi A brave girl is Nancy Hope, 15.' The telephone was dead when a midnight knock at the door by a masked man interrupted Nancy's baby-sitting at a neighbor's home. Nancy got a butcher knife from the kitchen and sat with it in her hands for an hour and a half until the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard J. Quart, came home. The man had gone by then. Police said they found the tele phone line had been cut and a garage window opened. and finding it empty, threw it in a nearby pond. They started to walk to Inde pendence where relatives lived. But Andrew was weakened by loss of blood from his wounds, as they stopped at a farm house where they told a tale of being attacked. The farmer drove them to a hos pital where police were called. Later Howell's body was found by some children playing near the swimming pool. After several hours of question ing, the two men admitted the slaying, Johns said. British Gl To Join Sikh Ranks KUALA LUMPUR. Malaya I-1 A 20 -year -old British soldier donned the traditional robes of a Sikh warrior today and embraced the Sikh faith. He is believed to be the first European in Malaya ever converted to the religion. Pvt. Claude Raymond Perfect of London was dressed in the flowing upper robe and short pants worn by Sikhs on high religious occa sions. At his waist was a short, curved dagger. From now on he will not be permitted to smoke O' cut his hair, whic',1 he must fix with a comb anrf bind with a turban. Perfect said Malayan and Indian students in Britain influenced him to join the religion. He will attend a Sikh temple in London when he gets back home. KLAMATH Snow Havoc In western part of the state, a motor ist was rescued after his' car had been stranded for 12 hours in a drift. He was only 300 feet from a farmhouse but was unable to see it through the blowing snow. Thirty boys and girls from Syr acuse were snowbound in a camp about 15 miles southeast of the city. Leaders of the group made their way out by bulldozer and obtained food for the youngsters In Oneida, cots, blankets and sandwiches were provided in the state armory for dazed travelers.

C. Williams, state high way engineer, said Monday. He said a Highway Commission snow plow, was delayed three hours because if couldn't get by a 10-foot trailer in a storm. All trailers more than 35 feet long or more than 8 feet wide can be haulted only under permit from the Highway Commission, he said. Continuing permits are issued for trailers 35 to 45 feet long and less than 8 feet wide. Special single trip permits must be ob tained for trailers over 45 feet long and 8 feet wide The permits prohibit movement of trailers when roads are slippery or when visibility is less than 500 feet. - Williams has directed 'that all trailer owners be advised, of the regulations. Stand-in Tale Said Untrue LE HAVRE, France Wl "I used no stand-in to paint the por trait of Princess Margaret," Hal ian painter Pietro Annigoni said Tuesday. "The rumor that an actress played the role of the princess for the portrait is baseless," Annigoni told reporters on his arrival from New York aboard the liner United States.

Airman Completes First Day Sealed In Space Ship Replica; Condition "Fine" SAN ANTONIO, Tex. WI Air man Donald G. Farrell passed the first phase of his history making simulated flight into space Mon day in what Air Force officials called extremely well condition. "This morning he was very bright and chipper," Lt. Col. George R. Steinkamp, chief of space medicine at Randolph Air Force Base, told a press confer ence. At 9:35 aim. (CST), the 23-year- old airman from The Bronx, N.Y., completed' 24 hours in a sealed experimental space cabin similar to the cabins mat will be used as cabins on future space ships, It was longer than any other human being has been known to stay in such a cabin. Farrell hopes to remain in the 3 x 5-foot tank-like cubicle until next bun day morning. "At this point I see no reason Perez Given U.S. Visa CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Dominican Republic W The U.S. Embassy announced Monday that it was issuing temporary visas for Mar cos Perez Jimenez, deposed Vene zuelan dictator, and his iamily to go to the United Stales. They are expected to fly to Miami and New York late this week. The ex-dictator, his wife, and four daughters have been staying at the Hotel Embajador here since he was overthrown in a bloody revolt last month. He will fly in the presidential plane Perez Jimenez has retained, but which presumably will be turned over to the Venezuelan government even tually. Perez Jimenez plans to make a home in Spain, where a brother ana some omer mourners oi nis family already have gone. The length of his stay in the United States will be determined by the U.S. Immigration Service. The former ruler promised to abstain from engaging in plots against the temporary Venezuelan government Avhile in the United States. Explorer Aids USMapmaker IIUNTSVILI.E. Ala. I The satellite Explorer is giving map experts a big hand in correcting errors of distance on the earth surface. Over vast areas such as the Pacific there now may be a large variation between the actual dis tance of two points and that shown on the most accurate maps. A department of the Army re lease discussed the use to which the satellite is being put. Map ex perts will improve their calcula tions by using the Explorer as a reference point instead of the moon. The satellite was launched Ian. 31 from Cape Canaveral, Fla. Dr. John O'Kecfc, Army Map Service geologist, is working with Dr. Charles A. Lundquist, missile igency physicist. O'Keefe said the Explorer will help reduce mapping errors in the Pacific region from three quarters if a mile to 300 feet and ultimafe Vv will lead to precision "on the ;rdrr o( 30 feet throughout the world.' Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 4018 '1 why he should not last the full seven days, Steinkamp told re porters. He added that the com plicated machinery and instru ments, much of them too secret to reveal, also was operating ef ficiently. Steinkamp said that Farrell had an uninterrupted 4 Si hour sleep early Monday plus several 15 to 20 minute naps. He predicted the blond six-footer would sleep long er in succeeding' days after the excitement of entering the space cabinet died down. . - -... For seven, days he will pretend both physically and psycholog ically that he is aboard a space rocket headed for the moon. Next Saturday morning if everything goes well he will climb from the instrument jammed space barrel. a weary but unharmed veteran of the myster ies of space travel. As he climbed into the space cabin, Farrell commented calm ly, "Well, here goes." The 185-pound guinea pig wore a pair of light blue, loose-fitting hospital pajamas plus several pounds of wire taped to various parts of his body to relay his physical condition constantly to the scientists outside the steel cubicle. The same air inside the cabin is being used over and over with chemicals removing carbon diox ide and new oxygen being added. The heat inside the cabin is kept at 85 degrees or lower. Explorer, the first U.S. satellite, has radioed that its interior is around 8$ de grees. ' All Farrell s food for the seven day trip is inside the cabin. Most of it is in concentrated and de hydrated forms. An electrically heated cup near one elbow will furnish hot soup. Moisture from his breath, per spiration and other waste mois ture is purified for reuse as drink ing water. Other wastes are Liken care of chemically. He can push a button and deodorize his space cabinet. Another button increases or decreases the humidity. At carefully scheduled intervals the experts outside the cabin flash instructions to Farrell on a television screen a few inches be fore his eyes. He may be asked to twiddle his thumbs to test mus cular reactions or he may be giv en a complicated problem working the controls of his make- believe space ship. A portable TV camera inside the cab of Farrcll's cabinet relays movements to monitor sets out side. In an emergency, coverings could be ripped off the portholes and Farrell could be seen directly through thick glass windows. In moments of relaxation he hears hi-fi music piped into the cabin from a special selection of records. Chains Needed At Timberline SALEM Chains are re quired at Timberline and Austin and should be carried at Willam ette Pass and Meacham, the Oregon Highway Commission said Monday. Timberline reported 9 Inches of new snow, and it was still snowing hard Monday morning. Austin had a silver thaw and an inch of new snow. Icy spots were reported at Bend La Pine, Quartz Mountain and Lakcvicw. Santiam Pass had four inches of new snow, but there was slush on the highway. Goveiviment Camp and Warm Springs Junction also reported slush. ' Tunisian Bombing Leads To Heated Sow In UN Halls UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. OB - Tunisia deliberated Monday whether to ask for U.N. Security Council action on the French bombing of a Tunisian frontier vil lage. Both the United States and Britain voiced concern over the explosive situation, but expressed hope it could be smoothed over. In Paris, Premier Felix Gail- lard came under attack for al lowing military men to embroil the country in a serious diplomatic battle. He called a special meet ing of his cabinet. Tunisian Ambassador M o n e i Slim delivered a protest from his government to U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold Sun- Teamsters Eye House Situation MIAMI BEACH, Flat tf The Teamsters Union bosses today were reported considering repos sessing the lavish union-owned home that Dave Beck, the union's ex-president, occupies in Seattle, Wash. This is one of several "cleanup moves reported due for discus sion by Beck's successor, James R. Hoffa and other Teamsters chiefs gathered here for an execu tive board meeting. Beck was due here to plead against taking away his free lodg ings. The Teamsters, largest U.S. I union with 1,400,000 members, were expelled from the AFL-CIO two months ago on grounds of cor rupt leadership. Hoffa, now at the trucker union helm although one of those under criticism, was reported aiming at adopting a series of reforms look ing toward re-entry into the feder ation. " George Meany. AFL-CIO presi dent, has made it clear, however. that Holfa himself must foresakc any top Teamsters post before the union will be taken back into the main body of organized labor. Hoffa apparently hasn't the slight est Idea of- quitting. Another move Hoffa and his advisers were reoorted consider. ing is ouster of Frank V. Brew ster as chairman of the Western Conference of Teamsters. Brewster along with Beck and Hoffa were subject . to Senate Rackets Committee disclosures last year. Brewster was replaced last October as an international vice president of the Teamsters, but he remained as the union's Western chief. Einar O. Mohn, just replaced as tho Teamsters' administrative vice president in charge of the union s Washington headquarters, is one of those being considered to replace Brewster as Western Con ference chairman. Mohn is a union vice president. Beck sold the Seattle home he now occupies to the Teamsters for $163,000 under a deal in which he continued to live in it rent and tax free at union expense. There was Senate committee testimony that union funds were used in part to build the home in the first place. . It was also testified that Beck got the Teamsters to buy the home because he needed funds to pay some he owed the union. Beck said he borrowed more than $300,- 000 from the Teamsters. Chairman McClellan (D-Ark) said the money was stolen and Beck was trying to cover up. Tngger-Happy Youth Runs Wild In Bay SAN FRANCISCO WI A gun happy 5-foot-3 teen ager who wasn t taken seriously as a rob ber shot down three persons Sun day and then remarked: If I had a machine gun, I really would have cut loose." Curly haired Jerry E. Hayncs, 18, was taken to Mission Emer gency Hospital to see his victims but even that apparently did not affect him. At city prison he remarked: "I saw 'cm laying there. Who knows if I should have felt something. . . anyway I didn't." All the victims of the 10-minute. two-stickup spree were reported in good condition and in no dan ger. Ilaynes, of R e n t o n, Wash., walked into the Short Stop Tavern at 897 Geary St. at about 1 a.m. He was wearing a black leather jacket, a "T" shirt and jeans and no one believed him when he de manded money. The adolescent drew a .32 cali ber automatic and told patrons to "walk to the back of the place." Earl L. Russell, 31, asked: "What for?" Police said Hayncs then dropped Russell with one bullet in the upper thigh and then turned the gun on Clement Hunt. 61, who went down with a slug in his stom ach. Haynes told questioning police: "I don't know anything about it, but there was this one old lady. . . she got on my nerves. Then somebody started pushing me and some other guy tried to rush me, So I started shooting. That's all." Without setting1 any loot, the day. Slim told newsmen Tunisia was studying means of putting the issue before tne council The highest body in the U.N. In Tunisia, there were cries the French had committed an act. of war. The French claim the bomb ing was a localized military move to wipe out antiaircraft positions manned by Algerian rebels in-, side Tunisia. The Tunisians said 78 persons were killed and 84 wounded in the daylight raid Sat urday on Sakiet Side Youssef. Communist opponents of the United States were expected to make propaganda capital -ut of the fact that 17 of the planes the trench used in the attack were American-made U t w i n-engine B26 bombers and 6 Navy Corsair fighter-bombers. The attack aroused open con cern in Washington. The State Department said the U.S. govern ment was "profoundly aisiurbed." Secretary of State Dulles called in French Ambassador Herve Al phand "to express our concern and to seek further information," a statement said. The State Department was ex pected to try (1) to get the French to minimize their use of "hot pur suit" against Algerian rebels flee ing into Tunisia, and (2) to get the Tunisian government to tight en border regulations so as to re duce rebel traffic into Tunisia. The French said the attack was to wipe out an antiaircraft emplacement that had damaged a French plane. The attack was only against military objectives. they claimed, adding that aerial photographs showed that nine tenths of the village remained in tact. Nehi Ladgham, Tunisian state cr!ta.ry' .sajd a', funeral for 58 of the victims that schools and homes had been bombed. Goesta Heuman, a Swedish Red Cross official who watched from the town's outskirts as the 25 French warplanes bombed and strafed for an hour, said, "I will never forget the horrible sight of Sakiet. Wom en and children lay dead and bleeding." The attack came at the height of the market hour while the streets and market squares were crowded. v American and British officials were openly fearful that the French action had been a serious new blow to the Western position in tne Aran world. Tunisian President Habib Bour guiba, regarded in Washington and London as heretofore a good friend of the West, demanded that the French immediately withdraw the 20,000 troops that remained in Tunisia after the protectorate gained independence from France in 1955. He also demanded that the French give up the big naval base at Bizerte, a vital NATO position. Tunisian National Guard troops took up stations around all French military posts in Tunisia und French military vehicles were banned from all roads. The Tunis newspaper L'Action, an organ of Bourguiba's ruling Neo-Destour party, accused the French of an act of war and as serted: "The hard reality teaches us every day that hanging onto the shirt tails of the West brings us only insults and humiliation. One thing is clear: to be re- spected in 1958 one cannot remain a friend of the West. To be treated with consideration and courtesy one has to be a Nehru, Tito or Nasser." The Arab stales rallied behind Tunisia. ' The Egyptian Cabinet went into emergency session to review the incident. President Nasser's sec- retary of slate, All Sabry. said Egypt "denounces the French oppressive aggression." City Holdup gunboy ran four blocks- to the Sen ate Hotel where he pulled his gun on Alexander Chapman, 61, a clerk. Chapman handed over !3 from a cash drawer and $1 of his own. Haynes ordered him then to "turn around and don't look this way. After that the youth shot Chapman three times in the back, police added. "I got mad at him," Ilaynes said. "He was acting kind of smart, so, I shot him. He acted foreign. I don't like foreigners, so I let him have it. . . that's all." Chanman managed to drag himself to a telephone and call po lice. Two patrolmen George Jeffrey and Joseph Flynn spotted the youth minutes later and jumped him before he could drag his gun from a shoulder holster. There was one bullet led. Detectives said Haynes was AWOL from an Air Force unit at Little Hock, Ark., and has been arrested in Washington State a dozen times before his enlistment 17 mopths ago. Earl Haynes, his father, said the boy "got mixed up with the wrong people." But, my God, I never thought it would come to something like this," the aircraft plant employe said. I knew he couldn t settle down and he liked to fool around. . . . But this shooting is something else." Police booked Ilaynes on two counts of attempted murder and two counts of attempted robber. He also was held for the U, f. marshal as an Air Force deserter.
