PAGE TWELVE HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY, MARCH 13. 1958 Council Manager Plan Eyed At Local C Of C Meeting The mayor' committee to in vestigate the council manager form of government for Klamath Falls met mild opposition from former city councilman Al Con drey during a board meeting of the chamber of commerce in the Winema Hotel Wednesday after noon. Chairman oro tern of the com mittee, Sam Ritchey, had staled earlier that in their two years of investigation, they had not re ceived any adverse comment from the city managers or the agencies which they queried. Satellite Try Boas Down CAPE CANAVERNAL, Fla. W The Navy's Project Vanguard, grounded by repeated frustrations apparently floundered in serious difficulty today. None of the officials in charge would comment. The Navy has lowered a strict curtain of secrecy over its space research program, dogged by misfortune. there were definite indications a Vanguard satellite - launching might be days or even weeks away. Meanwhile, the rival Army Ju piter-C program, despite troubles of its own, pushed to the fore. Secretary of the Army Wilber Brucker said in Washington that launching of a third Explorer sat ellite has been authorized. The Navy called off its third attempt in a week to launch the Vanguard three-stage rocket with a grapefruit-size satellite in its nose. It blamed technical difficulties which slowed the test beyond the time that liquid oxygen could be retained in the rocket without freezing the valves and other sen sitive fittings. Experts said it may prove that to much work it required to get the shopworn Vanguard back into condition that a launching may be out of prospect for possibly weeks. An Army spokesman said the Army has five additional Juplter C rocket combinations which will be used to put up satellites. . The Army launched its first Ex plorer satellite successfully Jan. 31, using the four-stage Jupitcr-C. Its second launching attempt, March S, was unsuccessful. Condrev's protestations were based on the fact that he believed that the city would not save money by the hiring of a manager; and that if a manager were hired, he would be very young and likely to leave as soon as he had gained enough experience, or very old and from the discard pile. However. Condrey. who made H clear that he was expressing his own views and not those of any one else, was told by Ritchey and the two other members of the board, Ed Robinson and Lynn Roycroft, that the city will save not only money, but a duplication of effort in many phases o( its administration. It was Ritchey who stated that the manager will be responsible for all functions of city govern ment, freeing councilmen from their current involvements. He explained that currently, each councilman is the chairman of one or more committees and is also a member of several others. In order to reach decisions, Ritchey pointed out, it takes at least two councilmen. He stated that a city manager would free the council men of purely administrative du ties. -The mayor ana council, ne said, would then be able to con centrate on basic policies to be followed. Committeeman Robinson an swered Condrey's charges that a man will, leave after he "learns the ropes" by saying that adequate pay, commensurate with his skills and the growth of the town will keep a trained individual here. He illustrated by saying that the city manager of Astoria has been on the job 26 years. Roycroft told the group and Con drey that the manager's salary will be in the $8,000 to 112,000 group and that with the consolidation of duties by the manager, such as bulk purchasing, the manager will be able to save the city, and thus the taxpayer, at least his yearly salary. As a point of clarification, it was stated that civil service under the council manager system would continue, with these exceptions: The fire chief-, his immediate as sistant and the chief of police. Rltchev. n the absence of chair man Murdo Morrison, urged the voters to consider the advantages of the plan during the primary election, May 16. Cubans Brace For Action Experts Caution Against Heavy Stock Market Buying HAVANA W Armed with a new decree suspending civil lib erties. President rulgencio Batis ta's police and army stood ready to smash antigovernment demon strations if thousands of Havana university students go through with plans to hold a mass meet ing today. The students planned to assem ble on the first anniversary of a rebel invasion of Batista's palace. About 20 persons were killed at the palace and 20 more elsewhere in Havana during a daring but poorly organized plot to kill or kidnap the Cuban President. The suspension of civil liberties was rammed through Batista's new "peace cabinet" in an em ergency session, forcing the resig nation of Premier Emilio Nunez Portuondo. The fiery little diplomat's walk out was a face-saving gesture. Only the night before he had promised constitutional guaran tees would not be suspended for the eighth time in 15 months. His cabinet resigned with him, then most of the ministers took their jobs back,-and Nunez Portuondo prepared to return to his previous post as Batista's ambassador to the United Nations. Minister of State Gonzalo Gucll became premier. . The first effect of the new de cree was to bring back censorship of Cuban newspapers, radio and TV as well as outgoing foreign dispatches. Police also were empowered to make arrests without warrants and hold prisoners without charg es. All mass meetings were banned, in effect halting cam paigning for the June 1 presiden tial election. The decree remains in force 45 days but can be re newed. NEW YORK (LP Wall Street notes that the stock market re-i ccntly has done much better than business, but it doesn't look lor a runaway advance. The experts as a result of this thinking have been gently caution ing against going all out on the buying side. They admit there are several strong spots in the economy but (ind that scleral adverse items, notably the poor sales of autos, are balancing them off. The auto situation is linked di rectly to the unemployment pic ture by some of the economists. For example. International Statis tical Bureau believes there will be no marked reversal of automobile sales until the employment pic ture starts to right itself. And. the bureau adds, the up turn in stock prices is not to be taken as a harbinger of uninter rupted rise. "It is not to be ac cepted as an indication as yet that the October low may not still be .tested. "However, the recent action ol the market must be interpreted as indicating that fundamentals are beginning to exert an influ ence, and that belief is gaining mat tne present recession will not continue much further, although the upturn may be slow in devel oping. . . The present action of the mar ket may also suggest that earn ings, while continuing unfavorable during the current quarter, may not deteriorate much further in the second quarter." High Speed Sled To Be Developed CANOGA PARK, Calif. W A seven-ton rocket sled that will out speed a low-power rifle bullet is under development, its builders report. Liquid oxygen and alcohol fuel will drive the aluminum vehicle 1,700 m.p.h., nearly 2V4 times the speed of sound, the Rockctdyne Division of North American Avia tion, Inc., said. . The pencil-shaped, 43-foot sled will be delivered this fall to the Air Force for high-speed tests on a seven-mile track at Holloman Air Development Center in New Mexico. Young Mother, Child Parted SAN JOSE. Calif. Iffl Santa Clara County juvenile authorities said today a 10!i-year-old child mother and her son have been placed in separate foster homes. The baby was born January 28 by Caesarian section. The girl's name has not been reported. "She was auite childlike in her relation with the baby," said Sister Ann, a Roman Catholic nun at the hospital where the baby was born. She thought the Daoy was funny and just grinned at it. "About all she said was that it didn't look like her." ' The father has not been identified.

Wayne Martin Linoleum and Tile 194S So. 6th Killian Forecasts Many U.S. Orbs SAN DIEGO, Calif. Wl The United States soon will have 25 satellites whirling around in outer space, says Dr. T. J. Killian, dep uty director and chief scientist of the Office of Naval Research. While satellites, have no value as launching platforms, Killian said, he thinks they are of mili tary value for surveillance and communications. "They can serve as relay points for communications," lie said in an interview. "And when we have 25 satellites in the air, as we soon will, they could even serve as double relay points. Standard & Poor's also notes several elements of strength such r a pickup in machine tool or ders, high consumer sales, good progress being made in reducing inventories, and prospect of a tax cut. But Standard adds: 'Investors are likely to remain cautious until they can foresee not only the bottom ot the recession but also a marked recovery in corporate profits. The latter phrase could still be some time away." Investors Advisory Institute ad vises against gearing any invest ment program at this time to any stock market average. "Stock price patterns," it notes, "are be coming increasingly diverse. At this stage, better purchases can be made in industries or individ ual situations backed by their own ii-dependently favorable trends." Alexander Hamilton Institute finds a definite lack of confidence among investors. "It would there fore be sound financial procedure to continue a policy of caution, restricting new commitments to issues of a defensive nature or in carefully selected situations where a rising trend is evident," the service concludes. According to William R. White, analyst for Hornblower 4 Weeks, "Approach of spring and more seasonable weather is sufficiently exhilarating in itself to justify a ray of hope for economic recov ery. Something more tangible, how ever, will be required such as a resurgence in motor car sales and in steel output along with a burst of construction activity if a newborn conlidence is to endure for long. "Accordingly, it may be sur mised that in the "next few weeks a critical test will confront indus try and financial markets." OSBURN HOTEL EUGENE. ORE. Un. J. B.

F Many Cancer Cases Seen LOS ANGKLES Wl-Tliere will be 50,000 cases of breast cancer in American women next year and 17,000 of the victims will die, says Dr. Ralph R. Coffey, director of surgery at the Kansas City Gen eral Hospital. "It would be difficult to say what the ratio of malignancy to nonmalignancy is in breasi. tu mors," Dr. Coffey said, "but in my own practice the biopsies run 10 nonmalignant to one mali-nant." He said many women, discover ing a lump in the breast, never theless are afraid to consult a physician, partly because they fear cancer, partly because they fear breast disfigurement. Dr. Coffey explained that it is possible to make a submammary crease incision that is not visible after the operation, regardless of where the lump in the breast has appeared. He has pioneered a rad ical incision method that leaves no disfigurement, bypasses the blood supply that courses through the domed wall of muscles, and yet his patients have full use of their arms within two days of the operation. 'Dr. Coffey stressed the need for women to make monthly self-ex- anunations and report promptly the existence of breast lumps. He spoke at the annual Congress of the International College of Sur geons. YOU'RE INVITED ...
