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.

"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." '

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."

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.
