In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Here's an intriguing little
from San Francisco:
item
The Grand National Livestock
Exhibition, Horse Show and Rodeo
opened a ten-day run at the Cow
Falacc this morning.
Exhibits opened at noon and a
-.' COW MILKING DEMONSTRA
TION is scheduled for 5 p.m.
y Why is that intriguing?
For a possible answer, let's turn
; to a little squib in the news from
San Rafael, in Marin county,
, across the Bay Area from San Ma
teo county, in the edge of which
; by a narrow squeak, the Cow Pal
ace is located. The item reads:
; ' Municipal Judge Harold Haley
'i look strong action Tuesday against
two teen-agers who DROVE AN
AUTO OVER THE FRONT LAWNS
OF 25 MARIN COUNTY HOMES
because they thought it would be
FUN.
The driver of the car was sen
tenced to 10 days in jail, fined $75,
given three years probation and
ordered not to drive for 90 days.
His companion was sentenced to
: five days in jail, fined $25, placed
on three years probation and or
dered not to drive for 30 days.
. -l)amage to the 25 lawns was es
timated at about $1,000.
What's the connection between
that escapade and the milking
"demonstration" at the Cow Pal
ace?
t Let's put it this way:
Two or three generations ago in
our America, more or less every
family kept a cow. Taking care of
the cow, including milking it night
end morning, was a part of the
: daily life of the teen-agers of that
generation. That and the other
chores so vitally necessary in the
economic life of that day such
, as buck-sawing wood for the kitch
en stove and splitting kindling to
get the fire going in the morning.
These and a multitude of other
tasks kept the youngsters of that
day and age so busy they had lit
tle time left for pure deviltry such
. as driving a car across 25 beaut i
; ful lawns just to see what would
' happen.
Those days are gone never to
return. .
No longer docs a family keep a
cow. As a matter of fact, keeping
a cow is probably forbidden in
every town and city. One gets
one's milk in easier ways even
including mixing water with milk
.; powder out of a package. For the
'breakfast cooking, one turns a
! switch. For heat, one pushes a but-
ton or thumbs a thermostat.
If one sought to bring back the
If- CHORES of yesteryear as a means
of keeping teen-agers busy, it
; would amount merely to MADE
( ' WORK and nothing infuriates
, people, oldsters and youngsters
r alike, more than being compelled
, to do MADE work.
I What to do about it?
. I don't know.
I But in our circulation department
here at the Herald and News we
have USEFUL work for youngsters
to do. CONSTRUCTIVE work. Work
that involves sound and useful busi
5 aess training. I'm referring, of
Course, to delivering papers.
i You'd be surprised, I think, if
jrou knew the amount of legal red
taps that has to be unwound be
fore a youngster is PERMITTED
to carry papers. Maybe it would
be better if there were LESS red
tape. Maybe it would be better if
we made it easier, rather than
harder, for our youngsters to do
non-exhausting and truly construc
tive work.
About a century and a half ago,
Isaac Watts wrote in his Divine
Songs: "For Satan finds some mis
chief still for IDLE hands to do."
I suspect that is still true.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - A
confessed stranglcr of three Los
Angeles area models today led
police officers to the desert graves
of two of them.
Calmly, Harvey M. Glatman of
Los Angeles led officers to a re

Moscow Radio Tells Author
To Get Out Of The Country
LONDON (AP) Moscow radio
reported that a meeting of Rus
sian writers asked the Soviet
government to deprive author
Boris Pasternak of Soviet citizen
ship. LONDON (AP)-Moscow Radio,
in 10 languages, invited novelist
poet Boris Pasternak today to get
out of the Soviet Union.
"Let him go where he wishes
to," the broadcasts said of the
writer, who turned down the 1958
Nobel Prize this week under heavy
Soviet pressure. "No Soviet man

Court Weighs
Beat Charges
FT. JACKSON, S.C. (AP) A
general court-martial board was
expected to retire today to con
sider charges of mistreating re
cruits brought against 1st. Lt.
Gerald M. Wheatley, 23, of Bridge
ton, N.J.
Wheatley faced a maximum
sentence of 3tt years in prison
and dismissal from the service
if convicted on the three charges
of assault and battery, two of con
duct unbecoming an officer and
one charge of maltreating re
cruits. Wheatlcy's ceurt-martial was
the last of the three "grease trap
trials"-at this Army recruit train
ing center.
The lieutenant was the com
manding officer of Company B,
4th Battalion of the 1st Training
Regiment.
Court-martialed and convicted
earlier were M. Sgt. George So
vie, 30, of Ogdensburg, N.Y., and
Sgt. l.C. Charles Moman, 28, of
Empire, Ala. Sovie was reduced
one rank and fined $450; Moman
also lost a stripe and was fined
$300.
Throughout Wheatleys two-day
trial, the government argued that
he was responsible for degrading
acts and various indignities the
recruits were ordered by the ser
geants to perform.
The prosecution took the posi
tion that Wheatley had knowledge
of what was going on in his com
pany and became himself a prin
cipal in the commission of the of
fenses when he failed to halt
itern disciplinary measures.
The defense succeeded in show
ing that Wheatley was not pres
ent when recruits underwent such
ordeals as being dipped into
mess hall grease trap.
He made a date with her Mon
day night for some picture-taking
but, instead, took her out on the
Santa Ana Freeway, produced a
gun and attempted to assault her,
police said. However, she suc
ceeded in grabbing the gun and
was holding Glatman at bay when
officers happened to come along.
Sheriff's officers said the three
women killed first were raped.
They quoted Glatman:
"I would make them kneel
down. With the gun on them, I
would tic this five-foot piece of
rope around their ankles. Then I
would loop it around their neck.
Then I would stand there and
keep pulling until they quit strug
gling. He said he used the same piece
of sash cord and the same pistol
in all assaults. The weapons were
in his car when highway patrol
men found a fourth intended vic
tim holding the gun on him after

Pasternak rejected the $41,420

Wednesday, six days after it was

thanked the Royal Swedish Acad

changed his mind because of the
storm raised in the Soviet press.
If Voinov's statement is correct,
Pasternak still would have an in

Swedish publishers of the book,
said all royalties up to now have
been collected by Gian Giacomo
Feltrinelli, the Italian publisher

In Milan, Feltrinelli declined to

Ike Makes Last Bid
For GOP
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Eisenhower makes a
final bid tonight for a Republican
Congress. The opposition says he
owes thanks to the Democratic-
controlled Congress for any ad
ministration accomplishments.
Eisenhower, who has cam
paigned with new vigor in this
year's battle for Congress,
chose Baltimore for his windup
vote-Republican appeal to the na
tion via radio and' television.
The President has struck some
heavy blows at the Democrats in
speeches all the way to the West
Coast. But he was expected to
lay emphasis tonight on what he
contends arc his administration's
achievements in the foreign and
domestic fields.
Senate Democratic Leader Lyn-
Consistory
May Be Called
VATICAN CITY (AP) Pope
John XXIII's activities stirred
speculation today that he would
call a consistory soon perhaps
before Christmas to increase
and strengthen the College of
Cardinals.
Vatican observers picture the
new spiritual sovereign of the
world's half billion Roman Catho
lics as anxious to strengthen his
senate of cardinals in the light of
the vastly complex problems of
administration facing the church
in the modern age.
There are still 17 vacancies in
the college, whose normal strength
is 70. It is believed likely the new
pontiff is considering elevating at
least two American prelates to
bring the U.S. representation to
23.
The far-flung affairs of the
church would seem to require a
continuation of Pius XH's policy
of stressing the church's univer
sality. It would be no surprise.
therefore, if Pope John named at
least two new Latin American car
dinals, one African who perhaps
would be the first Negro cardinal
in history, and at least one mere
Asian.
Vacancies also might be filled in
Spain, Austria, the Netherlands
and England.
Almost sure to be raised to the
purple are Msgr. Domenico Tar-
dini, Vatican prosecretary of
state, and Archbishop Giovanni
Battista Montini of Milan. Both
long had served Pius XII in the
administration of foreign affairs,
and both received his permission
to decline a cardinal's red hat so
that they could work closely with
him.
Free-Swinging Debate Held

PORTLAND (AP) Oregon's
two candidates for governor Dem

In what was probably their last

her because he walked her "al
most a mile into the desert and I
didn't think anyone would find her
there."
Last July 23 he called on Miss
Ruth Rita Mercado, 24, through
a modeling advertisement. He
spent the night in the apartment,
assaulting her repeatedly at gun
point, then forced her to walk to
his car.
"I didn't want to kill her." Glat

one I really liked. So I told her
we were going out to a deserted
spot where we wouldn't be both

We drove out to the Escondido
district. I tried and tried to fig
ure out how to keep from killing
her. But I couldn't come up with
any answer, so I got out the rope

the others. I piled some brush

her there."
FALLS. OREGON, FRIDAY,
Congress
don Johnson of Texas said Eisen
hower has received more coopera
tion from Democrats in Congress
than from Republicans in the
House and Senate.
Speaking to a party rally in In
dianapolis, Johnson said the Pres
ident ought to remember "that the
accomplishments he now holds
forth as Ins own are the works of
a Democratic Congress."
In this connection, Johnson men
tioned antirecession measures and
steps to counter Soviet scientific
advances. The Texan said Demo
cratic votes saved Eisenhower's
foreign policy programs in Con
gress. The Senate Democratic leader
also dismissed as scare words the
charges by Republican campaign
ers, including Eisenhower, that
the Democrats harbor political
radicalism.
In the same vein. Democratic
National Chairman Paul Butler
accused Eisenhower of using radi
calism and socialism as scare
words against the Democrats.
Noting that Eisenhower's Balti
more speech tonight falls on Hal
loween, Butler said in a state
ment that Eisenhower should
"throw away the hobgoblin speech
your ghosts have written" and
discuss the issues.
Vice President Nixon forced
deeper into the West today, still
sounding an optimistic note on Re
publican prospects next Tuesday.
Nixon was headed for Billings,
Mont., and Everett. Wash., be
fore going on to Alaska to back
GOP candidates in that new state.
Alaska will vote Nov. 25.
At Wichita, Kan., Thursday
night, Nixon urged Republican
party workers to "pour it on all
over the country" in these closing
days of the campaign. He said the
Democrats have run out of gas
and pictured them as stagger
ing and stumbling toward the fin
ish line."
A crowd of nearly 10,000 per
sons Nixon called it his largest
of the campaign heard him in
person. The speech also was tele
vised. Adlai E. Stevenson, Democratic
presidential candidate in 1052 and
1956, appeared at a party rally in
Chicago and said" a "void left by
the lailure of white House leader
ship is being filled by Congress."
Stevenson, preparing to cam
paign in Minnesota Saturday, said
that "whom we send to the House
and Senate this year will have an
unusually heavy influence on the
course of American policy during
the next two critical years.

disregarded his campaign prom
ise and increased the number of
state agencies from 116 to 118.
Holmes lashed at Hatfield for
his advocacy of a business tax,
which the governor called sales
tax talk.
The governor said a gross busi
ness tax such as Mr. Hatfield pro
poses is a tax on the gross vol
ume of business done by a busi
nessman or corporation.
'It has no relation whatsoever
to capacity to pay," he said. "Not
only does this tax proposed by
the Republican candidate deal a
devastating blow to the small
businessman but it places a much
more devastating blow on the fi
nal consumer of goods.
Hatfield asked Holmes: "Have
you got property tax relief in Mult
nomah County?"
The governor said it was not
the state's business to interfere
with acts of elected county of
ficials that are legal.
Hatfield charged the governor
fought the closure of coastal
streams and defended the com
mercial fisherman.
"I fought the construction of
the Pclton Dam along with the
Isaac Walton League and the Ore

Sex Charge
Jails Fireman
Stanley Hasey, a 48-year-old city
fireman, was arrested Thursday
afternoon on a charge of con
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor.
Hasey was arrested on a cir
cuit court bench warrant issued
soon after the Klamath County
Grand Jury made its report
Thursday. He was one of two per
sons named in two secret indict
ments returned by the jury.
The indictment charges that Ha
sey had improper relations with
a teen-aged girl.
At an arraignment before Cir
cuit Judge David R. Vandcnberg,
Hasey's bail was set at $2,500.
He was booked in county jail in
lieu of bond. Incredibly, although
the indictment against him was
secret, Hasey appeared voluntar
ily in the sheriff's office after of
ficers first had been unable to
find him.
Deputy Sheriff Fred Calfec ex
plained that he went to the Cen
tral Fire Station to arrest Hasey
soon after the bench warrant was
issued. Hasey was not present at
the moment, so Calfee planned to
return.
Instead, Hasey soon appeared
in the sheriff's office, saw Cal
fee, and asked if Calfee wanted
to see him. Calfee did.
The deputy explained that Iho
had served a divorce paper on
Hasey September 23. He said Ha

Atom Arms Tests
GENEVA (AP) Russia today
reiterated its demand for an im
mediate suspension of nuclear
weapon tests forever.
Soviet delegate Semyon K. Tsar-
apkin made the demand at the
start of negotiations with the Unit
ed States and Britain for a joint
suspension of tests under interna
tional control.
Tsarnpkin said a permanent un
dertaking by the three powers to
stop tests should precede negotia
tion of the control system to de
tect violations. The West has con
sistently refused to agree to a per
manent cessation of tests unless
the control system is set up first.
Meanwhile, voluntary British
and American cessation of tests
for a one-year period went into
effect today. But both countries
have given notice they will re
sume testing if Russian tests con
tinue. The negotiations, expected to
continue for at least a month, will
be conducted in privacy.
The two Western governments
liopce the Soviet Union would join
them in an informal suspension
of test explosions for the time be
ing.
All three nations professed to
favor banning the tests, but a
continuing East-West split was un
derlined by these developments on
the conference eve:
1. The Soviet Union insisted that
the talks must lead to an agree
ment outlawing tests immediately
and forever, regardless of wheth
er a control system is approved.
2. The United States and Brit
ain announced a conditional one-
year suspension of their tests, ef
fective last midnight. The condi
tion was that the Soviet Union
cease firing nuclear explosives
too.
The West will not resume test
ing unless the Russians do so
first," a Western delegate said.
"This could lead to the test sus
pension starting informally, with
a whimper instead of a bang."
There was no immediate com
ment from the Russians, however,
as to whether they would join in
the suspension.
Heading the delegations are
Ambassador James J. Wadsworth
of the United States, Semyon K.
Tsarapkin of the Soviet Union and
Minister of State David Ormsby
Gore of Britain.
Now Soviet notes - sent to the
Western powers Thursday sugr
gested that Secretary! of State
Dulles, Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko and British For
eign Secretary Solwyn Lloyd sit in
later to speed agreement.
This modified the Kremlin's pro
posal a month ago that the meet
ing be raised as the start to the
foreign ministers' level. The
United Stales and Britain indi
cated Dulles and Lloyd would take
part later if agreement appeared
likely.
The Russians have been testing
this fall at their arctic proving
grounds. U.S. scientists, racing
against a diplomatic deadline,

Many Miners
Plan To Quit
SPRINGHILL, N.S., (AP) -
Some of the 12 men rescued from
a week's entombment in a
wrecked coal mine have had it.
Two vowed today they never will
go back to the mines.
Levi Millcy, 47, put it this way
from a hospital bed where the
lucky 12 have been recuperating
since their rescue Thursday:
"Well, you can say this: Levi
Milley, former coal miner of
Springhill and chicken-raiser on
the side, is looking for a full-time
job on a chicken farm some place.
"Doesn't matter where. I'll go
anywhere. They'll never get me
back in that mine.
"I'm never going back into that
mine, said Harold Brine. II I
can't make a living somewhere
else I'll starvo. Being trapped like
that gives you an awful feeling."
A similar view was expressed
by some of the others. Or their
wives said it for them.
Mine rescue crews, meanwhile,
prohed deeper into the Cumber
land No. 2 colliery In search for
4!l miners still missing in the (lis
aster.
Assistant rescue director Frank
Doxcy said he held only slim hope
that any more of the missing men
would be found alive.

shape and can return home after

Record Radioactive Fallout

LOS ANGIiLES (UPI)-A rec

site. Britain has fired five devices
in uie racmc since last spring.
The West considers anv unlimit-
ed commitment to sIod tests
would seriously threaten the secu
rity of the free world unless it
was accompanied by a foolproof
system for detecting violations. It
proposed the Russians join in a
one-year suspension while an
agreement was negotiated.
The long argument over a time
limit led to some fears that nego
tiation of a control system might
bog down from the start.
However, the Soviet notes de
livered to London and Washington
were worded in a more concilia
tory tone than usual.
Western officials said the notes
seemed to indicate the Russians
would not insist on a British and
American commitment to stop
