Mother's Cry Saves Three KASOTA. .Minn. (AP) A moth r's anguished cry, "My children are in there!" sent firemen back into a blazing apartment Sunday night. There, huddled in the bathroom where the flames were the worst, were three brothers and their baby sitter. Mark Olson, 4, died of his burns His brothers, Michael, 8, and Ter ry, 2, and their sitter, Steven Kranz, 16, were burned critically The apartment building was next door to the home of Kasota's fire chief, Isadore Gravelle, one of the first on the scene. Firemen went through the apartment and caw no one. They had just come out when Mrs. Vern Olson re turned home from the cafe she and her husband operate. "There are four children there!" Mrs. Olson cried. The volunteer firemen imme diately re-entered the apartment and found the Olson children and young Kranz in the bathroom. Kasola is about 70 miles south west of Minneapolis. Changes Planned In School Funds SALEM (AP) Changes in the system for distributing basic school support funds m Oregon will be recommended to the next Legislature by its Interim Com mittee on Education. At a weekend meeting here the committee proposed that pay ments be made to the 36 counties for distribution. At present the money is allotted by the state to each of the 570 school districts. The revised program stems from suggestions by .lames eo mans, a former Portland School Board member and a public member of the committee. The program will be part of the committee's recommendations to the intil Legislature.

Jack, free of an indictment charging him with violation of the city charter, resumes his $25,000-a year job today. The nation's highest Negro city official announced his return shortly after the two-monlh-old in dictment was thrown out on a technicality Monday. Charges of conspiracy and vio lation of the city charter grew out of Jack's acceptance of f $4,400 remodeling job on his liar lem apartment from real estale operator Sidney Angar. Angar, Jack's one-time campaign man ager, was seeking city approval at the time for a multimillion-dollar slum clearance project. When he was indicted Jan. 12 Jack voluntarily gave up his job and salary pending a legal de cision. Scientists Have New Idea How Moon Will Look Police Discover Missing Women TILLAMOOK (AP) State Po lice Sunday found two young women who had spent the night lost in rugged and wet, brush tangled coastal area at Cape Lookout. Neither was hurt. Lorraine Vanderzandcn, 22, and Donna Tyer, 20, had gone to the cape to picnic and hike on trails Saturday afternoon, police said. When they failed to return home Sunday morning, their fam ilies asked police to search for them. Officers started from the area where they found the car of the girls. Another Eclipse Coming Sept. 5 NEW YORK (AP) Did you miss the total eclipse of the moon early Sunday? There'll bo another one next Sept. 5. New Yorkers got a perfect view of the eclipse in a cloudless sky. Dr. Joseph M. Chamberlain, chairman of the American Muse-um-Hayden Planetarium, called it "a classic." Throughout the Western Hemis phere, where the weather per mitted, astronomers, photograpers and nature lovers watched the full moon take on a weird cop pery color. The eclipse started here at 1:3B a.m., was total at 2:41 and ended at 5:18. BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) Space men landing on the moon won t find a land weirdly scarred with jagged mountains ana deep cra ters: it will be less rugged than previously thought, and flatter, scientists reported today. These conclusions, disclosed by the Cambridge research center of the Air Research and Develop ment Command, are based on a new technical study of the moon's surface in which British, French and American scientists are tak ing part. The conclusions arc based upon measurements of shadows of lunar prominences as the shadows creep forward, or recede, across the moon's surface. Knowjng the relative positions of earth, moon and sun, it is then possible to compute heights of prominences rising above the sur rounding lunar terrain and deter mine the profile of the surround ing surface. This is described as the first mapping of the face of the moon to show how it will appear to a traveler on its surface. The Air Force scientists say the study shows there is an apparent lack of steep slopes or towering rock faces. In fact; the absence of pronounced landmarks may give the moon traveler difficulty in identifying his position. The new technique had its ori gin in original lunar topography studies made public in February 1958 by Prof. Zdenek Kopal of the University of Manchester, in Eng land, and Dr. Gilbert Fielder, a graduate student. Their work came to the attention of Charles F. Campen, acting chief of the lunar planetary exploration Armies Slashed - On Paper, But Arms Race Continuing GENEVC t PI t - Russia and the West are arming today at a peed unparalleled since World War II despite l.i years of troop cuts that have slashed millions from their armed forces. The arms race today is in nu lear rockets capable of carry ing death to whole cities from one hemisphere to another in- tead of in the mass armies. tanks and bombers of the last war. On paper both sides have dis armed to a bare fraction of their 1945 strength. When World War II ended, the L'nited States had 12.300.000 men under arms. Britain 4,653.000 and the Soviet Union according to its own figures 11,365.000. I'ndrr Three Million Today the United States has about 2.435.000 men in its Army. blanch of the geophysics directo rale, at the Cambridge research center. Campen met with Dr. Kopal in the following April. The result was a contract between the University of Manchester and the U. S. Air Force for developing the technique. Arrangements were made with Dr. Jean Rocsch, director of the Pic-du-Midi Observatory, of the University ot Toulouse, France, for members of the University of Manchester staff to use the ob servatory's 24-inch refracting tele scope. Dr. Roesch and his staff actively assisted. Already it appears. Campen says, that a man standing on the surface of the moon would see a horizon without the immediate, towering crags envisaged in the past by artists who worked from previous concepts of the moon's surface. Vehicle Kills Elderly Man PORTLAND (API-Hugh Ellis. 69, of Portland was struck by a car Saturday night. He died a few hours later in a Portland hospital. Police said a car driven by Dale L. Terrill, 20. of Portland struck Ellis. They quoted Terrill as saying the elderly man rushed out in front of his car. This brought the Associated Press tabulation of traffic fatali ties to 61 for the year and 9 for the month. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Britain has slashed her armed forces to 512.000. By the beginning of 13 they will total only 388,000. Russia, according to Soviet Pre- mlfr Nikita Khrushchev's ligurcs, has 3.623.000 men under arm. now. She has announced further cuts ol 1.200,000 in the next loo years. Total troops in the North At lantic (NATO' Alliance today are some 5.783.000 men compared with about 4.850.000 for Russia and her satellites. If Hoop cuts were all that is needed to ease East-West ten sion, a disarmament agreement should not be too difficult to reach. What both Russia and the West are doing in fact, however, to slash their armed manpower and so-called "conventional" weapons and replace them with the nuclear rockets that have bruught about what sometimes is called the "stalemate of deterrents." Russia Gaining The general consensus of de lense experts today is that the West that is, the United State. has a small edge in military strength at the moment but is heading into a highly dangerous three or four years when Russia's intercontinental rockets will great ly outnumber those of the West. Russia's latest rocket tests indi cate she can fire ballistic mis siles 5.000 miles to within a cer tain mile or two of the target. The U.S. has Atlas interconti nental missiles with a 5.500 mile range operational from American bases and three squadrons of Thor medium rockets installed on Roy al Air Force bases in Britain. But Western defense experts ad mit the Soviets already have a substantial numerical lead in mis siles and that the lead is likely to increase shaiply over the next few years.

It fits lots easier into your garage and into small parking spaces. Plus, it almost runs on carfare. And It looks quite a bit better standing in your driveway and every other place, too.
