McNa mara told Congress today that about 17,000 Soviet military per sonnel still remain in Cuba and that they probably control the principal elements of the island's air defense system. But he also said flatly that U.S. surveillance of the island "has not revealed the existence of stra tegic weapons systems" there since the Soviets pulled out their medium-range missiles in Octo ber. The statement appeared design ed to contradict some refugee re ports that the Russians still have offensive missiles hidden in Cuba The secretary said the United Slates was convinced that the 42 missiles withdrawn from the is land in the aftermath of the Cu ban crisis were real missiles and not dummies. Lists Present Weapons Appearing before a closed-door session of the House Armed Serv ices Committee, MeNamara said the present defense system in Cuba includes 24 surface-to-air de fense missile sites, several coast al missile sites, and about 40 MIG21 jet fighters. The MIGs, he said, were in ad dition to more than 60 erlier ver sions of the same fighter previous ly sent to Cuba by the Russians. The presence of the Soviet mili tary men in Cuba has been known to the administration since the October crisis. President Kenne dy told his news conference last week that "we figure there are still approximately 16.000 or 17,000 Russians there" and that they are continuing to operate the air de fense missile sites. But, the President said, there has not been a military build up "in that sense of the equipment coming in from outside of Cuba." Other Soviet Equipment MeNamara said the Soviets al so had on the island "substantial numbers" of late model tanks, ar mored personnel carriers, artil lery weapons, antitank missiles Stubborn Republican Found Dead In Shack Defense Chief Reveals Soviets Control Cuba and other battlefield weapons. "The more modern ground equipment Is integral to four high ly mobile Soviet ground forces which still remain in Cuba," he said. MeNamara described Russia's current military strength in Cuba in his annual report to the House Committee on the status of U.S. military power. A censored ver sion of his testimony was made public by Chairman Car! Vinson, D-Ga. The secretary said U.S. military experts were "convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that 42 me dium-range missiles were re moved from Cuba aboard eight Soviet ships between Nov. 5-9 and that 42 IL28 bombers were re moved between Dec. 5-6. Fiji Visited By Royalty LONDON (UPI) - Queen Eliz abeth and Prince Philip fly to the tropical Fiji Islands today on their way to an eight-week tour ot Australia and New Zealand. The royal couple scheduled two brief stops at Vancouver, B.C., and Honolulu on the 10,600-mile trip to Fiji, where they will spend two days. They are leaving behind a cris is over the collapse of Britain's effort to enter the European Com mon Market and a new surge of winter snow, ice, freezing tem peratures and a fuel shortage. In Fiji, a royal banquet awaits Elizabeth and Prince Philip pork, native fruits and vegetables and the Fiji royal drink, yanggona. The drink, reported to look and taste like dirty dishwater, is a must for all visitors to the islands. According to tradition, Queen Elizabeth cannot refuse to drink a half coconut shell of yanggona. npirMK.nr tut v. dr kt a tm ipagej-a ucininio inc IVICINVC - HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls, Ore. Thursday, January 31, 196t CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE Do-lt-Yourself Voter Registration System Proposed For California 'AtelVllSON' HEf?'S A PICTURE OF M& 10 KEEP JN yOUK WAHbTj Steel Reports Lowest Earnings In Ten Years NEW YORK (UPI) The U.S. Steel Corp. has reported its net earnings were the lowest in a dec ade in 1962, the year President Kennedy forced the big steel firms to hold the line on prices. But U.S. Steel also announced Tuesday that fourth quarter prof its were high enough to cover div idend requirements. The directors voted to continue for the present tile 60-cent quarterly dividend on common stock, which was insti tuted last spring after Kennedy's action brought cancellation of a $6-a-ton price increase. The firm, biggest steel company in the country, before then had been paying 75 cents a share on common since the first quarter of 1957. "Big Steel" produced and sold more steel, yet cleared it? small est profit, last year since 1952. This was caused not only by the absence of a price boost, but also by increased employment costs provided for in the last steel la bor contract and higher costs for materials. U.S. Steel chairman Roger M. Blough told newsmen the firms' business in the first three months of this year should be "reason ably good." He declined to forecast 1963 earnings but said the company has made some progress in la. bor-savlng and other cost-cutting projects. "Unhappy as the employment situation is, there are two sides to this equation," he said. "I think most workers who have been laid off understand this.' The steel executive said he felt labor now had a better under standing of management problem But he declined to predict the possible outcome of the steel la bor contract negotiations which arc expected to re-open this sum mer. SACRAMENTO (UPI) A do-it-yourself voter registration sys tem was proposed in the Cali fornia Legislature Wednesday. Assemblyman Nicholas Pctris, D-Oakland, authored the bill which had the backing of Gov. Edmund G. Brown. Petris said he and Brown reached an independent conclusion that such legislation was necessary. Under the measure, county clerks would be required to dis tribute books or pads of registra tion affidavits to be filled out by prospective voters in all public buildings and "other such places as large numbers of electors may gather." This includes banks, super markets and department stores," Petris said. "But it is not neccs sarily limited to those places." The Assemblyman called the bill measure to facilitate registra tion in fast-growing California and said it would be a "major step forward in enlarging participa tion by our citizens in their gov ernment. "We really don't need the ritual and structure of deputy registrars signing people up and giving them an oath," said Petris. "The sys tem should be streamlined by making the registration pads available to anyone who asks for them, even in the corner market." Present law allows appointment of deputy registrars sometimes officials of the political parties and at times officials of labor unions to sign up voters. But Pctris said that some coun ties don't permit the registrars to go from house to house to register new voters, although state law specifically allows this practice. Other counties permit full free dom by the deputies and pay from 5 to 10 cents for each voter registered. After the voter is registered, the signature is checked by the county clerk to make certain he is eligible to vote. Petris estimated that in the 1962 general election with more than 7.5 million registered in California, about 3 million who could have legally done so failed to register at all. With Democrats leading by a 3-2 margin in registration, Re publicans seemed certain to ob ject to the measure as a method of registering more Democrats. But Pctris said he hadn't con sidered this. "I hope the Republicans re spond favorably and help us pass it," he said. "But. I haven't dis cussed the bill with any Republi cans. "This convenience makes it more likely that potential voters will register," Petris said. .

(UPI)-They found tho old lawyer dead in his two-room tliack, his mattress shredded by rats and mice, 30 years alter he withdrew from world he didn't understand and didn't want to. Elisha Corbin even his name scorned something out of another era miglit s well liave died in November, 1932. Jh that month Herbert Hoover was defeated in the presidential election by Frank lin D. Roosevelt and Corbin gave up his lucrative law practice in disgust. Ho liad Iwcn a classmate of Hoover at Stanford University be fore the turn of the century. After his graduation from law school, ho joined a politically prominent law firm in San Jose. His practice nourished. But after the defeat of Hoover, Corbin abruptly left hLs life behind him. He moved off to a cabin in the Santa Cnu Mountains, fislied and meditated in angry solitude "Ho was shaken and depressed by the election results." his broth er-in-law, retired Sim Jase Fire Chief Charles Plummer, recalled today. 'Ho seemed to think it was the end of riviliuiuoii as he knew it." He saw no one, except for an occasional neighbor, he took part in nouiing, and. as far as is known. Iw loft nothing behind him. "I only saw him two or three times in tlie last 30 years. The last time was about 10 yaars ago, and wo had a drink together. "He was neatly dressed and temed in good health. He would not discuss politics. But he still had that brilliant mind." Twenty years ago Corbin moved to the sliack in Los Gatos where his body was found Monday. He took long walks and kept his tlioughts to himself. His neiiilibors. encountering him only by acci dent, thought of him as "odd." His body lay on a mattress Uiat Deputy Coroner Richard Alayne described as "chewed opart bv rats and mice." He was estimated to be in his lale 80s. As for evidence of what occu pied hLs "brilliant mind" for those 30 lonely years, there was none. Neither was there any sign he re gretted tliem.
