COXP. O.OP ORE.LIBRART so rrt M . In The- Day's flews By FRANK JENKINS Many of our nation's newspa pers (this one not included) print ed a picture yesterday of the Si mon Bolivar statue in Washing ton that was decidedly unusual The statue, located across the street from the Interior Depart ment building, depicts the greal Latin American liberator mount ed on a spirited horse and wav ing his sword above his head. Yesterday's picture was unusu al because it showed an AMER ICAN FLAG flying from the tip of Bolivar's sword. What happened? A trick photographer maneu vered his camera around until he got the flag flying from its staff above the Interior Depart ment building exactly in line w ith the tip of the Bolivar sword and pushed the button. The result was the startling pic ture. Unusual? Not at all. In Washington they are, and long have been, expert at making 'lungs look like they ain't. More from Washington: Latin America is in a danger ous period because of conflicting social and economic pressures, according to Philippe de Seynes, United Nations undersecretary for Economic and Social Affairs Under-secretary de Seynes add ed: "It is true that Latin America la going through a particularly dangerous period in which the so cial aspirations, having grown more rapidly than economic capacity, express themselves in impatience and sometimes in an ger." He concluded: "This is a period in Latin America in which certain archaic structures resist essential re forms." Well, he was talking in official Washington gobblcdy-gook, and as a result nobody outside Washing ton has even the foggiest idea of what he was talking about. That's one of the things that is wrong with our federal gov rnmcnt in these days. Still more from Washington: The U.S. Foreign Aid Agency has dropped a project to bring - EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION to underdeveloped countries. The project, part of an abun doned $16 million program, would have put more than 1.000 large transistorized television sets out in remote areas nf Africa and elsewhere. The idea came under fire in congress last year, and was postponed. ?T??????????? As nearly as can be deter mined, the idea was to park big TV sets out in the African jun gleso that in intervals between their tribal wars the natives might be enabled to come and see MODERN CULTURE, and thus be diverted from their evil ways. Question: Do you reckon their tribal ways are any worse than the ways of life they might have puked up from watching modern TV? Evidently somebody in authori ty had his doubts, and so the idea was abandoned. Personally, I think it was just as well. Soviets Bar Trial News MOSCOW il'PI' The Soviet Supreme Court today barred press and public during testimony by expert witnesses nn the impor tance of secrets allegedly slipped to the West by an English busi nessman and a Soviet srientilic official. Tass news agency said the court heard two witnesses, identified as A P. Dolgikh and V V. Etrnchen ko. and "experts' conclusions with the regard to live degree of secre cy of the inlormalion collected and transmitled by the accused to foreign intelligence services.'' Tass said the trial will resume open sessions Friday. It was the third day of the trial of Greville Wynne. 42. and Oleg Penkovsky. 43. Both fare a pos sible death penalty on charges ol tunneling Soviet economic, politi cal and mililary secrets to Ameri can and British agents during litfit and l:i. Wynne has testified he merely acted as a courier and did not know the contents of the informa tion he got (mm Penkovsky. In open court Wednesday he claimed he had been duped and coerced into working as a British spy. Penkovsky Insisted that Wynne knew exactly what he was doing and what was in the information Th substance of the secrets thev allegedly handled was nm made public on the ground of security.

KU Board Composition Uncertain The composition of the Klam ath Union High School Board of Directors is uncertain due to the untimely death Wednesday of board member Mrs. Margaret Sheridan and a ruling from school attorney George Proctor thai C. O. Bursting won't be a member of the board until July 1. Oregon State law tor a union high school district reads that school board director who moves out of the district he was serv ing in shall serve only until the next annua election. This is interpreted by Proctor to mean that Bnrsting legally served only until May 6. Unless Bursting cares to con test the opinion, the board is now. kinlil Lou Kellison is sworn in. comprised nf Chairman John D. votli. Charles Houston and Steve Walker. ....... The board apparently can func tion with three members, mak ing a quorum. If one member, however, could not attend a meet ing, nn official action could be taken by the remaining two direc tors. A special meeting of the board was called for 4 p.m. today. Thursday, to discuss the ; ap pointment of a -board member to fill the lale board member's chair.

Russian Concern WASHINGTON (UPH-A Scnatel subcommittee expressed "grave concern" today that Russian mis siles may be hidden away in the myriads of caves in Cuba. The group also said in a report on an investigation of Soviet mili tary activities on the Island that l",5nQ was "perhaps a minimum figure" for the number of Rus sians still there. President Kennedy has cslimat ed the number at about 13,000. The preparedness subcommittee included in its censored .14-page report a strong attack on the Cen tral Intelligence Agency for "faul ty" evaluation" of information re ceived before and since the Oc tober missile crisis.

An intelligence major THURSDAY, MAY 9. 1963 it 13 Missiles On Cub a Senate Committee Kor one thing, the subcommittee said, the CIA eeemed to take too optimistic a view of the situation. The report said intelligence offi cials apparently refused to accept reports that Russian missiles had been sent to Cuba until reconnais sance planes took pictures of them a mid-October. . Want On-site Inspection Although intelligence ollicinls now say they are convinced the offensive weans have been taken out, the report added, there is no absolute assurance of this. The subcommittee said that only through a "thorough, penetrating on-site inspection by reliable ob servers" can it be ascertained for certain that strategic missiles are not slashed away in Cuban caves and elsewhere. The subcommittee frowned on 'a disinclination on the part of the intelligence community to ac cept and believe the ominous por tent" of information gathered since last October's missile crisis, particularly data provided by Cu ban refugees. Some refugees have repeatedly insisted that missiles and possibly long-range Russian bombers are hidden away in Cuban caves. .Stress Russian Danger The Senate group said Hie Cuba itualinn still rates the "highest pos.-ible priority" by government official.-;.

JFK Lauds Southland's Pact Effort WASHINGTON UPII - Presi dent Kennedy says that the Unit ed States is going to continue to have racial difficulties until equal treatment is given to all Ameri can citizens. The President made tlie state ment at his news conference Wednesday in praising white and Negro citizens of Birmingham, Ala., for their efforts to end "an ugly situation" there. "While much remains to be set tled before tlie situation can be termed . satisfactory," Kennedy said, "we can hope that tensions will ease and that this case hit- lory which has so far only nar rowly avoided widespread' vio lence and fatalities will remind every slate, every community, and every citizen how urgent it is that all bars to equal oppor tunity and treatment be removed as promptly as possible. The President said that Ihe sit uation in the Alabama city had been "damaging the reputation ofj Birmingham and tlie United States." "It seems lo me thai tlie best way to prevent that kind of dam age, which is very serious, is to, in lime, take steps to provide equal treatment to all of our cit izens," he added. "That is the best remedy in this case and other cases." Asked if he thought a "fireside chat" on civil rights would serve a constructive purpose in improv ing race relations, the chief ex ecutive replied that if he thought it would he would give one. ireig. s ......

A bi-racial committee met again Wednesday night but made no announcement of results. -1- Negro Leadership Divided ' -The big problem in a settle ment appeared to be among the Negro leadership, sharply divided as to whether full scale demon strations should be resumed to day. The racial truce, after which all major demonstrations were called off Wednesday while last minute details of a permanent agreement were discussed, al most fell apart in the late after noon when King was lodged in jail for the second time in less than a month. The Atlanta Intcgrati6n leader and the Rev.
