CCP .."USl'Ar'Er. SECTION GEN.KEF.AN3 DOCui:" 2IV. In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS Tlie news today? HOLD YOUR HAT! In Washington, the Defense De partment wants to drill a MILE DEEP hole in the ground and bury at its base a "post-attack" com mand control headquarters tor emergency use in any nuclear hol ocaust. Presumably, after a nuclear at tack with 100-megaton bombs, ev erything would be destroyed From the bottom of the mile-deep hole, experts would then emerge to direct the job of reconstruc tion. The cost of the hole and the headquarters at the bottom of it (i1 is estimated ,at more than $100 million. Opinion as to the project is divided. The chairman of the House Armed Services committee is against it. So is General Thom as Power, commander in chief of the Pacific Air Command. Defense Secretary McNamara is presumed to be for it. The State Board of Educationition on his initial application in deliberated 35 minutes Wednesday! 1939 he had consulted with the It sounds weird. But at that it makes more sense than some of the other Washing ton proposals to spend a hundred million dollars. For example: The United States is planning a double-header space shot to the neighborhood of the planet Mars in the autumn of 1964. It would be the pioneer effort for a MANNED shot about a decade later. Details of the planned double header came on the eve of a two day symposium on the exploration of Mars, for which many of the nation's top space scientists arc gathering at Denver. Mars is supposed to have an atmosphere much less dense than that of the earth, but still an atmosphere. 'Many straight, dark lines can be seen on it through the telescopes. Decades aso, Percival Lowell of the Lowell Observatory at Flag staff, Arizona, believed these lines were strips of vegetation along the banks of canals, and that they proved the existence of a very de veloped form of life. He believed that the regularity of the lines showed they were planned by in telligent beings. The purpose of this proposed space flight to Mars would be to FIND OUT. Probing question: Do you reckon modern man just might be getting too big for his britches? More about Mars: The planet was named for the cod of war in Roman mythology. Soldiers of the Roman legions, go ing to war. carried chickens that were sacred to Mars. They fed corn to these birds just before an impending battle. II the chickens ate hungrily, it was a sign that the Cod of Bot tles was on their side and they would be sure to win. If the chick ens refused to eat. the Roman sol diers believed tliey would CER TALN'LY LOSE. Fortunatclv tor the military eamoaiens of early Rome, chick ens seldom fail to eat when feed is spread before them. Weal her klamam Fain, Tmelake an lakevleei Partly cloudy aarly lenient.

State Board efuses McEdnny Appea evening before upholding the revo cation of the teaching certificate of Willard C. McKinny, former KUHS principal, and denying him a teaching certificate for the com ing year. The verdict upheld the position of Dr. Leon Mincar. superintend ent of public instruction, who maintained that "A man can nev er divorce himself from his past moral character." The certificate of McKinny was revoked in April of 1H3 by Min car following reports of an inci dent that occurred in Minneapolis, Minn., in February of 1959 and which subsequently resulted in McKinnv being charged with in decent conduct, pleading guilty and paying a WO fine. His current certificate was re voked on the grounds he answered falsely the question "Have you ever been convicted of a crime more serious (ban a minor traf fic violation?" David Card, McKinny's attor ney, testilied that violation of a city ordinance is not considered a crime legally in the state of Min nesota. He indicated, also, that in his opinion this is also the case Oregon. He presented legal evidence to this effect. Later. McKinny testified on his own behalf and indicated that be fore he had answered this ques- Hot Line Proposal ar head psychologist and the head of the personnel department of the University of .Minnesota, and that they had advised him to answer the way he did. He said they were both fully aware of the in cident in question. Card referred to the letter of denial of a new teaching certifi cate from Dr. Mincar in which he stated he had no evidence of the good moral character of McKinny, He then presented 25 witnesses who testified as to the excellent moral character of McKinny from the time he came to Klamath Falls in 1!I59 to the present. Those testi fying included educators, business men. housewives and others of the community. In addition, a num ber of notarized depositions were also entered as evidence to the character and activities of McKin ny in Klamath Falls. Reference was made to his work in Boy Scouts, Kiwanis Club, and other youth activities. The attorney for the superin tendent submitted Minear's file on the case as the only evidence, and indicated that this contained complete correspondence on the case as well as copies of the ar rest report and the court record of the proceedings of the Minne apolis incident, In concluding testimony, Mincar told the board he had no cvi dence whatsoever of 'any miscon duct of McKinny during his four- year tenure in Klamath Falls, but added his belief that a man can never escape the results of his past action. Card opened the presentation at kay 10 a m. Wednesday in the Stale Capitol building offices with a deposition by Dr. Joseph D. Ma larazzo. an eminent psychol ogist of the University of Oregon Medical School who had given Mc Kinny an extensive examination in April of 1963. The psychologist testified in his deposition that the incident was an impulse" incident that could hap pen to almost any normal male, and that his examination proved that McKinny was an average nor mal male with no homosexual tendencies. Several members of the KUHS board .also testified, stating that the incident had first been called to their attention in Sep tember of l!Ki2 and that it had been thoroughly investigated. Following the report of the in vestigation, the board voted to continue McKinny as principal, and in March of 1963. by a vote of 3-1 had moved to offer him a teaching contract for the coming school year if he could provide a teaching certificate from the state board. The actions of the state board loscd the teaching ranks to Mc Kinny in the state of Oregon and followed the same course as a rul ing by the stale board in the cele brated Dean Bay case alwut a year aqo. No objections were voiced at the bearing to the reinstatement of McKinny other than the superin tendent of public instruction views. Decision ot the board was unanimous and came as the first order of the business of the board at a Wednesday evening session '-rU i'V " - , . 4- Vn. f m - " f i.. i IIKIill Operations at Weyerhaeuser Company will be shut down following the day shift on Friday, June 7. This announcement was made Thursday morning by Jack Bishop, manager of the local plant, and will affect about 1,100 men. The shutdown, he said, would commence with the end of the day shift about 4 to 4:30 p.m. Friday except for the orderly closing of some departments such as the dry kilns which may continue for several days. The shutdown is the outgrowth of a current labor dispute involving the timber industry and representatives and members of the 1WA and LSW unions. The statement was issued. ' Court Asked To Reconsider SALEM L'PI' Attorneys for Jeannace June Freeman plan to ask the U.S. Supreme Court for reconsideration of its rejection of her appeal from a death sen tence. The Slate Supreme Court said Wednesday it had received t h e highest court's mandate turning ber down But it w ill not send the man dale to the Jcflerson County Cir cuit Court at Madras unless tlie appeal for reconsideration is de nied.

The link would permit President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Ni kila Khrushchev to communicate w ith each other instantly to pre vent war breaking out by accident. The high sources said the agreement reached after 18 meet ings between American and So viet technical experts here has been approved by President Ken nedy and is now awaiting formal approval from Khrushchev before it can be signed. If all goes well, they said. Khru shchev will approve it in a matter of days and the agreement can be signed in Geneva next week.

As the throngs paid their re spects at the rate of more than 30.000 an hour, the last will and testament of the late Pope was disclosed. In it. he wrote that he! had awaited "simply and happily the arrival of sister death" and asked that his final burial place lx in the Basilica of St. John in Lateran.

Hera, Lowry Wyatt, right, chairman of employers' negotiating committee and vice president of Weyer haeuser, and M. A. Roberts of St. Regis Paper Company, announce shutdown position. St. Regis and U.S. Plywood wera struck early Wednesday by International Woodwork ers of America and Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union. Weyerhaeuser, Crown-Zeller-bach, Rayonier and International Paper plan to support the struck companies by closing their own operations. UPI Telephoto yesterday afternoon in Port land by an association rep resenting six lumber and plywood producers. Text of the statement was as follows: "The six-company association of lumber and plywood producers declares that a strike against one company is a strike against all. The position was taken follow ing strike action by the IWA and LSW against two member com panies. St. Regis Paper Compa ny and U. S. Plywood.

The association was formed Communism Course Okayed For 12th Grade Students wage olfcr provided an average increase of 22 cents per hour for the three-year period. This in crease would give each employe close to $1,000 in added income during the period of the contract. The association feels Uiat tlie wage position involving as il does a $20 million increase in cost for these companies, is as large an offer as the present competitive situation in the lumber and ply wood industry justifies. "Both unions rejected the asso ciation's final offer. They chose to commence strike action against two of tlie member companies. The LSW and IWA union leaders have indicated they are cooper ating in carrying on the strike. They have also indicated that oth er companies in Uie association may be struck in turn if there is no settlement of the contract dispute. It seems clear from the strike action taken against two this year to carry on collective members of the group and from bargaining with the two major unions in the industry.
