Price Ten Cents 14 Pages KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, MONDAY. JUNE 17, 1961 Telephone TU 4-8111 No. 71711 winter In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS The big news today? , IT'S A WOMAN. Who is she? Her name is Valentina Toresh. kova. Her age is 26. In the best communist tradition, she is a for mer factory worker. Her favorite sport was parachute iumoine. That qualified her for cosmonaut naming. When it occurred to the by no means dumb Russians that it would be a fabulous publicity stunt to send a woman into orbit, liter choice was a natural. What is she like? She has dimples. She wore lip slick into space. She has a small spit curl as well as a yen for high adventure. She is aware that at this particular moment in his tory she has a bigger audience than even Liz Taylor. She smiles frequently and waves greetings to her watchers. She's a BLONDE. What do the women in her vast audience think of her? Oregon's Senator Maurine Neu bcrger thinks Russia's orbiting of a woman in space amounts to "a kind of a show ..." She says she thinks it will excite world opinion, but adds: "Just for the sake of putting a woman in space 1 wouldn't urge it right now. I don't think we should try to emu late the Russians right away." She adds that "the venture will have a favorable effect on Presi dent Kennedy's space budget re quests. We have a lot of people who can't stand to see the Rus sians get ahead of us. Maybe that will make them willing to spend more money." At Cape Canaveral, the MEN joked about her exploit, with vari ations on the usual w heezes about women drivers. (As a matter of fact, women are GOOD drivers. Few of them, lor example, are at the wheels of the cars that do the wrong things and thus get a lot of people needlessly killed.) in Frankfurt, Germany, seam stress Emma Groth, age 62, says: "Valentina has shown that women can do anything a man can do. She has proved that we women also have the stulf that courage is made of." Hmmmmmmmmm. How about our Annie Oakley, in "Annie, Get Your Gun?" Her war cry, aimed.at Frank Butler, was: "Anything he can do, I can do better." Do you reckon that's tlie way Valentina Tereshkova feels about it? If so, Russian women are coming to the front in a hurry. Interesting question: What's Valentina really like? Helen of Troy "the face that launched a thousand ships The Amazons who burned off their right breasts in order to be better able In aim a bow? No-o-o-o-o-o. I think she's maybe a part of this newer world ol ours . . . ine business world ... in which wom en are indispensable. Ask any business tycoon i jr just the boss of any modern, fairly big business office. He'll tell you that business in these days just couldn't be run without wom en. Maybe this fantastic world of outer space tliat intrigues us so greatly (hat we're spending our selves poor to find out about it can't be run without women.

The Democratic and Republican leaders conferred with tire Chief Executive to seek a basis for agreement on key controversial points of the program. Senate GOP Leader Everett Dirksen.

Dimpled Russian Girl In Orbit May Rendezvous With Spaceman MOSCOW (UPD-Russia's fifth cosmonaut and the world's first cosmonette, a dimpled single girl who wore lipstick into space, rode coniidently in their twin orbits to day on a scientific mission that may attempt a cosmic rendez vous. Moscow Radio said the space couple, Lt. Col. Valery F. Bykov sky, 28, and Valentina Tereshko- va, 26, slept well in their respec tive capsules and began the day with calesthenics. The radio said both were in "top shape." While it generally was believed that 'Bykovsky and Miss Teresh kova would try a link-up of their ehicles in space, there was no official, information on such s plan, v Miss Tereshkova, a brown haired parachutist who insisted on wearing make-up on her historic mission, was fired into orbit Sun day aboard the Vostok VI and passed in "direct vicinity" of By kovsky's Vostok V, which was launched Friday. Women Were Delighted The cosmonette's feat set oft a wave of delighted female reaction across the world at the new champion of women. Soviet Pre mier Nikita S. hhrushchev ra England's Macmillan Faces Test LONDON (UPD Prime Minis ter Harold Macmillan went into the most important parliamentary test of his career today, favored to Win. out .over jvjc spread op position on his handling of Die Profumo scandal. Virtually all political observers and newspapers agreed the Con servative party leader had suffi cient support for a House of Com mons vote of confidence that would save his government from collapse. The 69-year-old "Unflappable Mac" himself was reported confi dent of victory on what the Daily Herald called "the day of reckon ing." Macmillan's political career was at stake as well as the tone of the Atlantic alliance. To a large extent the outcome rested on Macmillan's speech declaring he i acted w ith the utmost honor and integrity in the affair. The Laborilcs said they would concentrate on the security consid erations rather than the moral as pects of the scandal. The prime minister's cabinet i ministers, despite earlier reports I of a possible revolt, pledged their support, and Macmillan s lieuten ants spent the weekend and this morning muffling the party s rank and file and members of parlia ment. The scandal which brought on the crucial debate started U days ago when War Minister John Pro fumo. 48, resigned after admitting he lied in Commons about his relationship with red-haired Chris-! tine heeler, a 21-year-old party girl. Profumo told tlie House March 22 there was nothing improper about his friendship with Miss Keeler, but it turned out he was having an illicit love affair with her. Tlie Profumo affair took on se- curity implications when it was; disclosed that Miss Keeler also was the mistress of Soviet assist-l ant naval attache Eugene Ivanov during the time he and Profumo, a married man. were meeting. This disclosure led to demands by the opposition Labor party for the Commons debate. Most political observers felt a vote of confidence would he only a temporary respite for Macmil lan and that he would have to step down under party and publicidav (hat ' wl a mass icondition issued Sunday by tlie pressures some time this summer, j jy u,night to decide whether to jthree doctor, treating him said The Laboritcs charged that Mac-; h0ir new demonstrations in dc-1 thai while Hoover remained in millan was either negligent or i jance of a National Guard order, j very serious condition, he "is in naive in failing to recognize thej Mrs. Glorida Richardson, head Inn pain and resting quietly." seriousness ol the situation creat-;f ,jle Cambridge committee fori The doctors said there had been ed by the rYoluiim(cler-lvanov jnon-violent action, bitterly cnt- "no evidence" of further intesli love triangle. icued city leaders (or breaking nal bleeding within the .Ifi-hour The whole affair set off a wave'off negotiaiions over Negro gricv-1 period preceding the bulletin but of public indignation at the moral ances on Sunday. that Hoover's heart action was aspects.

Soon alter she went aloft Sun day the cosmonette chatted with Bykovsky, a married man and jet pilot, by radio. She laughed and smiled as her picture was flashed back to earth on television, and happily accepted Khrushchev's congratulations. What plans Soviet scientists had for the space couple were kept secret for the time being. Miss Tereshkova's code name is "Sea gull" and Bykovsky's is "Hawk." Second Group Flight This was the second "group flight" that presumably will test new rendezvous techniques in space. The first wa.. accomplished last August by Maj. Andrian G. Nikolayev and Lt. Col. Pavel Popovich, whose Vostoks III and IV came within about four miles of each other. A direct link-up of two ships in space would be the first step to ward the creation of a staging platform for longer voyages to the moon and the planets. Both Valentina and Bykovsky said they were a "close distance" from each other. But they gave no indication whether they were within sight or as close as the four miles that at one point sep arated Nikolayev and Popovich. Miss Tereshkova's spacecraft was flying at 17.400 miles an hour, taking her round the earth once' every 85 minutes. Moscow Radio said Miss Teresh kova's orbit carried her 144.8 miles from the earth at its high est point and 113.7 miles at its lowest at an angle of about 65 degrees to the Equator. Farther Into Space This made her voyage about two-thirds of a mile farther -int'i space and two-thirds of a mile closer to the earth than Bykov sky's. Lack of information could mean the launchings, highly complex procedures, did not have the ac curacy of those in which Nikola yev and Popovich were placed in to twin orbits, observers said. The official government news paper Izvestia ana tne ouiciai Communist party newspaper Prav- da both were filled today witn ex tensive accounts of the launching of Vostok VI with the cosmonette aboard. Bykovsky may be headed to ward a possible eight-flay flight. He already has taken dead-aim on Nikolaycv's (H-orbit stint last August.

The court's opinion was de livered by Justice Tom C. Clark. The vole was 8 to 1 with Justice Potter Stewart dissenting. Clark declared: lhe place of religion in our society is an ex alted one, achieved through a long tradition of reliance on the home, the church and the in violable citadel of the individual heart and mind. We have come to recognize through bitter experience that it is not within the power of gov ernment to invade that citadel, whether its purpose or effect be to aid or oppose, to advance or retard."

The petition was filed hy J. Francyl Howard, who listed him self as president of the Citizens C o m m i 1 1 e e for Economy and Equitable Taxation. Elections Supervisor Jack Thompson of the Secretary of State's Office said the petition was in proper order. The tax increase measure has not yet been signed by Gov. Mark Hatfield. Thompson said he would hold the petition in his office until the tax increase became law, either with the governor's signature, or on June 26. Howard said he felt "the peo-! pie should have a chance to vole on this." If he secures 23,186 signatures on the referral petition, the lax increase will be voted upon at a special election to be held Oct. 15. The legislature set aside $300,000 and the October dale lor a i-eler-ral election in case voters ob jected to the tax hike. Howard said he had an alter nate revenue proposal, but would not outline it today. Howard also declined to say who else was involved in the Cit izens Committee for Economy and Equitable Taxation.

Clark said tlus neutrality is "clearly and concisely stated in the words of the First Amend ment." The First Amendment says, "Congress shall make no law re specting an establishment of re ligion or prohibiting the free ex ercise thereof." The same prohi bition is applied to the states by Lawmakers Rap Ruling On Religion WASHINGTON (UPD - Con gress reacted sharply today to the Supreme Court ruling outlawing Bitiie reading and use of the lxnd's Prayer in public schools. There was some talk of a pos sible constitutional amendment to preserve tlie practice. Sen. George D. Aiken, R-Vt., said that "if it illegal to quote the Bible or read the Lord's Pray er in public schools it's illegal in Congress, too. Aiken said tlie de cision can be changed only by a constitutional amendment. Senale Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, Mont, said only "the Supreme Court has its function we have ours." Asked if tlie Senate would drop its opening prayer, he replied quickly: "No, sir!" Son. Frank Carlson. R-Kan., who heads the International Christian Leadership movement, aaid: "Prayer and religious service is fundamental in the nation's his- lory and I regret to see a decision that in any way lessens the need for sound principles that are so basic. Strike Still Unsettled PORTLAND i UPD - Federal mediators reported no progress toward ending the Northwest lum ber strike today, although there were no indications it would spread beyond the 19,000 workers now idled. Mediator George Walker said he had made no progress toward bringing tho International Wood workers of America (IWA) or tlie Lumber and Saw mill Workers Un ion lUSWl together with repre sentatives of tlie "Big Six" of the Northwest wood products indus try- r he unions are on strike against St. Regis Paper Co. and U.

Both unions have filed charges of unfair labor practices. the 14th Amendment under pre vious Supreme Court decision The court cited both amend ments last year In ruling out use New York schools of a 22- word non - denominational slate written prayer. That opinion also was 8 to 1 with Stewart dissenting. The Lord s Prayer case was brought by a Baltimore mother, Mrs. Madalyn E. Murray, and her son, William J. Murray HI, both atheists. They challenged a 1905 rule of the board of school com missioners requiring reading the Bible and - or recitation of tho Lord's Prayer without comment every morning. The Maryland Court o: Appeals upheld the practice on April 6, 1962, by a 4 to 3 vote. The Pennsylvania case was ini tiated by a Unitarian couple, Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Schempp, who have two children in Abing ton High School. A 1913 state law requires that 10 verses of tlie Bible be read without comment at the opening of each school day a practice dating back to colon ial times. The program is carried on by means of a loudspeaker by the students in tne school s television workshop. The court was told that the school buys the King James verion of the Bible but that the pupils normally read their own tlie revised version, Douay and others. According to custom, the Lord's Prayer follows, although tlie law docs not mention it. A special three-judge federal court in Philadelphia ruled the ex ercises unconstitutional on Feb. 1, 1962, as a violation of the First Amendment. . . . Stewart, in a blislorins dissent. accused his colleagues of tramp ling on the First Amendment's uua,rantM -' "tf freedom " " " T" , m.!a a on an "We err. . .if we do not recog nize, as a matter of history and as a matter of the imperatives of our free society, that religion and government must necessarily in teract in countless ways," Stew art said. Stewart charged that today's ruling actually interferes with the religious freedom of parents "who want their children exposed to religious influences" in school. For a compulsory state educa tional system so structures a child's life that if religious exer cises arc held to be an impermis sable activity in schools, religion is placed at an artificial and state-created disadvantage," ho said. Stewart continued: "Viewed in this light, permission of such ex ercises for those who want them necessary if the schools are truly to be neutral in the matter of religion. And a refusal to per mit religious exercises thus is seen, not as the realization of state neutrality, but rather as the es tablishment of a religion of secu larism, or at tho least, as gov ernment support of the beliefs of those who think that religious ex ercises should be conducted only In private."
