In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Headline Ihis morning:
BROAD SMILES IN MOSCOW.
The story under the headline
goes on to relate that our Aver
eU Harriman and Britain's Lord
Hailsham were smiling at the
close of the second round of tlie
Moscow parley on a formula to
outlaw nuclear weapons tests.
Before the opening of the day's
work, Russia's Valerian Zorin
was asked if he believes the
talks are proceeding satisfactor
ily. The correspondents report
that he replied with a smile:
"In my opinion, YES."
It sounds super-wonderful.
But in the warm glow of good
will that appears to be pervading!
the present meeting in .Moscow.
let's not forget Hamlet's famous
crack to the effect that one may
smile and smile and be a villain
"In a big deal, it always pays
to keep your fingers crossed un
til the papers are all signed.
Britain's Sir Bernard Lovell.
director of the Jodrell Bank Ra
dio Astronomy Observatory, is
just back in England a.'ter a
three week visit to Russia.
He says the Soviet Union is
planning to build an "orbital plat
form." much like a flying hotel
that will operate out in space
It is expected to be completed
within about live years.
The "platform." he says, will
be assembled in space by join
ing together a number of space
ships to form what he calls "a
sort of hotel." He adds that it
will be manned by a number
of astronauts who will slay out
there for soclls of five to six
days. Women, Sir Bernard says,
will almost certainly take part in
the enterprise.
What about us?
Well, a dispatch from Seattle
this morning says:
"Five scientists entered a space
chamber here yesterday for a test
of an integrated life-support sys
tem such as would be needed
on a space station or on a moon
base. They may stay for 30 days,
depending upon what they learn
and how well they hold up.
"The test is being conducted
by the Boeing Company, and is
the first to include all elements of
life support for a 130 man-day
space mission. Crew members
will bathe in a closed - circuit
shower, designed for use under
WEIGHTLESS conditions. It has
a separate water supply which is
filtered and chemically treated
for re-use.
"Special diets of freeze-dried
foods, some in squeeze tubes for
simulated weightless feeding, in
clude such items as shrimp cock
tail, strawberries and peanut but
ter sandwiches."
Question:
Why the squeeze tubes?
Well, out in space, you know,
one is WEIGHTLESS. So, if the
astronauts' food were merely put
on the table and the word given
to come and get it, it would be
likely to float off around the
room.
So it will be put in tubes, en
abling the astronaut to grasp a
tube containing his breakfast, his
lunch or his dinner and eat while
he floats around the space cham
ber. There's always a way, you see,
to get around problems.
How about a bath in the
"closed - circuit" shower? It
would be quite an experience to
f J; a shower while floating
aijind the room with the water
flowing UP from your feet.
This space travel is going to
be SOMETHING when we get
around to it.
NO OTHERS LIKE THEM A brand new innovation in dog training is this act to be
seen at the coming Shrine Polack Brothers Circus in Klamath Palls Aug. 2-3. The Do
berman Pinschers, 10 of them, usually bred for their ability as guard and police dogs,
will be put through their act by Aldo Cristiani who has selected them for their intelli
gence, alertness and gentleness. They will perform drills and mass maneuvers that prior
to this time only ponies have accomplished. This is the only act of Doberman Pin
schers performing anywhere in the world. Tickets for the big circus, largest to come ta
Klamath Falls this year, are on sale at circus headquarters in the Klamath Auditorium.

Rail Crisis
Mediation
Hope Seen
WASHINGTON (L'Pli-A spe
cial fact-finding committee today
began preparation of its report
to President Kennedy on the rail
road work rules dispute. There
were indications of backstage ef
forts, meanwhile, at mediation to
avert a possible nationwide strike.
Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirtz presided as the six - man
board began work on the first
draft of its survey of the issues
and positions of union and man
gement in the rail crisis. The
report is expected to be submit
ted to President Kennedy Friday.
Declines Comment
Wirtz declined comment on re
ports that committee members
were attempting to mediate the
dispute, but informed sources
said such efforts were being
made despite a statement by rail
road management officials that
only congressional action could
avert a strike.
The President has said he will
submit legislation Monday to set
tle the dispute to head off a pos
sible strike that could occur if
the railroads place new work
rules into effect July 29 as
planned. The new rules would
eventually eliminate 55,000 jobs
and include other economy
moves.
The administration's concern
over the seeking a settlement of
the dispute by legislation prob
ably including compulsory arbit
ration was unerlined Tuesday
in a speech by Assistant Labor
Secretary Daniel P. Moynihan be
fore the Switchmen's Union con
vention at Buffalo, N.Y.
"Still Time"
"There is still time to make
collective bargaining work in the
railroad industry," Moynihan
said. - "
With each passing hour our
hopes become more concentrated
that both management and labor
will see that the alternative to a
voluntary decision will be an im
posed decision and that would
be a terrible thing," he said.
It would result in a blow to
pride, a loss of liberty, a failure
all around."
Copies of the fact-finding com
mittee's report will be submitted
to both labor and management
leaders tonight for their com
ments, a Labor Department
spokesman said. The document,
summarizing and highlighting the
facts in the case, will be polished
Thursday before going to the
President.
The railroad executives issued
statement Tuesday saying the
only way a strike could be avert
ed by the end of the month was
for Congress to dictate the steps
for settlement of the controversy.
They said legislation was "the
only remaining means we can see
of heading off a calamitous na
tionwide rail strike."
There was no reaction at the
White House to the management
statement, but officials did point
out that the President had made
it clear that he would not ask
for another time extension beyond
Julv 29.

Partial Test Ban
MOSCOW (UPI) - The United
States, Britain and Russia
stepped up the pace of nuclear
negotiations today, with early op
timism tempered by fears that
Soviet calls for an East-West non
aggression pact might hinder
progress toward a nuclear test
ban.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko, U.S. Undersecretary of
State W. Averell Harriman and
Britain's Lord Hailsham met this
afternoon in the third straight day
of negotiations amid reports they
were moving in the direction of
at least a partial nuclear test
ban.-- " "" i
Gromyko was giving a dinner
for the chief American t.id Brit
ish negotiators tonight following
the regular afternoon session m
the Siridonovka Palace. It was
the first announced evening gath
ering of the three-power dele
gates. .
Caution Against Optimism
Although the initial meetings
have been surrounded by a cor
diality unprecedented in recent
cold war history, Western sour
ces cautioned against undue op
timism" that the talks would
achieve a break-through in the
two possible stumbling blocks:
The danger that the Soviets
might try to link a nuclear test
agreement with their repeated
call for a non-aggression pact be
tween NATO and the Communist
Warsaw Pact nations.
The possibility that the Rus
sians might insist on an unpoliced
moratorium on underground test
ing to accompany a ban on other
forms of nuclear tests. The So
viets have steadfastly refused to
agree to Western demands that
a minimum of seven on-site in
spections a year be held to police
an underground ban.
Diplomats here said the opti
mism felt about the talks was
without precedent in recent cold
war history. Western sources said
there was "no reason to change

Dollar Lure
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
government today opened an in
tensified campaign to reduce the
balance of payments deficit by
luring dollars away from more
attractive investment markets out
side U.S. borders.
It set off a chain reaction of
economic forces expected to push
up U.S. short-term interest rates
slightly to make them more com
petitive with those of foreign
banks.
The White House announced on
Tuesday that President Kennedy
would give Congress Thursday a
progress report on the U.S. bal
ance of payments problem which
is a source of growing apprehen
sion both here and abroad.
Kennedy is not expected to pre
scribe new, untried medicine. In
stead, it is believed that he will
recommend adhering to the pres
ent policy, only with renewed
efforts.
The United States ended 1962
with a $2.2 billion balance of pay
ments deficit. This shot up to an
estimated annual rate of $3.3 bil
lion during the first three months
of this year.
The payments gap the difler-
ence between dollars spent by
U.S. citizens abroad and those that
foreigners spend here has been
serious enough in recent years to
cause a sizable erosion of U.S.
gold stocks.

KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON,
Possible
deadlock was in vivid contrast to
the widening split in the ranks of
the Communist world. The friend
liness and joking between Gro
myko and Premier Nikita Khrush
chev and the Western delegates
made tlie Soviet snubs to Com
munist China appear even strong
er. Khrushchev has gone out of his
way. to avoid the Chinese delega
tion here for ideological talks.
The Soviet press, which reports
the nuclear negotiations in re
strained language, prints columns
of attacks on the Chinese.
Western sources warned, how-
ever, that f'undue outimism"
should be avoided in assessing the
chances of the nuc ear ta ks. This
was an apparent reference to two
possible obstacles faced by the
West in its efforts to achieve a
complete test ban.
Underground tests require on-
site inspections to ensure they
are not confused with other seis
mic disturbances, in the Western
view, and the Soviets have re
fused to agree to the minimum
figure of seven inspections a year
the West considers necessary.
. Concern Over Policing
There was apprehension that
the Soviets would insist on an un
policed moratorium on under
ground testing to accompany the
ban on the other forms of test
ing. The other possible obstacle may
be a Soviet attempt to link the
testing agreement with a non-aggression
pact between NATO and
the Warsaw treaty powers. Hail
sham and Harriman have no au
thority to conclude such an agree
ment, which requires NATO ap
proval. The West has rejected such
suggestions in the past, contend
ing that a non-aggression pact at
this stage would have only propa
ganda value and not olfer real
guarantees.

Members of two lumber unions
struck Georgia-Pacific Corp. oper
ations at Coos Bay and Coquille,
Ore., and Samoa, Calif., today,
raising the number of workers
idle in four western states to
about 24.700.
The only hopeful note in the
lumber industry dispute today
was the announcement that Simp
son Timber Co. officials and those
of the unions plan to meet again.
Negotiators for the Lumber and
Sawmill Workers (LSW) and the
International Woodworkers of
America (IWA) talked to repre
sentatives of the company Tues
day in Portland. Company labor
relations administrator James W.
Farmer said "sufficient progress
was made to merit another
meeting. He did not elaborate.
The IWA set up pickets at
Georgia-Pacific's plywood and
hardboard plants at Coos Bay this
morning, idling about 600 men.
Another 450 were affected when
two plywood plants and a stud
mill were struck at Coquille. j
A company spokesman said thei
Coos Bay chemical plant, whose
workers arc represented by an
other union, was operating today.
The strike at G-P's big Samoa
complex in the Eureka area start
ed at midnight when a redwood
lumber mill and a plywood mill
were struck. Some woods crews
joined the strike this morning, but
independent logging contractors in
the redwood forests kept working.
The strike in the Northern Cali
fornia operation affected about
1,200 men, a company spokesman
said.
The two unions closed Georgia
Pacific operations at Springfield
and Toledo, Ore., Monday and
Tuesday.
Still in operation are plants at
Olympia, Wash.; Feather Falls
and Woodlcaf, Calif.: Pilot Rock
Ore., and some woods operations
at loieao.
The dispute centers over wages
and other provisions of a new
contract to replace one which ex
pired June 1.
