Scran ton says he will block any move to draft him as a Republican Presidential candidate. '.' He adds: "We're no longer living in the era where your friends surprise you with a draft." - Note, please, that he doesn't go as far as General William Tecumseh Sherman who, when it was proposed that he be drafted as a Presidential can didate, put it like this: "If nominated, I WON'T RUN. and if elected 1 WON'T SERVE." News note from Berlin: The Russians clamped anoth er squeeze on Berlin's highway lifeline yesterday. For nine hours, they held up a British military convoy on the outskirts of West Berlin, where they blocked a U.S. convoy last week. What's in the wind? Well, the Washington theory is that the Russians just some how got MIXED UP and stopped our convoys by mistake. So They got mixed up again yes terday and stopped a British convoy in the same way. Question: What are they really up to? Here's a guess: They're probing to find out HOW FAR THEY CAN GO and what they can get away with without a fight. From Washington this morn ing: Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, tye. "independent" communist who seeks friendly ties with both East and West, arrives to day for an informal but highly significant visit with President Kennedy. He is due to get the 21-gun salute and other military hon ors when his helicopter sets it self down on the White House lawn. The only exception to the usual formula for foreign rulers is that there w ill be no parade through the city's streets. Disturbing thought: When Rome was mistress of the world, they came from EV ERYWHERE to Rome. They came to get Rome to build their roads. They came to get Rome to help them to defeat their ene mies.. They came to get Rome to settle their quarrels. They came to Rome for food when Ihry were hungry, " Rome was then the dispenser of all good things as the U.S. claims to be in these modern days. What finally came of it? Well, as Gibbon tells us in some 27(10 pages of small print ROME DECLINED AND FELL. Why? The answer is simple. Rome bit off more than she could chew. Do you reckon we might be doing the same thing? No Meeting The joint meeting of Elemen tary. Klamath Union and County school boards scheduled for to msht has been cancelled. The city school administration oflice announced the cancella tion this morning and said the meeting has not been resched uled. No rcawn for the cancella tion was given.

JOHN HOWARD Lost Pilot Originally From Here The Air Force pilot whose su personic jet fighter crashed into tlie ocean off the Washington coast Tuesday night and who is presumed to have been killed is a former Klamath Falls resi dent. The pilot, Capt. John J. How ard Jr., 31. of Portland, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Howard Sr. The elder Howard was an instructor and later an administrator at Oregon Techni cal Institute. The search for Howard was called off today. No sign of the pilot has been found, although debris from the plane and How ard's helmet were found Wed nesday. The crash occurred at 10:31 p m. Tuesday off N e a h Bay, Wash. Howard was a member of the 64th fighter interceptor squad ron at Paine Field, near Ta coma. Flares were seen by two oth er fighter pilots shortly after the crash. 20 miles off the coast. Howard had been at low-level patrol when his F-102 crashed. The missing pilot's father joined OTI in 1948 as an instruc tor in retail business manage ment and tlie next year was ap pointed supervisor of technical education at the institute. He re signed in 1956 and moved to Portland. Howard Jr. was graduated Sacred Heart Academy in 1950. JFK Inks Giant Bill WASHINGTON (ITU Pies dent Kennedy today signed into law the second largest peace time defense spending bill in U.S. history. The measure ap propriates $47.2 billion to keep America's military muscles flexed. The sum was so huge that it would take one person almost no years lo spend it at a rate of ll.ono a minute. The bill provides funds for the weapons and manpower of the armed forces for the cur rent fiscal year which began July 1 and ends next June 30. The defense money bill, larg est to come before Congress earh year, represents nearly half the entire federal budget. The Air Force, as usual, got the lion's share of the total SIM billion. The Navy received $14 3 billion and the Army $12 I billion. Joint defense agencies accounted for the remainder. -v assembly tonight at 7 o'clock at Graham Brothers on Ore gon Avenue.

The announcement was broad cast soon, after Algerian sources in the Moroccan southern capi tal of Marrakech said the talks had ended in deadlock. At the same time, reports from army headquarters at Co lomb Bechar on the edge of the Sahara 500 miles southwest of Algiers said fighting raged for the fourth consecutive day be tween Algerian and Moroccan troops around contested border posts. The radio said the two chief Algerian delegates, M'Hamed Yazid and Major Hoffman Sli mane, were flying home with Algerian Ambassador to Moroc co Saad Dahlab. The announcement quoted Ya- Top-Secret Satellites Sent Aloft CAPE CANAVERAL (UPH Two top-secret U.S. satellites were reported "working per fectly" today as they traveled in orbits toward final stations 60,000 miles high to patrol for clandestine nuclear tests in space. The two 485-)ound satellites rode into the sky one atop the other in the nose of a silvery Atlas-Agena rocket the open ing shot in a tightly guarded, five shot program variously called "Vela Hotel," "Vela High altitude" and simply "Project 82.1." The launching was one of the most deadly accurate ever made by the veteran Atlas Agena, and informed sources said today radio signals from the satellites indicated that both were "working perfect ly." The initial blast by the two stage rocket hurled the moon lets into highly elliptical, or oval shaped, orbits with peak altitudes of about 00,000 miles. The next critical step ahead was to fire small, solid-fueled rocket motors on each satellite, to "kick" it into a nearly cir cular orbit at the 00.000 - mile level and keep it from sliding back toward earth. The first "kick" was to be administered later today. Thief Needs To Be Twins LOS GATOS. Calif.

The statement appeared to in dicate the talks might have broken down completely. The diplomatic developments came as Algerian and Moroc can troops were reported en gaged in their fourth day of fighting for control of the Saha ra outposts of Tinnjoub and Has si Beida. Arsonist Remains At Large MONMOUTH. III. (UPI) -Mayor Allen Walters warned early today that the "mad ar sonist" of Monmouth may strike again. A heavy fog rolled ocross the city after dawn and stale po licemen armed with riot guns patrolled the shrouded streets. Everything was reported quiet. In a midnight briefing Wal ters said this community of 10,000 persons must keep up "a heavy guard" although the (ire bug Wednesday night failed to follow through on threats to set four more fires. "The arsonist may strike as soon as we drop our guard." the mayor cautioned. He said the community would have to remain on guard for a week, two weeks or a month "what ever is deemed necessary." One hundred policemen and 25 to 30 students from Mon mouth College patrolled t h e streets and alleys Wednesday night to prevent a repetition of Monday night's blazes when two lumberyards were leveled and a metal firm was nearly destroyed. A constant drizzle Wednes day and last night may have hampered the firebug too. The "mad arsonist" was last heard from at 7 o'clock Tucs doy night when he called the mayor's wife and said in a calm, unemotional voice, "I am going to say this only once. If Die pottery works are not closed down, there will be four more fires tomorrow night." The Western Stoneware Co., apparently a special target of the "mad arsonist," worked as usual Wednesday.

Kennedy red carpet treatment usually accorded an official state visi tor. A 21-gun salute and other military honors were scheduled when his helicopter sets down on the While House lawn. The only exception to the routine; no parade through the city was planned for Tito. The White House and State Department, fearful of possible refugee demonstrations against the 71-year-old ex-partisan lead er, kept his public appearances to a minimum. Kennedy and Tito were ex pected after an afternoon con ference to issue a communique. The Yugoslav leader has indi cated he will talk with newsmen after the White House meeting. Tito is known to be deeply disturbed by congressional ef forts to force the President lo w ithdraw the "most favored na tion" treatment accorded Yu goslav products under an agreement. He also is sensitive concern ing congressional restrictions denying him any aid except farm surplus. The administration, anxious to keep Tito friendly toward the West, lias to walk a tight rope between irate congressmen and Yugoslav ollicials. Trio Cited For Nerve Cell Study STOCKHOLM (UPI) The 19t3 Nobel prize for medicine was "awarded today to two British researchers and one Australian for their discoveries concerning Ihe oiera(ion of nerve cells.

Sources said earlier that other top contenders (or this year's prize in medicine were Drs. Jonas Sulk of Pittsburgh and Albert Sabin of Cincinnati for the development of tlie anti-polio vaccines which bear their names. Also under con sideration was Professor Hor ace Magoun of the University of California. Tlie Nobel committee said Ecclcs was given tlie award for his research on the fundamen tal transmisa'nn of nervous im pulses. It said that Eccles had established a connection be tween inhibition of nerve cells and the repolarization of the cell's membrane. The committee said Ecclcs thus solved what has lone been one of the main riddles in the physiology of the central nerv ous system.
