In The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
" Mishmash in the news:
In Pennsylvania this morn
ins. Governor W illiam W. 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?

CAPT. 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.

Peace Talks Fail
ALGIERS (UPH - Algerian
Moroccan peace talks have bro

cease-fire agreement and the
Algerian delegation is flying

The announcement was broad

At the same time, reports
from army headquarters at Co

Satellites

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.

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.
