U.S. Awaits
Soviet Reaction
Oil the Sky Spy
By J. M. Roberts
Associated Press News Analyst
The United States has sent its
first Sky Spy over the Soviet
Union since the Soviets show
down on the U-2 reconnaissance
plane a year ago, and now is
awaiting Soviet reaction.
Midas III orbits through space
above the Soviet earth with a
purely defensive mission — to
detect any rocket launchings
that might mean that a new’ war
is being started.
At present it has no offen
sive capabilities, aside from the !
potential bomb-carrying capa
bility of any space satellite.
Even more on the peaceful j
side is the present equipment of
the other new satellite passing
over the Soviet Union—Tiros
III, equipped only w’ith tele
vision cameras and the ability to
report atmospheric conditions for
I advance tips on the weather. j
But a similar satellite could
also carry cameras designed to
spy on Soviet territory for mili
tary activities and map it against |
a possible day of retaliation
against Soviet attack.
With their functions only
slightly altered and combined !'
into one satellite, the instru- j,
ments of these two experiments 1 \
would then be capable of doing
almost exactly what U-2 was
doing.
It will be interesting to watch !
how Soviet newspapers handle j
the story of the experiments, if j
they handle it at all, and what
the Soviet leaders have to say,
if they say anything at all.
There are no precedents in in- j
ternational law for the use by !
one country of the space over j
another for either scientific or
military purposes. There has
been general acceptance of na- j
tional controls of such things as
commercial flying.
Trainman Mystified at
Hitting Wife’s Auto
At Railroad Crossing
ROANOKE, Va. W — Ernest
O. Howard expects to climb back
into the cab of his locomotive
next week, still mystified why his
wife apparently drove her car
in front of his speeding train.
“It’s a mystery to me. I act- ;
ually don’t know why she picked i
my train,” said fireman-engineer
I Howard after his release from
a hospital.
No clue to the puzzle comes
from Mrs. Howard, 39, who knew
her husband was at the throttle
of the train. She has remained
unconscious since the July 5
crash.
Police hold a note said to have
been written by Mrs. Howard
before the crash, but have so far
refused to talk about it.
Salem Police Chief George
Eades said only that it appeared
the collision may not have been
an accident. No charges are being
planned at this time.
Just out of the hospital, where
he was treated for shock, How
ard said, “she was despondent
over ill health for a period of
years. “She was highly nervous.”
He has not seen his wife since
getting out of the hospital, but
she is attended by nurses and
relatives.

Liquor Board
Approves Ten
New Regulations
JUNEAU iJP> — The Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board Wednes
day turned down a proposed new
regulation which would have re
quired bartenders to obtain a $5
permit.
The proposed regulation was
the subject of bitter criticism by
representatives of the Bartenders’
Union at a recent ABC hearing
on 11 proposed new regulations,
most of them minor.
The board turned down one of
the other 10 regulations and ap
proved nine.
The second one turned down
would have provided for the cre
ation of a new class of liquor
licenses, for hotels and motels
located within the corporate limits
of municipalities and having a
minimum of 25 rooms.
In explaining why the board
turned down the controversial I
regulation dealing with bartend- j
ers, ABC chairman Bill Ray said:
“The board felt that the ma
terial submitted to it was so even
ly divided that the board couldn’t,
in good conscience, adopt the regu
lation.”
Under the provisions of the
proposed regulation, all persons
handling intoxicating liquor would
lave had to obtained a permit.
Permits would have been issued
inly to U. S. citizens 21 years of
igq or older and of “good moral
character.”
Permit holders charged with
/iolation of the state’s liquor laws
would face suspension of their
lermit for 10-45 days on the first
violation.
A second violation in any five
year period would have brought
a 30 to 90 day suspension and a
third offense in any five-year
period would have brought pos
sible revocation of the permit.
One major regulation adopted
by the board provides for the
issuance of special events permits.
The holder of such permits
would have the right to sell beer
at retail for consumption on desig
nated premises for a specific oc
casion and a limited period of
time.
Only non-profit fraternal, civic
or patriotic organizations incor
porated and active for a period
of two or more years would be
eligible for the special events
permits and all profits would be
required to go to the organization
itself.
The board also adopted a new
regulation which prohibits a per
sons from receiving or transfer
ring controlling interest in a
liquor license issued to a cor
poration, without the express
consent of the ABC.

UAW Wants GM to Take
Over Full Cost of Insurance
DETROIT UFi — The United
Auto Workers Union demanded
Wednesday that General Motors
Corp. take over the full cost of
health care insurance for 310,000
UAW members in GM plants.
The union also asked that the
company place 34,000 retired
hourly workers and their de
pendents under the program.
Workers pay the full cost of medi
cal care insurance upon retire
ment. The company and employes
share the cost on a 50-50 basis
during active employment.
Similar demands to expand the
health care programs will be
made by the UAW on Ford,
Chrysler and American Motors in
current labor contract negotia
tions.
In negotiations at Ford Tues
day the union bargaining team de
manded a higher level of pen
sion benefits coupled with option
al early retirement at age 60.
Wrong License Plate . . .
SCHENECTADY, N. Y. (/PI —
A city employe was summoned
before officials Tuesday to ex
plain why a city automobile as
signed to him had been seen in
Maryland over the weekend.
The employe had been on va- I
cation. But he swore that the city
car had been parked at his house
all weekend.
The weight of evidence seemed
against him. For State Police at
North East, Md., had sent a tele- |
typed inquiry concerning a license
number that matched the one on
the city car.
The Schenectady Gazette
solved the puzzle by telephoning
the Maryland police. The license
in question was on a boat trailer
—a fact that had been lost in
relay of the query.
Pakistan President and
Kennedy Wind Up Talks
WASHINGTON UP) — Pakistan
President Ayub Khan and Presi
dent Kennedy held their third and.
final conference yesterday. Kash
mir, Pakistan’s relations with
India, and other problems were
reported to figure in the talks.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
met the Pakistan leader at the
entrance to the White House and
escorted him to Kennedy’s oval
study.
“Both sides are pleased with
the outcome of the talks,” Rusk
told newsmen.
“We have gone around the en
tire world situation,” Rusk said,
“and the problems confronting
the Western Allies have been
thoroughly examined.”
Pakistan officials have made
no secret of their desire that the
United States take a more prom
inent role in inducing India to
meet with Pakistan at a confer
ence table to arrange a settle
ment of the Kashmir dispute.
In winding up the talks Ayub
invited Kenendy to “a bit of duck
shooting” in Pakistan’s cold
weather season.
Asked if he would go to Pakis
tan next winter, Kennedy said “I
just got the invitation—I hope to
go sometime.”

mortality. For example, the seeds
of the lotus lily have germinated
and grown after being buried a
thousand years.
