state Olytnpia Clallam Buy hit by boat shellfire JL. if Canadian anti-aircraft shrapnel showers town SEATTLE (AP) Shells burst over the Olympic Peninsula village of Clallam Bay Monday, and the Navy said they apparently were fired by Canadian Navy ships practicing anti-aircraft gunnery. A spokesman for the 13th Naval District headquarters, in Seattle, said the shelling stopped when the Canadian flag officer for the Pacific, at Esquimault, B. issued a cease-fire order. FIRST REPORT The first report of the shelling came to the Navy from the Coast Guard at Port Angeles.

Po 1. C. Willis Miller, in charge of the lighthouse at Slip Point, near "More mod, peeved than scared' The Rev. John Thompson, Clallam Bay Presbyterian Church, called the PAEN office to clarify his on-the-spot version of the shelling of Clallam Bay yesterday. Rev.

Thompson was at the school to discuss Boy Scout activities with Principal Charles N. McLean about 3:20 p.m. He said there were some ships on the strait at the time engaged in anti-aircraft, practice and a target plane went over the town flying into the sun just before the shell fell. WHILE THOMPSON was in the principal's office, one of the pupils, Gary Fernandes, came in with a two or three pound shell fragment. The boy took Thompson and McLean to the spot where he said the fragment fell, about 100 yards south of the McLean called Port Angeles for information from Coast Guard here and they in turn called Slip Point Light Station for information.

Chief Petty Officer Willis Miller of station went over to Clal- Clallam Bay, said a shell fragment ripped some shingles on the roof of one house, and one lit be-, hind a school. "People are pretty mad," he said. "The shells-landed right in Clallam Bay." SAW SHELLS Many residents of the area saw the shells land, but there were no reports that anyone was hurt. V. Glldden, deputy sheriff at Clallam Bay, said he understood the shells came from a gunboat as it engaged in practice against a target towed by a plane.

Glidden said shrapnel showered the town for 15 to 20 minutes, and most of the shells exploded in the air but at least three "duds" fell. SCHOOL YARD He said the shell fragment which landed in the school yard weighed more than a pound. The piece plummeted to earth five minutes before school was dismissed for the day, he said. The deputy said the house struck by a fragment was that of Mr. and Mrs.

Ray Gossom. He said their daughter, Mrs. John Brow, was inside when the chunk of metal, which weighed about five pounds, ripped the roof. RESIDENTS WARNED Residents of the village were wsrned to leave "duds" alone. A Wavy demolition team was sent to disarm the shells.

The Canadian Navy said the source of the shells had not been confirmed, but four Canadian ighting Saguenay, Skeena, Antigonish and Ste. in the area practicing gunnery. nele Nexus Tuesday, January 80, 196S 8 Tuesday, January 30, 1962 U.S., up some fragments that had fallen and a detonator that was found by Woody's Restaurant. MILLER SAID there didn't appear to be any panic in the town at the time. People were aware the fragments were passing over the town and described them "as sounding like helicopters coming in to land," he said.

They were more "peeved and mad" than scared according to Miller. "Some of the people living on the outskirts of town told me they had heard fragments passing over before, but never in the middle of town like yesterday," said Miller. Miller said he talked to the Navy demolition men who were in the area looking for duds and they told him the shells were standard target shells. Just enough powder to split the casing and make a smoke burst. JOHN MANES of Manes Logging Co.

called the sheriff's office yesterday to report the shelling. He said there were three shells that had landed and were believed unexploded at the time he called. He said one shell had landed behind his business offices, one near Coho Resort and one near the Sam Langner residence at Middle Point. He said the projectiles were located by Floyd Steele of the Slip Point Asks bonds to aid U.N.

The presidential plea has already run into controversy on Capitol Hill and Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana, has promised hearings before any vote is taken. House Speaker John W.

McCormack of Massachusetts predicted, however, that the legislators will approve Kennedy's request. He told newsmen "I feel very confident that Congress will realize the importance of it and will act favorably on it."

GREEN WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy sent to Congress today a reorganization plan to create a new Cabinet-rank department of urban affairs and housing. The fate of the plan is uncertain.

It becomes law in 60 days unless either House of Congress vetoes it, but the measure has become embroiled in racial and partisan controversy. Senate rejection of the plan is considered unlikely but the prospects in the House are uncertain. In a special message to Congress accompanying the plan, Kennedy said: "The times we live in urgently call for this action. We will neglect our cities at our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation;" The nth Cabinet department would contain the several agencies now embraced in the Housing and Home Finance Agency, and Kennedy has announced that HHFAlaT administrator, Robert C. Weaver, would bfecolifie' secretary of the new department-4he first Negro Cabinet officer in history.

Kennedy announced the plan to name Weaver for the new job at a news conference last week and a few hours after the House Rules Committee had rejected by a 9-6 vote a bill to create the department by means.

RYAN 1 PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay United States and its 13 Latin-American supporters backed away today from a demand for an immediate vote by the hemispheric foreign ministers conference to exclude Cuban Prime Minister Fidal Castro's regime from the Organization of American States.

The majority group eased its stand in an effort to break a deadlock over how and when the suspension should take effect. DRAGS ON The conference, which was supposed to end Monday, continued to drag on after hours of fruitless bargaining. As hopes faded for an early adjournment, United States prestige appeared to suffer blow. The 14-nation group met for two hours and named a three-nation committee to draft a compromise amendment to be offered to the six nations holding out for a velvet glove approach. The United States and 13 Latin- American nations backing a tough line against Fidel Castro's government had just the necessary two-thirds majority to carry a formal resolution to oust the Havana government from the OAS councils.

At least that seemed to be the consensus of opinion last night as members of the Advisory Committee for Schools met with the District 21 School Board to take a look at the future, The group took no formal vote. I but questions and comments made at the meeting indicated the committee is 'willing to go along with the board's proposals. IN BRIEF THE problem is this. Because of the unforeseen consolidation with the Dry Creek District last spring, Stevens Junior High School opened this fall almost at capacity. In its early planning, the board had not figured on this development for at least five or six years.

The state's formula for estimating enrollment in Peninsula College this fall did not work out and the college found itself with 218 students instead of the expected 120-140 as indicated by the formula. ENROLLMENT projections at the high school show it will be well above its rated capacity with 1,144 students in 1964. It carries a full load now with its 960 students. Supt. John D.

Glann explained a number of factors have brought about the college situation. Mainly they are the tightening of entrance requirements at tte four- year colleges and universities along with rising costs of sending a student away to school. A PINCH IS occurtog at the high school because of the increased emphasis on academic work. Many students are carrying five subjects in order to snoot for academic honors. lu previous years, the practice was to take four subjects and two study halls.

With 50 many taking more puts a heavier load on The board proposes that a new junior college be built at a separate location. The building vacated by the college would be used to handle the increased load at the high school. ONE OF THE four rooms to be added to Stevens under the proposal would be for hahdicapped children. A number of questions were asked, but mainly those attending wanted to know if it would mean a bond issue and for how much. It would mean another bond issue, but the board indicated a lot more study would be required before any sort of a rough estimate could be made Based on the facilities provided at other new junior colleges in the state, the guess was about a million and a quarter for the college and somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000 for Stev- were Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Ecuador.

Both sides emerged from a closed-door, eight-hour bargaining session early today asserting some progress had been made on the issue threatening a deep split inter-American relations. SKIP DINNER The foreign ministers went without dinner Monday night in an effort to break the impasse. After the session there were hints of compromise in the works. Asked if the meeting produced any progress, U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk said, "I think One conference informant said the United States appeared to be leaning toward what he called the Argentine view that it would be better to have all 20 nations censure Cuba than a majority outlaw it.

TOWARD SOLUTION An Argentine spokesman said Rusk "with infinite patience" seemed to have brought the op- sides toward, a solution cide on excluding Cuba in line with the proposed conference declaration that the Castro regime is incompatible with the inter- American system. The Brazilian-led bloc has agreed with the others on such censure of the Castro regime but contends the present OAS charter does not provide for Cuba's suspension. They want another foreign ministers' meeting convened on the issue after a proper legal foundation has been laid.

Glenn date with the stars Thursday may run into a new delay. But Project Mercury officials pushed ahead anyway on the basis that it is too early to tell for sure. A weather advisory, released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said there were two areas of concern for Thursday's weather picture. CLOUDINESS First there was the possibility of cloudiness over the Cape Canaveral launching on the movement offshore of a high-pressure system to the north. Second is the possibility of rough seas Thursday in the Atlantic east of Bermuda.

TOO EARLY NASA Spokesmen said it was still too early to pinpoint the course of the major weather systems influencing the areas in question. In summary the weather pic- was this: Mostly cloudy skies over the launch area, although his is uncertain, moderate winds and seas. An attempt to launch lenn last Saturday was delayed until Thursday at the earliest because of clouds above the Cape.

Elsewhere, normal showers over equatorial Africa; stormy weather over Australia, south and east of Hawaii and in a few areas of the eastern Pacific. With the countdown for a Thursday date passing the T-minus-48 hours mark, officials could only keep an eye on the weather systems and keep working on the basis of a Thursday shot.

Step up terrorism ALGIERS iargv. est city moved nearer to anarchy today as the right-wing Secret Army Organization stepped up its campaign of terror and intimidation.

Defying French security forces, European terrorists blew up a special police hideout in Algiers Monday, knocked out power and electricity in the tightly guarded administrative compound of Rocher Noir, 30 miles east of the city, and launched a radio appeal to the French army to revolt ARMS THEFTS Late Monday night police iources reported several thefts of arms in the Algiers area. One was a holdup of a truck loaded with submachine-guns, carried out by three men dressed in riot police uniforms. Harassed officials, sheltered be- lind barbed wire and armored cars in Rocher Noir, said they were fighting against heavy odds because the terrorist underground had accomplices on virtually all levels of the administration.

All of these figures were just guesses without even any preliminary studies being made to this tune.

Maj.

Dick Lawson, 35, a career officer serving with the U.N. forces here, told a news conference here Monday he marched alone past 800 Congolese soldiers to rescue a Roman Catholic priest and that later he faced a frenzied mob of villagers who screamed for his death as a spy and invader. RESCUED WORKERS But Lawson rescued five Roman Catholic Church workers and said he arranged for the safe passage of several dozen others from the north Katanga wilds separating mutinous units of the Congolese army and the Katanga gendarmerie. He said there were no more Europeans in north Katanga. Lawson, who grew up in the peaceful English countryside, volunteered to make two one of them north Katanga where 22 white men were slain by Congolese soldiers io a New Year's Day massacre.

He worked his way past the troops to the pillaged town, scene of the massacre, and found one white priest. Lawson brought him back to Leopoldville the following day.
