Kennedy "trying to buy the White House" with unconscionable (flung a harsh, one-sided note of acrimony today into Democratic presidential primary campaign. It was injected by Sen. Wayne Morse, who is battling hard to keep his home state Oregon delegation out of Kennedy's hands at the Democratic National Convention. Kennedy campaigned, blandly on, shrugging off all attacks. The political trails of the two senators crossed today at Eugene, Morse's home town.

After that, it was back to Portland for evening rallies for each, with Kennedy Stopping off en route at Salem, the state capital. Republicans were stirring the Oregon political pot, too. Vice President Richard M. Nixon, unopposed in the Friday election in the Republican preferential primary, was on display Monday night in a filmed television show. "Today," he said, "the vice president la a man who participates in the making of policy in this country.

He represents the nation abroad. He has an opportunity to be the president's right arm." This year, Nixon predicted, more attention will be paid vice presidential candidates than ever before in history. Perhaps the Oregon committee for Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey listened and looked.

It decided to stage a belated campaign for a write-In primary vote for vice president for the man Kennedy knocked out of contention for the presidency in West Virginia. Morse and Kennedy are the only active candidates in the Oregon Democratic presidential primary, although Humphrey's name still'is on the ballot. So are those of Sens. Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas and Stuart Symington of Missouri, but neither has ventured into the campaign.

Over and over, Morse is bearing down on the theme of heavy spending by a rival who is the son of a millionaire. He said Monday night that in Oregon Kennedy is spending hundreds of thousands to his $7,500. Just as often he is complaining that Kennedy is wrecking the Democratic party in Oregon. But Morse said that if the Democrats make the mistake, of nominating Kennedy, "I'll even hold my nose and campaign for him." Kennedy, he said, still would be 10 times better than Democrat would. Kennedy refused to be drawn into any political slugging match with Morse.

The nearest he comes to slashing back at Morse is to keep telling Oregon Democrats not to waste their votes Friday on anyone who isn't a serious candidate and who has no real chance for the nomination.

Brig. Gen. John B. Bestic deputy director of communications and electronics of the Air Force, was asked by newsmen who visited this arctic site whether the three BMEWS stations being built could be improved later. Bestic mentioned the Soviet missile firings into the Pacific early this year at ranges of more than 7,700 miles.

Then he commented that "as time goes by we will have to think about longer range missiles" and how the operation of BMEWS might tie in with other systems such as the reconnaissance satellite Midas. Bsstic did not go into but some factors seemed obvious. The designed range of the BMEWS radars are to make possible detection of missiles as they climb after launching.

Brown of California touched off a partisan dispute among Western governors today with a prediction that the collapse of the Paris summit conference may knock Vice President Richard M.

Nixon out of the presidential race. Brown, a Democrat, declared President Eisenhower lost prestige as the result of a blow-up by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. "Nixon has been so closely associated with the administration," he told newsmen at the Western governor's conference, "that it wouldn't surprise me if the Republicans decided on Gov. Rockefeller as their presidential nominee." Republican Gov. Mark Hatfield of Oregon disagreed sharply that the breakdown of the summit meeting would hurt Nixon.

"If anything it will strengthen his position," he eaid. Hatfield expressed belief that "Khrushchev's tirade shows fear of Nixon." He said the Soviets know that "Nixon won't be taking any soft attitude." RC Man Dies In North Dakota Ditch Cave-In TOLNA. N. D. W) V.

Yet Powers' background is so routine that his friends can scarcely recall an anecdote about him. They do remember that he never was called Frank or any other nickname.

It was always Francis. They recall he was quiet, polite and pleasant, but as for anything special that might point up his personality they just ponder and shake their heads. "Francis was a quiet sort of boy, the kind you enjoyed talkin to, never any trouble," commented John C. Mead, his high school principal in Grundy, Va. "He just wasn't particularly outstanding."

Gates, secretary of defense. Word of Gates' ordr cam from the Pentagon and strengthened belief that the test was linked to the tense atmosphere of the'sum- mit talks.

Gates is in Paris as President Eisenhower's chief military adviser. However, Gates' order came several hours before Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev collapsed the Big Four meeting by denouncing the American US plane incl dent and demanding an apology from Eisenhower. The middle-of-the-night order started a quick check on the availability of key personnel. Many pilots were rushed back to their The Pentagon said Gates' order was general, leaving it up to the Joint Chiefs of Staff to decide which of several possible maneu vers to follow. It was officially described as a "worldwide communications readiness exercise." The order was so secret that the Pentagon's top public information officers knew nothing about it when inquiring newsmen routed them out of bed.

The alert' message was 'sent to command posts throughout the world. It left to local commanders how far they wanted to go in calling men to their stations.

Judge J. Skelly Wright directed public schools in the Louisiana city to desegregate next September. The judge had advised the Orleans Parish School Board to submit a desegregation plan "or I'll have one for you."

Controversies over a record those talks compiled by Robert W. Lishman, counsel of the House subcommittee digging into FPC's affairs, interrupted Stueck's testimony Monday.

Rep. Steven B.

Derounian (RNY) ruffled Lishman's temper by saying the subcommittee attorney had "glossed over" a card file of names collected by Commissioner William R. Connole. Derounian said the list includede a number of industry spokesmen and questioned laudatory refer ences to Connole as a champion of gas consumers. Connole, whom President Eisenhower has refused to reappoinl to a new term, said he was proud to be described as a friend of the consumer. He also said he was never influenced by any outside contacts.

Chairman Oren Harris (D-Ark) said nothing had been glossed over. Lishman later cut short Stueck when the commissioner hesitated over an entry in a staff- prepared summary of his office appointments. Derounian at that point blocked a move to place the summary in the subcommittee record.

Kennedy (D-Mass) was a heavy favorite to pick up Maryland's 24 nominating votes. Even Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore), bis only major opponent, admitted he did not expect to stop Kennedy here. Election officials in Baltimore said the vote was extremely light and at the present rate would amount to less than 30 per cent of the registered voters. Reports from the counties indicated the same indifference.

There is no one entered in the Republican presidential primary race. MOM too also entered in Friday's primary in Oregon, both sides watched the Maryland results for ammunition to use in the West Coast race. "By running up a big vote here, we would get a psychological- lift in Oregon," said Joseph Curnane, executive secretary ol Kennedy headquarters in Baltimore. How bjg a vote? Joseph D.

HIGHTOWER PARIS (AP) Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev insisted today there can be no summit conference unless the United States apologizes and punches those responsible for the U2 flight. "We won't attend a conference a long as the Americans will not give satisfaction," he said. He made his stand three times two informal interview, 1 and in a statsment Issued through the Soviet Embassy.

The United meantime, showed no sign of meeting the Soviet leader's demands by. going beyond President Eisenhower's disclosure Monday that U.S. spy flights over the Soviet Union are discontinued. Khrushchev's formal statement said: I am ready to participate in a meeting with President de Gaulle of France, Prime Minister Macmillan of Great Britain and U. S.

President Eisenhower to exchange vlew.s on whether conditions have materialized to start the summit conference. "If the United States have really come to the decision to condemn the treacherous incursion of American military aircraft into the air space of the Soviet Union, publicly express regrets over these incursions, those who are guilty and give assurance that such incursions will not be repeated in the future, we would be ready on the receipt of such assurance to participate'" in the summit conference." This statement seemed to mean that the Soviet premier was willing to get together with the Western Big Three, but that any such session could deal only with his preliminary demands. His maneuver appeared to be primarily an attempt to shift to Eisenhower the blame for breaking up the summit conference. Eisenhower met with De Gaulle Macmillan this afternoon, and invited Khrushchev to sit with them. met with De Gaulle and Macmillan this afternoon, and De Gaulle invited Khrushchev to nit with them.

The Western leaders adjourned after a two-hour session. Khrushchev scorned De Gaulle's invitation, but 45 minutes later issued his statement putting the issue up to Eisenhower. Eisenhower was stern and unsmiling as he left the Elysee Palace. Macmillan looked grave. Later Sergei Koudravtsey, minister counselor of the Soviet called at Elysee Palace.

The reason was not given but-a Soviet delegation spokesman said Khrushchev might see De Gaulle later in the day. Eisenhower arranged to see De Gaulle tonight. It was announced earlier that Khrushchev would hold a news conference today but this was called off simultaneously with the issue of the Soviet Premier's statement. De Gaulle Issued Ms invitation to today's session at the suggestion of Macmillan.
