1NSKEEP The attempted recall of Sheriff James Clark is meeting with even stronger opposition than anticipated, but not because he has increased in popularity. A Republican, Clark has been in office for- almost one year. In that time he Jjas received an unusual amount of criticism, mostly based on his own lack of experience and the fact that too many of his deputies lack training. Considering the' fact that Clark Is a Republican officeholder among many Democrats, it logically could be expected the attempt to recall him would have general support around the court house. Such is not the case.

Most other officeholders questioned by the writer said they would vote against Clark in next year's regular county election, but would neither sign the recall petitions nor vote for his ouster in a special election called for that purpose. This attitude may stem in part from the fear of setting precedent that might be used against the Democratic or other Republican incumbents in the future, but it generally is a reflection of distaste for ousting anyone during the term for which he was elected.

Malinovsky the man who succeeded Zhukov as de Housewife, 53, Found Beaten To Death Mrs. Renee Moses, Mother Of Three, it Deputies Holding Husband For Questioning By BOB THOMAS A Tucson housewife mother of three was found beaten to death yesterday.

Sheriff's deputies are holding her husband for questioning in Pima County's 25th murder since the first of the year. The murder rate now stands at one every liy2 days. Clark'i ouster is being sought by a group of former deputies who are displeased with their treat ment. They do not, however, accuse him of malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance. i Present indications are that promoters of the recall will be un able to get the signatures necessary to force an election.

Chosen to oppose Clark in the election if it ever is called is Dave Putney, a retired Tucson police sergeant. An Increase from S3 to 78 in the number of Pima County voting precincts has presented an imme diate, although not serious, organizational problem for both political parties. The new precincts carved out of the larger old ones obviously are not represented by party committeemen at this time. It thus will be necessary to arrange for unofficial representation pending more permanent organization. With this in mind, the County Democratic Central Committee's executive committee has arranged for a meeting at 8 p.m.

Friday, in the Santa Rita Hotel, to which one person from each precinct has been invited. Irving Kipnis, in charge of the program, said it is planned to set up a hard-working corps of 78 (Continued on Page 9A, Col. 4) Arizona Flood Tears Child Out Of Mother's Arms COTTONWOOD, Nov. 3 (if) The small son of a Phoenix radio and television announcer was swept from his mother's arms and presumably drowned Sunday after their car overturned in a wash six miles south of Cottonwood.

3 UTh-A new American car drew more attention on Moscow's Gorky St. Sunday than Sputnik II. The car was parked and about 20 Russians gathered around it for a half hour before it drove off. Few Russians in downtown Moscow had even heard that Sputnik II had been launched. The announcement came too late for the Sunday newspapers, But one Russian worker, dressed in ill-fitting clothes, told a western newsman he had heard the anouncement.

Throwing out his chest, he said: "If we can send a half ton of complicated machinery up to the moon we can do anything. You will never catch up with us now." Nikita Hurls ICBM Blast At West LONDON, Nov. 3 HV-Moscow Radio broadcast a warning by Nikita Khrushchev Sunday that Western military bases ringing the Soviet Union have been outdated by Russia's intercontinental missiles. But he said he did not think there was imminent danger of war. The broadcast said the Soviet Communist party boss sounded the warning in a recent exchange with Peter Dempson of the Toronto Telegram.

Dempson, chief of the Telegram's Ottawa bureau, made the contact through the Soviet embassy in Ottawa. "Khrushchev noted that mili tary bases on the territories of other countries no longer had the significance that some overboast ful generals and other aggressive-minded politicians had ascribed te them," the broadcast said. by the president of the Canine Welfare Mrs. Leong Soh. Britain's League Against Cruel Sports, which usually concentrates on such activities as fox hunting and bull fighting, joined in the protests.

It issued a statement appealing to humane people everywhere "to express horror, disgust and contempt for the Russian fiends." British television stations carried man-in-the-street interviews with shocked dog lovers. Some suggested a human volunteer could have been found and sent instead of the dog. roclet circling the globe, (AP Wirephoto) the GORDON FRANK MOSES Questioned in Slaying two taverns after his release from ail. He discovered his wife's body upon returning home, he said. "I felt her feet and they were cold so I 'knew she was dead." he said.

Moses said he went over to his wife's married daughter's home nearby and called a doctor. The doctor, he said, refused to come out, so he called the highway patrol, which in turn notified the sheriff's department. He said he and his wife were married in August in Nogales, Sonora. Mrs. Moses was the mother of three children two boys, 6 and 8 years of age and a arried daughter.

The boys are in the care of her daughter, Mrs. Bonnie Jean Charles, 36, of 6241 Euclid. Deputy Guy Hill said that Moses was very nonchalant about his wife's death. "He was whistling and very calm," Hill said. At the same time, Deputy Hill said, Mrs.

Moses' son-in-law, Wil liam F. Charles, 52, was "in hysterics." World's Animal vH" the female dog named Curly the world's first space traveler was taking the trip quietly and "Preliminary data show that the animal behaved calmly during the first hours of flight," the Moscow radio said, "and its general condition was satisfactory." A top Soviet scientist hinted the dog eventually would be parachuted back to earh alive. The canine space pioneer Is a Laika, a Russian breed resembling the spitz or pomeranian. The breed, with pointed noses and thick fluffy hair, is related to Siberian huskies but smaller. Sputnik II was taking 103.7 minutes for each circuit of the globe.

Data disclosed by the Russians indicated it was blasted into space by a powerful new ballistic missile at about 7:38 a.m. (9:38 p.m. Saturday Tucson time). The Russians also maUe it plain Sputnik II is not a ball like its predecessor, but the "last 'stage of the carrier rocket, housing containers with scientific instru ments." First announcements said the satellite was in an orbit 923 miles from the earth's surface, but a later announcement said the maxi mum distance amounted to 1,056 miles. Listening posts around the world began hearing the staccato beeps from the hew satellite shortly after the first announcement.

It came as a signal to the world that Soviet scientists had made another seven-league stride toward con quest of mysterious outer space. Curly Kudryavka in Russian- was clamped inside an air condi tioned container in what the So viet announcement described as the third stage of the powerful rocket that shot the satellite into space. Instruments attached to Curly's body were sending back reports that will tell whether man can live in a space craft. Sputnik II weighs 1,120.29 pounds and was ripping along at a speed of 17,840 miles an hour. Sputnik launched on Oct.

4, weighed 184 pounds and started circling the globe every 96.2 minutes, 560 miles out. Prof. Boris V. Ukarkin, deputy chairman of the Astronomical Council of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, said Sputnik II will be easier to see even though it is higher up than Sputnik I. He said its larger size would make up for the greater distance from the earth.

He added it would be pos sible to see the satellite "for periods ranging from 7 to 12 min utes." Sputnik I has been viewed from 5 to 6 minutes. The absence of descriptive details on the new satellite raised speculation here that it may be different in shape than the smaller Sputnik I. Soviet scentists have announced only the weight of the new satellite and it is believed that rather than begin a sphere the new earth moon may be rocket-shaped. One of Russia's leading scientists, A. A.

Blagonravov said in a Moscow radio broadcast that the dog in Sputnik II is an experienced rocket traveler. He hinted the new satellite con tained a device which may eventually eject the space-suited dog and parachute it back to earth. Blagonravov gave the impression there was some arrangement for assuring the dog's safety and life. He said the dog was being fed artificially and carries attached to its body instruments to record and transmit by radio its breath- mswmmm. aDurnik i Silent Over Tucson At least two Tucsonans at tempted to pick up signals from Russia's second earth satellite- the 'Pupnik" last night, but they weren't able to locate a beep, hiss, or even a faint bark.

Both Lester HeitUnger, Veterans Administration Hospital, and Rev. George Whitney, 4701 S. 13th pastor of the Unitarian Church of Tucson, reported that they had met with na success up to iM p.m. yesterday. The Pupnik, although nearly twice as high as the Sputnik, transmits Its signals at the same frequencies es the earlier satellite 20.005 megacycles and 40.001 megacycles.

The Russians have claimed dogs have made a number of flights in rockets reaching heights of more than 130 miles and hava been parachuted back to earth. Satellite Sidebars WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (aV-Pres dent Eisenhower was kept informed Sunday of Russia's newest satellite but there was no indication of any stepped-up activity at the White House.

The President was informed ol Sputnik II by telephone in his living quarters during the morning, Anne Wheaton, assistant White House press secretary reported. LONDON British newspapers Sunday gave the new Soviet dog-carrying satellite a variety of names ranging from pupnik to novosputnik (new). Here were some other tags: Flying Doghouse, Celestial Kennel, Dog Star and "Curly's Comet" for the English name of the dog (Udryavka). Curly herself was called Hound of Heaven, Space Dog, and Dog in the Moon. WARREN, R.I.-C.

Newton Kraus, Warren radio ham who has been tracking Russia's satellites, got a new signal Sunday on the 20.005 megacycles frequency being used by the artificial moon carrying a dog. The sudden succession of dots and dashes in Morse Code lasted only a split secoind. They spelled "bow wow." TIJUANA, Mexico One of six bulls which were killed in the bullring by three matadors Sunday was named Sputnik.

The party's central committee found Zhukov guilty of trying to controvert this Leninist principle and announced Saturday that he had been expelled from the committee and from the ruling presidium (Politburo). The party secretariat was instructed to find a new job for Zhukov, who Pravda said acknowledged the error of his ways.

The Soviet press announced meetings of political groups within all the major military commands for the purpose of publicly supporting the central committee and backing up charges that Zhukov was a haughty, over-decorated egotist. The Army newspaper, Red Star, said "the army and navy support with deep feelings of satisfaction the decision of the plenum of the central committee." Other military papers joined in similar ex pressions. There was no dissenting voice. Military leaders in the Moscow area joined Communist party representatives in military organizations in lauding Khrushchev's decisions within the central com mittee and In condemning Zhukov. In Leningrad, the commander of the Leningrad district jGen.

M. V. Zakharov repeated at a meeting of military and party leaders ac cusations that Zhukov had been building his own cult of personality within the armed forces. Pre-holiday crowds Jammed downtown streets Sunday but most seemed more interested in shop ping and Sputnik II than in poli tics. There was some discussion of l'affaire Zhukov, but most minds seemed to have been diverted by announcement of the new Soviet moon and concentrating on prepa rations for Thursday's monster celebration of the Bolshevik revo lution's 40th anniversary.

Despite a spectacular rise in the price of eggs, to the equivalent of approximately 18 cents each, shopping was heavy as Muscovites took advantage of a reduction in the price of pork, ducks and geese to fill their larders for the two-day anniversary holiday. Lovers Protest ing the imprisonment of the dog in the artificial moon. In Oslo, the Norwegian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals called a meeting to discuss the space dog. "I do not know what we will do, I don't know what we can do, but this is a bad business," declared the secretary. "Maybe we can prevent it happening again." Singapore canine welfare authorities sent a telegram to Nikita Khrushchev asking that the safe return of the dog to earth be insured.

The telegram was signed Curly's Comet? This is the experimental rocket pack which Russians say has been used to carry small dogs into space. This may be the type of carrier that the world's first space traveler, Curly, is circling the globe in.
