Gov. Norman Erbe and Iowa Adj.

Gen. Junior Miller said they would refuse to comply with the order. The Iowa segment of the Iowa- Nebraska 34th Infantry Division contains three battle groups, each with more than 800 men. The three battle groups in Iowa are: The 1st Battle Group, 168th Infantry, with headquarters at Council Bluffs. It is commanded by Co.

Ed Reynolds of Villisca and has 889 officers and men. The 1st Battle Group, 133rd Infantry, headquartered at Waterloo. It is commanded by Lt. Col. Robert Gramrath of Fairfield and has 993 officers and men.

The 2nd Battle Group, 133rd In- fantry, headquartered at Sioux CityT It is commanded by Col. Fred Tinker of Sioux City, and has 829 officers and men. Erbe Wires All Governors The governor immediately sent a telegram to the governors of all states asking that they take no action on requested' National Guard reorganization until President Kennedy and the adjutant generals of each state have had a chance to meet during their conference In New York next week. "Collective action on the part of 'all governors is imperative in this matter," Erbe said, "only by standing united can this proposal be brought into its proper perspective." Erbe had planned to lead a delegation of governors to Washington soon to discuss with the President a proposed reorganization of the National Guard and Army Reserve. The Defense Department had announced earlier that four National Guard units, including the 34th, and four Army Reserve divisions, including the 103rd in Iowa, would be reorganized.

Erbe said that the National Council of State Governments which had been trying to arrange a meeting between the governors and Kennedy, has thus far been "purposely unsuccessful." Erbe said he does not plan to abide by the order of the National Guard Bureau "until this thing is clarified and I get sentiment from other states." Not Specified The order to eliminate one battle group was sent to both Erbe and Miller from Washington. It did not specify which battle group was to be disbanded. Miller said each of the three battle groups contains seven units a headquarters company, a combat support company and five rifle companies. He estimated the annual payroll of each of the battle groups amounts to about $750,000. Elimination of one of the battle groups, Miller said, also will cost the state about $120,000 in salaries paid to 21 fulltime technicians employed by each group.

Ranger 4 Hits Moon; Major U.S. Advance By RALPH DIGHTON GOLDSTONE, Calif. United States scored a major advance in space today when the crippled spacecraft Ranger 4 crash-landed on the far side of the moon. It was this country's first success in seven attempts to land 'a piece of hardware on the moon and virtually duplicated the feat of Russia's Lunik II which hit the moon Sept. 14, 1959.

Long Stride A space official called the feat another of the long strides in space made in the past year. James E. Webb, head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, told newsmen Ranger 4 was much more complex than anything the Soviets have attempted. Dr. William Pickering, director of NASA's jet propulsion laboratory which built Ranger 4, said that despite the failure of a key electronic system in the spacecraft the fact that it 'hit the moon "gives us confidence we can send instruments to the moon with the accuracy needed." He said another Ranger to take close-up television pictures of the moon's surface will be launched by the end of the year.

The crippled Ranger 4 zipped behind the moon at 4:47 a.m., PST (7:47 a.m., EST) and the scientists tracking it calculated that it impacted on the far side two minutes later. Although there was no way of seeing the actual impact, scien tists said Ranger 4's trajectory before passing behind the moon Ranger See Page 9 Youth Killed Near Denison CHARTER OAK (AP) Roger Jensen, 20, of Denison was killed Wednesday night in a two-car collision at the crest of a hill on a county road southeast 6f here.

One of the major inequities of the nation's economic situation is that, with millions unemployed, workers who have jobs are enjoying almost unprecedented earnings because of a great deal of overtime at bonus rates.

The government reports that factory. workers, for example, averaged "2.6 hours of overtime a week during March. If these overtime hours were denied to workers already on factory payrolls and idled employes rehired to do the work, a sizable dent would be made in the nation's 4.4 million unemployed total. The total would be reduced still more if the same thing were done in nonmanufacturing industries. Why isn't this Why do employers prefer to pay workers IVfe times their regular rate of pay for substantial amounts of overtime, rather than recall experienced workers, still on layoff from the 'recession, to do the work at the cheaper straight time rate of pay? The answer, according to the experts, is that while a certain amount of overtime work is always necessary because of rush jobs 'and need for particularly skilled workmen, the situation is aggravated now by several factors.

Employers hesitate to take on responsibilities involved in hiring new workers when they are uncertain about long-term business conditions. Another reason is the cost of fringe benefits. It has become cheaper in some cases to pay the overtime premium for extra hours than to take back former workers and the obligations for fringe benefit costs and payroll taxes. With one worker these costs are paid once, with two workers twice. The cost differential favoring overtime is not always true, but it is in enough cases now when employers may see enough work ahead for several months for extra employes but not enough work beyond that.

Labor union leaders are reported to have broached the problem to President Kennedy at a recent Whije House conference. Nothing was decided, but the union men are considering a plea to Congress to boost the overtime pen alty to double time, or twice the regular pay rate. The purpose would be to discourage overtime and hiring of extra workers. Up to now the have favored reducing the 40-hour work week limit provided in the fair labor standards (wage-hour) law as a step to share the available work. With Kennedy on record as opposed to a shorter work week unions may espouse the greater overtime pfenalty as an alternate method of work time sharing, Public Schools Announce Plan for Evacuation The Carroll Public Schools, in cooperation with local Civil De- 'ense authorities, have devised a )lan in case of a nuclear attack involving nuclear fallout in this area.

The plan, developed by a committee composed of George H. chairman, and Walter Blake, Robert Sterns, Gene Macomber and Phyllis Young, af- ords evacuation of all students in case of an attack alert, Mr. Fair said Thursday. Letters to parents explaining the procedure were sent home with the students Thursday. Registration cards are to be out by the parents and returned to the school.

The card provides for planning by the student and his parent of what to do in case of evacuation. Elementary and Junior High students were asked to designate on the card, which is provided with a map of Carroll, the route they will follow in case of early dismissal. Parents may also indicate an alternate destination in case the parent should not be home. Alternate bus routes are outlined for students. In most cases they will be taken to a central location where parents will be able to pick them up.

According to plan, all students will report to their respective homerooms when the alert attack signal is given. Their homeroom teacher will make sure all students are accounted for then all will leave the building and proceed home by designated route. The alert attack evacuation plan is designed to take no more than one-half hour from the sounding of the signal until all children have reached home or a prearranged destination. Parents are asked not to come to the school to pick up children because that would cause a traffic problem, taking more time than having them walk. May Lose Funds For Psychiatrists DES MOINES CAP) Federal funds for payment of salaries of eight resident psychiatrists-in- training at two state institutions may be cut off, the Board of Control said Thursday.

The eight residents, each of whom is paid $12,000 a year by the government while in training, are at the Cherokee and Independence Mental Health Institutes. The possible cutback appears to be an economy move within the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, said Carroll Price, a Board of Control member. Price said there are several other psychiatrists-in-training at the mental institutions who are paid from state funds. Their salaries range from $10,000 to $11,500 a year.

The federal money, Price said, permits the state to bring more psychiatrists into its training program than normally would, be economically feasible.

Reds Launch New Research Sputnik MOSCOW Soviet Unon announced today the launching of its fourth Sputnik in six iveeks. Tass news agency said the new U.S., Fire Satellite to Seek Data PICTURE: Early Story: Page 5.) By HOWARD BENEDICT CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

(AP) Thor-Delta rocket thundered skyward today in an effort to aunch the world's first interna- joint effort of the United States and Great Britain. The sleek 90-foot projectile blasted aloft at 1:01 p.m. EST. Its mission was to propel the 132- pound scientific satellite into an orbit ranging from 200 to 600 miles above the earth to gather data on the ionosphere and cosmic radiation. Seems Normal The early portion of flight appeared normal as the three-stage rocket rose smoothly into a partly cloudy sky, arched quickly toward the north-east, and sped from sight.

It would take as long as two hours to determine whether successful orbit was achieved. This is one of many cooperative space exploration efforts the United States plans with other countries. Eventually, American scientists hope to team with the Soviet Union, the world's other great rocket power, to probe the world beyond our world with manned and unmanned flights. Complex Payload U.S. and British scientists worked closely for more than two years to devise today's complex payload, which during the development stage was known by the code name S51.

America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration provided the booster rocket, designed and built the satellite structure and installed power and radio tracking equipment. Four British universities fashioned the six scientific experiments. NASA's worldwide tracking system was to acquire data from the satellite and relay it to the British universities for analysis. Results of the satellite's obser- Satellitcs See Page 8 satellite, dubbed Cosmo 4, went nto its planned orbit around the earth and took 90.6 minutes to make its first circuit. There was no indication that it was manned.

The news agency said Cosmos like the other satellites of the Cosmos series launched on March 6, April 6 and April 24, was packed with instruments for the urpose of investigating radiation and other conditions in space. Cosmos 3 was sent off on its rbit Tuesday, the day the United Itates launched the Ran'ger 4 rocket which hit the moon today. The new satellite, Tass said, was circling the earth hi a plane 5 degrees from the Equator, and at a top elevation of 206 miles. Its owest elevation was reported at 86 miles. Ttte announcement said a radio ransmitter was sending signals on a frequency of 19.995 megacycles and showed that equipment on the satellite was functioning normally.

Soviet space scientists predicted Cosmos 4 would pass over'Wash- ington at 10:08 p.m.EST tonight; The Weather IOWA FORECAST Generally fair Thursday night, lows in 50s.

HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP)-Scientists checked preliminary data the first blast in the new U.S: nuclear test series to see if yielded significant information on improving the efficency of American atomic weapons. Efficiency Goal The new series got under way Wednesday over remote Christmas Island in the Pacific with the explosion of a research and development device, rather than a finished atomic weapon.

A similar device likely will be used for the second in a few the United States pursues one of the major goals of the new test series: greater weapons efficiency. Reaction in the wake of the opening blast was as expected. In Congress, Democratic and Republican leaders said there had been no alternative but to test again in the atmosphere, the Soviet Union loosed a vehement attack on the United States and from other nations there was a mixed chorus of denunciation anc approval.

(AP) The Nashville Tennessean announced in its morning edition Thursday it is increasing its newsstand price from 5 to 10 cents a copy effective April 30. The Sunday edition will remain at 20 cents a copy. Carriers and street salesmen will share in the five-cent increase, the first price hike since 1948, the Tennessean said. It gave no reason for the price change. He also said the proposal might nvolve the closing of from seven to nine National Guard armories, depending on which battle group would be eliminated.

Towns Affected The elimination of the battle roup headquartered at Council Bluffs, would affect the towns of lenwood, Shenandoah, Clarinda, Villisca, Red Oak, Corning and Atlantic. Disbanding of the group headquartered at Sioux City would af- "ect the towns of Sioux City, Le- Mars, Sheldon, Cherokee, Ida Srove, Mapleton, Denison, Audubon and Storm Lake. The Waterloo group would involve the towns of Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Oelwein, Dubuque, Maon City, Charles City and Hampton. Miller said the proposal would not affect southeast Iowa which has no National Guard infantry units. The 34th Infantry Division is composed of about 9,000 officers and men.

About 6,400 of them are lowans. Bulletin NEW YORK CITY (AP) A federal grand jury Thursday indicted U. S. Steel Beth, lehem Steel Co. and two other steel companies on charges of conspiring to fix prices and rig bids.

Ask Flag Display On 'Loyalty Day' Loyalty Day, Tuesday, May 1, 1962, will be observed and sponsored over the United States by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliaries for first time this year. Mrs. Urban Schoeppner, local chairman, quoted the national VFW Auxiliary that "Maybe you think that flag waving is old fashioned; this is a grand old-fashioned country we live in. At least for one day out of the 365, let's do what we can to keep it that way." The VFW Auxiliary asks householders and businessmen to display the flag in observing the day. They hope to make it an annual tradition, and a step in encouraging both children and adults to recall traditions in saluting the flag and the country "for which it stands."
