It's Self Defense, Starkweather Says
LINCOLN, Neb. — (UP)— Charles Stark weather accused his 14-year-old girl friend of murder on the witness stand today and said all of his own killings were in self defense.
Starkweather admitted calmly that he had killed 17-year-old Robert Jensen, the King girl's boy friend. It is for Jensen's murder that he is being tried.
Defense attorney T. Clement Gaughan said: "Charlie, you have been accused of a lot of alleged crimes. Why did you do it?"
Gaughan referred to a portion of Starkweather's confession in which he said he got mad at Caril Fugate after the deaths of Jensen and the King girl.
"Self defense."
"All those people?"
"What were you mad at Carl about?" Gaughan asked.
"The ones I've killed, yes."
"For what she did."
Statewide Activities Under New System
"She shot Carol King."
Statewide Activities has been reorganized into a new system providing for regional chairmen to replace the current county chairman system. Only 30 such chairmen will be chosen for Kansas.
The regional chairman will be responsible for coordinating efforts of students from several counties to promote KU to high school students.
The program for students from other states working for Statewide Activities will not be affected by the change for Kansas.
KU Student Found Safe
John Patrick Burns, missing KU freshman from Olathe, who has been the object of a widespread search by local and federal law officers since his disappearance March 31, telephoned his parents Tuesday from Davenport, Wash., where he said he is working and is safe.
Trouble with grades at KU was the main reason he left the University. Burns explained to his parents.
His father, George Burns, Olathe drugginst, said he would visit with Burns in Spokane, Wash., this week, but would not interfere with his boy's decision to live in Washington as long as he is happy.
Over 10,000 missing persons bulletins were mailed by Mr. Burns to law enforcement agencies in the United States in an effort to find his son.
Russians Launch Third Sputnik
MOSCOW—(UP)]The Soviet Union sent its third Sputnik into orbit today. The new satellite weighed almost a ton and a half, twice the size of any previous man-made moon, indirectly indicating the tremendous power of the Soviet intercontinental rocket.
Concert Sunday Will Feature Faculty Soloists
The exact weight of the new satellite was given as 1,327 kilograms—2,925.53 pounds. It was more than double the size of the now-defunct Sputnik II, the largest satellite until today, which weighed 1,118 pounds and carried the space-dog Laika. It was more than 100 times larger than the biggest U. S. satellite, Explorer III, which weighs 31 pounds.
Two department of music education faculty members will be featured soloists at the Annual Spring Concert by the University Concert Band at 8 p.m. Sunday in the University Theatre, Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
L. Donald Scheid, instructor of band and orchestra, clarinetist, will play Fantaisie Italienne, (Delmas), and John Hill, instructor of music education, trombonist, will play Morceau Symphonique (Guilmont).
Russel L. Wiley, band director, said Wednesday he believes the greatly varied program will be enjoyed by the public. Student identification cards will admit members of the student body.
Band selections will be:
Symphony No. 4 in F Minor.
"Finaie" (Tchaikovsky). Baceanale from "Samson and Delilah" (Saint-Saens). Zeuignung (Richard Strauss). Ballet music from "Faust" (Gounod), Berceues and Finale from "The Firebird" (Stravinsky).
Exceptes from Manzoni Requiem (Verdi), Brunnhilde's Awakening from "Siegfried" (Wagner), Jubilee, Concert March (Kenny), Proud Heritage, Concert March (Latham), and Polka and Fugue from "Schwanda the Bagpiper" (Weinberger).
Most Unusual Day
A University instructor took his four-year-old son to the barber shop for a haircut. The instructor relaxed in a nearby seat to look at a magazine while the boy was in the barber chair. 'I asked her sideburns?' asked the barber.
"Do you want me to leave sideburns?" asked the barber.
The father smiled. "Not for a few years yet," he answered, not looking up.
Twenty minutes later, the boy stepped down from the chair, shorn of the curls in which his mother took such pride. The shocked father glared at the barber.
"That's the first time I knew sideburns ran clear to the top of the head," the father countered hotly. His son, confused by the loud voices, began to cry.
"You said 'no sideburns.'" the barber reminded him
On the way home, the pair stopped at a toy store where they purchased a noisy toy to pacify the little boy.
The boy, his tears gone, burst through the front door of the family home, pushing the clanging, clacking toy ahead of him to show his mother. The noise awakened the baby. Her screams added to the confusion. The mother, unnerved by the racket and by the sight of her son's closely clipped hair, flushed a diaper down the bathroom stool.
After paying a plumber $12.75 in double-time wages to get this obstruction removed from the sewage system, the instructor retired to the back step.
"Gee, daddy," the boy said. "Can I go to the park with Joey? Nothin' ever happens around here."
Sputnik III apparently carries no living animal, but contains a considerable amount of important apparatus for scientific checks.
The new satellite is a cone-shaped tube 11 feet $ 8^{5} \mathrm{~s} $ inches long, and five feet $ 8^{4} \mathrm{~s} $ inches in diameter at its base.
The fourth stage of the launching rocket is following the satellite in a close orbit.
Flight To Moon In Near Future
The news of the launching caused little excitement in Moscow because, as one 10-year-old Moscow schoolboy said: "There isn't even a dog aboard."
Flight To Moon In Near Future Prof. Cyril Stanimkovich, a noted Soviet astrophysicist, said launching of this Sputnik is expected to reveal data that will facilitate space flights to the moon "within the nearest possible future."
But the apparent lack of enthusiasm did not extend to Premier Nikita Khrushchev. At a mass meeting in the Kremlin to say a public farewell to visiting United Arab Republic President Gamal Abdel Naser, Khrushchev crowed with delight over the new Soviet success.
Khrushchev's jibe at the United States raised a howl of laughter from his listeners.
U. S. Has 3 Satellites
The United States at present has three satellites in orbit—Explorer I, 108 pounds; Vanguard I, I, 314 pounds; and Explorer III, 31 pounds.
Foreign observers were greatly impressed by the weight of the new Sputnik. Khrushchev said recently the rockets which sent Sputniks into space were based on the intercontinental ballistic missile.
There was no indication whether the Russians hoped to bring the latest satellite back to earth intact. There was still some question of whether Soviet scientists have solved the problem of reentry into the atmosphere from such heights.
However, in London, Kenneth Gatland, vice-chairman of the British Interplanetary Society, said that "The most surprising thing about Sputnik III is its weight, which means that the Russians may have the ability of recovering it."
Air Brakes and Parachutes
Air Brakes 2000
Gauche said recovery of the newest baby raken may be possible by "using air brakes and ribbon type parachutes."
In Washington, American rocket expert William H. Pickering said that Russia's launching of the new satellite shows beyond doubt that the Soviet Union can launch intercontinental ballistic missiles "with very substantial warheads."
He estimated that a thrust of at least a million pounds would have been required to launch Sputnik III.
Dr. Richard W. Porter, director of the U.S. earth satellite program, at a Washington news conference, congratulated Russian scientists on their success with the new satellite.
Anderson Out Of Race
TOPEKA —(UP)— John Anderson, 41, Kansas' youth attorney general, announced today he will seek reelection to the same post, instead of running for governor on the Republican ticket.
