LIMA, Peru, March / (AP).
Rescue and relief teams

from 60 to 100 persons were
reported killed and dozens in

were killed." said Acting Pre-
feet oscar Barrios from the
town of Huaras, far south of
Conchucos. people all through

and afraid another avalanche
could occur at any moment"
The slide struck the town of

out communications.
Reports telephoned from
Huaras, 80 miles southwest Of
Conchucos, brought word Of
the casualties but details Of
the disaster were meager.
Doctors, medicine, food and
clothing were being sent from
Huaras.
Conchucos, surrounded by
two glaciers, can be reached
only over a primitive road.
Heavy rains recently in the
area are believed to have set
off the avalanche.
Conchucos, a farm commu-
nifty whose inhabitants raise
barley, corn and alfalfa, was
devastated in 1912 by an earth
quake that killed several hun
dred persons in the area.
The avalanche was the sec

The question of whether w.
Pilot Francis Gary Powers will
appear before congressional
committees and hold a public
news conference remained up
in the air today.
Director John A. McCone of
the Central Intelligence Agency
had been scheduled to brief
two congressional groups today
on the Governments inter-
rogation Of Mr.. Powers.
But, Mr.. McCone informed
the committees last night he
had not completed his review
Of the report prepared by a
special board of inquiry.
The board, headed by Judge
E. Barrett Prettyman, finished
its job yesterday and gave the
report to Mr.. McCone, an ad-

Mr.. Powers said the G. o. p.
voters will have to decide if
they are to name their nominee
for Governor or whether "this
decision will be made for them
and they submissively take a
candidate sponsored by the top
party dictators.

Mr.. Powers wouldn't say who
he favored for Governor.
The 60-year-old Mr.. Powers
said his decision was probably
my farewell to politics"
He said he intends to spend
his time on his cattle ranch
near Sacramento.
Mr.. Powers was first elected
to the State Senate in 1894 and
was chosen Lieutenant Cover
nor 20 years later. He was
beaten by the present Lieuten-

son, in the Democratic sweep

A split has developed In
Government ranks over Presi-
dent Kennedy's plan to permit
anyone to invest in the corpora
ton which would handle this
country's part Of a global sys-
tenn of satellite communica-
tionS.
The Federal Communications
Commission, through its chair
man, Newton N. Minow, told
the Senate Space Committee
yesterday it favors limiting in
vestment in the new corpora
ton to American companies
already engaged in the bust
ness of transmitting commun-
ications.
This is the method provided
for in the bill which Senator
Kerr, Democrat of Oklahoma,
chairman of the Space Com
mittee, introduced before the
President submitted his meas
ure calling for unrestricted
ownership.
The FEC argued that the
public interest in efficient and
economical service can best be
satisfied if the communications
carriers maintain control over
the facilities used to furnish
the service.
The FEC testimony came af-
ter the State Department,
through Undersecretary for Po-
litical Affairs George C. Nc
Chez made a strong plea for
the Presidents plan.
The committee is expected to
receive more conflicting testi-
mony today from two private
industry sources.
The Hawaiian Telephone Co.,
Ralph o. Beck, will line up with
the FEC for the Kerr bill,
Hughes Aircraft Co., which is
developing a high altitude COM
munications satellite, will test

Cordier Quits
Post at u. n.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Mar. P).-Andrew w. Cor
der said goodby to the United
Nations yesterday after 16
years as one of the key figures
in the world organization.
Mr.. Cordier is retiring at the
age of so to begin a new career
as Dean of Columbia Univer-
sity's graduate school of inter-
national affairs.
Along with DR.. Ralph j
Bunche, Mr.. Cordier was one
of the two top Americans il,
the U. N. secretariat. He held
the rank of undersecretary and
had served as executive as
sistant to both Trygve Lie and
Dag HammarskjoYd, the most
influential post in the secre-
ariat.
Mr.. Cordier, a former history
professor from Indiana, became
a familiar figure on television
screens as the third man on
the rostrum in the General As
sembly, along with the Assembly
President and the Secretary
General. He served as adviser
to the Assembly President on
complex procedural rulings and
called the roll Of members dur
ing roll calls.
Behind the scenes, he was at

geles.
But his bitter words were
apparently directed against Mr.
Nixon.
Mr.. Nixon had no immediate
comment. An aide in San Fran
cisco said today the former
Vice President had not seen
Mr.. Powers statement.
Second to Quit
Mr.. Powers withdrawal is
the second of the race. Former
Gov. Goodwin j.. Knight, also
seeking the G. o. P. nomina-
ton for Governor, dropped Out
because of illness.
Mr.. Powers decision didn't
come as a big surprise. He has
done little campaigning.
1T is now too late to mount
the type Of campaign which
would be necessary to win the
Republican nomination." Mr.
Powers said.

to continue would confuse the
Republican voters in the June

U.S.SpIiton Ownership
Of Rodio-N Satellites

share Of q worldwide satellite
system.
Before the hearings end the
committee will get a third view
point from Senators who fav-
or Government ownership of
the satellite communications
system. A bill for this purpose
is being sponsored by Demo-
cratic Senator Kefavuer Of
Tennessee and Morse Of Oregon.
Mr.. Minow told the commit
tee he obtained permission from
the Budget Bureau to present
his testimony disagreeing with
the administration approach
but that the bureau advised
him there has been no change
in the Presidents program.
Summing up his position, the
FEC chairman said "our priv
ately owned common carriers,
under governmental regulation,
have provided the Nation with
an unparalleled communica-
tons system and may conf
IDENTIFY be relied upon to full
fill the detectives of our Ma
tons satellite communication
program"
No Early Profits Likely
The FEC position is based
on a belief that in its early
stages the satellite system of
sending messages is not likely
to be profitable.
Mr.. Minow argued that If
only the companies engaged in
the business of sending mes
sages are the investors they
could include the high cost Of
the new facilities along with
the lower cost of their exist
ing and average the cost of all
facilities in the satellite pur-
poses. In this way a return
on the capital invested in the
satellite system would not de-
pend Soley on the revenue por-
duced by satellite messages dur
ing uneconomic years.
If non-carriers were per-
mitted to invest in the new
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-01

corporation. a return on their
capital could only come from
revenues collected on satellite
operations, he argued. To pro-
vide such a return on outside
capital, Mr.. Minow said. the
rates for satellite messages
would have to be high and this
would discourage use Of the
satellites by the established
companies, which could con-
tinue to use their more eco
nomic cable and radio facilities.
He said this would defeat the
Nations objective of fostering
widespread use Of the new sys-
tenn.
Describes Satellite System
DR.. Allen E. Pickett of the
Aerospace Group filed with the
committee a description of the
Syncom communications sat
elite his group is developing
under a NASA contract. He
said the first experimental unit
will be ready in July and that
a larger operational satellite
could be ready in Is months.
He said his company is in
terested in the pending leg
islation, both as a supplier of
equipment and a potential in
weston in the new satellite
corporation.
His statement argued that
public ownership would result
in "a single-minded interest
on the part Of the owners in
providing efficient and econom-
ical service. as distinct from the
divided service if the corpora
ton were a captive of the COM
mon carrier.
Sees State Department Role
Senator Kerr questioned Mr..
McGhee sharply as to why the
State Department should be
given a hand in supervising
negotiations between American
companies and communication
officials in other countries, as
provided for in the Kennedy
bill. Mr.. McGhee insisted that
the State Department would
not attempt to negotiate he
deailed business arrangements
