Biikovsky, overshadowé™ by the first space woman, landed nearly three hours after she did in the Kustanai region of Ka- zakhstan, about 1,000 miles southeast of Moscow and 600 miles west of the woman cos- monaut's touchdown. Bykovsky set a new orbital record, circling the globe more than 81 times in 119 hours and covering more than 2,000,000 miles, He shattered the record.of 64 orbits set last August in a four- day flight of Maj. Andrian Ni- kolayev, who made history's first dual space flight with Lt.- Col. Pavel Popovich. It was clear that Valentina's work was confined to routine re- porting of mechanisms in her space .ship and that she had manipulated mone of the vital controls. All the other Soviet cosmo- nauts, like the Americans, are trained pilots. Valentina is an experienced parachutist, with more than 170 jumps to her credit. But she has. no pilot training. "I only got a bruise on the nose,"' Valentina told Premier Khrushchev, who telephoned her from Moscow soon after she landed. She didn't explain how she got the bruise and said, "'it will pass.' Khrushchev also telephoned his congratulations to Bykov- sky, who said he landed without a scratch, Although earlier Soviet re- ports indicated both cosmonauts landed inside their space cap- sules, a correspondent for the labor newspaper Trud reported today that she parachuted from the space ship after it re-ent- ered the earth's atmosphere. OTTAWA (CP) -- Persistent rumors tha* Finance Minister Gordon is about to resign his portfolio swept through the cap- ital today but met firm denial. "There is absolutely no truth in the reports," said Brian Land, the minister's executive assistant. He said Mr. Gordon was in a cabinet meeting. The minister's office was del- uged with phone calls this morn- ing asking whether the rumor was correct. The flood of quer- ies appeared to flow mainly from the Toronto and Monreal financial communities. Mr. Land said he thought er speculation was based on story in the Montreai Geastte, saying unconfirmed reports from Liberal sources was that Prime Minister Pearson might shift Mr. Gordon to another} portfolio as soon as the budget controversy died down. OTTAWA (CP)--The Liberal government faces a major test of fidence in Parli t as a result of Finance Minister Gordon's budget proposals and his decision Tuesday, announced Cuban Exiles Land In Cuba MIAMI, Fla. (AP)--The big Cuban Revolutionary Council said today its commando forces had landed in Cuba. Other Cu- ban exile sources reported that 500 men were involved in the action. A state department spokes- man in Washington said the de- partment had no information on the reported invasion, but was asking its Miami office to in- vestigate. Council members were reluc- tant to comment. "We don't want amy public. ity,' declared one council source. Asked at how many points the commandos struck, he said: "It might have been two places." And he added: "We cannot say from where they left, nor where they fanded. "We are doing this for Cuba, not for publicity." Last April, Jose Miro Car- dona, former Cuban premier resigned as president of the counoft with a blast at Presi- dent Kennedy for refusal to help the exiles-in a war to lib- erate their island from Fidel Castro's Communist rulc.-- Antonio Maceo, grandson of a Cuban independence hero of the same name, became the presi- dent of the reorganized council. Manuel Amtonio de Varona, an- other former premier of Cuba, is its guiding force. The council remains one of the largest anti-Castro coalitions despite withdrawal of several groups in sympathy with Miro while stock markets were still open, to withdraw one of them. The Conservatives, climaxing three days of attack on Mr. Gordon, moved a non - confi- dence motion that will come to a vote in the Commons Mon- day night. If a Social Credit or New Democratic Party sub- amendment emerges today, it would be voted on tonight. There hasn't been so much Commons pressure on a single cabinet minister since Conserv- ative Finance Minister Donald Fleming was attacked in 1961 over his government's attempt to fire Bank of Canada Gov- ernor James E, Coyne. DEMAND INVESTIGATION Besides the non - confidence motion, Mr. Gordon is under heavy opposition fire for using three Toronto businessmen as helpers in writing the budget speech and is faced by demands for investigation of possible leaks of budget secrets. Atop this, Mr. Gordon an- nounced soon after Tuesday's commons sitting began that his proposed 30 - per - cent "'take- over" tax on large-scale Cana- dian stock sales to foreigners was being withdrawn. pending adjustments, His announcement hi} Toronto and Montreal stock/ markets some 40 minutes 'ore they closed. Stock priced immedi-/has ately rose, wiping many of the sharp losses recorded ear- lier in the day. George Nowlan, former Con- servative finance minister, blasted Mr. Gordon for 'stupid procedures," "T assume that fortunes have Rumor Gordon To Quit But Firm Denial Made been made on this rise this aft- ernoon,"' Mr, Nowlan said. The first point in a four-part non - confidence motion pre- sented by Mr. Nowlan accused Mr. Gordon of having "seriously weakened public confidence" by not maintaining "the constitu- tional practice of the essential secrecy of the budget." Mr. Nowlan said the Conserv- atives were "not questioning the integrity of any individuals." Earlier, however, Opposition Leader Diefenbaker and T. C. Douglas, New Democratic Party leader, called for an inquiry into a, JUDY LA MARSH stock market operations prior to the budget speech to determine whether there had been any pre- budget leaks. Lawrence E, Kindt (PC--Mac- leod) referred to reports that 'fabulous orders' for building materials were placed before the budget levied an 11-per-cent sales tax on them. Mr. Diefenbaker also de- manded an opportunity "'to get the facts regarding these tink- ers"--the three outside budget helpers brought in by Mr. Gor- don. Prime Minister Pearson agreed to consider making an inquiry, but challenged Mr. Diefenbaker to produce in the Commons "any evidence on _ to base the suspicions he indicated." "I do not believe in guilt by innuendo or insinuation," Mr. Pearson said. Mr. Diefenbaker said he had asked for information -- not made insinuations, and that Mr. Pearson was "tnying to hide be- t hind a smoke screen." VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Roman Catholic cardinals failed to elect a new pope today on their first four bal- lots. They will vote again Friday. VATICAN CITY (AP) -- cardinals of the Roman Catholte Church failed to elect a new pope today on the first two bal- lots of their conclave to choose a successor to Pope John XXIII. Puffs of black smoke issued from the smokestack of the Sis- tine Chapel at 11:54 a.m., sig- nifying that no candidate had received the required two- thinds majority, or 54 votes, in the two ballots cast this morn- ing by the 80 princes of the church, Another two ballots will be held this afternoon in the chapel inside the double locked conclave area. The voting will Cardona's stand. continue at the rate of four bal- LONDON (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Macmillan told a parliamen- tary questioner today that he would not ask U.S. President Kennedy to defer his forthcom- ing visit to England. Marcus Lipton, a member of the Labor opposition, asked the prime minister whether, in view of widespread opinion that the time Was not opportune, he would ask Kennedy to defer his visit to this country for the time being. Maomillan replied: "No.'* Lipton said: 'Therefore the president's visit is still on? Do you not think that the president should be given the opportun- ity of exchanging views with a new prime minister and not a prime minister who is under notice to quit and whose polit- ical status at home and abroad is inevitably impaired?" Macmillan answered: 'You have made your point in a way which is characteristic of you with your usual courtesy, and I leave it at that.' Kennedy is due to hola ixixs with Macmillan at Birchgrove, the premier's private country residence in nearby Sussex, on June 29 and 30. Macmillan has been coolly carrying out his government tasks in the wake of the Pro- fumo scandal which has ser- iously damaged his position and has given no encouragement to the idea he is considering re- signing immediately. But political circles believed the crisis has made his personal Position so precarious that any- thing could happen between now and the end of the month. Mac Wont Ask Delay In Visit By Kennedy opponent, Labor Leader Harold Wilson disagreed on the form of an inquiry into the Profumo scandal, The disagreement came after a half-hour meeting held to dis- cuss a probe into the amorous affairs of former war minister John Profumo. Macmillan and Wilson agreed to meet again after Macmillan|' had consulted his cabinet. Political observers said the disagreement was so fundamen- tal probably more than one ad- ditional meeting would be needed to reach agreement and mo final decision would be reached until next week. Meanwhile, Scotland Yard put an emengency guard on Chris- tine Keeler after anonymous tipsters warned that the life of Shortly before the Commons session, Macmillan and his chief g ry the 21-year-old party girl.in the Profumo affair was in danger.

The building was erected in 1923 for $160,000.
