Y. W Russia's Valerian A. Zorin said Thursday "the preservation of peace and the struggle against a new war has been. and is the main concern of the Soviet Union." His declaration was made during disarmament debate before the U. N.'s 60-nation Political Committee where U. S. Delegate Ernest A. Gross challenged him Wednesday to demonstrate by deeds the sin cerity of Prime Minister Georgi M. Malenkov's peace bids. Zorin answered two questions which Gross put directly to him, but the replies failed to disclose any change in the Soviet attitude that might lead to a break in the seven-year deadlock on atomic control and disarmament. He called Gross' questions "artt fcial" and other statements by Gross questioning the sincerity of Russia's peaceful intentions were described by Zorin as "slander." To Gross' question as to whether Russia is willing to discuss "con structively" the question of dis armament at this time, Zorin said Russia had reneatedlv submitted proposals and they were all "de signed to bring about a solution of that important problem." Clark Considers It All One War THU DUC.

" ' , r , V - i and between Seattle and Janan All other reports must come from ships in transit, and they usually seek out tha nest weather for travel. All weather, food or bad, in the West can be attributed to the ocean. . , . . . . i 1 With the lack of reports coming from offshore, it's a problem to plot accurately the movements of air masses. But, assuming that a movement has been plotted accurately, a theoretically important air mass strikes the coastline. It immedi ately encounters the rugged re lief on the coast and slows up. Warm air masses containing mois ture are lost over the cold valleys and the whole procedure of fore casting is thrown slightly out of gear. Area 'Migrates' Another situation exists in the area. A prevailing high pressure area lies off the coast near the Oregon-California state line. The area "migrates" with the seasons of the year and with conditions during the seasons. With each mi gration, weather conditions shift. Seattle is the central point for forecasts of Northwest weather. Among its guidance forecasts, la ter refined here to fit local condi tions, is one for Western Oregon. But with a shift by the high pres sure area, Northern California Bill Would Permit Use Of Machines For Voting SALEM I - A bill to let counties use vol'ng machines had the blessing Thursday of the House Elections Committee.

The Western Oregon forecast does not count in the area. Lander and his two assistants, Miss Elizabeth Fretwell and Leon ard Hedine, do not forecast local weather -from scratch. The wea ther Bureau ns set up a central ized forecasting system.

For instance, Medford uses bal loon-borne instruments, coupled with a radio transmitter for air- to-ground interpretations from the higher altitudes. Roseburg has nothing like that. Lander's observation procedure is t'.ie familiar one. It includes a check of maximum and minimum thermometers, snother of anemo meter dials in the wcathat shack which record both velocity and di rection of the wind, and others of rain gauges and relative humid ities. He1 also taks an occasional squint at the sky. "A lot of the forecasting on the Pacific Coast comes purely through experience." he comments.

Most wet winters in Oregon are mild ones. Precip itation Hiis yea? has been well above normal. The typical cold weather of the Northwest origin ates ' in the Fraser River Valley of British Columbia, Lander says, and sweeps into this area by an easterly circulation of air masses. The cold of the Rockies is that same cold we get here. But the coast this winter appar ently has been hit directly by storms from off the Pacific. The suturated Pacific air is warmed by warm ocean currents. Warm air soaks up more moisture than cold air. The warm air encounters the mountains, cools, and we get wet.

Three Mile Limit , The measure recognizes the state ownership o the land out for a distance of three miles from the shore.

A committee tide said this pro vision was meant to meet the claims of Texas and Florida to three leagues, or lOtt miles, out from shore as their state seaward Boundary in the Gulf of Mexico. Ike Would Sign President Eisenhower has said he will sign su.'h legislation if it reaches him. President Truman repeatedly rejected such plans, and one of his last official acts was to declare the lands in dues. tion a naval oil reserve.

It was a proper proce dure. It emphasizes he necessity of our being constantly on the alert, as we are in Alaska." Legislators now -in session her expressed concern. Some said they felt It might be another in a series of Russian-provoked incidents. Others said they were more con. cerned over repor s in recent weeks of vapor trails sighted far above the Alaska mainland in Iso lated sections of Northwest Alaska, which they said they took for granted were Russian jet incur sions. Senate President Charles Jones (R-Nome) commented: . ' This isprobably just an unre lated incident It does not alarm me but does give me grave- con cern. Reports of high vapor trails seen by Eskimos far north of my home city (Nome) on the coast facing Russia seems more serious to me." - . . :j, -.
