We queried the minority quite closely on this. Doubt World War III Why is World War III inevit able? "Russia will only be slopped by a defeat in an out-and-out war, answered an 18-ycar-old. "The prophecies of the Bible point toward two great wars," said Francis McLuc, a New Jer sey teener who apparently doesn't count World War 1 as a great war. "Russia is too bull-headed to Ihink of anything but war," said 16-vear-old Judy Wilkcns.

CD Administration Says 'I Told You So' On Sputniks WASHINGTON HI Snutnik launchings and its claimed success in developing interconti nental missiles may have joitcu many Americans, but the official reaction at the Federal Civil De fense Administration is: "I told you so." FCDA'i hope is that the Russian scientific advances will spur what its officials regard as an oftcn apathelic public and officialdom to greater awareness that Ameri ca may well be an early and prime nuclear target in any world war. FCDA's chief, Leo A. Hocgh, says now is the time to save lives through strengthened civil defense preparedness not after an atomic or hydrogen attack. The existence of a slrong civil defense will beln deter a potential aggressor from starting a war, he savs. because "a nuclear war will be won by the nation best able to sustain Itself alter attacK. America's civil defense system needs plenty of improvement. FCDA officials arc quick lo ack nowledge tliis. Hut they point out that as far back as four years ago former FCDA head Val Peter son was talking about the ap proaching day of the interconti nental ballistic missile. Thus. Lewis K. Horry Jr., dep uty federal civil defense adminis trator, said recently Russia's space-age achievements will not chance FCDA plans. FCDA officials "have been talk ing about 1CU.M and figuring it more trustful of Russia have a more fatalistic at li Hide toward a third world war than do the boys. About three out of eight girls said they think a general war in evitable while only two out of eight among the boys feel the same way. Roughly, three out of four teen agers feel lhat, should another war come, it will be an all-out af fair with the hydrogen bomb used : by both sides.

Only 17 per cent of those polled said Russia's military strength is greater than that of the United States and half of them feel Russian power has gone downhill since the death of the old dictator, Josef Stalin. Our survey on the thoughts of teen-agers about U.S. Soviet rela tions also bore out a point which we have noticed many times dur ing our polls: Opinions of young people are very easily influenced. Two out of Ihree of the young sters queried said they felt they were reflecting another person's influence in their answers. Usual ly it was parents (26.7 per cent), friends (21.3 per cent) or teach ers (17.4 per cent!. One out of five weren't sure who helped them reach their conclusions. The Questions Asktd Can we trust Russia? Should we keep trying to nego tiate a disarmament program with Russia? Do you see any hope for eventual disarmament? Do you think a third world war is inevitable? If yes, what are your reasons for thinking so? Do you think Russia is stronger or weaker than the United States? Do you think Russia is stronger or weaker since the death of Stalin? if there is another world war, do you think the hydrogen bomb will be used? Do you think anybody influences your oppinions?

W A state official and a union officer agreed Wednesday there was no Irack side sign lo warn the engineer to slow down before his train cracked up while highballing from Mon treal to Boston at 70 miles an hour. The wreck of the Boston & Maine train Tuesday killed the engineer and fireman and injured 23 others. A railroad spokesman said the train was traveling at an "exces sive speed" at the time it jumped the tracks, smashed against a four-story brick warehouse and scattered over Ihe roadbed with the diesel engine plummeting off an 11-foot high trestle. Crtwmtn Warnad The railroad said all crewmen on trains using that line had been warned lhat temporary tracks were in use and speed was to be reduced to 15 miles an hour. The officials said also lhat warn ing signs were posted in two places in advance of the crash scene. William Marsden. of Ihe Massa chusetts Department of Public Works, said he walked along the tracks after Tuesday's crackup and found no signs. W. Paul Uuggan, general chair man of the It & M local of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Knginemen, said he saw the speed t;.pe and agreed the train was going 70 miles an hour, but asserted there was no slow speed warning signs where they should have been along the tracks.

I Industrial Users Call Sugar Act Discriminatory WASHINGTON ijr Industrial sugar users argued that a new Sugar Act benefits U.S. domestic producers "at Ihe expense of the consumer and taxpayer." Domes tic producers denied this, and said the L'.S. Department of Agricul ture has kept sugar prices t o o low. Industrial users said 4956 changes in Ihe Sugar Act gave larger marketing quotas to domes tic producers, largely at the ex pense of Cuba, "Ihe normal and natural supplier" for Ihe populous eastern area of the United States. The opposing viewpoints came out in statements presented to the Department of Agriculture Tues day concerning probahle consump tion of sugar in the United States in 1958. Under Ihe Sugar Act, the department is responsible for keeping sugar supplies adequate, at prices fair to consumers and producers. It undertakes this by fixing marketing quotas based on estimated needs. Joseph Creed of the American Bakers Assn., speaking on behalf of industrial users of sugar, said the 1958 quota should be at least 9.300,000 short Ions. He urged also that Cuba again be given oppor tunity lo supply 96 per cent of quota increases in excess of fixed totals for domestic producers, as under the Sugar Act prior to its 1956 amendments. The 1956 changes gave domestic producers 55 per cent of such increases and "only 25 59 per cent to Cuba," said Creed. Josiah Ferris, representing can sugar producers' of Florida and Louisiana, and Robert H. Shields, president nf the U.S. Beet Sugar Assn., both contended the domes lie industry did a good job in meeting its responsibilities under the Sugar Act. Movie Screen Burns As Patrons Look On PORTLAND il Forty persons were watching a film in the Orpheum Theater here Tuesday when the movie screen caught fire and was destroyed. Theater manager Oscar Nyberg said the blaze lasted five minutes and was confined to the screen. The fire began shortly -after the day's first movie began. Nyberg said "We're out of bus iness, for a while." The Orpheum is one of Port land's major downtown theaters. Norblad Says Tanker Flight Of Little Value OREGON CITY if Last week's non-stop jet tanker flight to Buenos Aires was "an Air Force publicity scheme of little or no value." Rep. Norblad tR Orel said here Tuesday. Norblad, in a talk prepared for a Chamber of Commerce meet ing, said the flight proved "a total of nothing." and that it "simply resulted in a lot of waste man power and valuable jet fuel. "A similar type of flight in an operational aircraft with normal weapon load would be of value but in this case the tanker plane, which is normally used lo refuel others, was loaded wilh only huge quantities of fuel which were con sumed by itself." The money used for the flight, he said, could better have heen "'l fnr the missile and satellite programs.
