Girls Mora Trustful
Distrust of Russia is Rampant
among American young people.
Nearly nine out of ten told us
they feel the Soviets can't be
trusted.
"Russia wants to rule (he whole
world," said a 16-year-old girl.
sibililv of a IhiM world war
showed a vastly different opinion.
.More than half 155 per cent)
said they do not think another
general war is inevitable while
only one in three expressed the
feciing that world-wide hostilities
are bound to come.
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.
"The poor people under Com
munist rule are going to rebel and
we will help them," said another
"Thev're too sneaky." in the 18-year-oltl girl.

Jimmy Smith of Sioux Falls,

"Greediness."
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

er than the Soviets.
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?

Harrington gave some backing
to that view even while describing
the reports as incorrect.
He was asked whether agents
would be lenient in going over the

"There w ill be no change in that j

At another point he said. "Now ;

For those reporting, he said. ;
"some accounts would obviously!
hae to be estimates, or at least1

Ihe returns, he added, only lump,
sums need be used for car expens

only if the return is questioned.

No Signs Warned
Train Engineer
To Slow His Speed
MKDFORD. Mass. 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
