Guided Missile
Launched On Dash
Over The Atlantic
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
A Snark guided missile blazed
.skyward early today on a 6,000
mile flight across the Atlantic.
The Snark, the nation's only
operational intercontinental weap
on, streaked over the ocean with
a flash of orange flame.
In seconds the red-coated mis
sile disappeared over the horizon.
The Air Force announced only
that a Snark was launched. The
results of the test usually are se
cret.
The Snark will soon become an
operational missile across the na
tion. The first Snark launching
site is scheduled to be set up al
Presque Isle, Maine.
It was the second Snark launch
ing during the week. Last Wednes
day another of the Northrup-de-veloped
missiles blasted aloft.
However, Wednesday's flight
was short-lived, it was learned, be
cause the Snark ran into the buf
feting winds of hurricane Daisy
and plunged into the sea at Ihe
hallway mark or Us test flight.
More than 60 Snarks have been
launched since the test series be
gan. Last month, the first military
launching of the missile was con
ducted Dy the 653th Strategic Mis
sile Squadron.
The Snark travels at a snail's
pace as far as missiles go about
600 ill. p. h. but it has amazing
accuracy over intercontinental
range.

Soil Bank Rates
Increased Over
Those Of 1957
Southwestern Oregon farmers
soon will be able to place land
under the 1959 conservation re
serve of the Soil Bank at average
annual rates one-third above those
a year ago, it was announced in
Eugene this week.
Douglas County's new conserva
tion reserve rental rate, will be
$15 an acre, according to Joseph
E. McBurney, Gaston, chairman of
the state Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee.
Average annual payments per
acre for other counties represent
ed at the meeting include: Benton,
$17; Coos, S16; Curry, SM; Jack
son, S15; Josephine, $15; Lane,
S17, and Linn, $17.
About 50 agricultural leaders
from the eight counties attended
the meeting. They included county
ASC office managers, county ex
tension agents, and representativ
es of the Soil Conservation Service
and Forest Service.
The 1959 conservation reserve is
designed to attract 154,000 Oregon
acres to the program next year,
the leaders were told. The stale
now has 72,000 acres under con
tract in the voluntary program.
Opening date for farmers to
make inquiries at county ASC of
fices has been set for Sept. 2, an
nounced ASC soil bank specialist
Sherwood Nicholas, Portland. Clos-
ing date for Uie inquiries will be
Oct. "3.
Farmers must contact their coun
ty ASC office and outline their
plans before the Oct. 3 closing date
if they want to take part in the
1959 program, Nicholas emphasiz
ed. A 10 per cent payment above
normal rales to farmers who put
all eligible land in the conservation
reserve for at least five years was
listed as an added incentive for
signing under the new program.

"the Dulles foreign policy of brink
manship." The United States is pledged by
treaty to defend Formosa. Whether
it defends the offshore islands is
left to Eisenhower's discretion. The
Formosa Resolution, passed by
Congress in 1955, empowers the
President to defend the islands if,
in his judgment, an attack on them
is aimed ultimately at conquest of
Formosa.
The Red Chinese have voiced re
peatedly this week their intention!
to conquer all the islands. And
Eisenhower and Dulles have stress
ed there is an interlocking among
all the Nationalist-held islands.
Thus, the stage was set for Ei
senhower to make i finding that
Quemoy and Matsu must be de
fended by the United Slates.

munist fire slacked off today after
more than 12.000 shells were pour

Peiping threatened heavier bom
bardments to come.
The Communist ministry of na
tional defense ordered its artillery
units "to redouhle their attack" on
the islands just off Ihe Chinese
mainland, Peiping radio said. It
claimed that heavy casualties had
been inflicted on Nationalist troops
in the eight-day bombardment.
Most military men on Formosa
have concluded that the shelling is
Ihe prelude to a Communist at
tempt to capture the Quemoy
group soon. Ihe naionalists say
they're ready.
WASHINGTON (API The

area. The planes are from the
Tactical Air Command. '
Their exact destination w as not ,
disclosed.
The buildup of U.S. forces In
the Western Pacific began after
the Red Chinese started shelling
Chinese Nationalist offshore island
near Formosa, and threatened to
invade them.
U.S. officials looked for a possi
ble invasion move over the week
end. This could bring a showdown
whether the United Slates intends
to defend the islands and become
involved in combat with the Chi
nese Communists.

All Oregon Forest
Fires Controlled;
Care Still Needed
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Forest Service today ap
pealed to the public using wood
land resorts during the long Labor
Day weekend to use extreme care
with fire in forest lands which
still are highly inflammable.
Rain and cooler temperatures
today aided the service to gain
control of all fires in Oregon, in
cluding the 1,000-acre fire which
blazed in Cascade Mountain tim
ber near Detroit, Ore.
Guy Johnson of the Forest Ser
vice said .that men were being
released rapidly from the fire
fighting crews with control .es
tablished on fire lines. About 600
men had been on the Detroit fire
earlier.
Fire conditions also were re
ported improved east of Ihe Cas
cades in Oregon. All fires were
reported under control.
Another storm similar to Fri
day's is expected Saturday night
but may be weaker. The Weather
Bureau said temperatures would
be slightly higher.
Most Western Oregon points
had rain Friday but the precipi
tation was light and in some areas
not enough to dampen forest
floors.
Mexico City Torn
By Rioting Of Oil
Workers, Students
MEXICO CITY UH Students
and oil workers with separate
complaints united in five hours of
rioting Friday before police quel
led them with gunfire.
A bank employe was killed ac
cidentally when a bullet fired at
a mob smashed through a bank
window. Hospital authorities said
33 persons were hospitalized with
wounds, many from gunfire.
Scores of others were known to
have been injured by stones, clubs
and tear gas grenades.
Most of the rioters were students
ostensibly protesting poor bus
service, and workers of Pemex,
the government oil monopoly, who
are involved in a union squabble
that has no connection with the
student complaints.
More trouble was feared at I
student demonstration today that
may attract sympathizing railway
hands, telegraphers, teachers and
oil workers. Student leaders pre
dicted 100,000 persons would show
up in a downtown plaza for the
demonstration.
The leftist-led railway union,
which has cheered all the dissi
dent groups, raised the threat of
another strike on the nationalized
railways, paralyzed twice in re

All Time End Wanted i
Khrushchev said the purpose of i
test ban talks "must be to con
clude an agreement lo end lor all
time tests of atomic and hydrogen
weapons of all kinds by all states."
This was not likely to please the
French, who are trying to explode
their first atomic weapons. j
Khrushchev proposed that an
agreed limit on the talks be set
beforehand. He suggested that
"These negotiations could be
brought to a conclusion within two
or three weeks." The United Stales
always has fought shy of such
limits for fear of Soviet stalling
tactics.
WASHINGTON tAP) The
Atomic Energy Commission plans

Nevada during the next two
months.
These, including some under
ground shois as well as others
fired from balloons or towers, will
be set off before the proposed i
one-year suspension or nuclear
weapons tests beginning Oct. 31.
The AEC said Friday these
explosions will complete the 1958
testing program, which has been
in progress at the Eniwetnk and
Johnston Island proving grounds
in the Pacific.
The AKC said that more than
half of the new tests will be of
less than one kiloton, equivalent
to l.ooo tons of TNT. The highest
will be in the 20 kiloton range.

Douglas Streams
Slightly Above
Average Levels
With the lack of rain, streams
earlier this week were continuing
to dwindle in the county, but they
are still slightly above the levels
of the average for preceding years
at the end of August.
These are the indications from
stream readings being made at
frequent intervals by Ben B. Irv
ing, director of the county's Water
Resources Survey office.
Two of the most critical streams,
the South Umpqua River and Cow
Creek, are both above the average
for the last 17 years during which
records have been kept. The South
Umpqua at Tiller is carrying 78
cubic second feet (about 570 gal
long per second), 4 per cent above
the average; the same stream
near Winston is carrying 138 cfs.
(about 1.035 gallons), lOMi per cent
above average; and Cow Creek
near Azalea is carrying 15 $ cfs.
(about 118 gallons)', 16 per cent
above average. These readings
were taken Aug. 26.
The situation on the North Ump
qua is approximately the same,
although the record is available
onlv for four years. The river at
Winchester is carrying 1,210 cfs.,
about 11 per cent more than the
average for the four years.
Other streams measured with
showings equal to or above aver
age are: Cow Creek near Riddle
34.5 cfs., Calapooia Creek near
Oakland 13 cfs., and Elk Creek
near Drain 3 cfs. Steamboat Creek
had 29 cfs., considerably below a
three-year average.
