President Kennedy approved , plans for the pioneer blast in a sail snail, some j.w xeei ut-iuw the surface, among the salt beds of New Mexico, about 25 miles southeast of Carlsbad. The Atomic Energy Commission said the blast probably would be set off during the second week of December and that its power won Z :Ve kilolon,. 'equivaTent to the power of 5,000 tons of TNT. That is about one-fourth the force of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in World War II. This would he the first blast in the AEC "Plowshare" program, which has as its objective the evolution of peaceful uses for atomic explosives. Preparations have been under way since March 19T0. The test will be designed as "Gnome." The shaft was built over the past year at a cost of a million dollars. ' Asked whether other Gnome tests were planned, the kVX spokesman said it would depend upon what scientists find out in the initial blast.

Morton proposed building a string of large roadside public fallout shelters in conjunction with highway construction as a means of obtaining mass protection rap idly at low cost. He said shelter! could be built in areas of high population den sity, especially at interchanges. as well as along open highways. The proposal has gone to Secre tary of Defense Robert S.

It is also the month when Doug las County tax payers receive their tax bills from the Douglas County Assessor's office. In most cases, Leland Svarve rud Jr., county assessor, noted, tax bills showed a slight increase because of higher budgets in the many districts in the county. These districts include, school dis tricts, fire districts, sanitary dis- trict 4 had an increase in taxes i of $29.715.41 attributable to the aisirict I fcuugei lor isouk Svarverud said last year s budg- et for the district was offset by a cash accumulation which lowered taxes. ' This year taxes were brought Resolution Clear After Stormy Meet Se Picture, Pige 2 UNITED NATIONS, N Y. (AP Bolstered by a thumping 75-tO vote of approval from the U.N", political committee, dele ga'es pressed today for quick General Assembly action on an appeal to the Soviet Union to re frain from exploding a 50-megaton hydrogen bomb. Denmark, one of the eight spon sors of the appeal, asked that the General Assembly give top prior ity to the resolution which cleared the committee after a stormy day of Soviet opposition. Nine Votes Ageintt Only the nine-nation Soviet btoe and C'uha voted against the ap peal. Mali abstained and 15 na tions 10 of them from Africa were absent when the balloting took place. As support for the resolution mounted, the Soviet Union and its allies finally abandoned attempts to stall off the committee vote. But Soviet Delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin indicated the Kremlin would reject the appeal, asserting maneuvers by the NATO nations would not deter the Soviet Union from perfecting its defenses. Tsarapkin charged that in the past the Imted States had con- ducted tests of 15, 20 "and per- haps even 30-megaton bombs.' He asserted that the nations whs hacked the resolution calling on tne Soviet l nion not to drop the monster bomb had kept silent dur ing U.S. tests in the atmosphere. The resolution was sponsored by Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Iran, Japan, Norway, Pakistan and Sweden. During the debate, delegates ap pealed to Moscow not to touch oft the giant bomb Soviet Premier Khrushchev said last week prob ably would be exploded by Oct. 31. Sir Michael Wright of Britain accused the Soviet Union of be traying its partners in the nuclear test ban negotiations. He said the current Soviet test series is put ting the health and future of peo ple all over the world in dire peril. Ambassador Ralph Enckell of Finland, which lies next to the Soviet Union, said his government did not make a practice of telling otner nations what to do. "We are not taking a stand against anybody," he said. 'We are only speaking against the bomb. We appeal solemnly that this bomb not be set off." The Security Council meanwhile finally approved U.N. member ship for Communist Outer Mon golia and Mauritania, breaking a deadlock that had imperiled Na tionalist China's seat in the Unit ed Nations. Veto Threatened The Nationalists had threatened to veto Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union to veto Mauritania, but both lifted their threat. The applications of the two countries were sent on to the General As sembly, which is certain to admit them as the 102nd and 103rd mem bers of the world body. The deal admitting the two small nations was concluded after weeks of maneuvering, during which the Kennedy administration advised Chiang Kai-shek's regime that a repetition of its 1955 veto against Outer Mongolia might cause a number of U.N. member, to favor Nationalist China's re placement in the U.N. by the Chinese Communists. Nationalist China'! Tingfu S. Tsiang did not participate in the vote in the ll-nation council and the United States abstained. Mon golia was approved by vote of 94. The Soviet Union then lifted Its veto threat against Mauritania and the African nation was admit ted by a 9-1 vote. The United Arab Republic cast the sole nega tive vote as a gesture of solidar ity with Morocco, which claim! Mauritania. The Soviets ab stained. Docrner At Meet Commissioner Ray Doerner, rep resenting Douglas County, today is attending a meeting of the Urban Affairs Committee of the Associ ation of Oregon Counties. The session is being held in Sa lem. back up to a level proportional, to years previous to last year. Svarverud said the total county tax bill is $AR4,091.47 higher than last year's bill. Thus, most of the total increase is being borne in Roseburg'a school district. Rati. Changes One major change made in this year's taxing procedure is a chani.s in ratio of assessed to true rash valuation. It was raised from 23 to 25 per cent as part of a state wide uniform assessing program. Svarverud pointed out, however, that thia causes no fluctuation in the lax, because the budgets of th. taxing districts are prorated as they were before. "In other words, the share of the tax would be the same," he said. Total assessed valuation In the county went up primarily because I of the new ratio and because of i deferment factor used for the first itime on timber thia year, he con- 1 eluded.
