There was no official announce ment, but the Federal Aviation Authority advised airmen to stay clear of the Christmas Island area effective 11 o'clock HST Monday night (5 a.m. EDT Tues day). Sunday night's rocket - borne shot over Johnston Island, with power estimated at five million tons or more of TNT, apparently was detonated at a record 400 miles in space. The estimate was made by sci entists who witnessed the huge fireball from atop 10,000-foot Mt. Halcakala on the Hawaiian island of Maui, 750 miles northeast of Johnston. Splash of Colors The high altitude blast created a brilliant splash of colors visible from Hawaii to New Zealand, a distance of 3,SO0 miles. It tem porarily blacked out trans-Pacific communications. However, there was some spec ulation as to whether the test could be classified as either a failure or a success in one sense. It was designed to knock out trans-Pacific communications for an extended period and some British scientists had forecast per manent disruption.

The high altitude shot was suc cessful in touching off verbal re actions from throughout the world. There were no official announce ments from either the Eastern or Western countries in Europe. How ever, reaction ranged from violent denunciations by the Communist world to expressions of regret in tho West that Russian tests had made It necessary. West German sources In Bonn said the test was undoubtedly in the interest of common Western defense preparedness. Moscow Radio denounced the blast as a "crime" committed by "American atom-mongers. Scientlsti and newspapers in Japan the only nation ever to suffer nuclear attack denounced the test as a "barbaric act."

Studies to be Orrird out are of the behavior of juvenile salmonids in reservoirs OH Exploration Ires Fishermen ASTORIA (UPD-Oregon fisher men declared here Monday night that oil exploration blasts may be heavily damaging fish life.

A series of fishermen testified. They said they were particularly concerned with what is believed to be a layer of partly fresh wa ter 12 to 36 feet below the surface containing plankton on which young fish feed. They said more research is needed to determine the harm caused by blasts at this level. .. Robert Rulisson, attending for the fish commission, said the agency will try to work out new experiments, using m i d w a t e r trawls and plankton nets, to re search the explosion areas. He said the Oregon State re search boat Acona also would make studies off the mouth of the Columbia this summer. The fishermen said they were unimpressed by evidence that the blasts do not have any effect be low 180 feet.

Thornton said today the record of his office is "again be ing grossly misrepresented, and for partisan political purposes." The Democratic nominee for governor issued a news release answering " what he termed "smear attacks" by Republican Gov. Mark Hatfield and Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr. At Bend Saturday, Hatfield and Ap pling sharply criticized legal opin ions from Thornton's office. Thornton said during his m the years as attorney general, Oregon Supreme Court has af- firmed 69.6 per cent of his de partment's cases, 1 modifying or reversing 30.4 per cent of them. This, he noted, is better than the record of circuit courts. During the same period, the high court affirmed 61.7 per cent of the cases appealed from the circuit level, he said. "If you were to take out the cases where political power or control in the state was at stake, such as the secretary of state dis pute, the Elmo Smith voters' pamphlet matter, the liquor com mission investigation case, etc., our 'batting average' would be even more impressive," Thornton said. "Several of the cases which we lost in the Supreme Court were cases which we had won in the circuit courts, but the circuit court decisions were reversed or modified by the higher court," ha added. Thornton said he made a sur vey of supreme court appeal rec ords, and found that circuit judgci appointed by Hatfield have been affirmed in 61.2 per cent of their cases, contrasted to the 69.6 per cent record of Thornton's office.
