Northern Skies This Week
LONDON I UPD One of the
world's best informed naval au
thorities said today that the Rus
sians will have an atomic subma
rine soon if they do not already
have one.
The expert, who asked that he
not be identified, said the Rus
sians have had an atomic subma
rine under development for some
time.
"It is a mistake to underesti
mate the Russians in navy design
or imagination,'' he said. "Any
thing we can do, they can do."
The Soviet Army newspaper Red
Star hinted Friday that Russian
submarines are capable of match-

ing the ' epic' under-thc-Nortli-Pole
voyage of the American atomic-
powered submarine Nautilus.
Red Star, referring to the Nau
tilus voyage, said "naturally such
a trip presents no problems with
the present development of science
and technology generally, and ship
construction in particular."
Observers said this is about as
close as the Russians have come
to hinting they have, or expect to
nave soon, an atomic submarine.

cal shaped Explorer IV next
week, Robert L. Boardwell, head
of the Oregon Moonwateh Society,
announced today.
The satellite will pass overt he
Northwest Tuesday, August 19, at
4:14 a.m. at an altitude of 84 de
grees in the northwest sky.
. Wednesday, August 20, the satel
lite will pass at 3:57 a.m.. at an
altitude of 83 degrees in the north
west sky.
It may be seen flashing across
the sky on Thursday, August 21,
at 3:39 a.m', in the northwest sky
at an altitude of 82 degrees.
Once again it will pass over
Oregon on Friday, August 22, at
grees int he northwest sky
All passings of Epsilon the
name given the satellite in con
junction with the current 18-month
astrophysical year will be in a
southwest to northeast direction.
The 80 - inch - long satellite will
pass over Portland at an approxi
mate altitude of G75 miles.
Boardwell said the satellite may
be visible to the unaided eye, but
added that optical equipment
binoculars will be sufficient
would give viewers a better view.
Times are based on the 40th
parallel and Boardwell cautioned
viewers to look ten to 15 minutes
ahead of the predicted times be
cause Portland is just north of
the 45th parallel.
State's Highway Rest Areas
For Safety, Engineer Says
SALEM (UPD State Highway
Engineer W. C. Williams an
nounced today that ' there had
been considerable comment from
both public and press relative to
the Highway Commission's pro
posed policy of constructing safe
ty rest areas at limited points
along the interstate highway sys
tem. -
In Oregon, the system consists
of U.S. 99 and U.S. 30 from Port
land east.
, Williams said he felt that a
statement of 'the national 1 policy
in this regard might give the peo
ple, a better understanding of the
proposal.
Anti-Rackets
Bill Up For
Vote Toddy
1 WASHINGTON MJPl) Conflict
ing predictions about chances of
the House passing the long-dor
mant labor reform bill today
came from congressional leaders.
Rep. Charles A. Hallcck R
Ind.l, former House Republican
leader, expressed doubt the Senate-passed
anti-rackets bill would
gel even a simple majority vote.
Democratic ladcr ohn W. Mc-
Cormack (Mass.) announced to the
House Friday night that the so
called Kennedy-fves bill definitely
would be called up for House ac
tion today. The measure cleared
the Senate bv an 80 to 1 vote June
17.
:The bill will be considered un
der a special procedure barring
amendments, limiting debate to
40 minutes -and requiring a two
third vote for approval.
But Reps. George S. McGovern
(D-S.D.) and Stewart L. Udall ID
Ariz.) forecast that the bill would
be passed when the showdown
comes. McGovern, a member of
the House Labor Committee, said
today's vote would give House
members their only chance this
year "to go on record on labor
reforms."
"I don't see how members of
either party can afford to vote
against it," UdaH declared.
iThe bill is an outgrowth of Sen
ate Labor Rackets Committee
hearings and is aimed at curbing
abuses by union and management
leaders. Its backers contend it
would safeguard union funds and
promote democratic practices.

4hnt Homier ham been hired by
the rnllrond to tame the town of
Ureal IMnfns.
KVI V... . ...
AT 7:30 in the evening Riley
Condor came out of his office. He
'looked over the big room and
saw Guy Tavenner preparing his
faro layout.
"Tavenner!"
Tavenner looked up,, frowned,
then rose and came across the
room., "Yes, Riley."
Condor took out his big gold
watch' and looked at it. "Find
your friend,. Tom Rosser "
"He's no friend of mine."
"Find him. anyway. At exactly
7:45 tell him to hurry over to the
livery stable and take .. look at
his horse." .,,
Tavenner scowled. , "You could
send one of the bartenders to do
that." ....
"I'm sending you."
It was in Guy Tavcnner's mind
to tell Riley Condor to do it him
self, but his courage wasn't that
big. He left the Pleasure Palace
and clomped to the hotel. . Rosser
was in the lobby, reading a St.
Paul newspaper. It was still
early and he went to his room
and waited five minutes.
Tavenner came into the lobby
at 7:42 and went over to Rosser.
! "Better ,.get .over to the barn
'and look at that-horse of yours,"
Tavenner snapped! . .
Rosser regarded him sharply.
"Why?"
"Because I'm telling you. And
now!"
: Rosser got to his feet, saw
Susar. coming down the stairs.
He hesitated, then turned and
went out ot the hotel. , 1 -1
In the falling darkness he
headed for the livery stable... He
aupronched it, his hand swinging
close to the butt of his revolver,
There was a light on inside the
stable ra dim lantern. ,:As .be
stepped into the open doorway
he saw by tho lantern.-light that
a body was sprawled on the floor,
The oldster who took care of the
stable at night. ;
It was a trap. : ,. '
ROSSER started to back away,
Then a horse in a stall whick
ered. A hoof stamped and a man
swore angrily. It was in Alexan-agave up," he said, disappointed,
der"s stall. Rosser's hand dropped
to his gun
A horse suddenly screamed a
scream of terrible anguish. It
continued to scream, although it
was momentarily cut off as
huge body thudded to the stable
floor,
Flon came out of the stall.
Rossqr recognized him even in
the ,dim light . . . Flon, holding
a dripping knife in his hand.
"Flon!" Rosser said hoarsely.
"The big gunflghter," sneered
FJon, starting toward Rosser. "I
just fixed your horse-rhamstrung
him." Deliberately, he threw
away his knife. "Gonna fight
me?"
For one awful moment Rosser
was sick, at his stomach, Then
something seemed to explode
within him. . He was. not even
aware :that he drew his gun, that
the explosion that, rocked ,the
livery stable came from his gun.
But Flon fas staggering. "You
you shot me!" he gasped.
Condor told me . . That was
as much as he. got out. He fell
forward on .his. face,, twitched
once or twice, then lay still.
People appeared in the livery
stable behind Rosser. He was not
even aware of them. He walked
stiffly to the stall in which Alex
ander lay. He saw what Flon had
done to the magnificent animal
and pointed his gun at the horse's
hepd. Ue pulled the trigger twice,
then came out of the, stall, . . j
Joe Leach grabbed his arm.
"Migawd," lie said. "You killed
Flon!"
"He crippled Alexander," Ros
ser said dully.
Leach looked into the stall,
turned back, shuddering. "Man'd
do a thing like that . . ."
;Johnny Honsinger came strid
ing into the stable. His gun was
in his hand. "Drop it, old man,"
h. cried. "Drop it, or try using
it!" . .
Rosser looked at the revolver
hanging loosely in his hand. His
eyes went up toward Honsinger,
saw that the young gunflghter
was tense, eager. He wanted to
kill Rosser. .-
Rosser let the gun fall from
his hand.
Honsinger came forward. "You
Then his eyes fell on Flon's body.
You killed him! "
"I killed him," Rosser said.
."You're under arrest," cried
Honsinger. "Throw up your
hands. V -
Moody did not like what he
saw in the young marshal's eyes
and come'toward Rosser.
Better surrender, Tom," ho
said ,q u i ck ly. "We'll get it
straightened out later."
Honsinger bared his teeth in n
wicked grin. iVMan gets caught
murdering somebody he general
ly: gets straightened out at the
end of a rope."
! ....
RC 1SER dozed fitfully through
the night. He heard mdvement
in the other room, talk now and
then- but no one opened the door
to his cell. ...
Finally, after an hour or more
of the sun peeking into the room,
the idoor was unlocked. Hon
singer sang out, "Rise and shine.

Rosser left the marshal's office.
with- Honsinger following him
closely. The street had only a
few people on it. Rosser learned
the reason as he approached the
"court" building. A crowd stood
outside and there were at least
50 people -inside; - - -
(To He l.onunueu) '
The engineer said the. rest areas
are : considered an essqntial , . part
of the interstate system, which is
designed to prevent accidents and
reduce fatalities .-..,
Most , fatalities are due ta..,hu-,
man error, Williams said, and a
substantial portion Is due to fa
tigue, drowsiness and monotony.
Rest areas at strategic locations
will permit motorists and over-the-road
truck drivers to stop,
rest and relax.
The main purpose of the rest
areas is for safety, Williams said,
and the toiletfacility features are
a minor part.
Williams pointed out that the
rest areas such as the one pro
posed between iSalom. and Port
land were not Intended for motor
ists driving, short distances but
for those driving long distances.
Neuberger's
Amendment
Approved
WASHINGTON IUPH The Sen
ate Friday night unanimously ap
proved an amendment offered by
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D
Orc.) to the supplemental appro
priation bill providing initial funds
for a three-year study by the Na
tional Outdoor Recreational. Re
sources Review Commission.
Neuberger worked with mem
bers of the White House staff for
an addition of $100,000 to the bill.
The Appropriations Committee
had omitted funds proposed by
the Budget Bureau to state the
program which would include a
state-by-statc inventory of .recrea
tional facilities and possibilities.
The Oregon Democrat said a
delay in providing funds until the
next session of Congress would
cut. four lo six months from the
time essential for a complete and
thorough analysis of recreation
problems.
Knowldnd's
Future Is
Clouded
By RAYMOND LAHR
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPD Bill
Knowland, Republican leader of
the Senate, is quitting soon to face
a' clouded political future in Cali
fornia, and most of the Senate' will
be sorry to see him go. -
; Many senators found it easy to
disagree with Knowland but few
of them ever had much doubt
about where he stood. They de
veloped a liking "for him even
though they found it hard to get
to know him.
Like most effective congression
al floor leaders, Knowland has had
a foot in each of the two camps of
his parly. His biggest headlines
came, however, when he spoke as
a conservative critic of the Eisen
hower administration.
More recently he has squared
off against labor leaders and
pressed for a federal law to guar
antee democracy in unions and a
state right to work law in Califor
nia. Whether this tack was politi
cally wise will not be known until
November when . Knowland will
in or lose the race for the gov
ernorship of California. He is now
the underdog.
Regardless of the political con
sequences, it could be taken for
granted that once Knowland had
cnosen ms roau nu wouiu suck 10
it whether it led lo Sacramento or
political oblivion.
It has been five years since the
late Sen. Robert A. Taft hand
picked Knowland, then 45, as his
successor to lead the Republican
side of the Senate. Knowland also
inherited Taft's role as chief
spokesman for the conservative
wing of the GOP, although' he had
been somcting of a Young Turk in
his earlier years.
Both Taft and Knowland were
less conservative than some of
their warmest admirers. They had
other qualities in common, too.
Both were tireless workers and
strong partisans, willing to do
their homework and unwilling to
disguise their no-nonsense feelings
with diplomatic niceties.
Knowland at first lacked the
sensitivity : needed . to calculate
what the Senate could or could not
be persuaded to do. But he
learned fast, even if he never .ac
quired the finesse of his Demo
cratic counti-i-pall, Sen. Lyndon I!.
