Salem Urged
To Hike Parks
By 500 Acres
Acquisition of over 500 acres of i
land for parks in Salem has been
recommended by the Salem Pub
lic Parks Advisory Commission to
bring the city above the national
ly accepted standard. - .
The commission which is work
ing on a detailed report of areas
for parks asserts Salem is far
below other Oregon's "larser cities
in park facilities. Portland has 1.43
acres per 100 population. Eugene
1.83 acres and Klamath Falls 2.48
acres while Salem has only .32 of
an acre, the survey shows,
v Detailed information of the
commission will be released after
members have had an opportunity
to review the survey and submit
its recommenations to the city
manager and city council, .
Salem now has 140 park acres
for its 44,734 people according to
the survey and would need approx
imately 518 more to bring it up to
the percentage of Portland.
Nationally accepted minimum
standards for park facilities are
one acre per 100 population, ac
cording to the commission.

relations. . ; ' ' , ," - '
Nikitia Khrushchev, Soviet Communist Party chief, termed "of
fensive" one statement by Aden-
auer. After acknowledging mat
Nazi troops had committed atroci
ties in Soviet Russia, Adenauer
said Soviet troops had perpetrat
ed "certain acts" on German soil.
Khrushchev said he categorical
ly denied that and fejt compelled
to make his statement because an
"offensive" remark had been made
about Soviet troops. .
If 9,626 Germans, whom the Rus
sians assert were convicted as
war criminals, had not been able to
return home "Who is to blame?"
Khrushchev asked. "We didn't
cross theborder," he said.. "It was
not we who started the war.".
(Adolf Hitler breached the 1939
peace pact between-the Soviet Un

troops to invade from dismembered
Poland in 1941).

There has been talk of even
smaller calibers for atomic shells.
This speculation has included the
idea of bringing atomic firepower
down to the level of the infantry
man in a forward trench, using a
conventional mortar.
The range of the newst 4.2-inch
mortar is about 6,400 yards, enough
so that an atomic shell could be
used without endangering friendly
forces. However, those familiar,
with the miniaturization program
say that point in development is
still in the future:
Several 280-millimeter atomic
cannon outfits already are on sta
