R. in atomic development and intercontinental missies. They have one stout ally in Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington tate. As member of the Senate committee on armed services and the joint committee on atomic en ergy Jackson is in position to know as much as anyone in Con gress on the relative progress of the two countries in weapons de velopment. He has been sounding the warning that the Soviet Un ion may have the ballistic missile with a range of 1300 miles before the end of, this year, 1958. What is this missile? In a speech in the Senate a 'week ago ' Jackson dekribed it thus: "Ai you know. Mr. President, the Inter- continental ballistic mistlle ii the closeit thine, to an "ultimate weapon" that hat ever been projected. Conventional guided miuilet, such as our own Regulus or Matador, are merely unmanned versions o Jet air craft. They travel at relatively low altitudes and relatively slow apeeds. Detense against such ve hicles is relatively cany. But bal listic minllea are ominously dif ferent. They travel high in the ionosphere at 10 or 20 times the apeed of sound.

Thi nine members voted unani mously to approve the Multnomah Kennel Club's application to use a SO-acre farm tract next to the community east of Portland. , A number of residents, who turned up at the planning com mission hearing to protest, said they would appeal to the county court.

He told his news conference, in reference to a formal complaint from Russia, that the United States is "disposed to try to avoid the territory of any country which felt violent objection" to having the balloons overhead. Dulles said this would "not as a matter of right but as a matter of decent, friendly relations." The secretary said Russia ap parently was confusing deliberate ly or otherwise, the U.S. Air Force weather balloons with propaganda balloons launched by private anti- Communist groups in Europe. The United States, he said, has no control over such groups which he described as mostly composed of Iron Curtain refugees who want "to communicate with their fellows back home." Meanwhile, Communist Albania and China added their protests to Moscow's. They said the United States was sending explosive bal loons carrying photographic equip ment and propaganda leaflets over Red China and Albania. The charges were made in radio broad casts. On other foreign policy, Dulles reported: 1. He and President Eisenhower are taking their time about reply ing to Soviet Premier Bulganin's latest letter to Eisenhower calling for a 20-year friendship treaty. 2. The United States and Brit ain have-formally notified the Uni ted Nations they favor enlarging the Uj.N. truce force in the Middle East as a means of preventing re nevl of the Palestine war.

"I certainly would like to see such a meeting," Meany said. "I think labor and management through the AFL-CIO and the NAM can make a real contribution to better labor relations." Meany said the AFL-CIO would enter such talks "without any prior conditions" other than full recog nition that the AFL-CIO spoke for labor and the NAM for business. He conceded that differences over union shop-type labor con tracts, requiring workers to be un ion members, also could torpedo any meeting with the NAM. He said the AFL-CIO is willing to con cede an employe's right to work without becoming a union member if the' NAM would concede the right of workers to refuse to- work beside non-union employes. "The NAM seeks to make the right-to-work superior to the right-to-refuse-to-work," Meany said. iscopal " Bishop Leader Consecrated I ,picrure in Sec. 1, Page J.)
