Troops Push Deeper Into Arctic Area WASHINGTON (UP The Army announced today that 3,000 troops are pushing toward the Arctic frontier with enough building ma terial to construct more than 50 radar stations and other sites on the continent's air raid warning net. The announcement, giving the first indication of the number of locations planned for the distant early warning (DEW) line, said the specially trained troops will unload more than 200,000 tons of construction material and supplies along the largely unexplored high Arctic coast line. The DEW line is a joint U.S. Canadian venture, being financed by this country, designed to pro vide four to six hours warning of approaching enemy bomber at tacks along the polar approaches to North America. Seven radar stations already are operating in the American seg ment of the line along the north coast of Alaska. Others are func tioning in Greenland at the oppos ite end of the net which in approx imately 3,000 miles long. Work now is beginning to fill in the large gap across the top of Canada. The Army said it has two task forces in the shipping operation. which must be completed by late September before polar ice makes further navigation impossible. One force left Seattle last month md soon will pass Point Barrow. Alaska, headed toward Canada's central Arctic areas. The other force, broken Into two groups, is jperating along the coast ol Baffin Island and northeastern Canada, having sailed from Norfolk, Va. The Navy, in a recent announce ment, described t h e northern novement as the largest Arctic iperation ever staged. The opera 'ion involves 117 hios carry iw supplies for the DEW line as well as Alaska and Greenland air bases. The Army forces have the task of moving the building materials and supplies onto the Arctic nhores under conditions ranging from murky tidal flats to rockbound cliffs. The rotary to be used in the Hampton butte test is that of the, Thomas Pike Drilling company. This is the same rig used in sink ing the hole earlier in the year near -Astoria. That also was Standard exploration test. It proved to be a dry hole. ' Of Humble Company The seismograph equipment moved through' Bend Is that of the Humble Oil Co., an affiliate ufj Standard of New Jersey, which has been engaged in surface work in the Central Oregon field for sev eral months. This, so far as known, will be the first seismograph equipment ever used in Central Oregon explor atory work. Included in the equip ment moved through Bend is some thing new in seismograph outfits, j It is a "thumper" a rig that drops i a heavy weight to the earth, lo set up shock waves that are reg- Istered on recording equipment. These' waves bounce from un-i derlying formations, to provide! geologists with information as to underground structures. Humble also moved a drill rig into the area, to sink shallow holes in which dynamife will be explod ed to set up reflection waves that Mil be recorded at the surface. Evans Wells Area Humble's first seismograph stud ies will be in the Evans wells area, about three miles west of the base of Pine mountain, an old fault block structure that over looks the Millican basin to the east. Evans wells is on the proper ty of Jack Shumway, Powell Butte stockman. , i Both Standard and Humble geol-i ouists. engineers and landmeni have been in the area for some time. Their yellow (Humble) and red (Standard) flags, widely scat tered over the area and reaching to the Cascade foothills west of Bend, mark stalious used in studies. The "thumper equipment brought into the area for the first studies ever attempted in a lava blanketed region was moved in from Texas. Two-Year-Old Found Alive COTTONWOOD, Ida.

Neutral Nations Group May Serve 'Evil Purpose' WASHINGTON (UP) Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said today the Neutral Nations Super visory Commission in Korea may be serving an evil purpose. He said that removal of the com mission or restriction of its activi ties would be desirable. Dulles also told a news confer. ence that he has seen no evidence from the Communists that progress can be made now toward unifica tion of Korea. In the recent Com munist calls for a conference on Korea he said the Communists have not indicated they are ready to accept an U.N. supervised elec tion to unify the nation. He said no progress toward unification can be made without that. ' Critical Situation The status of the supervisory commission has become increas ingly critical. South Koreans have been rioting, with tha blessings of their government, In an effort to drive the Communist Polish and Cr ch members of the truce Inspec tion group from liielr territory. The secretary was asked whether anything could be done about changing the supervisory commis sion, and Dulles, a lawyer, laid he I believed a doctrine which tha courts apply to contracts which have been frustrated should bo ap plied, tie called It the doctrine ol frustration but said wryly lt s dif-. flcult to apply In International affairs. Dulles noted one good sign In (lie latest Communist calls for a FAr Eastern conference to unify Korea. - He snid that was the Red statement that unification should be sought not by force but by peaceful means. Big Russian Army Dulles said Russia's decision to cut the size of lti armed forces ap parently means it recognizes the "peaceful purposes of the United States and its Allies." He warned thnt even after cutting Its forces by 640,000 men, Russia will have more men under arms than the United States. Nevertheless, lie said the cut apparently reflects acceptance of President Elsenhower's declara tion at Geneva that this country never will be a party to aggres sion." Informed sources, meanwhile, re ported that the United States has developed a two-stage plan which eventually would abolish the Ko rean Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission.
