' "Washington U.R Inter
continental guided missiles with
atomic warheads ' which will
flash 5,000 miles at speeds "up
to 9,000 miles an hour to hit a
target area with a radius of
about 10 . miles are being de
veloped for America's awesome
arsenal of weapons. -
Authorities disclosed Satur
day how the new weapons will
be more than 10 times as accur
ate as the German . V-2 used
against England in World War II
: and will have 25 times the
range. . -. - ;
High defense department of
ficials pictured these awesome
weapons of the futureno Indi
cation was given when 4hey will
be ready for use in outlining
an "authoritative report,'" within
security limits, on .progress in
the whole' guided missiles field.
At Pay-Off Slag f ,
, One of the officials asserted
that :"We; are today at a pay-off
stage in the state of develop
ment of the art that far exceeds
anythinaanybbdy known to me
has yet done." '-.-"
Warning that there is no "ab
solute superiority" over Russia,
he said the United States never
theless aims to stay "one jump
ahead" in both offensive and de
fensive weapons. i " y
On the defensive side, the ex
perts - contended 5 the Army's
anti-aircraft guided missile Nike
can attack planes fall the
speed," altitude, and maneuver
ing ability that "we have any
reason to expect to encounter."
Nikes are being installed around
major : American cities.
Using the missile ring around
the Capital as an example, an
official said that a bomber will
not be able to hurl an atomic
bomb at Washington without
coming within Nike range, that
did not mean no bomber could
get through and drop its weapon,
however. ? ri -i.
. When the Russians will have
an . air-to-ground missile that a
bomber could fire at Washington

ant Sherman Adams concerning
- the Talent project,' according to
. Paul Culbertson. ...... r :
Speaking Friday at the annual
meeting of the Fruitgrowers
League of Jackson County, Cul
bertson said that despite the fact
. that no funds have been budget
ed so far for the Talent project,
the Medford Irrigation district
'expects to get $1,800,000 in in
terest free funds by July-1 for
items including rehabilitation of
the district's ditch system. -,
The budget, as announced by
President Eisenhower last week
' in his. budget message to con

I Culbertson was elected presi
dent of the Fruitgrowers league
at Friday's meeting. He succeeds
er tables, soil moisture studies, of the First National Bank of
and others. Much of the program
was exploratory, and a portion
of it will be dropped to allow
concentration on the fields that
appear to be the most important,
Higdon said.
Another speaker was Jim Rey
nolds, who is r doing research
work ori the problem of stony
pit, a disease which infects pear
trees. Reynolds, working under
a grant from the Fruitgrowers
league, declared that the key to
the entire problem is locating
what 'he called an indicator
plant, or a. quick growing plant
which , would show symtoms of
the disease in a short J time.
Many projects, in addition to the
search for an indicator plant,
are being conducted, Reynolds
said. : , ' ;:"- ".

and locally, appears to be good.

adjustment has been . accomp
lished since 1953 with a mini

Raymond ' Reter, local fruit
packer and president of. the
Northwest Horticultural council,
discussed export of fruit to Eur
opean markets. He listed prob
lems facing American ' orchard
ists; including shortage of ' dol
lars in European nations, and
organized opposition to Ameri
can fruit by European growers.
Market Important ' "
It is important that American
growers recapture- this export
market which they held before
World War II, at least in some
measure, Reter declared. He
stated that recovery of this mar
ket would improve the domestic
situation. ' .- .... ., yv ."
A report on irrigation pros
pects for the coming year was
presented by Culbertson. He
pointed out that the snow cover
on five local courses was 'only

Herbert . H. , Lehman (D-N.Y.)
called on r the administration
Friday,, to, earmark revenues
from off-shore oil. leases for-: the
nation's schools. - ; i r -1 ,r
He told the Senate that In
terior Secretary Douglas Mc
Kay reported this week that the
government expects to get $6,
000,000,000 from the sale of off
shore" leases and royalties.
;' Lehman said such disposition
of the money would "atone in
part'? for. "the infamous . give
away -of the oil and gas de
posits within the so-called inner
continental . shelf." V :;':;'.'..; ,:.
Lehman has joined with Sen.

Air Defense ltisL:" '.
Meanwhile, the Air Force, it
was pointed out, is developing
the Bomarc air defense missile.
The Bomarc actually is a pilot
less' fighter plane designed to
reach out for great distances and
track down bombers. ' ; .
The defense department au
thorities, including" top scient
ists, did not entirely . share the
pessimistic view .'some public
figures have taken of defending
the . country against future ; in-J
tercontlnental ballistics missiles.
"If you ask me when we will
be able to counter it, that gets
to be a hard question," an ex
pert said. "But it isn't theoretic
ally impossible - to counter it."
-The United States, it was in
dicated, is working on at least
two varieties of intercontinen
tal missiles. One is the ballis
tics type that streaks out of the
atmosphere like r an artillery
shell at more than 12,500 feet
per second. The second is the
jet-propelled type that flies
slower but can be more accur
ately controlled all the way to
the target.' The latter will be
able to steer itself by the stars.
The aim is to h a v e these
5,000-mile plus guided weapons
strike within a circle about 20
miles in diameter. : "
No Test at Present' C '
This country .will not test one
of these missiles until "they are
accurate enough to deliver the
payload With a fair probability
into the target area," a scientist
said. ,
' Diplomatic and technical ar
rangements now are in progress
to set up a 5,000-mile 'missile
test range reaching from Banana
River, Fla., across the South
Atlantic . to British-held Ascen
sion Island.- This country ex
pects to fire missiles the length
of the course, it was said, but
they will be armed with test in
struments instead of warheads.

General- Robert Y. Thornton
said Friday he doubted if the
people of .Oregon; would, let the

appointive " instead of elective.
vj- His answer , followed an an
nouncement earlier that Sen.
Warren Gill, Lebanon ' Republi
can, was olannine to introduce
such a bill in the Oregon senate.
Favors Appointment -.
Gill said he believed the gov
ernor should " be ' permitted ; to'
hire his own lawyers and . that
his measure' was not aimed at
the only top state government
post held, by a Democrat. f
Thorton said the job was not
a matter of being a governor's
lawyer so much as being a peo
ples' Wwyer,if"i'':

keep this office independent

"The governor and the liquor
commission !f handpicked their
own attorneys to make an inves

attorney-general." ; f ;
Thornton termed such action
as "monkey business" because
the results of the probe have
been kept secret. ' ' ' . . -
