Girl Scouts Get
Help for Camp from Special in Series
Something Extra
Annual UMC Drive
(Editor's Note: This is anoth
er in a series of brief articles
describing the agencies which
benefit from the United Med
Ford Crusade fund drire, now
under way. Material Is sup
plied by the agencies themselves.)
During the four sessions this
summer at Low Echo Girl Scout
Camp more than 500 campers
participated.
Hiking was one of the out
standing activities with Marri-
ane Johnson from Sweden as
visiting director. The treks to
Lake Harriett and Mt. McLough-
lin as well as being fun taught
how Girl Guides in other coun
tries hike with maps and
compass.
Various crafts were taught
and badges earned for boating
and swimming. A balanced and
nourishing diet is a part of the
program and living and dining
together is a never to be forgot
ten experience for scouts.
Fathers are directly and in
directly aiding with the camp
too. The call went out last July
for workers at Low Echo Camp
and an enthusiastic group built
shelters, assembled boats and
readied the camp.
This year more than 615 girls
attended day camp at the day
camp site in June. They learned
camping techniques and outdoor
skills during the two week
period. The Brownies are en
gaged in learning the true scout
way and encouraging new re
cruits who will soon be joining
their ranks. ,
The United Medford Crusade
helps make it possible for every
Girl Scout to believe in, belong
to and build this great organization.

Of Tests Revealed
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) An atomic
scientist said today that "Russia
must have the Super."
He was referring to persistent
reports, never officially confirm
ed, that there was "something
extra special" about a series of
Soviet nuclear tests revealed by
the U.S. Atomic Energy Commis
sion a year ago this month.
By "the Super" this scientist
meant the kind of weapon tested
by the United States at Bikini
ir March, 1954. It also has been
caller the three-F or fission-fusion-fission
bomb.
It achieved notoriety because,
in addition to its destructive
power nearly 1000 times greater
than the ordinary A-bomb it
loosed enough radioactive fallout
to poison an area of 7000 square
miles.
This country maintains a mon
itoring network which tells it
when the Russians stage nuclear
tests, the latest of which got un
der way last summer and may
be still going on.
Unspecified Weapons
But the 1 commission seldom
specifies the kind of weapons,
whether fusion H-bombs or fis
sion A-bombs, the Russians are
testing. And it has never come
right out and said whether there
even is such a thing as the "Su
per" of whatever nationality.
It - is known, however, that
the Russians have exploded new
varieties of their H-bomb since
the last Soviet fusion test for
mally announced by the AEC in
August, 1953. A high U.S. of
ficial told the United Press that
they "have not been sitting on
their bottoms." , .
Whether the Russians tested
a super H-bomb last fall un
doubtedly is known to this coun
try if it was made anything like
the U.S. Bikini bomb. Japanese
scientists who analyzed fallout
particles from the American
weapon tipped off its apparent
three-phase nature. "
Their reports indicated it con
sisted of an atomic trigger, a
fusion charge, and a jacket of
normally inert uranium-238 fis
sioned by the fusion reaction.
In any event, the Russians
have been testing nuclear wea
pons since 1949. Starting with a
single-shot test program they
have worked up in recent years
to elaborate test series compar
able, informed sources have said,
to the multishot U. S. programs.
No Precise Score
It is impossible to keep a pre
cise score because the AEC does
not announce each individual
shot of a series. The best guess
appears to be that the Russians
have set off between ?0 and 30
nuclear explosions. The U. S.
score is at least 65.
The number of weapons in the
American nuclear stockpile has
never been officially disclosed.
Close obervers of the atomic pro
ject reckon the total at a fat
five figures. They guess the
Russian at four figures.
AEC Chairman Lewis Li
Strauss refused recently to dis
cus the significance of the lat
est Soviet test series, which start
ed in late July or early August
and was still going on as recently
as Sept. 24. He said only that
presumably the Russians were
aiming at "improvment of their
weapons stockpile."
But U.S. officials have learned
to credit Russia with being scien
tifically on an atomic par with
this country. As the scientist
said, , "Russia must have the
super."

Israel Tells US Of Need for Arms
Help To Counter-Balance Egypt
Washington U.R) Israel has
formally told the United States
it needs new arms aid to counter-balance
weapons Egypt will
get from the Soviet bloc, it was
learned today.
The notification came within
the past week.
Israel did not request specific
military equipment. But the
action indicated the Israeli gov
ernment will follow up its for
mal notification with a request
for new military aid.
Diplomatic sources said Israel
is convinced that only the
United States would be in a posi
tion to supply it with enough
arms aid to restore the balance
of Middle Eastern power after
a Czech offer of arms to Egypt
is carried through.
Furthermore, Israel feels it
help that the United States
would have to supply such arms
free or sell them on very liberal
terms. In the past the United
States has sold limited quantities
of weapons for security purposes
to Middle Eastern nations only
on a strictly reimbursable basis.
Apparently Israel is waiting
to learn details of the Czech
Egyptian arrangement before
submitting a detailed request for
weapons.
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles declined to tell a news
conference Tuesday whether the
United States would be willing
to supply Israel with arms to
balance Soviet bloc shipments
to Arab nations. Officials said
any decision most likely will de
pend on what kind of report
Dulles gets when Assistant Sec
would need so much military retary of State George V. Allen
returns from his vtrouble-shoot-ing
mission to Egypt next week.
Allen rushed to Cairo last
week for talks with Egyptian
Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser al
most immediately after Egypt
announced she would get arms
from Czechoslovakia in ex
change for cotton and rice.
