Russians Step Up Rafeof Nuclear Test Explosions Washington (U.R) The Rus sians are stepping up their rate of nuclear test explosions on the eve of new U.S. H-bomb and atomic tests in the Pacific. The Atomic Energy Commis sion disclosed late Monday that the Soviet Union in recent days has conducted another nuclear test in their current series." Sixth Announcement It was ' the sixth U. S. an nouncement of Soviet weapons tests in the past eight months. This country will start its most extensive Pacific tes program later this month. An ocean area of some 500,000 square miles has been made off limits for un authorized persons, 8hips, and planes starting April 20. The possibility arose that be fore the spring and early sum mer are over the two nations will be simultaneously detonat ing their newest versions of his tory's most devastating weapons. Further Evidence The latest AEC announcement of Soviet test explosions fol . lowed by a day an Easter declar ation by Pope Pius XII that the nuclear weapons race is "sui cidal madness." The announcement was further evidence that the Russians are progressing faster than ever be fore in their development of new and different kinds of atomic weapons. Although the United States has reported only six Russian test shots in eight months, there have been many indications from foreign sources that the actual total is considerably greater.

Inferconlinenlal Missile May Soon Become Outmoded Washington (U.R) A U.S. intercontinental missile, which recently made a record-breaking 2,000-mile test flight, already faces relegation to the sidelines by more advanced missiles. Informed sources disclosed Monday night that the Air Force's Snark, a winged missile powered by a jet engine and hav ing intercontinental range, made the 2,000-mile flight over the Caribbean from a launching point at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla. May Stop Snark Defense officials disclosed, however, that consideration al ready has been given to stopping production of the Snark because of developments in far more ad vanced intercontinental ballistic missiles. But for the time being, they said, work will continue on the Snark along with a similar missile known as the Navaho. The present feeling is that the Snark and Navaho may prove useful as stop-gap weapons until ballistic missiles are developed and possibly prove valuable as supplemental intercontine n t a 1 weapons. The Snark is an air-breathing missile which travels within the atmosphere at about 60,000 feet and is believed to fly under the speed of sound. It is, in effect, a pilotless bomber. Controlled Flight A ballistic missile would be fired as an artillery shell is, travel into outer space and come crashing down on its target at more than twice the speed of sound. The Snark, built by Northrup Aircraft Co. in California, is be lieved to have a designed ulti mate range of 5.000 miles. Its flight over the Caribbean was made under controlled condi tions, the missile being neither fully loaded nor completely un der its own guidance system. It was sent about 1,000 miles down the over-water range, and then turned around by radio con trol for a 1,000-mile return trip. Ho Streetcar Tracks On Hawthorne Bridge Portland 0J.R Multnomah county commissioners said today they would proceed with ori ignal plans for construction of east side approaches to the Haw thorne bridge without including streetcar tracks. This followed an opinion from Willis A. West,, chief civil deputy district attorney. West said the county has neither authority nor statutory duty to provide track age facilities for the Portland Traction Company on the bridge and that the county also is with out legal authority to use county road funds for the construction. A storm of protest had come from the interurban users when the county first announced that the tracks would be eliminated from the new construction. Some questioned the right of the commissioners to discontinue the runs across the bridge through the remodeling project.

(International Soundpkoto) Superintendent of Crater Lake Tells Parks Plan for Buildup Thomas Williams, superinten dent of Crater Lake National park and the Oregon Caves, was guest speaker Monday noon at the Jackson County Chamber Commerce weekly roundtable session in the Jackson hotel. Williams showed colored slides of numerous scenic and historic areas to illustrate a recorded speech on "Mission 66" by Con rad L. Worth, director of na tional parks. Mission 66 is a plan now being considered by Congress to im prove and expand the nation's parks to accommodate the in creasing number of visitors. It was pointed out that the total of park visitors increased from 21.7 million in 1946 to 50 mil lion in 1955. Eighty million are expected by 1966. Projects Planned The program would include such projects as doubling camp ground capacity, improving em ployees quarters, improving roads and trails and strengthen ing fire protection. Worth said the national park service will seek the help of private enterprise in developing more lodging and dining facil ities both inside and outside the parks. He explained that about $67 million will be needed to start the program and bring parks up to standard. This amount would increase to about S83 million by 1966, then gradually taper off. After showing the pictures, Williams said that the depart ment of interior appropriation bill has passed the House of Rep resentatives and items for na tional parks were left in tact; $381,500 for Crater About $381,500 of the fund would be used at Crater Lake National park for campground, road, trail and similar improve ments. Among Crater Lake park im provement plans is an under ground approach to Memorial, the observatory inside the crater. This observatory would be en closed with glass and heat would be provided. Williams added that most of the work at Crater Lake would be put under contract. He said that each year about 80 per cent of the total visitors to Crater Lake arrive in July and August. The national park serv ice has been encouraging more off-season use of parks, and Wil liams stated that an effort is be- Floridans Hear Kefauven Views Fort Pierce, Fla. OJ.R) Ten nessee's Sen. Estes Kefauver laid his views on segregation be fore Florida voters today with a bid for their help in proving his claim that a southerner can win the Democratic presidential nomination. Kefauver flew to Fort Pierce for a civic club talk on the sec ond day of his three-day swing down Florida's populous east coast in his only southern vote getting contest this year with candidate Adlai Stevenson. He was scheduled to appear later in Lake Worth, West Palm Beach and Miami. Kefauver plunged into the segregation issue Monday night at Orlando, denouncing section alism and party dissension over the racial issue. He said he should not be counted out for the Democratic presidential nomination simply because he is a southerner. "As a southerner," Kefauver said, "it has often angered me to hear others set us apart from the remainder of the United States . . . because I have from the beginning of my career tak en what some refer to as the na tional viewpoint, I frequently hear I am not acceptable to the south. "This is political propaganda," he said.

Trend Upward The supervisor commented that the national trend for more park visitors has also been quite noticable at Crater Lake. He said, however, that this park is "at the mercy of the weather" and a cold, wet spring a year ago caused a slight decline in . the number of guests as compared with the total of visitors for the year before. The roundtable group discuss ed with Williams a possible plan whereby youths could be recruit ed during summers to work in national parks. The theory was that it would be a recreational experience for the youngsters and would ease a pressing park maintenance manpower shortage.
