. 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.

start in spring if it is green when
it freezes in the fall.

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.

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.
