Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Springfield, III. Adlai Stevenson, charging the Eisenhower administration with "callous political perfidy" in its farm record: "The Eisenhower record on broken promises to the farm is a record of callous political perfidy and the farmers know it." Washington President Eisenhower, denouncing the use of Russian troops, to quell the anti-Moscow revolt in Communist Hun ry: "The United States deplores the intervention of Soviet military forces which under the treaty of peace should have been with drawn." Vienna Helen Filitz, an Austrian tourist, describing on her return to Vienna from Budapest seeing Russian tanks firing on thousands of marching Hungarians: "I'll never forget that moment in all my Jife when the Hun garians with bare hands and without fear marched against the Soviet tanks. They died for the freedom of their country." Phoenix Elder statesman Bernard Baruch, discussing propo sals for an end to H-bomb tests: "The question goes deeper than the possible harmful effects of the fallout. It reaches into the question of stop making and ban ning the bombs, eventual world disarmament and establishment of a just and enforcible peace." Washington Test pilot Tom Attridge, 33, who flew a F11F jet fighter so fast it caught up with its own speeding bullets and shot iself down, disagreeing with the Navy's assertion it was a "mil-lion-to-one".shot: "At the speeds we're flying today, that could be duplicated any time."

Dr. William R. Parker, di lector of the foreign language program of the Modern Lan guage Association, cites the need for qualified teachers if the proper kind of language instruc tion is to be offered. Parker, writing in the Nation al Parent-Teacher, said the num ber of elementary school chil dren studying modern foreign languages is more than a third as large as the number carrying similar courses in high school. Parker said he agrees with those who favor starting the study of a foreign language while children are young. "Children in the early grades have the natural motivation and the natural lack of inhibition," he said. "They have a remarkable ability to imitate new sounds and intonations with amazing ease and accuracy. j "But thanks to our long ne glect of living languages in American education, they don't yet have enough teachers worth imitating." Texas produced 1,08,720,000 barrels of crude oil in 1955. Cleaner Hydrogen Bombs Mean Less Fallout, Reports Claim Editor's note: In the politiral eon troversy over the H-bomb, one point at issue has been the government's claim that it has developed a "clean er' bomb. In ,1110 following dispatch. United Press t Correspondent Joseph L. Myler explains what is meant by a "cleaner" bomb and reports on its development. By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Your gov ernment i says it is making "cleaner" H-bombs. But it has never formally con tended it ever will be able to produce a completely clean nu-J clear weapon, one that won t generate any radioactive fall out at all. The political orators of both parties haven't always made the essential distinction between "clean" and "cleaner." Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-lowa), for example, has been saying we have a clean bomb. Sen. Estes Kefauver, the Demo cratic vice presidential candi date, retorted "nonsense." The cleaner H-bomb does not, however, appear to be nonsense. Dr. Ralph E. Lapp, atomic physi cist turned critic of nuclear af fairs, accepts the administra tion's1 cleaner bomb claims. In his new book, "Atoms and Peo ple." he says: "Operation Redwing, the U.S. Pacific test in 1956, demon strated weapons with 'reduced fallout.' This means cleaner ex- perimental weapons were tested in which fusion (the H-bomb re action) predominated over fis sion (the A-bomb reaction)." Since atom fission is the ori gin of the radioactivity every body is alarmed about, cutting down the fission energy of a weapon in relation to its fusion energy would make it cleaner. But A-bombs are all fission and H-bombs all have a fission trigger, so there is no such an imal as an absolutely clean nu clear weapon. Perhaps the dirt iest weapon ever tested was the so-called H-bomb exploded at Bikini March 1, 1954. Uranium Jacket That bomb had a fission trig ger, a fusion charge, and a jacket of ordinary uranium which was made to undergo fission by fast neutrons from the fusion explo sion. It was a fission-fusion-fis-sion bomb in which fission, the dirty member of the team, sup plied most of the violence. To minimize disastrous local fallout, like that which dusted the Japanese fishermen in 1954, the trick is to explode big bombs miles high in the air. Fallout is thrust into the stratosphere where it spreads out over the globe for years. But to minimize global fall out, the opposite technique is in dicated surface shots which in tensify local fallout and so con centrate it on local targets. However much the H-bomb may improve in cleanliness as a result of tests, the fact remains that both the United States and Russia have stockpiled dirty bombs!

The Navy said an F11F super sonic fighter plane shot itself down last month by running into its own cannon shells. Proof of the accident was the discovery of a cannon slug in the jet engine of the crashed plane. The accident occurred Sept 21 when a test pilot was trying out 20-millimeter cannon over the Atlantic Ocean near Long Island by firing the guns into the ocean from a series of dives. The pilot was injured, but not critically. From an altitude of about 13, 000 feet, test pilot Tom Attridge put the plane into a shallow dive at a speed of about 880 miles per hour. Attridge fired one four-second burst from the four cannons, and then after a pause, fired another four-second burst. As he continued down in the dive, the bullet-proof canopy of the plane was cracked. Attridge thought Jie had hit a bird. He headed for an air strip near Cal verton, Long Island. Crash Landing Then the engine conked out and Attridge had to make a crash landing in woods a. half mile short of the field. Three shell holes were found in the crashed plane. In addKion to the canopy, the plane's nose had been hit and a cannon slug was removed from the jet en gine. Attridge, a 33-year-old ex- Navy pilot, suffered a fractured leg and three broken vertebrae and had to be hospitalized. mm k m Five-Day School On Police Subjects To Start Monday Law enforcement officers from Medford, Grants Pass and other communities in the Medford area are expected to attend a five-day basic school on police subjects beginning Monday, Oct 29 in the Medford city hall, according to Police Chief Charles Champlin. The school u being sponsored by the Oregon Association of City Police Officers and the Ore gon State Sheriffs' association. It is designed for officers who have not had formal training in police work. The Medford school is the third in a series of seven to be conducted throughout the state this fall. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Oregon state po lice, and the Portland, Salem and Medford police departments are providing instructors. Lt. Thomas W. Simmons, Port land bureau of police, will teach a class on the job of law enforce ment and the law of arrest. search and seizure; Lt. Lewis G. Johnson, Oregon state police, will instruct a class on the me chanics of arrest, basic use of sidearms, and defense . tactics; the Salem police department will provide an instructor for a class in report writing, foot and mo bile patrol and general police duties; traffic laws, traffic en forcement and public relations including the prevention of ju- enile delinquency will be dis cussed by Chief Champlin; and ne instruction of primary steps of crime investigation, investi gation of juvenile cases and court room procedure will be discussed by Max Taylor, spe cial agent, FBI.
