A ir Force B-52 jet bombers completed a 24,325-mile nonstop flight around the wor Id starting from Castle Air Force Base near Merced, Calif, and ending at March A ir Force Base near Los Angeles. The rec ord shattering flight, traveling at 525 mile s and hour, took 45 hours and 19 minutes. Circulation Worker Shows Decline Br NORMAN RUNNION Unittd Press Correspondent London (U.R) "This is ser ious," The Daily Worker warn ed. "This is no false alarm, it is grim reality." The British Communist news paper was talking about the drop in circulation. It could just as well have meant the status of Western European Communism in general. For a year, the Soviet Union has systematically if uninten tionally been shattering the ranks of Europe's Communist parties. First, it was de-Stalin-ization, now it is re-Staliniza-tion. The results have shown in mass resignations, in election results, in the sad financial traits of party newspapers and the freedom uprisings in Poland and Hungary. The Worker released no circu lation figures. But there is little doubt that its daily sale in recent months has dropped by the hun drers possible thousands. No official figures have been released on the circulation of the Worker or party member ship since Russian troops crush ed the Hungarian revolt. Party membership is believed Sanitary Authority Adopts Point System On Disposal Projects Portland (U.R) The State Sanitary authority Friday adopt ed a point system to determine eligibility of sewage disposal projects in the state for federal grants to aid them In solving dis posal problems. Oregon's share of the federal aid program will amount to $600,000. The bill, enacted by the 84th congress, provides for federal aid in the amount of $500-million over a 10-year per iod. Chairman Harold Wendel ex plained the need for setting up the point system to determine priority by saying, "we've al ready received applications for about twice the amount to be granted in Oregon." Based on Needs The point system is based on financial and water pollution control needs of communities, and upon their readiness to get chevrolet motor overhaul 1937 to 1954 REGULAR $116.05 Value WE WILL: Steam clean engine Install piston rings Install piston pins Grind valves Clean and reface rocker arms Adjust main & connect ing rod bearings Clean oil pump Clean oil breather Tune motor A GUARANTEED CHEVROLET MOTOR RECONDITIONING PERFORMED BY MASTER MECHANICS USING GENUINE CHEVROLET PARTS. COURTESY CHEVROLET 9th and Bartlett Sts. C.-r ocean ' ' of Communist Daily to have dropped below the 30,- ooo mark compared to 33,140 in the 1955 general elections. The same can be said of near ly every European Communi.'t party. The biggest ones in Eur ope the French and the Itaiis.-, are now showing it the most. If France is an indication then the Russians, with one brutal stroke in Hungary, will have done more to ruin their foreign compatriots' chances than anything that has happened in the past 12 years. The French Communist party has regularly been polling one quarter of the vote in French national elections since the war. But on the basis of returns in a Paris election last Sunday, this would drop to roughly one eighth it national elections were held tomorrow Although the Communists have polled as much as five million votes in nationwide elections since the war, the hard core. card-carrying strength is believed to be only one tenth of that. In Italy, the largest and most powerful Communist party this side of the Iron Curtain suffered one set back after another since de-Stalinization started last Feb- ruary. the projects underway. Per capita assessed valuation, total project costs per capita, de gree of sewage treatment requir ed and pollution abatement needs as related to communi cable diseases, protection of fish, protection of recreation, protec tion of agricultural 'and indus trial water supplies and abate ment of local nuisance condi tions will all be considered in the point system. In other action Friday the authority flatly told several meat packers In North Portland to stop dumping wastes into Col umbia slough or they would be shut down. Wendel said the plants in question were warned as long as three years ago the dumping would have to stop and last Tu esday was set as a final deadline for connection to Portland's dis posal system.

' - urn: Recently More than 500,000 of the partv faithful, mainly workers, have defected. The party itself ad mitted 30 per cent of its mem bers failed to renew their party cards. The same reports come from other countries: West Germany The Commu nist party was outlawed on Aug. 17, 1956. It's last overall voting strength was 607,000, or 2.2 per cent of the vote, in September, 1953. It is believed to have been still further on the decline be fore it was outlawed. 5.000 Reds Quit Austria More than 5,000 members of the 130,000 mem ber Austrian Communist party quit in protest over Hungary. Holland The Dutch Commun ist party has a hard core of an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 mem bers, only a small number of which have reportedly left the party since Hungary. But the damage is believed to be gi gantic to the party's estimated 250.000 fellow travelers. Belgium Party strength is be lieved to number around 10,000, all of them dedicated. Since the party was down to its hard core before Hungary, there have been no major resignations. Switzerland No concrete fig ures are available for the num ber of defections since Hungary. But many members have re signed. Norway Party strength be fore Hungary was estimated around 8.000 to 10,000. The nun ber of defections since is not known, although the party is now deeply split. Denmark Experts estimate that the Communist voting sirength has been reduced by 10 per cent since Hungary and party strength by one-third to 13,000. Sweden No prominent fig ures have left the party since Hungary but the indication of the damage may come in trade union elections next month. Finland The Communists are the third largest party in Fin land and have an estimated 60, 000 to 10,000 members. No re action to the Hungarian events has yet to come into the open. Chester England (U.R) The Chester Motor Club, which can celled its annual automobile race because of gasoline ration ing, decided Saturday to hold the event regardless of fuel shortages. Club officials said the "motorist" will race on bicycles. N .......

Phone 2-6115 B52 Crews Return To Castle AF Base Castle AFB, Calif. flJ.PJ The crews of two of three 652 strato fortress jet bombers which com pleted a non-stop flight around the world, returned to Castle Air Force Base near Merced late Friday. Brig. Gen. William E. Eubank Jr., commander of the 93rd Bom bardment ' Wing at Castle, , met the 18 airmen who made up the crews of planes Nos. 22 and 44 and praised them for their achievement. They began the record flight from Castle Wednesday. A crowd of about 500 persons greeted the fliers when they landed in a C47 from March Air Force Base near Riverside, where the globe girdling flight was completed. Dense fog forced a change in flight plans which originally called for the craft to return to Castle. A brief ceremony included a school band and honor and color guards for the airmen, who were wearing distinguished flying crosses awarded at March by Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command. The fliers then were reunited with their families. The crew of the third bomber, No. 11, which landed at March Friday morning, was flown to Washington, D.C., Friday night. Navy Considering Site In. Oregon, Idaho. Salt Lake City (U.R) A Navy spokesman said Saturday the Navy was considering sites in Idaho and Oregon as possible replacements for its proposed toss-bombing range over Great Salt Lake. But he insisted the Navy would continue to press for the contro versial Great Salt Lake site "with certain modifications" should the Idaho and Oregon sites fail to meet Navy training requirements. Plans to Remodel Hotel Announced in Seattle Seattle , U.R) Officials of Western Hotels, Inc., announced here Saturday plans to double the size of the Benson hotel in Portland by addition of a 14 story wing on a site now occu pied by the Oregon hotel. Western said a 99-year-lease had been signed with Paul and Mary Gold, owners of the build ing site, and the Oregon hotel would be razed to make room for the addition. The expansion would put the Benson in the 400 room category with the Multno mah hotel which is now Port land's largest.
