Wednesday, October 23, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Jupiter Ballistic Missile Successfully Fired Washington W The United States seized the propaganda of fensive today in the Battle with Russia for space rocket suprem acy. It told the world it has suc cessfully fired a 1.500-mile Jupi ter ballistic missile "on target." It is the first time the Defense Department has ever given any material information on a mis sile shoot. The abrupt departttre from strictest secrecy which , marked other firings is an appar-1 : ent attempt to restore public j ! confidence in the U.S. missile I program as well as warn Rus sia of its capabilities. There have been some sharp I congressional attacks against ; '"unnecessary" U.S. missile se crecy since Russia launched an earth satellite with something believed close to an intercontin ental ballistic missile.

It is ex pected to set the stage for test firing the Vanguard missile which will attempt to launch a U.S. satellite next year. In its announcement, the Pen tagon witheld the distance flown by the Jupiter as secret. But it said: "The missile flew its pre- I cfriKoH pnnrco anH imnartpri in the pre-selected target area." Defense Secretary Kiel H. Mc Elroy previously has said there would be a speed-up in testing the Jupiter and the Air Force's Thor intermediate range missile to determine which one would be adopted for operational use. The testing is expected to take several months.

Miss Blumenthal, Russian born and educated both in Eu rope and in this country, spoke at a meeting of Medford chap ter, Oregon United Nations as sociation, at St. Mark's annex in observance of UN week. Miss Blumenthal said the charter of United Nations has proven sufficiently elastic to take care of all the changing needs of the organization and said "Don't underestimate the UN." Know Too Little The speaker opened her talk by pointing out that there "is no consensus about Russia among the so-called experts on the Soviet union and added "we know too little about what the leader in the Kremlin thinks. She spoke briefly of the basic precepts outlined in the early days by Marx and Lenin and said their beliefs had been de veloped into a "militant com munism" which enhances the power of the Soviet system. Pointing out that most nations strive to provide their people with a government which takes care of the normal desires, such as happiness, freedom and jus tice, Miss Blumenthal added that in the case of the Soviet union, this is not true. "The So viet union is not organized for the personal comfort of the peo ple," she said. "Their society is aimed toward combat." Miss Blumenthal said that since revolutionary drive has been such a powerful force in Russia for so long, it is now dif ficult to slow this force "with- NEXT PLY iOUTH JUST TAMED TS THE TOUGHEST T TRACK ON EARTH ! . ' Hfl That's the "track" scrawled across the map: 58,000 miles . . . more than twice around the world. Six years of driving crammed into 58 days by a brand-new 1958 Plymouth. Read below, see how it affects your future. When you step into an auto showroom and plunk down hard-earned cash for a new car, you've got a right to more than just surface beauty. You've got a right to a car that's going to stand up under the punishment of day in, day out driving. A car that can go on delivering new-car comfort and economy season after season. We designed the 1958 Plymouth to do Just that. But we didn't settle for endurance in theory. "We wanted proof. See that route outlined above? It spells out "Plymouth '58" across 37 states. We ran a new Plymouth one of the first stock production models to roll off the lines across the route three times to roll up 58,000 miles in just 58 days. That's 1000 miles a day! Here are just a few of the results. And even experienced automotive editors who were there when the Plymouth braked to' the final halt were impressed by the results of this extraordinary test. Total miles traveled: 58,000 Total days elapsed: 58 Number of brake applications: 37,551 Number of wheel revolutions: 47,732,000 Number of engine tune-ups: 6 And for all its punishment, the test Plymouth still rode, handled and looked like new. The figures above are just a few of the hundreds collected during this trip. Your Plymouth dealer will be glad to furnish you with lots more details. You'll be able to see and drive this amazing new Plymouth in a very few days. Wait for it. It's going to show you how much you can expect in a low-price car. And you can expect it only in Plymouth for '58! Coming November 1 for '58 out wrecking the train." Absence of Warfare Since the communist .policies are so incompatible with those of the free world, she said that "coexistence doesn't mean con sensus, but merely an absence of open warfare." However, she said cooperation in some spheres might be possible, but that the free world must never forget that communism has different goals. Miss Blumenthal said that while Russia had cooperated in forming the United Nations, that actually the leaders of the Soviet union had not been pre pared for what the organization would become. She said the USSR had believed that the UN would be a means whereby the great powers would band to gether to rule the world, and that they did not know it would be conceived as an organization where great controversies be tween powers would be argued and settled. She said the first case to come before the UN "shattered the Russian illusions" "and that ever since they had been endeavor ing to change the course of the UN, particularly in the issues involving Russia or the coun tries within the Soviet orbit. Miss Blumenthal traced the his tory of vetoes, non-participation and other means used by the Soviet delegates to block and impede the settlement of issues. The speaker said that Russia cooperates only when this brings about embarrassment for the UN, and particularly for the nations of the western bloc. Gives Examples Examples she gave of this were the question of racial dis crimination in South Africa, and the Algerian issue. She also charged that the Soviets use the UN as a means to persuade her people that Russia is really working for peace. Miss Blu menthal believes that the com mon Russian is opposed to fight ing and war, and said that his tory shows Russia has lost all the wars slie started, and wins only when she is attacked. Asked during the question pe riod if it might not be better for the western nations to strength en their own cooperation and perhaps even "throw the Rus sians out of the UN," Miss Blu menthal said there was much to be gained by having them at close quarters for negotiations and constant talk and argument. The speaker said the United States' foreign policy recently has been "badly coordinated," particularly in the case of the Middle East. Questioned about the probability of war, she said that "the Soviets have been .say ing reecntly that war is not ab solutely inevitable." Miss Blu menthal added later, in speak ing of the Turkish-Syrian situa tion, that "a lot of people are fishing in muddy water as far as this situation is concerned." Miss Blumenthal said the western bloc must work harder to bring the uncommitted na tions "to our side." Speaking of propaganda methods, the speak er declared that the "Voice of America"' is almost completely ineffective because of poor pro gramming and added that when the Russians listen to a foreign radio station they listen to BBC. ' She was introduced by George Rode, chapter president. During a business session plans were made for the annual collection of funds on Halloween by chil dren of the city for the UN chil dren's fund.

Contributions to Fund For Election Increase Cave Junction Total contri butions toward a special election for the Sucker Creek irrigation project now total $2,662, Clyde Broeffle, chairman of the Illi nois Valley Water Resources group, has reported. Amount needed for legal work and elec tion expenses is estimated at $3,000. About S120 was received last week, one check being sent from Hawaii by James B. Bren ner Jr., a commander in the Navy. Brenner owns 40 acres of land which will be included in the irrigation plan if a water dis trict is voted here. He had heard of the project through newspa per accounts. n Targ tions, Tuesday, night said the de partment had been making infor mation available on new wea pons within security bounds. But now the Canaveral range tests have "reached . a stage where certain additional infor mation may now be made public. The White House, however, made the final decision on giv ing out the information, it was learned. The President said Tues day night in New York he would go before the American people soon to try and strengthen their confidence in U.S. scientific abil ity and in the domestic economy. In other developments: The Sputnik continued to trail its rocket around the globe by 39 minutes. This was a 24 hour loss of nine minutes as the rocket picked up more speed. Rear Adm. Rawson Bennett, chief of U.S. Naval Research, said "it does not follow at all" that Russia has a perfect inter continental" missile simply be cause it successfully launched a satellite.
