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.

Observers who saw the Army's
intermediate range Jupiter leap
into the sky over Cape Cana
veral, Fla., Tuesday night said
it was one of the biggest missiles
fired there recently. 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.

Political Science Instructor
Discusses Russia at UN Meeting
The United Nations is an in
strument, and it is no better
than the will of the member na
tions, Miss Irene Blumenthal,
political science instructor at
the University of Oregon told
an audience in Medford last
night.
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-

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!

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.

Rode, chapter president. During

mation available on new wea

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
