Experts do not think the coun try can be lapped while spend ing the kind of money this coun try is putting into missiles. Low Voltage Project. Though the U.S. program was announced with great fanfare it has been a low voltage project. It has not been allowed to inter fere with the missile, particular ly ballistic rnsile, program. It is not a military project as Rus sia's must be. For example, the Vanguard rocket thrust is 27, 000 pounds. The Air Force has just abandoned the Navajo in tercontinental missile which had a booster with 225,000 pounds of thrust and would have had 450,000 pounds in production version. Russia Has Power Sutnik shows that the Russians have the rocket power required for an intercontinental ballistic missile. While the government does not know, apparently, it is assuming that Russia also can guide and control an ICBM and knows how to get one back through the atmosphere without evaporating. All this does not show that TRONGER TIES Paris (IP) A transatlantic telephone cable will be laid be tween France anc Canada in 1959 and put into service by the end of that year, the French government announced today. An agreement signed last July included West Germany as a sig natory. The cable is designed to improve telephone service cur rently by radio between the two FjUropean countries , and North America. c, G O GO Qf the "Big Three" MY PLYMOUTH IMS PUSH-CUTTOf DRIUIUG CONTROL Dick Knight Co. tS Couth riverside at 8th St. Russia has leaped ahead of the United States in the field of mili tary missiles. The object of vir tually all American weapons ef fort is to be able to deliver nuclear warheads on targets and, more broadly, thereby to be able to prevent war by keeping Rus sia aware she would be de stroyed if she started one. Mili tary men do not think our posi tion has changed. The purpose of a military rocket is to carry a warhead the distance we want it to go and do it accurately. That kind of rocket power we have now. The same kind of power, used in newly - tailored vehicles can launch Sputniks if the govern ment decides to do so.

(IP) Aneurin Nye Bevan, 60, fiery leader of the leftist faction of the British Labor Party, says the bal ance of power has not changed despite Russia's recent scientific advances. The colorful Socialist leader, apparently the certain choice to become foreign minister if the Labor Party sweeps back into power, said at a press conference here Thursday: "With the Russians possessing npw weaDons and weapon car riers American cities are now on the front lines. However, British cities have been there for . some time. But the balance of power remains. Western allies are capaoie oi miiicung appal ling destruction on Russian cities, as they can on ours." KASPER FACING TRIAL Knoxville, Tenn. Deputy U.S. Marshals were ordered Thursday to bring segregation ist John Kasper from Washing ton for a federal court hearing Wednesday. Attorneys for Kas per and six Clinton, Tenn., resi dents will ask for a new trial. The seven were convicted last July of violating an injunction prohibiting interference with the integration of Clinton High school. Kasper was jailed sev eral weeks ago when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal on an earlier convic tion of violating the injunction. Bont fr again ed scientific program aimed at surpassing the United States in modern weapons. She has on other occasions demonstrated spectacular advances, notably her Bison bomber, much earlier than expected. During the post war period, the United States had stops and starts in its mili tary program. Answers had to be found, and to a large degree have been found, to the snorkel submarine. Defenses had to be devised against jet-propelled aircraft. Tactical guided missiles and smaller varieties of ballistic mis siles had to be developed. Work had to be started on defenses against long-range ballistic mis siles. All that has taken money and scientific manpower. The Russians, being reason ably certain the United States Oregon Population Growth Said Faster Than National Average By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The latest report of the U.S. Census Bureau gives a reasonably attractive picture of O r e g o n's p o p u 1 a tion growth. In a nation al survey which showed some losing population and others gaining it so rapidly they hardly A- Kobt Smith know how to handle it, Oregon was found to be growing slightly, faster than the national average. The nation's population from April 1, 1950, to July 1, 1956, increased about 11 per cent, said the Census Bureau. Ore gon's population for that period went up 13.9 per cent from 1, 521,341 to 1,733,000. Moreover, Oregon's figures were not padded by heavy con centrations of military person nel station in the state, as were the figures for some states. The Census Bureau reported about 5,000 servicemen stationed in Oregon, which gave the state a civilian population of 1,728,000. Probably the more interesting picture in this latest census re port is that of the movement of the American people from one state to another, from one region to another. The overall picture, with some exceptions, is one of movement from the interior states located around the edge of the country. California attracted 1,686,000 persons who migrated from other states almost as many as now live in all of Oregon. Florida at tracted 791,000. New Jersey at tracted 325,000, compared to its interior neighbor Pennsylvania, which lost 279,000 of its resi dents. Oregon attracted 76,000 per sons from other states. Wash ington state attracted 75,000. Idaho lost 34,000 to other states. Wyoming lost 13,000 and Mon tana and New Mexico each lost 1,000 of their residents. New England and the south ern Atlantic coastal states proved the greatest exceptions to this trend. Only Connecticut of the New England states gained new residents. Massachusetts lost 138, 000 and Maine lost 60,000. As a region, the South, led by Arkansas, is losing many of its residents. Besides Florida, only Texas, with a gain of 179,000, attracted more new residents than is lost. FRENCH PARTY FORMED Paris (IP) A newly-formed ultra right-wing political party said today its avowed intention is to destroy the present regime in France and guillotine "traitors" if it comes to power. The new party the 14th in France is the Revolutionary Patriot Party founded by Jean Baptiste Biaggi, a turbulent right-winger. Formation of the party means the emergence of an extremist right-wing group which is the direct heir to the various n e o-Fascist leagues which plagued political life to ward the end of the Third Re public before the last war broke out. Migration losses were also suf fered through much of the mid west, by Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. The North central states, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, all gained heavily from migration. Only 11 states attracted more than the 76,000 persons who came to Oregon in this period. Even New York attracted only half that number. Besides Cali fornia, Florida, Texas and New Jersey alr.eady mentioned as big gainers, they were Arizona (206, 000), Colorado (124,000), Maryr land (220,000), Michigan (484, 000), Illinois (97,000), Indiana (130,000) and Ohio (379,000). Some Lose Ground Although many states lost great numbers to more attractive states, only Vermont, West Vir ginia, Mississippi, Arkansas and Oklahoma lost ground in their total population. In the others the continuing high birth rate overcame the losses due to deaths and migration to keep net population figures rising. Oregon's civilian population in this period changed as fol lows: 243,000 births plus 76,000 new residents by migration, less 92,000 deaths and 17,000 lost to the armed forces -for duty else where. The census report also illus trated what Sen. Richard L. Neu berger has been talking about when he criticizes the imbalance of military bases in the Pacific coast states. It' showed that as against the 5,000 servicemen sta tioned in Oregon, Washington state has 74,000 and California 414,000. would not start a war against them, can afford to drop produc tion or even development of any current weapon and leap on to a far more advanced thing. Russia Out to Win Race It seems obvious that the Rus sians deliberately set out to beat the U.S. satellite into the sky for political and propaganda pur poses. It seems just as obvious that our side, obsessed with the dry scientific nature of the gadget, lacked the imagination to sense the loss of face that would be in volved if Russia got there first. The scientists were all fired up, but the hard-headed people who handle $je budget thought of the satellite as just a scien tific toy with no practical value. The fact that the Russians put up Sputnik I early in October proves they were out to inflict a defeat on us. Early in the dis cussions preceding the Interna tional Geophysical Year, we told the Russians and other IGY peo ple we hoped to be ready to at tempt a satellite launching in October, 1957.
