Washington HP) We lag
on satellites by default. We have
financed our own program with
peanuts.
We obviously wderestimated
for failed to understand Russian
progress and did not appreciate
the psychological-political effects
a Sputnik woulhave.
It would be hard to prove from
tlvrt, however, that we lag in

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

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.

Bevan Sees Balance
Of Power Unchanged
Beverly Hills, Calif. (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

as they can on ours."

The seven were convicted last
July of violating an injunction

other occasions demonstrated

her Bison bomber, much earlier

had stops and starts in its mili

Answers had to be found, and
to a large degree have been

Defenses had to be devised
against jet-propelled aircraft.
Tactical guided missiles and
smaller varieties of ballistic mis

had to be started on defenses
against long-range ballistic mis

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.
