Nautilus Marks
Surge Forward
In U.S. Capability
Brings Russia Into
Range of Polaris
Washington (UPD The
submarine Nautilus Saturday
symbolized a great surge for
ward by the United States in
countering Russia's lead in
deadly long-range missiles
Adm. Elton W. Grenfell,
Pacific submarine command
er, hailed the Nautilus voy
age under the Pole's ice cap
as America s answer to Sput
nik."
The feat means that atomic-
powered subs and this
country alone has them so
far as is known could bring
most of Russia within missile-
firing range while operating
from under the Arctic ice
pack relatively safe from de
tection.
Russia has a wide and ac
knowledged lead over this
country in developing the
continent-spanning, 5,000 mile
range intercontinental missile
It boasts of having fully-op
erational ICBM's while this
country's equivalent, the At
las, is still in the testing stage
and not expected to become
operational until 1960.
Nautilus Replies to Khrush
chev Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev- recently made
much of this lead in trying to
frighten the United States
into pulling its troops out of
Lebanon. But the dramatic
Nautilus saga proved this
country's capability of taking
shorter-range, 1,500 mile mis
siles to Russia's back door.
All of the Soviet Union
spreads out like a great fan
below the Polar region.
The United States has six
nuclear submarines built, 13
more under construction, and
seven more authorized.
The Navy already has dem
onstrated that its Polaris mis
sile can be fired from a sub
merged submarine. This j
means that a craft such as
the Nautilus could approach
the Soviet Union under the
Polar ice cap, emerge and
fire from beneath open water,
then dart back under the pro
tective ice.
Greater Accuracy
The missile it fired, simply
because it would cover a
shorter distance, would be
much more accurate than the
longer-range ICBM.
Without an atomic submar
ine, Russia cannot match this
capability. Only an A-power-
ed craft has the ability to re
main under the Polar ice for
long periods and move under
it for great distances.
A submarine-borne missile
also has the great advantage
over a land-based missile such
as Russia is putting its great
est reliance on at present: The
former is fired from a launch
ing site which can quickly
"run," the latter must be fir
ed from a fixed base.

VA Asked
Hospital Thought
Representative Charles O
Porter has asked Sumner G,
Whither, administrator of the
Veterans administration,
Washington, D.C., to give the
proposal for a general med
ical and surgical hospital at
Camp White serious consider
ation.
In a letter to Whittier, Port
er said "general medical and
surgical care conveniently
provided and eliminating un
necessary travel makes good
since since the proposal hos
pital also would be available
to all veterans in the area, I
believe the Veterans admin
istration should, in all fair
ness, gwe tne proposed re
novation and utilization of fa
cilities serious consideration
now."
Porter pointed out that the
feaibility of establishing seri
ous consideration now."
Discussed at Hearings
Porter pointed out that the
feasibility of establishing a
100-bed hospital at Camp
White was discussed at recent
hearings by the committee on
veterans affairs.
He noted that "more than
60,000 veterans, who could be
served by such a hospital, live
in the southern Oregon and
northern California area." He
referred Whittier to testimony
given at the hearings, in
which A. Eugene Orr, Med
ford, a member of the Amer
ican Legion's national com
mittee on rehabilitation, re
viewed available facilities and
personnel to staff such a hos
pital. Orr "informed the commit
tee that ' there was adequate
staffing for a Camp White
hospital," Porter wrote! "He
has given the committee a
listing of doctors whose serv
ices are available, and he in
forms me there is no lack of
qualified nursing personnel in
the area.
"As you know, a hospital

at the domiciliary could be
placed in currently available
and unused facilities of the
domiciliary. There is no con
struction other than minor re
novation. The bed cost saving
would be substantial.
"I belive that persons in
terested in this matter deserve
a know why the VA does not
wish to take advantage of
these obvious savings. Mr. Orr
has collected valuable infor
mation in answer to the ques
tion previously posed by the
Veterans administration,"
Porter continued.
"I will appreciate having
your personal opinion on this
proposal, inasmuch as it in
volves a policy decision," he
said.

Drama Critic Impressed With Festival
Henry Hewes, 41-year-old
drama editor and critic of
the "Saturday Review" mag
azine, said Friday he was
"agreeably surprised" and
"much impressed" with the
Ashland Shakespearean Fes
tival. He singled out the compa
ny's devotion to its work, the
intelligence- of its direction
and some of its characteriza
tions, and the high quality of
its speech for special mention.
Hewes, who served under
the critic John Mason Brown
before taking over his posi
tion on the internationally
famous magazine three years
ago, arrived in Ashland
Thursday evening.
He had previously visited
the Shakespeare festival In

plet went into operation Friday morning.
The switch to the one-way couplet, Duff
reported, generally went well, although
there are yet a few "bugs" to be worked out.
African Airways
Viscount Crash
Kills 35 Persons
Benghazi, Libya (UPD A
Central African Airways Vis
count airliner carrying 54 per
sons crashed in flames early
Saturday in the Libyan des
ert hills six miles from Beng
hazi Airport. Airlines officials
said 35 persons were killed.
An official death toll issued
by the Central African Air
ways said four children, four
crew members and 27 adult
passengers were killed when
the four-engine plane crashed
on a flight from central Af
rica to London.
Some of the survivors were
reported seriously injured.
Among Survivors
Officials said the survivors
included Sir Alfred Savage,
former governor of British
Guiana, his wife, four infants
and the airliner's two host
esses. Sir Alfred is a "crown
agent" who -represents the
colonial governments i n
London.
Almost all of the 47 pas
sengers and crew of seven
were English. Injured surviv
ors were taken to the British
military hospital at Benghazi.
The big silver-and-blue tur
bo-prop plane left Salisbury,
Rhodesia, Friday en route to
London. It had stopped at
Wadi Haifa in the Sudan and
was just six miles short of
completing its next leg to
Benghazi when it crashed in
the hilly desert area.
The four-engined airliner,
which had been due in Lon
don at 11:45 a.m. Saturday,
burst into flames before the
crash, according to eyewitness
reports.
House, Barn Burn
In Reese Creek Area

Department officials said
they had not learned the
identity of the owner of the
house. The fire destroyed
the barn, house and two cars
before fire-fighting crews
could reach the locality.
Cause was faulty wiring in
the house, a department
spokesman said.
About three crews of four

Embassy Warns
Americans in
Jordan to Leave
$3 Million in Aid
Listed for Nation
Amman, Jordan (UPD
The U. S. Embassy warne
all American dependents Sat
urday to leave Jordan unless
they had an "impelling" rea
son to remain in this country,
An American embassy
spokesman' said the warning
was issued "in view of unsta
ble conditions in the area."
The advisory was circulat
ed by officials to all U. S.
families in Jordan connected
with the embassy, consulate,
aid programs, U. S. informa
tion service, charitable groups
and private organizations.
The warning came- as a sur
prise since the situation in
Jordan seemed to be settling
down.
Expected to Fly Out
However, most of the de
pendents were expected to fly
to Italy as soon as possible.
Italy was declared a "safe
haven" by the State Depart
ment. At the same time, the U. S.
Embassy announced it had in
formed Jordan that the coun
try would receive $3,830,000
in new aid. The money was
expected to allow Jordan to
release other funds to pay its
army at the end of the month.
The United States has given
King Hussein's government
about 60 million dollars in aid
since April, 1957.
'Precautionary Move'
In Washington a State De-n
partment spokesman said the
advisory to U. S. dependents
was a "precautionary move.
He did not indicate any spe
cific deterioration of the sit
uation in Jordan where some
2,000 British troops are sta
tioned to safeguard King Hus
sein's nation against outside
threats. But conditions there
have been a matter of increas
ing concern.
The Jordanian government
reported to the U.N. Security
Council Friday that armed in
filtrators had been caught
crossing into Jordan from the
United Arab Republic and
that Syrian agents .had been
captured in Amman.
The report also called atten
tion to terroristic bombings in
Amman and the capture of an
arms cache on the Syrian bor
der. Jordan did not request
any council action on the
report.

The decision to have Dulles

White House Press Secre

in Washington that the United

two main points: to achieve
some system of bringing po

to the tinderbox Middle East;
and to put forward proposals
that would lead to economic

Overcapacity
Detention quarters for ju

crowded beyond capacity last
week, according to Mrs. Kay
Crowell, director of the ju
venile office.
The new detention home,
with capacity for 12 young
sters, near the National Guard
Armory, has had eight boys
and three girls as occupants,
with another youngster ex

She -estimated ,five other
youngsters were being held

ward C. Kelly, who Handles
juvenile court matters, had
been on vacation for three
weeks. Circuit Court Judge
Herbert K. Hanna was filling
in for Judge Kelly but was
only able to hear one case,
Mrs. Crowell explained.
The crowded condition does
not indicate a rise in juvenile
offenses in the county, she
emphasized. Juvenile offenses
are down as they usually are
at this time of year. However,
lack of work for youngsters
this summer has indirectly
been responsible for three
youngsters being held in de
tention, she said.
"We cannot grind these
youngsters out, all straight

out sausages, she commen.-
ed. "It takes a long time to

Talent project workers
have been idle for a month,
ever since the Associated
General Contractors ordered
a state-wide work stoppage
July 10 to combat a strike by
operating engineers in north
ern Oregon and southwestern
Washington. The four major
contractors on the Talent
project are all AGC mem
bers. They complied with the
order soon after it was is
sued. '
Approximately $6,750,000
in construction has been halt
ed on this project. An esti
mated more than $400 mil
lion in work has been shut
down elsewhere in the state.
Despite the interest taken
by Gov. Robert D. Holmes
and other public officials and
despite the efforts of federal
mediators, the prospects of a
strike settlement still appear
remote. The operating en-,
gineers recently voted heavi
ly against acceptance of an
AGC "package" offer.
Meanwhile, Callan said,
some partially - completed
work was deteriorating. He
said the delivery canal would
require re-excavating and the
tunnels had been left without
lining. No vandalism has been
reported, however.
Two small bright spots he
reported were clearing work
around the Howard Prairie
reservoir and grave removal
at the Hill cemetey. Both,
being carried out by non-AGC
contractors, were coming
along "very nicely," Callan
said.
"There's always hope if
we get good weather," Callan
concluded. But his optimism,
like the tunnels, appeared to
be suffering from erosion.
Situation Disappointing
The overall situation was
described as disappointing but
not discouraging yesterday by
Federal Mediator Leroy
Smith in Portland.
A day-long negotiating ses
sion in Smith's office Friday
ended in a stalemate and was
adjourned with no time set for
renewal. Both the AGC and
the engineers stuck to their
previous positions on wages
and travel compensations.

Ministers Study
Hammarskjoldfs
Plan for Peace
United Nations, N.Y. (UPD
Diplomats from around the
world are gathering here for
a General Assembly debate on
the Middle East crisis sched
uled to begin Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Secretary Gen
eral Dag Hammarskjold's
broad outline for peace in
that troubled region has sent
foreign ministries into deep
study.
Most delegations were
guarded in their reaction to
the suggestions put before the
assembly by Hammarskjold at
the opening of its emergency
session on the Middle East
Friday.
Plan Outlined
The Hammarskjold plan's
main points:
1. Called for Arab reaffir
mation, in a solemn declara
tion, of mutual respect, non
interference and non-aggres
sion as expressed in the char
ter of the Arab league.
2. Suggested that a perma
nent U.N. force might be nec
essary to protect Lebanon's
independence and hinted at
neutralization of Jordan
through expansion of the U.
N. truce supervision's organ
ization's activities.
3. Proposed "proper insti
tutions" to oversee production
and pipelining of oil in the
Middle East and full and equit
able utilization of the area's
vital water supplies.
4. Said the fate of some
900,000 Palestine Arab refu
gees must await settlement un
til the Middle East is stabil
ized politically and economic
ally. Western delegates general
ly were hopeful that debate
could be conducted along the
lines Hammarskjold suggest
ed but some feared Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko would bog down the de
bate with name-calling and
accusations.
Gromyko Expected
Gromyko was expected to
arrive in New York todav
with a 30-member delegation-
He stopped in Copenhagen
yesterday to book passage on
a trans-Atlantic non- stop
Scandinavian Airlanes plane.
British Foreign Secretarv
Selwyn Lloyd, United Arab
Republic Foreign Minister
Mahmoud Fawzi and Canad
ian External Affairs Minister
Sidney Smith also said thev
would attend the session.
Arab quarters found Ham-
arskjold's speech a compre
hensive effort but complained
it contained no definite pro
posals. Israel Wants Plan More
Critical
Diplomats from Israel, for
years the central piece in the
Middle East jigsaw puzzle, felt
the plan should have been
more critical of the "expan
sionism", of President Gamal
A. Nasser's United Arab Re
public. Most diplomats, however,
praised Hammarskjold for
having spoken out at the start
of the assembly's critical em
ergency session with a key
note speech designed to pre
vent the meeting from becom
ing another propaganda ex
ercise. Forest Land to Be
