Washington - (UPD -The.
House Space Committee as-j
serted yesterday that Russia
has a 12 to 18 month jump on
America in the life-or-death i
space race and that the gap is
widening.
It said it would take the
United States five years to
catch up, even if an all-out
program were begun immedi
ately. It added that despite
President Eisenhower's call
for a balanced budget, "bud
get pressures in the short run
should not be the primary
bas s for decisions on space
programs which involve the
very survival of the nation."
"Outer space is fast becom
ing the heart and soul of ad
anced military science,' the
committee said in its final
report for 1958. "It cannot be
over-emphasized that the sur
vival of the free world-in-
deed, all the world-is caught
up in the stakes.
'Bold and Dynamic
"Only a bold and dynamic
program employing the total
talents and the greatest
strength of the United States
and its friends is competent
to meet a challenge so over
whelming.'
Chairman John W. McCor-
mack, the House Democratic
leader from Massachusetts,
said in an accompanying
statement that his committee
in the last year has dealt
with "events which have re
cently changed the course of
world history and the devel
opment of civilization for all
time to come."
These changes can not be
forestalled, he said, "for the
growth of these forces is more
powerful than any political
government on earth."
No Specific Amount
The committee proposed no
specific amount that should
be included in the fiscal 1960
budget. It said it sought in its
report only to "discuss fac
tors which should shape bud
get decisions."
In the past the committee
has suggested that the budget I

Atomic Innards
For 1960 Flight
Washington fCPD A U. S
satellite with atom -powered
radio and instruments is ex
pected to go into orbit some
time in 1960, it was learned
yesterday.
But it looks as though it
will be at least another five
years before American satel
lites or space probes are pro
pelled aloft by nuclear rock
ets. . .
One atomic power plant for
satellite instruments is sched
uled for ground tests this
year. It probably will be
another year before it is test
ed in flight.
This project, called Snap I,
is being carried out by the
Martin Co. of Baltimore and
ThomDson Products for the
Atomic Energy commission
Two other atomic power
Dlants for running space in
struments are being develop
ed. They are Snap II and Snap
HI.
Meanwhile, testing of a
ground -based forerunner of
nuclear-driven rockets oi me
future has run into a slight
delay at the atomic proving
ground in Nevada. This gad
get is the Kiwi-A, a flightless
mass of machinery designed
to test operation of an atomic
reactor at the high power and
temperature required of a nu
clear rocket engine.
Kiwi-A is buttoned up on
the test stand. But tests sched
uled to start last month have
vasn lfrred until ' next
month while Kiwi's plumbing
is checked further.

2. Said "the greatest bene
fits of space development can
not even be predicted today."
It said the improvement in
weather forecasting possible
through the use of satellites
is expected, by itself to save
the national economy four
billion dollars a year.
3. Called for a "critically
needed review of scientific
education." It said "American
education (has) failed to meas
ure up to the needs of the
hour."
Tifan Unsuccessful
In Pre-Flighl Test
Cape Canaveral, Fla. - (UPD -A
cloud of smoke billowed
up from the Air Force's first
intercontinental Titan yester
day in the second unsuccess
ful pre-flight test of the na
tion's most powerful missile.
It was the second static, or
"hold-down" test of the Titan,
America's second ICBM. But
the huge weapon's engine was
shut down before it ever de
veloped the full power sought
in such tests.
Informed sources said the
test was not successful, and
that a third test probably
would be held before another
launching try would be made.
The Air Force tried Dec.
20 to get the first Titan off
the ground but a failure be
lieved to be a broken fuel
line hose caused an automatic
engine cutoff that halted the
launching.
PP&L Announces
New Facilities;
Gosi: $23,500,000
Portland-flJPD-Pacific Power
& Light company announced
Saturday the construction of
new transmission and distri
bution facilities for its power
system in 1959 will require
an expenditure of $23,500,000.
PP&L President D. R. Mc
Clung said the work repre
sents a new high level of con
struction for normal opera
tions of the company in the
five Northwest states in which
it has service districts. .
During the next five years,
he said, PP&L expects to ex
pend 100 million dollars for
transmission and distribution
improvements to its system.
McClung compared the 1959
activity with the all-time rec
ord 60 million dollars expend
ed during the past year, when
the company completed three
power generating plants hav
ing a total of 353,000 kilo
watts of capacity.
Completed and in commer
cial operation the past week
were the huge 56 million dol
lar Swift dam and its 204,000
kilowatt powerhouse on the
Lewis River in southwest
Washington; a third 45,000-
kilowatt generator at the Mer-
win powerhouse on the same
river; and, in Wyoming, a
100,000 kilowatt steam -electric
plant dedicated in Decem
ber. .

Federal Judges
Back Integration
In Three Cases
Atlanta-UPD-A federal judge
declared segregation at a
Georgia college unconstitu
tional yesterday, and inconv
ing Gov. Ernest Vandiver ask
ed that enrollment applica
tions for all units of the state
university system be suspend
ed. Vandiver, a 40-year-old law
yer who takes office Tuesday,
said he "suggested" to the
State Board of Regents that
registrars in all units of the
university system stop accept
ing applications "until such
time as members of the Board
of Regents have had an op
portunity to thoroughly study
the decision rendered yester
day. .
"I urge that the people of
Georgia and all of the offi
cials concerned not be stam
peded into hasty action," he
said in a prepared statement.
"The incoming governor and
the incoming administration
will exhaust every resource of
the state to sustain and to up
hold Georgia's way of life and
her sacred traditions."
Discrimination Practiced
Federal Judge Boyd Sloan
ruled that three Negro women
trying to break segregation
barriers at the Georgia State
College of Business Adminis
tration here were prevented
from enrolling by discrimina
tory practices. Shortly after
his ruling another federal
judge ordered Little Rock,
Ark., officials td proceed with
integration of a closed public
school.
The Little Rock school
board was ordered by Judge
John E. Miller to take "af
firmative steps'7 on its own
initiative to integrate Central
high school, closed since Sep
tember over the integration
crisis. Board officials declined
to say what steps would be
taken.
The two cases closed out a
week of significant develop
ments in the running civil
rights controversy.
"Further Instructions"
Following a ruling by Fed
eral Judge Frank . Hooper in
Atlanta Friday that local
transit segregation was un
constitutional, Negroes an
nounced a mass meeting Tues
day for the purpose of giving
"further instructions". The
Love, Law and Liberation
Movement which had pushed
the transit case said the de
cision meant "that we, as in
dividuals, will ride the buses
desegrated." '

Capitol Hill Leaders
Confident, Critical
On Various Issues
United Press International
Washington - Democratic
congressional leaders, confi
dent they have a mandate
from the voters, pressed
ahead yesterday with plans
for expanding some welfare
programs despite the presi
dent's call for budget-balancing
economy.
The first partisan clash
over spending apparently will
come over Democratic hous
ing bills to beef up federal
outlays for slum clearance.
Housing legislation is tenta
tively scheduled for early ac
tion in both House and Sen
ate. Democrats also plan to
launch new programs to give
economic aid to depressed
areas of chronic unemploy
ment and to help communi
ties build airports. Both meas
ures were approved by the
last congress but were ve
toed by the President after
congress adjourned.
It was too early , to tell
whether the strong economy
stand voiced by the President
in his state-of-the-union mes
sage might cool the ardor of
Democratic liberals for a wide
variety of other new spend
ing programs. These include
federal aid to education and
federal grants to help local
communities build public fa
cilities. Some legislators felt that
the heavily Democratic con
gress would not push for as
many new spending programs
as seemed probable last
month just after the Demo
crats had scored sweeping
election gains.
Washington - The chair
men of the two congressional
agriculture committees served
notice yesterday they firmly
oppose President Eisenhow
er's State of the Union appeal
for sweeping new legislation
to cut farm price supports.
Chairman Allen J. Ellender
(D-La.) of the Senate Agricul
ture, committee said, "there
seems to be a tendency to
beat down prices and I'm not
going to be for that. Eisen
hower wants to abandon all
pripe supports and leave ev
erything the farmer buys pro
tected." Chairman Harold D. Cooley
(D-N.C.) of the House Agri
culture committee said the
President's comments on the
farm problem "sounded as
though, he would again ask
Congress to lower farm sup
ports." That, Cooley said,
"would ruin the nation's
farmers."
The Chief Executive told
Congress in his State of the
Union address that he would
submit shortly his detailed
recommendations . for new
farm laws to reduce the gov
ernment's six billion dollar
annual outlay for farm price
supports and storage of sur
pluses. Washington - Chances yes
terday appeared good that
the heavily Democratic Con
gress would pass a labor re
form bill this year, but not
necessarily just what Presi
dent Eisenhower requested.
House Democratic Leader
John W. McCormack of Mas
sachusetts was out with a flat
prediction that the House
will approve an anti-racketeering
bill, probably along
the lines of the 1958 Kennedy
Ives measure which perished
in the last days of the 85th
Congress.
The Eisenhower adminis
tration was reported drafting
a stronger bill, including
more enforcement authority
for the Labor Department.
In his State of the Union
message Friday, Eisenhower
outlined in general terms a
four-point program to curb
labor - management abuses of
Off (mlo)
WIT
the type disclosed by the Sen
ate Labor Rackets Commit
tee: 1. "To safeguard workers'
funds in union treasuries
against misuse of any. kind
whatsoever.
2. "To protect the rights
and freedoms of individual
union members, including the
basic right to free and secret
elections of officers.
3. "To advance true and re
sponsible collective bargain
ing. 4. "To protect the public
and innocent third parties
from unfair and coercive
practices such as boycotting
and blackmail picketing."
Senv John L. McClellan
(D-Ark.), rackets committee
chairman, agreed in general
with Eisenhower's program.
Washington Southern
forces yesterday voiced satis
faction at the size of a first
round defeat for anti-filibuster
liberals in the Senate's big
rules change fighf.
Sen. John C. Stennis (D
Miss.) said he felt the margin
on the first test vote Friday
showed clearly that there
was support for the present
rules from many parts of the
country, and not just the
South.
Stennis said he was "great
ly encouraged" by the 60-38
margin by which the liberals
were beaten, although ' the
vote did not come on the ac
tual question of filibusters'
themselves.
Used to Stall
The filibuster has been
used on occasion in the past
by southern forces to stall
legislation affecting civil
rights.
The first test was a major
victory for Democratic Lead
er Lyndon B. Johnson of
Texas. It came on a proposal
by Sens. Joseph S. Clark (D
Pa.) and Clinton P. Ander
son (D-N.M.) for the Senate
to reenact all of its old rules
except the filibuster rule.
Johnson moved , to table-and
thus kill - the proposal and
won ,handily.
Mild Compromise)
Johnson is backing a mild
compromise to permit cloture
by a two-thirds vote of the
Senate membership actually
present. Another part would
spell . out that the Senate's
rules continue . from session
to session without having to
be readopted each time. ;
Washington - Senate 'Re
ublican Whip Thomas H.
Kuchel asserted yesterday
that President Eisenhower's
civil rights program may be
sidetracked unless the Senate
amends its anti-filibuster rule.
The Californian conceded
that liberal supporters of a
major rules change face an
uphill fight against the com
promise coalition forged by
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas.
But he said they had not
given up hope.
'The civil rights issue is
the key to this controversy,"
Kuchel told United Press In
ternational. "If we fail now
to amend the rules effectively
to prevent filibusters, the
very grave roadblocks to the
President's recommendations
still remain to be overcome."
The bipartisan liberal
forces were pinning their
hopes mainly on enough pro
civil rights sentiment build
ing up 'over the week end to
sway doubtful senators their
way before the next major
vote Monday.
The liberal group is push
ing a proposal, strongly op
posed by Johnson's forces, to
let a simple majority of the
Senate's membership or
only 50 - cut off debate after
15 days. The present rules re
quire two-thirds of the entire
membership.
