Honolulu (LTD The dead

firing of super long - range
Russian rockets into the Pa
cific and civilian planes and
ships gave a wide berth to a
45,000 square mile area 1,000
miles southwest' of Hawaii.
The Kremlin announced
plans to launch an unspecified
number of rockets into the
Marshall and Johnston Island
area favorite region of U.S.
atomic and hydrogen bomb
tests - during the Jan. 15
Feb. 15 period.
Vessels at Scene "
Three electronic - equipped
Russian missile - tracking ves
sels, shadowed by the U.S.
Navy, already had reached the
scene, giving rise to specula
tion the tests would begin any
minute. But there was no indi
cation from Moscow the tests
would actually begin today.
Japanese scientists stood by
their monitoring equipment
listening intently for a tell
tale radio signal that would
mean the huge rocket was in
flight, but so far there has
been only silence, UPI cor
respondent Leroy Hansen re
ported from Tokyo.
Few Details Given
UPI correspondent Robert
J. Korengold reported from
Moscow that the Soviet press
or Moscow radio might give
advance warnings of the fir
ing since such news often is
flashed abroad long before
Soviet citizens are told.
Moscow gave few details of
the gigantic rockets except to
say they would not carry a
final stage. It was apparent
though they were bigger and
more powerful than even the
rockets used by the Soviet
Union's successful moon
probes.

14-Year-olds May
Get Adult Cards
All 14-year-olds can now
use adult borrowers' cards at
the Public Library of Med
ford and Jackson county, Li
brarian Omar Bacon said to
day. "All youngsters in the ninth
grade and up can make good
use of books in the adult de
partment so we thought they
should have adult cards," the
librarian said.
Before, ninth-graders were
allowed to check out adult
non-fiction, and adult fiction
if it was for a school assign
ment. The ninth-graders or 14-year-olds
may be limited on
some fiction depending on the
judgment of the librarians, it
was explained.
