Atmospheric Blasts
. Also on Agenda
Washington - IIP!) - The
United States plans to fire
n Polaris missile with a live
nuclear warhead from a sub
marine during the atomic
tests expected to start in the
Pacific this week.
Well-informed sources said
that a new type anti-submarine
weapon with an atomic
warhead also would be test
ed in an underwater shot as
part of the contemplated
tests.
The new U.S. tests, includ
ing atmospheric blasts, will
go ahead unless Russia
agrees to a test ban with ade
quate inspection. The U.S.
tests tentatively have been
set to begin Wednesday.
If the present plans are car
ried nut, the Polaris war
head and the antisubmarine
device will be, the first mis
sile - carried nuclear weapons
(psted by this country.
1.200-MiU Range
The Polaris missile has a
warhead equal In destruction
force to more than 500.000
tons of TNT. The missile has
a rang of' 1,200 miles, but
this will be greatly shortened
in the Pacific tests by explod
ing the warhead at a higher
altitude.
It was believed that
the
Polaris and underwater shots
may be the only two in the
series designed to proof-test
actual weapons.
The other tests in the at
mospheric shots are expect- ;
ed to be aimed at gathering j
knowledge on effects of nu
clear explosions, especially in ;
the area of missile defense.
There will be at least one ,
explosion under present J
plans, several hundred miles !
high. Scientists want to know
the heat, ionization, electro-j
magnetic and otner ertects oi
such explosions. They also
want to study in particular
the effects that ionized parti
cles would have on defense
radars.
Penetration Aid
Another purpose is to find
nut whether a nuclear burst
in space or high in the at
mosphere could serve as a
"penetration aid," blinding
warning radar and paving the
way for missile attack.
The first new American
test may be a hydrogen
explosion over Johnson Is
land, a dot of land about 800
statute miles from Honolulu.
Or it could be staged over
Christmas Island, a British
possession about 1,300 miles
south of Honolulu in the
South Pacific.

Fishing Good
i Fishing was good at all
lakes of area where trout
season opened over the week
end, according to a number of
I sources.
i Angling was described as
terrific and tremendous at
Howard Prairie lake where
slate police figured bags av
eraged six fish per angler. An
estimated 15,000 to 16,000
persons went to Howard
Prairie over the week end.
There were reports of fish
up to 19 and 21 inches caught
and a good number around 15
inches. State police figured
50 per cent of the trout were
over 12 inches long. A large
number of small fish were
caught.
At Hyatt lake, where fisi.
ran mostly around 10 inches,
bag limit success was esti
mated at 50 per cent.
Many Eastern Brooks
Good success was reported
from Willow lake, where a
lot of 10-inchers were caught,
and Fish lake where catches
were reportedly 50 per cent
rainbow and 50 per cent east
ern brook trout. Eastern brook
catches were surprising.
Large take of these fish was
not anticipated until later in
the season. Rainbow ran 10-12
inches and eastern brook
were reported up to 14 inches.
A lot of fish were caught
Saturday at Squaw lakes.
Sunday fishing was said fair
with trout running 10 - 12
inches.
It was pointed out today
that Emigrant lake is open to
trout angling along with the
others mentioned.

j Session Opens
! Moscow - ilfPIl - The newly j
, elected Supreme Soviet, Rus- j
sia s parliament, convened to
day in a session expected to
feature a speech by Premier
Nikita Khrushchev warning
the United States against re
suming atmospheric nuclear
tests.
The Soviet Tass news ag
ency said the two houses of
the Supreme Soviet the So
viet of the Union and the
Soviet of the Nationalities
met in separate sessions in the
Kremlin.
Stormy Applause
Khrushchev received
stormy and prolonged ap- (
plause from the deputies when
he showed up for the opening
ceremonies, Tass reported.1
The official agency said
I Khrushchev was accompanied ;
i by other government officials j
and sat in a special box.
j The meeting lasted an hour
'and the Supreme Soviet ad
Ijourned until Tuesday morn
ing following completion of
the opening ceremonies.
Khrushchev was expected
I to address the Supreme Soviet
Tuesday or later. Observers
predicted that he would
threaten counter-measures if
the American atmospheric
tests, scheduled to begin in
the Pacific later this week,
are carried out.
The principal business be
fore the 1,443 members of the
Supreme Soviet was to give 1
uuuci svaiii h wminiiouuii
Khrushchev as the
country s
leader and to nominate a new
government. No major chang
es were anticipated. The meet
ing was the first of the par
liament" elected for' a four
year term in last month's
elections.
Carelessness
Blamed for Fire
Carelessness, not arson, was
blamed for the fire Wednes
day afternoon at Table Rock
and Antelope rds., which de
stroyed a government surplus
warehouse, Sheriff's Deputy
Lee Rice said this morning.
"One of the county jail
trusties, who was working in
the area, had burned some
gra?s alongside the building
and thought he had put the
fire out," Rice said.
Deputies interrogated t h e
four county jail trusties who
were working on the newly
acquired county property af
ter members of the county
court said they suspected ar
son. Jackson county had pur
chased the 41 acres of govern
ment surplus property in Feb
ruary for a future location for
the county shops' headquar
ters. The fire had started about
4 p.m. Wednesday in the
northwest corner of the build
ing on Antelope rd., according
to witnesses.
The destroyed building, 76
by 240 feet, was empty and
had been insured for $10,000,
or 90 per cent coverage,
County Commissioner Crester
Wendl said.

Ranger Rocket
Poised To Hurl
Capsule at Moon
Cape Canaveral IUP1I A 10
story rocket was poised on the
launching pad today ready to
hurl a capsule into space for
close-up pictures of the moon
and to plop a smaller package
: of instruments on the moons
surface.
Scientists apparently licked
last-minute guidance problems
in the silvery AUas-Agena-B
rocket which will lob a
730-pound. Ranger-4 capsule
on a fiO-hour journey to the
moon.
Two Others Planned
The Ranger shot is the first
nf three major missile shots
planned here this week.
Standing on nearby firing
pads are a Saturn "super
booster" possibly the most
powerful in the world and
a Delta launcher that will
carry the world's first inter
national satellite into orbit
around the earth.
If all goes as planned, the
giant Saturn will be fired on
a "sub-orbital" trip 88 miles
into snaee and 225 miles over
the Atlantic Ocean Wednes
day in the second test of its
mighty 1.3 million - pound-
thrust engines.
Scientists said the 95 tons
of water to be carried in Sat
turn's two dummy upper-stages
may form the highest and
largest ice cloud since the
world began. If the weather
is clear on launch day, the
cloud may be visible for
scores of miles.
British Instruments
The international satellite
called "UK-1," was built by
the United States and carries
experiments developed b y
Great Britain. It is scheduled
to be launched Thursday to
study the ionosphere a sort
of reflective "radio mirror" of
ionized gas above earth.
A fourth U.S. space shot,
the maiden flight of the pow
erful new hydrogen-fueled
Centaur rocket, probably will
remain grounded for at least
another week.

Search Started
For Man's Body
Happy Camp - An intensi
fied search got under way at
noon today on the Klamath
river for the body of George
McLane, 55, of Happy Camp,
who drowned April 8 in Hap
py canyon.
I Sheriff Al Cottar was or-
ganizing the search today
since the minimum flow al
I lowed on the river started
reaching the area at noon.
Both Copco Number 1 and
Iron Gate dams started slow
ing down the flow during the
week end. The majority of
the flow is being held in the
Iron Gate reservoir, it was re
ported. The scene of the ac
cident is about 100 miles
downstream from the reser
voir. Pacific Power and Light of
ficials said today that the min
imum flow of 1300 feet per
second was reached at the
dam at midnight Sunday. Cot
tar told power company offi
cials that in the Happy can
yon area Sunday before a
substantial reduction was
noted in the river, that flow
into the river from side
streams was down. This re
duction will add considerably
to the possibility of finding
the body, Cottar noted.

Roll
One child pointed out to her
mother, "She even has a
punching bag."
And the child s mother re
plied, "Caroline's got to keep
in shape."
New Addition
The black and white punch
ing bag appeared to be a new
addition to Caroline's play
area, which was lenced off
for the Easter Monday Jam
boree. The egg rollers headed
straight for the area and look
ed longingly through the
fence.
Some even thought that
Caroline had a miniature golf
course wnen tney spotted
former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower's putting green.
The children attending the
so-called traditional egg roll,
which dates back to the time
of President Rutherford B.
Hayes in 1878, seemed lost for
things to do. They were given
the run of the beautiful green
rolling lawn. But trees, the
fountain. President Kennedy s
rose garden and the tennis
court were shielded from the
onslaught with green tempor
ary wooden fences.
Many Disappointed
Hundreds of children came
with empty baskets. Most of
them were under the impres
sion that the White House pro
vided the eggs that were to be
hunted on the lawn. Many
were deeply disappointed
when they found out they
were supposed to bring their
own.
One little boy shouted, "We
came here for nothin'."
One lady asked Maj. Ralph
Stover, head of the White
House police, "Where are the
eggs?"
When he explained that
they were not provided, she
replied: "With all our sur
pluses." But all was not lost for
those who came prepared.
Some boys even tossed their
eggs in the air to see if they
would "bounce."
At 11 a.m., 5,350 children
and adults had shown up.

Construction
Industry Goes
Into Full Swing
Contract Approval
Seen Automatic
Portland-lUPIt-Oregon's con
struction industry started
back toward full swing today
as striking carpenters return
ed to their jobs.
Much of the major construc
tion in the state was idled
since the carpenters launch
ed their strike last Monday.
The week-long dispute cam
to an end early Sunday when
representatives of the Car
penters Union of Oregon and
southwest Washington at ne
gotiations in Portland agreed
to accept a three-year con
tract offered by the Associat
ed General Contractors.
Must Be Approved
The contract still must bo
approved in a referendum
vote by the entire 12,000
meinber union membership
but this is considered aulo
natic. The agreement was, accept
ed after four days of hectic
negotiating between the union
and the contractors. Federal
Mediators George Walker and
Leroy Smith took part in the
negotiations.
The contract, which is ret
roactive through April 15,
provides for an increase of
20 cents per hour in wages
and benefits every year for
three years.
Other Changes
It also includes changes in
travel reimbursement and oth
er improvement.
Union representatives said
a referendum vote on the con
tract will be taken as soon as
one can be arranged.
The union s previous con
tract ran out April 1.
At the final bargaining ses
sion, a union spokesman said
pickets would be removed In
Oregon In the morning. There
was no strike in Washington.
Hatfield Appreciative
In Salem, a spokesman for
Gov. Mark Hatfield said the -
governor conferred with bom
parties and the federal medi
ators by telephone on Friday
and Saturday.
The spokesman said Hat
field appreciated that both
parties stayed at the bargain
ing table until a settlement
was reached.
Last summer a strike by the
Hoisting and Portable Engi
