The town may sutler another re cession sinular to one that began when three other hotels The Dunes, the Royal Nevada and the niviei a opened virtually at once last spring. Has Las Vegas overextended It sell? It Is headed for a costly bust? The answer to Las Vegas' iuturc lies In a series ot paradoxes. In the hotel boom Itself apparently is the? reason for the town s current business woes. Hotel owners, cab drivers, show men and dealers I talked to in this Rambling capital believe the re cent recession was not caused by "bad business." "They just opened too many ho tels at once." one hotel executive aaid. "There'll be more thinning out in December. The town needs a chance to absorb the new hotels and buns in more customers."

Oregon To Be Sold SALEM Wl The battleship Oregon, now a rusting hulk at Guam, will be sold for scrap be cause nobody wants her. This information was given to Hep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore) by Rear Adm. A. O. Mumma, chief of the Navy's Bureau of Ships. The vessel, famed lor Its dash around Cape Horn In the 8panish American War, was moored In Portland when World War n broke out. Then It was stripped and con verted to use as a barge, and ended up on Guam. Adm. Mumma said that since no one applied for the ship before the legal deadline of last July 25, the Navy can sell It. "After careful consideration of the various factors Involved," he wrote, "It has been determined to be in the best Interests of the gov ernment to dispose of the Oregon by sale for scrap purposes only. "Prior to the sale of the Oregon, x any parts of the ship, that are of historic interest will be removed for retention by the Navy or for loan or gilt to non-profit historical or educational Institutions."

Las Vegas is doing more business than it's ever done. The Sands is running at capacity." There are other signs of a slow up. but they are counteracted by more signs ol a rosier luture. The plushy hotels on the subup ban "strip" have hurt business in Ihe dime crap parlors in downtown tts Vegas where the less well heeled tourists nlay. Yet 60 feet of frontage on the main street sold for S130.000 this week, a lecord for the town. "You can't get a room in Las Vegas on weekends," one cabbie says.

Claim Russians On Woo Trend WASHINGTON (UP) U.S. offi cials warned Wednesday that Rus sian agreement Is part of a Soviet campaign to woo Western Europe away from the United States by "peaceful penetration." They said the Soviet Union failed to bully Western European nations into ditching the United States and now Is turning to persuasion. The only way to conduct such a suc cessful campaign, they said, is for Russia to appear reasonable and peaceful. The United States Is perfectly willing' to battle the Russians ib such a campaign. Officials feel sure America's Allies will not cut all ties with the United States just because the Soviets appear to be more reasonable than in the past. American officials stamped ten tative approval on yesterday's his toric agreement between Russia and West Germany to establish diplomatic relations. The State Department refused to make an official comment on the agreement pending receipt of full details. But most officials felt West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer had given up little in recognizing the Soviet Union.
