SOME OF THE SUPPORTS for the new South Si xth Street Viaduct over the Southern Pacific tracks begin to take shape as workmen construct the forms for the concrete, some of which has already been poured. The new viaduct it scheduled to be open for traffic by next fall, with final completion slated for late 1957. Ferguson Plans Said Complete Speculation Told About Soviet Tests WASHINGTON (UP) Official I sources speculated today that the new Soviet nuclear test means tne Russians are going all-out to per fect atomic warheaos lor long range ballislio missiles. Others said it proves the Rus sians have achieved 'atomic plenty." They are now, one well informed source said, building up whole family of atomlo weap ons" comparable in versatility to the larger U.S. nuclear arsenal. Such weapons include atomic warheada for everything that now uses high explosives artillery shells as small as eight Inches In diameter, a growing variety of missile charges, bombs of many calibers, land mines, torpedoes, and depth charges. RUSSIAN EXPLOSION The new Russian explosion was announced Wednesday night In London and Washington. It was part of a series of explosions which have been going on Intermittently since August, 1955. Although the United States has reported only five Individual shots in the series, informed sources said there may have been many more. Never before, since their first test In September. 1949, have the Russians been able to stage eo many tests in so brief a time. In stead of months, the gap between tests previously had been years. It was Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-Washi, a member of the Con gressional Atomic Energy Commit tee, who said the Russians appar ently "are developing a whole fam ily of tactical and strategic weap ons." ATOMIC WEAPONS Tactical atomic weapons are de signed for battlefield use, strategic for destroying vital city and in dustrial centers far from the fight ing fronts. Jackson hss said often that the Russians msy be ahesd in development of far-ranging mis siles which, with H-bomb war heads, could destroy entire cities without warning. Jackson and other members of .the committee were quick to point out that me Russians, despite propaganda talk of nuclear test bans, are tolling as hard as they can to build up the site and quality of their atomic stockpile. The Atomic Energy Commission did not say whether the new ex plosion, which occurred in the "past few days," was an atomic or hydrogen, device. It used the word "nuclear," which could be either.

Harris Ellsworth 4th District the original faradise In my letter last week I told of an effort I had made on the floor of tile House to Increase the appropriation for the employment of more field men by the Inter state Commerce Commission to help, speed up Uie movement, of railroad freight- cars and secure their fair allocation. The brutal truth Is that pitifully little actual ly can be done now to head off a serious enr shortage this year. The "too little and too late" policy of the big railroads has caught up with them and with us. The railroads now own 300.000 fewer cars than they did 20 years ago. The need of cars has sub stantially increased. Carloadings this year are eight per cent great er than last year. Last year 37,509 new cars were installed on the lines while 73,491 old cars were Junked. As of now J47.320 new cars have been ordered from the builders. At the present rate of construc tion, 4,000 cars per month, it will take three years to fill the present orders for new cars. But the pres ent rate of new car construction Is only a little more than one-J half the number of old cars now being Junked! That is the story. The outlook for this year Is depressingly bad. There is not so very much that Congress or Ihe government can do about It. About the only possi bility for improvement of, the situation Is to see to it that the cars the railroads own are used more efficiently. Some are now being used as storage warehouses. The federal government Itself is the worst offender In this. Hun- rlvpHv nf hny r-ari nrp nn slrilnES FORT KLAMATH For the,,,,.,,-,, lth .,lrn,c .r.

That battle was by no means settled when the Senate by a surprisingly large majority vot ed in favor of the flexible program. After consideration of the bill Is completed by the Senate it will go to what we call a conference committee. That group will con sist of the top five or seven men of the agriculture committees of House and Senate. The conference has broad powers being charged simply with resolving the differ ences between the House and Sen ate versions of the bill. That means really that the House and Senate members of the conference will write the language of the fin al bill. Each House has the right of final approval of the work of the conference but can do little about actual wording. I have no inside information on this but from reading the list of those Senators and Representatives who most likely will be members of the conference It looks as If a majority will be those who have battled most ardently for the 90 per cent rigid support plan. The House last year, by a very thin margin, passed this bill contain ing the 90 per cent provision. The Senate has favored the flexible plan) Even so the conference con ceivably could report the bill con taining the rigid support principle. The real big fight will come when the conference report comes to the floor of each House. From here on out anything can happen on the farm bill including, in my opinion, a final deadlock and no bill at all. often imitated . . . never duplicated This annual springtime event has become a highlight of the season here and Mrs. Elizabeth M.

A pen alty should be levied against tne offending railroads. I have introduced a bill In Con gress to give the Interstate Com merce Commission authority to take steps to prevent these prac tices, all of which hold up the proper and efficient movement of cars. The passage of my bill will not solve the car shortage prob lembut it would certainly help the situation. front Take It for granted! --ao ojocs i pelt ujmcrt HAS BEEN IMPREGNATE?
