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.

To Present Play
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON
by Rep. 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-

The fight on the farm bill which
Is nearing completion In the Sen
ate .is between those who insist
on a rigid program of 90 per cent
of parity price supports and those
who favor the flexible support pro
gram advocated by the adminis
tration. 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.
