CHICAGO (AP) Actual and
potential export business firmed
wheat futures prices today on the
Board of Trade.
Formosa bought 1 million
bushels, (he first sale abroad in
more than a week, but it rejected
price oilers on another 2 million
Brazil also is expected in the mar
ket within the next few days for
about 5 million bushels.
Corn and soybeans were steady
to weak most of the time, oats
strong and rye mixed. In the soy
bean pit, where most of the lu
lures trading has been done re
cently, dealers said profit taking
apparently had caused the weak-
ness.
Road Money
Plan Mapped
By Congress
WASHINGTON (UPII - Con
gress studied a compromise plan
today which would solve the mon
ey shortage for the interstate su
perhughway network. But it would
slow down road construction dras
tically.
The plan calls for the issuance
of one billion dollars in short
term revenue bonds lo avoid an
impending deficit. To eliminate
long . range financing problems
work on tne 41,000-nnle system
would be curtailed sharply and
the program would be stretched
out.
The tax-writing House Ways &
Means Committee approved the
scheme 15 to 10 Wednesday.
The Eisenhower administration
strongly opposes the bond plan
The President appealed for a hike
in the federal gasoline tax, from
the current 3 cents to 4 cents
a gallon, to keep superhighway
construction going.
Other congressional news:
Viet Nam: A Senate foreign
relations subcommittee headed by
Sen. Mike Mansfield ID - Mont.)

' Khrushchev: Congressional for

over whether President Eisen
howcr should invite Soviet Pre

United States. Sen. Karl E. Mundt
(R-S.D.) said there was "nothing
lo gain" from a Khrushchev visit
at this lime. Sen. Henry
Jackson (D-Wash.) said he does
not see how such a visit "could
hurt us." Sen. Hubert H. Hum

Court Rules
On Red Issue
WASHINGTON (AP)-The U.S.
Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 opinion.
today upheld a finding by the Sub
versive Activities Control Board
that the U.S. Communist parly is
dominated by Moscow.
This means that the party, un
less today's ruling is reversed,
must register with the attorney
general as an agency of a foreign
power and must file reports of its
finances and the names of its
members.
, The court decision marks anoth
er step in a nine-year battle by
the government to require the
Communist party to register un
der the 1950 Internal Security Act.
Two previous rulings by the
board calling for parly registra
lion were returned by the courts
for further proceedings.
Today s opinion was written by
Chief Judge E. Barrett Pretty
man. Judge John A. Danaher con
curred. Judge David L. Bazelon
would have remanded the case to
the SACB lor further proceedings
In his opinion, Judge Prettyman
said in part that "the facts beyond
dispute are that there is a Com
munist parly in Europe, based
upon Marxism-Leninism, and
power in Soviet Russia: that our
present petitioner the Red
party, U.S.A.) was for years a
member of the Communist Inter
national, and its separation from
that organization was not accom
panicd by a repudialion, either of
objectives or of methods . . . and
that, save for that period of way
wardness,, it has never differed
from the program and policy of
the Communist parly abroad and
has always adhered lo that pro
gram and policy even in sharp
chances . . .

Shot At Mars
May Be Due
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A deep
space probe planned for Novem
ber may foreshadow a rocket shot
toward Mars next year.
Scientists believe they could
track a probe as far as Mars with
radio transmitting and receiving
gear now or soon to be available.
How close they could come to
Mars with existing rocket and
guidance equipment is another
matter. A miss of many thou
sands of miles appears unavoida
ble.
Still, a shot in the general di
rection of the red planet, when
it reaches a favorable position for
such an attempt on Oct. 1, 1960,
would provide a good test of long
distance communications over
planetary routes.
The National Aeronautics and
Space' Administration (NASA.)
would not comment on sugges
tions that a Mars shot may be
on the agenda for next year.
The agency had hoped to launch
a probe toward a nearer neigh
bor, Venus, when that bright
planet was in a favorable position
last month. But technical difficul
ties prevented, and Venus won't
be a suitable target again until
Jan. 13, 1961. .
Meanwhile, NASA is going
ahead with plans to test the feasi
bility of using solar power to run
radio transmitters and instru
ments aboard probes designed to
venture millions of miles into
space.

Missing Sword
Turns Up In
Art Pealers
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) An
ancient Japanese sword missing
since it was stolen in- a Tokyo
burglary H years ago was dis
covered by police Wednesday at a
San Francisco art dealer's shop.
The sword, valued at more than
$10,000, had been the object of a
worldwide hunt by Japanese au
thorities. It was finally found in
the possession of Albert S. Yam-
anaka, who said he bought the
weapon from a teacher for $300 in
1949 while serving in the U. S
armed forces in Japan.
The sword had been the only
Htem not recovered from the bur
glary of the home of Takakani
Mitsui, member of the prominent
Mitsui family in Japan. It had
been handed down in the family
from generation to generation for
700 years.
rouce said tne sword was
tracked down after . a Tokyo at
torney wrote Kurt Melchior, a
San Francisco attorney, that he
heard it was up for sale here.
The trail eventually led to Yam
anaka. The sword will be kept here un
til its rightful owners file a for
mal claim. No charges will be
brought against Yamanaka.
Rain Lack
Cause Probed
HORNBROOK Some persons in
the Hornbrook area maintain that
planes flying in from the direc
tion of Copco Dam to cloud for
mations in Hilt and Hornbrook ter
ritory are seeding the clouds and
causing rain before the clouds can
reach . the near-drouth regions.
Federal Aeronautics Administra
tion officials at the Montague and
Medford airports discount the
claims. Medford officials state the
only seeding in recent years has
been from the ground and much
later in the season. Pear growers
have attempted ' to break up
clouds before Ihey become large
enough to cause hail and damage
ripening pears.
Charles Yates, Klamath Nation
al Forest supervisor, said the Cal
ifornia Division of Forestry does
not seed clouds.
Cars Meet In
Accident
Stale police reported today that
a 1959 foreign car driven by Da
vid R. Vandenberg Jr., 29, 1406
McClellan Drive, was struck by a
pickup truck driven by Ronald
Phair. 19. 4850 Shasta Way, about
6:30 Thursday evening.
Officers quoted Phair that he
was attempting to turn left into
his driveway and was blinded
by the sun. He said he did not see
the 'Vandenberg car until the
cars met.
Both cars were damaged in the
right front fenders. The Vanden
berg car was towed away by a
wrecker. Neither driver was m
jured.
Police also received a report
that a hay truck had tipped over
and had caught fire just south of
the tunnel on State Route 58. De
tails were not available.
