"PAGK 8 A HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore, Sundav, Feb. 7, 1960 Experts Say Reds Lead In Mars Race WASHINGTON (UPD Slate merits by U. S. and Soviet space experts suggest the Russians may heat America to Mars By two years. The Russians are putting a lot nt chips on the big rockets used In their now-concluded Pacific Ocean tests. Soviet academician A. A. Blag cnravov said in advance that suc cess of the Pacific program could mfke a shot at Mars possible this year. Another Russian scientist, Prof. V. Dobronravov, has been quoted as saying that big boosters like those used in the Pacific firings could launch recoverable satellites and send scientific instruments to the planets and back. The V. S. timetable, as dis closed last week by Associate Di rector Richard E. Horner of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, has no provision for a planetary probe before l'Jf2 The U. S. does not hope to ind really big payloads to Mars or Venus until its Saturn rocket is perfected as a three stage snace vehicle some time in late 1S63 or 1064. President Eisenhower said Moiv day he would ask Congress to in crease Saturn appropriations for fiscal 1JB1 by 98 million dollars to a total of 246 million. This will speed up Saturn's development by perhaps a year, but its first three stage flight test is still four or more years away. The Saturn booster will develop 1,500,000 pounds of thrust. The booster used by the Russians in (he Pacific tests may be of com parable power, according to some American estimates. Whatever it is, they have It now. It is flight-tested and ready for space missions. Russia's Tass news agency said it worked so well that the Soviets were able In complete their Pacific tests IS days ahead of time. The next favorable date for launching a probe to Mars is Oct. 1, 1960. . io 1 sr' f :L W MOTOR MAINTENANCE section of local National Guard Battery C gets instruction for repair of one of the guard's three-quarter ton trucks from Sgt. l.C.

Nixon Is quietly getting ready to draft his ?,own -farm program tor his ex- f peeled campaign as the Rcpubli- 1 Can presidential nominee. President Eisenhower plans In fend to Congress this week a wide-ranging program constructed on the recommendations of Secre tary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. While Nixon was consulted on broad policies, he had almost no hand In refining these proposals. However; he is certain to support them in line with his established policy of publicly backing all of the administration's suggestions to Congress. Nixon is well aware that Demo crats intend to make a major issue In the election campaign of crop surpluses, declining prices and dwindling farm income. Demo crats who now blame all of these on Benson s policies suspect the new program will be considerably less than satisfactory to them. Anticipating a battle in Con gress, Nixon is preparing to draft some proposals of his own. He will air them in Inter speeches, possibly before the Republican convention platform committee goes into action. To get a cross-section of agri cultural opinion, Nixon has hecli conferring quietly with a number of leaders in this field.

Tunnel Under Channel Hampered By Fund Lack PARIS (AP) The men whoi dream of building a tunnel under the English Channel will report next week that the project is tech nically feasible. If construction started this fall, trains could be rolling through the double-line railway passage within five years. The big problem is financial The estimated cost is 250 to 300 million dollars but the promoters believe Die money can be raised if the British and French govern ments really want the dry-land link first proposed in the 18th Century. The channel tunnel study group, which has been looking into the complicated scheme for almost two years, will make its first re port to the British and French railway companies, both govern ment owned, at a joint meeting opening Monday in London. If the railway administrations approve the plans, the next step will be to slart negotiating a treaty with the British and French governments. Financial experts are convinced that special tax con cessions are needed before they can raise the necessary funds. The financiers say this would Renaming Set For Roadway FREDERICK, Md. (AP)-In the busy 1920s a successful company decided to name a road in this storyland town of western Maryland. The Swastika Development Co. created Swastika Road. Houses sprang up along the road, families grew, and a world war came that dwarfed the civil war which gained this town its fame. But Thursday night the board of aldermen told the mayor no more Swastika Road would have to be renamed because of the conno tation of jNaziism and hatred. The sudden, definite decision springs from a bright morning several weeks back, when Fred- crick awoke to find crude, black swastikas daringly splashed on five buildings. REFRESHMENTS OLYMPIA, Wash.

The nationalized railways, which run the present channel ferries, both operate at a deficit and thus pay no profit taxes on either side of the channel. The backers may ask the gov ernments to limit the tax on pro fits to about 25 per cent. They believe this would make the proj ect attractive enough to raise the capital on international money markets. An inlernational consortium has received active plans for the tun nel. Participating are the old Suez Canal Co., a British-French cor noration which is 44 per cent owned by the British government; the French Concessionary Co. and the Channel Tunnel Co. Ltd., which actually started digging a tunnel in 1881, and an American financial group called Technical Studies Inc. Each group holds a 25 per cent Interest in the present venture. The plans are restricted to a railway tunnel for several reasons. One is the added cost required for both automobile and rail lines. Another is the problem of ven tilating a 36-mile tunnel 22 miles of it under the sea to remove automobile exhaust fumes. Then there is the inconvenience of auto breakdowns Inside the tun. nel. So trucks, buses and auto, would be loaded onto freight cars for the trip. French railway officials are en thusiastic about the possibilities. "It would cut the trip between the center of London and the cen ter of Paris to about four hours." a spokesman said. OSBORN HOTEL EUGENE, ORE. t J. E. Earler Jo.
