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

days ahead of time.
The next favorable date for
launching a probe to Mars is Oct.
1, 1960.

Farm Slate
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice
President Richard M. 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.

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
