Russia’s Animal - j
Launching 6Step
Toward Spaceman’
MOSCOW, OF — The Soviet
Union claims the flying menagerie
she lobbed into space last week
is the most powerful single-stage
rocket yet sent up from either side
of the Iron Curtain.
A leading Soviet scientist hailed
the Soviet feat of recovering the
two dogs and a rabbit safely after
their flight as “an important step
in solving the problem of space
flight by men.”
“It won’t be long now before
we see people flying into space,”
declared Dr. Grigory Khrush
chev, corresponding member of
the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences
over Moscow Radio.
Moscow Radio first reported the
launching of the huge two-ton
missile Monday, four days after it
went up. The nose cone and its
passengers separated from the pro
pelling rocket and parachuted
back to earth, returning the ani
mals safely, the Soviets said.
It was not announced whether
the propelling rocket had gone into
orbit around the earth or whether
it had burned up on returning to
the earth’s atmosphere.
Rocketing Civil War Train
Duel Depicted in Disney
Classic at Nomerama
The “General” and the “Texas,”
the two racing contenders in the
action-packed melodrama unfolded
in Walt Disney’s “The Great Lo
comotive Chase,” produced in
CinemaScope and Technicolor,
were almost identical in structure
and capacity. Theoretically, they
were evenly matched.
Both were built at Paterson,
N. J. The General went into serv
ice on the Western and Atlantic in
December, 1855, and the Texas in
October, 1856.
The speeds achieved by the two
on their famous 87-mile duel of
1862 are variously estimated to
have reached between 60 and 74
miles an hour — a pace no one
would attempt today, even with
modern equipment, on such a
winding track.
“The Great Locomotive Chase”
stars Fess Parker and Jeffrey
Hunter, and is to be shown at
the Nomerama starting this Fri
day, July 10.

Base cleared the crash area in
the interest of security and to

Khrushchev Tells U. S.
Governors ‘Friendship Is
Key To World Peace’
MOSCOW, (#) — Premier Nikita
Khrushchev told seven American
governors Tuesday that friendship
between the United States and the
Soviet Union is the key to world
peace.
Khrushchev said the Soviet
Union “wants peace with all na
tions, but above all with the big
gest and strongest — the United
States of America.
“If there is friendship between
us, there can never be war,” the
Soviet premier declared in a 3
hour and 45-minute talk in the
Kremlin with the U. S. state exec
utives touring the Soviet Union.
Khrushchev said if another na
tion started a war, the Soviet
Union and the United States to
gether could halt it.
“But if the United States and
the Soviet Union are ever in a
conflict,” he continued, “the re
sult would be terrible calamity,
because if we fight, no force on
earth could ever halt us.”

Grueiiing Proposes Yukon’s Rampart
Dam Project as Biggest in Hemisphere
WASHINGTON, UP! — Figures
comparing Rampart Dam, which
he proposes be built on the Yukon
River, with other power producers
were cited in a Senate speech this
week by Senator Gruening.
The largest single power gener
ating facility in the United States
up to now is Grand Coulee Dam
on the Columbia River, whose ca
pacity is 1,947,000 kilowatts. The
second largest in the Western
Hemisphere, which has had a good
deal of publicity in the past week
because of the ceremonies attend
ing the official opening of the St.
Lawrence Seaway, is the St. Law
rence hydro-electric power pro
ject, whose capacity is 1,880,000
kilowatts. When the Niagara pro
ject of the New York State Power
Authority is completed it will
have, at 2,190,000 kilowatts, the
largest generating plant in the
United States. A companion On
tario hydroelectric commission
plant at Niagara will be right be
hind it in capacity at 2,188,000
NOTICE OF HEARING
Notice is hereby given that the
Common Council of the City of
Nome, Alaska, has, at its regular
meeting of June 22, 1959, fixed
the time and place for a hearing
upon the Petition of the Nome
Telephone Company for a change
in rates.
Such time and place are as
follow.-:
Thursday, July 9, 1959, Council
Chambers, Nome City Hall, 8 P.M..
or as soon thereafter as the matter
may be properly heard.
All persons wishing to be heard
may appear at the time and place
aforesaid.
kilowatts. These two plants on
the Niagara will then rate Nos.
1 and 2 in the hemisphere.
All of these would be dwarfed
by the Rampart Dam. Its esti
mated capacity of 5 million kilo
watts would represent power
greater than that from any other
two power producers in this hem
isphere, and slightly larger even
than that of a huge plant now
being built by the Russians at
Bratsk, which, when completed,
will be the largest in the world.
The Bratsk dam on the Angara
River in Siberia will have a capa
city of 4.5 million kilowatts.
