members of the US Congress jvere XmkSS rocket claim some labeling it propaganda SS such (D Mo) former Air orce secretary said in the jst Kremlin announcements usually turned out tobe fact The Canadian defense minister Mai Gen Randolph the Russians were ahead of the Aftest in development of an inter continental rocket Moscow radio said the missile can reach distant area without the use of strategic aviation which is at present vulnerable to anti aircraft result of the test proved the rocket may be fired at any se: lected area of the it said The United States has referred to such a missile as It is generally known in the West as ballistic the ICBM with a range of pntsl No other nation has claimed to have launched an intercont men al missile However Maj Gen Bernard A Schriever chief of the US Air orce ballistic missile program indicated last week that the Uni ted States has virtually completed the prototype of its ICBM The US Army has covered between 2000 and 3000 miles with rockets based on its Jupiter intermediate range missile VS Air orce has under production a jet powered pilotless but guided bomber the Snark which is considered able to travel from the Amer ican continent to major targets in Russia The Russian announcement said the Soviet government was forced to develop the ICBM to safeguard security because of the negative attitude on the part of the Western powers primarily the United States toward a positive solution of the disarmament prob The Soviet press published the announcement by the Soviet news agenev Tass without comment Moscow radio also repeated the statement with no adde comnjent It is customary in Russia to hold up comment on such major announcements for a couple of days The announcement gave no indication where the rocket was launch ed or where it landed Western observers speculated however that if the distance claims are correct the missile must have been sent up from European Russia toward a target somewhere on the fringes of Soviet Siberia Observers believed the rocket was fired without a nuclear warhead They saw no direct link between announcement of the successful test and the accompanying announcement of the resumption of nu clear weapon tests The announcement appeared to explain delay in replying to the West's latest proposals in the London arms talks It raised the expectation that Soviet delegate Valerian Zorin would follow through with a new disarmament advanced from a position of strength RINEHART Continued from Page On cessary functions of Recalling that the southwest northeast and northern turnpikes had been approved by a vote of the people Rinehart said he be lieved the Lawton pike bonds could have been sold at the same time as the northeast leg "it they had been pushed" Rinehart said he would recom mend proper enabling legislation for the southwest turnpike if elect ed governor prefer to keep my plans under he comment ed The state wouldn't lose any mon ey and a sound toll road program will tree tax money for other proj ects helping the so called free road the senator said Only last week Rinehart said Kansas was able to sell $195 mil jion worth of turnpike bonds at 14 per cent interest This is because of the enabling legislation they have passed he said In further plugging for toll roads the candidate declared thatwe can't raise gasoline tax any more: that would be ridiculous as we have the highest gas tax now Visit Tolitical While Rinehart's talk before the entire inh was labeled "non po his visit to Lawton wastage president today announced anything but that schedules for the opening of the He

tour of the state making speeches and form ing organizations in the various counties" Rinehart said Some 20 county organizations have already been formed he said ading that not too early to start since this is a big state and It takes a lot of time do cover Returning to campaign issues Rinehart said he would advocate a permanent financing plan for schools "so they won't have to go through one crisis after Would Cut Legislative Time "It's frustrating to school people tn try to plan for the future and not know what they can expect from one year to the next espe cially at the higher education iev el" he commented Rinehart said he also believes such a program would cut the leg islative session in half Rinehart emphasized develop ment of water resources as a means of stimulating the Oklaho ma economy He placed this in three categories conservation de velopment and navigation and said considerable study needs to be done to develop a sound pro gram He predicted that the Arkansas river development will bring navi gation in that area from Catoosa to ort Smith and the Mississippi river in 10 years "This could' mean untold wealth and economic development for that section of the state and what helps the eastern areas wall benefit the whole state" he said Water Means Welath Industry will boom when this river becomes navigable Rinehart said adding that Muskogee al ready is attracting important in dustries because of an abundant i water supply "Cities with lots of water to sell have lots of wealth those without water are less fortunate" he said Rinehart pointed to Louisiana as Oklahoma's greatest competitor for industry noting that it had at tracted $500 million in new indus tries recently because of naviga tion facilities Of this amount 80 per cent is concentrated in New Orleans because of port facilities and 20 per cent in the navigable parishes The rest are losing pop ulation he added Irrigation also was stressed by Rinehart ho noted that Oklaho ma had 40000 acres of irrigated lanH in 19S1 com oared with 221 000 three years later In Caddo county land that was selling for 575 an acre is now worth $500 an acre because of irrigation develop ment he said Repeal of prohibition will not be a campaign issue as far as Rine hart is concerned "If the people submit a pietition I'Ll put it to a he said As for reapportionment Rine hart stuck by his contention that this can be done only by a con stitutional amendment "The leg islature is just not going to do it" he added A member of the senate for 23 years Rinehart served as presi dent pro tern in 1839 and as floor
