The Senate Tuesday night put the item in the bill, which will go to House-Senate conferees and the President. About half of the oil shale research expansion item would be spent at Rifle and the remainder at the Laramie, research center. Personnel from Laramie probably would be used on a part time basis for the Rifle work, it was learned. The Bureau of Mines has made no breakdown of the funds required in its budget for oil shale research in the fiscal year beginning July 1. The Senate approved an amendment by Sen.

The Coloradans said the approval from the Budget Bureau is going to Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, clearing the way for ultimate approval by Congress.

Plans call for the Pot Hook Reservoir in Moffat County in Colorado to store 65,000 acre-feet and the Savery Reservoir in Wyomings Carbon County to store 18, 600 acre-feet.

The Russians have four instrument ships posted around Christ- mas and Johnston Islands in the Padtfic to gather information about the American test series which began April 25 and now has reached about the midway point. -There is every, reason to.believe the Russians have Collected considerable data in the weeks their ships have been there. Although neither of the great nuclear powers says anything publicly about its own snooping operations, each has kept che check on what the other has been doing in nuclear test blasts over the years of the atomic weapons race.

The new Soviet series could come at any time in view of Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's recent declaration that the Ameri- i can experiments have forced us to renew our tests." Si The Russians normally test in remote regions or deep in the heart of the Soviet Union. The Russian tests last fall, it is known, were conducted above un- inhabited Novaya Zemlya, crescent-shaped island on the edge of the Arctic.
