Twining Says US. Air Power Is
 Ahead of Soviet Russia's in Quality

at this time.
 Twining said also that Russia might surpass the US. by 1860 if this country does not keep nov ing.
 Gen. Twining's report sounds encouraging" said Sen. Salton- stall R-Miss), senior minority member of a five-man Senate committee trying to judge the relative air strength of this coun- try and the Soviet.
 But Sen. Jackson D-Wash), who has maintained that the ad- ministration is proceeding too slowly to build up long-range striking power, said that he has some pointed questions to ask when Twining appears again be- fore the air power subcommittee
 There is no dispute about our being ahead today in air power,' y Jackson said. "The controversy is how we will stack up in 1858 1859 and ls60." !

Japanese Scientist Finds Evidence
 US. Tests in Bikini Area Involved
 Firing of Guided Missile or Rocket

, TOKYO, R-A Japanese scien- tist said today reported July 3 nuclear test may have involved a guided missile or a rocket car rying a nuclear warhead. A sci entific colleague disagreed.
 Japan weather bureau officials early this week said nuclear blast apparently had been set off July 3 in the Bikini Atoll testing grounds. The United States. which opened tests in that area in May and said they would con- tinue through June, has not con- firmed the reported explosion.
 Today, Kameo Ito, chief of Ja- pans Yamagata weather observa- tory, said he believed the report ed blast involved a guided missile or rocket. He said his opinion was based on his belief that the ex- plosion took place 35 kilometers t21.7 miles) in the air. The ac- knowledged altitude record for an airplane is 63,668 feet, slightly more than 12 miles.
 Ito quoted a theory on sound waves as the premise for his be- lief. He said it holds that sound waves between 6 and 20 miles in the air strike a barrier and are bounced back with their ampli- Jude and cycle weaker than if they had been started below six miles.
 Japanese weather bureau re- ports of a possible July explo- sion stemmed from atmospheric pressure waves 'conspicuously weaker" than any others record ed here in the present series of tests, bureau officials said.
 The Japanese weather bureau and other Japanese sources have reported that nuclear test explo- sions apparently took place in the Bikini area May 28, June 13, 26, and July 3. The US. Atomic En- ergy Commission has declined to confirm or deny that the tests took place on those dates.
 Ito's report was the first specu- lation that AEC tests might have involved missiles capable of car rying nuclear warheads. Some Japanese sources have said Sovi- ct nuclear tests in Siberia indi- cated they may have been launched by rockets or missiles.

Wargowsky's opinion.
Used BY Others

The evidence showed Mr.. Chud-
zinski was driving his own indi-
vidual car, and was headed to Ere
mont where he would drop off
some Turnpike mail and proceed
home. The croSsover had been in
stalled only some two or three
weeks prior, and Mr.. Chudzinski
testified he had used the cross
over several times before for the
same purpose, and was of the
opinion that this was the reason
for its installation, since it had
also been used by the Turnpike
maintenance trucks and also the
patrol when the patrol car was not
in pursuit and therefor not neces-
sarily an emergency vehicle.
The evidence was mcontradicted,
the Judges opinion said.
Mr.. Chudzinski was arrested by
Patrolman Carmean for alleged
violation of Turnpike Regulation
I'll prohibiting use of cross-overS
for all except emergency vehicles }
The arrest, said the Judges opin-
ion, was in accordance with a
letter dated March 10, 1856, from
the Project Manager, Ohio Turn
pike, which said in part:
''It should be clearly understood
at this time, if it has not in the
past, that Commission employees
operating Commission automobiles
on the Ohio Turnpike are not
exempt from adhering to the rules
and regulations for the control and
regulation of traffic"
The Judges opinion said: "The
said defendant stated he had nc
knowledge of any such letter al
the time of the arrest. Because oi
the doubt expressed in fhe quoted
part of the above letter, and be-
cause of the general use of fhis
cross-over as described above, This
Court did and does not believe
the rules and regulations of the
Turnpike were sufficiently clear as
TO this defendant in this instant
and therefore has found him moi
guilty"
He commended both the patrol
man and the defendant for their
courtesy and fine behavior in gen
eral before this Court"

When the original bids were
opened Feb. 2, seven contractors
submitted bids for the general con-
tract, six for electrical work, five
for heating and ventilating, and
five for plumbing and sewerage.
There was an exceptionally wide
variation. Low bids in each cate
CORY then totalled $712,119 while
high bids totalled 1854, $50. Accep-
tance of alternate bids would have
cut the total of the low bids to
$667 ,094 which was still far above
available funds and hence all bids
were rejected.
