Al US. Students
 Defy State Dept,
 Leave for China

MOSCOW, R-Forty U. s. youths defied their government today and left for a forbidden tour of Red China.
 Just before the Moscow-Pei- ping trans-Siberian express train pulled out of Yaroslavosky sta ton, two Americans withdrew from the trip and two others said they might decide later to catch up with the group by flying to Peiping.
 Jake Rosen, New York, leader of the group and organizer for the trip to the Communist-Spon- sored Moscow Youth Festival, said he would go to Peiping by way of Kiev, where he would first attend another Communist sponsored youth meeting.
 The US. State Department had issued a strong warning that the trip might violate . the law This resulted in an anxious 215-hour meeting by the Americans early in the day. Several had been wa vering among the 46 who origin ally planned to take the express.
 The State Department told each Red China tourist Tuesday in a letter that their passports would be taken from them if they made the journey.
 The United States has no diplo- matic relations with Communist China and considers itself in a "quasi state of war" with the Mao Tse-tung government.

Navy Will Drop l8,OOO Civilians From Payroll

WASHINGTON, RAThe Navy announced today it will drop 18,0O0 civilians from it's payroll, the majority of them by Oct. 31.
 The Navy said this amounted to 4.6 percent of the current civ ilian work force totaling 389,717. The Navy was not immediately available to say how much money will be saved by the cut.
 An announcement said the ac@ ton was taken to hold spending for the current fiscal year within the $10.4 billion Navy ceiling set by the Defense Department. Sec retary Wilson has directed all services to trim civilian payrolls and take, other economy steps.
 The Navy said normal attrition will take care of part of the re- duction in it's work force.
 The Navy recently announced it will retire 60 ships from the active fleet before Dec 30 This withdrawal followed earlier de- cisions to retire Is ships of all categories during the next few months.

Alaska Statehood Predicted Inside
  Fifteen Months

WASHINGTON R-Rep. O'Bri- en O-NY), chairman of the House Territories Subcommittee, today predicted Alaska will be admitted as a state within IS months
 A decision to postpone a House vote on the statehood bill until the next session ''helps our case tremendously" in O'Brien's opin- ion. "The decision was made on the canny advice of Speaker Ray burn, who has informed me that he has changed his views on Alas kan statehood, and now favors it." O'Brien added.
 ''In taking the speakers advise, I assume full responsibility for what will happen. took that re- sponsibility as friend of Alaska, and as an ardent supporter of statehood for that great territory"
 O'Brien said when Alaska is admitted as d state i've will have set the stage, at long last, for breath taking boom on an area one-fifth the size of the United States.
 I am convinced Alaska, 10 years after statehood, will have a popu- lation of two million people," he said.

Canadian Stores
 Make 2-Way Gain With US. Currency

VICTORIA, B.C., R-An angry Victoria man says government liquor store and grocery were making two-way gain in dis counting US. currency last night.
 Clarence Dobbyn, the shopper, said he made a purchase at a liquor store. He noticed after he left he had been given some US. money in change.
 On the way home he tried to spend the money at par. He was refused parity at two small gro- cery store.
 At a, third, larger, store, he bought cigarets with Canadian dollar bill. He wis given some US. silver in change. \ When he tried to pay for an- other purchase with the Ameri- can silver he had been given in the liquor store, he said, he was told it would be discounted at five percent.
 ''Why should government liquor store get away with it?" Dobbyn asked. "They take it from the tourists and give it to us stu pid Canadians"
 He estimated stores charging five percent discount on US. coins and giving them out in change at par were making 10 percent profit over and above their regu- lar profit.

DEW LINE HAS SHOWN lOO%
 CAPABILTTY IN MANY TESTS
By ELTON c. FAY

POINT BARROW, Alaska, R- - The Distant Early Warning OEWO Line, 3,0OO-mile-long chain of radar stations guarding North Americas northern rim, has been operating in test for months and already has shown HOO percent" capability, says a ranking US. airman.
 Brig. Gen. Stanley Wray, chief of the US. Air Force electronic defense system, made the evalua- ton yesterday at a formal cere- mony marking formal delivery of DEW Line by the builders, the Western Electric Co.,, to the gov ernment.
 Unplanned Tests
 In the first public demonstra- tion to newSmen, the DEW Line station here picked up a USAF jet bomber far out over the polar sea as it streaked toward the warning system at more than 600
The Nome nugget., 1957-08-14

disclosed that in what amounted to unplanned tests, stations along DEW Line have spotted unidenti- fled aircraft, which later proved to be friendly planes far off their course or otherwise accidental visitors to the electronic search path.
 Wray also said a variety of tests have been taking place dur ing the last month of BAY jet bombers seeking to penetrate the line at high, medium and low altitude from various approaches out over the Arctic Ocean.
 Interceptors From Ladd
 In instances where friendly craft triggered the radar alarm, signal was flashed from Point Barrow to Ladd Field, 300 miles to the south, which sent up inter ceptOrS to investigate.
 Newsmen watched yesterdays demonstration in the darkened console room of a nadar station. They saw pinpoint of light on a luminous screen. As they entered the room, BAY was approach ing at 33,OO0 feet altitude from 40 miles out. It closed distance rapidly but meanwhile, a test message was sent flashing on it's way south for relay to Colorado Springs, Colo, headquarters of the Air Defense Command.
 The bomber was out of sight and soundless as it made it's first high pass over DEW Line, then turned back for low pass.
 Jamming an Alert in Itself
 Approximately 600, civilian em- ployes of the Federal Electric Corp. man the continent-spanning DEW Line stations.
 At a news conference, Wray also gave these answers to ques- tions:
 No Soviet planes "that we know of have been picked up by DEW Line stations on any kind of ra- dar. If enough tanning power was available" such jamming it. self would be a sign that an en- emy was operating against the system.
 Wray said present equipment is damn good radar; the best we have"
 Asked if there were plans to. spend more on improvement of DEW Line beyond the $500 mil lion estimated up to now, the general said, There are no plans at this time" but added that as speed and other performance of bombers improve that might be- come necessary.
 Bells Save Manpower
 DEW Line stations actually ring warning bell Audible sig nals sound to alert operators as a plane penetrates the line. This is in addition to a visual radar scanning system and photograph ing of radar image for sending detailed info to the Air Defense Command.
 Wray said the use of an audible alarm means a big saving in man power. Instead of the 600 men now manning the line, it would need 5000 if no audible system were used, he said.
