Russia Has Fired
 Four Longg-Range g
 Missiles Since June

WASHINGTON R-Russia was reported today to have fired at least four long-range ballistic missiles since June and to have fired more of shorter range over a longer time.
 Moscow withheld until last week any announcement of it's claimed successful test of an in- ternational missile. But bits and pieces of the information had been coming into Washington from intelligence sources since shortly after the tests started.
 Apparently the Kremlin's an- nouncement on Monday had been timed to make it a contribution to the fierce new Soviet diplomat ic offensive against the West. But only the timing was a real sur prise here-and presumably in allied capitals.
 Since the Russian announcement there have been solidly backed reports here that the US. Army believes it has ready for produc- ton a proven counterweapon-an American missile of shorter range which could hit key Soviet areas from advance bases.
 And there is every evidence of high-level doubt here that the Russians actually have a produc- tion model of a 5,OOO-mile inter continental missile ready for op- erational use
 Officials stress the difference between an experimental proto- type and an atomic warhead weapon ready for use.
 The big Soviet missiles in this summers tests were reported to have been launched from the northernmost part of European Russia, aimed eastward into the wild areas of East Siberia.

Immigration Bill Eases Restrictions But Denies Many Changes Asked

WASHINGTON, R-The Sen ate early today sent to President Eisenhower a bill to ease some immigration law restrictions, but denying him many of the major changes he had asked.
 The measure represented a compromise worked out by lead CTS in both Senate and House as a minimum bill that could be passed in the closing hours of the 1857 session.
 Some sponsors of the bill esti- mated it would allow the admis- sion of about 6O,OO0 aliens, in- cluding refugees from persecu- ton in the Middle East and from Communist tyranny.

complete absence of political problems furthering the principal of the group which places the church apart from politics.
 One of the most inspiring mo- ments of the meeting, stated Rev. Knudson, was when 100000 voic- es were raised in unison, and re- peated the Apostles Creed.
 Among the outstanding speak CTS were the 77-year- Bishop Dibelius of Berlin; Bishop H. Giertz of Othenburg, Sweden, and Bishop Hams Lille of Hanover; Bishop Lajos Ordass of Hungary and former prisoner of the Com munists.
 Part of the meeting was given over to a youth rally at which a 5,000-voice all-Lutheran choir of young people sang. The theme of the youth rally was Christ makes youth more than free"

Britain Claims World Altitude Aircraft Record

MOON, RHBritain today claimed new world altitude rec ord for aircraft-7O,O0O feet. The Royal Aero Club said the new mark was set two days ago by a Canberra bomber, powered by two turbo-jets and two rocket motors. It was piloted sby Michael Randrup, chief test pilot for D. Napier and son.
 The Royal Aero Club said the record was subject to confirnla- ton. An unofficial altitude record of 126,000 feet was credited to an American Bell X-2 plane, a rock ct research ship, at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., in Sept. 1856.
 British aviation experts said the Bell X-2 could not claim the rec ord because it had been launched in the air from a mother aircraft.
 The British plane was equipped with a pair of Rolls Royce Avon turbo-jets, its normal engines. Two Scorpion rocket motors were installed side by side under the fuselage near the tail.
 The record was established near the Isle of Wight, over the Eng fish Channel.

WASHINGTON, R-The first civil rights bill to pass Congress in more than 80 years was on its way to President Eisenhower to- day.
 The Senate completed action on the compromise measure late last night after 39 hours of continuous session passing it by an over whelming SOILS vote. The House passed the bill last Tuesday.
 The end of the months-long battle over civil rights came two hours after Sen. Thurmond O. SCI ended a record setting fili- buster against the bill. He held the floor for "A hours 19 minutes.

New Mile-Higgh
 Mountains Found In Arctic Ocean
By Alton L. Blakeslee ASSOCIATED PRESS SCIENCE REPORTER

NEW YORK, R-Discovery of new mile-high mountains in the Arctic Ocean fairly near the North Pole was announced today.
 The mountain range, buried be- meath deep cold waters, was dis covered by American scientists daringly floating on ice floes to do research during the Interna- tional Geophysical Year.
 The news was radioed here by Maurice J. Davidson, 26. Colum- bia University geophysicist in charge of the meandering, frozen scientific outpost.
 Using echo-sounders measuring water depth, Davidson's group found the 5,00O-foot-high range 400 miles from the pole, in the area between the pole and Point Barrow. The exact location is 830 5l12 N., lbo 45 w.
 There the water was as shallow as 5000 feet, after having been about 10000 feet deep farther southwest. This indicated a range of mountains nearly a mile high. How long or wide has not yet hoppo 1parnAd
 The range seems to parallel the great Lomonsov Ridge in the cen- tral arctic, said Davidson. That ridge extends from Greenland across the Arctic Ocean toward the New Siberian Islands.
 Both the US. and the U.S.S.R. have scientists floating on ice is lands or arctic icepack to study mysteries of the arctic during the ICY. ICY is a cooperative study by GA nations of the earth and space around us.
 Two ice islands are occupied by US. scientists. Russian scientists are floating on three others.

First Civil Rights Bill to Pass
 Congress in 30 Years Is on
 Its Way to President Eisenhower

erners refrained from joining in because they felt it was fruitless and might boomerang.
 Final passage of the civil rights bill cleared the way for adjourn ment of Congress, probably today
 On the final roll call, IS south erners voted no; 37 Republicans and g Democrats joined in sup port of the bill. There were many absentees.
 The bill provides broad new federal enforcement powers in the field of voting rights, altho it does not contain some of the far-reaching provisions originally asked by Eisenhower.
 Nevertheless, it's passage is an outstanding victory for the Presi- dent and for members of both parties who have struggled for years to win action on civil rights.
 The political repercussions from the Capitol Hill battle over the bill and it's final passage are cer- tain to be felt for long time.
 The key feature of the bill is provision giving the Justice De- >partment authority to seek feder- al court injunctions to enforce the right of every citizen to vote, regardless of race or color.
 In its final form, this provision was modified so persons charged with criminal contempt for vio- lating such injunctions would be granted jury trial if they were tried first by judge alone and sentenced to more than AS days in jail or fined more than $500.
 But no jury trials would be authorized in civil contempt cases stemming from voting rights in functions. Some legislators say the bulk of court orders in voting rights cases could be enforced thru civil contempt action.
 Civil contempt actions are aimed at obtaining compliance with a court order. Criminal con- tempt is intended to punish for noncompliance
