Continue Work On Nuclear Power Jet I WASHINGTON (UPD — The I congressional Atomic Energy I Committee disclosed today the Air Force was making definite I plans to continue work on a nu- j i clear powered Ram-jet engine. ' In publishing testimony on the, proposed nuclear rocket (Project > Rover), nuclear space power gen-i erators (Snap) and the nuclear; Ram-jet (Pluto), the committee I i said “classified responses” from i ! the Pentagon indicated that the! Pluto project would be scheduled for future work. i The program is aimed at de- ! veloping a nuclear power plant I which could push a vehicle withing the earth’s atmosphere at ■ speeds up to three times the ; speed of sound. Such avehicle i could make strategic attacks at J I tremendous speeds at* altitudes; I where detection would be exceed-1 l ingly difficult. Rep. Melvin Price, D-111., chait- \ I man of the Atomic Energy Com- | ! mittee’s research and developI ment panel, c omplained at the August hearings and subsequently that the Air Force had lowered its priority on the Ram-jet despite apparently successful preliminary tests. Thus, the “classified responses,” which were not further described in the committee's statement, appeared to be assurances that the project be continutd. The testimony made public by the committee included an Air Force statement that the Defense Department had been asked to include S4O million for the Pluto project in the budget which President Kennedy will unveil this month. Last year’s budget carried i $7 million for Pluto; H.B. McMillan, assistant Air Force secretary, testified that the S4O million outlay would provide 1 for a program involving the ultimate ground test of a Ram-jet engine. A decision could be made 1 next year on whether to provide ' additional funds to carry the pro- ' gram through a flight test. ’ Tarnshed Brass , A lemon rind, dipped into salt, then rubbed over the corrosion spots on brass articles, will usually clean it like magic.

Fear Algeria Situation Is Out Os Hand ALGIERS, Algeria (UPD—The outlawed Secret Army Oragnization <OAS> called a two-hour strike today in an efforUto show massive .support for its violent*struggle to keep Algeria Freneh. With casualties mounting daily and the situation threatening to get out of hand, the prefect of Oran, in northwest Algeria, threatened to impose a state of siege if necessary. Authorities in Oran, Algeria’s second largest city, were concerned at what they termed an “infernal cycle of violence” — Moslem Rebels and European extremists attacking each other in a growing series of reprisals and counter-reprisals. In Algiers Sunday a car full of European youths hurled hand grenades into a Moslem hostel and machinegunned survivors, killing one and injuring ten. The Algiers attack brought the day's casualty toll throughout Algeria to 19 dead and 34 wounded. By last midnight, official figures showed that since the first of the year terrorist violence by both sides had taken 123 lives and left 268 injured. The leaders of the rebel Algerian provisional government were in the middle of a strategy meeting Mohammedia, Morocco, 16 miles north of Casablanca. The meeting, which began Sunday, was the first outside the rebel exile headquarters in Tunis, Tunisia, since the government was organized in 1958. Apparently the rebel cabinet was discussing its next move in secret negotiations with the French government on conditions for granting Algeria independence.
