U.S. Atom Target List Urges Defense Effort
Washington—(U.P.)Officials expressed hope today that public interest in civil defense will increase from publication of a list of 193 probable Russian atom bomb "target areas" in the United States.
A civil defense spokesman said a major purpose of making public the hitherto secret list was to spur civilians to volunteer as air raid wardens, rescue workers, and ground observers spot low-flying enemy warplanes.
The target areas comprised all U.S. urban centers containing at least one city of 50,000 or more population and more than 40% of states, territories, and possessions.
Of these, 70 were listed as "critical target areas" because of their industry. The "critical classification given within 2000 or more manufacturing employees."
Such "targets" were concentrated industrial northeast and upper Midwest.
Washington, D.C., was listed in the "critical target" category "because of its importance as the nation's capital."
Military targets, including atomic energy installations, were removed from the list before it was made public. A civil defense spokesman
said a Russian spy could figure out the list by going to any library. He said that if the Soviet strategic air commanders did not already have such a list, "they should be in Siberia."
In the local area, two cities have been classified as "critical areas" and two more as targets. Kansas City, Mo., and Wichita were given the "critical" tag because of their industrial complex. Among other things, M7 met the requirements in Wichita. Wings for these planes are constructed in Clay county, Mo.
The cities receiving the target classification were Topeka and Kansas City, Kan.

Venezuela Oil Study Made
A study of the operation and history of the Venezuelan oil industry was offered to Dr. J. O. Maloney, chairman of the department of chemical engineering, and other United States educators by the Shell company of Venezuela on a 10-day tour of the South American country in mid-July.
The tour also offered the group an opportunity to understand better the problems of Venezuelan students who go abroad for education. The Sba company provides four-year scholarships to students at KU. Two are enrolled in Petroleum engineering and one is enrolled in chemical engineering.
"The early stages of the development of the petroleum industry in Venezuela," Dr. Maloney said, "were carried forward in many cases by foreign companies and technical personnel. Now attempts are being made by both industry and the government to train native Venezuelans to participate in all phrases of industry."
There were also opportunities for the group to see the government attempts to improve opportunities for citizens through better school systems and buildings. The party saw the University of Caracas, which is in the province of Zulia, fulfill its building program including construction of a 1,200-bed hospital, two stadia, and numerous academic buildings.
Nearly100 Foreign Students Expected
Approximately 100 foreign exchange students will be on the campus this year, Donald K. Alderson, dean of men, said today.
Forty-eight new foreign students from 30 countries have already arrived. Ten more are expected soon. The total of former foreign students returning to the University is about 45.
The most students from the same nation are from France—a total of six. Other countries represented by new students are: Japan, Lebanon, Argentina, Mexico, Costa Rica, Austria, China, Morovia, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Peru, North Borneo, Malaysia, Indonesia, Moorland, Norway, South Korea, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Taiwan, India, Luxembourg, Czechoslovakia, United Kingdom, Brazil, and New Zealand.
The modern divining rod rides a plane, says the National Geographic Society. With camera, magnetometer or radar, aerial explorers can locate underground water and metallic ores, assay quarries, count the trees in a forest, and accurately measure the height of both mountain and molehill.
Twins Well After Operation
New Orleans —(UP)—Physicians kept an anxious vigil today over Siamese twin girls separated by an unprecedented operation here and declined comment until later about their surglestone milestone.
Famed Oschner Foundation hospital reported this morning that both the three-month-old Mouton twins, now in separate cribs, were "doing well" after being severed at the lower spine yesterday.
A spokesman said there may be a statement tomorrow morning of scientific details of this "first operation of its kind in medical history" and what new hope it may offer in future cases.
The operation was pronounced a "complete success" but doctors and nurses kept an around-the-clock watch over eight-weeks-old Carolyn Anne and Catherine Anne Mouton to guard against complications.
If both girls live it would be the first time in history that an operation to separate siamese twins has not brought death at least to one.
Memmwhile, in Chicago, four doctors reported today that two-year-old Rodney Dee Brodie, separated from his less fortunate Sisamen twin, can hope to become a "happy, effective human being."
The doctors, writing in the journal of the American Medical association, presented the first official report on the separation of Rodney from his twin. Roger Lee.
The infants, joined at the tops of their skulls, were separated by surgeons at the University of Illinois Research and Educational hospital Rescue. D. 17.
Roger died Jan. 20, but Rodney has gained and celebrated his second birthday Wednesday with ice cream and cake.
