World News IN BRIEF Plane forced to land AKGKNTIA, Newfoundland (I'f*l i The airliner carrying Soviet Deputy Premier Mikoyan home from America early today made a forced landing at a U.K. Naval Air Base here. The plane developed trouble in one engine over the Atlantic, then fire broke out in another, and the plane limped into Ar gentia on only two engines). The Scandinavian Airlines Sys tem says the DC-7 had been ex haustively searched and checked for possible sabotage before it left New York City. Dulles sends telegram WASHINGTON uP President Kisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles urged Anastas I Mikoyan Tuesday to report in Moscow the unswerving belief of Americans in the right of peoples “to determine their own form of government." Dulles sent a telegram to Mik oyan just before the Soviet dep uty premier took off by plane for Moscow. Mikoyan had left Wash ington by train in mid-moming, Dulles told Mikoyan he was acting on behalf of the President himself and other officials Mik oyan met here. Kennedy unveils bill WASHINGTON <*) Sen. John F. Kennedy ID-Mass) Tuesday unveiled a new labor-management control bill he said w'as specific ally aimed at practices of such figures as Teamsters Union Presi dent James R. Hoffa. Kennedy, in a speech prepared for the Senate, called the measuie "a strong, effective reform bill which would virtually put Hoffa and his associates out of business. The new bill is quite similar to the Kennedy-Ives bill which passed the Senate 88-1 last year but died in the House. That meas ure was sponsored by Kennedy and former Sen. Irving M. Ives (R-NY). Its key provisions would set up an election code for all unions, re quire public, financial accounting by unions, fix criminal penalties for mishandling of union funds or books, and make some changes in Taft-Hartley law sections ob jected to by both labor and man agement.

Pauling says nuclear problems 'responsibility of everybody' By KEITH POWELL Emerald Staff Writer An audience eager to argue and discuss heard Linus Pauling's comments at a coffee hour held in the Student Union Tuesday after noon. A dapper Pauling graciously Pauling to speck in Browsing Room RE Vv'eek continues today with a worship workshop, a coffee hour forum and a Browsing Room lecture. The Browsing Room lecture will be given tonight et S p.m. in the SU Ballroom by Linus Paul ing. His topic will be "A Scien tist Appeals for Peace." Pauling, a chemist at. Calif ornia Institute of Technology, has received many awards in cluding the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954. He has also received honorary doctorates from fifteen universities includ ing Chicago. Princeton and Tam pa in the U.S.; New Brunswick in Canada; Cambridge. London and Oxford in England; and Paris and Toulouse in France. Pauling has been active as a teacher, lecturer and researcher both in the U.S. and in Europe. He is a frequent consultant for governmental agencies and re search groups. Pauling is the author of sev eral college textbooks in the field of chemistry. His most impor (Continued on page 6) answered all the questions put to him by his audience. One of Pauling's challengers suggested that it is through suf fering (which Pauling wishes to reduce to a minimum) that men ! come into, their “greatest mo ments" and without this suffer ing man might live only in a "ani mal happiness" vacuum where | creativity is reduced to nill. The questioner suggested that because of his deafness, Beet hoven was inspired to write bet ter music. Pauling replied. “There will al ways be suffering; if we cure cancer, we will still have heart disease. My purpose is to mini mize human suffering, not to put human beings in a state of eu phoria. I am not prepared to say if Beethoven wrote better music because he was deaf; perhaps it would have been better if he had not been deaf.'’ ‘Not responsible’ Pauling remarked that he and other scientists were not respon sible for the immoral uses that nuclear power is being used for. “The bombs can be laid at the (Continued on page 6) III Today’s EMERALD Research project . 6 General to visit .7 RE talk . 7 By BILL ANDRIS Emerald Staff Writer The increase of one per cent, or 15,000, mutant births each year due to atomic testing and the fact that an atomic attack on the U.S. and Russia could destroy the entire population of those countries were reasons cited by Linus Pauling that war and bomb tests no longer have any justi fication whatever.

Before the advent of modem science, bad genes produced, equalled the number of those lost by death, Pauling said, but the increase of mutations due to ra diation and the decrease of deaths due to medical progress is allow ing defects to be passed on. "This is why we need differ entiated birth control,” Paulng said. There is a great need for dis armament conferences and meet ings such as the first Geneva Conference where scientists de cided than an adequate system could be set up to detect atomic tests, said Pauling. The award-winning chemist ad ded that he thought the world is taking a great step from the time when nations were immoral to morality, because, he said, we are being forced to. ‘N’o justification Pauling said "Militarism in the modern world no longer has any justification whateve r.” He pointed out that the money spent by the nations of the world for armament could double the in Pauling al so added some (Continued on page 3)
