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

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

An audience eager to argue and
discuss heard Linus Pauling's
comments at a coffee hour held in
the Student Union Tuesday after
noon.

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

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 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.
The Nobel Prize winning chem
ist told a large University As

tions are immoral and have al
ways been immoral. The time has
come when they are forced to be
moral.*’ t

‘Moral implications
Pauling, who is professor of
chemistry at the California In
stitute of Technology, gave a lec
ture entitled "The Moral Impli
cations of the Atomic Age.”
He pointed out that we have an
individual moral responsibility
in the case of defective births.
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
