The mate goose honks, flaps his wings and stretches his long neck from side to side to see everything but the road.

New Measure Indian Fishing WASHINGTON 'UPD The . . House Judiciary Committee has approved Rop. Don Magnuson's bill to establish penalties for hunting, fishing and trapping on Indian lands without a permit from the tribe. The Washington state Demo crat's' bill provides for finss up , to ?20U anu -up to uu nays in juu for violators Debate On A-Testing Warms Up WASHINGTON (UPD A '-j United Nations committee report on the hazards of radioactive fall-out has stimulated new debate on e.v whether Hie United Slates should continue testing of atomic weap- :Vwons. ' ' i , r Sources close to the situation in dlcated they would be surprised , if tills country called off testing ( without an international agree continue, to ban such tests, and an ' inspection systenh to guarantee en- M- forccment. '". One indication was an Atomic e n e r g y Commission statement '"which said "man must learn to . . live" with the radiation problem. Russia announced utter an ex "jensive spring test series that it - .was halting Its atomic tests, but l. implied it might resume them if . he United States fuilcd to follow - suit. President Eisenhower later hinted the United Slates might an enounce a similar test halt if sci ;;entists learn enough from the ctir L'Jrent Pacific test series. -. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D " , Minn.), chairman 'Of the Senate Disarmament Subcommittee, told ' the Senale Monday that reports of increasing radioactivity from nu clear tests muke it "imperative" ' ' that nations having nuclear weap ons "immediately reeaxaminc and - reappraise our policies" on con "'tinned nuclear testing. He said the U.N. 'report "shows ''there is still a grout deal about !Ithe somatic and genetic effects of radiation dial arc hidden from us. Vc ard like children playing with ""dynamite."

Protects Rights Many Indian tribes issue hunt ing and fishing licenses at pres ent, Magnuson said. But under existing laws there is no way to punish those who trespass on In dian lands. ' "These penalties would apply only to those who knowingly go on Indian land, but ,not to sports men who ore not aware that they are on Indian : land," Magnuson said. '. . eration Radiation Protection By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press International BURLINGTON, Vt. (UPD A Yugoslav physiologist today pro posed refrigeration as a protection for space travelers against cosmic radiation. . ' 1 The scientist, Prof. Jevto M Radulovic,. said research has shown that hypolhermy the- cool ing of living things to tempera tures far below normal pro vides protection against many of the hazards of spuce flight. These hazards include the re gions of intense radiation now known to exist between the earth and the far reaches of space.' Radulovic gave his ideas in a paper prepared for the First In ternational Congress of Radiation Research this week at the Univer sity of Vermont. . 'Wo may presume with certain ly," his paper said, "that in this era of interplanetary flights, hy polhermy will play a protective role against harmful cosmic radi ation." : The Yugoslav's paper was one of several reports to the congress on means of protecting living tilings from damaging radiation, whether from atomic bomb fall out, atomic power plants, medical X-radiation, or the rays pelting the earth from solar, stellar, unci inter:galnctic space.

MYLER United Press International "BURLINGTON, Vt. (UPD A British radiation export called on all naions to submit to in ternational control over the deadly radioactive by - products of nu clear power plants. Dr. Robert H. Mole of Harwell, England, predicted that sooner or later "serious attempts wil be made to cheapen the cost" of atomic power at the expense of precautions against radiation in jury. Mole is participating in the first international congress of radiation research being held at the Uni versity of Vermont with nearly 1,000 of the world's foremost radiation experts in attendance.;' bo lar nobody has come Up with a satisfactory solution of what to do with the frighteningly hot potato of radioactive ashes from atomic plant's. Not oven the deepest ocean trenches seem to bo safe dumping places for these wastes. . ' . Scatter them carelessly and you scatter the seeds of cancer, leu kemia and premature death: In dustriously advanced countries like Britain, Canada 'and t h e United States can afford' to lock up the more intensely radioactive wastes indefinitely in costly tanks. The danger that someone will try to cu the cost of nuclear power by dumping wastes with out regard to consequences will become increasingly acute as de mand for the new source of power grows, Mole believes. He said this probably would be especially true in under-developed nations. - "This danger," Mole: said, "makes the world really a small place." If one country is careless about waste disposal, all countries will suffer, he said. "I believe," he added, "that there should be international con trol of atomic wastes and some abdication of individual countries' independence."

Farmers Producing Largest Crop On Smallest Acreage WASHINGTON ( UP1 ) Ameri can farmers are producing by far the largest crop in U;S. history this year. And they're doing it on the smallest acreage in 40 years. The Agriculture Department s August crop production estimate this Week said the 1958 crop will be 113 per cent of the 1947-49 base Navy's Arctic From 9,400 Mil WEYMOUTH, Mass.lUPI ) The Navy blimp ZPG-2 landed here Tuesday after a 9.400-mile scientific expedition to within 500 miles of the North Pole, farthest north a lighter than air ship ever travelled. The long trip, which began July 27, featured a visit last Saturday to Fletcher Island, a 45-mile square chunk of ice also known as T-3. It is manned by scientists, who waved their greetings as the blimp hovered overhead and dropped mail and supplies. . While over the small island, International Geophysical Year scientists aboard the airship dropped depth charges into the sea. The echoes made by the explo sions were expected to aid scien tists on the island seeking infor mation on ocean depth and the bottom. n j i 4 .( ! ' i period. This compares , with pre vious record crops, which were 106 per cent of the base period, in 1948, 1956 and 1957. The department said gains in yield prospects during ' July now seem likely to make 1953 the -nation's biggest crop year "by far."

The plane will be turned over to Pan American World Airways at Boeing Field at 10 a.m. - Pan American placed its orders in October, 1955. The airline has 23 707's on order, six Jet Strato liners and 17 of the larger, longer ranged Intercontinental. 1 Originally, the first plane was to be delivered this coming De cember, with Pan American to begin jet service early next year.
