Can Lick GOP,
Kefauver Says
POCATELLO, Idaho W)
Sen. Kefauver says he can whip
njr Republican presidential nomi'
nee, but "it by chance" he doesn't
get the Democratic nomination he
will fully lupport whoever does,
Speaking here and In Boise, Ida
ho, the Tennessee Democratic
presidential hopeful made it clear,
also, that he favors government
development of power resources
In the Pacific Northwest, a subject
of considerable Interest In this
region.
On the power situation, Kefau
ver said he long has supported
government development of pow
er on the Columbia and Snake
Rivera, and also was an advocate
of the Tennessee Valley Auth
ority. The proposed Hells Canyon dam,
however a controversial subject
in the Northwest found the sen
ator non-committal.
At a Saturday morning press
conference, Kefauver was asked
what he thought of his reception
in what his questioner called "Re
publican territory" in Idaho. The
Tennessean replied:
"I don't consider this to be Re
publican territory. Idaho is a
Democratic state or at least It
ought to be."
Ike Plans Active Campaign
Only if Nominated in July
PARIS U.R Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower announced Saturday
he will wage an active campaign
for the presidency only if he Is
nominated by the Republican na
tional convention.
If nominated, he told corres
pondent! at a press conference,
he will resign his army commis
sion and wage an all-out battle
against the candidate of the Demo.
cratic party. Until then he will
not make an active campaign, he
said.
The five-star general laid he
resigned as Supreme Commander
of the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization to prevent the interfer
ence of politics with the vital joo
of building West Europe'! defen
sive strength, i
His resignation, he stressed In
his 10-mlnute conference, was
from that command and not from
the U, S. Army.
AS A SOLDIER, he said, there
are restrlctioni on his activities
which make an active campaign
for the Republican presidential
nomination impossible.
But if the G.O.F. picks him as
the Republican candidate, all
would change. He would then drop
the role of a soldier and Be "tree
to speak and act as a private
citizen," in the time between the
Republican convention In July
and the elections in November.
The general did not put his po
sition that bluntly.
He still wears the uniform of
the U. S. Army and he Is still
active head of SHAPE, he noted.
But he made his position clear.
After stressing that his resignation
from his NATO command did not
mean he was finished with the
U. S. Army, he added:
"IF, HOWEVER, I should

He said he has no plans what
soever for the period immediately

IN HIS PRESS conference
Elsenhower said politics and the
demands upon him from the U.
S. were the primary reasons for
his resignation at this time from
his NATO command, He waited
only long enough for the "paper
war" defense exercises on his
command to end before making
public a decision already taken
privately 10 days ago.
Eisenhower told reporters who
crowded into his conference room
that he will permit no discussion
of political questions at his head
quarters or with him In the period
before he leaves for the United
States.

Afi.dated Fret. Sel.n. R.Bort.r
I NEW YORK (IP) ,-The first
complete daily radioactivity map
of the United States Is being
charted here by the U. S. Atomic
.Energy Commission.
The map shows the radioactive
dust falling to the ground, and
'also radioactivity in the air, as
both float across the United
States from our A-bmobs in Ne
vada or at Eniwetok.
It could, in emergency, also
ihow Russian A-bomb radioacti
vity as that floats around the
world to us.
THE MAPPING was described
Wednesday by Merril Eisenbud of
the commission s New York office.
where he heads the monitoring
system. There are radioactivity de
tectors in 120 weather stations and
one station not a weather bureau,
here in the commission's office.
Pressmen Strike
lacoma Paper
' TACOMA (IP) Pressmen
went on strike Saturday in a
wage dispute at The News Tri-
jbune, Tacoma's only daily news-
i paper.
The management said pressmen
asked $3.10 an hour for day work
land rejected an offer of $2.95.
I Officials of the International
Printing Pressmen and Assistants'
Union AFL were not immediately
available for comment.
News Tribune executives said
pickets appeared without notice
after employes had reported for
work. They said other unions
were not asked to pass the picket
lines and that efforts would not
be made "under present condi
tions to maintain continuous pub
lication." The paper publishes several
i afternoon editions. There is a
Sunday paper, the Tacoma Sunday
i Ledger, under the same manage
ment. Publisher Frank S. Baker of the
News Tribune said the scale
sought by the pressmen would ex-
inari tha hiffhaat nratrnflnaH .-
R'tnan.' (train In th TTnlta1 fitalae
by nearly 15 cents an hour.
The management said the 26
regular Journeymen pressmen
who worked five days or more
during the week ended April 10
were paid an average ot $111.48
each.
This more than doubles anv nr..
vious monitoring.
The stations are set in a naif am
of concentric cirlces from the
Nevada bomb site, ranging be
tween 250 and 500 miles apart.
They are closer together over ha
heavily populated east.
By coincidence the matham.tl.
cal grid misses Oklahoma, North
Carolina and Vermont, but fully
protects them with stations .inn.
their borders. In Nevada there is
extra monitoring.
FOR CATCmwi r.rfln.aHuU.,
from A-bombs, vacuum cleaners
are stripped down to draw air
through a filter pad about as big
as the palm of your hand. Trays
catch dust, on fly paper. The
papers are folded for shipment and
both papers and pads sent to New
York. They are coming now at the
rate of 400 a day.
Each paper or pad is placed in
a metal cup the size of a cup cake.
Each cup goes Into an individual
little electric furnace about as big
as a small radio set. There the
contents burn to white ashes, each
cup producing an ash pad the size
of a half dollar.
These white discs are sealed bv
machine inside a plastic tape,
eight inches between each, with
each tape about 75 feet lone. There
Is an identifying label on each
"half dollar."
I
THE TAPES are run throuirh
radioactivity counting machines
which measure and write the extra
radioactivity from bombs.
If our bombs should ever spew
excess radioactivity the map is
designed to detect It before harm
can be done.
