Brown Group Studying Atomic Bomb Effects in Japan Not Popular Hiroshima, -Japan (U.R) One of the most unpopular or ganizations in this city, deva stated by an atomic bomb just 10 years ago, is the American Medical Commission studying what the bomb did to survivors nrThe Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission is trying to find the 'answers to the question, "What does atomic radiation do to the human body?" Not Fully Supported Fot several reasons, its search has not won the full support of Hiroshima's 350,000 citizens. "There are strong voices here," German priest Father Hugo Lasalle said, "that say the ABCC should treat victims of the A-bomb rather than carry on researches." Father Lasalle, vicar general "of the Hiroshima Roman Catho lic diocese who has lived in Ja pan 26 years, blamed the feeling on a "misunderstanding" of the i commission's purpose. The 'bomb commission is an pgency of the non-governmental 'U.S. National Academy of Sci ences. Not Treatment Cntt It offers, in most cases, only emergency medical treatment, leaving therapy problems to Japanese doctors and hospitals, who are invited to consult the , commission on all medical prob lems. ' Mayor Tadao Watanabe, an at torney and. former Diet member, said that "average citizens dis like the ABCC because they be lieve it is handling people like guinea pigs." Another sore point, he said, resulted from the construction of ABCC buildings in one of Hiro shima's most popular parks and near a Japane?e military shrine. The ABCC's gleaming, two-story quonset style buildings are on At Your Service for the Years Ahead SATISFACTION GUARANTEED Or Your ElHoney Refunded top of a hill and can be seen from nearly every part of Hiro shima. Dr. Robert H. Holmes, director of the commission, is aware of the criticism and wants to win public support. Pasted on a pencil jar on his desk is this quotation from Ab raham Lincoln: "With public opinion, nothing can fail; with out it, nothing can succeed." Missing Girl Found Floating on Salt Lake Salt Lake City k'U.R) A 15-year-old Colorado girl became lost last night while swimming in the buoyant waters of Great Salt Lake but was rescued, un harmed, by deputies after she had been floating for two and one-half hours. The girl was Betty Ottero, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam uel Ottero of Fruita, Colo. She and other members of the fam ily went swimming in the lake last evening. The others got out but Betty kept swimming. When she failed to return to the, beach, a county boat went out. Deputies heard the girl call ing for aid, located her with a searchlight and took her into the boat. Waters of the lake contain more than 22 per cent salt, mak ing it virtually impossible to sink.

The commission welcomes visitors. Nearly 5,000 tourists a year go to the ABCC and are shown through the laboratories by four full-time guides. Its medical library of 15,000 books is open to Japanese medi cal students. Hiroshima doctors are invited to send patients, even with non atomic ailments, to the commis sion's clinic for specialized ex aminations and advice on treat ment. About 10 referral patients are seen by the commission doctors each week. The commission's Japanese staff far outnumbers the Ameri cans. The medical and laboratory staffs include 750 Japanese and 49 foreigners, most of them American. The commission's as sociate director is Japanese Dr. Hiroshi Maki, a medical official in the Japanese Welfare Minis try. Judge To Rule on Safeway Dispute Portland j(U.R) Federal Judge William East said today he would rule on whether Consolidated Freightways Inc. must deliver merchandise to four picketed Safeway stores in the Coos Bay area after written briefs are filed by both sides near the end of the month. Safeway had asked that Con solidated be enjoined from re fusing to deliver goods it ships at Coos Bay, North Bend, Co quille and Myrtle Point. Testimony during the two-day hearing said that the trucking firm accepted shipments to Safe way for delivery to the stores last month but that trucks were unloaded at Consolidated docks at the Consolidated docks in Jhe y Kliss, Oyler Praised By Reviewer for Top 'Henry' Performaces The Oregon Shakespearean festival ended its first round of four plays last night in Ashland before an audience that could have been, and should have been larger. Those that stayed away from Henry VI, Part III, apparently on the traditional theory that the history plays aren't quite up to Shakespeare's other works missed a very good performance. It escaped being excellent by only the slightest of- margins, and it gives promise of being just that before the season ad vances much further. Some of the individual per formances were excellent. No other word will do them justice. We particularly have in mind the jobs turned in by H. Paul Kliss, as Henry VI, the Godly but weak king of England, and William Oyler, as Richard, Duke of Gloucester. We've gained respect for these two in past Festival seasons, and they did nothing to let us down last night. Kliss was particularly effective in the scene in which Henry stands alone, watching the bat tle, caring less about who wins than about having the continual strife come to an end. Oyler, who can be, and last Extra Bus Service Set for Jubilee The Evergreen Bus Line, to provide service to the Jackson ville Jubilee, will place extra buses on the Medford-Jackson-ville route coming Saturday and Sunday, it has been announced.

Mott, 68, lost his long-time job as driver of the Bristol community fire truck when city officials found he didn't have a driver's license. Buck deer lose their antlers during the winter and spring seasons and grow new ones every year. coastal towns. From there, Safe way rented trucks to receive the shipments.

IT'S Builders of Automatic Washer 199 night was as dark a villain as any who have trod the festival theater boards, effectively built up the part of the mentally and physically misshapen Richard, giving promise of the turmoil to come in next year's Richard III. We also liked Irene G. Baird, as Queen Margaret; Thomas Luce, as Lord Clifford, and. as usual, Richard Graham, as Earl of Warwick. Miss Baird, in particular, did a fine job. She plays the violent Margaret on a sustained, intense level throughout the lengthy play. Credit also should go to Don ald E. Soule, as Edward IV, "and to Joan Kugell, as Edward, Prince of Wales. And we would be doing less than justice if we failed to men tion little Anne Sandoe, as Ed mund, Earl of Rutland. This young lady would make a hit with any audience, if for no other reason than for her size and childish voice. But, she deserves more than that. She is not a grade school child appearing with a group of adult actors. She is a definite part of the cast. Actors in two of the other lesser parts deserve mention here. They are Brad Curtis, who seems to get a little better every time we see him, as Duke of York, and Marjorie Schaffer, as Lady Grey. The things we didn't like were comparatively few, and in all cases minor. For example, we thought J. Ramond Burgin's performance as Duke of Exeter left rather a flat spot in the opening scene. Then there are those stereotyped bat tle scenes, which have not changed a particle since we saw our first historical play in Ash land five years ago. The behind scenes noise was, it seemed, more than necessary. And at times we were conscious of a lesounding echo to some of the speeches. Like most histories, the play is overly long. However, these were only minor. The play stands above them and we enjoyed it. Director James Sandoe has done a good job. This also seems like a good spot to mention James M. Baker, Clarissa Berning, and Martin Bliefernich, the three University of Oregon students who sing Elizabethan music before each night's performance. To our un tutored ear, it sounded like the best Elizabethan music the festi val has ever had. J.J.

Mr. Eisenhower went out of his way at his press conference yesterday to praise Congress for its record on foreign affairs. But he said it would be "completely futile" to label its domestic ac complishments successful. This raises the possibility, the Presi dent warned,, that he might have to call a special session. Special Session Doubtful Democratic lawmakers scoffed at the President's implied threat to recall Congress to act on his stalled highway bill. And in formed Republican sources also doubted privately that Mr. Ei senhower would call a special session unless a critical interna tional situation develops. Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.) proclaimed the first session of the 84th Congress "one of the most fruitful" he had ever ser ved in. "What for?" he asked when informed of the President's statement about a special session. Rayburn and acting Senate Democratic Leader Earle C. Cle ments of Kentucky both said the Democratic-led Congress had a great record. Rayburn said fur ther progress will be made next year. Highway Program "I don't think members who have been here through this long session would be in a very good humor if they are called back in the middle of their vacations," he told a reporter. President Eisenhower said that of 13 bills he listed early in June as important for congress ional approval only four were passed, and some of these with "provisions that were not wise." One of the failures he cited was his highway, program. The Senate passed a road bill, far different from what the President asked. But the whole highway program was killed in the House late in the session. Eager Gamblers Arrested by Police Middletown, N. J. (U.R) Po lice arrested eight impatient New Yorkers yesterday for gambling aboard a boat bound from New York to Middletown. The boat was a "race track special" which daily takes com muters to the Monmouth Park race track.
