trauss Sees Peaceful World
Conference Atmosphere Can Be Retained
cPenver (U.R) Chairman
(JLewis L. Strauss of the Atomic
CRnergy Commission said Monday
the world can look toward peace
Qnd a better life for its inhabi
tants if the friendly atmosphere
f the recent Geneva atoms-for-(jieaft
conference continues to
(revail.

Cosmic Radiation
Dangers Believed
Overestimated
Slolloman, N.M. (U.R) Dan
gers from cosmic radiation and
other cosmic reactions at high
altitudes may be overestimated,
according to a report made here
C5by Maj. Davis G. Simons, chief
of. the space biology branch.
Simons said large scale tests
Gwith animals sent as high as
0120,000 feet showed the graying
Sot hair was about the only con
sistent effect.
0 Apprehension Eliminated
Tests conducted by the space
biology branch of the Aero Med
ical field laboratory here have
G eliminated "much apprehension
S connected with the exposure of
crews in high flying aircraft to
O primary cosmic radiation," the
.report said.
O Plastic balloons were used for
0 the flights in the stratosphere.
Some animals were sent to more
than 90,000 feet and remained
O at that altitude for up to 35
0 hours in a series of tests conduct
Q ed over Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
G Workers Perform Normally
Q Monkeys used in the high al
titude flights "performed nor
mally" after two flights which
exposed them to cosmic radia
tion. "After watching the exposed
animals for six months follow
ing the experiments, scientists
tentatively concluded that cos
mic particles may have been ov
erestimated as hazards to the
nqrye system and that a traveler
in the stratosphere should be
able to perform duties in a nor
mal manner with no serious aft-
er effects," the report continued.
One of the major "blocks"
which scientists believed are in
the path of flights at such alti
tudes is danger from cosmic ra
diation to humans.

joined the President in a flight
to Hartford, Conn., later Monday
night to continue the atomic re
port. Strauss said the Geneva meet
ing, which dealt only with peace
time atomic uses, was held in an
atmosphere of friendliness and
understanding. He said that if
the "climate" of that conference
can be "continued and pre
served," the "cause of peace"
and "the whole standard of liv

advanced.

School Enlargement
Planned at Portland
Portland (U.R) The Portland
school board last night approved
a $5,000,000 building program
to begin next year to provide
quarters for the state's fastest
growing school enrollment.
Superintendent J. W. Edwards
said he expected the district to
number 85.000 to 90,000 students
by 1960. Thsi year's enrollment
was expected to increase by some
3,000 over last year's.
The pay-as-you-go building
program would include a new
2,400-student high school in the
northeast district, a new gym
nasium for Grant high school and
enlargement of several grade
schools.
Edwards said the projects were
the "most urgent" in the district
and that numerous others had
had to be postponed pending
availability of more funds.

the program. But he warned that
this nation was not developing
young scientists and engineers
fast enough to meet the demands
and threatens to fall behind oth
er countries.
Russian scientists "are as good
as any in the world," Strauss
said. He stressed that the Rus
sians are "very competent scien
tists . . . they have done very
fine work in the field of pure
science."
He was elated that the meeting
proved it was possible for scien
tists to communicate the peace

Paflerson Sets Up
Advisory Council
On Employment
Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul L.
Patterson has again established
a State Advisory Council on Em
ployment and Unemployment In
surance. The council is authorized by
federal law but Oregon has not
had such a council for several
years.
With passage of the new Un
employment Compensation Com
mission law by the 1955 legisla
ture, Gov. Patterson said:
To Study New Law
"It is my desire that an ad
visory council composed of la
bor, management and the public
be created in order that they
might study the operation of the
new law, its administration and
the effect of such law. They will
then be in a vey good position
to make recommendations as to
any changes that might be indi
cated from their present actual
experience with the present
law."
The council will hold its first
meeting here Aug. 31.
Appointments Listed
Named to the committee are:
Jesse A. Bell, President of the
Oregon State Industrial Union
Council, Portland; Anthony F.
Vavrus, statistician, Portland
Council of Teamsters No. 37,
Portland; Henry E. Baldridge, in
charge of logging operations for

Rubber Tube Houses
Made for Air Force
Rome, N.Y. (U.R) The Air
Force has invented a new kind
of house. You don't nail it, weld
it, or glue it you blow it up
with an air pump.
Twenty-four rubber tubes
placed side by side form the
roof and walls of the house,
which is bigger than a Quonset
hut and is designed for the Arc
tic. When the tubes are filled with
two pounds of air, they rise and
snap into an arch 16 feet above
the floor. They keep standing
even under 24 tons of snow.
Another set of 24 air tubes
forms the floor of the shelter.
They conform to the contour of
the ground even if it's snow
or a swamp and provide a lev
el floor on which sectionalized
plywood can be laid.
The whole thing can be car
ried in a standard truck or light
transport plane, and can be as
sembled in two hours. It was
developed (by B. F. Goodrich
for the Air Development Center,
here.
Revolving Doors Move
At Entrant's Wishes
St. Paul (U.R) The world's
first two-speed automatically
powered revolving doors have
been installed at the Pioneer
Building here.
The doors revolve constantly
at three revolutions per minute
but when the crossbar is touch
ed, the motor speeds the revolu
tion to nine revolutions per min
ute, normal walking speed.
Doors can be adjusted to a max
imum speed of 12 revolutions a
minute.
According to the manufactur
er, International Steel Company,
Evansville, Ind., the two new en
trances allow a maximum of
5,760 persons to enter the same
number to leave the building
each hour.
It's also possible to reverse
direction of the door or to
stop it with slight pressure.

He said he found the Russian
scientists "friendly, approach

just like our fellows so far as
I could see."
The AEC chief said the next
few weeks or months might see
the United States making public
more information about its long
range experiments in the devel
opment of power from hydrogen.
Strauss emphasized that the
most important aspect of the
Aug. 8-20 conference was that
it "solidly lined up the scientists

Question Posed
As Outgrowth of
Alley Court Case
Washington (U.R) Do the
armed services have the legal
authority to court martial ser
vicemen accused of collaborat
ing with the enemy in .Korean
prison camps? Or do such trials
belong in federal courts before
civilian juries? '
This question confronted the
military today as an outgrowth
of the court martial of Maj. Ron
ald E. Alley, a tall, handsome,
34-year-old veteran officer from
Bar Harbor, Me.
The armed services so far have
obtained nine convictions on
enemy collaboration charges. But
Alley's attorneys, raising an ad
mittedly "novel contention," ar
gued yesterday that the Consti
tution forbids military trials for
such an offense.
In a second motion to dismiss
the case, they contended that a
fair military trial may be impos
sible because the Army's so-called
"tough policy" in dealing
with repatriated prisoners of
war as contrasted with the Air
Force's "leniency."
Before Alley entered his ex
pected plea of "not guilty," the
court martial, in its first day,
was ordered recessed until
Friday. The Army's prosecutor
requested the delay to give him
time to prepare a formal reply.
The government's reply may be
set forth earlier in federal
court.
