The administration favored private rather than public de velopment of the dam site Outside of Congress, however, two a'tempts to hold up the pri vate development are pending in the courts. One is before the Circuit Court of Appeals here. It alleges the FPC acted illegally in granting the licenses to the Idaho company.

U.S. Said Developing Bombs With Minimum Radioactive Fallout Washington ,U.R; The Unit ed States is developing nuclear weapons which will knock out a military target without enrlan-l the, goring reat numbers of civilians R R JFK KEk Iff J!T 420 PINE ST.

Strauss of the Atomic Energy Commission announced Thursday night "real progress' has been achieved in "making weapons with reduced fallout." He said this is important "not only from a military point of view but from a humanitarian aspect." News of two other major atomic advances came from Strauss. He disclosed progress in development of an atomic pow ered airplane and atomic anti aircraft weapons. Lt. Gen. James M. Gavin, Army research chief, recently estimated that an all out nuclear attack on Russia would cause "several hundred million deaths" including many among U.S. al lies because of fallout. The explosion of a nuclear superbomb in the 1954 Bikini test spread deadly radioactive fallout over 7,000 square miles. Atomic Energy Commissioner Willard F. Libby said earlier this year that fallout from a nuclear super-bomb could blanket 100, 000 square miles under windy conditions. Strauss said Thursday night in a terse report the current nuclear tests in the Pacific have resulted in import strides to ward developing a nuclear w eap on with "maximum effect in the immediate area of a target." but with "minimum widespread fall out hazard." He also disclosed without fur ther comment that the tests show progress has been made in de veloping atomic anti - aircraft weapons. The AEC chairman told a House Appropriations Subcom mittee in secret testimony made public Thursday that a new step was made in developing atomic powered planes. He said a turbojet aircraft engine was powered last January for the first time "exclusively by heat from an experimental reactor." He said the test took place on the ground at the Atomic Energy Testing Station in Idaho. BELLIGERENT BLUEJAYS Wichita, Kan. (U.R) A teen-aged housewife dive-bombed by bluejays, had to take cov er under a porch. Mrs. Kariene Carter, 17, had the skin on top of her head punctured by . the belligerent birds as she strolled along a sidewalk. The bluejays were protecting an offspring which had tumbled from the nest. Invalid Develops Profitable Hobby Shelby, Miss. Cog gy Bullock, looking for some thing to pass the time while bed ridden with arthritis, came up with a hobby that's turned into a profitably business. Bullock was teaching at Duke L'nn ersity when arthritis struck him. He's been bedridden ever since, getting out occasionally in a wheel chair. Several years ago Bullock be gan making novelties to pass the lime. He marie dolls with pecan bodies and acorn heads. Then Bullock began making miniature wood carvings cotton bolls and bales to be mounted and worn as costume jewelry. Bullock carved a variety of things, bracelets, sets of buttons, lapel ornaments and earrings. He gave them away to his friends at first. Then Bullock began to get orders from individuals and shops, but he couldn't fill all of them because carving the little bolls and bales was tedious work. But now Bullock has had plas tic molds made and a company in Chicago made 10,000 bolls for him. Bullock has to sand and buff the bales, drill a small hole in the top for insertion of an eye screw and attach the bales to ear screws, tie or bracelet chain. Each year Bullock gives a set of his jewelry to the Maid of Cotton, and the Cotton Carnival Association has begun buying the jewelry for the royal court in the annual carnival. Now Bullock has plenty to occupy his time in bed and bring him in a tidy profit. Brochure Gets 'H' Out of Worcester Worcester, Mass. (U.R) They're trying to get the "h" out of Worcester. For years people have been writing letters to friends and business associates in this cen tral Massachusetts community. They spell the city's name Wrooster, Wucester, Wuster: but most of all they spell it Wor chester. Jackson L. Parker. Director of the Advertising Club of Wor cester says the last straw came when the U. S. Department of Commerce misspelled the name. He and fellow club members got out a brochure with a fancy cover reading "Get the H out of Worcester." And they're sending it to "peo ple who cant spell."
