Pro and Con Arguments
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) a
main sponsor of the bill, called
i's defeat "a tra2ic blow to the
welfare of the nation."' He said
the F.isenhower administration
"cracked the political whip on
Republican senators'' to accom
plish the defeat.
"As often happens when the
Eisenhower administration wins,
a victory, the people lose." I
Morse said. '

congressional maneuvering, ap
parently is still alive. Rayhurn
said he expects the Rules Com
nun.ee will clear the Frying Pan

week.
It would bring power and
flood control to a large Rockv
Mountain area.
The Hes. Canyon bill would
have had the effect of cancelling
licenses issued by tile Federal
Power Commission authorizing
construction of three small pri
vately financed dams on the
Snake river The Idaho Power
Co. already has started work on
one.
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.
Awaii Court Actions
Th,e suit cites a section of the
federal power act requiring the
FPC to recommend federal con
struction of hydroelectric plants

TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK This is the last performance you'll see of the Ringling
Bros. Circus under the "big top." This shot was made during show in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Under canvas since shortly after the Civil War, the circus will reopen only in air
conditioned arenas in 1957. So, take another look so you'll be able to tell your
grandchildren about the "big top" in the "good old days.

with radioactive fallout.
Chairman Lewis L. 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."
