Following Burglary
Of Medfcrd House
A Compton, Calif, man is be
ing held in Grants Pass by state
police in connection with a
burglary Saturday afternoon of
Items valued at S320 from a
residence near Medford.
Police identified the suspect
at Windell Glenn Tabor. 35, who
was arrested in Grants Pass
several hours after the burglary
on charges of reckless driving.
Several of the Items taken from
th residence were found in his
possession, they reported.
He alsj is being held on the
basis of a description of the
burglar, police said, supplied by
a resident of the entered house,
John Cannon. Cannon, who dis
covered the burglary, told of
ficers he spotted a man walking
across the yard as he returned
home, but that he thought noth
ing of it at th time.
The residence, located at
route 1, box 351, South Stage
rd., several miles from Medford,
Is owned by AI Grief.
Police said the house was ran
sacked and articles belonging
to both Cannon and Grief were
taken. It was entered by forc
ing open two doors at the rear
of the residence.
Tabor has not admitted the

clear weapons tests.
Informed sources said Presi
dent Eisenhower worked out de
tails of the plans with Stassen
as part of a "first step" disarm
ament agreement. Disarmament
talks presently are going on in
London.
There have been reports that
U. S. proposals also would in
clude a suggestion that both
countries agree to notify the
other of any large-scale move
ments of troops.
The sources said they believe
Stassen s nuclear weapons plan
was a refinement of the propos
al made by Eisenhower and Brit
ish Prime Minister Harold Mac-
millan at their Bermuda confer
ence in March.
At the time, the two leaders
proposed that Russia and the
West exchange observers at all
future atomic weapons tests.
American officials have been
in the past opposed to any ban
on testing of hydrogen or atomic
weapons until the Russians
agreed to a mutual observation
program.
There was no indicattlon just
what test restrictions or limita
tions Stassen will propose. But
there were signs he is ready to
propose a new nuclear weapons
plan In order to test the "good
faith" of the Soviet negotiators.
The Idea of an omnipotent
fate over-ruling all affairs of
men is present in various forms

Bumper Strawberry Crop
Seen; Pickers Needed
Portland W Northwest
strawberry growers have a bum
per crop this year, they say but
they also have a shortage of la
bor and a depressed market.
Next Monday, growers in the
St. Helens and Gresham areas
will need several hundred straw
berry pickers, and unless local
residents respond, the demand
for labor will not be met, said
Blaine Christian, state employ
ment service farm labor super
visor for the Portland area.
The device was dropped from
a white-painted RAF Vajiint jet
bomber at an altitude estimated
at some 45.000 feet between
Christmas and Maiden Islands.
Squadron Leader David Rob
erts. 33. the pilot, dropped the
bomb in a complex corkscrew
maneuver that set it spinning
into space like a pitcher's curved
ball while the four-jet bomber
raced to safety.
"Bomb gone," radioed Flight
Lt. Kenneth Lewis, 33, the bom
bardier. A few seconds later,
a tremendous glare washed out
the sun above the test area.
White light bore through the
protective goggles of observers
standing with their backs to the
blast on the ships 35 miles away.
Observers had been warned not
to look at the blast for 15 sec
onds. Some 50 seconds after the
"bomb gone" announcement
cracked through the radio re
ceivers, the Shockwave brought
the rumbling crash of a thou
sand thunderclaps to the obser
vers on the six-ship task force
standing 35 miles away. The
ships rocked gently.
A huge multi-colored fireball
hung high in the sky changing
colon as it swelled, yellow, red,
orange, pink. A giant swirling
stem reached up from the sea
to form the familiar mushroom
of the atomic explosion.
Within seconds after the blast,
Canberra twin-jet bombers roar
ed in to sample the fall-out to
tell scientists how efficient this
bomb was.
Althonph the rloud of radio-
tne United j acjjve decaying fission products
was to pass 60 miles south of
Medford at 5 a.m. Friday, no
communication was received
from the atomic energy com
mission. Maj. Gen. J. H. Hicks,
Jackson county civil defense ad
ministrator, said radiological
monitors in the county reported
no unusual findings.
The cloud, which drifted at
an altitude of 20.000 feet, was
said to be in the general area
at which several commercial
airliners were scheduled to pass
Friday morning between the Pa
cific Northwest and California.
Course Reported
Its course was across Harney,
Lake and Klamath counties,
south of Medford. and on toward
the California coast. Yesterday
it was reported headed back to
Las Vegas after passing out to
sea north of San Francisco.
The chief radiological safety
officer of the Nevada testing
area, Oliver Placak, discflssed
the possible danger of the fall
out of strontium 90 among the
more than 150 elements released
in the blast.
He was quoted as saying he
was not prepared to give an
opinion on the possible danger
ous effects of strontium 90.
Scientists at the California In
stitute of Technology are said
to have found that any" fallout
of the element may increase
the world-wide incidence of
leukemia, an incurable disease
affecting the bones and glands.
Another authority has said
that the heaviest fallout on
earth occurs in the United States.
The entire western half, he ex
plained, except for the Pacific
coast, is covered with alkali soil

Scientist Skeptical
About Radar Death
Los Angeles V A UCLA
biophysicist says he is inclined
to be "highly skeptical" of a re
port published in a medical
journal that radar radiation
caused the death of an electron
ics technician.
Dr. Albert Bellamy, head of
the biophysics department at
UCLA, suggested Friday the pos
sibility of "complicating factors"
in the fatality of the victim,
whose name was witheld in the
journal report.
Bellamy said he and associates
at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology worked with high
frequency radiations for two or
three minutes at a time and ex
perienced a "warm" sensation
but no burning or any after
effects. The report of the death, which
appeared in the publication Cali
fornia Medicine, was part of an
article authored by Dr. John T.
McLaughlin, of Glendale, Calif.
McLaughlin said that an autopsy
on the victim concluded death
was due to "cooking" of his in
ternal organs by the ray.
To Treat GerMsns
With Hypertension
Bonn, Germany U" High
pressure businessmen suffering
from "manager's disease" are be
ing treated successfully by sleep
ing it off for three weeks, the
Bonn government's official bul
letin reported Saturday.
"Manager's disease," tJp) fill
er among West Germany's big
business-, tycoons, is marked by
hypertension, exhaustion, loss of
memory and appetite, and some
times death.
'Sleep Cures'
The government bulletin said
a clinic at Berchtesgaden in the
Bavarian Alps reported "encour
aging" results from its first 767
"sleep cures."
Under this cure the exhausted
manager is put to sleep by a
preliminary injection and kept
asleep a few days under reduced
body temperature, the bulletin
said.
After a preliminary trial per
iod he is allowed to awaken and
is kept four or five days in an
unlighted room on a low diet.
He sleeps between snacks.
Weil-Being Returns
At the end of the first five
days he feels "irritable and
crushed," the bulletin reported.
"But soon his feeling of well
being returns."
The treatment is renewed for
a second and possibly third
week.
The bulletin said the treat
ment was successful in 90 per
cent of cases. It said it also had
good results for sufferers from
stomach ulcers, hypertension,
neuralgia and bronchitis. It said
a few alcoholics id narcotic ad
dicts also were cured by the
sleep treatment.
