In-is Russia Exploits American Delay London ffi The Soviet Union today exploited a delay in presenting new American d:.iarmament plan with propa ganda atatements aimed at cashing in on worldwide fear of further nuclear weapons tests. The United Nations five-na-tton -subcommittee on disarma ment was mcetini this afternoon when Harold E. Stassen. the American disarmament repre sentative, rray present the new US plan. Ttussia. via Moscow Radio, sent out a stream of atatements to Europe and Asia affirming Moscow's willingness to dispense with further atom and hydro gen bomb tints. It was understood tha Stassen proposal calls for a halt to nu clear test explosions and sug gests a system of aerial recon naissance by Soviet planes over soma- eight Western European nations as part of President Ei senhowers original "open skies" inspection plan. risk from radioactive fallout or risk annihilation by an enemy. Libby told the House-Senate Atomic Radiation subcommittee that "testing constitutes a small risk very small compared to ordinary risks which can be tol erated." But the famed scientist stressed in his prepared state ment that "it is not contended that there is no risk." "Are we willing 'o take this very small and rigidly con trolled risk?" he asked. "Or would we prefer to run the risk of annihilation which might re-, suit if we surrendered the weapons which are so essential to our freedom and our actual survival?" Libby traced the history of AEC sponsored research on fall out aimed at getting "truth, sci entific truth," about it. He said the commission's "Sunshine" project on fallout is "one of the most impressive scientific inves tigations ever made." He said there is general agree ment on the amount of radiation received from the fallout, the amount of the long-lived fission product strontium-90 deposited in the human body and the amount still in the stratosphere. Atomic' "These essential points are generally agreed and the ques tions under debate are really largely political and sociologi cal," he said. "The cause for real concern is not the deleterious effect of ra diation resulting from weapons tests, but rather what would be the effect of the infinitely great er amount of radiation which would result from the massive use of nuclear weapons in war fare," he said. He contended that the critical and essential question demand ing a "political and sociological" answer is are the risks of fall out "tolerable." Five-Cent Hourly Pay Raise Seen In Lumber Industry Portland IP A pay raise of five cents an hour appeared to be shaping up today for lumber industry employees on the Pa cific Coast. The pay hike was attained Tuesday for workers of two large companies with widespread operations in Oregon, Washing ton and California. .The AFL-CIO Lumber and Sawmill Workers and the AFL CIO International Woodworkers of America reached the settle ments in separate negotiations with the Georgia-Pacific Corpor ation and the Willamette Valley Lumber Company. Vacation Provisions The new pacts call for five cent hourly raises effective June 1 and some minor improvements in vacation provisions. They also provide for re-opening of wage talks next October I. The agreements are subject to ratification by union members. About 5.000 LSW employees are covered in the Georgia-Pacific settlement and nearly 1,000 in the Willamette Valley opera tions. Figures were not immed iately available on the number of IWA members affected. The pay hike sets the new minimum wage scale in the in dustry at S2.03 an hour and the average scale at S2.37. Churches United, Graham Points Out New York W Billy Gra ham brought the first three weeks of his New York Crusade to a triumphant close Tuesday night with the comment that "not in 40 years have the Chris tians and their churches been so gloriously united to save their fellow men." "Never before in my ministry have I seen God move so won derfully, so gloriously to save His children." the 38-year-old evangelist said. More than 17,500 persons heard Graham's sermon on cov etousness in Madison Square Garden. The sermon was to have marked the midpoint in the cru sade, but Graham announced Monday the revival will run three weeks longer than plan ned, until July 21. Attendance at the sermons in the first 21 days has run over the 374.500 mark, or an average of 17,800 nightly. . Tuesday night's 536 "decisions for Christ" brought Graham's total of conversions to 12.148 or an average of 578 each night. 1 Wednesday, June S. 19S7 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN U.S. Said To Have No Long-Range Policy Indianapolis, Ind.
