EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Ike Says Scientists Can Build 'Clean' Bomb If Tests Continued Washington f President Eisenhower said today thai American scientists have told him they can produce nuclear bombs with absolutely no fall out if nuclear tests are contin ued for another four to five years. Despite the scientific argu ments in favor of continuing tests, Eisenhower told his news conference that U.S. proposals to suspend nuclear tests as part of ; a f:rst step disarmament agree mmt still stand.

This government, he de clared, has no intention of with drawing its proposal to suspend nuclear tests. The President at the same time spoke out anew against a war in the nuclear age. He said there can be no such thing as a victorious power in a global war of the future. The President said scientists Ernest O.

Eisenhower said the scientists asked for four or five years to test each stage of development and they will produce an abso lutely clean bomb, the President said. This would mean, he added, that there would be no radio active fallout to injure civilians outside the heat and blast area around a military target. No Clean Bomb Now The President's remarks made it clear that there is no such thing now as an absolutely clean H-bomb. The Atomic Energy Commission's top test official, Dr. Alvin C. Graves of the Los Alamos, N. M., bomb laboratory, told a congressional subcommit tee recently that the absolutely clean H-bomb is impossible be cause it still requires an A-bomb I trigger, and A-bombs are in herently dirty. A reporter asked the Presi dent what possibility there is that Russia might make a so called "clean bomb." Eisenhower said this is an ex cellent question which he asks himself. He expressed hope that the Russians would learn how to make clean bombs and know how to use them. Then, he said, these weapons would be used for specific purposes and not for mass destruction Fishing Man Feared Drowned in Nehalem Tillamook, Ore. w Mor ris S. Reeves, about 55, was feared drowned Tuesday after a wave capsized the 15-foot skiff in which he and his wife, Dor othy, were fishing. Mrs. Reeves managed to reach shore by swimming and hanging ; onto the skiff. The accident occurred as they ; came into the Nehalem river following an hour's fshing. Mr !

Nickerson's court mar tial spent all morniig today questioning a former German rocketry expert behind closed doors as he presumably related intimate details of America's missiles program. German-born Dr. Ernst Stuh linger, who Tuesday praised Nickerson in open court as one of the three top men of the Army intermediate range missile team at Redstone Arsenal here, pre sumably was being to specific for public knowledge in today's locked door testimony. Careless With Secrets Nickerson was found guilty, after his own confession, Tues day' of being careless with the nation's missile secrets. The Army dropped charges of espi onage and perjury against him. The court is hearing defense witnesses so as to determine how severely to punish Nickerson. He could get either a reprimand Red Chinese Premier Leaves No Doubt Of Gigantic Blood Bath Tokyo "fl Chinese Com - munist Premier Chou En-lai said today one out of every six persons accused of "counter revo lutionary "activities by the Pci ping government had been exe cuted. Chou did not mention the num ber actually executed but he left no dubt it was one of the largest blood baths in history. Western sources have placed the number of executions in the millions. Chou also disclosed that Red China had been hit during the past year with the "worst na tural calamities" in several dec ades. Reports of Trouble His admission lent weight to reports of trouble within Red China, climaxed recently by Communist leader Mao Tze tung's decision to take a softer lina toward critics of the regime. Chou, in a 30,000-word report on events of the past year, de voted much of his speech to a bitter attack on the United Stat es. He accused the U.S. of threat ening world peace with war pre parations. Chou said the natural calami ties that struck China in the past year were "not only the worst since the liberation but al so the worst in the last few dec ades ... it was indeed a severe test." Suppression Crews Alfend Fire School Eighty members of the Rogue River National Forest fire sup pression force underwent a three-day training session last week at forest camp No. 2. about 10 miles east of Butte Falls. Attending the session, which was held June 19-21, were guards, lookouts, suppression crews and other project crews who will also aid in fire sup pression work. Fifteen foresters from all five districts of the Rogue River National forest were instructors. Instruction included detec-1 tion or discovery of the fire by the lookout, smoke chasing or ; finding a fire by suppression crews, and actual fire suppres sion. Small demonstration fires were set at the camp and extin-1 guished by the trainees, using two methods. One method In volves use of water and the other is "dry mop-up," In which no water is used but various types : of tools are used to put the fire ' out. Lecture sessions were also 1 held. ! After the school, trainees re- i turned to their individual dis-, tricts and received their assign- ments for the season. S. T. (Ten- j ny) Moore, fire control officer ; for the Rogue River National for-1 est, said he considered this year's training session to be a "highly ' successful school." It is held an nually. CP Rural Firemen Called To Blazes Central Point Central Point rural firemen were called to a fire in grass and brush back of the Harold Twedell residence on Wilson road about noon yes terday. Firemen said that the blaze covered about three acres and was caused by two small boys playing with matches. Three rur al department vehicles were sent to the fire and state forestry department vehicle and crew also came to the scene. Fire men were on the blaze for about 1 hour and 45 minutes. The rural department was summoned when a car fire oc curred about 1:50 p.m. yesterday at the Tolo junction. Firemen stated that a hot emergency brake caused the fire which did no damage. The car belong ed to Al Bishop. Central Point A grass fire of about one-half acre also was reported about 8:30 p.m. yesterday on Corey rd. or up to 30 years imprisonment. Stuhlinger was led along clas sified channels by special civil ian defense counsel Ray H. Jenkins who planned to put on the stand next Dr. Wernber von Braun, head of the German sci entific group at the Redstone base. Nickerson pleaded guilty to a 15-count charge of violation of Army regulations Tuesday after the Army had withdrawn a charge involving espionage and perjury. Light Sentence Sought The much decorated veteran of World War II could be sen tenced to anything from a rep rimand to 30 years in prison, heavy fines and dismissal. The defense hopes to keep the sen tence to a minimum by showing that Nickerson acted out of loy alty to the Army and the coun try. Stuhlinger said the Redstone team working with the Army Ballistics Missiles Agency never ' Reports reaching the outside world told of mighty floods on the Yellow river and the Yangtze and of widespread famine, but today was the first official admis sion of the extent of the calam ity. Chou spoke at the opening ses sion of the Chinese National Peo ples Congress in Peiping. The congress theoretically is the high est body in the Red Chinese government.

He rated the colonel, chief co ordinator of the ABMA, with Maj. Gen. J. B. Medaris. agency commander, and Dr. Werhner Von Braun, the top scientist, as the three aces of the team. Secret Testimony Given Jenkins told reporters later that Stuhlinger was even more impressive in his defense testi mony in a closed session, dealing with secret details, than in his open court appearance. Stuhlinger admitted in open court cross-examination that Nickerson had used bad judg ment in sending memos and se cret defense documents to out side individuals to support the Army's case for intermediate missile development. The colonel acted after Secre tary of Defense Charles E. Wil son last November ordered the Air Force to take charge of weapons of that class. international situation "had been developing in general along lines beneficial to world peace and against war." Peace Threatened "But the peace has been con stantly threatened by the imper ialist policy of arms expansion anH war preparations under the U.S. leadership." Chou asserted Chou pledged Peiping's full sup port for a conference of states concerned to settle the Korean question which he said was pro posed June 21 by Communist North Korea.
