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.
As of now, the President said.

the world's fears require the
U.S. to go right ahead with a
conditional offer to suspend
tests. 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.

Vodkas are not all alike but you don't have to give it another thought
if jrou take the precaution of specifying Smirnoff Vodka.
Smirnoff is the vodka of vodkas, made from grain just as it has been made
tar 133 years, by the exclusive Smirnoff process.
It's smart to drink Smirnoff in more ways than one.

are producing bombs with 96
per cent less fallout than that of
the so-called "dirty" H-bomb of
1954.
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

Careless With Secrets
Nickerson was found guilty,

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.

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

to the fire and state forestry

also came to the scene. Fire
men were on the blaze for about
1 hour and 45 minutes.

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
