state chamber of commerce.
Knight took public notice of
the widespread rumors that
Knowland will run against him
next' year by ending his pre
pared speech with these off-the-cuff
remarks:
No Inside Information
"I have no inside information
as to his plans, but if he (Know
land) should decide to run, I
take this occasion to assure him
and all of you that I intend to
wage a very vigorous campaign,
but a fair, cleancut campaign,
conducted on principles, not on
personalities."
At a news conference, Know
land said he wasn't ready to
discuss his decision until he
tours the state. But he took on
Knight for the governor's stand
cn right-to-work legislation, told
reporters that he didn't think a
contested primary election
would wreck the GOP, and then
said:
"I've never been intimidated

Senator Questions
Film Star's Rank
Washington OP) Sen. Marg
aret Chase Smith (R-Maine) who
has been waging a running feud
with the Air Force over the
proposed promotion of movie
star Jimmy Stewart to reserve
brigadier general, fired another
salvo before Congress adjourned.
The Congressional Record Sat
urday carried a new charge from
the lady senator that the Air
Force, in suggesting Stewart for
promotion, "places success in big
business and movies" above mili
tary training.
Stewart is an Air Force re
serve colonel. Mrs. Smith block
ed his promotion, along with one
proposed for a General Electric
Corp. executive.
In her latest assault she re
peated her charge that Lt. Gen.
Emmett O'Donnell Jr., Air Force
deputy chife of staff for person
nel, resorted to "misrepresent
ations and falsehoods" in testi
fying before the Senate Armed
Services committee on the pro
motions. Her opposition to Stewart was
based on the fact that he has had
only nine days of training in the
past 11 years.
She commended the Air Force
for dropping about 50,000 re
serve officers for inactivity. But
she denounced "a double-standard
application of this policy
whereby some . . . have ap
parently been permitted to re
main in the reserves despite
little or no reserve participa
tion." Arcadian Hurt,

Sick Girl Awaits Switch
Of Her Sister's Kidney

twin girl lay dying in Peter Bent
Brigham hospital Saturday her
condition so poor doctors could
not immediately perform a life
saving kidney transplant oper
ation. The operation involves a
transfer of a healthy kidney
from her identical twin Doris,
who Friday pleaded successfully
in the Massachusetts Supreme
Court for permission to give the
vital organ.
Hospital officials said early
Saturday that every effort was
being made to improve Delores
Huskey's condition "just a little"
to allow the surgery. Doctors
said no attempt probably would
be made until early next week.
The court ruling was asked
by doctors who were advised
that neither the twins nor their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Victory
Huskey of De Soto, Mo., could
legally consent to the surgery,
since the girls are minors.
Doris told Justice Arthur E.
Whittemore, "I would not be
able to live with myself if I
couldn't give her this kidney. I
know my sister will die of the
operation is not performed."

Scientists Proposes
Bomb Tests Stopped
Los Angeles HP) Dr. Her
mann J. Muller, Nobel prize
winning scientist, Saturday pro
posed the United States stop H
bomb tests for one year without
waiting for Russia to take sim
ilar action.
"This would noj put us back
a great deal," he told a press
conference, "and it would have
an important moral efect and
would be a challenge to Russia.
We can stop testing because each
country already has the power
to destroy the other.
"Our most precious trust is
hereditary material," he contin
ued. 'Even though nuclear war
wouldn't so ruin the hereditary
material of survivors as to cause
a noticeably more abnormal hu
man race, still the damage would
be there and would be serious.
One can reckon that in the end
there would be, in all probabil
ity, as many deaths caused in
future generations as would have
been caused by the war itself."
Muller, professor of zoology
at Indiana university, won the
Nobel prize in biology in 1946
for pioneer research in genetic
effects from radiation.

successful the test was.
