United States and the Soviet Union are much like those be tween the United States' and Spain at the end of the last cen tury. Remember the Maine? There was an explosion, the origin of which was never really deter mined, that precipitated war. What will happen if a nuclear weapon explodes today? Assum ing that it was not a planned test, how do you determine re liably whether it represents the beginning of an attack or not?

Judy Frink Reporter This is the age of "nuclear plenty" for the United States and the Soviet Union and per haps Great Britain. We have thousands of atomic and hydro gen bombs, all in the custody of error-prone human beings like you and me. Sure, we have elaborate pre cautions against an accidental detonation of a nuclear weapon. I imagine they had some pre cautions against the Maine blow ing up. But it blew up and the war started. When Gen. Herbert B. Loper, DOES HE LEAVE IT REST OF THE FAMILY? ( OH YOU VE GOT ONE LIKE HIM HOME,TOO, EH ? ) Defense Rapped by Business Group Washington OF) The Senate Small Business Committee charges the Defense Department with "lethargy, inaction and pro crastination" in its programs to allot contracts to small business. In a report on government pro curement policies, the commit tee said small business received 19.6 per cent of the money spent by the Defense Department in each of the past two fiscal years compared with 21.5 per cent in fiscal 1955. The report also said small business was getting a decreas ing percentage of the contracts it was capable of handling. The committee said this percentage shrank from 69.4 two years ago to 60.5 in the fiscal year ending last June 30. The report blamed "an atti tude of indifference" on the part ! of military procurement officials for the failure of small business to get a larger share of the de fense dollar.

This is the second straight year that Nor stad has withdrawn into the ex clusive seclusion of Villa Creda on Lake Maggiore to greet the New Year. CioSlP! January 2-3-4 for INVENTORY S3MS 23 North Fir Blast Starting War defense department secretary for atomic energy, and I dis cussed probability he used one in a bililon as the chance of an in a billion as the chance of ac cidental explosion caused by in advertance or mechanical f aiure. He readily agreed that no such comfortable margin existed for explosions resulting from a cus todian's mind cracking, his sell ing out or getting drunk. He ac cepted as true that an unauthor ized explosion was probable and told me that the department's plans were being made on that premise. Blast Inevitable The common sense conclusion is that an unauthorized nuclear explosion is not only probable, but inevitable. Some custodian's mind will crack under his re sponsibilities or for other rea sons, or he will get drunk, or sell out, or perhaps act for pur poses he believes idealistic. Then what happens? Of course it is tragic for those in the vicin ity, but that may be the price of deterrence and I do not propose Schools Add Up Grants, Gifts Eugene 0P Oregon's nine state-supported institutions of higher education counted almost $3 million in gifts and grants during the past six months, ex ceeding the previous record for an entire year. .

Curry County Court Decision Reversed .Salem OP) The State Su preme Court today reversed a Curry county Circuit Court de condemnation action and order ed a new trial. The judgment had been grant ed to Kate M. Bailey, Mary El eanor and Leslie Zumwalt, and Alice A. and Bernard Mather.

Guns fre quently kill their users but we don't give up their employment. We do make it clear that this danger exists and this is what we have not done for our nu clear weapons. A nuclear explosion is hard to investigate. You can't probe into twisted wreckage and re construct circumstances by in ference. You have a hole many miles in diameter and all the possible witnesses are very dead. Washington (IP) The De fense department today scoffed at a congressman's statement that it is "more likely than not" an atomic bomb will explode by accident. Herbert B. Loper, retired ma jor general who is special assist ant for atomic energy to De fense Secretary Neil H. McEl roy, agreed he told Rep. Charles O. Porter (D.-Ore.) such an acci dental blast was "a mathemati cal probability." However Loper told newsmen he went on to estimate to Por ter that . this probability was about one in three billion. - "Which means the likelihood of such an accidental nuclear ex plosion is practically non-existent," Loper added. These were almost the same words used by former Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson last Feb. 20 when he announced U.S. air defenses would use nu clear weapons. Wilson said tests , by the Atomic Energy commission had established that chances of a nu clear explosion were "virtually non-existent." Thornton Rules on TB Admissions Salem OP) Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton today told the State Board of Control it had no authority to certify that adopted Korean children suffer ing from tuberculosis would be treated in state institutions. Requests for this certification had been received from Harry Holt, the Creswell farmer who has been airlifting Korean waifs, and from numerous parents who have adopted Korean children. "It is a statutory requirement that a person is not eligible for admission to a state tuberculosis hospital unless he is an Oregon citizen and has been a resident of the state for one year imme diately preceding his admission," Thornton told the board. Thornton said he was render ing the opinion "reluctantly" but that the statutory require ment of residence in Oregon could not be waived.
