Golden Rule
Ship
Warned To
Stay
From Atomic Area
Honolulu (IP The crew
of the ketch Golden Rule
was formally warned to stay
out of the U. S. atomic test
ing area 61 the South Pacific.
But the skipper said he and
his three crewmen were de-'
terminer! to sail on to Eni
wetok to protest against the
forthcoming tests.
The trim, 30-foot craft ar
rived at Ali Wai yacht har
bor Saturday on the 25th
day of a voyage that started
at Long Beach, Calif.
As the boat docked, the
Coast Guard Captain of the
port, Lt. Cmdr. Risto Mattla,
went aboard and handed the
men a copy of the Atomic
; Energy commission order pro
' hibiting entry into the test
area.
Albert Smith Bigelow, the
former U. S. Navy lieutenant
commander heading the pro
test expedition, said he and
;' his crew planned to com
plete the voyage despite the
. warning. He said they would
- leave as soon as the vessel
undergoes minor repairs and
i reprovisioning.
He told newsmen, "in no
" sense do we seek to be
martyrs. We are merely pro
. testing with the body."
He and the others declined
t to make direct answers to
v questions on whether they ac
tually expected to be permit-
- ted into the test area to ex
pose themselves to possible
: radiation exposure from the
tests.
Bigelow said even if the
boat was halted, the wide-
. spread publicity would make
the trip worthwhile.
Other than the delivery of
the official order, there was
; no other indication that the
j government would try to halt
. the voyage here. One military
official who asked that his
name not be used said the
boat would be stopped by the
; Navy if and when it got with
in five miles of the test zone
boundary.

Seik Morse Urges
Businessmen Join
To Fight Slump
Dayton, Ohio (IP) Sen.
Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), said
here Friday night that "bus
inessmen should be joining,
not opposing, labor in trying
to get business back on the
track."
Morse, speaking at a testi
monial dinner for District
President William Smoots of
Workers, said:
"I personally am at a loss
to understand why business
men throughout the country
have not joined with those of
of us in Congress and with
labor in urging an immediate
cut in personal income taxes
to put these dollars where
they will do the most good
into the hands of custom
ers." Has Much to Lose
He said "business in Ameri
ca has as much to lose as
labor from economic col
lapse."
Morse said he had co-sponsored
two income tax mea
sures in the Senate following
the leadership of Sen. Paul
Douglas (D-Ill.). One would
cut each taxpayer's taxes by
$50 and the other would
raise personal exemptions
from $600 to $800, he said.
"On April 14, Dr. Arthur
Burns, and his colleagues on
the economics faculty at Co
lumbia University . went far
beyond the measures advocat
ed even by myself and Sen.
Douglas," Morse said.
"They said an immediate
tax cut of 10 billion dollars
was the first step to be taken
if recession is to be fought
successfully," he said.
Rep. Green Tells
Of Red Education
i
Moscow 0PI Rep. Edith
S. Green (D-Ore.), said she
was "impressed" by Russian
schools after ending her eight
day inspection tour of Soviet
education facilities here.
"I think they're doing a
better job than we are. I am
very much impressed," she
told reporters before board
ing plane for home.,
Mrs. Green, Portland, said
Soviet schools were concen
trating far less on science
than is generally believed in
the United States.
"I think we're kidding our
selves if we think they are
concentrating exclusively on
science and engineering," she
said. A large percentage of
Russian students are receiv
ing training in the humanit
ies. Mrs. Green held talks with
Soviet education officials and
visited Moscow university
during her stay here.
She said she was taking
home catalogs of the Moscow
and Leningrad universities
which have been difficult to
obtain in the 'United States.

Which reminds us of what a
young Englishman gave as a
definition for cigarette smok

This, in turn brings to
mind an editorial in the MT

law regarding minors smok
ing cigarettes and - people
selling or giving them to
minors. This harmful habit is
so common among teenagers
that we thought perhaps the
law had been repealed. We
remember some 50 years ago
when the law was being plan

tified that about 90 per cent
of the delinquent juveniles
brought into his court were
cigarette smokers.
Both editorials, the one in

the one by E. A. are com
