Schweitzer Urges
Immediate End to
Nuclear Blasts
Conference Urged
By Atomic Powers
Oslo, Norway (IP) Dr.
Albert Schweitzer, 83, in a
series of three lectures made
public today, appealed for an
immediate, and uncondition
al suspension of nuclear test
explosions before the world's
atmosphere is poisoned fatal
ly by radioactive pollution.
The Nobel peace prize win
ner, humanist and philosoph
er, also urged the United
States "in this hour of fate,"
to abandon atomic and hyd
rogen weapons as the only
way to prevent a nuclear
war.
Calls for Conference
In a third lecture, written
at his jungle hospital at Lam
barence in French Equator
ial Africa and broadcast over
the Norwegian State Radio,
Schweitzer called for a top
level conference of the
world's three atomic powers
the U.S., Britain and Rus
sia to agree on abandon
ment of nuclear tests and weapons.
Schweitzer said it is he
"particular duty" of women,
as mothers, to demand a final
halt to tests.
Future Said Menaced
"Mankind is imperilled by
the tests," he warned. "Man
kind insists that they stop,
and has every right to do
so. ' I
The lectures were being
broadcast at Schweitzer's re
quest on three consecutive
evenings here, starting to
night. Radio stations in many
other countries also were
broadcasting them at the re
quest of the Norwegian Nobel
Peace Prize committee.
The aged philosopher warn
ed that radiation from test
explosions is a menace to the
future of the human race.
"Generation after genera
tions, for centuries to come,"
he said, "will witness . the
birth of an ever-increasing
number of children with men
tal and physical defects.
"It is the particular duty
of women "to prevent this 5in
against the future . . to raise
their voices against it in such
a way that they will be
heard."

Washington (IP) Allen
W. Dulles, chief of the Cen
tral Intelligence Agency, said
today that Soviet industrial
progress threatens, to outstrip
the United States and poses
"the most serious challenge"
ever faced by this country in
time of peace.
Expensive Luxury
Dulles described the cur
rent American recession as
"an expensive luxury" which
has given the Russians a pro
paganda target as damaging
to U. S. prestige abroad . as
the first Soviet Sputnik.
Dulles spoke at a lunch
held in connection with the
annual meeting of the Unit

about the current state of the
Soviet economy:

For Centennial
The Oregon Centennial
commission met here this
morning in the Medford city
council chambers in one of
nine meetings scheduled
throughout the state.
Eric Allen Jr., chairman of
the Governor's regional advi
sory committee, reported on
the progress of the Jackson
and Josephine county com
mittee. He said one organiza
tional meeting of the group
had been held.
A subcommittee of the
group was appointed to inves
tigate the tourist facilities in
the area and a report would
be made at the group's next
meeting in about two weeks,
he said.
Use of the Oregon state seal
and the Oregon centennial
seal on toothpick packages
by the Pik-Pak Toothpick
company of Medford was ap
proved by the commission.
The firm plans to sell the
packages through Junior
Chamber of Commerce groups
in the state.
The package, which is simi
lar to a package of matches,
has a yellow cover advertis-,1
ing the centennial and a short
message on the inside cover
which tells of local events
taking place during the cen
tennial. Discuss Concessions
In other business the com
mission discussed the opera
tion of the concessions at the
Portland Exposition and In
ternational Trade fair. An
opinion was expressed that
one firm should be granted a
contract which would cover
most concessions and subcon
tracts be granted by that
firm.
A request for financial aid
for the Frank Branch Riley
tour was turned down by the
group. They noted that the
limited funds available would
not permit them to take part
in the request but expressed
their gratitude to Riley for
his work.
The commission also dis
cussed making Astoria the
site of first day cancellations
for the centennial stamp. The
Astoria site is the location of
the first post office in Ore
gon, they noted.

country declined 11 per cent.
For the first time in his

U. S. during the first quarter
of 1958. Russia alone pro

Russian coal production

Step Would Be
Move To Reduce
Tensions, Fears
Letter Renews Plea
On Control of Tests
Augusta, Ga. (IP Presi
dent Eisenhower today urged
Russia to join in a military
control inspection system for
the Arctic zone as "a signifi
cant first step" to help "re
duce tensions and the mutual
fears of surprise attack."
In a letter to Russian Pre
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev,
the President also renewed
his appeal that -Russia agree
to East-West technical studies
on control or suspension of
nuclear tests and general dis
armament. Arctic Zone System
Eisenhower noted that the
United States had proposed
in the U.N. Security Council
that there be set up an inter
national inspection system for
the Arctic zone.
"Your, support of this pro
posal and subsequent coopera
tion would help to achieve
a significant first step, the
President said. '
"It would help reduce ten
sions, it would contribute to
an increase of confidence
among states, and help to re
duce the mutual fears of sur
prise attack."
Declaring that the U.S. "is
determined that we1 will ulti
mately reach an agreement on
disarmament," the President
noted that he had proposed
the technical studies in an
April 8 letter to Khrushchev.
Would Facilitate Agreement
"You say that we might
first reach a final political
agreement before it is worth
while even to initiate the tech
nical studies," Eisenhower
said. "But such studies would,
in fact, facilitate the reaching
of the final agreement you
state you desire." .
The President said solution
of the technical problems nec
essarily would take time. He
bluntly added that he was
"unhappy that valuable time
is now being wasted" by the
Kremlin's refusal to agree to
such studies.
The technical studies, the
President said, "would in
clude the practical problem
of supervision and control
which, you and I agree, are
in any event indispensable
to dependable disarmament
agreements."
The U.S. offer on the tech
nical studies "still and always
will remain open," the Presi
dent said.
The President's 750-word
letter was made public here
shortly after it was delivered '
to the Soviet Foreign Office
in Moscow by U.S. Ambassa
dor Llewellyn Thompson.
