Holmes Sees Good Progress Made in Program for State UAW Hails Verdict By Supreme Court Detroit rtP The United Auto Workers today hailed a U.S. Supreme Court decision barring employers from insist ing that all workers vote on every company offer before a union can call a strike. The high court Monday ruled that the UAW was right in refusing to bargain with Borg-Warner Corp.'s Wooster, Ohio, plant on such a no-strike-without-a-vote clause. The court said the com pany's insistence on such a clause was a refusal to bar gain under the Taft-Hartley Act. A UAW spokesman here said the decision won't affect the UAW in most of its bar gaining but "it is a very im portant decision for labor law, particularly in the South where employers still try about everything to tie up the unions."

HOLMES An Interesting Time the Legislature has made "substantial" progress on his program for the state. Changed Registration A former Republican, Holmes changed registration in 1947. In 1948 he was elect ed to the state Senate and was reelected in 1950 and 1954. One of his special interests is education and he served as chairman of the Senate Edu cation Committee ' in . 1953.

Which Authority To Follow Poses Biggest Problem By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent Washington (IP) There are famous men and powerful ar guments on both sfdes of the c o n t r oversy over halting nuclear tests The citizen who would like to base his opinion on "what the experts say' is c o nf ronted with deciding Louis Cassels which author ity he will follow. Edward Teller or Linus Pauling in science? John Foster Dulles or Lewis L. Strauss in govern ment? Albert bchweitzer or Pope Pius in religion? For the citizen who wants to examine the issues for him self, here is a summary of the principal arguments for and against a test ban: " Atmosphere 'Contamination' Nuclear tests spew radioac tive particles into the atmos phere. Some of these particles descend as "local fallout'' in the general area of the explo sion. Everyone agrees that this local fallout is deadly. Other particles reach the upper atmosphere where they continue to drift around the earth for years before de scending in rain or snow, per haps continents distant from the test site. There is vigorous dispute over how great a haz ard this delayed fallout pre sents to. the human race. Some distinguisnea scien tists like Dr. Pauling, Nobel prize-winning biochemist of the California Institute of Technology, hold that the long-term danger is so great that nuclear tests should be stopped immediately. Other scientists, including Dr. Teller, who pioneered the H-bomb, contend that the fall out hazard has been greatly exaggerated. National Security A more immediate ques tion, which is currently being threshed out at the top levels of the Eisenhower a'dministra tion, is whether the military disadvantages of halting U.S tests would outweigh the for eign policy gains that could be achieved. The military disadvantages loom very large in the minds of Admiral Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy com mission, and some Pentagon officials. The United States is still trying to perfect at least two types of nuclear weapons that defense strategists con sider very important. One is an H-bomb warhead for long- range ballistic missiles. The other is an "anti-missile mis sile" to intercept and destroy enemy rockets en route to the targets. On the other hand, many diplomats believe there are compelling foreign policy rea sons for the United States to come out in favor of an inter national ban on nuclear tests, backed up by a global inspec tion svstem. Secretary of State Dulles is now reported to be presenting these reasons vigorously in administration councils. Inspection Could Russia cheat on an agreement to halt nuclear tests without our catching them at it? '-."- This has become a 'major side issue. Big nuclear explo sions can be fairly quickly de tected by monitoring the ra dioactive content of upper air currents or by seismographs which register earth tremors Strauss argues that an un derground test of compara tively small size "probably can be concealed." - 'Fourth Country' Problem One argument for a nuclear test ban, which has been made by the Federation of American scientists among others, is that it would pre vent a widening of the atomic arms race to other countries. Only the United States, Rus sia and Britain now have H bombs. The more countries that have such weapons, it is contended, the more difficult will be the ultimate job of working out an atomic dis armament plan. The reverse of this argu ment is that Britain, which began testing nuclear weap ons only a few years ago, and France, which is still work ing toward the test stage, would oppose any U.S. Soviet move to ban tests. The Moral Question Dr. Schweitzer, the famous medical missionary who won the 1952 Nobel Peace prize, contends that it is fundamen tally immoral for world pow ers to continue testing nu clear weapons because of the effects that radioactivity may PHOENIX Festival Date Announced Phoenix The 10th annual Phoenix festival will be held Saturday, June 14, according to festival chairman Chet Parker. The Phoenix festival is sponsored by various organ izations and clubs of the com munity, to raise money to sup port the town's Community club.

Mr. Wilson's eighth grade room chose new class officers have on future generations. Pope Pius XII, on the other hand, has held on at least two occasions that free nations are morally justified in con tinuing to develop and test nuclear weapons until an ef fective international disarma ment agreement is in force. for the coming six weeks last week. Those elected were president, Bonnie Faytinger; vice-president, Sharon Hall; secretary, Chyrl Bowman; treasurer, Ralph Younger and sergeant - at - arms, Norman Glassock.
