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."

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
