Washington, (UPD A United Nations committee re port on the hazards of radia tion fallout has stimulated new debate on whether the United States should continue testing of atomic weapons. Sources close to the situa tion indicated they would be surprised if this country call ed off testing without an in ternational agreement to ban such tests, and an inspection system to guarantee enforce ment. One indication was an At omic Energy Commission statement which said "man must learn to live" with the radiation problem. Russia announced after an extensive spring test .series that it was halting its atomic tests, but implied it might re sume them if the United States failed to follow suit. President Eisenhower later hinted the United States may announce a similar test halt if scientists learn enough from the current Pacific test series. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.), chairman of the Senate Disarmament Subcom mittee, told -the Senate Mon day that reports of increasing radioactivity from nuclear tests make it "imperative" that nations having nuclear weapons "immediately re examine and reappraise our policies" on continued nuclear testing. He said the UN report "shows there is still a grea-1 deal about the somatic and genetic effects of radiation that are hidden from us. We are like children playing with dynamite." He said, however, any such agreement must include an effective inspection system. Negro Seeks Post Of Committeeman Texarkana, Ark. (UPD The first Negro ever to run in an Arkansas Democratic pri mary sought the post of com mitteeman for Congressional District Four in today's elec tion. . He is G. C. Mackey, who is opposed by two white candi dates for the post. Mackay was appointed to the committeeman post in 1956 by Gov. Orval E. Fau bus and served through 1957 when the Arkansas Legisla ture made committeeman an elective position. If elected, Mackay would be a member of the State Democratic Cen tral Committee and a dele gate to the Democratic Na tional Convention. MEDFORD Morse Opposed To Territory Ranking For Washington By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington Having voted to convert the territory of Alaska into a new state, Con gress is now debating whether to create a new territory out of the nation's capital. For if the citizens of Alaska have been powerless to run their own afairs, the citizens of Washington, D.C., have been doubly so. They can't vote for any officials. So the Eisenhower adminis tration has come up with a bill to make the District of Columbia a territory, com plete with a presidentially ap pointed governor, a legisla tive assembly and a non-voting delegate in the House of Representatives. But Sen. Wayne Morse (D Ore.), who supported state hood for Alaska, is strongly opposed to territoryhood for Washington. He prefers that a commission be established by Congress to write a charter of self-government for the city. Local citizens would then vote to accept or reject the charter. Morse is a top ranking member of the Sen ate committee which handles D.C. bills. The political problem of handling government in the federal capital has always per plexed Congress and its resi dents. The Constitution stipu lates that Congress was to "exercise exclusive legislation in all "cases whatsoever over such district ... for the erec tion of forts, magazines, ar senals, dockyards, and other needful buildings." Tight Rein Ever since the District was carved out of the Maryland shore of the Potomac river, Congress has held pretty tight rein on running its affairs, even to regulating the size of rock fish than can be sold in local markets. Two days of each month are designated in the House for district bills only. Alterations have been made from time to time in the local government, but in recent years it has been composed of three commissioners ap pointed by the president, one of whom was an engineer from the Army Corps of En gineers to look after public works improvements. The commissioners have jurisdic tion over the police and fire departments, they make regu lations governing life, health and property of residents,. thev supervise local public utilities. Schools are under a board whose members are ap pointed by the judges of the supreme court of the District. Judges are appointed by the president. Since the federal govern ment owns a large share of Housewives Save Lives of Children Covina. Calif. (UPD Two housewives were credited to day with saving the lives of two children by mouth-to- mouth breathing, a life-saving trick one of them read about in the newspapers. The two, Mrs. Betty D. Pow ers, 30, and Mrs. Ellen Angels, 22, worked quickly when the two children, 11-month-old Donnie Throness and his un cle, 1-year-old Raymond Mor eno, were carried into Mrs. Powers' home from next door Monday. Donnie's mother, Mrs. Bar bara E. Thorness, had discov ered the children face down in the bathtub where she had left them to gather her wash ing from the line. One of the babies had turned the tap and filled the tub while Mrs. Thorness was outside. Gathering one of the chil dren in her arms, the frantic mother rushed next door for help. The other little victim was carried by a friend, Pa tricia McCracken, 19, living at the Thorness home. Mrs. Thorness' quick-thinking neighbor brought Donnie around almost immediately and worked over Raymond for 30 minutes. When county firemen ar rived they found, both chil dren crying lustily. Trial Date Set for Yachtsman Reynolds Honolulu (LTD Yachts man Earle Reynolds will stand trial on Aug. 25 on charges that he wilfully sail ed his yacht "Phoenix" into the Eniwetok nuclear danger zone with his wife and fam ily. Federal Judge J. Frank McLaughlin set the date Mon day after denying Reynolds' request for an extension until Sept. 24 that would have per mitted a mainland attorney to enter the case. the real estate in the Dis trict, Congress each year ap propriates a share of the Dis trict's budget and the citi zens are taxed to make up the balance. The U.S. share is now about 10 per cent. No Representation This means the nearly one million residents of Washing ton are taxed without any representation. They pay the federal income tax, the Dis trict income tax, a 2 per cent sales tax, and real property tax. They can't vote for presi dent, and have no representa tives in Congress to elect. Various plans for home rule have been promoted over the years. The Senate has passed home rule legislation three times, but each time the House balked. The chairman of the House District Com mittee is Rep. McMillan (D S.C.), who is adamantly op posed to giving local residents self-government. McMillan personifies the point of view of many south ern oriented lawmakers who oppose home rule because of the city's large Negro popula tion. It's good politics back home to oppose legislation that would give Negroes in the nation's capital a chance to help run things. The ratio of Negro to white in the city is changing fairly rapidly as many whites move to outlying suburbs in Mary land and Virginia where ex tensive housing developments have been constructed. Negroes, generally barred from residing in these subur ban communities, move into npw areas of the city where r.nly whites once lived. This changing condition is one of the strongest factors that 'ap parently blocks home rule legislation, so chances of a new territory being created are very slight. & S'TTATTEWDDE NAGftllE FOR i Ml ik I X 4iri.vA SPECIAL NOTICE TO FIRST NATIONAL BANK CUSTOMERS: Please continue to use your current checks, deposit slips, bankbooks and other banking materials.

(UPD The Air Force has ordered its fastest and newest fighter interceptor, the F104 Star fighter, grounded for "mod ification." The order came from Wash ington and applied to all Star fighters in the country. The order came after Capt. Iven C. Kincheloe, 29, "who flew higher in space than any man alive," was killed recent ly near Yuma, Ariz., in the crash of an F104. The Air Force had intended Kincheloe to fly a rocket powered plane 60 miles into the atmosphere. The Starf ighter was ground ed once before. That was shortly after Col. Raymond Evans, commanding officer of the 83rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron, was killed while attempting to land one at Hamilton AFB on March 3. The Air Force said "exces sive vibration" was to blame for the crash that killed Ev ans. Maj. Robert Merritt of Hamilton AFB said "exper ience has indicated that cer tain modifications will im prove the overall efficiency of the plane." The F104 was introduced at Hamilton AFB last Feb. 20. Crewmen Leave Long Document About Jail Honolulu (UPD Five crew men of the nuclear protest yacht Golden Rule left be hind them a 15-page docu ment listing the shortcomings of the Honolulu city jail.

The pacifists three of them Quakers said they considered grace ip jail a vio lation of the First Amend ment since it constitutes com pulsory religion. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, August 12, 193S 7' Baby Swapper Said Married to Other Man Tulsa, Okla. (UPD A wom an claiming to be the mother of Mrs. Richard Readdy, who swapped her baby for a pick up truck, has charged Mrs. Readdy really is married to another man, police said to day. A police detective told United Press International a woman who identified herself as Mrs. E. C- Neal, Center, Tex., Mrs. Readdy's mother, called to say Mrs. Readdy still is married to Jim Divine.

Halfway' Man Given 2!-Year Sentence Portland' (UPD Clair Rit ter, 52-year-old former cash ier of the bank in Halfway, Ore., who admitted embez zling $99,072 in bank funds, was sentenced to 2Vz years in the state penitentiary Monday. U.S. District Judge Wil liam East passed sentence. The bank, only one in the tiny Eastern Oregon commu nity shut its doors when the discrepancy was revealed. Ritter told authorities he had invested the money in prop erty. His attorney, Anthony Yturri, told the court Ritter j had turned the property over to the bank and that no loss would be felt by stockholders and depositors of the bank. The money was embezzled over a period of 20 years. . Yturri also said that Ritter had not lost the respect of his friends in Halfway. Some of thp- residents there have offered to finance a $44,000 motel for Ritter when he gets out of prison, the attorney said. oft ffqaTi fOUTlAN' riANO Formerly The First National Bank of Portland The Readdys were appre hended at Sapulpa, Okla., Sat urday, six miles from the spot where they had given the in fant to Jesse Burger, El Dor ado, Mo., in exchange for his truck.
