UN Report Gets
New Test Debates
. 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.

AF Grounds All
Slaughters
Hamilton AFB, Calif. (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.
Their complaints covered
a wide range from uncomfort
able beds to dissatisfaction
with having grace said at
mealtimes.
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.

ier of the bank in Halfway,
