Paul De Laney, ' Chicago attorney, learns that Vatican art expert Ama dore Porcella has pronounced painting work of Gior gione, sixteenth century master, with value of $1,000,000. Quotes From the flews By United Press International Chatsworth, Calif. - Undersheriff Volney Cummins, on .the dynamite plot by two former cult members which re sulted in the death of at least nine persons at the Fountain of the World sect headquarters: "The two men were unhappy with the master and said they had tried through authorities to bring him to justice. Unable to do so, they would take care of the paster them-selves." Atlanta, Ga. - Ralph Castleberry, jury foreman at the trial of one of the men indicted for dynamiting a Jewish temple, on the reason the jury members did not convict the defendant: 'The consensus was that the bombing was at a time and manner that whoever did it had no intention of taking 'any lives.

"Is that the regular price or does it include the extras?" Washington - President Eisenhower, denying former President Truman's assertion that he had been mad at Truman since the 1952 campaign: "I think that most of you have found that I have had a little bit too much sense lo waste my time getting mad at anybody." Decentralization Of Workers Given Setback in Plans Washington - (LTD - Take 1,660 government workers and move them from the steamy confines of traffic clogged Washington to the peaceful and pleasant Mary land countryside. A worker's paradise? No, say a number of officials of the Atomic Energy Commis sion. Nothing but chaos and trouble. The groans are by no means unanimous atfer 10 months of country living at the AEC's new Germantown, Md., headquarters. But they are frequent enough to give the cause of government de centralization its worst set back so far. The trouble started shortly after the government con structed the garden-type S13 million structure on an iso lated 109-acre tract 30 miles ILLINOIS VALLEY Queen Contest Slated By RUTH RAUSCH Cave Junction The grand mothers of Illinois valley are participating in the first Grandmother Queen contest for the Illinois Valley Centen nial Jubilee three-day celebra tion scheduled for the 1959 Labor Day week end. .

(DPD -The Atomic Energy Corhmission anoriunced oday that 'a high explosive; test was conducted about noon i Tuesday '. at the Nevada test site -by ' the De partment of Defense. The AEC explaneg that the t e s t belatedly,- announced was an armed, forces special weapons - project, in which four test storage tanks located at various distances from the point of detonation were sub jected" to the.blast wave from 40,000 pounds of TNT. The AEC said the results of the blast ' are ..expected to aid in future .design of petroleum storage facilities.

Before returning home, they all drove to Newport and the home of another son-in-law spent the following week at the home of another son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Bob McKinnon. They arrived home Sunday, Dec. 7. northwest of the White House. Work Days Lengthened These are some of the "cracks" in the picture win dow: Most of the employes still continue to live in Wash ington and their work days have been lengthened by the longer time it takes to go to and from work. Their salaries were cut indirectly by the higher transportation costs. The five AEC commission ers and other top officials have to spend much of their day traveling back and forth to Washington to attend meet ings at the White House, the State Department and the Na tional Security Council. Many officials now have their chauffered cars equipped with phones and dictating ma chines. The agency can't keep em ployes after the regular quit ting hour to complete rush assignments. Employes kept late would miss their buses and car pools and would have no other way to get home. Acres Rezoned To add insult to injury, 110 acres directly across from the AEC have been rezoned by Montgomery County to light industry. AEC officials now fear the clear rural air even tually will be polluted by smoke, smells and noises. Paul Foster, the AEC's gen eral manager, would like to see the commission's building turned over to some other fed eral agency and the AEC put back "where it belongs in Washington so it can do its work." Foster, who regards the move as a "failure," says it would take about five years for the agency and its em ployes to adjust to the trans fer. Meanwhile, he adds, a lot of work isn't getting done. But other officials have come to the defense of the new headquarters. Arthur L. Tackman, AEC personnel director, notes that only 217 employes left the agency because of the move. The loss of some 400-450 had been predicted. Most of those who did leave were not top professional or technical peo ple. Clerks Hardest Hit The clerical class was hard est hit. Typists simply shifted to other agencies in Washing-, ton. But Tackman claims he's having no trouble recruiting replacements from area resi dents. At present the AEC is sub sidizing buses to make runs to Germantown. But buses that originate in Falls Church, Va., a suburb of Washington where many federal workers live, must start before 7 a.m. to get employees to their jobs by 8:30.

It soared up 66,654 miles.; Point Mugu, Calif. -(CPD-The Navy has revealed plans for a proposed 15-year expan sion program which would turn an area of one million square nautical miles of the Pacific ocean into a gigantic test section for the launching and recovery of American missiles and space vehicles. Cmdr. Joseph Pace, resourc es and facilities officer at the Pacific missile range here, outlined the program. He said it already has been presented to the Department of Defense for approval. Would Be Ideal The huge space testing area would border on Johnston, Tarawa and Christmas islands in the South Pacific. Pace said the vast ' section would be ideal for use as the recovery area for Project Di nosaur, in which a man is to be orbited around the earth and then returned. Manus island in the large area was described in the Navy plan as the best location for launching an equatorial orbit satellite which could lead to a complete world-wide communications network. Impact Locations Another use of the area would be as impact locations for inter-continental ballistic missiles lobbed from 5.000 or 6.000 miles away on the Cali fornia coast. The Navy divided the huge area into sections including the "polar orbitting range," the "polar recovery area," and the "ballistic missile range." The importance of using Manus island, now under trusteeship of the United Na tions, as a launching site for satellites was stressed because its location would allow the establishment of an equator ial orbit in which the satellite could be made to travel at the same speed as the earth and therefore remain over one spot of the globe.
