Bf HUGH WATERTIELD X London - (LTD - The Western powers are beginning to have "J second thoughts on the pres ent moratorium on nuclear .test explosions because of re- ported startling advances in Russian nuclear wctons, j Western military experts said -.today.

The experts told United Press International the West Zern delegates at the Geneva nuclear talks are caught be Sj tween the devil of public opin-r- ion which opposes further nu- 1 1 . . f . m it. . ciear explosions .ana me aeep blue sea of advanced Soviet J nuclear techniques. Negotiations Watched - For nearly a year the world has watched the negotiations Sin Geneva, hoping that the 5 specter of. a deadly nuclear Earms race can be erased. , The talks resumed in Geneva this ? week after a two-month re- cess. r ' ; 5 Rt the moment the "nuclear club" of Russia; the . United f States and Britain have a 5 verbal understanding that no 2 nuclear tests will be made be- fore next year. t The military experts in Lon- don said Western leaders recognize the strong public 2 demand for a ban on tests. 2 But, they said, evidence so far X of the danger to health by f radioactive fallout is not con clusive. . .. Weigh Military Risk Western statesmen and mili- 2 tary leaders have the respon j sibility for deciding whether the military risk to. the West 5 of a prolonged ban on tests outweighs the improved dan- 3 ger. to health, they said. : 5 -The experts recalled evi 3 dence ' given by . the ,U. S. g Atomic Energy Commission erly .this ;ear ;to a closed session of a Senate subcom- mittee. AEC scientists said that fallout, trapped and ana- 2 dirty Russian nuclear test last E year, indicated that Russia 3 had developed a "super atom Ebomb,'! ; Analysis of this fallout led 2 the U.S.. scientists to the con- 3 elusion the Russians had enor- mously greater supplies of 2 uranium than the West sus s pected. It also indicated they S have ' solved the problem, t which still baffled Western scientists, of bringing large quantities of uranium-235 to- gether in the casing of their X superbomb without producing t an automatic nuclear reaction. Has Delivery Power - The military experts here said Russia's Sputniks and i LunilS have shown she has missiles, capable of delivering her super atomic bomb. , No country yet has a missile pow- erful enough to parry a hydro ; gen bomb, they said. One of the main problems - is in the method of detonating f the hydrogen bomb. The start J' of a fusion reaction requires such vast heat and energy that Western scientists have so far been able to produce it only Zby using an atomic bomb to detonate the hydrogen bomb. The Russians also appear to be ahead of the West in find- ... . x: - i 4U : 1 ing an uiernauve w um, -- 2 cording to the London ex 5 perts. ' . 3 A Soviet explosives expert f Gen. Georgi Iosifovich Pokro ivisky, said recently all Rus sia's: latest hydrogen - bombs are detonated by what he call ed an "electrical explosion" instead of by atomic bombs. H-Bomb Value Limited : Western military experts said the value of the hydro gen bomb, even in massive retaliation, was seriously limited by its weight and that at present it can be delivered only by manned bombers. . The experts said all Soviet targets are surrounded by deep anti - aircraft defenses equipped with radar and guid ed missiles. An attack by manned aircraft would in volve heavy losses in men and planes and.a large percentage of waste in bombs which would not reach their targets. In view of this, the experts said, it is vital for the West to improve , and lighten the hydrogen bomb and this can be done only through test ex plosions. , v . Van Doren Given Quiz Show Help, Source Declares New York-DPD-Charles Van Doren was given questions and answers to run . up his winnings, to $129,000 on the quiz show "Twenty-One," an authoritative source said to day. V ; '"' The source said Van Doren, who earlier denied he had re ceived any help in answering questions on 'the' NBC pro gram, was xea questions ana answers to- neip nun, over rough spots on the show. ' The New York Times said it had learned from an authoritative, source in .the Criminal Courts Building that both Van Doren and Hank Bloom gar den, another "Twenty-One" winner, had admitted to District Attorney Frank S. Hogan that they had received both questions and answers on the show. - . . Many Given Aid Big prize ' winners of the program with few excep tions received pre-broadcast aid, a source who has been questioned 'by authorities about rigged TV shows told -United Press International. Neither Van Doren - nor Bloomgarden would comment. Van Doren, 33-year-old Eng lish instructor, at Columbia University, will appear Mon day.. in Washington before a congressional committee in vestigating quiz show rigging. It was reported his attorney had asked for a closed hear ing under a house rule that any testimony which might tend to "defame, degrade or incriminate" may be taken in secret. : - Both Bloomgarden, who won $98,500, and Van Doren had appeared at Hogan's of fice last Friday to make "substantial changes" in earlier statements they had given the district attorney. They had refused to discuss the changes with newsmen. TO VISIT RUSSIA ,' Moscow - (DM - Merchant Marine Minister Victor . Ba kayev has announced that American, longshoremen, warehousemen, and shipown ers will send delegations to visit the Soviet Union. Ba kayev said Wednesday the in vitations were extended be cause of the American long shoremen's "welcome to pre mier Khrushchev in San Francisco." j i ? j V t i?t fin I H ! -mm. 11 X 11 4 1 STILL ACTIVE Dave Beck, former president of the Inter national Brotherhood' of Teamsters, is still active in the automotive world.'

(UPI Telephoto) Youth Insures Mates Against School Mishaps Lowestoft,"' England (CPU Geoffrey Small, 13, president of the Middle School Insur ance Society, reported today he : doing a "whacking good business" in insuring his schoolmates . against spank ings and other schooltime ac cidents. . - Small and his board of 13- year-old directors operate at Lowestoft Grammar school. They charge their clients three cents a week and pay up to four shillings (56 cents) for a major disaster such as a caning by a teacher. Detention after school pays 42 cents, but some minor hap penstance as having to write 100" lines ' of poetry on the blackboard brings the client onl; 14 cents. s We started it" as a joke, but it has worked but rather well Luckily, the chaps haven't got up to too many pranks or we would have been crippled by now," President Small said. ; f: Terry Wilton, 12, said, "I joined and made one shilling (14 cents) out of it in five weeks." I laughed at the start but 80 lines of blackboard poetry brought me in eight pence. "Then the boys found out how easy it was to get lines and made money. That, of course, the insurance organi zation didn't like." President Small stopped that racket. He punched out new policies on his father's typewriter, inserting a clause excluding payments for "ac cidents" engineered by policy holders. "I had to make honesty pay," ne said. Chilled Blood Aids In Heart Surgery Philadeiphia-(Science Serv ice) - Chilled' blood sent through the coronary arteries will cause the heart to come to a - complete temporary standstill, enabling cardiac surgery to be performed more easily. The procedure was describ ed at the Scientific Session of the American Heart associa tion here by Dr. Vincent L. Gott of the University of Minnesota Medical school. During the past year, he said, patients' hearts had been stopped for- 45 to 60 minutes by chilling their blood sup plies to 62 degrees Fahrein heit or below. ; The resulting, heart stop allowed surgeons to operate on an immobile and dry heart while heart - lung machines maintained circulation to the rest of the body. Since 1957 surgeons have been able to stop the heart with drugs. The heart starts again when normal circula tion is restored and the re turning blood washes out the drug. ' ' ' The use of chilled blood to stop the heart offers several advantages over the drug method, according to Dr. Gott. Cold blood can be sent through the heart muscle from time to time as desired. This prevents oxygen, "star vation" of the heart muscle and minimizes undesirable changes in the chemistry of the heart. The new method makes it possible, Dr. Gott said, to still the heart for much longer than is usually considered safe with drugs. I Food Problem Said To Be More Acute Ithaca, N.Y. (DPI .-The world's food problem is more acute now than it was before World War II, and in import ant areas is steadily growing worse, according to Prof. HerrellF. DeGraff, Cornell University food economist. DeGraff said the increase in population since before the war has outrun increases in food production in many parts of the world where food qual ity is lowest. " He noted, for example, that food production in 1955-56 had increased only 42 per cent above pre-war levels, in Latin America while the population was rising by 50 per cent. The figures for the Far East, ex cluding Red China, show food production up 20 per cent and population up 25 per cemV RUDE SON-IN-LAW Los Angeles - (UPC - Actress Sylvia Lewis, 28, was granted a divorce from her film direc tor husband John Rich, 34, Wednesday, but not on her charge that Rich was rude to her mother. "No man is ob ligated to love his mother-in-law," the judge said. (Q)p ofRallroad Mastery's Higgesft EBattDes SGnaposig - dip Chicago (UPD Management and unions readied today for one of the biggest battles in the history of the nation's railroads. Conferences are underway or soon will be on contracts involving most of the 800,000 railroad workers. The pro cedures are complicated, but charges ringing out from both camps are quite clear. For example, the railroads" claim" f eatherbedding 7 prac tices of the unions are cost ing the carriers $500 million a year, money spent for work not performed or not needed. The unions retort that man agement intends, "even if it provokes a strike," to insist on changes " in the working rules which labor has estab lished by negotiations dating back as much as 40 years to protect the public as well as the workers. The railroads say the unions j this year have presented de mands for wage . and fringe gains which would amount to $750 million annually, among them:. , -The Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, the Order of - Railway Conductors - and the Brakemen, and Switch men's Union of North Ameri ca seek a 12 per cent pay in crease. -The Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen and the Broth erhood of Locomotive Fire men and Enginemen are ask ing for a 14 per cent pay in crease. -The 16 non-operating un ions, composed of employees who do not man the trains, want a flat 25 cent an hour wage increase. A 25-cent an hour pay re duction, "the amount by which wage increases for rail road employees have exceed ed those for workers in in dustry generally since 1953" plus elimination of all cost of living escalator provisions. ' Because of the Railway La bor Act,: any strike appeared unlikely right away. The -issues, one way or another are expected to wind up in the hands of mediators or, at last resort, a presidential fact finding board. The non-operating t unions will ask for changes in work ing rules, in addition to the 25-cent an hour increase, when- a three-year morato rium ends Sunday. ' The railroads are waiting for Sunday, too. After Sun day the railroads will be free to try to get the so-called feather bedding-rules amend ed. The issues will come to a head, the unions demanding more money and the railroads demanding new rules.
