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-

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-

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.

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

(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.
