Section C Medford Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1960 Pages 1-8 Administration in Squeeze on Nuclear Tests, Rearming Issue DISEASES OF HEART AND BLOOB VESSELS By STEWART HENSLEY Washington-(UPD-The Eisen hower administration is in a tight squeeze on two fronts in the nuclear field-resumption of test blasts and the question of arming trusted al lies with atomic weapons. No final decision has yet been reached on either, de spite a number of high-level meetings, including Presi dent Eisenhower's recent ses sion with - his top scientific defense and diplomatic aides. But time is running out No Way Found To Prevent Suicide Plane Bombings Washington - (UPD - Federal Aviation Chief Elwood R. Quesada said he has found no sure simple way of preventing suicide bombings on com mercial airliners. Quesada said the Federal Aviation agency is "trying to cope with this tendency of humans to destroy themselves and to attract attention to themselves in a spectacular way." "I have to say frankly it is very frustrating but we are trying to find means of cop ing with it. We don't want to create more problems than we solve," he said. Possibility Explored His remarks followed Sen ate hearings which explored the possibility that bombings may have been responsible for two recent airline crashes, one in North Carolina and the other one over the Gulf of Mexico. Quesada pointed out that these cases have not been def initely attributed to bomb ings. He added that during the last 10 years, only two air crashes definitely had been connected with bombings. "So we mustn't exaggerate these occurrences," he said. "Nevertheless, two is a lot. If anybody has an assured so lution, I wish they would give it to me." The FAA chief said more than half of all airline acci dents are attributable to hu man mistakes. Weakest Link "The human is the weakest link in our system," he said. "About 52 per cent of our accidents are due to human error, and it is in this area that we are bearing down hard." Quesada linked this effort with a recent FAA regulation banning airline pilots over 60 years old. He said the agency felt that as a person "passes 45 and goes to 50 and 55 and 60 and 65, the probability of human error and human failure, phy sical failure, increases at a very marked rate." Prison Escapee Has Brief Fling Portland - (UPD A 28-year-old Portland man who es caped from the Washington state prison in Walla Walla was picked up Tuesday night here less than eight hours after he made his way to free dom. A Portland patrol car pick ed up Lloyd Enfield near the northeast city limits in a stolen pickup truck. Police said Enfield escaped about 3 p.m. from the mini mum security building at the prison. Prison officials noti fied state and local authorities to be on the lookout for En field because his family lives here. Arresting officers said he offered no resistance when picked up and told them he took the truck when he found it parked with the motor runnin? Ice Cream Flavors nationality Matter Chicago-IUPD-Ice cream fla vor preferences are more a matter of nationality than taste, a recently completed study indicates. A large ice cream company made the study. It showed that Italians prefer spicy fla vors, such as cinnamon, rum and spumoni, while Swedes almost invariably settle for strawberry or coffee. Dark chocolate ice cream, the darker the better, regis tered best in Jewish neighbor hoods, while, in German areas, the company found Dutch apple to be the favor ite. The Irish showed a prefer ence for green ice cream, us ually pistachio or mint. and politically explosive de cisions will have to be made within the next-few months. Rearming Vital High military officials say it is vital to find some way to arm Britain, and possibly other "qualified" allies, with nuclear warheads to permit them to participate more ef fectively in joint defense. The Defense Department is particularly anxious to equip British fighter planes, which escort American strategic bombers, with new air-to-air nuclear weapons. The military pressure was behind the President's Wed' nesday declaration that he favored liberalizing the Atomic Energy Act to permit this sort of thing. The act at present forbids giving, any nuclear weapons to anybody, although a 1958 amendment makes it possible to give Bri tain some information and materials. The President said it did not make sense to deny the Allies weapons and in formation the Russians al ready had. His statement came after administration officials had been slapped down by the joint congressional atomic committee when they sug gested the objective might be accomplished by "interpret ing" the Act more liberally, instead of amending it. Amendment Necessary- Key congressment told the administration flatly that the act would have to be amend ed. And they made it clear this might be most difficult in an election year. A number of influential groups are strongly opposed to giving A-weapons to the Allies under any terms. They contend this Will spread nu clear know-how and event ually lead to an H-bomb holo caust. The Federation of American Scientists said such a move would be "catastro phic folly." Some congressmen fear that if the United States arms its allies, Russia may do the same for its bloc-including Communist China. The question of resuming nuclear weapons tests - sus pended by the United States more than 15 months ago also finds the President un der pressure from two direc tions. Military and atomic en ergy officials claim under ground tests must be resum ed by midsummer, unless Russia agrees by that time to a really enforcable ban, which is considered unlikely. Other wise, military officials say, the American defense pro gram will suffer seriously. Ike Aware of Need They need the tests to per fect the Army's small tacti cal nuclear bomb, refine the warheads for the Polaris and Minuteman missiles, and get along with work on the "anti missile missile," the basic weapon against nuclear at tack. Eisenhower is aware of the urgent need to proceed with tests from a defense stand- Gunnar Sees Age Of Parly Worker Eugene OJPD State Repub lican Chairman Peter Gunnar said Tuesday night that "the substantial equality of the two major political parties in Oregon means that we have entered the age of the precinct worker and party organiza tion." Addressing the University of Oregon junior class in Eu gene, he said until 1950 "Ore gon was a modified one party state, but the intervening five years have seen a change to an evenly balanced two party system." "This means that the best organized party aided by well organized women's and youth groups will get its voters to the polls and will win," he said.

But he also is aware that world opinion is likely to be sharply critical of the nation which first breaks the tacit suspension agreement which Britain, Russia and the United States have been ob serving for more than a year during negotiations for a per manent ban. The diplomatic conse quences are emphasized by Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, who warns of the psychological reaction to re sumed testing. However, in dications are that the under ground tests will be resumed if the current Geneva nego tiations fail to produce an iron-clad suspension agreement.

Care of Mental Patients Better; Still Inadequate New York - (Science Serv ice) - State- and county-operated mental hospitals, which care for 85 per cent of the nation's mental patients, of- i fered better care in 1958 than they did in previous years de- spite a slight budget cut. These hospitals spent near-; ly a dollar a day more on each I patient in 1958 than in 1957. More Physicians ! The number of physicians in these institutions also in creased, but the total number in 1958 was still only 57 per cent of the number needed. Staff employes rose from 27 per 100 patients in 1956 to 31 per 100 patients in 1958. Lawrence J. Linck, execu tive vice president of the Na tional Association for Mental Health here, said that the as sociation's findings are good but warned against too much optimism. Linck said there is still only about one doctor where two are needed, and that almost half of the pa tients are not even getting minimum psychiatric care. He stated further that the $4.06 now being spent daily on each patient is only a little more than a third of what the Vet erans Administration mental hospitals spend, and one-seventh of what is spent in gen eral hospitals. The average state govern ment spends a little over threo per cent of its total budget pa maintenance of mental hospi tals. State and local govern ments, considered together, spend less than two per cent.
