0 THURSDAY. JUNB 9. 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. Negotiations Said Being Hampered by Government Secrecy Washington (Science Serv ice) - Government military and atomic secrecy was de nounced here. Dr. I. I. Rabi, Nobellst of Columbia Univer sity, indicated that secrecy was hampering negotiations to suspend nuclear bomb tests. He said the secrecy sur rounding the conduct of mil itary and atomic matters re sults in a barrage of misin formation, half-truths and ''outright distortion" of facts as the basis for public opinion. He spoke at the presentation ceremony of the Atoms for Peace Awards at the National Academy of Sciences here. Dr. Rabi Is a member of Pres ident Eisenhower's Science Advisory Commltte. 1 Refugees Report Red China Plans 1 Starvation Drive I Editor'i Note: Since May 1 about i S00 Chinese have fled to Macao T from Red China.

Here ne reporu on what some refugees have to lay on the mutation in Ken unina, 1 By LEONEL BORRALHO it Macao tUPB Each refugee had a slightly different story to tell, but they all reiterated the same belief that Mao Tse Tung plans to reduce Red China's over-whelming popu lation party through starva tion and overwork. t: The disastrous food situ- etion was evident on the face of each as he spoke of the terrible developments- on the China mainland. Lai Fok, a dehydrated-look ing man of about 40 said "death occurred every day in the Tou Mung commune. Peo-"-. pie died because they had no food to eat and wnen tney were forced to work, they just collapsed and died in the . fields, factories, everywhere." People Eal Grass Chang Sam, a 34-year-old farmer from Sun wui in Kwantung province, said people in and around Sun Wui are so hungry that they te grass and anything In Sight which they thought edi ble." Lao Sau, 37, a fisherman who fled by boat to Macao j from his native Chungshang , country, said "with each day- i break fishermen and farmers j alike hoped for an opportun- ity to escape to Macao or . Hong Kong and we all have ' at one time or another attemp ted to do so though not many are successful. We are quite TBckless because we believe we are already sentenced to .: death by starvation and over ..' work. One way or another .. Jwe are doomed to die so we -escape." s.' laughs at Report A vouth. possibly stui a J teenager but looking like an old man. laughed loudly when told communist Chinese authorities have offered 100, 000 sacks of rice to aid vic tims of Hong Kong's recent floods. "It is funny to hear the Communists are giving rice away. If anyone needs rice.it is us in the mainland. I do rot know what's becoming of this world. I honestly do not know." . The youth's name is being withheld because he still .has relatives in Red China. Astronomers Plan Study in Arizona Tucson. Ariz. (Science Serv- ice-The first visiting astron will atart arriving this month at nearby Kitt Peak National Observatory, where a 38-inch telescope is now in nnprntlon. For the following six months, Kitt Peak will be the fnnis for astronomical re search programs by guest scientists, whose studies will ranee from the light curves of variable stars to spectro grams of emission nebulosity in the neclcus of the Milky Way galaxy in which the sun and its planets are located. Kitt Peak National Observ atory; some 40 miles south west of here on the Papago Indian reservation, is oper- BtpH for the National Science Foundation by the Associa tion nf Universities for Re- arch in Astronomy, AURA. No NamM Mentioned Although Dr. Rabi did not mention any i.ames, his attack on secrecy in government, par ticularly in the atomic field, was aimed at the minority of scientists who believe only the mreai oi mutual mass anni hilation and a complete arse nal of nuclear weapons can prevent global war. One of the most vocal members of this group is Dr. Edward Tel ler of the University of Cali fornia, who is sometimes call ed the "father" of the hydro gen bomb. Most scientists in the U.S. and allied countries. Dr. Rabi said, look toward a "more open world" where the sha dow of destructive warfare will hang less heavily over mankind. They believe, the future should hold some vis ion more pleasant that "a huge super nuclear explosion." Neither the scientists alone, nor officials who have much power by election or appoint ment but little or no know ledge o science and technol ogy, can solve the problems of living peacefully in in atomic world. Even a com bination of the best brains from the fields of science, bus iness, religion, and academic and political life. Dr. Rabi said, would be hardly equal to the "task of mapping a wise and safe course through the tangle of mistrust and terror" that has grown up in the post war years. One cause of present prob lems is the distortion caused by exaggerated secrecy, with its consequent lack of in formed opinion, Dr. Rabi charged. This secrecy has ac tually gained very little for the U.S. .The Russians are not far be hind us in atomic weapons, while our allies are way be hind after spending much money rediscovering facts and methods already known in the U.S. and the USSR. Although most policy mak ers, amateur or professional, are not deeply interested in or capable of judging the tech nological situation, Dr. Rabi said, secrecy results in frus tration, doubt and timidity about the exercise of inde pendent judgement. The re sult is' that many judicious persons accept the judgments by others whose knowledge is often even more limited than theirs but which extends into the "dread domain of the top secret." To live at peace with the atom, Dr. Rabi concluded, the U.S. must find its way back to the fundamental principles on which it was founded.

Mrs. Helen aaviisKy i Beet Sugar Development Foundation produced the hy brids under U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service supervision. In crossing the plants she in creased the number oi enrom osomes in the sugarbeet Instead of the usual two sets of heredity - bearing chromosomes, plants witn four sets (tetraplolds) were Droduced. Most previous aiiempw w transfer resistance from wild enecles to sugarbeets have been unsuccessful. The) ' hy brids either died before flow- erine because of poor root de velopment, or were complete ly .terile: Because oi tne increases number of chromosomes in the hybrids produced by Mrs. Savltskv. the chance of de veloping a sugarbeet that has the chromosome segment car-1 rying resistance to the worm pests is reponea promising.
