'Honesty And
Objectivity'
Urged By Pauling
Scientist Delivers
Talk In Ashland
"For the first time in the
history of mankind, there is
a real chance the world will
cease to exist," Nobel Prize
Winner Dr. Linus Pauling
warned in an address at
Southern Oregon college Fri
day. If a nuclear war comes be
tween the United States and
Russia, Dr. Pauling said, the
world will become a radio
active waste and all the peo
ple on it will die.
Dr. Pauling, a professor of
chemistry at California Insti
tute of Technology, said that
as a scientist it was "displeas
ing" to him that science has
been the cause of the world's
present dilemma. That is why
he said he travels about the
country "talking peace and
disarmament."
Search for Truth
The speaker said that to
solve the dilemma, mankind
has to apply the fundamental
attributes of science hon
esty and objectivity.
"We must search for and
accept truth honestly," . he
said. As a guideline, he sug
gested a "golden rule" he had
devised: "Do unto others 20
per. cent better than they do
unto you to make up for
bias." He said he regarded
nationalism as a bias. -
Dr.- Pauling traced the de
velopment of nuclear warfare
capability from the atomic
bomb the United States drop
ped on Hiroshima in August,
1945 (about 200,000 people
killed) to the present.
He estimated that Russia
has a nuclear stockpile now
of about 80,000 megatons, and
that the United States has
about 240,000 megatons stor
ed, enough to "overkill" Rus
sia 12 times.
Surpriia Attacks Out
"Surprise attacks" are out
of the question, Dr. Pauling
said, since both Russia and
the United Stales have an
nounced that they have the
nuclear capability to destroy
each other even though their
countries were decimated in
an initial assault.
Dr. Pauling warned that
even tests cause damage. A
study has shown that as a
result of nuclear testing up
to 1961, we can, expect that
eventually "about 16 million
children will be born in a
defective physical condition,"
he said.
Stop Tests
He urged an immediate ces
sation of nuclear testing. He
admitted there was "some
risk" involved in such a step,
but forecast that the risk is
much greater in a continued
arms race.
The speaker said the world
came very close to an "anni
hilative war" during the Cu
ban crisis. "Why didn't the
United States go to the UN?"
he asked. "Why did no con
gressman speak up to warn
against the dangers of war?"
He urged the audience to
oppose the transfer of nuclear
weapons to NATO, and to put
pressure on their senators,
congressmen and President
Kennedy in urging them to
prevent the spread of nuclear
weapons.
"It can be done," he said,
"we can prevent war if we all
work hard enough."

sion following the hearing
Friday to avoid changing pub

termined it was necessary to
make a decision Friday night.
Petitions containing about
250 signatures were submit
ted . asking the board to
add classrooms at Jefferson
Montana, where she had been
called by a death in her fam
ily. Mr. Scriven was with his
four sons, ages 6, 4. 3, and 2
months, at the home of the
Rev. John Lenker on Red
Blanket rd.
The family lost all its be
longings in the blaze. Dona

clothing may be left at the
Lenker home.
The fire climaxed grpwing
concern in Prospect over the
state of its firefighting facili
ties. A public meeting has
been .called for Friday,
March 29 at 7:30 p.m. to dis
cuss formation of a fire pro-

Central American
Leaders Ask Action
San Jose, Costa Rica -(UPD -
Costa Pican Foreign Minister
Daniel Oduber said Saturday
the Alliance for Progress can
not prosper in an American
infected by Cuba-sponsored
communist subversion.
There Were no indications
this theme will be driven
home to President Kennedy
when he mcels here Monday
with the six Central Ameri
can presidents. Kennedy's
Central American colleagues
have made It clear they want
action, not words, in the face
of the communist r cnace.
"As long as Russia occupies
Cuba we cannot concentrate
on the urgent task of Improv
ing the economic and social
conditions of the Latin Amer
ican people," Oduber said.
"The presence of the Sov
iets in this hemisphere poses
an imminent threat of sub
version and military action
deflecting our interests from
the constructive tasks of re
forms envisioned ry the Al
liance for Progress."
He called for a new meet
ing of hemispheric foreign
ministers to tighten the iso
lation of Cuba.
Oduber, who will be co
ordinator of the president's
conference, said 250 Costa
Rican youths are presently In
Cuba receiving training in
subversion. .
He said nothing can be done
about this situation as long as
Mexico continues to serve
as a gateway fur Fidel
Castro's Communist Cuba.

France Reported
Planning A-Iesf
In Sahara Today
Algerian Officials,
Newspapers Angry
Paris - (UPD - France was
reliably r e p o r t cd Saturday
planning a new underground
nuclear test explosion in the
Sahara today despite the risk
of touching off a grave, new
crisis with Algeria.
Although no official an
nouncement has yet confirm
ed (he planned explosion.
Algerian Premier Ahmed Ben
Bella met with his cabinet in
Algiers in a crisis session to
decide its reaction.
The cabinet issued a com
munique after its meeting de
claring it "cannot accept" the
test but gave no indication
what it planned to do about
it. It said Abdellauf Rahal,
Ambassador to Paris, had
been recalled and that the
French Ambassador to Al
geria Georges Gorse had been
called in for consultation.
Algerian newspapers launch
ed an angry ami-French cam
paign denouncing the re
sumption of testing.
The newspaper Al Chabb,
orRan of the ruling National
Liberation Front (FLN), head
lined "no nuclear tests in our
country" and "no atomic ex
plosions here."
The leftist Alger Republi
can charged that the planned
explosion would "constitute
a direct attack against the
sovereignty of Algeria."
More Fathers Gel
Draft Deferment
Washington -(UPI)- President
Kennedy's new order trans
ferring 350,000 fathers from
class 1-A to 3-A In the draft
will make them subject to in
duction nine years longer, un
til the age of 35, Defense De
partment officials said Satur
day. The officials quickly added
that they saw no Immediate
significance in the change
since the government has no
intention of drafting fathers
except in rare cases for puni
tive reasons.
The President's executive
order, announced at the White
House late Friday, merely for
malizes a practice established
since 1956 of freeing fathers
from the draft.
The fact remains that under
present procedure a father
who remains in 1-A completes
his military obligation at the
age of 26. Being placed in 3-A
constitutes a deferment and
automatically adds nine years
of vulnerability to the draft,
the officials said.
The draft pool is so large,
however, that officials could
not visualize circumstances in
which this would make a dif
ference. There are now more
than 1,500.000 men in class
1-A, including 1,200,000 non
fathers between the ages of
18 and 26.
With the armed forces at a
total of 2,700,000 men, the
draft iscurrently at a rate of
9,000 to 10,000 a month. But
there are 4,000 draft boards,
though they need an average
of only two or three men a
month to fill their quotas.

"take all- necessary measures
to prevent any repetition" of
the air violation, the first of
its kind.
The Defense Department

They were over American soil
for about a half an hour and
set off a "scramble" by U. S.

all such claims.
A Defense Department
spokesman said the Russian

Threat Of Strike;
Is Averted
By Settlement
Agreement Called .
'Unique' By O'Neill
San Francisco -flJPD- South
ern Pacific railroad and the
Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks agreed Saturday night
on a settlement of their auto
mation dispute that is "unique
in railroad history." , .
The agreement ended what
has been for two months the
constant threat of a strike by
the 11,000 member brother
hood. A walkout would have
tied up SP traffic in seven
states.'
Federal Mediator Francis
A. O'Neill, in announcing the
unexpected settlement, said it
was the first time any rail
road contract "has provided
for a system of natural attri
tion." For five years SP and the
union have been haggling over
what should be done by men
displaced by automated equip
ment. The current round of
contract negotiations came to
head Feb. 6, with the un
ion's determination to strike.
O'Neill Steps In
But at that point O'Neill
stepped into, the picture and
managed - to keep.- the talks
stumbling along, despite
working under-, the handicap
of a day-to-day . strike threat.
. O'Neill -told' newsmen that
the neoottatom sinned a con-
Union
1 trad nn nf thai Issues, and
that a second document, to be
sent to President Kennedy,
spells out five Issues to be
arbitrated.
A r b i t r atlon proceedings
should begin next week and
I with luck be completed in a
I matter of 10 days, said O'Neill.
The agreement, as outlined
by O'Neill, .amounts to this:
If an employee dies, re
tires, resigns or is promoted,
the company is given an "at
trition credit." It then has the
option of either doing away
with the job, filling the posi
tion with a man whose Job
it considers obsolete, or put
ting another employee in any
other job It wishes filled.
Can't Lower Salary
But when the company
changes a man it cannot lower
his salary, even though the
job he is being moved to
might call for a lower wage,
said O'Neill.
O'Neill added that if the
company finds it necessary to
terminate an employee be
cause of automation, that em
ployee will receive 70 per
cent of his base pay for the
last year, and 60 per cent
during the next three years.
ONeill refused to discuss
the five issues to be sent to
arbitration, but it appeared
to Involve retraining provi
would be almost undetectable after one
year. The artist's conception at left shows.,
the artificial radiation zone formed by the
bomb starting at an altitude of about 300
miles and extending about 3,700 miles from
north to south along the magnetic lines of
the Van Allen belt. Van Allen's old idea
that the electrons from the test would spill
out from the ends of the belt and be ab
sorbed in the ocean is illustrated at right.
