Electrical Work Also included in the program Is the building of a room to take care of a volt transformer, to be installed as soon as possible. At present, electrical facilities in the high school are very inade-. quate, wnn lines carrying almost one-third overload of current, ac cording to Arnold L. Gralapp, school superintendent. The room will be built in the present girls' locker room, displacing a large part of the showers and some of the game room. An easy access for janitors to get to the work shop will be built into the room. This room creates necessity of changing the girls' locker room, and partial renovation of the locker room will be done tills year, Gralapp said. Next to the volt partition, a space for tumb ling will be set off by wire, and the showers will be enlarged to take care of 30 at one time. A self-service basket system is planned also, for both boys' and girls' locker room, but will not be put in this year. Boys will dress in the old tumbling, sheet metal and radio room, which will be converted into the regular dressing rooms for physical education classes. It will be. designed to take care of approximately 800 boys. The present dressing room will be used mainly for game dressing rooms. Work on these jobs will begin at once, said Gralapp, with the exception of the stairwell, which will be open for bids August 19. All remodeling was granted only as an emergency measure, Gra I lapp stated, while the main addi- tion planned, a new wing, is being held up by the CPA.

PHONE 5609 SKINS FOUNDATIONS for dry or normal skins,' at Vf " "r, Gromyko Rows On Atom Again NEW YORK, Aug. 7 (J1) The United Nations atomic commit tee No. 2, charged with the task of drafting a world control pro gram, began a long recess today after a closed session marked by a sharp exchange between the United States and Soviet repre sentatives over Russian criticism of the American plan. Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko criticized the United States for continuing production of atomic weapons. "The United States seems to consider the present situation perfectly normal, a situation in which there is no agreement, no convention, no guaranties for bidding the production and use of atomic weapons," Gromyko said. But it is obvious that the present situation is abnormal. I don't see how one can ask other states blindly to believe in the good intentions of the United States and to accept the United States proposal as regards atomic weapons, and at the same time to doubt the good intentions' of oth ers." John M. Hancock, the U. S. representative, had objected to a statement by Gromyko at a previous meeting which implied that the United States would re fuse to participate in a conven tion outlawing atomic weapons unless the atomic commission ac cepted the U.S. proposal without change. Radioactivity Felt Over S.F. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7 ) Radioactive chemicals, presum ably from 'the July 1 atomic bomb test at Bikini, have been detected over San Francisco, University of California hospital scientists said today. The amounts were too small to affect human beings and "would have to be increased many hundreds or thousands of times" to become dangerous, they said. The increase was detected about 100 hours after the first A-bomb blast at Bikini, 4700 miles from San Francisco. "This was about the right time for the stuff to reach here from Bikini," the scientists reported, using as a basis the time it took radioactivity to be picked up in Washington after the New Mex ico test. High Winds Spread Fires In Mountains MISSOULA, Mont., Aug. 7 0P High winds spread forest fires in the northern Rocky moun tains today (Wednesday) as three large blazes raged out of con trol in Yellowstone National park in northwestern Wyoming, the Kootenai national forest of extreme northwestern Montana and in the Helena national forest of central t Montana.
