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.

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.
