It's good exercise and good fun, she says, and "I enjoy it a great deal more than playing golf. You'd hardly expect the secre tary of state to speak of his wife as Mac. But he does. Homey things like that do a lot to take away the impression some people get of Mrs. Hcrter in form al society the picture of a frosty Bostoman, tall, lean ana imper lous. Actually, she was Miss Mary Caroline Pratt of Brooklyn when the handsome Chris Herter Parisian-born, Harvard-educated young patrician took her for his bride in 1917. The years have been kind to them except, of course, in the mat- tcr of Herter's sometimes crip. pling arthritis. They have had a full family We. with lour children and 14 grandchildren. They have enjoyed other good things of life, too. For example, they've had three homes to be nappy in. There's - a 150-year-old town house here in Georgetown. There's a 260-acre (arm (line tor wood chopping) at Millis, Mass. There's a vast plantation, called Cheeha- Combahee, in South Carolina. Mrs. Herter's father. Frederick Pratt, bought the plantation in litL'J. He was the son of Charles Pratt, one of the founders of Standard Oil. Charles Pratt also was the foun der of Pratt Institute, which in cludes a well known art school in Brooklyn. Mrs. Herter is herself a talented painter. Her liking for painting she modestly regards herself as an amateur affords another com mon interest with the secretary. His parents were both artists and he inherited some of their tal ent, with a bent toward architec ture. The Herters are fortunate in an other way; neither has to diet con sciously. AF Launches Bbmarc Shot CAPE CANAVERAL,. Fla. (AP) The Air .Force has launched the last of its present Bomarc inter. ceptor' missiles from the Cape on an Atlantic test night. - The trim Boeing missile stredkcM 'aloft Tuesday just before a heavy rainstorm. The target was a drone plane cruising 200 miles out to sea. , I A new version of the missile. capable of - twin? the range, is expected to be ready for testing late this spring. The results of the test were not announced. The launching came 10 hours after a Snark intercontinental guided missile logged a highly successful round trip flight cov ering about 2,000 miles. Couples To Note Anniversary 50 EFFINGHAM. 111. (AP) Two Effingham couples will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversaries Sunday in the church where their double wedding was held. Mr. and Mrs. George Grunloh and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dust were married April 27, 1909, in St. Anthony's Catholic church. The Grunloh's have 12 children. 57 grandchildren and six great grandchildren. The Dusts have three children and seven grand children. Retired Miners Discovered Dead JOHNSTOWN, Pa., (AP)-Two retired miners, widowers who lived alone in homes 200 yards apart, were found shot to death Tuesday night in what authorities called a murder-suicide. Coroner Joseph Govckar said John Topor, 63, killed Stanley Mardula. 72, with a .22 caliber pistol in Mardula's home, then went to his own house and fired a bullet into his head. Govckar could offer no motive for the shootings in a remote area 18 miles north of this western Pennsylvania community. Life Span Seen As Four Score EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP America's senior citizens of the future will be living it up until their dying day but that few would live past 80. That's the outlook as seen by Dr. Austin Smith, president of the American Pharmaceutical Assn. He told a Michigan State Uni versity meeting that man's quest for longevity has nearly reached its peak. He said the average age of mortality now about 74 will level off at about 80. But Smith said medical ad. varices will allow most oldsters to remain active to the end. PROLONGED TALK SALT LAKE CITY. Utah (API When police heard a suspicious person had born lurking in a pub lic pnone oooin lor more than an hour Ihry sent a car around to investigate. They found a woman on the telephone just having a pro longed talk with a friend. Visitors are much impressed with the taste and elegance of in terior decoration as practiced so determinedly by the Herters. One reason is their stress on getting just the right color. There's a small library in the P Street home here, where an eyecatcher is a painting of a Chi nese mandarin in crimson robes. The Herters have painted this room red six times, each coat slightly different from the last, to carry along that particular shade of crimson. ' Does this sound like the Herters are too finicky? You couldn't be more wrong. They have two dogs, and the dogs run loose in the house. Pope Visits With Royalty ROME (UPD-Princess Mar garet and Queen Mother Elizabeth met in private audience with Pope John XX11I today. The meeting was opposed by some Protestant church officials in Britain. The audience was Margaret's second with a pope She., visited the late Pope Pius XII 10 years ago. The visit caused a flurry of criticism by church officials in Britain, particularly in Scotland, and led to speculation that Mar garet, who as a member of the royal family is a leader of the Church of England, was consider ing conversion to Roman Catholi cism. The British Embassy here called the speculation "balder dash," Vatica'n officials refused even to discuss the subject. A let ter from Clarence House, the prin cess' official residence in London, called the audience a courtesy visit, saying it would be improper for Margaret not to accompany her mother on a call to Vatican City. The letter apparently failed to satisfy the church's Committee on Religioa and Morals, which said: "The fact remains that the claims of the pope as head of the Roman church and sovereign rul er of the Vatican City are so closely . interwoven that, 'recogni tion of the other." The. deeply religious princess talked with the late Pope Pius for 20 minutes on May 10, 1949. The audience caused so much embar rassment in court and Scottish Presbyterian circles that reports of today's visit had been solt pedalled. by Buckingham Palace and the British. Foreign Office.

Ike's Proposal To Reds Seeks Fallout Peril End WASHINGTON !AP-President Eisenhower's proposal to the So viets that nuclear tests be banned below altitudes of 30 miles unless underground is aimed to elimi nate danger from fallout. A nuclear explosion spews out radioactive particles. Their rain to the earth is called fallout. The ex tent of the threat this offers to the world population is a point of some controversy among scien tists. But all agree that in suffi cient concentration there is a dan ger. An underground explosion, II sealed deep in the earth, brings no fallout. The radioactive parti cles are confined. As to high altitude shots, such Clubs Blast Rock Roll SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP)-Rock n' Roll was being treated like a condemned killer at the biennial convention of the National Feder ation of Music Clubs today. It s early end was freely pre dicted "and a good thing, too," declared Mrs. Blant Buford of Dal las, Tex., chairman of the group's publicity department. She and such a noted music au thority as Sigmund Spaeth, writer and lecturer, blamed it for killing television's "Hit Parade" pro gram, which they said was ending soon. Dr. Vera Wardner Dougan of Beloit, Wis., president of the fed eration, declared: Vlt was noth ing but a beat anyway, and it is just Dealing itself out. ' Their comment followed and supported a report to the conven tion by Ada Holding Miller of Providence, R.I., chairman of the groups American music section. that Rock V Roll was rocking ana roiling itself out of popularity. This conclusion was based on reports from member clubs, half of which are composed of young people, and on popular numbers in the organization's February Parade ' of American Music. They were largely folk music and musical show hits. Spaeth said reports from music publishers and recording compan ies also snowed hock n Roll was coming to an end. It was nothing but a unele beat," he said, speaking of it in the past tense. "Perhaps, it did reflect a spirit of our times, but even the kids are dropping it." Senator Hits GOP Policy EUGENE, Ore.

The price of such a policy paid by other nations in history, he said, "is written in the seared, over-grazed and deforested Mid dle East." This nation is not the Middle East, but a nation that forgets its natural resources are living on borrowed time, said Humph rey, in the heart of Oregon's rich lumber country. Forests, he warned, do not spring up overnight and 28- mil lion acres of currently bare land needs reforestation. He said for est output must be upped by 50 per cent in the next 50 years to meet the future. Nearly 300 million acres of watershed must be planted and the growing population makes water development urgent. It is tragic, he said, to allow this work to go undone while we permit mil lions to remain idle. Humphrey, often ciled as f possible - Democratic presidential nominee, said the kind of a Strug gle this nation should seek with the Russians is a struggle to see who can first desalt sea water. Cheap fresh water, he said, would bring prosperity to domestic are as long plagued by lack of water. highways mtrt iayVawfiral writ: cement industry Oregon ?MI Ammm Pwtnmi I. Orana I -XT S simple factors as gravity and tha rate of decay of fission products enter into the calculations of re duced danger. Radioactive particles from a nu clear burst in the earth's atmo sphere drop fairly fast toward tha earth. This means that they reach the surface while they are still radioactively hot. But as altitude increases, parti cles released from a nuclear ex plosion descend more slowly since gravity is dimimsnea as distance in space increases. This means that most of the particles have longer opportunity to lose their radioactivity. By the time they reach earth, some sci entists believe, contamination has become a mere harmless trace. However, the rate of decay for strontium 90, most persistent and dangerous of the radioactive pro ducts, is far slower than other elements. But, say the scientists, out in space concentrations of strontium 90 probably become widely diffused and tend to drift down -slowly,, thus reducing the dangerous effect by dispersion. The United Mates nas tired at least five atomic explosions at al titudes about 30 miles three in Project- Argus over the South At lantic last summer and two sent up from Johnston Island, over the Central Pacific, a few weeks ear lier. The Argus explosions were at altitudes of about 300 miles. The two Johnston Island tests were be lieved to have been made at al titudes of between 50 and 100 miles. The Soviets so far have made no direct claim to having conducted edge-of-space nuclear tests. About year ago, Soviet officials re ferred to nuclear explosions con ducted at very high altitudes, but these are presumed to have been merely mid-air bursts of bombs dropped from manned bombers operating well down within the at mosphere. It is conceivable that nuclear tests conducted above the 30-mile height could be detected by radio active samplings taken by any of several means, including "sound ing rockets and satellites. Discoverer II Death Seen WASHINGTON (AP) Tha satellite Discoverer II now is ex pected to spiral down to its death in the earth's atmosphere late Sat urday night or early Sunday. It has been in orbit since April 13. This is the moonlet that made history by successfully ejecting a capsule that fell safely back to earth, scientists say, somewhere near the Norwegian island of Spitzbergen. The capsule has not been recov ered, but radio data from the satellite indicated the capsule ex periment was a success the first time anything has come back intact after orbiting the earth. Discoverer II, fired on a polar route from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., at first was expected to stay up a month. Later fore casts had it falling early this week. Tuesday night, however, tha Defense Department said new cal culations snowed it would plunge into the atmosphere and burn up this weekend. WELFARE DEFRAUDER SENTENCED DUNSMUIR - Lorraine Porties, 48, of 1033'i Butterfly Avenue, was sentenced to 90 days in the Siski you County Jail in Dunstnuir Jus tice Court on Monday for defraud ing the county welfare office. Charges were brought by the dis trict attorney's office and Judgt A. A.
