IIIGHTOH'KR WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States and Britain are fac ing a new crisis in their negotia tions with the Soviet Union (or an enforceable treaty outlawing test explosions of nuclear weapons, It may reach a head soon after the three-power talks resume Jan. 12 in Geneva. It is not the first time a deadlock has threatened The crisis centers around de velopment of an international in tpection system strong enough to discourage cheating with sneak explosions. Unless the Soviet Union modifies Its opposition to strengthening the aystem already proposed, Presi dent Eisenhower indicates he may order a resumption of under ground test explosions in the United States. Before such a step would be taken, officials said, the United States would very likely change Its strategy in the negotiations at Geneva to seek a limited rather than a comprehensive test ban. A limited ban would apply only to explosions in the air or in the water. They could be policed more easily than underground explo tions. A toughening U.S. policy with respect to the negotiations was disclosed Tuesday when Eisen hower substituted a day-to-day voluntary suspension of nuclear weapons tests for the present fixed-term moratorium which ex pircs Dec. 31. The United States, he said at Augusta, Ga will consider itself free to resume nuclear weapon testing but "we shall not resume . . . without announcing our in t'ntions in advance. In effect Eisenhower put the world and particularly Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev on no tice that without substantial prog ress toward agreement at Ge neva the U.S. test suspension pol icy may be revoked some time next year. The decision drew a mixed re action on Capitol Hill. Sen. Hubert If.

Edith Green (D-Ore) Tuesday. The congresswoman said in a newsletter the federal income tax code seriously needs revision. She estimated that present loop holes cost the government 11 bil lion dollars annually in revenue. "There is every reason to be lieve the present rates can even be cut slightly and still yield ad ditional revenues," she said, "if tome of the worst loopholes are plugged." She said the failure of the last aession of Congress to act upon any of the bills to make federal assistance for education available to states and school districts was one of the most glaring failures, Owners Bury Talking Bird WINDBER, Pa.

Sen. Alexander Wiley of Wiscon sin, ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, said nuclear testing would be resumed only if It is necessary for this country's security. He said Eisenhower's stand should be supported. Sen. J. William Fulbright 'D Ark), the committee chairman, said the decision would involve only "a very slight change" in the current situation unless the U S.S.R. resumed its testing. He said the President "may be try ing to suggest a little more ur gency in proceeding with the ne gotiations at Geneva." This is not the first time that disputes over the inspection sys tem have endangered the negotia tions. Concessions by the Soviet Union toward strengthening the proposed control machinery eased another threatened collapse last summer. The new dispute is made more serious, however, by the fact that it has involved not only the polit ical negotiators but also the U.S. and Soviet scientists who have re cently participated. The State Department released Tuesday night a statement by Dr. .lames B. Fisk, chairman of the U.S. scientific group which met with British and Soviet experts in Geneva earlier this month. Fisk accused Dr. E. K. Fcderov, the Soviet scientific chief at Geneva, of having made an "incorrect, dis torted and misleading statement" about information furnished by American scientists. Federov had said at Geneva that a U.S. report on difficulties in detecting underground nuclear explosions contained "many er rors and even some misrepresen tation." He accused the U.S. sci entists of "manipulations in de veloping their conclusions." The new American information was derived from a series of four underground explosions held in this country under the code name 'hardtack" in the fall of 1958. This information, the American scientists told the British and So viets showed that underground nu clear explosions could be muffled to such a degree that it would be impossible to distinguish them from ordinary earthquake trem ors. 1 1 rrarcm mmirrfrr NEW YEAR'S EVE MIDNITE SHOW!

At State's '59 Health Record To Be Worst In History PORTLAND (AP) Oregon's 195'J health record is expected to be the worst in its history, the state Board of Health said Tues day. The 77,000 cases of communi cable diseases reported probably is the greatest number in the state's history, state board statis ticians said. This was due mostly to an all- time high influenza epidemic and an unusually heavy outbreak in both polio and infectious hepa tilus. An expected death toll of 16,800 this year will carry Oregon be yond the 16,000 mark for the first time in its history. The death mark gives Oregon a death rate of 9.5 persons per 1,000 in 1IK9, compared lo an ex pected national rale of 0.4 persons. This is the first time since 1943 that Oregon has exceeded the na tional rate. The report also expressed con cern over increases in infant deaths, illegitimate births, traffic and industrial accidents, heart disease and venereal disease rates. An increase in infant deaths of some 7 per cent to 900, compared to 844 last year, is expected. The slate's infant death rate was second lowest in the nation in 1950, fifth in 1957 and 11th last year. This year it is expected to be 15th. Dr. Harold Erickson, retiring stale health officer, said the sta tistics are danger signs and rep Ohm Tonlt 4:45 20,000 LAUGHS UNDER THE, SEAI TONY CURTIS PETTICOAT' DAYS! nismt, we call it the moom resent a trend of the past several years. He placed partial blame for the higher infant death rate on the failure of the federal gov ernment to employ enough public health nurses. There are fewer public health nurses per capita in Oregon this year than there were 10 years ago, he said. The communicable disease rate for infectious hepatitis this year is the fourth worst in Oregon his tory. That for polio is the worst since 1955. Flu cases were at an all-time high of more than 55,000 cases. Marriages were expected to in crease some 2.1 per cent to 10,000 But there were 6,020 divorces or 1.2 for every two marriages in Oregon. The number of illegitimate births was 1,100 this year, far above the 667 of 1950. Total births were only 36,130, the smallest number in Oregon since 1950. There were an estimated 936 cases of gonorrhea for 1959 and 186 were persons less than 20. In 1950 there were 614 with only 58 among teen-agers.

The first phase involves brush cutting on the. Lone Slar Road between Polk and Yamhill coun ties. The state will pay 70 per cent of the cost and the countv 30 per cent. The program is aimed at mak ing work more attractive than welfare, but members said it is not meant as a substitute for wel fare payments and will not re place other jobs. The welfare officials under the program :.iay cut off relief to any one who refuses to take a job or do good work under the new pro gram. "We must end this situation in which people are encouraged to sit back and accept welfare," said Commissioner Joseph E. Harvey Jr. A policy requiring general as sistance recipients to take jobs offered them also was reaffirm ed. A four-point program, on adop tions was approved. It would seek an Oregon law change to allow only authorized child-care agen cies to place children in foster homes; seek more studies of adoptive homes; a law making it illegal for real parents to revoke consent for adoption; and an end to state subsidies for private child care agencies.

The recent appointment of a 10- nation committee to study dis armament plans will focus world wide attention on the activities of that committee and the operations of the United Nations in general The resolution on which the study is based defines disarmament as tne maintenance of peace through a system of enforceable arms reductions down to the level necessary to preserve domestic or der. At the 14th General Assembly tne delegates predicted that dis armament would be the central issue of the coming session With this vital issue before us it is well to consider what the United Nations means to the Unit ed States. Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. representative to the United Nations, has issued a statement in which he states that in seek ing the answer to this question we must look at the U.N. with the utmost objectivity. We must scrutinize its purposes, its achieve ments, its shortcomings, its util ity, and its future promise. He further stated that while the need for the United Nations is as strong and as steady as the human yearning for peace, its future suc cess depends entirely on the ex- ent to which members support it. The sources for information on the United Nations are available from many points of view. News papers and periodicals report on its activities. Radio and televi sion programs provide direct and current information. As many as 45 organizations of special inter ests have Observers at the U.N. meetings, all of which provides assurance of comprehensive re porting. Many organizations sponsor U.N. study groups. There is a local chapter of the American As sociation for the United Nations, and membership in this group pro vides a flow of information and a setting for discussion.
