In Dealings
Over A-Ban
By JOHN M. 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.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Peace,
tax reform, education, civil rights
and migratory labor in that or
derwere listed as the key prob
lems of Congress and the nation
next year by Rep. 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,

New Crisis
With Reds
Test Treaty
ate Disarmament subcommittee,
sharply disapproved, calling it
"nuclear brinkmanship" which
might backfire and upset chances
for agreement with the Soviet Un
ion. 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.

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

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.

Welfare Grbiip
Has Adopted
New Program
PORTLAND (AP)-Mcn can be
forced to go to work cutting brush
to get them off the welfare rollo
under a progiam adopted Tues
day by the Oregon Public Wei
fare Commission in cooperation
with Polk County.
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.

City Honors
Sam Rayburn
SHERMAN, Tex. (AP)-Speaker
of the House Sam Rayburn, who
will be 78 when Congress convenes
Jan. 6. gets an advance birthday
celebration today as Sherman
pays special tribute to its veteran
representative.
Highlighting the "Sam Rayburn
Appreciation Day" was a luncheon

say, chairman.
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.
For persons who wish to exer
cise their privilege in taking part
in world affairs, this course of
aelion can be considered. Learn
about the United Nations, its func
tion, and its accomplishments. On
the basis of as much information
as can be obtained form convic
tions. Communicate with the elect-

State residents got a reminder
today that the wake of the holl
day season is bleak.
That is when the income tax

will open instead the following day.
Erickson advised completing as
much of the return as possible
before asking assistance of the
local office. The taxpayer should
read the return and the instruc
tion booklet carefully, he said.
He also suggested phoning the of
fice for solution to minor problems.
